Episode Overview

This episode of “For The Dads” on Bussin’ With The Boys is a Thanksgiving week special, balancing classic dad banter, pandemic parenting horror stories, and big gratitude energy. Will and Sherm share their “chaotic” Thanksgiving and travel tales, field heartfelt notes from the PT6 (Papa Team 6) community, and pay huge respect to their wives for holding the family fort. Peppered with personal dad wins and losses, this episode is a relatable ride for any parent (or spouse!) prepping for the holidays.

---

1. Kicking Off Thanksgiving Week

[01:23–07:14]

• The hosts welcome listeners to a Thanksgiving episode, joking about families gathering to listen to For The Dads as the new post-dinner tradition distracting from dinner-table politics.
• Will: “Imagine just an entire family just watching for the dads on Thanksgiving.” [04:37]
• Will & Sherm talk dad brand communities—PT6, MT6, “Goon Berets”—and reflect on how the show is built around sharing wins, losses, and lessons as dads, not presenting themselves as experts.
• They introduce ways for listeners to interact: hotline, email, YouTube/social media comments.

---

2. Shoutouts & Community Good Vibes

[07:15–21:33]

• The boys highlight uplifting notes from listeners—parents quitting jobs to be with kids, gratitude for the PT6 “tribe,” and the ever-growing passion for drinks like Olipop.
• Will celebrates a dad’s morning routine: “That short time with them in the morning gets me so gassed for my work day.” [07:14]
• Discussion on “favorite child” hierarchy, with Will musing, “If I had a boy, he would almost immediately fall down on the totem pole forever.” [10:00]
• Sherm shares: “Having a daughter is they are teaching you how to be a good man.” [11:35]
• Fun, lighthearted listener comments: dads listening while working out, switching car seats successfully, getting family feedback about sharing stories on the pod, etc.

---

3. Dad-Life Story Highlights & Memorable Quotes

[21:33–25:28] Breaking Into Story Mode

• Both hosts describe the hectic, “peak busy” fall/holiday schedule, admitting they haven’t yet managed a combined family gathering: “We are kind of fraudulent with our ‘for the dads’ brand right now because we are boys…We just haven’t gotten all the families together.” [15:58]
• Will shares feedback (and roasting) from their wives about podcast storytelling accuracy.

---

4. Sherm’s DISASTER Travel Weekend: Top 3 Dad-Travel Nightmares

[25:28–38:06]

• Sherm details his worst-ever dad travel adventure—originally a quick flight with his wife Jill and baby Scarlet that turned into a 10-hour nightmare.

  • Highlights:

    • Baby bottle burst open right after boarding (26:29).
    • Got rerouted due to storms, stuck on tarmac for 3+ hours.
    • Out of backup bottles, nearly forced to barter with other parents as babies meltdown.
    • Two “blowouts” (diaper disasters) in close quarters.
    • Garment bag/suit forgotten on plane (“still missing”—33:06).
    • Jill earns “MVP” for unflappable mom energy, handling all diaper and crisis duties.
    • Sherm admits: “It kind of felt like when you have that one nuclear dude on your team, you’re like, so glad they’re on my team.”

  • Notable moment: Sherm confesses he spent too much time mentally “checked out,” editing and watching Terminal List, while his wife handled the chaos—a candid acknowledgment of partnership and self-awareness.

  • Notable “dad hack” from a listener: use bottle liner bags on flights for easier feeding ([37:08]).

  • Will: “Parents do it all the time…God bless them.” [38:12]

---

5. Will’s Thanksgiving Chaos: Sick Kids, Vomit, and Dad-Solutions

[38:14–45:22]

• Will’s family endures a brutal holiday weekend: both daughters and wife violently ill with a bug, complete with midnight projectile vomiting and public puking at the park.
  • Will admits his “guy brain” solution: “Throw some towels down and get back in bed...let’s hope the smell doesn’t keep us awake!” [40:25]
  • Charo (Will’s wife) “handled everything” in the trenches; Will tries to pitch in, but also sleeps through half a vomiting incident.
  • “There’s a dad card you can play here…it’s the phrase: ‘I don’t have time to get sick.’” (Chef, [45:22])
• Hosts reflect on the invisible load—managing work, parenting, and keeping perspective during the rough stretches.

---

6. Dad Community: Hotline Voicemails, Emails, Listener Wisdom

[76:12–99:07]

• Voicemail highlights:
  • Papa Witten’s Olipop review: “It’s like throwing a handful of Skittles on steroids into your mouth. And it was good. But it was very different.” [78:44]
  • Dad in the trenches: wrong sugar on strawberries for pregnant wife, turning around to the store to fix it ([86:13]), sparking “dad errands” discussion.
  • Candid tales of husbands using errands as “mental health breaks” or strategic ways to avoid certain household chores.
• Listener Emails:
  • Christian Ward (U.S. Navy, deployed, new dad): “Leaving my month-old son and wife was probably the hardest thing I have ever done. But For the Dads podcast has been helping me through missing these first few months...I get to listen to y’all’s stories and picture how sweet it’s going to be when I’m reunited with my wife and son.” [90:37]
  • Jeremy, Atlanta Fireman: “All I can think is GOOD…embrace the suck, fellas. Love what y’all are doing and makes me feel prepared for our little one coming in June.” [95:02]
  • Anonymous (female): “You show that real masculinity includes presence, care and the willingness to grow… hearing you two be so intentional… has blown me away.” [100:21]
• Hosts become genuinely emotional reading these, reflecting on perspective and gratitude, especially when facing routine struggles.

7. Turkey Talk: PT6 Poll & Thanksgiving Plates

[106:09–117:50]

• Will and Sherm review the PT6 poll results on best way to cook a turkey:
  • 42% Smoked, 32% Deep Fried, 23% Baked
  • Passionate debate and “bit” roasting from Chef, defending classic baked turkey.
• Listeners describe unique regional/ethnic turkey/holiday dishes:
  • Example: Croatian PT6er’s plate—“Multiple years of picks: four turkeys, one goose, one duck.” [111:59]
• Will: “I kind of hate when people are like, Thanksgiving food is overrated. I love it, man.” [113:15]
• Discussion of their favorite side dishes and desserts:
  • Sherm: “Jalapeño cheese grits…holy, my mouth is watering.” [115:37]
  • Will: “Pecan pie…chocolate chip pecan pie with vanilla ice cream, that’s game over, bro.” [114:01]
  • Loving shoutouts to wives’ famous dinner rolls.

---

8. Reflections, Parenting Lessons & Heartfelt Gratitude

[120:04–126:48]

• Will’s lesson of the week via C.S. Lewis:
  • “Children are not a distraction from more important work. They are the most important work. In the end, the legacy that matters won’t be what you built in the world, it will be who you raised and whether they felt safe, seen, and loved in your presence.” [120:23]
  • Discussion about being present, shaping kids for the long term (not the next 30 seconds), delivering “pep talks” to their toddlers.
• Sherm reads a deeply moving, hand-written Thanksgiving message of thanks to wife Jill, daughter Scarlet, cohosts, and the PT6 community. [122:38–125:39]
  • “Hearing Scarlet’s cues as you wake her up with ‘good morning, my love’ is music to my soul... My favorite parts of my day are seeing your smile in the mornings and hearing your breaths at night grow long and slow... To PT6 and MT6, thank you for every post, story, call-in, write-in or comment that you leave... how lucky we are to be parents, how lucky we are to have a community that can build one another up...” [122:38 ff]
• Overflowing gratitude:
  • Will: “Happy Thanksgiving. I’m thankful for you...” [126:09ff]
  • Mutual appreciation all around, saluting fans, listeners, spouses.

---

9. Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• “It’s the best owning of all time… she’s gonna own you, man.” — Will [12:52] (on being a girl dad)
• “The moment that could have sent it to nuclear proportions—Scarlet having a hard time—never happened.” — Sherm [33:02] (on surviving the flight from hell)
• “My old man can’t go shopping on his own…this is a man who’s gotten lost in our own hometown because he took a wrong turn.” — Will [81:12]
• “Life might kick our ass, but a wise man once said: calm seas never made a skilled sailor. Some days our ass may be grass and wifey has the mower…but we can always use a clean shave. GOOD. Happy Thanksgiving.” — Sherm [125:36]

Yeah, he's out there running a video with Chris Papple and Classic Grape Shout out the boy Adam on the front lines with Papa Team 6.

[Sherman Young]

They put him on Ollie Pops. Like, all of his. So all the socials, everything. They collabed with them. Like, he's not even a content guy. He's just a dad out there.

[Derek]

I was able to shoot him. So we had to obviously get him his merch from the show because when you call into the show, you do get merch. And so texted him that link. And he. His text back to the phone started with, this may be automated, but I'm still sending this text. Which they're not automated. But he was like, this has been the funniest, like, moment of my life. Like, you guys, reposting the clip was the highlight of my week. Like, look how sick. This is the nicest guy. And then every comment underneath his Olipop video was, he looks exactly how he sounds. Which is hilarious.

[Sherman Young]

So some PT Sickos found his video. Where? In the comments.

[Derek]

Well, they found. So Ollie Pop had found him in a tweet because he came out and said, I am.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, that's right.

[Derek]

Lollipop found him. And then people underneath. And then when he posted his video, nollie Pop went off. People are like, yeah, that is him. Like, when I heard his voice, I envisioned that person.

[Sherman Young]

That's Adam from for the dad's podcast is what they were saying. That's hilarious.

[Will Compton]

It fired me up. Let's get into look, big weekends for us.

[Sherman Young]

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, Good.

[Will Compton]

We're a little worn down right now. Good. We have some good stories here from Sherm. He traveled over the weekend, was on the Runway for a couple hours. Few hours. Several. Several hours. Yeah. Sick household at the Compton with the Compton family.

[Sherman Young]

Right.

[Will Compton]

Ruth throwing up on us in the middle of the night. We'll get to a couple of these stories, but let's kick off with some with some good vibes.

[Sherman Young]

Yes.

[Will Compton]

I have some happy comments here from people. Steve Snyder on YouTube. Buddy, I just cracked my first classic grape ollipop look. It always comes back to ollipop, man. It's like the first time I heard Carrie Underwood sing on American Idol. Love the show, boys. Grateful to spend my Wednesdays with you guys. I quit my job to pursue my business full time around 4 years ago. I have a 6 year old boy and a 1 year old baby girl. Every morning I get the opportunity to get them ready and drop my son off at school and take my baby girl to childcare. Parentheses my parents house. That short time with them in the morning gets me so gassed for my work day. Thank you for bringing the PT6 community to life. Love you guys. Hashtag good. Shout out, Steve. And my question is Steve, because I'd love to see him comment under this video is at what point does his baby girl, who's 1, he has a son that's 6 years old.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

At what point does your daughter become number one over the boy? Because parents like to say there's no rankings in the family. Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

But every night it can change. You'll lay your head on the. You lay your head on the pillow. Scotty. Scotty. Kind of climbing the ranks on Rue right now. Rue's been hell for your boy. She's not in the dad, she's in the mama. You have those moments in the next day. Next day, Rue wraps you back right around her finger. This morning. This morning she had wet the Bed. Went in there to get her going. Yeah, she had wet the bed. And I'm trying to let her know this is a dead that special right here, Dad. I went to bed until he was 14 years old. There's nothing wrong with this.

[Sherman Young]

Welcome to the fam.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, but she's got her face in the pillow. She's mad at me. She wants it to be mama. And they're not dead, dad. She's yelling at me to get out of the room. Dad has stopped talking to me. I'm just trying to be like, hey, it's all good. We wet our pants. Wet your pants is cool. She sent me all the other stuff. I'm like, all right, okay, that's fine. You want to be mean to dad, Go ahead. I'll walk out of the room. She comes downstairs. She's kind of yelling at me about getting her some milk or doing, you know, cutting her bagel a certain way or whatever it is. She's chirping at Dada, and mama's letting her know, hey, you're kind of being mean to daddy this morning. Like, hey, look, I get it. You want to be mean to dad. That just. I'll tell you what. I'm not getting you milk. I'm not getting you milk when you talk to Dad. I like that. So if you want to change your tune, go ahead like that. Can I get some milk, please? I'm like, sure. So I get her the milk, and you can just tell it's like going through her head, like, yeah, I'm kind of getting after dad. She's kind of, like, smiling and leaning over to me, but I'm kind of playing a little hard to get. Yeah. Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

Kind of playing a little hard to get.

[Will Compton]

Like, you're not to work to get back in daddy's arms. But sure enough, you know, is dad had taken me to school day. Oh, it's not that I started to take you to school, but I tell you what, I'll be here when you get back from your. From your swim lesson. And then she's like, you about to leave? Yeah, yeah, I'm about to leave. And I have a hug, kiss, and three squeezes. We can do it two times. I can tell that's her trying to pursue me back. Okay, I've been a little bit mean to dad. Dad let's get back in his good graces. And sure enough, you just melt. They wrap around your finger. It's over with. She's the best.

[iHeart Podcast Announcer]

Best.

[Will Compton]

We're back on good terms.

[Derek]

So.

[Will Compton]

So going back To Steve and that question, I just have this. I have this perception that if you, If I were to have a son and you have a daughter, like knowing that I'm a girl dad right now and how much I absolutely am obsessed with my girls, it's like if I had a boy, he would almost immediately fall down on the totem pole forever. Like the daughter's number one in the family. And if not right out of the womb, it ha. It has to be the first moment she can say, dad, dad or dead, that I love you. And then it's. It's game over from there. So my question is, Steve, how quickly did your one year old become number one in your eyes? Over your boy? Would love to know that answer.

[Sherman Young]

Great question. And feel the exact same way. Glad that I had Scarlet first. I didn't. I did not expect that. And I don't know what it's like to have a son, but I guess like a lot of guys go into having their first kid and they want a boy. And yeah, looking at now, I'm like, oh, my gosh, I'm so lucky. I. I have a baby girl.

[Will Compton]

And when we were pregnant with our second one, I'm praying that it's a boy because I'm already ready to let him know he's number two right when he comes out, whether he can understand me or not. And you're just. He'll be number two forever.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Knowing if it was, if it was going to be a second girl, you're almost like thinking in your head like, this is going to be tough. Like, am I going to have enough? Am I going to have enough love that goes around? Because I know how obsessed I am with Rue. Like, am I going to be able to have that ability with Scotty or a second daughter? You find out very quickly. Yeah, it is that way. But you're playing all these games. I mean, I just hope it's a boy so that way he can just know straight out of the gate you'll be number two to your sister forever.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah. There's a great quote that I think we read on the show that was like, having a son is you teaching them to be a good man. And having a daughter is they are teaching you to how to be a good man.

