Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Halloween Weekend Recap & “Boo at the Zoo” Meetup

00:58 – 18:28

• Community Connection: Will and Sherm recount the first-ever “For The Dads” (PT6) meetup at their local zoo’s Halloween event, expressing initial anxiety about turnout, only to be overwhelmed by the strong attendance of over 50 families.
  • “My expectations that I put in my head is we might have two families that show up...Show up. And there were quite a bit of people.” – Will (03:24)
  • “…I told myself that…if we had 50 people there, I was going to be blown away…we went above 50.” – Sherm (04:11)
• Memorable Interactions: The hosts highlight meeting listeners, especially “tier one” fans and those in family-themed PT6 merch. Josiah (“Willie One Shelf”), families with babies born around the same time as Scarlett, and recurring inside jokes all become part of the show’s fabric.
• The Realities of Parent Meetups: Will’s daughter Rue's insistence on exploring the zoo her own way (“dying on the hill to go right” – 13:51), bedtime and dinner chaos, and both dads sharing comic mishaps (like kids in oversized costumes and bathrooms) underline the realities beneath the social media highlight reel.
• Key Insight: While the adults dream of seamless bonding, “chaos ensues”—but these imperfect moments are the truth of family connection.

2. The Magic of Halloween as Parent

18:29 – 29:19

• Both hosts reflect on how holidays gain a whole new magic when experienced through their kids’ eyes, with sentimental moments like trick-or-treating with friends (shoutout to “JJ Clump, the ultimate big brother” – 19:50) and seeing kids’ joy in costume.
• Sherm, always game for a dress-up, jokes about wanting to be “the prince of darkness” to Taylor Lewan’s “King of Spooky October” (24:43), showing the fun of dads fully embracing the role.
• “Halloween might be…my favorite holiday now just seeing all the magic in the air.” – Sherm (23:40)
• Will proudly details their family's “Inside Out” group costume, children’s different responses to face paint & wigs, navigating kid shyness, and the tribal feel of parent-centric neighborhoods.

3. First-Time Daycare Drop-Offs and Separation Anxiety

29:19 – 51:22

• Sherm gets vulnerable about prepping for and experiencing his daughter Scarlett’s first day at daycare.
  • “I was not expecting the emotions that hit me when I dropped off Scarlett…It felt like she was going off to college.” – Sherm (50:10)
• Both hosts swap stories and advice on parental guilt, trusting daycare staff, and letting go. Will relates having to switch to a nanny after a particularly wild daycare incident, hinting at a dramatic future story.
• “The fear is justified…I mean, again, you’re giving your entire world to people…” – Will (56:33)

4. Dad Hacks & Listener Engagement

70:06 – 71:12

• They play a listener voicemail sharing a thrifty “dad hack”—claiming your 4- or 5-year-old is still three at buffets for a discount.
  • “They can't tell. They don't check ID.” – Will (70:45)
• The crew cracks up at the authenticity (and mild illegality) of parenting on a budget.

5. Community Values Homework – Instilling Core Values in Kids

74:07 – 98:09

• The hosts read and discuss dozens of listener-submitted core values—ranging from gratitude, hard work, humility, resilience, curiosity, persistence, process-over-results, courage, and authenticity.
  • Notable examples:
    • “Dreaming big, working hard and staying humble.” – Listener NM Cola 5600 (74:07)
    • “Be the hardest worker in the room…” – Uncle Tony 2 (74:45)
    • “Above all else, be kind.” – Drew O990 (75:06)
    • “Accountability. Own everything you do or don’t do.” – Stephen Barrera 49 (76:58)
    • “Persistence. If I had to pick one, I want her to be a dog.” – H GRE (78:00)
• Will introduces lessons from a positive discipline seminar:
  • “Connect over Correct”: In stressful parenting moments, strive to act in ways that build the next 30 years, not just correct the next 30 seconds.
    • “How do you keep yourself from correcting the next 30 seconds and connect to a value you want to instill over the next 30 years?” – Will (96:32)
  • Discusses focusing on praise vs. encouragement, and the importance of asking kids about their choices and feelings (e.g., asking about why they picked a dress, rather than just saying they look pretty).
• Sherm’s value: Confidence with humility and strength, coupled with kindness
• Will’s value: Resilience

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Parental Reality and Humor:
  “Ruse pissed off because she wore this fairy costume…As I get her in the car, her head hits the ceiling…She’s crying. Mom’s not out there yet. I’m like, sweetheart, we just got to get. She’s like, it hurts. It hurts. I’m like, do you want to take it off? …Okay, then we got to figure out what’s next.” – Will (09:36)
• On Emotional Vulnerability:
  “It just…Dude, it shattered me. …Like, it felt like she was going off to college in a way.” – Sherm, on daycare drop-off (50:10)
• Philosophy: Connect, Don’t Just Correct:
  “It’s those moments where whether you’re trying to get their shoes on…Talking to them in the next 30 seconds the way you want to see them 30 years down the road.” – Will (84:49)
• Dad Hack (Listener Call):
  • “They don’t check ID.” – Will (70:45)

Episode Tone & Style

The conversation is candid, unscripted, and full of warmth. Both hosts frequently tease themselves and each other, oscillating between laugh-out-loud dad jokes and deeply personal moments. They never shy away from showing anxiety, embarrassment, or pride in their parenting journey. Listener participation and inside jokes foster a strong sense of community.

---

Conclusion & Takeaways

This episode is essential listening for dads (and any parents) wrestling with both the joy and struggle of raising young kids. Whether it’s the reality of Halloween chaos, anxieties around daycare, or how to model resilience and kindness, the “Bussin’ With The Boys” hosts embrace imperfection and encourage open discussion and self-improvement.

Key Takeaway

Parenthood’s magic and challenge both lie in small moments: be present, connect rather than just correct, and aim to instill values that last a lifetime.

[Sherm]

Happy, happy early birthday.

[Will]

Happy early birthday Scotty Joe. We have a lot on the show to cover. We just got done with Halloween. Sherm had a solo, had a solo trip on Saturday. Solo mission on Saturday.

[Sherm]

Jill ended up coming. I'll give the details.

[Will]

You'll give the details. You also took Scarlett to daycare for the very first time. So first time daycare stories come.

[Sherm]

Sorry Jill came to that. I did have a solo mission on Saturday.

[Will]

Okay, we'll get all those details right. Charo and Rue had a trip to London. I might jump into a little bit. We had our boo at the zoo which we cannot wait wait to talk about how awesome that was for all the PT6 are showing up. What else do we have? We have values homework at the end of the episode. For our quote topic lesson a couple weeks ago we challenged the PT6ers to throw in some comments. Write some comments for values they want their child to know throughout life. Yes, some of their favorite values that they would like to instill. So that'll be fun. We have a hotline 601 the Dads. If you want to be featured on the show, we will be playing voicemails toward the end of the episode we where we feature PT6ers calling in for whether it's a win, a loss, a story, whatever it is, encouragement, doesn't matter. We will feature you on the on the show 601 the Dads. You can also go to bwtb.com if you want to support and be a true Papa team Sixer. Maybe you're a semen team six or maybe you're not. Maybe you're not having a kid yet or you're not a father and you're just part of semen team 6st6 Chef Jack, he's the leader of that, of that army. But go shop in our merch store. BWTB.com Am I missing anything?

[Sherm]

I don't think you're missing anything. Oh, 601-The dads-gmail.com for our international listeners that want to call in, but maybe It's a little expensive. 601 the dads gmail.com write us an email. And we love reading those on the show.

[Will]

Yes. Like we enjoy reading everything on the show. Comments, engagement on social media, the comments under our YouTube channel, under each episode, we love to dive into those. We are going to start moving some of those toward the back instead of taking up so much of the bulk of the front of the episode. So bear with us. We're always working through the kinks here for the dads. Very small channel right now, but one day, boys gonna be big. Really gonna be big.

[Sherm]

All right.

[Will]

Especially if it has any. If there's any correlation to the PT6ers that showed up to boo at the zoo.

[Sherm]

Dude, the boo at the zoo could not have gone any better.

[Will]

Any better. I'm driving over and I just. A little bit of anxiety.

[Sherm]

Yeah.

[Will]

Not like anxiety on, like, you know, Will, what are your expectations here? You're doing a meetup. You're not doing like a meet and greet. It's not like a assigning photographs, something that was very pre planned and, and advertised all over the place. What are you expecting coming to this Boo at the zoo while you got the family. As I'm driving over and I. My expectations that I put in my head is we might have two families that show up. I know, and I know one of them and it was Alan the barber. Yeah, it was my guy Alan over at Culture Cuts. He already texted, hey, we're coming. I'm like, hell, yeah, I'm fired up. And that kind of gave me. It's like, no matter what, we'll have one. The boys at the shop are going, we'll just have a good time if nobody shows up. But then show up. And there were quite a. There's a Quite, quite a bit of people.

[Sherm]

Quite a bit of people. Derek, thank you so much. Yeah. I was really, really pleasantly surprised. I told myself that, like the number. And I'm talking in total busing with the boys. Everybody, if we need everybody. If we had 50 people there, I was going to be blown away.

[Will]

How many? 50 yeah, yeah.

[Sherm]

And I count the group picture, which was like minus the law on family.

[Will]

And there are a few there. Like, I saw. I saw. I think I saw a comment or two of like, we just missed it because we were there early.

[Sherm]

There were two different couples that got there just a little too early or not too early, but they got there a little early. That's a group photo. So those two couples, the Luan family. And then there were like four or five busing with the boys. Guys that weren't in the group photo either. If you count the group photo, it was like 46, 47. So we went above 50.

[Will]

Blown away.

[Sherm]

I was blown away.

[Will]

I know anytime we kind of talked about it or spoke about it, I just. I was always like, expectations low.

[Sherm]

Whoa, boys.

[Will]

Ain't nobody showing. It's kind of raining outside. It's cloudy. It's a little.

[Sherm]

It was a. It was an ugly night. Ugly night that turned into a beautiful night.

[Will]

PT6 showed up, bro.

[Sherm]

Huge special shout out to I. And I can't remember everyone's names. I wish I had had my notes app out and just had typed in names of families, but met Steve and his wife. Met Alec and his wife. And what I was blown away in that conversation were the MT Sixers.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Sherm]

That were sick as. Where's Jilly Bean?

[Will]

Yeah.

[Sherm]

Where's Charlie?

[Will]

We love Jill.

[Sherm]

We love Jill. We want to meet. Where's Jill?

[Will]

Jill and I are just alike.

[Sherm]

They said that? Yeah. Yeah, dude. I love that. And they were sickos for the show.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Sherm]

Thank you so much for what you are doing, buddy.

[Will]

Came about. I forget his name, but dressed as Willie One shelf.

[Sherm]

Josiah.

[Will]

Josiah.

[Sherm]

Oh, my God. Yeah.

[Chef]

It's Comedian Discovery on social media.

[Sherm]

Yes.

[Will]

That's what he. Go follow Comedian Discovery on social media.

[Sherm]

Yeah. We need to pull up his official tag because it's like Nashville Comedian Discovery. He's in our comments all the time.

[Will]

Oh, he's a PT sicko.

[Sherm]

He's a tier one.

[Will]

He had the fourth AT. He had a Papa Team 6 shirt on. He had a shelf around his waist with a form energy on it. A liquid IV packet like.

[Sherm]

And as I'm walking up to the zoo, he's already in the Wilco Infose. I thought it was you. He has Comedian Discovery and then Comedian Discovery Live that seem both to be his.

[Will]

We got a photo to Chef, so I'll send that to you so that way you can put it up on the episode.

