Episode Overview

This episode of For The Dads—Bussin’ With The Boys’ segment focused on fatherhood—dives deep into the rollercoaster ride of family life during the holidays. The boys talk Thanksgiving chaos, sickness going through the household, emotional moments with their kids, hilarious fails (including the invented medical condition “Falconia”), and they share practical “dad hacks” for getting kids in the family photo. The team also reads out heartfelt listener submissions (both hilarious and heavy), unpacks dad wins and losses, and delivers real, unfiltered talk about the joys and trenches of being a present dad.

Key Segments & Discussion Points

1. Life in the Trenches: Thanksgiving Madness & Family Sickness

• Sick Cycle Struggles (18:41-25:20)
  • Both Will and Sherman recount surviving Thanksgiving week where everyone (kids, wife, nanny, sitter) gets hit with waves of illness—vomiting, hives, even lice.
  • Memorable line:

    “It truly becomes a cycle—you get one person sick then it just keeps going. In a family of four, your house is just flu-ridden for a month.”
    —Will Compton (24:55)

• Dad Resilience
  • Both hosts reflect on the mental battle of solo parenting during sick season, keeping composure, and the endless curveballs.
  • “Wash your hands. Wash your hands. Wash your hands and just wash your hands.” (Will, 25:22)

2. Thanksgiving Recap & Family Connections

• Holiday Highlights (5:01-7:48)
  • Will shares the comfort of spending Thanksgiving at Taylor’s, connecting with Ryan Nolan’s family, and feeling that “aunt/mom” warmth away from home.
  • Sherman shouts out Brightside Bakery for “magical” pastries and relishes good family vibes.
  • Boys discuss the massive success of their YouTube and shorts (7:28-8:10):
    “We got two shorts at 2.5 million views… the one with the uncles racing, it’s at three and a half [million] right now.”
• Sibling Bonds (38:56-40:01)
  • Chef shares how Thanksgiving allowed him to bond on a new level with his brother, “genuinely the best Thanksgiving I’ve ever had with him.”

3. Dad Community Shoutouts & Listener Contributions

• Voicemail & Email Wins and Losses (12:41-16:17, 58:31-62:39, 66:09-68:05)

  • Dads write in about first-time parenting, newborns in the NICU, solo parenting, enduring major health scares with spouses, and shifting their perspectives.
  • Notable submission:

    “My firstborn son, Carson, is two months old. Was born six weeks early in the NICU. A week later I quit my job and went all in on my business. You guys, and the PT6 community, have brought nothing but positivity, perspective, and encouragement right when I needed it.”
    —Jake Davison (15:05-16:17)

  • Hosts highlight the power of being real and vulnerable as dads, especially when nobody else seems to notice the daily grind.

• Community Dad Hacks & Recipes (12:29-13:41)

  • Chobani sweet cream + banana cream Olipop is a hit: “Buddy, it rips. Shout out jelly bean for the recipe.” —Brandon Moffat 9 (12:31)

• Dad Toolbox // Perspective Shift

  • “I don't have to do these things. I get to do these things.” —Listener Kevin Kuklinski on co-parenting during the first separate holiday (58:56-60:46)

4. Dad Hacks: Family Photos with Toddlers

• ELITE Dad Hack (52:48-54:47)
  • Don’t ask your toddler directly to take a family photo—just make it seem fun and let them join in out of fear of missing out.

    “If you have a three-year-old or an abrasive toddler that doesn’t want to take photos, you just tell them you’re going to take a photo with someone else and start doing it. They’ll run in because they don’t want to miss out.” (Sherman, 53:48-54:19)

  • “That’s called the law of the picnic. It’s a lot harder to talk somebody into coming with you, but if you set up all the food and it looks good, people just want to join.” —Will (54:35-54:47)
• Swing Hack: If your kid won’t pause to get off the swing for the photo, let them stand on the swing to make the pic fun and keep them involved.

5. Dad Life: Joys, Struggles & Little Victories

• Cherished Small Moments (74:51-75:58)
  • Will tells a touching story about his daughter, Scotty:

    “She stops what she’s doing… walks around the coffee table, comes over, gives me a kiss. And then looks at my hand—she wants me to do three squeezes. One, two, three—I love you. It melted your boy.” (75:19-75:47)

• Parenting Through Sickness, Work, and Emotional Exhaustion
  • Honest reflections on being “fully drained” from solo parenting on holidays, but also recognizing the simple, precious wins.
  • Celebrations for small victories, like successful Santa visits, sentimental ornaments, and holiday traditions.
• Community and Not Feeling Alone
  • Multiple listeners write in about deep struggles—from separated families navigating tense holidays to parents of preemies and medical scares—sharing gratitude for PT6 for making them not feel alone in the trenches.

6. Lighthearted Moments & Running Gags

• Falconia?
  • Hilarious confusion around “meconium aspiration syndrome” (“Falconia” is a fictional city in an anime, not a medical condition)—reflecting the self-admitted “we’re just dads, not experts” mentality.
• Merchandise Mania & Papa Team 6
  • Dads going above and beyond to wear their PT6 shirts at the hospital for new baby photos; stories of running home to get the shirt for the pic.
• Laughs about Olipop, Cream Soda obsessions, and sneaky Target missions.