[Will Compton]

That's a good one.

[Sherman Young]

We read that's a. From a PT6 or though that's right.

[Will Compton]

We got brain dam. I got brain damage up here. That one I've already forgotten. That would just hit me. Like, I heard it for the first time. Like, oh, Damn, that's a story. Well, you said that one from a comment.

[Sherman Young]

Will. You did say that. That was Will in everybody. Sorry, Chef.

[Chef]

I got a question for you guys and PT6 Nation. Specifically, probably to the. The. The dads of boys out there that have multiple boys. I feel like with daughters, will you put it where it's like they get favorite child goes day by day and whatnot. I feel like daughters, it's more of maybe like, oh, I did something really good at school or, oh, you know, I'm really well behaved. Whereas the boys on the top of the list is probably just the person who wasn't the. The biggest pain of the pain in the ass for the week.

[Will Compton]

Having like 100 because your daughter, like, it's. You're on their terms. Whether or not. Whether or not I want to admit it. It's like, I'll play these games and everything else because I'm like, Dan, you're kind of hurting my feelings right now. But the minute she accepts me back in or she tries to play a game, I'm like, yes.

[Sherman Young]

That's such a crazy thought. Just right now with how young Scarlett is.

[Will Compton]

Oh, yeah, bro. She's gonna own you, man. It's the best owning of all time.

[Sherman Young]

I. I could not be more looking more forward to it. I'll get to these comments. Very quick story was like my first interaction with Scarlett where she. I felt like I was being identified as data publicly of like, I handed her off to daycare workers. They go to sit down with Scarlett and she is tracking me to the daycare door the entire way and kind of has a look like, whoa, hold the phone. Where. Where are you going?

[Will Compton]

Yeah, you're my person.

[Sherman Young]

You're my person. At the door, I went, dad loves you.

[Derek]

He loves you.

[Sherman Young]

And she binky in. But she still, like, smiled with the passion. And I was like, oh, Dad, I needed that. That was really, like. It was incredible. Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Like, hey, when are you gonna make his Facebook official that I'm your dad? Yeah. In front of people, you're always real quiet when I pass you off. Like, when are you going to verbally commit to letting. Letting everybody else know, letting the public world know that I am your dad and you're proud of me.

[Sherman Young]

It's gonna happen. It's gonna happen, and I do need it. I. Okay. I have some fun comments as well. Kj. This is his actual username, and I believe we've read this one on the show KJ for the Dads PT Sicko on YouTube. He said, Taking a Dump and for the dads. Then down to the basement to work out bumping for the dads. Let's have a day, boys. And then Mark Antwin. Mark Antwen Baron on Spotify. He said at the 5:29. Mark listened to for the dads. On my way to the gym. Let's get it, boys. A lot of gym rats. And let's get it 6 setup this.

[Will Compton]

PT6 ready to go. And the episode drops. Whatever they're doing. Working out, driving to work in the car with the fam. Getting some seats switched over. I have one here from in my wife. She was beating me up about this last week. She's like, you need to just say whatever the word is, whether it's right, wrong, just own you messing it up. Because the moment you mess it up, you keep trying to figure out how. What's the correct way of saying it. Just going to say. Kenny Sig KE on Spotify. Celebrating my massive dad when driving home. Driving into work today. Got both boy seats switched over to mama's car and still got into work early. Prayers for my boy Willie. One shelf. We can't win them all. Hey. Shout out to you Kin Sig.

[Sherman Young]

Shout out to K. Can't.

[Will Compton]

He can't win them all.

[Sherman Young]

Shout out to Charo too. Giving you notes. I. I very recently was getting some notes from Jill as well on the show.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah. I love to hear that you're watching film as well.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. You got to be open to feedback. I'll get in the car. I'll get in the car with my wife. We got the kiddos in. We might be somewhere on the weekend when the. When the vehicle turns on. I'll see that the 4 the Dads episode's up and playing. I'll just kind of point like useless and no for the dance. I see. She's like, I listen every week.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

I gotta make sure your stories are, are, are, are exact.

[Sherman Young]

Yes.

[Will Compton]

Like you're off a lot of the time, but you're close for the most part.

[Sherman Young]

She. She recently DM Jill, by the way. She was listening to four of the dads and she was like, I feel. I feel like I need to reach out. We gotta connect, hang or something. Just from all these stories.

[Will Compton]

We gotta get the fans together.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

We're kind of fraudulent with our. For the dad's brand right now because we are boys. We're super close. Like you've been. You've been with my family, I've been with your family. We just haven't gotten all the families together.

[Sherman Young]

Well, it is. It's very busy season. In any line of work, the holidays are busy season.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

Like starting at October to, like, school has started. This has started. Holidays. It's busy season.

[Will Compton]

It's busy season. But I just think of all the belly laughs we'll be having when our wives are cooking. Checking. Yeah, checking our asses about what we talk about on this show.

[Sherman Young]

We'll go sit down on the couch and our daughters and wives will stand there and they'll just put us in our place and we'll have each other to just be like, amen.

[Will Compton]

They'll be sitting there hanging out, like, hey, make sure we take as many videos as possible of us doing essentially all the work while they sit there and scroll on X. Like, oh, dad, PT6. Look at them sitting on his ass. Oh, here's mine. Oh, Willie. One shelf over there in the corner. He's napping right now.

[Sherman Young]

That and it will be us. It will be us with the reading glasses just falling off of our face.

[Will Compton]

I got one here from Cole Jacobs. 1304 on YouTube. Great episode, boys. Will's reflection about time. Makes me think about one of my favorite movie quotes from Avengers. End game. Oh, just PT6, man. Like it just. You're pulling it from a superhero movie. This is what it makes me think of. Here's the quote. No amount of money ever bought a second of time. I can't wait to join PT6 in less than a month. Shout out, Cole Jacobs. We're gonna welcome you with open arms to the PT6 community.

[Sherman Young]

Cole Jacobs. Cheers, my friend. Cheers.

[Will Compton]

Is that the hot chocolate?

[Sherman Young]

That is the hot chocolate. Liquid Ivy, the liquid IV hot cocoa. And we'll tell you. We'll tell you a little more about that later on.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, we'll talk about that in the program. The hot chocolate is tasty.

[Sherman Young]

It rips.

[Will Compton]

I was a little skeptical to your last comment.

[Derek]

You read not that one, but the one before that. Will, a lot of people on X And in the YouTube comments curious as to why you only have one base for your.

[Will Compton]

I was thinking about addressing that in that comment, but I was just like, you know, let's just. I only saw a few. But now that you. Derek the Funkle over here, he bring it. Oh, Deke, he's bringing it back up. Why doesn't. We'll have car seats. Look, we have a couple. One goes in the nanny's car. And I just think to my head, like, hey, we'll be able to maneuver back and forth. It hasn't happened.

[Sherman Young]

Like, hey, and hey. Hey, here's the deal. We're gonna get. We're gonna get into just the weekend that I had. The weekend that Will had. Yeah.

[Will Compton]

It's not pocket watch.

[Sherman Young]

Oh yeah. I had a couple people DM me about the, the base. Yo, you gotta, you gotta get your boy right? I'm like, hey, he's, he's on the way bigger things. He's on to Iowa right now. Okay.

[Will Compton]

I'm thinking about the Omaha guys on Friday, 11am kickoff.

[Sherman Young]

Last thing my boy needs is a text about hey, you should get another base and you have a nuna. I confirmed. I looked in your card the other day. You have a noon.

[Will Compton]

There we go.

[Sherman Young]

So that debunked.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Haters are sick to hear that confirmation. Pocket watch once you got eight different car seats.

[Sherman Young]

I have.

[Will Compton]

We just said, why don't you have one each one. That'd be two, three.

[Sherman Young]

I have Lewis22 on YouTube. Absolute dad win to share for our daddy Daughter Day. I took my 6 year old daughter to a Disney themed pub quiz on a school night as she was so keen to go 14 other teams full of adults. 10:30pm Finish late night for her. But she embraced it. Just me and her. I just sit back with a beer and write down each and every answer she gives me. We finished in first place. She wiped the floor with them and won. £100 I believe is the money mark here. Let's go baby girl. PT6 since day one with you guys from the UK.

[Will Compton]

From the UK man.

[Sherman Young]

Good.

[Will Compton]

Good for the D International.

[Sherman Young]

Is the UK back on the pound? Are they off the euro?

[Chef]

No, they're on the pound. They're. They're not in the union anymore.

[Sherman Young]

Okay, cool. Yeah. I was like, I. I don't think I've ever seen that symbol.

[Chef]

A quick if the. If any Brits in here can. Do you guys still use euros if you're making a purchase somewhere in Europe. That's all I want to ask.

[Derek]

Please.

[Will Compton]

Great question from Seaman team six, the captain. Hey, any Brits listening right now? You guys still use the euro pound?

[Chef]

Like talk to us and how does that exchange? Does it do it through bank automatically or do you have to do like a third party? Thank you.

[Will Compton]

Look at that. For a man who just loves some beer in Tennessee. Volunteers football and many other things we don't know what else.

[Sherman Young]

What's the exchange rate from the pound to the dollar? And they say we, we have four brain cells between us. We got, we got a little spice, we got a little action.

[Chef]

A little bit about something. But Not a whole lot about nothing.

[Will Compton]

There you go. That's graphic right there.

[Sherman Young]

Come on. Yeah. Oh. One of our favorites, repeat offender Katie Yozen Hans. Lessons of the week hit home today. It's been a very busy season. My husband works 24 hour shifts at the fire station. I work full time from home. We just got some help with daycare. After a year of weightless, I am finally feeling like I can breathe again and really enjoy motherhood. That's awesome to hear, Katie. It's been tough to remember to be grateful for this life that I prayed for. But y' all always remind us to keep our heads up. I find myself saying good a lot during solo parenting days and now saying, I get to do this. I don't have to. Thanks to Derrick. She put several R's in there. Thanks for the reminder of this phase is tough, but short. Toddlers will test you. But being a parent is the best job in the world.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Shout out her. I do the whole full time job gig and trying to balance. And then if you're on a waiting list for daycare and you're trying to figure out the kids all the time, like, God, that is.

[Sherman Young]

These wait lists are crazy.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. It's not a fun stress with the marriage in the household because you're like, I gotta do this. Yes. Then you're trying to, like, put yourself in their shoes. It's kind of hard to put yourself in their shoes when you're just consumed in your own work and your own things that you got to do. It's like, dog. Can we just get ahead of this and figure out what we're going to be doing with the kids?

[Sherman Young]

Yeah. I believe Jill and I only got into our daycare when we did because two couples dropped out. God.

[Will Compton]

And it's like, thank God.

[Sherman Young]

And we barely got in because you grind.

[Will Compton]

I know Jilly Bean grinds.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

With nursing and everything else. But those are long shifts.

[Sherman Young]

Yes. But we did have a good, like, maternity paternity leave. Like, we had time to kill, you know?

[Will Compton]

But either way, even when you get back to work, like, it still weighs on you at some point. Especially again, when the priority list of, like, the couple, like, you and wifey, like, your time or your own social time, like, it kind of falls to the bottom of the list because you're trying to keep your head above water on working. And then the couple hours you have at home with the kids. And then once the kid goes down, if you get an hour, maybe two hours at most, for whether it's family dinner or catching up or hanging out, trying not to be on your phone. Just all the things going on externally in your life. And then once the kids go down, you're just both so exhausted. And then those days stack up. Then all of a sudden you're just. You're feeling this. You're three months, this restlessness. Yeah, we don't do shit. We've kind of lost who we are. Then you're kind of at each other's throat a little bit. So it's big time when you can get childcare and everything else taken up. And that feels like a weight off of her shoulders.

[Sherman Young]

Yes. That line stuck out to me, too. Of like I am now. I can now breathe and enjoy motherhood. That's a really good feeling. Yeah, that's a good feeling. So, Katie, awesome. Awesome to hear.

But yeah, I have some other like, comments that are separate. We can just. Dad. Comments that we can do later.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, we can hit, we can hit some of those. We can hit some of those later. I wanted to get into some storytelling. Like, how was your weekend?

[Sherman Young]

It.

[Will Compton]

I saw, I saw. I was following you on X. Go Shout. Go, go. Follow the boy. CFB memes. Right.

[Sherman Young]

Sherm Stew. Erscore2.

[Will Compton]

Okay.

[Sherman Young]

On Twitter and Instagram.

[Will Compton]

Sherm Stu. Erscore2.

[Sherman Young]

Yes, sir.

[Will Compton]

But I was kind of following that story where you're traveling. You're going to Texas. Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

Yes, sir.

[Will Compton]

And then you guys got stuck.

[Sherman Young]

We got stuck. We. I, I kind of bulleted everything down so I can do a run through and then we can just touch on whatever we want to touch on.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Tell your stories and we'll, we'll chime in whenever we have questions.

[Sherman Young]

Fabulous. Fabulous. As far as travel goes, this is my worst day of travel ever. So congratulations to that. We have now a top three. Just a lot of stress in general. We made it through. We survived. But let me break it down for you. Very first thing. Bottle broke on the plane. Bo.

[Will Compton]

Bottle broke.

[Sherman Young]

Bottle broke. Cap busted. And so water got everywhere because we had some pre made babas.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

Jill packed four bottles because she's an absolute savage. She is my shout out this week. I'll get into that. So we're working with four bottles and she has three emergency ones essentially. Hey, we'll never need three bottles. It's an hour 15 minute flight. We're good. Flight circles DFW for several hours because of the thunderstorms, about to run out of gas. So we had to put down in Houston and sit on the tarmac for three hours. We then finally got into the gate, refueled. Go back onto the tarmac, sit there for when you got to the game.

[Will Compton]

Refueled. Are you guys getting off the plane or you're having to stay on?

[Sherman Young]

No deplaning.

[Will Compton]

So you're trapped on this plane for about five hours now.

[Sherman Young]

For about five hours now. So now we have fed again. We've gone into our second bottle and count them. We had four to begin with. One popped and exploded.

[Will Compton]

But the emergency ball. You got three backups.

[Sherman Young]

We got backup. So we went one, two. So now. Oh, sorry. But we, we have, we have one left. We have one left. And to the dfw. To the dfw. So we refuel and we start heading to dfw. Thank God, because we Were we really were thinking if this takes any longer, like we're gonna either one start having to barter and trade with people on the plane plane. Because we heard some babies up in the front of the plane going ballistic. Like, so we got a lot of.