[Sherm]

Yeah, they do have a good pick together, but just blown away, dude. And the little ones there were two little ones that were born on July 4, the day after Scarlet. I got to talk to those dads. That was incredible. Of like, bro, we're. We're every step of the way together. Like, every single thing that you're talking about each week is exactly what I'm going through. And it makes the show so much fun because it's like, oh, my gosh, yes. Sherman, tell them what you're going through. Because that's me trying to tell people what I'm going through.

[Will]

Yeah, it was. It. It was all time. And kind of a balance, too. Cuz I could feel the, like, Rue wanting to go into the zoo.

[Sherm]

Yep.

[Will]

Like, feel the family dynamic of, like, are we gonna get going into the zoo? Because I'm talking to everybody. Part of me is wanting to bring everybody in and give like a thank you speech. And then I'm nervous because it's like the whole public speaking thing. Yeah. So I'm like, all right, let me just try to talk to as many people as I can. Maybe that'll be good enough. Then as I'm talking to as many people as I can, my wife's like, hey, are we gonna go. Rue's really wanting to go into the zoo. And their kids. Come on, we got to go in.

[Sherm]

Yes. Our PT sicko friends, like, I see their kids are pulling their hands like, yo, we going or what? Yeah, like, what's good? If we're going to shoot, we gotta shake them. Essentially.

[Will]

Yes. And so it was all time. Thank you guys so much, whoever showed up. Everybody who showed up to Boo at the Zoo, we will do more meetups in the future. That was our very first one trying to embrace Booktober. The turnout was incredible. It exceeded expectations. Seeing all the support from the boys here at the shop go was. Was awesome. But great time. Boo at the Zoo. Great time. Boo at the Zoo. We had to. We almost made it to the trick or treating part and. But that was one where I saw the trick or treating and I was like, if we enter into this, it's gonna. It's gonna get bad very quickly because you're starting to push around bedtime, dinner time. Kids hadn't really eaten. Papa PT6 are right here. Didn't pack a bottle.

[Sherm]

So I wasn't like, been there.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Sherm]

Been there.

[Will]

Yeah. So, you know, I didn't know, like, because it's like, all right, we were gonna start 5, 15, 5:30, 5, 45. So I will probably go around an hour, and then we'll be on our way home. We'll get home by 7. Not realizing that Boo at the Zoo was, like, 35 minutes away from my house. So getting over there, I'm like, sweetheart, we have to leave. Like, we're supposed to be taking the photo. Like, I'm already behind 5:30. Like, this is. This is the event that we put on. We've got to get going. Ruse pissed off because she wore this fairy costume. This dress was, like, massive.

[Sherm]

Yeah.

[Will]

And she's got this crown kind of like, not, like a heavy crown, but not the plastic crown. So it was a little bit more dense. So I'm trying to get her in the car seat, and as I get around the door to lift her up, put her in, I pick her up. Her head hits the ceiling in the car, bro. So the crown just, like, goes down on her head. She's crying. Mom's not out there yet. I'm like, sweetheart, we just got to get. She's like, it hurts. It hurts. I'm like, do you want to take it off? Do you want to take off the ground? No, I want to leave it. Okay, then we got to figure out what's. What's step two here. We got to get you in the car seat. It's too tight, sweetheart. You're wearing this dress. It's going to be tight. That's what you wanted, this dress.

[Sherm]

Char is like, what happened? What happened?

[Will]

I'll be stung her.

[Sherm]

I don't know. It's crazy.

[Will]

I don't know. Take her.

[Sherm]

Take her.

[Will]

Hey. Because she got the stuff. The fluff coming up on the shoulders. You're trying to strap her in the car seat. The costumes, like, why would she. My chin, my shining. You know, how rude. Just everything's got to be off of her face. She's like her daddy.

[Sherm]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Will]

Everything's got to be off of her face. And it's this massive costume. I'm trying to get the bottom part of the buckle. Like, I'm like, squeezing to get strapped down. I'll loosen it up here in a second. Just give me a second. And it was a whole shebang. And I swear we have to. We have to go. We have to leave.

[Sherm]

I wish that we had a camera on that. And the young household. We were in the exact same boat.

[Will]

Shambles, shambles.

[Sherm]

Jill gets the Academy Award, like, legacy Academy award for having the best attitude once we got there. But I, too, showed up. Hey, are we ready? Well, when. When do we need to get? Well, we need to get there kind of early. Why aren't you texting me and tell me that we need to get there kind of early. You're just telling me right now, Honey, I understand that my communication could have been better, but you need to get in the shower.

[Will]

You need to get your. Cuz Jill's probably getting stuff together. Sharon probably slowly walks over to her. Hey, that was on me. She was probably just sitting there in her mind, like, I know what, like, what else do you have to say?

[Sherm]

He's like, sorry, I'm on all fours. I'm already bowing. I'm already bow. Just saying, we gotta hurry. And this is my fault and I'm so sorry. And I love you just wasting more.

[Will]

Time with your apology.

[Sherm]

Oh, yeah, but we.

[Will]

We.

[Sherm]

Hey, we got there. We got there.

[Will]

How. How long did you guys make it?

[Sherm]

Did we. We made it quite a long time because we were trying to keep Scarlet on a later sleep schedule going into daylight savings. So we're. We're moving her bedtime closer and closer to 8pm Central so that when the time flip happened, she's back to seven o'. Clock.

[Will]

And heady play for all the young dads out there. All the young dads out there.

[Sherm]

Yeah. That's a dad hack. That's. You know, that comes from Jill. That was her game plan. But I couldn't give you an exact time. It was definitely past 7 o'. Clock. You made the greatest play of all time. We saw the Comptons leaving. We got to say bye to them. And I'm like, hey, should we head out too? Because her, you know, bedtime fee time. Scarlet needs to go down pretty soon. And Jill and I ended up going, well, there's probably an exit through the trick or treating. Like, there's probably a faster way to the exit. We'll just go through there. Biggest mistake, because you get.

[Will]

It's like you walk through the zoo. There were two crossroads. You go right or left coming out of the jump.

[Sherm]

Yeah.

[Will]

Rue was dead set on going right. There's a monster down there. I gotta go see it. Yeah, sweetheart. The entire group is going left. We have to go left.

[Chef]

Can I tell my perspective? Because I think I have a good.

[Sherm]

Okay. I had a good angle.

[Will]

Yeah. Chef apparently was sitting there from afar seeing kind of the. This intense negotiation. Going down. It had to be fast because we're already trying to move. It's like, hey, we got to get going through the zoo. Yeah.

[Chef]

So the. The way that the boon zoo works, it's a big loop and you split. You can go left or right. And I'm talking to Will. I forgot what we're talking about. But we get to this cross, and we're kind of deciding where we're going to go. Everyone in the group's kind of like, consensus is we're going left. And all of a sudden I see. I see Ru looking down the right side. Locked.

[Sherm]

I mean, staring. And she's locked in.

[Chef]

I want to go. And then she's starting to say, I want to go that way.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And I can.

[Chef]

I look up and I see Will going, no, no, we need. She goes. You could see that instantly.

[Will]

That was not.

[Chef]

That was. It was like a r. Dying on.

[Will]

The hill to go right.

[Chef]

It's like when the world leaders in the 60s were getting together and talking about nuclear disarmament, but neither one wanted to back down. You can see for the first time since working here, I saw panic on my boss's face.

[Sherm]

Pure panic going, the missiles are coming to our island.

[Chef]

You need to take yours out of Turkey before we do anything in Cuba. That was what was happening. And then. So I feel like I made a heady play. I had to get. I was standing right in front of all of it, like, maybe like three feet. I decided to walk around, kind of do like a little. Let's let Will. Will and Charo, you know, negotiate further. And then we ended up going into. What's it called with all the reptiles and stuff?

[Sherm]

Oh, I don't know the name of that exhibit, but it's one of their newer exhibits.

[Chef]

Yeah, the spiders and the fun stuff. I went in there with, like, Jack, Matt, and G. And then I come back out and I'm like, where, you know, we meet up with everyone else. They're like, oh, the Comptons. They might have gotten out a little early.

[Sherm]

Yeah, we should have followed suit. All that to say.

[Will]

Well, it's not that. It's. There's an entire group. We were obviously in a pack for a minute. It's like, you know, how is the whole. Boo. How's the whole zoo experience gonna work out for everybody at the same time? You want everybody to stay in on. We're laughing, we're finding different things. Kiddos are being hilarious. But Rue is lockstep on going right. Finally get her to go left, eventually telling her, hey, there's going to be monsters around here. And I'm like, we're going to see everything in this park. We're going to see everything. You go left, you go right. Doesn't matter. We're going to see all of it. We'll go left, and we'll get to see the monsters last, but there's a bunch of other monsters over here that we got to go see.

[Sherm]

Monsters. Candy friends.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Sherm]

I'm team Rue. Yeah, I'm here for you.

[Will]

Yeah. And then I was like. We were like, oh, look at that pumpkin up there. And it was this talking pumpkin. Some workers are just switching throughout the day, and they're just sitting there as this pumpkin voice talking to kids that come up the entire day. So we finally get going left where we're catching up to the crew, but then there's this pumpkin that talks. So Ru has to talk to the pumpkin. Has to talk to the pumpkin. And I'm like, oh, God, we gotta keep it moving.

[Sherm]

Is this on your way out?

[Will]

We stopped and talked to the pumpkin.

[Sherm]

On the way out too.

[Will]

Even on the way in, we're trying to catch everybody else, you know, My wife's like, hey, you gotta. We gotta. If we want to get through everything, you're gonna have to stop talking to so many people. And I'm like, sweetheart, I'm with you, but what am I supposed to do? Like, they're PT6ers. Like, people are being friendly, saying hello to me. I don't want to just brush them off. Like, I want to engage. I want to talk to them. I'm trying to keep it together. And then we get to, you know, we finally got to where it was the trick or treat, and then there was the reptile exhibit to where there's a bathroom in there. Rue had to go potty.

[Sherm]

Yeah.

[Will]

She wants Dada to take her potty. So I walk her. Walk her to this stall. And I'm in this small stall, bro, with this massive dress on. Rue, trying to figure it out, trying to pick her up. I'm like, sweetheart, you just have to stand still for a second so I can get this entire dress up.

[Sherm]

Yeah.

[Will]

I'm, like, picking it all up. And I'm picking her up. I'm setting her on the toilet. She's like, no, you can't. The dress is gonna get wet. The dress is gonna get wet. I was like, I'm trying. You just gotta stay put.

[Sherm]

Some guy's pooping in the next. Oh.

[Will]

Oh, boy.

[Sherm]

We survived it.

[Will]

Survived. Came out of the stall. I was sweating. I'm washing my hands. She doesn't do anything.

[Sherm]

Oh, my God.

[Will]

She's like, I want to wash my hands, too. I'm like, all right, you can wash your hands. I'm like, reach up there. She said, I. I can't reach it. I'm like, all right, daddy's. Gonna have to pick you up. I don't want you to pick me up. I'm like, I don't know what. You're gonna have to grow longer arms. Ruin. If you want to get up under the water, I'm gonna have to pick you up.

[Sherm]

How are you gonna get up there then? Tell me. Tell me. Yeah.

[Will]

Fellow dad walks on my. Hey, how you doing?

[Sherm]

Just say it makes you appreciate that Beginning part of the PG6 meetup. There was a single baby crying. There wasn't a single kid freaking out. Everybody's, like, in the best mood.

[Will]

Those.

[Sherm]

Those times are rare.

[Will]

Yes.

[Sherm]

It was like time just stood still for a second. We all got to mingle.

[Will]

Yeah. And then said patience.

[Sherm]

Chaos ensued.

[Will]

Yeah, chaos ensued.

[Sherm]

But that's. That's life. That's parenting.