• Shifting Perspective:

  “I get to do this. Thank you for all the advice, support, and love. PT6.”
  —Listener Kevin Kuklinski (58:56)

You were sleeping. I was like, she still woke me up, didn't she? Because we were sitting there going back and forth about the amounts of sleep we got. I'm like, oh, just, honey, you didn't have to clown. I'm like, well, they steal. You still woke me up each time, honey.

[Will Compton]

Remember I sat up and I was like, hey, do you need any help? And you're like, no, I'm good. And so I was like, oh, okay.

[Sherman]

You're good, sweetheart. You know why? I timed my. Hey, do you need any help? When I knew you were done with everything and you just look like. No, everything's taken care of. I'm all right, sweetheart. Let's go back to bed.

[Will Compton]

Oh, you're already done. It's all cleaned up. Go, you, last one. Do you have any more?

[Sherman]

No, I don't have any more. That one right there, you kind of flipped it. That seems like a long.

[Will Compton]

This is a long one.

[Sherman]

Buckle up.

[Will Compton]

This is Jake Davison. Hey, fellas. Just wanted to take a minute to say thank you for what you're doing. Your podcast has been a lifeline for me these past couple of months. My firstborn son, Carson, is two months old. He was born six weeks early and spent the first month of his life in the nicu. A week after he was born, I quit my job and decided to go all in on my business. My former employer wasn't willing to give me the time off I needed and completely disregarded what my family was going through. That moment pushed me to choose my family first and bet on myself. These last few months, I have been some of the hardest and most meaningful days of my life. Juggling late night feeds, NICU visits, figuring out how to launch a business from scratch, and trying my best. And trying my best to take care of my wife as we adjust to everything. It's been a lot, but you guys in the PT6 community have brought nothing but positivity, perspective, and encouragement right when I needed it. Thank you for showing up every week, for being real, and for creating a space that reminds dads like me that we're not alone. I'm grateful for you guys in the community that you're building. Keep doing what you're doing. It matters. Jake Davison via email.

[Sherman]

Jake, thank you, bro. Thank you for that email, man.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, that's.

[Sherman]

That's a war right there.

[Will Compton]

Oh, yeah, dude.

[Sherman]

Trying to start a business from scratch. NICU visits, late night feeds. Just. Just how all that weighs on you.

[Will Compton]

That. Yeah, that's got to be the constant and just like all the different punches in that of like, boss isn't willing to help with the. The. And, you know, taking the silver lining of it of using that as an excuse of, hey, I've always wanted to start my business. Maybe now's the time. Yeah, but that's still so hard.

[Sherman]

Oh, yeah, that's what too. Where like the boys like you could be consoling with somebody and There could be giving you, be it some advice or encouragement or whatever. And it just goes through one ear, not the other because you're. You just feel like, ain't nobody coming to save me here except myself.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

Like, ain't nobody. Ain't nobody there for me. At the end of the day, when I'm laying my head on that pillow, wifey's going through it, I'm going through it. Everybody's going through it. And it. It. It's awesome that he finds some. He finds some joy listening to the boys.

[Will Compton]

Yes, that does. That makes it feel worth it. On the nights where we're up here at 9:00 and we're tired, but, like, it is still fun. It is still like a.

[Sherman]

Tired of grinding, being a beast, tired.

[Will Compton]

Of being a badass dad that has to come home and hear his wife go. That's not at all how it went. And I'm not just talking about you, I'm talking about me.

[Sherman]

Oh, dude, it happens. That's what, you know, you forget some parts of the story sometimes. Matter of fact. Oh, man. Buddy, there's a. There's a comment. Somebody came. Somebody had a perfect one. There we go.

[Will Compton]

Hey, what'd they say?

[Sherman]

It's from mighty Dr. 82. This one's on YouTube. When my wife questions or scoffs at the accuracy of my stories, I just remind her. I refuse to let a little exaggeration get in the way of a good story edit. She saw me write this and said, you've literally never said that before. There you go.

[Will Compton]

Who's that from?

[Sherman]

Mighty Dr. 82.

[Will Compton]

Great comment. That's fantastic.

[Sherman]

What's funny too, is I didn't even read the edit part. I saw that and I was like, I'll have to bring that in there. Whenever I'm like, hey, hand up. I wasn't up there. What? Just gotti peeped on herself.

[Will Compton]

That makes it even better when it. It's like an actual edit. That means that he literally had to go back and put on there. Like, his wife literally read that and said, you'd never.

[Sherman]

Yeah, you've never said that in your life, but that's a great comment. Yeah, dude. The week we had last week, overall, just in the trenches a little bit. Balancing like Thanksgiving and everything else. Obviously, I was on the pod last week. You good, Sherman? Do you need to. Need to get you right?

[Will Compton]

You got. You just got me something special. By the way, you're looking at that cup. That cup is for later in the show. Oh, perfect. Don't drink that Yet. Okay.

[Sherman]

I was looking for some reinforcements, maybe a little liquid, maybe something to wet.

[Will Compton]

He was looking for liquid courage. Yeah, yeah.

[Sherman]

He's, like, looking around. What do you got?

[Will Compton]

What do you got?