[Will Compton]

PT6s and MT6ers in there fighting for our lives.

[Sherman Young]

Yes.

[Derek]

Derek just would love to hear how Scarskar did during the three hours. Because me as a person, I'd be like, oh, I can put a movie on. Can't do that. So how was Scarsgard during the five hours or so there?

[Sherman Young]

I cannot. Like, this goes into my MT6 shout out, which I'm. I made it a new segment. Segment. Boom, there it is. MT6 shout out goes to Jill Young, happens to be my wife. Being an absolute savage and forced to be reckoned with when it comes to maternal instincts. She was grinding on that plane, just bouncing Scarlet. Holding Scarlet and shaking back and forth and singing songs and doing dances and trading her off to me. And now I'm playing. I'm playing thing trader back to Jill. Let's get Mickey Mouse clubhouse going now. Let's get that going. Let's diaper change her. She had two blowouts on the plane. Jill's not even. She's just operating it was it truly. It kind of felt like when you're on a team, you have that one, like just nuclear dude. That you're like, yeah, like, so glad they're on my team and not on the opponent. The opposing team. Like, this guy's awesome.

[Will Compton]

A sure. It's the story he's told so far is right now it seems more like the group project going on and she's just handling the group project a million percent. Cuz I was scared when I saw you post the one selfie and I think you had the headphones in.

[Sherman Young]

For dramatic effect.

[Will Compton]

I hear. Take it for a second. All right, go back. Two blowouts. Jill's doesn't even sweat. She's handling it. I'm consuming terminal list right now.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah. What? Honey, what is that? It's terminal list. Dark Wolf. Honey, have you not been listening to the podcast? What are you doing? No, but she. She also, like, really kind of owned the moment. Like, she hadn't seen Scarlet for a while. Like, as far as us together. And so she's really wanting to hold Scarlet, like do the chest strap and carry her through the airport instead of doing the stroller. So she was like. She was in her bag. She was honestly, like, kind of enjoying the moment, as terrible as it was. But as Far as Scarlet goes, I think it sums it up great with, like, an older man and his wife were passing by us, and he literally went, holy. There was a baby there the whole time. Like, he.

[Will Compton]

So she was quiet when all this is going down, too.

[Sherman Young]

The whole time she cried. She had 12 minute spell, and that was it.

[Will Compton]

It's a big dub, man.

[Sherman Young]

Humongous dub.

[Will Compton]

Did you change one of these blowouts? No, no, no, no, no. The couch. Badge. Blowout.

[Sherman Young]

Airplane badge.

[Will Compton]

Airplane blowout. Badge.

[Sherman Young]

I'm trying to think if I did in the airport, but no, she did. She's happy to do it. She's just like, I want to do it. Hey, can I sit on the aisle? Because I want to be able to, like, take her to the bathroom when she. Yeah, that sounds great.

[Will Compton]

Perfect for me. Say less.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, say less.

[Will Compton]

Let me know what you need me to do.

[Sherman Young]

What was I going to say? Oh, places we could have flown to instead of dfw, over that stretch of. From our house to Jill's mom's house that travel day, it took a total of 10 hours. We could have gone to Frankfurt. That's in Germany. London, Dublin, Iceland, Amsterdam, Madrid, Barcelona. Those are in Spain. Could have gone to Rome. Could have gone to Milan, Edinburgh, Copenhagen and Stockholm. Those are all places that we could have traveled to instead of DFW over that span of time.

[Will Compton]

How are the parents doing where the kids are screaming and stuff?

[Sherman Young]

From what I could see up at the front, some of the parents did, like, stand when we were in Houston, and we're just kind of in the aisle. Jill did that a little bit, but not too much. Like. Like, we got up with Scarlett in Houston, back, like, by the bathrooms. But Scarlet was like. She was really okay. She never once. We got Mickey. I mean, we kind of just said, screw it on the screen time. We're like, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, go.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

And Mickey Mouse is doing his thing. And I'm just holding spoiler right there. And she's just with her arms stretched out.

[Will Compton]

Just.

[Sherman Young]

Love in Mickey Mouse Clubhouse locked in.

[Will Compton]

That's a. Hey, that's a dub, man. Because that could have. That could have got south quick. Because you just never know. I've had a couple situations, whether it's Rue when she's younger, Scotty when we were flying to or from Canada, where Scotty was having a moment. I'm like, standing up in the aisle, just hitting, you know, just going back and forth while Charo is. Is trying to keep Rue. Whether it's drawing, doing a puzzle or something like that. Keeping them engaged. But they can just decide now's not the time.

[Sherman Young]

Time. Oh, yeah.

[Will Compton]

Like, I'm about to give you all 12 rounds.

[Sherman Young]

Scarlett. I mean, Scarlett was very easy on us. So it. It ended up, like all said and done. Was it a terrible travel day? Yes. But the part that could have sent it to nuclear proportions of Scarlett having a hard time never happened. We were going in town for a wedding, and I have my suits in a garment bag, and I left those in the flight attendant closet on the plane. Those are still missing. I went to up to DFW's lost and found. It wasn't the lost and found. It was just a whole catastrophe. It really was a catastrophe.

[Will Compton]

Whispering good while all these bad things are happening. Yeah, I know that that's a hard thing to do, but I feel like since you're. You kind of. You were doing the story on Twitter, I feel like it's almost a soft reminder. Like, okay, I'm letting pt6 now. I gotta lock the in.

[Sherman Young]

Yes. I. I definitely was trying my hardest to keep my cool. I. I will not lie. Like, they're. There was a part of me that I was in my own mental hell because we have a Black Friday video that we filmed, and I'm wanting to get that done before Black Friday and Thursday literally went up in flames. Because I was gonna edit once I, like, got there.

[Will Compton]

You're trying to get it done so that way you don't have this stuff on your mind throughout the weekend while you're spending time with friends and stuff like that.

[Sherman Young]

Exactly. And get. Get to Jill's mom's house. The one cord that you can't forget to pack to, like, edit on the road. Because I brought the comp. My Apple Mac studio power cord that. So I'm just like. I'm literally just in that moment. I sat there in silence for maybe 10 minutes in the guest bedroom. I was like, I just need to breathe. Just need to breathe and just. It's okay.

[Will Compton]

How'd the Black Friday video come out?

[Sherman Young]

It's not done yet.

[Will Compton]

Oh, it's not done yet.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah. Not even close. Not even close.

[Will Compton]

Willie Jobs. Yeah. The little clip you sent in the group chat was hilarious.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, it's so funny. And I can't wait to edit it. And I wait, like, to get my paws on it. But it sounds like Wednesday will be the day that I will just get it done. Put a little pin in it.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Well, glad Trip was good, though.

[Sherman Young]

Trip was good.

[Will Compton]

Texas.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, Texas was good. The wedding was really fun. That was Jill and I's, like, first official night without Scarlet. Oh, and, like, getting to go out. Her mom watched Scarlet.

[Will Compton]

Are you feeling young and free?

[Sherman Young]

Young and free. Had some drinks in me. Some espresso teenies. Yeah. Some ranch waters. Have y' all ever heard of the dueling pianos? They hired dueling pianos for the reception. It was one of the best wedding receptions I've ever been to. Do you know what dueling pianos is?

[Will Compton]

I've heard it. Okay.

[Sherman Young]

It's like a big bar scene thing where it's basically two guys that are extremely funny will, like, riff off of each other while they're playing covers of popular songs on pianos. Doesn't sound all that great.

[Will Compton]

I think it sounds like a vibe.

[Sherman Young]

Okay.

[Will Compton]

A couple good ones like that, to me, sounds like a vibe where they're just keeping juice alive throughout the entire event.

[Sherman Young]

And here's the kicker. Napkins that you put your song requests, and they're doing requests all night, and you're dropping the napkins on there, and these guys are, like, standing up, you know, going nuts.

[Will Compton]

Did you write a song on the napkin?

[Sherman Young]

I did Freakily League. No.

[Will Compton]

Pety Pablo, Freaka League.

[Sherman Young]

They did some hip hop covers.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

I. I did bust a move by Young mc.

[Will Compton]

Okay.

[Sherman Young]

They did not play it. I was not offended. I still had a really fun night, actually. Got the guy's card. I got the guy's card.

[Will Compton]

When he get you out to Nashville.

[Sherman Young]

Tennessee, I said, here's the deal. You guys travel.

[Will Compton]

We're going to throw a dueling Pianos event for PT6, one of our meetups.

[Sherman Young]

That'd be so much fun.

[Will Compton]

Just vibing on dueling pianos.

[Sherman Young]

Oh. But, yeah, that's. That's the tale you shout out parents.

[Will Compton]

Traveling with their kids, man.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Road ain't easy. You hope it goes smooth, but it gets choppy.

[Sherman Young]

And I do want to shout out all the PT6ers that were replying to my story. Lot of people jumping in the foxhole. One of which is, my dad hacked this week. Could not find his DM to save my life. But these are bags that you put inside of your bottle. So essentially, you can fill a bottle with formula, breast milk, whatever, feed baby, and then you dispense that bag that was inside the bottle. So no more traveling with four bottles. You just need one bottle with the bag in there. And they sell them on Amazon. I'll. I'll send you, like, a screenshot and stuff, Chef, for the Amazon product.

[Will Compton]

But I was a shout out.

[Sherman Young]

That is, like, the best dad hack of all time. So thank you, PT6.

[Will Compton]

Thank you, PT6.

[Sherman Young]

Thank you for the. Dad, like, I went on a. A rant there.

[Will Compton]

No, it's good you were traveling, bro. We got to hear the travel stories. Yeah, parents do it all the time.

[Sherman Young]

You have to. And God bless them.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Sick kiddos. That's the one. That. That's. That was my weekend. Our weekend. Rue. We did a sleepover on Friday night, and to where we did pizza, movie, Friday movie. We watch Wicked. Great movie. Great movie. Wicked was a great movie. And Rue stays all. Stays all night with. Sleeps over with me and Charo and dude, in the middle of the night, four in the morning, Rue all of a sudden gets up and starts projectile vomiting all over the place, on her pillow, on the bed. Oh, yeah, on Charo, Dad, I made it out alive. I survived the. The vomit. And then all of a sudden, Charles, like, I didn't think you were gonna wake up there for a second. Was kind of sleeping through it for a minute. Woke up, it was, what's going on? What's going on? Roof's throwing up everywhere. I was gotta get out of bed. What do we got to do? They were in there cleaning up, and then as they finish up, clean up. I'm letting Rue notes. All right. And everything like that. And I see a towel. So I grabbed the towel, and I'm like, all right, well, you know, let's just figure something out. And I. I forgot about. I. I go to lay the. The towel down on.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

I was like, what are you. What are you doing? Were you about to. Are you just gonna lay the towel down or just gonna sleep it? No, no. It's a stupid idea. And I'm just thinking it's a. It's. This is.

[Sherman Young]

We saw.

[Will Compton]

We've seen this before. This big daddy. Throw some newspapers on it and just keep it moving.

[Sherman Young]

What's so bad about that?

[Will Compton]

I got the. I got the towel. I'm about to lay it down. Hey, let's get back in bed. Let's get back to sleep. It's four in the morning. It's four in the morning.

[Sherman Young]

We're a little tired right now's down. I asked myself, am I laying on throw up? No, I'm laying on a towel. So what's it. So what's the.

[Will Compton]

She's like, that's not even on your side. I would have to be the one laying.

[Sherman Young]

It's on your side.

[Will Compton]

It's a fair point. Fair point. Well, we got. We got to change the sheets. I'm thinking, let's Just move up to the guest room or something.

[Sherman Young]

This is one of my.

[Will Compton]

Change the sheets. We got to get stuff. Laundry. We got to get stuff. Get in the washer. Her, like, again, she. Charles handled it. I was like, oh, God, we gotta. All right. R. Get off the bed. Mom wants to change the sheets and look over at Charo like, oh, do you want puke all over the sheets? Like, we gotta. We gotta watch.

[Sherman Young]

You want to clean the sheets. Your mom wants to clean the sheets. She's a psycho. She's a psychopath, honey. Can't believe she's doing it, but she wants.

[Will Compton]

You know, I got a guy brain. Like, let's just throw some towels down and get back in bed. And let's hope the smell doesn't keep us open. Awake.

[Sherman Young]

That's. That's Rue coming to y at 4:00 in the morning. That's one of my favorite memes on the end.

[Will Compton]

Oh, but, yeah. So Rue's throwing up. She's sick. She's got this little bug she got from school. Usually, the way it goes, as I've been told from the parents out there, Taylor was putting me on game. I'm here from other parents. It gets. Gets infiltrated in. The school gets carried home. The young one gets it. After the kids get it, mom gets it. And then I'm the sitting duck. I haven't. I haven't gotten sick yet. But on Sunday, Scotty ends up throwing up on herself in the crib. We wake up again. I don't know if it's like three in the morning. I don't know what time is with the weekend that we had going on with the lack of sleep. But Scotty ends up getting sick on Sunday to where we got to go up. We're cleaning her up. She's laying in bed with us. She kind of just stays awake from about five in the morning on. Couldn't get her back to sleep. You can kind of smell it in her hair. She needs a bath and stuff. Stuff. And you're just like these poor kids, dude. So my wife, you know, Saturday, we stream the game.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, God.

[Will Compton]

We stream the game on Saturday. So Rue's sick. You know, Friday night.

[Sherman Young]

Friday night.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, Friday night, Saturday morning. So Rue's sick.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, well.

[Will Compton]

And so we're having like a, you know, skipping ballet. Keep her home. She's not feeling good. She's not eating well. Yada, yada, yada, Charl. Like, as we're streaming Charles, like, I'm gonna get him outside. We're gonna go to the Go to the park or do a walk.

[Sherman Young]

Walk.

[Will Compton]

She goes to Percy Warner. Got this massive hill. All these stairs up at the tip top. Do you know what I'm talking about, Deke? Chef. Yeah. So we're at the top, and. Or not. We. Charles at the top of the kids. And Rue ends up projectile vomiting again. It's just Charles. She wanted to take Waffle, too. So it's Waffle, Mom, Rue, Scotty. And then all of a sudden, we was like, I don't feel too good. She's like, oh, hang on. And she just starts projectile vomiting all over everything.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, my God.

[Will Compton]

All over the. The stroller on Scotty. You know, I don't know if any guy. I'm sure Waffle got hit with some shrapnel.