[Will]

Yeah. Charles, are you sure you. We don't want to go to the trick or treating thing? And I was like, I think we need to get home because Scotty will go sideways at some point.

[Sherm]

Yeah.

[Will]

As long as we can get a head start. And also, like, Rue's going to be trick or treating on Friday.

[Sherm]

Yeah. She's going to get her.

[Will]

She doesn't need all the, you know, she's going to have enough candy. That is going to have enough candy. I don't need all this candy. So we ended up leaving. But it was a great time. It was a great time.

[Sherm]

And Scarlett to the same point. It took us forever to get out. We went through the trick or treating loop. Huge mistake. Scarlett did such a good job in the park. She never cried. As soon as we got to the car, it was complete meltdown.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Sherm]

Whole car ride home just screaming. And Jill's just sitting back there holding her hand as I'm driving. She's going, I know. That was not fair. Mom and dad made you stay up.

[Will]

Too late talking to your little one. Like, as you're driving home. Shout out, Rue. She did a great job. As Scotty was screaming as well. Rue's just kind of sitting in the pocket.

[Sherm]

She was helping.

[Will]

Well, she'll, like, talk to her sometimes. But as far as just sitting there patiently, like, sometimes, like, when one's going, the other can start finding their lane to start losing their mind, too.

[Sherm]

Yeah.

[Will]

And Rue was just doing a. She was doing a good job of just, like, staying patient with us, wanting to talk to mama. You know, we're all talking back and forth. We're trying to, like, coach Ru up. Hey, Scotty wants you to do this. Or Scotty would love if you sang to her. And she'll like, lean over and try to do a couple things and be like, it's not working. Like, it's all right, sweetheart. We're almost home.

[Sherm]

She's like 15 minutes.

[Will]

Like, yeah, 15 minutes actually on the dot. Oh, now it's 14. That's a long time. I know, sweetheart. You're doing an incredible job back there.

[Sherm]

She'll get to that age. I feel like 4 and 5 is where she's gonna become like an attachment of you guys almost.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Sherm]

I'm seeing JJ really special. Shout out to JJ Clump.

[Will]

Shout out JJ Clump.

[Sherm]

He is a son of one of employees here, Jeremy Clump and some of the PT6 sickos may have met him at the meetup. I actually got invited by the Clumps to go trick or treating with them on Halloween night. Had a blast. But I think the main takeaway from that night was JJ Clump just being the ultimate big brother that I've ever seen. Truly as a. Was he five?

[Will]

Yeah, I think he's five.

[Sherm]

Just best attitude ever. During the trick or treating, he's wanting to hold Jill's hand the whole time or my hand. The way he treats Jill and holds doors open for the way he treats Scarlet. He was asking for extra. He didn't know that Scarlett was too young to have candy, but he was saying, Scarlett's back in the street while we're trick or treating. So these parents have no idea who Scarlet is. And JJ goes, trick or treat for Scarlet too. They're oh, for Scarlet. Yeah, I need one more candy for Scarlet. They're like, oh, for Scarlett. Thank you.

[Will]

Thank you.

[Sherm]

It's like, Jill, I got it for Scarlett. I got it for Scarlett. It's just like, dude, Halloween was so. It was so special to get to share that night with the clubs because Scarlett's too young to trick or treat. Although she came along.

[Will]

How fun is it, though, just as a parent now watching the little kids? Trick or treat, dude.

[Sherm]

The magic is in the air. Halloween might be. It was already at the top of my list. I love Christmas. I love fourth of July, but y' all know me. I'll dress up. Oh, Sherman, we need you to dress up for this video. Oh, twist my arm.

I think it might be now just seeing all the magic in the air and maybe once I have my first 4th of July with a bunch of kids I'm gonn like all right 4th of July is back on top.

[Will]

Once I have my first 4th of July and I'm giving a kid beer for the first time.

[Sherm]

There you go son. I'm handing him a bottle rocket don't tell your father. Hey we used to blow up frogs for reference.

[Chef]

For anyone that's curious sherm on like the third day of October came in and I guess like a yellowstone like Dutton outfit and brought a 22 gauge with it unloaded, of course.

[Will]

Unloaded. Unloaded. Un. Goxo.

[Chef]

So, yeah, Sherm's all in. He's bought in. And if you guys watched yesterday's intro busting with the boys, if Taylor. I think if there ever was a guy to do a spook off to take supreme rain of October, and I don't think you would do it, but I wouldn't. Would be the guy that would be. He's the. He's the. Which Stark was it? The King of the North.

[Will]

Jon Snow.

[Chef]

No, Rob. Yeah, he's. He's. He's not. He doesn't want the throne, but he could have it.

[Sherm]

Yeah. If Taylor is the king of Spooky October, I want to be his prince of darkness, if that makes sense. Like, I. I kneel. I kneel to Taylor and I give him my sword. My sword is his.

[Will]

This is a. I. I see it more as a collective.

[Sherm]

That's what I think.

[Will]

You could be a prime. You could be a prime cat in Spooktober.

[Sherm]

That's why I'm his prince of dark. Like, I'm. I'm a lord.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Sherm]

I'm a lord.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Sherm]

But I'm of House Young. Not taking over Spooktober.

[Will]

Not taking over.

[Sherm]

I am joining. I'm a bannerman. Thank you. I'm a bannerman of the Luan house.

[Will]

I. Chef, I love how you just brought up the example, and immediately he's like, no, no, I'm not here for.

[Sherm]

Up in the name. I beseech you. I could never. But that. That was my Halloween. And I would love to hear about yours, and I can go into mine a bit more, but just seeing the clumps operate, getting to hang out with the family, getting a trick or treat. There was one trick or treat station that had fireball shots for the adults.

[Will]

Oh, really?

[Sherm]

That was a blast.

[Will]

That's. That's like a new thing that I've learned over the past couple years is we. We went out the last two years. We went like the Bell Mead area. There is the Bell Mead Links. And then this year we went to Nickel Lane. Nicole Lane or Nickel Lane.

[Sherm]

Okay.

[Will]

Where they block off the road. And so you're parking outside the street. Yeah, you're parking outside. It's like, this is a full on. Like. Like an OG spot. Apparently in Nashville, there's this instagra that posted, like, all these OG spots that you can go to in Nashville. So we chose Nicole Lane or Nicole Lane. And basically every house, bro, every house embraces Halloween. So to Our kids are out there running around, ripping around. We're in a family costume. We're inside out. I'm fear. Charles Bing Bong. You know, Lola is sadness. Opa is anger. Rue is disgust. And I'm so proud of her for painting her face. She was all decked out in green. Wore the wig, didn't want to wear it at first. Ended up wearing the wig. Talked her into how cool it looked. And she's, like, kind of shy, looking in the mirror, kind of like, what do I think of this? And we're all like, how cool she looks. She's get this. Got the smile on her face. Scotty was joy, even though she wouldn't wear anything on her head. Like, she wouldn't let us put the little, like, little baby wig on her. She's kept tearing it off. We'd be like, all right, let's get this family photo. I'd be like, holding it on. She'd just be. Scott Zilla would just be trying to rip it down. But also along the street, too. It's like, parents are outside. They're enjoying beverages. Everybody knows it's like a tribal effort. So the kids are ripping around, having fun. The older kids are running around. There's even a couple houses to where there's just a note on the door. Candies tipped over. And it's like, we're out trick or treating right now. Please take two. You know, be kind. All this stuff, you know, the hood. The hoodlums are just out there ripping. They take 10 piece of candy, they taking it all. Rue's a lot more shy this year, going up to the doors and saying, trick or treat. So it's like that process of getting her to embrace her, like, strong voice and like, hey, here. Here's where you say trick or treat. You say trick or treat. You pick out a piece of candy. They'll back take two. And we'll be standing there looking down at the. Looking down at the box of candy. I'll be like, sweetheart, you got to pick a couple. Like, I know you see those M and M's. Go pick out some minutes. She'll pick up the M and M's, and she'll be like, I think, sweetheart, you got to pick another one. There's kids behind you. You got to hurry up and pick one out. Like, why don't you go ahead and grab that Snickers down there for your dad? She'll grab the Snickers, throw it in. But, yeah, Halloween, it's like a. It is a hot. It is A holiday that climbs the charts fast when you are a parent.

[Sherm]

Fast.

[Will]

Dude, you'll get it too again. When? Come Christmas time. Especially when she gets like, she'll, you know, she's a few months now, but next year when she's like actually trying to understand the concept of opening up presents.

[Sherm]

This is yours.

[Will]

And it's. It's magical, bro.

[Sherm]

It is truly magical. And I already love the holidays. But like Scarlett in her little costume and we did a DIY cotton candy and she has no idea what's going on, but she thought it was hilarious that there was all this fluff around her and it was tickling her. She was in the best mood.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Sherm]

And she was ripping because we just hot glued. Or Jill hot glued the cotton on there. She was ripping her costume apart the whole night but like having fun with it. And she would just get these handfuls of cotton and be like, ah. And smiling and laughing. And she'd put the cotton in her mouth and just lose it and just start going. It was like this mixture of loving her costume, hating her costume, but it was a blast, dude.

[Will]

Yeah. Halloween. Halloween's a great holiday. How was. How is the. Explain the solo mission. You were on a solo mission on Saturday. I know you had first day of daycare.

[Sherm]

Yes.

[Will]

So we can talk through the anxieties. A parent has gone taking your kid to daycare for the first time. The experience of dropping them off at daycare for the first time.

[Sherm]

Yeah, it was okay. So solo mission. Jill is back at work. She's a nurse. She's a pediatric nurse. She works on a step down unit. So when the kids are getting out surgery, they come down to her unit. She works six to six. And so basically from first feed to like almost tuck in, like Jill really walked in the door once. I drew the bath and it was the first time that I had scarlet solo that I truly felt like really sad. Like there was no notes. Like last time. There was no somebody in the comments.

[Will]

Well, remember last time? That was more of a general. These are general notes for anybody who walks in the door. True. So true.

[Sherm]

And there were. I love that somebody was like, yo, Jilly Bean meal prepped outfits for sure.

[Will]

Ziploc bags in Ziploc bags.

[Sherm]

That comment made me lose it. That was hilarious. But there was none of that. It was just like, dad, what do you got? I have full trust in you. And it was such a great day, dude. She's starting to get more active. She needs a lot of playing. She needs to be moving from room to room. If she stays in one room, she starts losing it. Waking your kid up, dude. I think any parent can agree. Just the smile you get when you come and get them out of their crib, dude. And you're doing the good morning voice.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Sherm]

Oh, hello. Yeah, hello, sweet girl. And now just grinning. She's kicking full. Like, both legs are just kicking in the air. And, dude, it was an incredible day. The absolute money move that I made, because I was like, I got to support Will with this Nebraska stuff. I gotta support Jill with her first day at work because she's gonna want to come home and be with me. I'm just kind of like, how do I go about, like, bouncing these two things? And I was like, I can easily take Scarlett to the shop. Like, nobody, nobody would have an issue with that. And she needs to be entertained. Like, she needs to have things going on. I feel like the guys would be cool with it. I bring Scarlett up for the blackout stream. Blackout stream, yeah. Matt Malone and Chef and Ryan Noland, who are three employees here at the shop, are all sitting in there. And when I walk in with Scarlet, they're elated. They're all talking to her, playing the chat. PT6ers are in the chat. And Scarlet had a ball, dude. And it was the perfect way to keep Scarlet awake right before that bedtime tuck in. And Jill was honestly kind of proud of me that I brought her up to the shop and, like, was comfortable.

[Will]

House did something, got out of the.

[Sherm]

House, was comfortable to do it. I. I was sending her pics of, like. And you can use that one for the episode.