[Sherman]

But, bro, the week we had, obviously, I was on the pod last week talking about everybody being sick and everything else. And when we shot the pod, was Char. Was Charles sick, too? Was Charles sick yet? In that podcast?

[Will Compton]

She was.

[Sherman]

So she just started getting sick. And I want to say it was two Monday, Tuesday, whenever our nanny, she's pregnant. I tell that story, too, where Danny was pregnant. She couldn't come over. We need to get the sitter over. Sitter came in. Clutch. Sitter traveled home to go. To. Go back home to Louisiana for Thanksgiving. She got bopped by the sickness. Yeah, she got bought by the sickness. Next morning, I want to say it was Wednesday morning. Our nanny, she's coming over Wednesday morning. She's like, I can do Wednesday. I feel comfortable coming over. Yada, yada, yada. She walks in the house. I'm standing there. Ruse going to the bathroom. I'm like, doing the morning routine and everything else. I want to say. Charles, out of the house by this point during the morning routine, like, Rue's going to the bathroom. Scotty stand there. I'm trying to keep her from, like, climbing up on the. On the. On the step stool. Stepping stool. Get the sink. And I'm like, Scotty, like, go, go, go, go in rus room. Where are you going? And I turn around, look. And I thought she puked on the ground.

[Will Compton]

Oh, no.

[Sherman]

She on the ground. Runs just on the ground. And I'm. Nanny walks in. There's a part of me in my mind, I'm like, should I tell her to get out of here? Because I'm thinking symptoms are over. Yeah, she doesn't want to get sick because she's. Because she's pregnant. I'm like, upstairs, like, I put Scotty in the. I put Scotty in the sink. And I'm just, like, washing her off with the faucet water and everything, because I'm not trying to touch it. I'm like, yeah, I get weird about, like, oh, my God, there's everywhere. It runs everywhere. I'm like, hold myself back from throwing up. Like, Audrey, are you here? So, yeah, I'm here. I'm like, hey, we got a bit of a deal going on upstairs. And Charles, Charlotte eventually comes in the house because Audrey's helping me out. And Charles, like, are you sure you're comfortable being here? And she's like, yeah, No, I feel good. She gets popped on Thanksgiving, bro. So everybody.

[Will Compton]

Everybody goes.

[Sherman]

Everybody goes down. Everybody goes down on Thanksgiving. Obviously. We had a kind of a late night on Thanksgiving, staying over at the lawns. We kind of stayed past bedtime. Yeah, we're all fussy. We're trying to rush them home. They're screaming, we get him down. It was all handled. Well, next day, Charles breaks out. Full body hives. Full body hives all over her body. Oh, my God, everywhere, bro. It started off as like a little rash or whatever. She's like, man, it could have been something like, do they have like, I think, do they have cats over there? Like, Charles got a cat allergy.

[Will Compton]

Oh, they have a brand new cat. Or not brand new, but a newer cat. Yeah, they were telling me.

[Sherman]

And so it was in a couple spots where at first we were thinking cat, but then it was starting to go. It was literally all over body. Hives all over her body. We don't know if it's something she ate, but she doesn't have like a food allergy or anything like that. Yeah, it gets bad enough to where your whole body's covered. She goes into urgent care just to get it. Look, just to get it checked out, make sure everything's all good. She was fine. Like, they like offered her a steroid. She said no to that. And then she comes home, but she was in hives. Then Friday night, we're doing R's bedtime, and Charles finds lice in her hair. She comes. One point, she comes on. She. I forget when Rue comes home, but we find lice in her hair. So we're upstairs. I got the light on at night time. It's Friday night. Trying to find these life. We. We get like. We get like four of them out. Charges this professional to come over to the house on Saturday morning. She does the whole thing where she goes through all of her heads. Your boy's good. They apparently likes. Don't like men. They don't like the testosterone that we carry. We're a little too hot for life. So we're never. It's always like for. I think it's like just girls, like younger, younger girls. Predominantly Caucasian girls that lights just cling to racist. And that's. That's what I was looking up. And Charlotte didn't have any. Scotty was fine. I was fine. It was just Rue. So we got stuff in the freezer overnight. We're getting all this stuff in the. In the. The washer and dryer and everything. It was a deal. And then on. It was either Saturday or Sunday morning. I can't. All the days are running together right now. Charles starts to get a little bit of a cold again. She's fine now. But we did. It was. It felt like one day after another. Boom, boom, boom. And then you love. Like, we got home. I got home on Wednesday afternoon, and I just could not wait for the Thanksgiving weekend. Yeah. We didn't have to go to espn. We didn't have to stream. We didn't have any obligations as far as content goes other than. Other than promoting the Black Friday stuff.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

So it's just like, you know, you're watching TV late. You're. You're, you know, you're sleeping. You're, like, kind of sleeping in. Kids come downstairs. Like, you're having all the family time in the world. But on Thanksgiving break and everything like that. Dude, on Saturday and Sunday, when you got the kiddos, you're kind of like, like, craving to come back to work because you. It's just been you and the fam for, like, four days in a row. Yeah, sure. And I got out of the house last night. God bless her. Her parents, they come over after traveling to the east coast all week. They give, they draw. They're driving. They drive back on Saturday. And Derek, I know you did as well.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, that's right.