[Sherman Young]

He probably.

[Will Compton]

She's. Yeah, she's at the. You know, Charles, like, getting clothes off her. It's a little cold outside. Like, trying to handle all this stuff at the top part of the stairs and wondering, like, how she can just get down because you have to, like, walk this, you know, like, say, a mile long path around to get back down. And she said this family was awesome to her. Like, comes up, hey, we'll help you out. They're trying to get everything carried down into the car. She gets to the car, left the stroller behind. I'm gonna get the car, pull it around. She gets to the car, realized the key, the stroller. She's just going through an absolute disaster. She's going through an absolute disaster. While I'm watching. While I'm watching. Mizzou, Oklahoma, with the boys and busting with the boys. Yeah. How's it going? We're having a great time. They cooked up some eggs, bacon, biscuits.

[Sherman Young]

We got mimosas.

[Will Compton]

Jack's cooking pancakes. Missouri's in a dog fight right now. I think they got a shot to cover here.

[Sherman Young]

Coach, friend of the show.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, I got him. Plus eight and a half on Sunday live moved down to five and a half. I really like where I'm at. That's good. I'm going through a disaster right now with the kiddos.

[Sherman Young]

And you're just.

[Will Compton]

You don't know what to say. Like, on the phone, you just feel guilty that you can't be there to help them out. You know, they're going through hell. Charles got her shirt off and everything because pukes all. You know. Yeah. Gotta wash, we gotta clean the stroller. Gotta get there. We got. I'm thinking, hey, what do you know? Here's a dad. Here's. Here's where dad comes in. I'll take the power wash of the stroller. I don't know if it needs that intense of a.

[Sherman Young]

That we love with the. The raccoon getting in the coffee. Yeah, yeah. Just spraying down the stroller.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, yeah. But yeah. So it was. It was. It was hell over the weekend. More so for the wife because again, it's like I can sleep through about an. I didn't think you were going to wake up there for a second when Ro is just spazz, you know, freaking out, feeling bad. She's puking everywhere. Get a towel on it. Let's get back to you.

[Sherman Young]

Sorry, sorry. You. You were asleep for, like, the first part of it, and I'm not judging you. I think it's funny. Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. I was asleep when apparently Rue woke up and was like, my tummy doesn't feel good. Like, let's get you. And then boom. It's going everywhere. It's all getting on Charo. It's all over the. Saw the photo. If you saw the photo. I posted that on X. You just vomited all over everywhere.

[Sherman Young]

Charo.

[Will Compton]

R pin. He got the R project on again. Scotty's okay at this point on Saturday. Then you go on a Saturday night, Huskers get their. Pushed in by Penn State. Then on Sunday, you got Scotty throwing up. Then yesterday on. What day is it right now? Tuesday. On Monday, Charl wakes up. She's not feeling good. She's got, like, the body aches. The. The. The, like cold sweats and stuff going on. No fever, but just feels like y. Our nanny, she's pregnant right now. We don't want to get her sick.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, my God.

[Will Compton]

Figure out child care while we're trying to cram in all. All of our stuff here with bus. And she's probably trying to. She's trying to figure out all of her work stuff. She feels like hell. Like, how do we maneuver all this? And I'm just thinking, I'm a sitting duck. It's going to be me next. But right now, Dad's got a strong. As of right now, Dad's got an immune system of steel.

[Chef]

There is a dad card you can play here. That's.

[Will Compton]

It's.

[Chef]

Within all of us. And it's the phrase, I don't have time to get stuck sick.

[Sherman Young]

My.

[Chef]

My father, John Gordon Hanning, has been using that for 20 years, and I've never seen him sick once in his life. Me and my little brother and my mother could be on our deathbed like a. Like a child in the Medieval era with, you know, the. Whatever swine flu was there.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, yeah, like.

[Chef]

And he'll go, no, I don't have time to get sick. Never got sick. And I've started doing it as of like last year. Barring one night last year in January, I had a fever and then got. Got a quick little 24 hour bug. Don't get sick. It works.

[Will Compton]

Hey, PT6. We don't got time to get sick.

[Sherman Young]

We don't have time to get sick. Knock on wood, though. And I would then say for just a bit of bus and lore very quickly. This has been something that has been in the back of my head since I started working here. I don't think I've ever seen an office not get sick as much as the busing with the boys office is. It's kind.

[Will Compton]

I know, cuz I. I honestly, I never say that. But I think about it.

[Sherman Young]

I think about it all the time. I'm like, it's almost weird. Is it just because this is a fun place to work at? So if we do feel shitty, we still come in.

[Will Compton]

Maybe it's because it's a little bit of a hell hole and we're kind of like forged in fire. You know what I mean?

[Sherman Young]

Sweating it out.

[Will Compton]

Sweating it out. Breathing in toxins at all times.

[Sherman Young]

Like, maybe. Maybe. But I think about it a lot. It's kind of crazy. Crazy. Yeah. We are kissing up here. Yeah. Taylor.

[Will Compton]

Because I think about. I'm like, we don't have a whole lot of depth. We got guys that fill in, do things. But God forbid if somebody got bedridden for a little bit.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah. It was really New Orleans with the oysters. That's like the only time that I've seen.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

Something crippling like that.

[Will Compton]

Because you didn't catch. You didn't catch it. New Orleans did not.

[Sherman Young]

Mitch and I did not go with y' all to the oyster scene because we were editing. Yeah. We lucked out.

[Chef]

I think there is something to say that, like, guys don't. It feels like guys, as you get older, you don't get sick as much. But when you do get sick, it is bad. Like if you get sick. Sick, it's death. Like if you get the flu or even like if you get coveted or something. Whereas, like, your significant other might be like, they might be sick and they're like, I don't feel great, but they're up and running, you know? Whereas if you catch it, it's like, God forbid you catch it.

[Will Compton]

You feel like you're going, I know. Because I feel like I have the mentality where I question everybody when they're say. They're saying sick. Because I feel like I don't get popped off and knock on wood. Knock on wood.

[Sherman Young]

Knock on wood. Jill, that. That's the one compliment that I love hearing from my wife is she was like, trimming is very tough when it comes to, like, being sick. Like, he will rough it. So when he's down and out, I'm like, okay, he's sick. And that's coming from a nurse. It's like, I see a lot of people kind of selling it.

[Will Compton]

Tapping out.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Tapping out early. We ain't got time to be sick. We don't got time to bleed.

[Sherman Young]

I guess so. So I will take that compliment.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. And I always see it, too, as opportunity. Like last night, I'm kind of wheeling and dealing in the kitchen, getting everything cleared away. You're just thinking, all right, little, you know, dad, time to put in some work here. Yeah, well, the wife can chill a little bit. Then I think to myself, what's going to happen here at bedtime? And I know, Charles, like, listen to this. Right now, she's probably maybe giggling, maybe being like, oh, what's Will going to say? And I'm just wondering to myself, am I going to hit double bedtime? I'm ready to go for double bedtime. But I'm wondering if she's going to make a move to do bedtime. Because I remember a time where I actually had. I caught Covid or something. I was sick when Rue was young. And I'm up there, I'm upstairs with a mask on, putting her to sleep. So there's a part of me wondering, like, what move is wifey gonna make here? Because I got one in the chamber, if I'd hit the double bedtime duty. And my head just wants you to know, you know, no, you're sick. I'm glad you're. You're on the couch. You're. You know, you want to take care of yourself. I do empathize with that. But I do want you to know, Willie C. When I had Covid, you had me up there. I was with the mask and putting. Still putting rude to sleep. That was only when we had one. Don't want to rub that one in your face. But she showed up. It was more like I was getting Scotty ready to go to bed because, again, she had been sick on Sunday, Monday or Sunday night. So Monday morning. So she was sick yesterday.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

And so feeling better today? Feeling better today. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She. She slept real good for her Monday morning nap. Slept like two hours. Slept another two hours in the afternoon. And Charles, just like, she's been tired. Like, you can tell. Like, yeah, her body's a little weak right now, and she's, like, craving kind of going to sleep and everything else. But last night she's up, you know, being Scottzilla good. And then getting her ready for bed. I'm like, okay, I'll try to hit this one on the dot, like in between the 6:57 o' clock range. Get her going in case I do need to be the guy for Rue. Because Rue is being a sweetheart with. With Scotty and being nice because she didn't have to go to school yesterday because she had the bug because it came from school. And you're not wanting to put her back the way it's getting passed around right now. So she got the chill. So she was in apparently the greatest of moods. Moods. Because she was, you know, not going to school. She's showing me everything she drew with chalk outside in the driveway, taking me through these obstacle courses. So she was in a great mood.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

But I'm kind of strategizing how this is going to go. Then Charo, once I came out with Scotty, I see Charles in the bedroom with Rue just being a superhero. I'm like, all right. Yeah. She exceeded. Not exceeded the expectations. But I'm like, all right, didn't have to. Didn't have to think. Or.

[Sherman Young]

We got a gamer here.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, we got a gamer here. Because I was ready to joke with her a little bit. Like, just so you know. And I have a photo right here. Here's daddy right now in Mask Lay dirt. Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

So what. Or we did. We got back on to. You were talking about the sick weekend. I. We got off on some subject. I wanted to make sure that was the full story.

[Will Compton]

Oh, yeah. That I don't know anymore.

[Sherman Young]

Okay, on Monday, wrap it up with.

[Will Compton]

A shout out to the. Hats off to the wifey.

[Sherman Young]

Hats off to the wifey.

[Will Compton]

You're on the other sideline. You're like, all right, good play call right there.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Because I was ready to get you.

[Sherman Young]

And you got further shots on. On Monday on live television. You been. You've been taking a lot of hits.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

You've been taking a lot of hits. Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Sick household. George Kittle, he didn't know it, but he's taken crazy shots of me on national television.

[Sherman Young]

He probably wouldn't have seen things.

[Will Compton]

I'm sure he still would have he's an Iowa guy. These Iowa guys are classless. He's trying to call me classless because I'm. I'm messaging him during the day of the game. I'm just letting him know I'm coming to you as a man, letting you know that Nebraska is going to stomp a mud hole in your ass. You go. You don't even respond to me. You go on national telev and call me out for all these things. He doesn't even know I got. I got sick kids and a wife at the house, and he's just out here taking shots at me. I'm trying to keep my head above water. I went against the Chiefs over the weekend, so when that fell through, I got all the Chiefs nation. I'm assuming Swifties as well.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Coming at your boy. Just taking a random stray again on Monday Night Football after George kittle has like 7. 8 receptions. 6. 7 receptions and, you know, volume was down. I was studying the games for the college football show. I'm trying to do the. For the dads prep, college and NFL. Like, I'm sitting there prepp. Trying to find some fun facts. All these rivalry games we have coming up this weekend, it was about 10:30 at night. I had the volume on 8, so the. The TV was on background. The game was over. I see Scott Van Pelt on. I enjoy me a little SVP action.

[Sherman Young]

Come on. As we all do.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. And I see George have this stat line. I'm good for the boy George. That's friend. He's a friend of the show. That's we're boys. And then all of a sudden, I just hear in the distance because again, volume was at ace. God. Van Pelt, I know you want to address your Nebraska friend here in a little bit. And I'm thinking, I kind of turn over, I drop the pen and look over at the tv. It's like one of those little sass memes where I'm like, is he talking about me? D Cavalry. I thought, yeah, me. And so I turn the volume up to about 32 and just sit there until the moment comes. And he just destroys. He goes. He cuts a great WWE promo.

[Sherman Young]

He did.

[Will Compton]

Oh. And I'm just sitting there just taking bullets, just trying to survive, like, all right, got to get through Tuesday.

[Sherman Young]

Maybe give him the opportunity to let him know that you got some sick kids at home. And maybe the tune changes.

[Will Compton]

I had a tweet written out using the sick kids and the wife. Like, who? People don't know a relationship. So I let you know, I, you know, put it in the dress. It's still sitting there cooking. But buddy, I got a sick wiping kids at home getting puked on all weekend and you want to take cowardly shots of me on national tv? A platform like espn? Who would do such a thing? It's disgusting.

[Sherman Young]

Yes, yes.

[Will Compton]

You don't know how it's going to play outside. You know what? I'm having an emotional reaction right now. Let me just simmer on this. Let me have a fun little video.

[Sherman Young]

Cooler heads prevail.

[Will Compton]

Just let him know, I tell you what, Nebraska beats their asses Friday. It's, it's on.

[Sherman Young]

It's on.

[Will Compton]

It's on. Well, just you guys at home to think about right now. Driving home for Thanksgiving or at Thanksgiving. Oscars win on Friday. Tune in to underscore Willie C. Underscore Will Compton on social media channels.

[Sherman Young]

Yes, I, I thought about texting you over this weekend and I apologize that I did not. But I was thinking about it. I had a text written out because I, I was in it. I saw that you were in it.

[Will Compton]

Look, PT6, you know, we know we're all band of brothers here. Yeah, I know you're in it with me whether or not I hear or we say it to each other because again, I was following your stuff on Social. I'm not like, oh, I, I think I did say, hey, this is what, what I, I sent you a text after I saw that you on the plane.

[Sherman Young]

Oh yeah, you told me to hang in there. And we were going back and forth about that.

[Will Compton]

This adversity is what creates character. Yes, it was something along those lines.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah. You were like, I mean, these are the moments that mold you, I think is what you said.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, you just know as a dad, just as a parent, when you're in the suck of traveling and you, something goes sideways and you're stuck in a terminal, you're sitting on the Runway for about five hours, you got a little kiddo who knows if they're on their best behavior or not, or if you're in a tough time. You just know how it can test you mentally. And so it's more of just giving you. I know you're having the fun tweets, but if you are thinking of something, this is where you gotta lock in. This where you gotta lock in, you gotta be there where, where whenever Jill needs you. It sounds like she was game planning. She was Ben Johnson out there dialing it up Williams.

[Sherman Young]

She was. And I think I took full advantage of it. But I also Think I, like, I could have done a better job on a serious note. Like I was, I was deep, deep in the depths of terminal list. No, not terminal list.

[Derek]

Just.

[Sherman Young]

Just sad boy vibes. Yeah, sad boy vibes.

[Will Compton]

Wind out of the sail.

[Sherman Young]

Wind out of the sale.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

Like I, I, I didn't quit or like throw in the towel or anything like that, but like I just had, I had to reanalyze. Yeah, I had to reanalyze. This could not have happened in a better week with Thanksgiving coming up.

[Will Compton]

Truly, dude, so much to be grateful for.