[Chef]

I have a video, too, I took, without you or somewhere else, of me pushing her on the stroller.

[Sherm]

Oh, that's hilarious.

[Chef]

She was so well behaved.

[Sherm]

She.

[Chef]

And there was no sleeping in that stream because it was five guys screaming at the TV constantly. There's two games. So Will, when it went to commercial break and Will sat down and started tweeting from his phone, take the fight to him.

[Will]

Take the fucking fight to him. Scarter. Stay asleep.

[Sherm]

And they kept on looking over at me, and I was giving y', all, like, the thumbs up because I'm like, the dogs go ballistic at our house all the time.

[Will]

She's just snoozing.

[Sherm]

She's used to loud noises.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Sherm]

Like, y'. All. Y' all, do you.

[Will]

So I sent your wife a text.

[Sherm]

Oh, yeah, he sent my wife a text.

[Will]

Do you want to Sherm? And just by the way, for everybody, like, you know, I'm trying to figure out, how do I Balance. Supporting my friend in the blackout and supporting my wife for her first day of work. So Wednesday, last Wednesday happens, and the boys are like, chef was there too. So Chef can chime in. Like, hey, are you gonna stream the game? This. Are you gonna go to the game or are you gonna stream the game? We've been. We've had weddings the last two weekends, so we were gonna stay home. I'm like, yeah, yeah, like, let's stream the game. We can go ahead and stream the game. Like, who's going to be your chef's kind of rattling down. Hey, so Jared's going to be out. Derek's going to be out. Like, people that could be out. He's like, but I can run the stream. He was going to go to the game, the dark mode game for Tennessee. He's like, but I will. We can go blackout here at the shop, and I'll get in the foxhole and we'll watch it. He's like, it's truly no big deal.

[Sherm]

A true dog.

[Will]

And I'm kind of sitting there. I'm like, I mean, if I was like, I'm down to just me and you watch the game together. If you really want to go to Tennessee, then, bro, go to Tennessee. Like, I'll. I'll figure out. I mean, I'll be able to watch the Huskers play. Yeah, yeah, Sherm. Sherm's standing there, too. And he's like, hey, we need everybody.

[Sherm]

We need everybody.

[Will]

I was like, oh, are you in town? Would you be. Would you. Would you come? He's like, I'll be there. I was like, you're gonna come to the stream? I was like, dude, let's rip it. We'll rip the stream. So Wednesday, the expectation of Sherm coming to the stream was there. And then what was it? Friday, when we were kind of having our for the dads meeting and talking about weekend plans and everything else. I want to say. Sherm started to say he might. Was it, you might not make the stream?

[Sherm]

Sherman realized, oh, you weren't gonna be.

[Will]

Like, I might come in the second half.

[Sherm]

Sherman realized that his wife was working that day. The schedule.

[Will]

I might come in the second half. What you. You talk about, we need everybody and you're gonna be there on Saturday. And now you're telling me you're not gonna be there? Maybe you'll show up for the second half when Jill gets home. Have you not talked about this at all with your wife? The planning of it all to that.

[Sherm]

At that point, zero. And I'm Sitting there, knees buckling, because I'm like, damn it. I said I was gonna go to this thing.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Sherm]

But also have not consulted with my wife, not realizing that she was going to be working.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Sherm]

I've put myself in a blender.

[Will]

Sherm's greatness and Achilles heel is that Sherman's a people pleaser. And so even when Scarlett's there and I walk in and I see Sherm, I thought I saw, like, I saw your Chevy sitting out there. And I'm like, I wonder if Sherm's in the shop. Walk in. He's got Scarlet in the shop. I'm fired up. I'm like, bro, let's go. And so I'm thinking, all right. He's probably. My thought in my head was, he's gonna have Scarlett here. Jill might come by and pick up Scarlett. He's gonna take Scarlett home, then come back to the shop. So we get close to halftime or something. Sherm's talking about going to pick up food. But I know in Sherm's mind, and you can correct me if I'm wrong, but here's what the game I'm playing in my head is. There hasn't been a conversation of if he's going to be here for the second half. I am still assuming he's going to be here for the second half in his might think, like, Will still might be assuming that I'm coming back. Sherm says this thing out loud outside the stream where it's like, I'm gonna go pick up dinner, get Scarlet home, and kind of leaves it vague. And so before he leaves and I'm. I just yell out of the stream room, knowing that he's probably just in a blender. I'm like, sher, you're coming back for the second half? Yeah. And he's like, I said, most.

[Sherm]

Like, most likely not. We'll see how it goes. And Jill totally put the ball in my court. Like, there was no part of Jill being like, you can't go.

[Will]

She sends me this text, says something a little different.

[Sherm]

Well, hold it, hold on, hold on. Because that text.

[Will]

So you're not coming back? He's like, no. I said, he's like, you. Jill's gonna be excited to spend time with me, and it's her first day at work, and again, I'm pressing my man. I'm busting his balls. I'm like, give me Joe's number. I'll shoot her a message.

[Sherm]

Wait, wait, Before. Okay, before you read this, because, oh, my gosh, my wife had no idea what she did when she sent that text because I read the text later.

[Will]

Oh really?

[Sherm]

And I was like, oh no. Because of the result of the game. And she didn't mean anything by it. It was contemplating if she should follow up with the follow up text now. Go ahead.

[Will]

So I text Jill, it's about 8:30. And I said, honestly, it's crazy. You won't let me have one of my best guys when Nebraska is in an absolute dog fight. All caps. She responded to me about 10 minutes later. Haha. Willie C. My most sincere apologies. I'm pulling the wifey card. Nebraska's in her thoughts and prayers. I mean, how do you lose a blackout game at home? Don't ask. Baylor. Oops. Go big Red.

[Sherm]

So she was taking a shot at Baylor, but in that text, Nebraska ends up losing. And I'm like, oh no.

[Will]

Red was internally in my eyeballs.

[Sherm]

But she sent it before they lost, correct?

[Will]

She sent it. But maybe. I don't know.

[Sherm]

I'm pretty sure she sent it before.

[Will]

I just remember seeing it. And when I saw I had to pull the wifey card, I'm like, yeah, you did. Because she had to clip my man's balls right here in front of all of them. She.

[Sherm]

She took a shot at Baylor and unbeknownst took a shot at Nebraska. She wanted to follow up with an apology text. She still. She still might because she knows how much you love the hustle.

[Will]

I should shoot her a text. Now, looking back at this text.

[Chef]

Yeah, FaceTime would work.

[Will]

All right. Is she working? You think she'll answer?

[Sherm]

Oh yeah, she'll answer. I hope she answers. And if not, I can. I can face timer.

[Will]

If not, tough look. Yeah, for all of us.

[Sherm]

If not, it is what it is. She hates us all.

[Will]

She don't answer. I'm just going to text her. All right, bet.

[Sherm]

Oh, Jilly Bean, please.

[Will]

No answer.

[Sherm]

Will can. All right. Bet not. Will's playing fine tricks on Jill and me. Sorry, what were you gonna say, Chef?

[Chef]

Yeah, I'll make it quick. Not a football podcast, but on the stream. I do want to make a confession because I felt like Matt took a bullet and in the moment while Tennessee was losing, I was not in the headspace to go. Hey, I probably need to clarify something.

[Will]

You don't need to say it. You don't need to say it. I already know, but you don't need to say it.

[Chef]

I pulled the trigger.

[Will]

I know. He. He threw you under the bus right after the. He did. Yeah. He said. By the way, I didn't I wasn't the one recording you. Chef kind of said, hey, you should record Will during this fourth and one stop.

[Sherm]

No.

[Will]

You're kidding. No. He literally goes, get a video.

[Sherm]

Will. Yeah.

[Will]

He nudges me. He's like, hey, got your phone on you?

[Chef]

I was like, yeah.

[Will]

I just wanted to bust his balls. Like, that obviously is a moment you want to.

[Chef]

God, I was feeling bad about it, too.

[Will]

Yeah, No, I. Yeah, I knew. I knew that part. But tough loss, tough love. I went home and I kind of said the whole spiel on bus. And like, I stood outside, rain hit my face. I walked inside. Face was still painted. Battered and bruised from that game emotionally, because I felt like the way we looked in that first half. I know this isn't a football podcast. I'm not sitting here trying to talk about Nebraska, but God's kind of calling me to. Right. Right now.

[Sherm]

Yeah, yeah, listen to it. Listen to the call.

[Will]

That first half, we looked like a playoff team.

[Sherm]

Y' all did.

[Will]

I mean, the way we were taking it to usc.

[Sherm]

Yeah.

[Will]

That offense, I'm thinking, all right, you got ucla, we'll whoop them. Penn State, we got them now. And then you got to finish up with a. A hard fought game at Iowa. But at that point, we'll be playing to get in the College Football playoff because we'll be 5, 10 and 2. Yeah. But I walk inside after the loss and quietly shut the door. My wife's laying on. Laying in bed reading a book. And I. I quietly shut the door. Door locks. And she looks up at me and she's like, I'm sorry, babe. I'm like, me too. I go and wash my face off, go lay down in bed next to her. She's like, how you feeling? Like, I'm just sad. And. And I go, you know, there is one thing that make me feel better, though. She started giggling.

[Sherm]

What she said.

[Will]

You know, it was, it was that time. Yeah. You know, all right, I got you, I got you. Hey, maybe in the next couple days.

[Sherm]

Yeah, for sure.

[Will]

Maybe I'll get on that Shock Wave roller coaster in the next couple days. I will say 6am this morning.

[Sherm]

Rizzo's listening, just going, there you go, Willie.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Will]

Sitting here, listen. They're sitting there listening right now. Like, gosh damn it. Who knows who listens to this podcast? And you're talking about the shock wave at 6am only the inside PT sickos know what we're talking about, but everybody kind of knows what we're talking about.

[Sherm]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Will]

But yeah, tough, tough. You know, that was the weekend that. Oh, we had. Matter of fact, do you have anything else, Jeff?

[Chef]

No, but by the way, Rizzo comedy was really cool. I've been trying to play it really cool and not talk about it.

[Sherm]

It.

[Chef]

Because it's just at this point, it's. It's run its course. But I do feel like that was pretty cool because he reached out and we talked about it. Like, this is a niche podcast. Not for long. But to have someone like that, especially childhood hero of mine, that was super cool. So shout out.

[Will]

We'll get him on this show one day.

[Chef]

That'd be sick.

[Sherm]

It legitimized what Logan had texted us.

[Will]

Yes. Thank God. Because you kind of don't know there.

[Sherm]

Is a part of you that's like, oh, maybe he just said a one off comment to Logan. Logan got excited. He texted us.

[Will]

Yeah. Maybe fluffed it up a little bit more. Could still be the case.

[Sherm]

Could still be the case. But then you see the comment.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Sherm]

And we didn't even tag him in the video. Right. Both.

[Will]

I both followed each other.

[Sherm]

That's huge.

[Will]

I think we might have tagged him. I posted it on. On X.

[Sherm]

We didn't tag him on Instagram where he commented. We tagged him on the X of it, but the Instagram, he was untagable. So he just saw it.

[Will]

Okay. Okay. That is. That is cool.

[Sherm]

There was one other thing about Saturday Black. Oh, very fun being with the boys with the baby. And I want to do more of that. Like, yeah, just opportunities.

[Will]

We just. We got to get the cruise together.

[Sherm]

Got to get the cruise together.

[Will]

We got to do a number one. We also got to do like a game night, which is the parents we got around here.