[Sherman]

They drive back on Saturday, turn around Sunday, come over to the house, watch the kids. John. I dip. We leave from, like, like 4 to about 6:37. Got out of the house and went and got some. Got some dinner, just took a little breather. Talked about the week coming up. Kind of excited to go get back in the routine of everything. So that way Ruth can go to school and we get some help back over. Everybody's healthy now. Knock on wood. Your boy didn't get snipped, though.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, you're. You look good.

[Sherman]

Your boy did not get sniped. You don't get time. Don't have time. Yeah, you told me. You said it last week. We don't have time to get sick.

[Will Compton]

No, we don't.

[Sherman]

But for whatever reason, I came out unscathed, bro. Came out on scathe. Slept in the pukes. Like the house money over here.

[Will Compton]

You really have been dodging bullets. That's crazy.

[Sherman]

Yeah, it was a. It was a weekend, man.

[Will Compton]

It. It can truly become a cycle, too. Jill has talked about it before, like, in a family, especially a family of four, where the. Yeah, the virus. Derek's over there going like that. But it literally just keeps on keeping on. And this Person gets sick, then this person, then this person, then this person. It could be like a month long. Where your house is just flu ridden.

[Sherman]

Yeah, yeah.

[Will Compton]

Wash your hands. Wash your hands. Wash your hands and just wash your hands.

[Sherman]

The virus comes from school. Got the little one.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

Got mom.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

Got the sitter. Got the nanny. One by one by one. And I'm just in the corner kind of waiting. Is it gonna happen to me? Never touch me.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, we have. We've only had one scare so far with daycare. And it was like a little email that was like, hey, one of the kids might have ringworm. Look out for the ringworm.

[Sherman]

Watch out for the ring ringworm. And wrestling, wrestling with the kids.

[Will Compton]

We're just wrestling. But it ended up being like some little spot.

[Sherman]

You gotta be careful, man. One time I was, I was wiping Roux. Maybe I didn't wash my hands after. And then I caught pink eye. Yeah. Cleaning room. Maybe a little bit got on me.

[Will Compton]

I don't know.

[Sherman]

Wiping my eyes.

[Will Compton]

This is next.

[Sherman]

I know pink eye.

[Will Compton]

This is such a gross story. But is a. It's a good lesson if you have pets in the home is don't leave waters out, like for a long time and then like drink it later. Because I had a roommate with a cat in college and I got this nasty case of ringworm and I go get it checked and the doctor's like, do you have any pets in the home? And I was like, yeah, I do. He's like, yeah, we'll go check the pet for ringworm. And then do you leave like waters by your nightstand and leave your door open at all? Maybe the cat got in and like drank out of your nightstand water. And then you drank it and sure enough, the cat just had this like massive ringworm on its belly. And I was like, dude, never again. Never again. And Jill's probably listening to this and it's like, Sherman, you leave waters on your nightstand all the time. The dogs can't get up there. We don't have a cat. So I already beat her to her giving me notes.

[Sherman]

When I get, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I just want to remind everyone how good Rasheed Rice was last season. In these three healthy games, he was the wider receiver. Two in fantasy, I think Rashid Rice just goes off this week.

[Sherman]

The Chiefs come on a flip pass to Rice near side touchdown.

[Will Compton]

Ramandre Stevens is my sleeper this week. This is a matchup where I think I can slide in Stevenson in my flex position and he could deliver double digit points this week. Drake takes the snap, hands it off for Madre, running it right and running into the end zone.

[Sherman]

Touchdown.

On the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. My Thanksgiving, it was really good. The, the break. Jill worked all the break. So it was like solo time with Scarlet on Friday, Saturday, Sunday. But it was really good solo time.

[Sherman]

Brutal. She had to work, bro. Shout out the moms out there that are in healthcare on call. Had to work the weekends.

[Will Compton]

It was hard. And that, that I would say that's kind of like the main takeaway from the weekend is I was already. I think I'm just really, really drained and like energy, emotional wise, just like fully drained. And so going into that week, I was already kind of drained. And then during the weekend I like almost just had like a mental break from just being like, yo, like this is like, oh my gosh, what did I sign up for? But also in the same breath, like being really appreciative of what I signed up for. And like Scarlett just that time with Scarlett was really incredible because now she like is being held by mom, but she's like reaching out to me and kind of like being like, nah, nah. Which she always did that vice versa.

[Sherman]

Because you had someone, you had all those, you had the time with her.

[Will Compton]

Oh, so much time, dude. And just like her falling asleep on my, my chest and stuff like after feeds and I would like time it out. I was starting to kind of like learn her. Hey you, you know, you're looking like you want to lay on Dada's chest and you might want to take a little nappy. And sure enough, I was right. And she goes down for like a little hour nap. And so it was a really hard weekend, but it was a really good weekend. And just a lot of good conversations out of it with Jill too, of kind of like breaking down my weekend and how it was hard. And I'm sure it's hard for you having to work on the holidays and us kind of coming together and being like, we need some time for ourselves. So her mom came up and is up here this week and Jill and I are gonna get to go on a little date night. Yeah, this. Oh yeah, Two date nights.