[Sherman Young]

So much to be grateful for. A good conversation with wifey of not like a relocking in but a, a, like just kind of opening your eyes to everything that you are grateful for, for the opportunities that you do have, etc of just, you know, and I, I was letting an eight hour flight little fiasco thing and forgetting the power cord and forgetting the suit and all these lost dad, lost dad, lost dad, lost. Like take me out of sweet moments of like my mom coming to my aid and like we're with Scarlett and she's got no socks or shoes on and we're feeding her in the old Navy as I'm picking out the replacement suits and then we're going to sports clips and I'm getting my haircut for the wedding and looks good. Thank you.

[Will Compton]

Haircut looks good.

[Sherman Young]

Thank you. Get my hair cut. And Scarlet's sitting there and one of the ladies that worked up there said, we need to get her an agent. She needs an agent because she's that cute of a baby. I was like, okay, yeah.

[Will Compton]

I was like, I know somebody, let's get her in a couple commercials.

[Sherman Young]

She was, she was like, I'm thinking pageants in the future. And in the back of my head, I was like, oh my gosh, I don't know.

[Will Compton]

It under an hour. Yeah, but go ahead.

[Sherman Young]

This was sent to us anonymously. They want me to read after who it's from. But this message is specifically for Will Compton. Will, does October 12 mean anything to. To you in particular?

[Will Compton]

That's where I laid eyes on the wifey.

[Sherman Young]

That's when you met wifey?

[Will Compton]

I believe so. October 12th, Dallas, Washington.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, really? That. That is awesome. But that is not that. That was awesome.

[Will Compton]

I have to check the game date, but I believe it was in October.

[Sherman Young]

That is. That also happens to be the birthday of the Duke of Bonaire. Your father reached out.

[Will Compton]

Check the game. Now I got to check the date of the game.

[Sherman Young]

Your father reached out to me.

[Will Compton]

Oh, you found the dm.

[Sherman Young]

I found the dm.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, go ahead.

[Sherman Young]

Hey, Sherm. Meant to send this a couple weeks ago. A question to surprise Will with on the next four the dads. Have you ever forgotten your dad's birthday? Birthday? Does October 12th mean anything to you? A monumental birthday of 62 years. Not a shout out. Nothing. Have fun with it. Lmao. Bill Compton, alias Duke of Bonaire. Big Daddy, Build the Legend.

[Will Compton]

Even worse, that date was October 27th.

[Sherman Young]

Hey. No, but you're in the. You're in the right Right month. Yeah, you're in the right month.

[Derek]

That's cool.

[Will Compton]

Listen, I forgot Old Bill's birthday.

[Sherman Young]

That's okay.

[Will Compton]

Two years in a row.

[Chef]

Oh.

[Sherman Young]

That'S okay. We're going to come back even harder in 2026. Piano party.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, I hated even wifey told me this year, like, hey, don't forget your dad's. Oh, I know, I know. It's my dad's birthday. Like, and then it just flee. It's like fleeting out of the brain. And then he hits the next day and you forget something. Oh, no.

[Sherman Young]

He told you. Yeah, okay, but that makes me feel a bit better.

[Will Compton]

I didn't he bust my ball like he bust my balls about it.

[Sherman Young]

I. I brought it up purely to laugh in it with you because I am like, calling the kettle black. I am so bad with birthdays. But you're. Dude, your dad, the Duke of Bonaire.

[Will Compton]

That's his Twitter. Duke of bt.

[Sherman Young]

The Duke of bt.

[Will Compton]

And prime dad, too. Like, he used. I forget what it is now. I think it's a picture of me and Cody sitting outside of my townhouse in Nebraska. But his picture for the longest time used to just be of his dog. Just dads and putting up photos. You know, just a profile photo is them and their dog or just their dog.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, it's. It's now him and his. And his dog.

[Will Compton]

Oh, and it's now him and his dog.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, it's. It's him and his dog. Now this is his.

[Will Compton]

Oh, yeah, that's right.

[Sherman Young]

That one's been up there now.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, that one's been for a while.

[Sherman Young]

The Duke of bt.

[Will Compton]

Duke of bt, bro.

[Sherman Young]

But just that that was the only DM that I really answered over the weekend. I did a poor job of answering DMS this weekend. Apologies, but when the Duke of Bonaire.

[Will Compton]

Dms.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah. And.

[Will Compton]

And what sucks is I thought I was nailing that date. I'm like, all right, let's see here. Does this. Does this ring a bell? Trying to just go back in the archives? I'm like, yeah, October is when something was. I thought it was gonna be something with wifey. That's why, of course, my old man's dead.

[Derek]

Dad, because you thought it was Chara, the Eminem or something.

[Will Compton]

Once I missed that, I'm like, okay, am I off? Is this the Atlanta game? I'm trying to think all these different. These different moments.

[Sherman Young]

Jill and I, two weeks out from our anniversary, realized that we were going to be going out of town the same week of our anniversary, and we both had no gift, nothing planned. Like, we both botched our second anniversary.

[Will Compton]

Well, at least you botched knew it. Both think it's you and not her.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, and.

[Will Compton]

Or think if you're dialed in and it's not her, I kind of got you right now.

[Sherman Young]

It was the realization, like, together of, like, oh, my God, we're two weeks out and November 18th is the two year. And I'm looking up because I want to do the date of, like, first year is paper. Second year is cotton. Third year is. You know, there's the gift things. And dude, I was just so bummed. And we. We did have a great moment, though, because she's working hard too. And we got the kid and just. Life is crazy fast. And I told her that I got her an anniversary gift the night of. I got her a pepperoni pizza with the pepperoni in the shape of the hearts. I said, I forgot to get you a card. She's like, that's okay. I got you a card, and I forgot to write in it. And we just had a. We had an anniversary night that was like, just kind of like a, hey, we're really, really busy and life is, like, chaotic. But, like, you are my teammate. I do love you.

Let's get back from our potty break.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, let's get back to the.

[Will Compton]

So we're having some banter last week about Terminalist and how great of a show it was. I got a couple here a comment from on Spotify and YouTube. The one on Spotify is. Is Tristan Navilla. Boys, the Terminalist series will blow you away. I was just. Just like Willie one shelf never read fiction books. I watched the show, found out it was based on a book and read the first three over one weekend. They are incredible. I'll tell you what, the Terminalist might get me out with these. With these fiction books.

[Sherman Young]

Wait, did he just. Really quick. He read three of the books in one weekend?

[Will Compton]

Yeah. And read the first three. Three over one weekend. They are incredible.

[Sherman Young]

Good Lord.

[Will Compton]

And it's someone Willie one shelf never read. I was just like, willie one shelf never read a fiction book. Another one from Emk Bert. My husband loves Terminal the Terminalist series. He's listened to all the books on Spotify and like you, it's his first fiction book he's ever read. Read. Sounds like each book gets better and better. So they have audio as well. Just shout out Terminal list.

[Sherman Young]

Have you ever done an audiobook book before?

[Will Compton]

Yeah, I've done the David Goggins one. Can't hurt Me. Yeah, I've done another one. It's like. It's from. I can't think of his name.

[Sherman Young]

I was just gonna say I really enjoy audiobooks. I had done my first job in Texas was filling out like purchase orders. It was the type where you could just have headphones in the entire. The entire time. And I did revisited the Harry Potter series and then did it. Stephen King's it on.

[Will Compton]

Oh, you did it.

[Sherman Young]

Did it. It was really good. Really good.

[Chef]

Random shout out. Green lights. Matthew McConaughey's self. It's his own autobiography.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, yeah.

[Chef]

Narrated by him in the audiobook. Highly recommend.

[Sherman Young]

I bet that's a.

[Will Compton]

From who?

[Sherman Young]

Listen.

[Chef]

Matthew McConaughey, the green light.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, yeah, I've heard that one's really good.

[Sherman Young]

Good.

[Chef]

It is very, very good.

[Will Compton]

Like the ones I have on right now in my books that I've hit. Principles for Success from Ray Dalio. I haven't listened to this one yet, but it's in my library. The Art of War. Let's see here. Day Trading Attention by Gary Vaynerchuk. Whenever that dropped. Your next five moves. Master The Art of Business Strategy by Patrick Paul Bet David. Patrick Bet David's a good one. Leadership Strategy and Tactics by Jocko Willink.

[Sherman Young]

Good, good.

[Will Compton]

And then this was a good one. This is a short one that I recommend. Excellent advice for living wisdom. I wish I'd known earlier. This is by Kevin Kelly. That's an audiobook that I have listened to a lot of good like phrases and one liners and just like rules for life life and things that kind of think about and chew on. Yeah, those are the audiobooks.

[Sherman Young]

I know that we brought up a reading list before, but I feel like that would be fun to, to explore and jump into more like a reading list and slash a.

[Will Compton]

Well, you gotta get one for the day. It's a reading list.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

And by the way, my, I didn't. My cracker cold one this week is going to go to my wife Charl. I know I've had a couple to her, but again, as a dad who feels guilty when he's not there in the trenches and puke is going to everywhere, she, she was the one that was getting puked on on Friday night. She was the one dealing with the puke on Saturday. She was the one noticing Scotty crying on the, on the monitor to get her, get her taken care of on Sunday. So my crack a cold one is to my beautiful wife Charl and Charles, Sweetheart, if you're listening, I love you. I love you.

[Sherman Young]

I love the out of you, Jill, because you also are my crack a cold one this week. The moving the seats closer to the bathroom because you're excited to change the dirty diapers on the plane. The embracing all the suck that we came across this weekend, it was truly, it was inspiring and I love you and thank you for just being a rock star.

[Will Compton]

So you love the out of her.

[Sherman Young]

And I love the out of you.

[Will Compton]

Essentially for the dads. Papa Team 6, our cracker cold one this week is 2 Milk Team 6. To the wild wives.

[Sherman Young]

To the wives.

[Will Compton]

To the moms.

[Sherman Young]

And crack A1 is brought to us by Liquid IV.

[Will Compton]

Yes.

[Sherman Young]

This show is sponsored by Liquid IV. We have Liquid IV hot cocoa mix in our mugs. This stuff legitimately slaps. I was shocked when I saw that they were doing hot cocoa and then tried it and was like, okay.

[Will Compton]

I was skeptical of the hot cocoa because I do love some hot cocoa. I love to get some marshmallows on top of it. But you crack this in with some, some hot, hot water, very tasty drink. And if you want cold, if you want a cold one Willie boy's go to is the cotton candy flavor just simply. Simply like that. We got a code for you.

[Sherman Young]

You're a big blue cotton candy. Correct. Doesn't matter.

[Will Compton]

[Sherman Young]

[Sherman Young]

That's why I talk like that. Just three something plus years in customer care, some medical sales, you know, sales rep. Where the hell is my blah blah blah. This. Hey, this is Sherman. So how are we doing?

[Will Compton]

I'm thinking back on the crack aol when we're setting us, we're setting ourselves up for a funny, a good laugh when our wives do come on the show because we, we talk about the suck that they're embracing. We love that you love doing that. Like you just wanting to change the diapers. Like embracing the suck with the puke. And they're just gonna, they're gonna have just targets on us ready to unload.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, oh yeah. There's no part of Jill that sees any type of comment that is like positive towards our show or towards myself that's like, oh, Sherman's such a fraud.

[Will Compton]

Like that.

[Sherman Young]

That's never like come up.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

In conversation or anything like that. But I'm sure there are so many moments where she has had to bite her tongue of like this. I wish you could. I wish you could have seen that this guy on Sunday was doing just a great job of representing PT6. And it's all deserved. I mean it's all deserved because we are not perfect. I even laughed when you said at the beginning, we're not experts. I was like, I wasn't one. This weekend can promise you that just.

[Will Compton]

A Couple of dads.

[Sherman Young]

We're a couple of dads trying to survive. Dude, speaking of a couple of dads, we have a couple of call ins from a couple of dads.

[Will Compton]

Now, just to remind everybody, if you want to be featured on the show, just calling the 601 the dads. It is our hotline and voicemail where you just, you just send us a voicemail. Whatever you're going through, maybe it's a high, maybe it's a low, maybe you're shouting out something. Whatever it is you call in the six on one, the dads, our boys Derek and Chef, break them down. We listen to a couple on each show.

[Sherman Young]

We send you free merch.

[Will Compton]

Send you free merch. Who we send a free merch to? This week?

[Sherman Young]

This week we are sending free free merch to Derek White and sweet father.

[Will Compton]

Oh, I wonder how he got picked out of the the entire list.

[Sherman Young]

Chef picked him.

[Will Compton]

Chef picked it out.

[Sherman Young]

Picked it out. But we have m. What's it, what's.

[Will Compton]

It called where you like, you're like hiring your family members?

[Sherman Young]

Nepotism.

[Will Compton]

Nepotism. A little bit of people. PT6. A little bit of nepotism.

[Sherman Young]

Favoritism. Who said that? Who was saying that?

[Will Compton]

Yeah, Papa Witten, Papa Compton. They're making it on the show. Show.

[Sherman Young]

That is true. We've had a lot of dads. Yeah, my dad actually wrote something out he wants me to read later.

[Will Compton]

I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

[Sherman Young]

I do. But we do have Papa Widen. He did try an olippy. He wanted to give us a full review. Okay, so here it goes. Hi, this is Chip Whin or Sherm likes to say, you know, chip OUA 12. Gotta have a number there. Hey, I watched the podcast and I noticed Talians were had a sponsor from oh, Lollipop. Now normally I'm a poppy drinker, but we were in the store the other day and I came upon two flavors that seemed really different. So I picked up a can of watermelon lime, which I haven't tried, and ridge rush, which I did try. And here is my explanation of the ridge rush. It is like throwing a handful of skittles on steroids into your mouth. And it was good. It was good. It was very good. But it was very different. And I just wanted to give my opinion on one flavor. Thanks, guys. You do a great job. Talk to you later. Bye, bro. When you said spoke to him, I just envisioned any dad in the world in the soda aisle and lowering the glasses and go, what the hell is that?

[Will Compton]

What it's what my son been talking about.

[Sherman Young]

Okay, hold on here. This is that Olipop stuff. What's the ridge? What? The ridge. That's different. And selecting it.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, I'll try it.

[Sherman Young]

What a legend. So, Chip. So Chip did enjoy it. It's just different.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. It seems like if I could break that down, head down. Some man that has a mature palate.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

And it's Skittles on steroids. Doesn't seem like the most enjoyable for my personal self. I'm assuming he was. That's kind of his take on it, too. Kids, they'd all love it. You're in your 20s, early 30s, you might like this.