[Sherm]

And we got to. Jill is working this Saturday and the Dallas Stars. Coop and I are big fans of the Dallas Stars. They're playing the Preds this Saturday. Coop invites me to go with him and his girlfriend and he's like, you should bring Jill and Scarlett. Jill can't go because she's working, but since it's a 2:30 tip off, she was like, hey, you should just take Scarlett. And so I'm taking Scarlett to Dallas Stars game. It's gonna be fun.

[Will]

Yeah, it's gonna be a good time.

[Sherm]

It'll be a good time.

[Will]

And all parents out there know, like, if we're gonna do a game night, we have to intentionally plan. We have. Because we sound like every friend group right now that says we got to get together, we got to do something, and it just doesn't happen. You know why? Because life happens.

[Sherm]

Life happens.

[Will]

Then you're there the next year or then you're. We're sitting here at New Year's and it's going to be a New Year's resolution. It's been one of mine before, like a quarterly game night. But it has to get like intentionally planned out, prepared for. And everybody's got to be just lockstep, arms locked. Hey, this child care. We're all on deck, bro. Night for the parents. Night for the.

[Sherm]

Oh, we're doing night for the parents.

[Will]

I think so, yes. Okay. Because parents need their time. They need their social time. We need our community outside of kids. We need to do stuff with kids.

[Sherm]

Yeah.

[Will]

Like bringing the families together, but also like community for the parents and socializing. Just getting out of the house, feeling young.

[Sherm]

This is a good step forward too, with Jill and I because we've yet to do a babysitter night night. We have not done one. We. We need to. We need to make it happen.

[Will]

So I was. And I would say too, like, just get a rep as soon as you can. Like start getting reps before the actual separation anxiety sinks in for the little one. Like when rue. Forget when it is. But probably like in the one year old time or maybe around two. But the moment they realize you're leaving and they're very sad.

[Sherm]

Yeah.

[Will]

And like scared or they don't want to be with the babysitter, you just, you feel so bad as a parent leav and going to dinner. And so I would just, I would just tell you or advise or encourage you just to get in some kind of rhythm or at least have an experience or two of it before it gets to a point where separation anxiety kicks in.

[Sherm]

Yeah.

[Will]

Because it's going to hit you hard no matter what. But if, if your first one comes when they're already very aware and it's a babysitter coming over for like the first time or somebody they could be unfamiliar with or not as familiar with. With. It just hits you hard, bro.

[Sherm]

You.

[Will]

You kind of don't even enjoy the date night because you're like, you feel like you got to get home because your little one feels like they're in prison right now.

[Sherm]

You should have seen me yesterday dropping off Scarlet at daycare that. That separation anxiety hit hard, hard for you. Oh, yeah, it was. I fully expect. So Jill ended up moving a shift around to be able to come to the very first drop off as well, which I'm very thankful for because there were a ton of moving parts I'm ready now. Like, I can do the drop offs super easy. Getting her bottles ready in the morning, having the bag pack, the extra diapers, extra outfits, like you give it to the daycare. So now they have all the extra stuff. But, dude, I was not expecting the emotions that hit me when I dropped off Scarlet. It was like, she's never been with, without me or Jill before. She's been with our parents before, which, that's a little different. But I'm just sitting there in that classroom and the teachers are so sweet. The daycare workers are so sweet.

[Will]

Just a completely new environment with zero history with anybody in the building.

[Sherm]

Anyone in the building. And there's these like five little precious baby girls in this. So the class is five girls and two boys. And all the, they have all the girls, like, in this little circle with these, each other. And they're all four to like seven months old. And I'm looking at the little group, I'm like, those are going to be her friends. Like, look how excited they are sitting in their little thing.

[Will]

Like, she. That's the rugrats right there.

[Sherm]

Those are the Rugrats. Like, she's going to be one of the girls. And then I look up and there's a little apple with scarlet Y and it has like a little hanger under it. And I'm like, I'm like, she going to school. She's going to school.

[Will]

Four months old.

[Sherm]

I'm like, like, she's, she's going to be great.

[Will]

Great.

[Sherm]

She's gonna do a good job. And then now the teacher's holding, teacher's holding there and I'm just, I'm restraining so much. I'm. I'm over here because I want to, like, go up and give her one more kiss. But then I'm like, I'm gonna kiss my baby while somebody else is, like, holding her. Is that weird?

[Will]

I don't want to freak out.

[Sherm]

But now I, like, really, I want her back. Like, give her back to me so I can kiss her, dude.

[Will]

That's so funny, dude. Because I'll think about it, even with her name and still it comes to my mind when I'm giving, like, hugs and kisses and three squeezes. She might be holding Scotty. And I'm giving her hug, kiss and three squeezes. And while Audrey's holding her. Yeah, give her a hug, kiss and three squeezes. And part of me is like, do I tell Audrey I love her?

[Sherm]

Love you too.

[Will]

Hey, do you want to hug too? I just.

[Sherm]

That's how I feel. And I'm like, this lady doesn't know me.

[Will]

She's gonna think I'm a freak.

[Sherm]

And then they. They put Scarlet down on the little, little pillow, like the little U shaped pillow. And we're like walking out of the classroom and it's a very obvious. Now it's like, okay, now y' all go check out because we gotta do some paperwork and get the app downloaded, get our fingerprint scanned, all that fun stuff. And they have one of those, like, real long horizontal windows to, like, look into the classroom. And as we're walking out, dude, I stopped and I stood there for five minutes while Jill was talking to the people. I was just watching their every move with Scarlett as they're, like, laying her down on the pillow. She's smiling, she's loving it. She's, like, taking in the new environment and kind of looking around. Has a smile the entire time. Yeah, it starts hitting the eyes. So I'm like, I gotta go back to the. To the front desk. I got. And I'm standing there at the front desk, and the entire time I'm like, I gotta go back. I gotta go back and look at her in the classroom. I looked at her again and then, dude, when I walked out of that building, I lost it. I was not. I thought Jill was going to be losing. It, was going to be crying. She didn't cry once. It was me. The whole time she drove back from the daycare, I just sat in the passenger seat, not, like, sobbing, but just, like, so quiet. And she was like, what. What's hitting you right now? Like, why are you. And I was like, life is just going to be a bunch of those. It's just gonna be a bunch of moments of, like, her getting older and older and older and doing all these steps, and I'm just gonna be, like, imagining her under those little Billy lights in the hospital room and, like, holding her hand. And she's always gonna be that small to me. And I. It just. Dude, it shattered me. I was like, oh, my gosh. I know she's only four months old, but, like. Like, it felt like she was going off to college in a way. Like. And I know that's so different.

[Will]

I. I really enjoy hearing about you embracing the moment because it's funny to think about knowing she's four months. Like, I'm four months old, you picking her up and like, hey, would you learn anything today?

[Sherm]

Yeah, she knows. She knows nothing of her environment other than, oh, these people are nice to give me a baba too. They Let me nap too. These guys are sick.

[Will]

Little does she know, dad, dad is struggling right now.

[Sherm]

Oh, struggling. Oh, dude. But I mean, daycare is what it is and people, you know, aren't like against it or like, maybe they just don't do daycare or maybe they do a different style of daycare with people coming to their house. But just like that true daycare of like dropping off your kid, it is like, I'm excited to see how that, like helps develop Scarlet, because when we were dropping by for the very first time for like the pre drop off this little one year old, as soon as the classroom door, the daycare door, you know, opened up, this one year old just crawls up to us and is just talking and she's not making any sense, but she's just so excited to see a new face. And it's da da da da da da da. And we're like, yeah. I was like, that's going to be Scarlet. Like, she's going to be okay with like hanging out with new people and excited to talk to people and I don't know. It just got me excited for her development. It got me excited for her growing up. But it also made me really sad. It made me really, really sad in a good way. Pt pt. Sickos. Chef just got shocked. He's been getting shocked. And we're not talking static electricity. We're talking full on voltage coming from a power strip. What else is shocking? What else is shocking? Stock market maybe. True Classic the way it makes men look. True Classic the way it makes men feel comfy. It looks sharp. It's great for any outing, guys. And hey, look at me. I'm dressed with these guys. That will be hitting BWTB.com very soon. I'm also dressed in a True Classic hoodie. True Classic not only has great shirts, guys, it also has hoodies. True Classic has pants. They will get you ready for the fall, winter, spring, summer having you look good no matter what, guys. And here's the cool part about True Classic. They just launched a boys line. Boy dads you can match. And honestly, it looks way better than those awkward family photo outfits or cheesy pajamas. Imagine a Christmas card in True Classic outfits that might hit home, that might make that one ant that's always putting out the best Christmas cards look bad this year because you outdid her. You get to show up together. You get to feel comfortable and actually look good doing it. The crazy thing is True Classic has already sold over 25 million shirts to more than 5 million customers with over 200,000 five star reviews. So I'm definitely not the only dad who has figured this out. Guys, you can find True Classic at Amazon, Target Select, Costco and Sam's Club locations or just head to true classic.com forward/for the dads. Special special guest Willie C on the True Classic ad. That was trueclassic.com forward/for the dads. Trust me, grab one and you'll thank me later. Will, this is actually your hoodie. I stole your True Classic hoodie. It's a good hoodie.

[Will]

My opponent.

[Sherm]

Back to the episode.

[Will]

I ever told you my daycare story.

[Sherm]

I've heard. I told you. Yeah, I've heard tale you sent via text message what had happened, but I've never heard you verbally tell it.

[Will]

We might have to save it for next week.

[Sherm]

Because it's a wild one.

[Will]

Because it's a very wild. It's a very wild story. It's the reason we have, you know, we had to. Big thing happened.

[Sherm]

Yeah.

[Will]

We had to transition very quickly in the middle of like, you know, work schedules and everything else to where we ended up going the nanny route. But I'll talk to my wife, see if I can tell the story.

[Sherm]

Yeah.

[Will]

Because it is a crazy story.

[Sherm]

It is one of those types of stories. And for listeners at home, I know you've touched on this, but Charo is full time working as well. You. Both of you guys are very, very busy. So. So childcare is a necessity.

[Will]

Absolutely. Yeah. But it is a. I. We joke around on this pod a lot. We get serious on this pod. But I do not say this lightly. This story is insane.

[Sherm]

It's insane. And I think that that's also what was hitting me in the moment was like having to release like the fear that I had of like somebody else caring for my child.

[Will]

Child.

[Sherm]

It. It really was almost like I was having to purge myself of worry and fear in that moment.

[Will]

The fear is justified. I mean, again, you're giving your entire world to people that they're not your parents, they're not your family. You have zero relationship with them. You're just trusting. You know, the, the building, the reviews, stuff you've heard.

[Sherm]

I'm on a first name basis with these. Ms. Christy.

[Will]

Yeah, yeah.

[Sherm]

Ms. Angela.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Sherm]

And they seem like sweethearts. I trust them. But I'm also like, oh, my God. Oh, my God.

[Will]

Yeah. Yeah. But I'll see if I can. I can tell the story.

[Will]

Is Julian Edelman from Games With Names. Football is back.

[Sherm]

That means it's tailgate time and this.

[Will]

Season the only meat going on the.

[Sherm]

Grill is Dietz and Watson.

[Will]

Some of my favorites are the Black Angus Dietz dogs, the Italian style chicken sausage and the Asiago spinach chicken sausage, just to name a few. Oh, and I love the jalapeno mustard.

[Sherm]

It's flavor packed and you could just.

[Will]

Tell Dietz and Watson uses the highest.

[Sherm]

Quality meats in every bite.

[Will]

Dietz and Watson was born in Philly.

[Sherm]

In 1939 and they've been doing it the right way ever since. Visit deetsonwaston.com the right way to learn.

[Will]

More about the deets difference next week or something. Yeah, because it's a wild story and I don't want to say anything that I'm not supposed to say. Or maybe I don't want some things being shared.