[Sherman]

When?

[Will Compton]

Probably tomorrow and Wednesday.

[Sherman]

Nice, dude.

[Will Compton]

We're going on two date nights. We're gonna go see a movie.

[Sherman]

You know which one? Don't even know.

[Will Compton]

Don't even care. I told her I'll go see Wicked too. I don't give a. I just.

[Sherman]

Wicked's A good. We saw the first one not too.

[Will Compton]

Long ago, which I'm.

[Sherman]

Second one good. Yeah.

[Will Compton]

I have nothing against Wicked. That's just like me saying, you will go see your movie. Like you choose. I do not care.

[Sherman]

Stella. Predator.

[Will Compton]

Go see the new. And I. I told her, as long as I have a still piss on my wife.

[Sherman]

We didn't go see Predator that one day.

[Will Compton]

Hey, we'll go see it. We'll see the new Predator.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Without fanning. Wait, sorry, What?

[Sherman]

We'll go with you to the movie.

[Will Compton]

Oh, yeah, dude. We should do, like, a little movie night. That'd be fun.

[Sherman]

Well, listen, I'm down. I always love a good theater visit.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Sherman]

Go check out a flick. Like, eat some popcorn, bro.

[Will Compton]

That's Jill. And I's like, guilty pleasure. Date night is dinner and a movie.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Oh, dude. And just eat. Only order apps wherever you go. We only get, like, appetizers and go somewhere like Chili's or something. You know, just fast, easy, whatever. Get apps. Leave some room for popcorn. Jill might want a hot dog. Sue me, honey, I said it. You might get a hot dog at the theater. You might get two hot dogs. She gets the little kid box with that comes with popcorn and the candy and the hot dog. I get a large popcorn every time. Quote me. Call up Tremo, my boy.

[Sherman]

Okay.

[Will Compton]

They'll tell you always get the large popcorn. I get the jalapenos, too. If y' all have never done jalapenos with popcorn. But anyways, I got a couple date nights coming up. We got a little date nights.

[Sherman]

So as PT6. Listen to this right now. You just went on your first date night last night. You got another date night coming up tonight.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

Follow Sherm. What? What? What are your social medias? Sure.

[Will Compton]

Sherm. Stew underscore, too. Yeah, it's kind of fun. It kind of rhymes.

[Sherman]

Sherm. Stu underscore 2.

[Will Compton]

Come on.

[Sherman]

The live updates on date night. And that's Stu.

[Will Compton]

S T U not S T W.

[Sherman]

A R T end with the shockwave.

[Will Compton]

Oh, buddy. If I get the ride. I'm not even trying to be funny. I'm not even trying to be funny. If I. In these next two days, if I go to the movies and eat a large bucket of popcorn with jalapenos and then have a steak that I did not cook that someone cooked for me. And then ride shockwave. Take me. Take me to heaven with a good night of sleep. If I get to sleep in. Holy. Buddy.

[Sherman]

1 and 2 is gonna be nice. The next.

[Will Compton]

And that that shockwave dopamine hit, and then you just boom, and you're out. And then you sleep in. That next morning is. And for any new listener, shockwave means coitus, which is Latin for sex. Not that. Not to get too dirty on you, but it is a lazy late night.

[Sherman]

We'll be cracking a cold one.

[Will Compton]

But I digress. I'm sorry. I just got excited.

[Sherman]

What are you sorry for, man?

[Will Compton]

I don't even know.

[Sherman]

Yeah, like, be excited, bro. I'm BT6 happy for you. They're. They're. They're nudging their. Their misses right now, baby. The shock wave.

[Will Compton]

Oh, Sherman, what kind of steak are you gonna get? Talk dirty to me. Probably a ribeye. And I eat all the fat too. I don't even care.

[Sherman]

Like, oh, I'm bloated and I have cramps. Not tonight. What's that? What is that? Hall Pass.

[Will Compton]

I need to watch that movie.

[Sherman]

You've never seen Hall Pass.

[Will Compton]

It's with Owen Wilson and Jason.

[Sherman]

You've never seen. Bro, you've gotta watch.

[Will Compton]

I've never fully watched it all the.

[Sherman]

Way Derek, where he's like. He's like wanting to get laid. He's like popping around. He's like popping her on the ass going up the stairs. Oh, stop. I'm bloated and I have cramps when.

[Will Compton]

They get caught on the security camera. And he's like, hello, I'm a wide mouth vagina movie.

[Sherman]

Yeah. All right. I guess the car it is. And he's just jerking off in the car.

[Will Compton]

That's where he goes. Yeah. God, what a spot, bro.

[Sherman]

You have to watch All Pass, man. Great movie for.

[Will Compton]

For PT6ers I've always seen. It's one of those where I probably always caught the last 30 minutes or something. I couldn't tell you any scenes from it. I need to sit down and fully watch it.

[Sherman]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You'll like it. That's a good movie.

[Will Compton]

Movie also, the vibes are so electric in here. Like, just the lighting is incredible. Yeah, yeah.

[Sherman]

Shout out, chef. You've crushed the lighting, bro. I've been seeing people even comment. Go other way to comment about the lighting.

[Will Compton]

That's when you know, like, why the hell are people in our comments talking about the lighting? Because it's that good.