[iHeart Podcast Announcer]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

But it seemed like maybe a little too much sugar for. For Papa Chip. Yeah, a little too much of a sugar feeling. By the way, Ollie, Pop, listen, I know they sponsor the show, but it's 2 to 5 grams of sugar per serving. But maybe it's just a flavor. Like this is. We're not going to say the brain. He's calling in saying other brains. Derek, what are we doing? Papa White. And what are we doing?

[Derek]

He picked two flavors, too, that we have never tried and. Or discussed.

[Will Compton]

Never heard of those flavors. They were different.

[Derek]

They were different.

[Will Compton]

And I spoke to him, I said.

[Derek]

Well, what about the other flavors that we do talk about in love? He's like, I'll get to those. But those were his flavors. And I don't know why he picked the flavor Ridge Rush, but I'm excited to go home for Thanksgiving and raid the fridge and try it.

[Will Compton]

Two get the ridge rush.

[Sherman Young]

Two things very quickly by. I. I could just envision showing my dad Mo Bamba or what's that other song that Nebraska Scrilla, and him just saying, hey, that's different. You know what the kids listen to? Oh, that's a little different. Okay. We did, too.

[Will Compton]

Was he shopping on his own? Is this a BT6? I can shop on his own. His own. He.

[Derek]

So he can. But they do it together. Very much so. But there's also times where, like, my dad's favorite time in the world was when him and my mom would go to Trader Joe's during COVID Because during COVID Trader Joe's only let like 10 people in the store. So the line went around. So my mom waited in the car. My dad went, stood in line, annoyed everyone around him to become friends with him, and then walked around the store with these people to shop. And it was like he made new friends every weekend.

[Sherman Young]

It's.

[Derek]

He's that type of guy. Who makes, like, I make friends with a brick wall because I learned from him. So he loves shopping because there's so many people who are strangers that he just hasn't met yet.

[Will Compton]

That is all time, man.

[Sherman Young]

That's a. That's a dad.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

That's a good.

[Will Compton]

My old man, he can't go shopping on his own. He get lost in the store. And I am not you. This is a man who's gotten lost in our own hometown because he took a wrong turn and went to, like, a hotel parking lot.

[Sherman Young]

He's the Duke.

[Will Compton]

He's the Duke of bt.

[Sherman Young]

He's.

[Will Compton]

How do I get out of here? Yeah, we've been you. And he's a lifer. He grew up in that county.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, really?

[Will Compton]

Yes.

[Sherman Young]

What county is it?

[Will Compton]

St. Francis County. Shout out the SFC.

[Sherman Young]

St. Francis.

[Will Compton]

But Delos Bontera makes up North County. Our high school.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Our school system. And he grew up there. And. Yeah. I'm not you. There's another time where we ate at Applebee's and he walked out the wrong door. And no, they had no clue where the car was.

[Sherman Young]

He walked out, like, the. To go side door.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. To go side door. He went to the bathroom, went out to go the. Go side door. And we're sitting in the car just laughing at my old man because he pulls out his phone. Next thing you know, he's calling my mom. Hold down.

[Sherman Young]

Hey, hold the phone. They just switched up everything. Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Where'd the.

[Sherman Young]

Where'd the highway go? Where is it? Did you check the other side of the. Of the Applebee's, honey?

[Will Compton]

No.

[Sherman Young]

Well, maybe, you know, walk around over there. Hey, don't. Hey, I got it. I got it.

[Will Compton]

No GPS system in my old man's head, bro. Sometimes I'm a victim of it as well. And I'm like, oh, this is where the old man's kicking in here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We. What's it called? The pharmacy. The burger spot here in Nashville. I took my parents there like. Like my first year when I was on the Titans. Parents came to visit, and we went and ate at the pharmacy and walked out. My dad was taking a while. He always. It's bathroom. It's always the bathroom. Goes to the bathroom, no matter what. At the end, we'll go out, get in the car, like, pack a dip in.

[Sherman Young]

Come on.

[Will Compton]

And kind of stand out, like, all right, dad, we're all ready to go. He's like, hang on a second. Gotta go to the bathroom. Goes back in the house. You know what I mean? Just Always takes his time. Let me go to the bathroom. And we were at the pharmacy and we got done. My mom and I walk out, we start walking. We're in a conversation show. We're kind of walking away from the pharmacy. My dad's in the bathroom. We get up to the top of the hill. If you come out of pharmacy, take a ride. And you're walking up the hill over there in East Nashville. And we started laughing. We're like, oh, we gotta wait for dad. And we're like, like, let's just stand up here and see what happens when.

[Sherman Young]

He comes out the door.

[Will Compton]

He walks out the door and he's. He's all walking around and he's like, well, pulls out his phone. Where'd you guys go? We're just like, look, right?

[Sherman Young]

Oh, I got you. All right, Nice to you. I. I actually did get this from my mom earlier today. This was at 12:30 today.

[Will Compton]

I'll tell you what, for the dads changing the alley Pop game right now, flavors too. Like, I'm dialed in on the couple clips. Classic grape, Classic grape and crisp apple. Those will change your life. I am excited to expand my range as a mine. Dive in some of these other flavors that people kind of shout out and mention.

[Sherman Young]

Cream soda.

[Will Compton]

I want to get my hands on that one. Next caller, next call.

[Will Compton]

Okay, Will, Shim.

[Derek]

How are we doing, boys?

[Will Compton]

Your boy Will calling in sham.

[Chef]

I gotta call in and tell myself.

[Will Compton]

Coach, who is now 17 weeks Australian. Of course, you know you can't have.

[Sherman Young]

The strawberries without sugar.

[Will Compton]

We were out of the right kind of figure apparently, and I put on the wrong kind of sugar. So now I am headed back from.

[Derek]

The grocery store with the right kind.

[Will Compton]

Of sugar to go ahead and hopefully right my wrong.

[Sherman Young]

We're in it.

[Will Compton]

I need all the help we can get.

[Derek]

I appreciate y' all for keeping up the support.

[Sherman Young]

Y' all take care. God bless him.

[Will Compton]

God bless him. Congratulations on the upcoming kiddo. Congratulations on the upcoming kiddo. His mind's everywhere. I. Let's just say he. He knows your name, Sherm. It ain't shim. He's got 17 week prego wife at home right now. And look, the wives are. They're just in a different head space. They're in a different head space when they're pregnant. They can't control the hormones that enter their body. They can't help. They don't want to lash out at you.

[Sherman Young]

Yes.

[Will Compton]

You just happen to be the guy. You just happen to be the person right in front of them when you don't put on the right sugar and you got to have the specific sugar.

[Sherman Young]

This call brought up two PTSD moments for me when Jill was pregnant. One, I never struggled with calling you. Taylor. Calling Taylor. Taylor, Will ever. Except when Jill. Late in Jill's pregnancy, I started realizing it. I was like, oh, my gosh, my brain's all over the place. So there's that.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

So Shim checked off the list. Jim. Jim. Secondly, Jill asked me. She was like eight months pregnant. She needed Krispy Kreme and my errands I was running for her. It ran long because the petsmart was closed, whatever it was. So I'm thinking, I'm coming home to now an asleep sleep. Jill. And for the PT sickos out there made the huge mistake of saying, oh, my wife's asleep. I'll skip the Krispy Kreme. Because she's asleep. There's no way she's awake. I come in, she is asleep. She hears me wrestling. I wake her up, and she goes, krispy Kreme. And I go, oh. I go, oh, honey, I thought you were gonna be asleep. And she literally went, go, go. I had to go to the Krispy Kreme. Came back to a sleeping wife again, woke her up, gave her her warm Krispy Kreme, and she was so happy. It's the happiest wifey of all time.

[Will Compton]

No, no, sweetie, Daddy ain't going back outside. No, no, you get out of here.

[Sherman Young]

Listen, go.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, you need to stop right now. I got a pillow in my hands. It's gonna go over your face, you don't stop telling me what to do. Hey, but honestly, honestly, to add on to that, it's always like, number one, you got to bend in the. The knee to the wife.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, yeah, Ben, don't break.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, Ben, don't break. Yeah, Ben, don't break, man. You gotta stay locked in, and you're in the trenches. You're gonna stay in the trenches. That's just the way it is.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

You gotta learn this is the good mentality. This is embracing the suck. But also the upside is you do like I always enjoy the Charl. Tell you, I'll even almost ask. Hey, do you need me to go get X, Y and Z? Because it's like, you get. You get out of the house, you get a little peace and quiet. Take a little trip. 5, 10, 10 minutes. Who knows? Maybe 20, 30 if you're lucky. Yeah. And you enjoy some. You enjoy some you time. Get the frustrations off your chest. Love that he called in. Use the dad hotline. Use the. For the dad's hotline. He was feeling something. Let's get off your chest. But yeah, you spin it the next time it's, hey, I can go down the road right now and get. We might be missing a greedy and I'm the first one hand up. You want me to run down the road right now, I go, I go get some more eggs, easy. Be back in 12 minutes.

[Sherman Young]

I'm big on that. Whenever it's like last second preparation stuff, Jill's getting Scarlet ready for something. Yeah, but we're also missing bacon. We Gotta get some bacon. Oh, well, when you get, you know, you're getting Scarlett ready, I'll go, you know, I'll snag the bacon. No, we're doing that together.

[Will Compton]

Get out of getting the kid ready. Go get you a little quick trip in.

[Sherman Young]

Gotta get the quick trip in.

[Will Compton]

We were doing. I was trying to sneak one in over the weekend. Our fireplace remote isn't working. Batteries are dead. So we need some AAA batteries. Sunday morning I tried, you know, pulling up. Hey, I can just go down the road and get some AAA batteries. Oh, you. You don't need to do that right now. I'm like, all right.

[Sherman Young]

Then I'm like, damn, I have felt that pain. I felt that pain. I like doing a little. A little trippy. I. We got some emails as well if we want to dive into emails. Do you have emails?

[Will Compton]

I do have some emails.

[Sherman Young]

I can go first.

[Will Compton]

The emails.

[Sherman Young]

The emails. I have Christian Ward. He says, what's up fellas? My name is Christian ward. I am 22 and from Archie, Missouri. And I am emailing from somewhere in the middle of the ocean. I recently joined PT6 as of October 20th, welcoming my son Gordon into the world. Congratulations. I've been a tier one busting with the boys listener for five years now. And for the dad's listener from the start, I'm just writing to share my story and how you guys in pt6 has helped me through some rough times. My situation's a little. But listening to you guys has helped me out a lot. Me and my wife found out we were going to be parents in March. We were so overjoyed. But we knew our journey would be a rough one because I am currently serving in the U.S. navy. Thank you for your service. And I left for deployment in June. Baby's due in March. He left in June. I was lucky enough to be able to come home for the birth, earning my Couch badge shout out and the first month of my son's life to support my wife and be there with my my son. Knowing I was going to have to leave soon to go back out on deployment. Leaving my month old son and wife was probably the hardest thing I have ever done. But for the dad's podcast has been helping me through missing these first few months just by hearing Will and Sherman and all other PT6ers that call in with stories of fatherhood. I still have three to four months out here away from my wife and child. But with PT6 and the for the Dads podcast, everybody, Wednesday I get to listen to Yalls stories And picture how sweet it is going to. How sweet it is going to be when I am reunited with my wife and son thinking three to four months away from home. Good. You guys truly are the best podcast out there. And I recommend y' all to all the dads I talk to while I'm out here experiencing the same thing as me. You guys inspire me to be great fathers like yourselves and keep kicking ass. That comes from Co Christian Ward. Christian, thank you for your service.

[Will Compton]

Christian. Thank you. Man. It's got the eyes a little glossed over because yeah, I can. I can only imagine how hard it was to kind of like leave the fam and just, you know, you're. You're more so like I've never been in the position that he's in and shout out to you thank you for your service. I'm assuming you're. You get some facetimes or some call ins. I don't know how often you get to talk to the wife to hear about the kid getting photos. I'm sure he's like a kid in a candy store. Like when he gets pictures of little baby girl. I know I'm that way. Anytime I'm on the road and a video or photos come in about him, I'm just over there. You're just grinning and smiling. You're wanting to be back home and just be around him. But I hope he's. What a. What a time to encourage some. Some writing or some thoughts like while you are away. So one day like when your little one gets older, you're able to share with them like how hard it was being on being deployed and, and doing your best. This is how dad. Dad was trying to communicate. Communicate to you like while I was gone, like with mama and everything else. Yeah. That would be tugs on the heartst a little bit.

[Sherman Young]

It does it. The only thing I thought when I first read it, Derek had given me these emails before to kind of go through was just the kind of. Not the sour grape attitude that I was having over the weekend, but just kind of like the general like last month's been like really difficult. But reading situations like that of like, man, this guy is serving for our country.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

And is even with his work wife and kid. And he's still there sitting there saying good and like writing in and counting down the days. And I'm like, man, who am I to like sit here and think that my situation may be difficult or it, I don't know, it just, it. It was a really good reminder to like stay the course yes.

[Derek]

The way that happens too. And this is not like a, a dunker. That dude would kill for five hours on a tarmac with his wife. And it's, it's not a D or anything. When you think of those types of perspective, it's, it's really crazy. I mean I need to too. But this dude like just saying that our pod's helping him with his situation. Yes, crazy. But yeah, I'm with you on that one.

[Sherman Young]

No, I, I truly that it was a who am I moment of like, man, I need to count my blessings. Way more. Way more.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

But yeah. You have an email as well.

[Will Compton]

I do, I do. This is from Jeremy Schaefer. What's up boys? This is Jeremy. I'm a fireman in the metro Atlanta area. Currently it's 8am Coming off shift and trying to haul ass home to make our 12 week ultrasound appointments to find out the gender. Early this morning, me and the crew had three separate wood fires after midnight, making it five woods fires for the shift. Been up since 3am had to stay on the scene past the shift or had to stay on the scene past shift change. Nothing's going smooth. Trying to get things wrapped up and cleaned up so I can leave work. I love the, the chaos at work, but all the fire guys know the chaos and the level of anger. And the level of anger. Running calls after midnight trying to bust my ass to make this 9:30 appointment. All I can think is good. Which reminded me of the new episode that's up. Turned it on on the way home. Already changed the mood for your boy. Embrace the suck, fellas. Love what y' all are doing and makes me excited and feel prepared for our little one coming in June. Keep up the good work. Shout out you Jeremy. Being on the front lines and hustling, straining to make the appointment because you know how important it is with wifey too. Like you guys both going through it together. You making it a priority whether or not you sit there and think about, man, I hope she's kind of thinking about my situation or I hope she understands how much I'm busting my balls to be here. Yeah. Shout out to you for being able to ship that perspective. I know it's an absolute grind. It's going to constantly be a grind. But thank you for writing in. Thank you for writing in. Taking time, getting that off your chest. Shout out for all you do being on the front lines with the fire department.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah. Talk about another profession.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

I mean very, very humbling in like a, a good way of Just getting to hear other people's. I'll talk about it in my lesson of the week. But just very thankful for the show. Very thankful that we have men like that writing into our show. That's really cool. Thankful. Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Thankful for the show, the community, writing, knowing what he's going through, but feeling like he's pulling stuff from our episode.