[Sherm]

Yeah, yeah, it's cool to hear you say that term because we had this old coach back in the day that would talk about the transfer of moments how, like, every day in high school soccer, like, each Friday, you get to play a game in front of people. And as you get older, the moments are far and few between, and they're no longer about you and your day, but they become about your kids and become about that. So for hearing you say, like, my life is just going to be a bunch of little scar. Scar moments of her growing up and stuff, it's the first time I've heard somebody talk about that transition of moments. Like, it's no longer about what Sherm gets to do Friday. It's like the daughter, she's at daycare for the first time. Like, that's a cool thing to hear you say, dude. Thank you. It was. It was a cool moment. It needed to happen. It was a good thing. It's also helping in Jill and I's development. It is a great precursor to the babysitter stuff and the, like.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Sherm]

You know, just being able to, like, let go, get, trust others.

[Will]

Yeah. And also just feeling like Derek was saying, just feeling the depth of the moment, like, as funny as it is, like, she's four months, all that stuff. But just being able to truly be where your feet are is a. You know, is like a skill. And you doing that and feeling the weight of the moment and kind of foreseeing everything else in the future and knowing that this is. This moment is as special as any other moment that will come. Even when she's talking or does understand stuff.

[Sherm]

Yeah.

[Will]

So it is. It's. It's. It was cool to see it on your face. Almost came out of your eyes. I was waiting. I was waiting for.

[Sherm]

I'm getting.

[Will]

Waiting for some tears going.

[Sherm]

I'm getting a bit better at holding back the tears. Tears.

[Will]

Are you. You just said you were. You just said Jill didn't cry one tear. And you holding back.

[Sherm]

Holding back the tears on the show.

[Will]

This is 24 hours ago when you just dropped Scarlet off.

[Sherm]

If anything, I have no tears to give because, guys, I was parked once. Once we got to the house, I needed to get back here because we had interviews and stuff. But I'm like, I'm about to walk in looking like a psychopath. I need to get it together. And I'm driving to the shop and I have a Spotify playlist. And the lullaby that I sing to Scarlett is Edelweiss. I sing it to her all the time when I'm putting her down. And Spotify is just going off random songs. And right before I blow up the shop, Edelweiss starts playing. Like, what are we doing? I walk in, very first thing Chef says, you good?

[Will]

Good? Yeah, I'm great.

[Sherm]

I'm really good. Are you sure? Yeah, I'm good. And then, like 10 minutes later, I fessed up and said that I was crying from daycare. And Jeff was like, yeah, I could tell.

[Will]

It's like, damn it, you gotta love Chef Chefisms. Do we have, outside of the core value stuff that we'll be going over that people sent to us, do we have other comments that we'll be reading? We do. What piles do you have? Do you have any piles?

[Sherm]

I do have a pile. And right before we go into that, let's hit him with a nice little crack, a cold one from our friends at Liquid iv.

[Will]

Let's hit him with a crack of cold one. Do you have water? I got some mixing. I got some mixing right here.

[Sherm]

Oh, yeah, absolutely, buddy.

[Will]

You already got me one. Thank you.

[Sherm]

That was actually our boy Derek.

[Will]

Deke. Deke.

[Sherm]

Who was absolutely killing it. Not to revisit stuff that we've already talked about, but it's got to be the trick or treating for me. Me. This past week, my cracker cold mom is just getting to watch the little kids absolutely slay. Was just a blast to get to see all the, like, laughs, all the magic at Halloween night, all the costumes. By the way, dude, a costume that we very much missed out on was severance themed costumes. I saw Hella and Mark costume and was like, oh, my God, did I strike out this year?

[Chef]

You just gave me the opportunity to say it. The costume that I saw online that I thought was the coolest thing ever was a couple's costume. The guy was dressed as Randy Johnson in a diamondback uniform, and the girl was dressed as a bird.

[Will]

No. That's awesome.

[Chef]

A little up, but I mean.

[Will]

I mean, that moment is one of the craziest moments in sports history.

[Chef]

Real doesn't make sense.

[Will]

Randy Johnson just throwing a heater and the bird perfectly flying in at the right moment, just getting disintegrated. A decent piece of that bird in their family.

[Sherm]

Control deleted the bird.

[Will]

Control deleted the bird.

[Sherm]

There was no carcass. There was just feathers.

[Will]

Yeah, my crack of Cole one's gonna go too. This was honestly a very subtle surprise. And I think I'll be able to try and use a couple broken things as we do the core values thing, because Charl and I went to this positive discipline kind of class workshop, seminar, whatever it is, for a couple hours on Saturday morning, and it was cool. Your Boy was locked in, engaged the entire two hours and trying not what to do at the school that Rue goes to offered it. And so there were several parents. And you're kind of sitting in a circle, kind of sitting in a circle. They have a couple speakers, a couple, like, people who are leading the entire thing, talking about positive discipline and going over goals and challenges and what positive discipline looks like. Like being kind and firm. Kind isn't nice. Firm isn't mean. Like, all these different scenarios to where I'm up there, they're giving roles. So I'm up there as the kid, like, hearing parents say, like, you know, they had scripts to read on what parents would say, and then I would react to where. How it would make me feel for what they're saying. So we did all these different, like, skits and learned a lot of cool things so my character could call. One goes to my wife getting me out and going to this positive discipline workshop because it was Saturday. Huskers were about to play that night. I wasn't, like, fully aware what we were going to be doing. And it turned out to be really cool.

[Sherm]

How up in the world.

[Will]

Yeah, there's apparently a positive discipline app. I'll say that for my survival kit. I haven't put it on my phone yet, but apparently there's this positive discipline app that you can download and it's got, like, you know, some teachings or learns that they give you kind of daily. But I would encourage, yeah, I would encourage parents, if there's like a positive discipline workshop or just like, parent workshops for you and your wife to go to, highly encourage, highly recommend. It was kind of one of those things, like, looking back on it, I thought is really cool because it's like, we're all very intentional for how we want to be better in our career with ourself, whether it's diet and working out, structure for our own self, for our own individual sanity, for our career. We have ambitions in our. Our career to where, hey, this is what our vision is. What does our process look like? What are things and places that I'm going to to learn and get better at my craft for work. You have the same thing with parenting, your relationships. You want to tap in and figure out, you know, if you feel like you're in a rut, relationship wise or in a marriage relationship wise. And people who are very intentional about whether it's getting it back on track, doing some, like, continued education or learning on having a better marriage or just like, checking in couples go and do that. And as I'm leaving and thinking about it. I'm thinking, this is no different. It's like we should be doing something like this a few different times a year, at least on us challenging ourself to learn something new. And then as we're driving home, kind of challenging ourselves. Here's what I'm thinking that my blind spots were. Here's one area where I want to get better in. Based on what I learned from the positive discipline workshop that we just did. Is there anything that. That you were hearing that I wasn't? I haven't said out loud yet because I would love to hear if you have any feedback for myself. And we're doing that kind of vice versa. So I just thought it was very cool in general. Now, we've already identified a couple things. I know me for myself. It's like the way I talk to Rue when she has a dress on and she looks super pretty. And all I do kind of as a dad is give her praise, because I don't necessarily know what else to kind of give her other than, oh, my gosh, you look so beautiful. And I'm just telling her all these praise things versus, like. Like, I could be asking her questions on why did you pick out that dress? Or I love those colors. What made you, like, you know, the color blue in this one?

[Sherm]

I love to get them kind of.

[Will]

Tap around and think about us to where you're not fully giving them their identity in. They're just coming to dad. Because Rue loves walking downstairs. She loves seeing the look on Dad's face. And I'm calling her pretty and beautiful all the time. And how can I. Because I want to say, I even brought papers over from the notes I took. Your boy over here taking notes.

[Sherm]

Look at that, dad.

[Will]

But changing my, like, praise to encouragement.

[Sherm]

Yeah.

[Will]

To get them opening their minds and thinking to where they're not sitting there tying their identity off of what dad has telling me anytime I think I look pretty, I want to go get that as words of affirmation.

[Sherm]

Yeah.

[Will]

So really cool. That's where my cracker Cole one goes to. We'll be able to dive into it more because there's, like, stuff that I'm leaving. I'm like, oh, we're doing a core values. We did, like, a core values thing for, quote, lesson, or topic. And I would just love to share some of the things I was learning in this class that helped give me a lot of, like, correlation and breaking things down to just kind of keep things simple. Because you think about values and the core values and all that. And it's like, how can we cover all this other than reading what people's values are being like, yeah, I love that. I love that value. Here's what mine would be. And then kind of just stopping there. But it'll be fun. It'll be fun to jump into.

[Sherm]

Very fun. And guys, just a reminder that crack a cold one segment was brought to us by Liquidite iv. Don't let the grind drain you. Ditch the glitch with zero sugar and zero crash from Liquid IV. Tear poor, live more and go to Liquid I.com and get 20% off your first order with code BUSIN at checkout. That's 20% off your first order with Code Busin@liquid I.com. 16 ounces of water. That's pretty hydrating, but it's even more hydrating when you got some Liquid iv in that 16 ounces of water.

[Will]

And just for clarity, you have comments or values?

[Sherm]

I have comments on.

[Will]

It's only values. Only comments on value. So let. Do we want to do the hotline?

[Chef]

We got 35 minutes, so I think we have time for one hotline and then we'll go into the values and that will end our show.

[Will]

Okay, sounds good. Perfect. And the only reason we're on a time crunch is we have an awesome guest coming into the shop that we're going to be doing an interview on. Busting with the boys. So that's the reason we're kind of in a structured, like, time zone. Willie C. Willie. One shelf chef cooking it up. Sherm.

[Sherm]

We got fast Stafford.

[Will]

I got a little dad hack for.

[Sherm]

You guys that I actually picked up.

[Will]

From my mom when I was a kid. Bomb.

[Sherm]

Hack.

[Will]

So you have a bunch of kids.

[Sherm]

Or even just one kid, you're trying.

[Will]

To save a little money. Your son, your daughter, 2, 3, 4 years old. You're going out to eat. You don't want to spend that extra money. $10 for a buffet, $15 for this buffet.

[Sherm]

No, sir.

[Will]

Let him know how old your kid is. Yep, he's three and under.

[Sherm]

How old is he actually? Four or five, but he looks three.

[Will]

They can't tell. They don't check ID.

[Sherm]

They don't have IDs yet.

[Will]

Let him know.

[Sherm]

We used to go to CC's Pizza.

[Will]

Chinese Buffets all the time as a kid. I was about 3 years old till I was 6. So save a few hundred a year that way. Maybe even thousand.

[Chef]

Yeah, just a little dad hack out there.

[Will]

Might not be the most ethical one.

[Chef]

But it'll Keep your pockets a little fatter.

[Will]

PT6 out, fellas. Yo, that's a great dad act. That's all time. That might be number one right now.

[Sherm]

They don't check IDs.

[Will]

Yeah, they don't have IDs, bro.

[Sherm]

That made me laugh to where I had tears in the side of my eyes. That was really funny, dude.

[Will]

He's three. He's got a mustache.

[Chef]

Imagine CC's gets a child bouncer sitting at the front.

[Sherm]

Let's see some id. Yeah, this doesn't cut it. I have a great video that I'll send you. You have to remind me of a guy doing that outside of a Toys R Us. It's one of the funniest videos I've ever seen of a kid bouncer, but yeah.

[Will]

Dude.

[Sherm]

Shout out CC's.

[Will]

Shout out CC's Pizza, man.

[Sherm]

Oh, my God. I wish I could go back to little League days and see a young Willie C. Just tear and a part of cc. Sweets, buddy, I bet you were a demon.

[Will]

Demon. The Creative pizzas. Oh, that's a Mac and cheese pizza. Let me get that.