[Sherman]

Yeah, it's cozy.

[Will Compton]

It's cozy. We have rain just gently going on the roof.

[Sherman]

We're having some good laughs.

[Will Compton]

Some good laughs.

[Sherman]

What else is there to talk about? Fatherhood.

[Will Compton]

I don't know. What do y' all want to Talk about. Can I talk about my turkey?

[Sherman]

Sure, Chef. You call. Talk to us about your turkey.

[Will Compton]

Just keep it under an hour, Chef. Talk about the turkey. I just want to say that to all the PT Sixers out there that commented under the video that we posted, giving me props, I can't tell you how much that means to me, because there's a lot of pressure. First turkey. First turkey of my life. And Thanksgiving is a big. You. You screw up the turkey, it's a big thing. You know, it's a debacle. That is a big deal. It's a prime time spot, and I was very happy with that, with how it turned out. It needed, like, 10 minutes less in. The oven was just a little dry. Do you mind doing me a favor? Can you put an image of your turkey right there? Yes, I can, because I want pt6 to see it because it deserves screen time. And then tell us a little bit about your family's reaction to your turkey. Chef, what were the people saying? It was really good all around the board. My dad's very happy because he doesn't have to cook a turkey anymore, and now it's my responsibility. Yeah. Got compliments from the parents, grandparents, little brother even put in something nice there. Had a couple nice words. That's, you know, that's a big win. That's big. I was happy with it. I'm usually the person that will on my food the most, just naturally. So overall, I was. I was. It was kind of. It was a big win. So on to next year, and we're going to elevate. We can get better.

[Sherman]

Congrats on the turkey.

[Will Compton]

Congrats on the turkey, Chef. Maybe an underground oven.

[Sherman]

How's you and your bro? How's you and brother?

[Will Compton]

Dude, we had the best Thanksgiving we've ever had.

[Sherman]

Nice, man.

[Will Compton]

We sat there, we ripped a couple parlays, watched football. It was genuinely the best Thanksgiving I've had with him. Really. We had. We're in that sibling spot where I think we were a little late to the party, but we've had that moment.

[Sherman]

Where we were like, hey, you're actually.

[Will Compton]

Really awesome, like, as a brother and stuff. You know how, like, when you're younger, you get in that stage where you fight a lot? I think we finally hit a big. A big swing over, which is not like, we were always close 20s. Now he's 20, about to be 21.

[Sherman]

There you go.

[Will Compton]

So we had a.

[Sherman]

Just a young goomba.

[Will Compton]

We hit a parlor. We hit a parlay on Thanksgiving, actually. I did. He added Mark Andrews anytime. Touchdown. Which didn't hit. So I was celebrating but he was happy. Oh, but it was just the feeling of like oh yeah, we got to bond a lot and we don't get to see each other a lot because he's in college. So overall that was. Remind me your brother's name. Grant. Grant. Shout out. Shout out. Grant.

[Sherman]

Did you have a good Thanksgiving? I know you drove out to the east coast.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Wednesday I drove up to Pittsburgh. Wonderful. Thanksgiving we do about a noon for my mom's side and then a five o' clock for my dad's side. So saw everyone in my family. What I will say is the red solo cups in front of you are a gift from my father. Oh, I forgot.

[Sherman]

What is that, Ollie Pop.

[Will Compton]

I forgot in the fridge and I. He said hey, I packed you a to go bag because I left at 5 in the morning and I zipped it up and it was waters. It was everything in one single Ridge rush. One single.

[Sherman]

So this is Ridge rush Rush from old Chip.

[Will Compton]

From Chip for everyone to try. He said they'll. They'll know what I meant when I said Skittles on steroids. So my Thanksgiving was wonderful. I come back bearing gifts from a bunch of things that I had on my desk. But then Ridge rush for the boys. Can I really just really quickly shout out Chip? I love that he did that. And cheers to the. For the dads crew. Cheers to a nighttime recording. To cheers to the shockwave.

[Sherman]

That's pretty good.

[Will Compton]

Skittles on steroids. Hey, I got I. This is my full review.

[Sherman]

It honestly doesn't hit near as hard as what his description is.100 like skittles on steroids. I taste the Skittles, but not in such a way that it kind of turns me away from.

[Will Compton]

If you put this in the hands of a 21 year old Sherman and you threw some vodki in this. Yeah. This is like the ultimate like Red Bull Vegas bomb. You know, whatever. Any of those bombs. It's akin to something that I And hey, we're olipop here. But it's akin. It's a familiarity that has a really good taste to it. But it's light.

[Sherman]

It's a family show, bro. We don't want to be talking about vodka and ollipop. You put some vodka in this.

[Will Compton]

All right, easy. Hey, hey, hey.

[Sherman]

Can I tell you about that Was.

[Will Compton]

The goomba Ray sneaking out?