[Sherman Young]

That's a crazy topic.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. To shift his perspective. It's a constant reminder that whatever story you have going on, shift in perspective, there's always going to be a story that makes you feel a certain way. Like the five hours on the tarmac or whatever it is, it's going to make you feel a certain way that I need to constantly grab a hold and lean into gratitude all the time. Because there's so many worse situations going on than what we're all going through.

[Sherman Young]

Yes.

[Will Compton]

And that's everybody, too. Like, firemen will hear something, a different story. Like, why am I bitching about staying past my shift? Or I've been up since 3am When I just heard this story. My man over there, even across seas, like Shout out him service and everything else, I'm sure he's heard a story in his platoon, whatever it is that makes him feel so appreciative and give him a perspective of the work he's doing and how he's getting to do X, Y and Z. Or, man, I got to go home for a month. And this dude, he's been working through, he hasn't gotten to go home, home in years. I don't know. But there's always a story that kind of helps us with. With our own perspective and whatever story we think we're living. And then you hear somebody else, it's like, man, I need to count my blessings a lot more. Especially, you know, today, like, people traveling home. You're going home for Thanksgiving. Maybe we're thinking about that extended family member or that family member that you haven't had the best relationship with. We were hearing about it with Mitch on the bus. He was like, I just. He hopes to have a better relationship with his brother. And people are kind of going through whatever conversation could come about this weekend and I at the dinner table and hoping that they can mend it or get closer. Maybe you feel 10 toes down or digging your heels in about something you feel towards somebody else. What a moment to kind of think about, why am I so bothered by everything? Like getting to spend time with family, getting to spend time with friends. Maybe I need to shift just a little bit to see if I can bridge whatever gap it is. Thanksgiving is always a great reminder to kind of reflect on the year and reflect on all the things that you are are thankful for.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah. It's been hitting at the perfect moment for me, to be completely honest. It's. It's been. I'm very excited for Thanksgiving and just the idea around it.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. And the time off.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah. And the time. Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Couple weeks, people getting to listen, like whether they're traveling or whatever the case may be. And just knowing like you been grinding this year. You have like this four day weekend or you get to watch some ball, you get to eat some food, spend time with family and friends, maybe take a little nap. Y stay up a little later, watch that movie, watch that TV show, have a couple drinks.

[Sherman Young]

Have a couple drinks.

[Chef]

Go watch the Vs beat the out of Andy.

[Will Compton]

Go watch the Vs beat the out of Andy. I do got Vandy this week. Pavia, we're coming for you. N Pavia. Let's see if he can walk into kneeling and take down the volunteers.

[Sherman Young]

Talking real loud on the bus. See you talk like that at the Knoxville. I am very excited for that game though. That'll be a fun.

[Chef]

I'm glad I'm going.

[Sherman Young]

Yes, that'll be a fun game. I. I got one more email and do you have one more?

[Will Compton]

I do not.

[Sherman Young]

Okay, I could do this last one and then we can go into lesson of the week.

[Will Compton]

Got lesson of the week before lesson of the week, though. We did that poll last week on Best way pt. 6. Best way to cook a turkey poll. Yes. So hit the email. We'll do some turkey talk, we'll do some and then we'll end it with a lesson.

[Sherman Young]

This one is anonymous. Hey, Sherman. Will, I'm a girl in my mid-20s and definitely not your typical demographic, but I wanted to reach out and let both of you know just how far your influence reaches. I found for the dads about a month ago and quickly binged every episode. To say that you guys have made a difference in my life is an understatement. I know it sounds cheesy, but y' all help me regain confidence. Confidence that there are great men out there who want to be present. Intentional dads and partners. I've dealt with abuse in past relationships and have come from a background where masculinity and fatherhood were approached dot, dot, dot, differently. But hearing you two be so intentional, honest and vulnerable has blown me away. Y' all hold a gentleness and strength together. Y' all hold gentleness and strength together. Instead of treating them like opposites, you show that real masculinity includes presence, care, and the willingness to grow. That husbands and dads can be soft and loving and still be the man of the house. You're showing everyone, every young woman, what good men look like. I also just listened to the most recent episode of busing with the boys with Robert Gallery. It was another fantastic conversation. Just like every busing episode and every for the dead dad's episode. Y' all are helping everyone who watches by highlighting real problems, real stories and real emotions from a place of non judgment. And on top of everything, you always bring it back down to earth with humor, humility, honesty and empathy. Just need to say that all of y' all at Busin are changing the world. So truly, thank you. You've made more of a difference than you probably realize. Keep it up, y'. All. We appreciate what, what you're doing. That comes from anonymous email. I. I wanted to make sure that we read that one specifically for the bottom line of just like for everyone at busin. Because I know that this part of the year, this like football season, the grind, it really can. It can weigh on you. And I know for listeners at home that feel the same way. Um, but yeah, I. I just think that we've brought together a community of really intentional people that are also really fun and have a good sense of humor, that want to be incredible parents. And I think that's really freaking cool and just a good reminder of like, just what. What we have an opportunity to do every week. It's really, really sick.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. That is one of the kindest write ins I think I've gotten to hear.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Being read, you say, like very intentional, very fun, have humor, but also like very flawed. Like, there are a lot of times where I'll be driving home, wandering in my head, man, do I share too much? Do I say too much here? Do I have. Do I take this too lightly? Do I. Do I feel like I. Whatever point I was trying to make, did I. Did I bring it home? Did I say it in a right way? Like you have all these questions because we're all very imperfect and have all these imperfections to where hearing that is. Is awesome. Again, it gives perspective and gratitude and did it. If it's changing a few people, you feel like you're doing. You're doing what you want to do. Especially with a brand like this, a show like this, a show like busing.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

But speaking for, just speaking on the, for the dad's front, like, that's all we want to do is just know that, like it, it's sucky. A lot of times it's great. A lot of times there's a lot of fun. Like things like you take it serious, you take it lightly, you communicate, you don't communicate. Like, let's talk about these flaws. Let's talk about where I fell short. Let's try and feel comfortable doing it. See if there's a lesson I got from it or something that my wife taught me or somebody else taught me and just share everything that I feel like I'm trying to do in this journey of fatherhood. Because you grow up in situations and I'm not saying mine was bad by any means, but you feel like as you're growing up there's certain ways to do everything and then you get open up and your mind gets expanded to challenging certain thoughts here with myself or challenging certain thoughts there if I want to be masculine. I kind of like this idea right here. It feels a little soft in my head because I grew up in my own opinion, pridefully, like a certain way and I carry myself a certain way. But it seems like a little softers or something that connects the dots in my head to where it's like, okay, I'm actually on board with this idea. I see why. I see the explanation from it versus just like being narrow minded and thinking, no, I'm going to do it this way. I don't care what so and so says. So that was really cool to listen to. Thank you to the anonymous person who wrote that in.

[Sherman Young]

Yes, thank you very much. I've been told that I say this too much on the show, but it is really cool to read stuff like that. I feel very undeserving of reading stuff like that. And I think that there are a lot of dads out there that maybe feel the same way whenever they're, you know, getting there, whatever. You're a great dad, you do a great job. And maybe they feel undeserving of it, but just you are a great dad. There are great dads out there and you're doing a great job. So I don't know, I was just trying to land the. Land the plane. I got a little lost.

[Derek]

Lost.

[Sherman Young]

But you're a good dad.

[Will Compton]

I appreciate that.

[Sherman Young]

I walked to the wrong side of.

[Will Compton]

The house, the wrong side of the aisle. Where's the car?

[Sherman Young]

I said, I thought we were on the pharmacy side. What is this? Says grocery. You know, honey, we did park in front of the grocery side. Well then we're a good dad, we're good.

[Will Compton]

You're a good dad too, man.

[Sherman Young]

But. Yeah.

[Will Compton]

And I'm thankful for you, Derek. I'm thankful for you, Chef. I'm thankful.

[Sherman Young]

Thankful for you.

[Will Compton]

Like, Happy Thanksgiving. We're gonna get into the lesson, but Happy Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving. Give me some turkey.

[Sherman Young]

That was a turkey. I was so gravy.

[Will Compton]

You call it dressing or stuffing.

[Sherman Young]

What? Hey, what are the PT6ers talking about?

[Will Compton]

Way to cook a turkey. The YouTube post. We put a poll up. 145, 000 people. People participated in this poll.

[Sherman Young]

Wait, really?

[Will Compton]

One hundred and forty five deep. Relax.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, relax. Come on. That's a. That's a long running bit that I just fell for.

[Will Compton]

Oh, yeah. We average about 8, 000 views. 10,000 on a good week. 145. Are you being serious?

[Sherman Young]

I was still on the other side of the apple, bitch.

[Will Compton]

You're a great dad.

[Sherman Young]

You know what, though? You're a great.

[Will Compton]

Like that good. I don't know if you're beating yourself up right now, but you are a good father. Oh, man. But the. The poll was deep fried, baked, or smoked or other. You can leave a comment on our latest episode to let us know. The poll results are in. 145,000. Yeah. Thousand. 42% smoked.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

42% smoked. So the Smoke Boys win. 32% deep fried and 23% baked. Oh, Chef. Chef.

[Chef]

Punching air tells me enough that people don't know how to. And for all. All of y' all who do not believe in the traditional way, the way that our founding fathers saw when they said, let's make turkey on things Thanksgiving, Mine's going into a salt brain tonight, and I'm going to show you guys what a good turkey looks like.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Chef]

And maybe I'll convert a few.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, there you go.

[Will Compton]

So you believe you. You. You want to stick to your guns. You want to believe in staying narrow minded about our forefathers and tradition. You believe in slavery. Just make it insanely awkward. That'll be a conversation at a Thanksgiving dinner table. You talk about founding fathers, slavery. What you. What do you say with that?

[Sherman Young]

The entire family that was sitting there watching us on Thanksgiving Day, they all.

[Will Compton]

Just went, whoa, man. He just wants to. He just wants to bake a turkey.

[Sherman Young]

Hey, what's this guy doing?

[Will Compton]

Oh, you want to keep mom in the kitchen the whole time that you believe in gender roles, too?

[Chef]

We're a male cookie. The Hanning house, a male cooking household.

[Derek]

We.

[Chef]

We break the norm.

[Will Compton]

I'm just so your mom ain't good Enough.

[Chef]

I really dug myself. Oh, I will be making a video on how to cook a turkey the right way. And here's what I'll say. I've done deep fried. Deep fried, solid. I've done smoked. Really didn't like the smoked, but I blame the old man's Cajun seasoning on that. And also the. The Wednesday. The Wednesday night, seeing all your friends from college. It's bad combo.

[Sherman Young]

True, true. Also, just a quick tip out there. I'm sure you probably have more on the smoking.

[Will Compton]

Oh, there is a comment right here. A post on the best way to cook turkey. This comment comes in from Taylor Souther792 Taylor Southern. Taylor Souther. I'm sorry, sweetheart. I just. I don't know these letters. Had a deep fry for the first time last year and buddy, I do not eat turkey. Famously hate it. But fried is another beast. I can't get enough and comments go on. You got pessimistic.

[Sherman Young]

Yes sir.

[Will Compton]

I'm sure others are great, but we have been smoking them every year since we got the smoker and have no plans of going back. Gotta brine it dry or wet. Two before for smoking. This one from Paul. And don't forget to spatchcock it.

[Sherman Young]

Spatchcock it.

[Will Compton]

Don't forget the spatchcock. It cuts that smoking time in half.

[Sherman Young]

It does.

[Will Compton]

Big dinos. Injecting a butter marinade is awesome too. Blake, City turkey roll. Chris. Chris on the grill. Ek. I don't like turkey. Strong opinions. We couldn't find one in the PT6 community. Not one. Talking about bake Chef.

[Sherman Young]

I just want. I want a clip of just out of context. Will reading comments because that I don't like turkey came out. You're just reading I don't like turkey. Like, all right. This is great. God, that was funny.

[Will Compton]

Some good turkey talk.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, I. I do have a followup. Oh, speaking of Charo, I'm just going to go into this one. Very brave. This comes from Yozo. Ur. He's from Croatia. Hey, Willie. One shelf and fat. Stafford. This is Croatian style. Multiple years of picks. The one year, four turkeys, one goose and one one duck. It gives the crispy skin and smoke taste while roasting. And our friend Yozo or Jozo provided some pictures that I'm sure we'll put on the screen as well. But it looks like he's just got charcoal, like a charcoal bed or maybe even some wood logs and they're just doing a slow roast. That's a man.

[Will Compton]

Right. Right there, Chef.

[Sherman Young]

A goose. A duck.

[Chef]

Impressive.

[Sherman Young]

And four turkeys. He.

[Will Compton]

I bet he'd dig a hole and roast a turkey.

[Chef]

I'd dig a hole in roasted turkey.

[Sherman Young]

They do it in style.

[Will Compton]

Why we get a video, you and Delaney, you out on Delaney's farm.

[Chef]

I did call Delaney. Delaney had stuff to do.

[Will Compton]

Okay, so he called you back?

[Chef]

Yeah, he did.

[Will Compton]

Love that.

[Sherman Young]

He did.

[Chef]

He called me back. I felt. I felt really bad because he was on set for something, and I was like, oh, man.

[Will Compton]

Hey, man, you mind if I go out to your farm and dig a hole and roast a turkey? Turkey boys are challenging me at 4 the dads right now.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, my gosh. Yes. But that. That was our turkey talk. I also. What's on your plate? Was a question that was thrown around. I can deal really brief. What's on my plate?

[Will Compton]

It kind of can't go wrong in a lot of ways at Thanksgiving. Like, turkey, ham, doesn't matter. Throw both on the plate.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Stuffing, corn, some type of corn dish. You got the mashed potatoes. You got the gravy. You're mixing it all together. That you just. To me, in my opinion, you got some great dinner rolls. My wife makes incredible fat. Full filled with love dinner rolls, bro.