[Sherm]

And I know you're just fist full of pizza with one hand and you're in the arcade zone.

[Will]

At RCCs, they had the little hockey game. You know how it's kind of like. What. What's the. What's the game? Yeah, like foosball. We're kind of moving the. Or you're kind of moving the hockey players around. That was a good game.

[Sherm]

That is a good game game. Shout out that caller too. I. I think he.

[Will]

What is it? The cinnamon rolls at CC's Pizza? Come on, man.

[Sherm]

Oh, yeah, we might. Hey, that might be our next pt6 meetup. Just saying.

[Chef]

Pizza still alive.

[Will]

Oh, it's gotta. Yeah, it's gotta.

[Sherm]

Got revamped. Oh, really?

[Will]

Yeah, we're talking about cc's pizza.

[Sherm]

We talking about all you can staple.

[Will]

What's the price of it now? I don't know.

[Chef]

It's probably sad if we looked.

[Will]

Yeah, I know. Back in my day, I want to say maybe six bucks, seven bucks. That's crazy. All you can eat pizza. Come on, man. Crazy can order cc. I mean, that's not.

[Sherm]

That ain't the experience that defeats the purpose.

[Will]

Yeah, it doesn't look like they do all you can eat anymore.

[Sherm]

Okay, well, we'll figure it.

[Will]

Yeah, we'll get into. We'll. We'll do some detective work with our fast ones.

[Sherm]

Will. 5.99. Wow.

[Will]

Nine. Nine ain't bad in this economy.

[Sherm]

PT6 meetup.

[Will]

CC's Pizza. We will shut it down.

[Sherm]

We will shut it.

[Will]

We will shut it down. We welcome all.

[Sherm]

We have our fast ones. I was thinking for the fast ones we can read names and then just kind of find in the comment like what that value is like. NM Cola 5600 says, Dreaming big, working hard, and staying humble. GL3 as 9 and just for.

[Will]

Just for context to people that are tapped in, a couple weeks ago we talked about what is a core value you would love to instill on your kid for the rest of time.

[Sherm]

Yes.

[Will]

And not to get overwhelmed. I know there's a bunch out there that everybody wants to do, but just to give us some. Some thought topics.

[Sherm]

Yeah.

[Will]

Stuff to give the audience from you guys.

[Sherm]

Absolutely. Do you want me to go into mine and then we can go boom, boom, boom on the fast ones?

[Will]

Sure. Yeah.

[Sherm]

So I said NM Cola 5600 on YouTube said, dreaming big, working hard and staying humble are the values they would want.

[Will]

I got one right here from Uncle Tony 2 on Instagram. Be the hardest worker in the room with whatever it is you're doing. It's very difficult to outperform hard work. Amen to that.

[Sherm]

Amen.

[Will]

Amen to that, Uncle Tony, man.

[Sherm]

GL3AS91 on YouTube said, Determination with a flex emoji.

[Will]

Got one here from Drew O990 on Instagram. Above all else, be kind.

[Sherm]

Peyton Headwall 3206 on YouTube said, Gratitude.

[Will]

Gratitude. And then I'm gonna write these down as well.

[Sherm]

Oh, I like that.

[Will]

Gratitude, hard work, kind of humble.

[Sherm]

The turning company on Instagram said, resilience.

[Will]

Resilience.

[Sherm]

That's.

[Will]

Yes, that's my favorite one. Resilience. I got one here from. From Weber. Leaf of value. Strength, emotionally, physically and brain power or. And brain power or whatever. I guess just value themselves.

[Sherm]

That's a PT6er right there. That's not an MT6. The big. The big Velvet on Instagram said, curiosity tempered with kindness.

[Will]

Curiosity. Oh, what? Just value your themselves, I guess. Just value themselves. Respect. Respect for themselves. Others in the journey for life. Ooh. So respect.

[Sherm]

And who did that? Who?

[Will]

That One came from roddy31 on Instagram.

[Sherm]

AJ Jacobson, 18 on Instagram said, courage and authenticity. I freaking. I love those.

[Will]

Yes.

[Sherm]

Courage and authenticity.

[Will]

Especially the authenticity.

[Sherm]

Great job, aj.

[Will]

I hear from one from Erect D. Erect D. Erect D on Instagram. Work ethic, talent and likability only get you so far. Those who put Their head down and grind will always rise to the top. Both my parents had excellent work ethic and were amazing examples to me. My wife's work ethic is impeccable. I hope I am upholding my part. Oh shout out Eric Especially giving credit Everywhere else.

[Sherm]

Stephen Barrera 49 on Instagram said accountability. Own everything you do or don't do.

[Will]

Accountability. Every day I ask my girls what are you? This is the. This is values homework from Hollow Hollow Point. Hollow Point 45 on YouTube. Here's the values homework. He even time stamped it the 2 hour 10 mark from a couple episodes ago. Every day I asked my girls what are you? Smart, strong, beautiful, flex muscles, point to the head, hand on cheeks to teach them when they're toddlers, what do you do? They respond. They respond. Pay attention, work hard, do the right thing. We've recently added how do we eat? Good Eat. Effort, attitude, toughness. That is fire one hollow point.

[Sherm]

Yeah, keep that one.

[Will]

That's a. That's a dad hack for everybody too. What are you? Strong, smart, beautiful. What do you do? Pay attention. Work hard, do the right thing. How do we eat? Effort, attitude, toughness.

[Odoo Advertiser]

Eat.

[Sherm]

Dude, those girls are so lucky. They got, they got some parents like that. I love that he comments on almost everything we post too. Especially so big sicko Hollow point. Thank you for being a sicko. Dude, it sounds like you're incredible dad as well. H GRE on Instagram said persistence. If I had to pick one, I want her to be a dog. Fight for whatever she wants, needs and finds a way to make it happen.

[Will]

So you have, we have Metz Camfield here. Value the process more than the results. If you work hard and treat people well, that's a great process and should be all you need to focus on. You can only control your controllables and you can't control the results. But having a sound process such as treating people well and working hard will put you in a great position to be successful. So I'm going to write down process over results. What I'm going to try and do here. If I can regurgitate or brokenly put together some of the things I was learning in this positive discipline class. So one thing we went over at the very start was like everybody like the class had to answer like what are challenges that you're currently going through as a parent? And so you have people like Sherm, if I were to ask you what is a challenge right now as a parent that your kiddo is giving you a challenge with? You have a four month old so that's kind of hard. But if there was one, like, let's brainstorm challenges that are out there for me. I stood up. They're like, if you could. If you can break it down and not give us a few sentences, but if it was a headline in a newspaper, what would it be? And I was like. I said whining. The epidemic that's taking us all down as parents and using. So whining and using your strong voice was one for Rue.

[Sherm]

A couple.

[Will]

Okay, so, like, we had whining. You had. We had, like, breakdowns at the grocery store. Breakdown. Like, breakdowns. Tantrums. Give me some more, Sherm.

[Sherm]

Mine is during feeds, just not wanting to feed. Like, fighting the feed back, I guess.

[Will]

So we can say generally if we're. If we're grouping it together with, like, toddlers or older kids. Like, yeah, dinner time.

[Sherm]

Oh, dinner time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like that. Bedtime, I would say, is. Has. It hasn't been a full challenge, but there are. It's difficult.

[Will]

Like, and that one is one that will very much spike up when they. You know, when they're, like, getting more aware and they're becoming toddlers and everything else. Y. Not getting what they want.

[Sherm]

Yes, dude.

[Will]

Moms are speaking up. And it was like a Mom was just saying the challenge that she was having, which I think all parents go through, but it's like, mom is the comfort zone, so they cling to mom a lot.

[Sherm]

Oh, dude. That I'm.

[Will]

During times where they're breaking down and everything else, it's like, mom is the one that gets drained. Because mom is, like, seen as a safe space.

[Sherm]

Dude, I'm going through that big right now where Scarlet. When Scarlet's in a temper tantrum type thing, she does not want dad. She wants jelly. Because in.

[Will]

Yeah, yeah, bro. It's.

[Sherm]

We.

[Will]

Yeah, we battle. We battle that, too. It's like, Rue, I'll be in the bedroom. Like, say we just got done eating dinner. I came across this, like, this water flosser.

[Sherm]

Oh, yeah.

[Will]

Or just shoots through your. Shoots through your teeth. Yeah, I love it. So when I get done eating dinner, we had some beef last night. So I had some. Some beef stuck in the molars back there. So I'm going in and using the flosser.

[Sherm]

Yep.

[Will]

So it's around 7 o'. Clock. We're about to start prepping for bedtime. Rue walks her little ass in. In to the bathroom, and she's like, dad, are you doing bedtime tonight? And I was like, you know, as I'm going. I know she asks this every night because she wants mom, do you want daddy to do bedtime tonight? No. Why don't you want that at do bedtime? I want mama to do bedtime. All right, Go tell Mama. But as a small example, it was mom's turn to do bedtime. Yeah, but just as a small example of like, this clinging to mom as just always mom is what they want at all. Like, I'll go up to wake her up in the morning and be like, where's? I want to see Mom. And I'll be like, mom's at work right now. It's day. You know, dad has getting you out of bed and getting you going this morning. Did you sleep well? I want Mama. I don't want to get out of bed. And it's just. It's just a fight all the time. Not like a fight all the time, but just a lot of whining, a lot of things. It's like, I want mom in this situation. I see on mom, too. It's draining because mom's always got to be.

[Sherm]

It's got to be the one that's like.

[Will]

That's like their self soothe is going to Mom.

[Sherm]

Yeah.

[Will]

Okay. So what I gathered from this is first we talked about what challenges we went across, and then it was all about, all right, now that we have our challenges list that they're writing on the board, doing some whiteboard work and some note work. Then it was they were going around the classroom and saying, what are goals that you have for your kid? Like, imagine talking to your kid in 30 years. They're 35 years old. What goals or what would you want them to represent? What characteristics? So essentially the values and the goals that we've been sitting here talking about. So people are going around the room. And my one was resilience, because I love resilience above most. I love a lot of core values. But resilience always stands out to me because life is always going to be unfair to you, and it's always about how you respond to when life hits you in the mouth. So if I could teach anything to my daughters, it would be mine. Was resilience that I gave. And so we just use our list from breaking it down into one word by everybody that chimed in, in, we have on our list kind, gratitude, hard work, humble dream, big resilience, curiosity, respect, courage, authenticity, accountability, eat, effort, attitude, toughness, process over results. So we have our list sitting here where we have our challenges list. Things you're kind of going through as a Parent, I would encourage you and your wife to kind of talk about what challenges you might be going through towards like things that you can tap into. Because this is going to be a full circle reminder on how you can go about handling like those next situations together as a team. Lock an arm. But we have the challenges. Whining, breakdowns and tantrums, dinner time, not getting what they want, bedtime and clinging to mom. So as a, there's a quote that I said a while back that a gentleman gave me somebody that was associated with the school and I was kind of meeting him for the first time at the park when Rue was going around and playing with the kids. And he gave me this quote to where it's like, it's those moments where whether you're trying to get their shoes on, they're pissed about what clothes they want to wear, shoes, yada, yada, yad. Talking to them in the next 30 seconds the way you want to see them 30 years down the road instead of the short term animal brain. We all get resisted, we all get upset about things. It's like when I'm sitting there trying to put Ru in the car seat and everything else, a moment is happening and it's how you grab to the goals and the values that we have. Connecting with the goals versus correcting the challenges. So connection over correction. So in those 30, in that 30 second spanner, it could be a few minutes long as you're sitting there with your child, breaking it down and trying to mold them into these human beings they want, we want them to be based on all these values. It's, how can you connect with them away in those 30 seconds or in those tough moments that isn't going to correct the next 30 seconds, but mold them into what you want them to be in the next 30 years. So I, I thought that was like a good full circle thing. And the way I broke it down in my mind for, for the day ads is that middle space right here is good.