[Sherman]

Yeah. Yeah. Oh goo yo. I mean I'm breaking a little bit too much about so I want to listen the cream soda Ollipop. Incredible. So wifey and Rue. I had to make a target run yesterday. I was home. Scotty was upstairs taking a nap. Your boy's getting the tree out, getting everything set up. Because we were. We were decorating for Christmas over the weekend. Which I hope all of you got to do. That is a great time. That's a great family building moment. Is getting the kids Like, Rue loves putting up ornaments. You got to kind of take your time with her. She puts all the. She clusters the ornaments together in the same spot. And you got to kind of talk her into. Hey, let's put it over here, sweetheart. We need a little bit more on this side. They took a little break. They went to Target. I whispered to Rue before she left, and I said, hey. I said, hey, R. Come here. Let me tell you a secret. And I. I whispered in her ear, I said, don't let mom forget my Olipop. Chris Bapple, make sure to tell her. Don't let mom forget my Olipop. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Charles. She forgot the day before. But I tell Rue, I'm like, sweetheart, you'll carry out this mission for dad. That. And I look her in the eyes and I say, do you got that said?

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

I said, tell me it again. I said, what do I not want you to forget? And she, like, leans in my ear, and she's like, ollie, Pop, go tell your mother. There you go, kid. She, like, goes over to Mom. She's like, hey, mom, we can't get for that. We can't forget Dad's ollipop. Apple. Apple juice. Like, it's crisp apple jacket. Crisp apple. They laugh. They go to the store, come back home, and I'm sitting over by the. Like, we got the fireplace going. Get the fireplace going. And she comes over, and I think I'm like, on my phone, and she comes over, and she's like, dad, dad. And that's when, like, she's starting to get. She's starting to get this sense of tone for delivering news. Like, she would have ran and said, dad, dad. Yeah, I got you. Ollie, Pop, Apple or crisp apple? She goes, dad, dad. And I look up, I say, what is it, sweetheart? She's like, they didn't have the apple. I said, oh, sweetheart, that's okay.

[Will Compton]

That.

[Sherman]

She's like, but I got you a different one. I said, oh, my gosh. You did? Can you go show me? We get up and kind of go over there. She, like, pulls it out and shows me and kind of shows me in a way. Like, she has the face like, dad ain't gonna be happy because she. Charles said she was bummed in the eye. She's like, sweetheart, they don't got crisp apple. And she was kind of losing it a little bit. Like, we gotta. We got to get the crisp apple for dad. Dad. And it was cream soda, and I was so fired up, and I tried it for the first time, and buddy, yeah. Emotional reaction. Top of the list, really. Now that I've had time to sleep on it, I. It might still be at the top.

[Will Compton]

What?

[Sherman]

Crisp apple. Listen. So I've had. I've had a classic grape so much that the new flavors are kind of turning me on a little bit.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

Yeah. Gut. Crisp apple.

[Will Compton]

I.

[Sherman]

It's. It just. It tastes so fresh and light and it's got the perfect carbonation.

[Will Compton]

What is the name of this one? That's Ridge Rush.

[Sherman]

I've seen people are fans of it. This was a good drink. Ridge Rush was a good drink.

[Will Compton]

To what Chef was leaning to. There is a green beverage owned by another company we will not name that it emulates. And I think this is a better version of it.

[Sherman]

Is what we got you.

[Will Compton]

Oh, got you cream soda. That's.

[Sherman]

But the cream soda, bro, is so damn good.

[Will Compton]

I need to try cream soda. I've had banana cream. I've had grape.

[Sherman]

That's what I want to try. Banana cream. That seems like one that really gets my shit going.

[Will Compton]

It was very. It was very strong. And I'm big on the tropical flavors of like coconuts, bananas, like all that kind of jazz. So it might not be your fancy, but as a fan of those types of flavors, the banana cream is strong. I do want to say though, with the Ridge Rush, but to Yalls point, not even close to as sour as I thought it was going to be. And actually really light, easy. Gary.

[Sherman]

Dress was good.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. No, which means it was great.

[Sherman]

Ridge Rush was good.

[Will Compton]

It was good quality drink. We need to do a full PT6 breakdown of our favorite flavors.

[Sherman]

Yeah. Because I feel like pt6 is really buying into this Olipop wave.

[Will Compton]

Oh yeah.

[Sherman]

Like we're setting a tone. Like PD6 is setting a tone out there. I don't think Olipop right now as a consumer.

[Will Compton]

I don't remember how many times I've ever seen a podcast with a sponsor or something in the. Buy in from a community in terms of a product or something that is supported because I think it's. We all love it. We're all big Olipop fans here. But to see the community then go in and back it up too.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

And also fall in love with it just like we have. Is pretty freaking sick.

[Sherman]

You guys think? Bro, it aligns. It aligns with like the family vibe. You got kiddos who like soda. Like, as far as alternative for a drink, like, yes, we promote Ollipop and read advertising for Ollipop, but It is. It's 2 to 5 grams of sugar. It's 9 grams of prebiotic fiber. I can list it all. I don't even need.

[Will Compton]

He's not going off of the script.

[Sherman]

I don't even need the script, bro. So I would see why families would want to have it stocked in their fridge number one. Once mom and dad get a taste of it, it's like, oh, we talk about staying hydrated, drinking water, all that stuff. Sometimes you need a little new. Something a little new to. To get the taste buds going.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

And you get to put away the diet, the diet coke, the fake sugar stuff, the soda. And you got Ollipop in your fridge with all these different flavors, the variety, the range. I haven't even had more than I've had four total. I haven't had the vintage Cole yet. I haven't had the doctor Whatever it is I'm.