[Sherman Young]

Is she doing the yeast and all that herself?

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

Okay, Charles.

[Will Compton]

She knocks it down.

[Sherman Young]

Okay.

[Will Compton]

And that's. That's a Thanksgiving dish. I. I kind of hate when people are, like, all Thanksgiving and food and stuff. Overrated, blah, blah. I love it, man.

[Sherman Young]

I love it.

[Will Compton]

I love the feeling of waking up, kind of starving yourself a little bit, salivating. When's it gonna be ready? I smell the turkey. I smell this and that and God. Mixing it all together, getting some rolls and scooping it up in there. Maybe some cranberry sauce. I've recently came around a cranberry sauce. Not that I didn't like. I just never really tried it.

[Sherman Young]

When you get it, when you get a good one, it's. It's a game changer for sure.

[Chef]

Dessert.

[Sherman Young]

I'd love some dessert. I love some pecan pie. If it's chocolate chip pecan pie with vanilla ice cream, that's. That's game over, bro.

[Will Compton]

Charl made this. Over the weekend. We did a Thanksgiving at her parents because her parents are going back in the northeast for Thanksgiving. So we did a little Thanksgiving on Sunday over at Lola and Opa's house. And shout out. Charl made this pie where it was like pecan brown sugar cookie pie where it had, like, chocolate chips in it, dude. Oh, my God.

[Sherman Young]

I mean, you get a scoop of vanilla ice Cream with that and like whatever you believe in Jesus coming back, the end of the world.

[Will Compton]

What?

[Sherman Young]

Like, you can take me. Yeah, I'm good.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, I'm good. You've seen the light.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Pecan pie to me is number one. Pecan pie to me is a good peach cobbler.

[Sherman Young]

I'm very.

[Will Compton]

Potato pie.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Chef]

Chocolate. It's a chocolate or pumpkin pie.

[Will Compton]

I do like chocolate. I. I like chocolate. I'll eat pumpkin pie with some whipped cream just to be in the theme of Thanksgiving. But if I got all those pies sitting there, I'm going to the pecan first. Pecan, pecan pean, little pean, whatever you call it.

[Sherman Young]

I do have some. These are some non traditional things that my mom likes to cook on Thanksgiving in addition to all your traditional stuff. So if any of these strike anybody's fancy, you can throw it into the roast. Notation. These are easy things to throw in. Beef tenderloin. It's a little pricey, but when done right, it pairs very well with the turkey, I think, and all the other additional like traditional sides. The fixings, the fixings. Jalapeno cheese grits. So freaking good.

[Will Compton]

That sounds great.

[Sherman Young]

They're. Oh my God. When you, you have like your traditional stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy with the jalapeno cheese grits. Dude. Holy. My mouth is watering. She also does sweet potatoes, yams and carrots slices all those, puts them in a little baking tray. You just slap some olive oil and salt and pepper and you're done. Stick that in the oven. So good, dude.

[Will Compton]

There's some marshmallows on top.

[iHeart Podcast Announcer]

O.

[Sherman Young]

If you. Yeah, if you're a big marshmallow guy. That would pair very well with that. That would pair very well.

[Will Compton]

Keep talking to me.

[Sherman Young]

Something she does that is so random, but I have loved it every year is she just gets this thick cut bacon and just does some oven baked bacon and just has it sitting there on a plate next to everything else. And I don't know why, but the bacon's always the first one to go. It's always the first one.

[Will Compton]

Bacon is just so easy to grab and get something in while you're in line. You know what I mean? Bacon comes out, you grab it, you eat it. It feels like it's, you know, this doesn't count.

[Sherman Young]

You would never. It's almost like she knows that I'm going to use it as a utensil each year for my jalapeno cheese grits. I'm using the bacon too, dude. And then she makes A great salad. It's just arugula, tomatoes, avocado, a little bit of pesto, tiny bit of pesto, a little bit of parmesan, and a nice little lemon vinaigrette.

[Will Compton]

Dude. And give me some deviled eggs. Ooh, deviled eggs. I feel like you hate him. I love deviled eggs, bro.

[Sherman Young]

Done well. Game changer. When you.

[Will Compton]

You can tell he's from Texas. You know why? Because he loves the comment, if done well, it's always bigger in Texas, always better. Hey, if done right.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, well, I'm not saying, like, Texas has a. A way of doing devil days Bravado.

[Will Compton]

If done right.

[Sherman Young]

Well, it's like, I actually agree with him.

[Chef]

If they're done wrong, it's not.

[Sherman Young]

It's not as good.

[Will Compton]

You know? I don't mean it that way.

[Sherman Young]

If you don't have a little paprika. Yeah, it's got to have a little paprika. Maybe some chives, maybe some bacon bits in there. There. I know.

[Will Compton]

I think it's phenomenal.

[Sherman Young]

But you get.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, my. Like, I'm pal. I'm kind of like a little kid. I love some good cuisines. But you. You give me any version of deviled eggs, I'm pro. I'm probably going to love it or I'm going to be excited to see it anyway. You come across a great one. Absolutely. I'm with you. Yeah. But when you say you've done right, you're almost like drawing a line. If not done right. You know, I ain't. I mean, I'm above that.

[Sherman Young]

I'm above that. If I bite into it and I. What's. What's the type of gas that's trapped in a egg? It's. It's also in water. Like, water.

[Will Compton]

Hydrogen.

[Sherman Young]

It's not hydrogen. It's. You'll, like, turn on your shower, and sometimes it smells. Smells like eggs.

[Will Compton]

But you gotta get. If you don't, you got to get the water looked at, man.

[Sherman Young]

Farts. Not carbon monoxide. Sulfur. Oh. When you get a. When you get. Thank you, Derek. When you get a deviled egg that has that, like, sulfur smell and that sulfur taste to it, it's just kind of like. Oh, man. That's all. That's all I was referencing.

[Derek]

Put you guys on to what I'm most excited about. It's not even Thanksgiving Friday. I'm going with one of my best friends to a place called Mad Max. They do a gobblerito. It is a Thanksgiving dinner in a burrito smothered with gravy. So everything on the plate wrapped up in this huge burrito with gravy. They only do it at Thanksgiving, and then six months out from Thanksgiving, it's the greatest thing.

[Sherman Young]

And that's here in Nashville.

[Derek]

That is in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

[Will Compton]

Sherm.

[Derek]

I'm sorry.

[Will Compton]

Bring a couple back. It won't be as good, probably.

[Sherman Young]

Damn it. Golly Lee, that does sound good, man. Unreal.

[Will Compton]

Because again, it's like you talk about all the OG Stuff on a plate. Everything else, you don't know what everybody does, but it's like those family members who bring in those dishes, the little grits casserole, whatever you were talking about, you got just some haters that you're so excited about to see on the dinner table. Dude, let's go, man. Kick, kick. Get. Get us into the lesson. Oh, I. I did have. I know. I had a quick one. We'll. We'll end with your. And my wife texted me. Oh, we're good.

[Sherman Young]

Wife text me. Probably some.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, probably some dumb shout out to Wyoming. No, she's just sending me some thought bubbles.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, good.

[Will Compton]

Like the. We let each other know we're thinking. Oh, I'm thinking about each other.

[Sherman Young]

All right.

[Will Compton]

So this one is just a quick one, easy one I found on Instagram, and interestingly enough, comes after when I was talking about my. The. The whole L. Kiffin saga last week of getting the milk, hey, be present, yada, yada, yada.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, yes.

[Will Compton]

So that. Found this one on. On Instagram. This one comes from. CS Lewis said children are not a distraction from more important work. They are the most important work. In the end, the legacy that matters won't be what you built in the world. It will be who you raised and whether they felt safe, seen, and loved in your presence. Just a simple little quote. Simple little thought. Thought provoker. Provoker starter.

[Sherman Young]

I love that thought. I also love that CS Lewis was good buddies with one of my favorite writers, J.R.R. tolkien. Lord of the Rings guy.

[Will Compton]

We love Sherman. Love some Lord Rings. I like Lord of the Rings, too. I can't recite it the way you can.

[Sherman Young]

You.

[Will Compton]

You're. You're. You're a sicko.

[Sherman Young]

For anybody that's. Boys with Tolkien is good by me.

[Will Compton]

Oh, you know Tolkien.

[Sherman Young]

He's good.

[Will Compton]

Let him in.

[Sherman Young]

He's good. C.S. lewis. All right, bring him in. I love that quote. Love that quote. I often think about what you said, of all the little moments that you have to, like, teach a lesson instead of getting upset. That guy in the park.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Think about how you want him to be in the next 30 years, not the next 30 seconds. Yes.

[Sherman Young]

And I'm always a banger, bro. I'm already training myself because Scarlett cannot talk. I cannot talk to Scarlett. I can, but she doesn't know what I'm saying. And I already find myself in those frustrating moments I'm trying to coach myself of. Like, hey, this. These are those types of opportunities where you got to talk it out.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

So I've started.

[Will Compton]

We got to talk this out. You can't say no. You're going to listen to dad right now.

[Sherman Young]

She cries every time I take her home from daycare. And so I've started doing pep talks before I put her in the car instead of just. Just putting her in. And I take her out of her stroller and I hold her and I give her a pep talk for about three to four minutes, and we are two for two on. No, no tears after the pep talk, sweetheart.

[Will Compton]

Have you ever heard man in the arena? Let me read this to you before you get in the car seat. Do you know who Jocko Willick is?

[Sherman Young]

Let me put you on game, honey. I wrote a thankful letter or a thankful note that I was going to read.

[Will Compton]

Let me. Let me.

[Sherman Young]

You buckle in because we went around and we said what we're thankful for on the bus. Had a very lackluster answer. I felt like I just kind of, like, spouted something off. So I wanted to say what I was thankful for because I have also not been a thankful boy of late. I am thankful for the opportunity to be a part of the show. I truly don't know how I would be going about dad life without a place to discuss things and people to learn and hear from that constantly promote growth of character, of skill and paternal swagger. I am so thankful for my wife, Jillian Young. I love you so much, and you are the absolute heartbeat of our household, hearing Scarlet's cues as you wake her up with good morning, my love is music to my soul. Thank you for being so understanding and loving and gracious as a partner and a teammate. Thank you for challenging me because we all know I need it. And thank you for always having a spark and fervor to live life as an adventure. To my sweet Scarlet girl, my favorite parts of my day are seeing your smile and in the mornings when I wake you up from your crib and at night hearing your breaths grow long and slow with your head buried into my neck or chest. You are my whole world, and I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life having adventures with you and your mother and watching you grow up into an incredible woman just like your mother and your grandmothers. PT6 and MT6, thank you for every post, story, call in, write in or comment that you leave. They are all reminders of how lucky we are to be parents, how lucky we are to have a community that can build one another up, and how lucky I am to be a part of the show. To Deacon Chef, thank you guys for making the show run like a greased up deaf guy. Your hard work and dedication to making a fantastic show shines through every week and it's just yet another reason why I am so excited to sit down and record each episode. P.S. thank you for remembering to hit the record button when I have forgotten to. William Earl Compton iii, AKA Willie One Shelf. Thank you for taking a shot on me and hiring me. Thank you for the opportunity that you've given me and my family. Thank you for wanting to start this show that both celebrates dads and calls us to a higher standard. But also thank you for letting me be a part of of it with you. I am truly blessed. Life might kick our ass, but a wise man once said, calm seas never made a skilled sailor. And some days our ass may be grass and wifey has the mower, but we can always use a clean shave. Good. Happy Thanksgiving.

[Will Compton]

Well said, man.

[Sherman Young]

And I didn't cry. You got close for a second there, Scar. Scar part got me. But I did very good.

[Will Compton]

That's very good, man.

[Sherman Young]

Happy Thanksgiving.

[Will Compton]

Happy Thanksgiving, bro.

[Chef]

Thanksgiving.

[Sherman Young]

Very thankful for you. Thank you.

[Chef]

Sherm's the best. Sherm does a lot. People don't probably know, but Sherm, along with co hosting, is a producer, Derek. I'm sure we both can agree that Sherm is a integral, integral factor in this show. We wouldn't be able to do our jobs without him. So that was very nice of you. Thank you.

[Sherman Young]

Absolutely. Well, it goes right back to y'. All.

[Will Compton]

That was very sweet of you.

[Sherman Young]

Absolutely.

[Will Compton]

I loved every word. You did an incredible job.

[Sherman Young]

Thank you, sir.

[Will Compton]

And I'm happy to know you.

[Sherman Young]

I am happy to know you as well.

[Will Compton]

Nope, I'm happy to be in your life. I'm happier in my life.

[Sherman Young]

Alcon customer care, this is Sherman. What's that account number?

[Will Compton]

Oh, great work, man. That was. That was. That was. That was unbelievable.

[Sherman Young]

I.

[Will Compton]

It excites me that Scarlet will get to grow up and listen to that one day.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, dude.

[Will Compton]

Get to read it, see it on paper, but also go back and hear old man. Let's assume in 20 years and she's going back in the archives and gets to listen to that.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, it's really cool. Very, very thankful for the show. We have said it 5 million times and just really thankful for all you guys and what a couple cool opportunity. And some of the emails even that we read today just kind of like pushing that same idea of how lucky we are.

[Will Compton]

So yeah, the community is incredible. The email, all the write ins, all the comments. I have the one where gentleman across the pond, Rue and her, her imaginary friend.

[Sherman Young]

Oh my God.

[Will Compton]

And losing a child like that one like hangs in my, in my closet as something to look at, reflect on and appreciate. One of the many examples of loving this community is ride or die. PT6ers.

[Sherman Young]

Man, I had a a notification because somebody commented on one of our older videos. It was the guy that made the stuffed animal out of his wife's late father's rocking rocking chair. Yeah. And I was like, man, this show, like, what in the world is just like to get to experience not only the conversations with y', all, but the conversations with the audience. It's really, really cool.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, just a reminder for everybody too. As we're wrapping up this episode, we will have Black Friday sales. So if you were thinking about fully committing, committing to the PT6 movement, all this stuff will be on [e-mail] we love you. We appreciate, appreciate you. Happy Thanksgiving.

[Sherman Young]

Happy Thanksgiving.

[Will Compton]

Happy Thanksgiving. Boys.

[Sherman Young]

Not forget to take out the trash. Do not, because you know that trash can is going to be full.

[Will Compton]

Don't forget to take out the trash. See you guys next week.