[Sherm]

Yeah.

[Will]

Whining, good. Breakdowns, tantrums, good. Dinner time, they don't want to eat their food, they're negotiating with you. They want a cookie, they're not going to eat. You're going to have to sit there at the dinner table with them for a while and they're giving you a hard time. Good. Not getting what they want. You're going to the grocery store, they want a toy. You're trying to teach them the value of a dollar. Just teach them. Anytime you walk in somewhere, you're not going to Pick out something, something. And they're giving you a lot of trouble about that in front of everybody. You feel embarrassed. Good. Are you going to snap and try and correct the behavior for just 30 seconds and just be very, like, disconnected? Or are you going to connect with them about, hey, I know you really want this, and right now we're not buying anything. So, you know, then like me, I would think. I know you really want this right now. And we're not here to buy anything. So help Daddy, I really need your help picking out X, Y and Z. Can you help me go find that? Try and redirect their brain a little bit and then I'll follow up in the car. Hey, the reason why we don't buy things at the grocery store is yada, yada, yada, yada. Whatever value you're wanting to instill and connect with them when their brain is ready to go.

[Sherm]

Yeah.

[Will]

Because they're also teaching you, like the brain, like with the hand. When everything gets. When everything gets heightened, your brain is like this. Like the emotional part of the brain is firing. Nobody's learning, nobody's connecting. Nobody wants to hear what you have to say or talk. It's just about how do you. You not match that energy as a parent, Keep poise and keep control here and get them to where now they're in a calm state and you can talk to them about what happened and what a moment and an opportunity we now have to teach them a good value or start instilling those values and start molding them into the adults we hope that they become one day. So I thought it was very good and just to go off this giving you a hard time at bedtime. Good. Clinging to mom. You see your daughter, your son clinging to mom in moments where it's like, it kind of pisses me off right now as a dad. Mad that they're. It's almost like you're taking it as a sign of disrespect to where at times I've been more of like, standoff. She's like, fine, go to mom. Or I just act mad in front of Rue to let her know she hurt my feelings, which is what am I trying to accomplish right there as a grown ass adult when my kid is losing her mind or she's wanting mom and just not me in that moment.

[Sherm]

Yeah, yeah.

[Will]

I'm not doing anything conducive to either of us. Or I'm just. I'm being as petty as she is.

[Sherm]

Yeah.

[Will]

So I'm like removing myself. I'm removing Myself from it versus is just staying in the pocket, staying present, letting her know, hey, sweetheart, I know you really want mom right now and whenever the time calls for you to want a hug from dad, I would really love to read you a story. If you want dad to read you a story, I will come back upstairs and read you a story. I know you don't want me to right now, and that's okay, but just, I'm going to be right outside. So you just let dad. Dad know. That usually comes full circle to you. At some point, they might use mom up and then, hey, I'm going to get the second parent dad in right now. But you just start bridging that gap of those moments of frustration instead of leaning into the correction of every challenge challenge that parents go through. All of this stuff right here, it's good in your brain and you. We have to think, how can we connect with our kids to find these moments of opportunity to teach them what we want them to be in the future. Yes.

[Sherm]

And having the values. I love this strategy from the standpoint of having those values. That right column, if you want to show them again, will of let's say with dinner time time and she's not eating. Not only the not eating part, I'm sure is frustrating, but if you're wanting them to have curiosity and trying new foods, like, what. What is the end goal? And being able to identify a value that you want them to exhibit, it's not only how can I get them to eat, but how can I have them be more, you know, have a more curious palette. And I know that that's like a weird example, but.

[Will]

But also like, it's like, you know, the whole thing of positive discipline. And it's like, you know, it's like one of those things like when you were in the army back in the day, skills and soft skills. Back in the day, the hard skills is what men wanted to do. It was the guns, it was the flying, the helicopters, it was the shit that sounded manly. Now that we know over time, with a lot of data and everything else, we've realized that the soft skills are where the success comes from for people. When those hard skills are done and gone and you can't do them anymore, do you have those soft skills developed? Whether it's with people, whether it's with communicating, whether it's understanding what empathy looks like, like the whole just being kind thing, being kind and firm. But so I say that to say, like, I don't know how positive discipline comes off the lips to some parents, because there's a lot of old school parents that might hear positive discipline. What a weird way to just be. Like, you know, to not try and discipline your kids. You want to be in a really kind, hey, here's a ribbon way. It's not that at all. It's like when you're learning to be kind and firm in a dinner example, it's like, hey, I can sit here and talk kindly to my child and be very firm about what the boundary is. Sweetheart, there is no piece of a cookie if you don't eat your dinner and how the food can be nutritious to your body. Like, you're trying to teach them, like, why it's important to eat your food, why we sit down as a family and we eat dinner together. Why there's no options of a buffet that you get to choose from, or you get to eat pasta or chicken nuggets every night. You're going to eat what is being served. There's going to be values that you learn in that. And if you want to give us a very hard time about it, instead of lashing back at them or being very corrective in the state just because you're frustrated, you're trying to teach them what those lessons are and teach them that, hey, your opportunity to eat is now. And if you do want this dangly carrot at the end of the tunnel, like, that doesn't happen unless you're part of the clean plate club or unless you do eat. And if they give you a very hard time and they don't want to eat, they're not going to starve. Going into nighttime. That was one that my wife and I are going back and forth on. I was like, I was kind of glad to hear the lady talk about, your kid's not going to starve. Because Char would think, like, she needs to get something in her stomach at some point. Because what we'll do is she'll manipulate. She'll choose, all right, I'll go to bed and not eat dinner. She'll go up to bed, and then all of a sudden, after her hair is brushed and her teeth are brushed, it's, I'm hungry, I want a snack. So then you feel like you got to give them something because they didn't eat dinner. Where it's. Now we understand that there's even an extra layer of the boundary there to like, hey, sweetheart, you missed out on your opportunity. There are natural consequences in life. There are logical consequences in life, and you kind of gave them a logical consequence. We Explained what had to be done or what you needed to do. Yeah, you failed to do so. You say in any way you want to, you failed to do so. Tomorrow we'll have another opportunity to eat in the morning for breakfast. You have the other opportunity. That's why we pack your lunch to go to school. School. We know you eat your lunch when it's time that you get that 30, 20, 30 minute window at school, and then it's the same thing for dinner. But it's a way to be the whole positive discipline, learning how to be kind and firm. Those words that like, come off your lips as a man doesn't feel tough, it doesn't feel masculine. Yeah, you feel like a man. It's like, oh, this is a way to coddle this next generation. To where I'm sitting there, open minded, learning as much as I possibly can, taking notes and everything. And I'm walking away like, man, that is some really good shit to understand. Because even psychologically, they're teaching you to use the as soon as not if, then if you eat your food, then you'll get your cookie. Hey, as soon as you eat your food, you will get your cookie. And getting away from adding and, and not but like saying all the things and then saying, but you didn't do X, Y and Z. Therefore, blah blah, blah, blah, blah. Because even psychologically, as humans, if you read any negotiation book, they teach a skill, a soft skill of using and, and not. But because most adults, when you hear, whether it's an apology or a conversation, you hear everything up to the but. But. Then when the but comes, everything before the but, you forget about whatever the compliment was. Because now you're focused on the negative outcome.

[Sherm]

Yep.

[Will]

Versus, hey, this happened. And here's what we do. It kind of like rewire it weirdly like we rewires your brain. So I'm walking away from this workshop being like, yo, this shit is awesome. I'm all about it. So I hope you guys got something out of that. I love sitting there for two hours, kind of breaking all this stuff down, figuring like, hey, how can I come into for the dads and give whatever I can what I learned? Again, I would highly encourage any couple, any parent out there to go to a positive discipline course or any type of workshop in the world of parenting. Because I was fired up, Char and I kind of walked away kind of fired up together a couple fist pounds on things that we feel like we do well. Hey, here are things that we can get better, better at. I'm immediately My brain immediately went to a dad was like, you know, people, like, I hate to say, I'm proud of you, because they have, you know, their own background or own upbringing. Something like, I'm proud of you, like, kind of triggers them, you know? Like, I know I say to my kid, and I kind of hate that I say to my kid, you do? No, this was another dad. This was another bringing it up. And so that got into the conversation of praise versus encouragement. And I'm sitting there, I'm like, Like, you know, they're sitting there wearing dresses. Dad's not a big dress guy. There's kind of this battle back and forth at home that dad doesn't want her to wear dresses. She loves to wear dresses. So he kind of doesn't know what to say or how to handle it. So it kind of opened up that conversation on praise and encouragement to where I'm sitting there. I'm like, I do this all the time because I almost don't know. I know Ru feels pretty. I'm glad she feels pretty. She loves. She's a lady. When she sees the look on Dada's face of being beautiful and, oh, my gosh, you're so beautiful. But I'm sitting there and I'm like, I know that in the long run, that's not. I'm not wanting her just to know that you show up and somebody tells you that you're beautiful. That what. That's what makes you feel beautiful is an external being or another person or something else telling you that you're beautiful. So I'm, like, getting equipped with some of these tools of, like, you know, oh, my gosh, look at that dress. How does that. How does the dress make you feel? Or, like, why did you pick out those colors? Just asking her questions to encourage her to speak on what makes her feel so good in the outfit that she's working wearing. Long rant. Long.

[Sherm]

No, that's a great. It's a great rant. And if anything, it's just an example of communication.

[Will]

The.

[Sherm]

The communication with your child, the communication with your partner. Gotta have an open line of communication in order to succeed as a team. And I love this strategy from the standpoint of all it is doing is opening that line of communication that what do we want? What values do we want our child to have? How are we going to go about having them exhibit those values? How are we going to go about fixing these things? What are some things that I don't do very well? What are some things that I have been Doing well. You have to be communicating at all times because when you are in the trenches, you get stuck in. In the same routine. Same routine. If I check these things off, if they eat, piss and go to bed, I did it.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Sherm]

You know, and hey, it may have been hell and I had a terrible day, but we're gonna wake up, we're just gonna do it again, whatever. And you get stuck in those cycles. I love that it's getting broken up by announce, you know, Analysis of how did I do today? What did. What could I get better on?

[Will]

Yeah. To go off the communication and having that open mind in, like, welcoming blind spots that you could have there. You know, there are definitely parents. I can be one of those at times to where there might be a judgment that I'm feeling, to where it's like, I'll parent how I want to parent versus actually sitting with myself. Is anything they're saying of substance to where I can check myself or look into a different formula or a concept. But, yeah, that's the thing. The biggest takeaway is in those moments of challenge. How do you keep yourself from correcting the next 30 seconds and connecting to a value you want to instill over the next 30 years? That was the biggest takeaway from this workshop for myself. And yeah. Hope everybody. Hope everybody enjoyed the episode. Good. Sewed great.

[Sherm]

Zode.

[Will]

Good. So it's good.

[Sherm]

So and so. Yours was resilience, correct?

[Will]

Mine was resilience.

[Sherm]

Okay, cool.

[Will]

What was yours?

[Sherm]

Confidence. But, like, with. Coupled with humility and strength, coupled with kindness.

[Will]

I love that. And I'm totally sorry for not having that and, like, writing it down on the list or just checking in on my boy of like, hey, what was your value?

[Sherm]

No, you're fine.

[Will]

I kind of just. It kind of got away from me. I just got going. I'm sitting here, I'm like, this is all very broken. I'm also very excited to talk about it. I didn't prep for how to talk about it.