[Will Compton]

I'm walking through. I had a true Will Compton tweet moment because I was walking through the store, and I saw an Olipop holiday pack, and I'm like, you tell me the Ollipop had a holiday pack, and it's not even on.

[Sherman]

Our ad reads, yeah, bro. You and this Will Compton tweet. But I know Sherm thought of one, too. We were standing outside the Lawans, and we was. I forget. I think Sherman was taking a picture. We were doing, like, a family photo, and Sherman was thinking. And Sherman was saying something, or I might have been saying something, and I was like, hey, how'd that get up there? And he started laughing.

[Will Compton]

Wait, wait, wait.

[Sherman]

Keep it.

[Will Compton]

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

[Sherman]

That was it. That was my story. How'd that get up there? We.

[Will Compton]

He asked me to take a picture. I'm telling this to our guys because they would find it equally hilarious as a Will Compton moment of. There's one single ball, like, glowing ball, pretty big in each one of the Luan's trees in their backyard, and it's very, very high up in the tree. Nobody has mentioned these balls at all. Charo is having a conversation with me and how to work her camera that's very in depth. And Will just all of a sudden, just breaks that and just goes.

[Sherman]

Goes.

[Will Compton]

Hey, how did that get up there? Pointing at the ball. And I just belly left for, like, a solid 30 seconds. And I think Charo may have just found it funny that I found it funny. I don't know, but I just. Dude, I barely laughed at that.

[Sherman]

We had. We had to be out there because we had to go, too Rue. So you got a toddler, you're trying to Get a family photo in you. We're holding Scotty, so that's going to be hey, let's get a family photo before it gets too, too dark, whatever it is. Someone's going down and Rue's out there swinging outside. So you know when you're a little one, they're out there doing their own thing. You got to kind of go to them because if you mention, hey, let's take a photo together, they're not about it. They all of a sudden want to shell up. When they start getting their own little personality, their own little attitude, they figure out what family like pictures and everything else. They don't want to smile. So we had to go out. Too rude to do that. Now a dad hack that I hit. So on Black Friday, Black Friday morning, morning after Thanksgiving, we do. We went over to Bar three and did a workout. I worked out I'd hit my annual quota for working out of Bar three, by the way. It was a phenomenal workout and my back felt better all weekend.

[Will Compton]

Oh, really?

[Sherman]

Not like good and healed, but in a way to where I wasn't. Like when I'm leaning down into the crib, I'm not like having to lean my whole body on the crib, put my hands on my knees. Like my back pain is real. Real.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

But it was a good enough where I got to where I'm thinking I might want to put Bar three in my life weekly, once a week.

[Will Compton]

Really.

[Sherman]

Because it had me that, it had me feeling that good. Now that my dad hack for the family photos is after we got done with the class, Charl wanted to get a family photo, you know, holding the balls, like just a family pick at Bar three. I knew Rue wasn't going to be about it and Charles was about to ask her and I stopped my wife and I said, hey, don't ask Rue to take a photo. If we ask her, she's not going to want to do it. What we need to do is act like we're excited, holding the balls. We're going to take a photo and just tell Rue, hey, we're going to take a photo with Scotty. She was like cleaning the mask. She was doing something that had her attention. But if you got a little one like Rue is three. And so if you have a three year old or like an abrasive toddler that doesn't want to take photos, you just tell them you're going to take a photo with Rue, whoever else. So we're going to get a photo together and pose and do this Fun stuff. And you do it in front of them. They all of a sudden, once it starts happening, they don't want to miss the photo. They want to run over. They want to take it like you're doing. They want to be performative now because they feel like they're missing out on the photo. So a simple dad hack. Don't tell your little one. I don't know if it's going to work on boys. Boys are nuts. Boys are a different animal. There could be parents like that. Like, yeah, boys are a different beast. But you got a little girl, and they're kind of abrasive, taking photos. You just don't tell them. You're like, hey, can we get a photo with you? You just go and start taking the photo and let her know, go, hey. What we do is, hey, we're gonna go take a photo with Scotty. We'll be back in a second, like, right in front of her. And then all of a sudden, she wants to run in and take a photo. And it was. It was beautiful. Simple dad hack.

[Will Compton]

Simple. Simple dad hack. And it goes along with the law of the picnic. That's a lot harder to talk somebody into coming with you to the picnic. Whereas if you just laid the picnic out and you're sitting there and you got all the nice food and it looks nice, somebody's way more willing to come sit down there.

[Sherman]

That's called the law of the picnic.

[Will Compton]

The law of the picnic.

[Sherman]

Okay.

[Will Compton]

You set the picnic up, up, and it looks good. It looks fun. Law of attraction. They come in, they want to join.

[Sherman]

Boom. Hey, that looks kind of fun over there. Yeah, I feel that.

[Will Compton]

I love. I love that. Also, another dad act was Rue swinging on the swing. And we go to take the picture with their, hey, R, you got to get off the swing. We got to take a picture.

[Sherman]

No, no, no, no.

[Will Compton]

And I just instantly go, actually, you know what? Rue, stand on the swing.

[Sherman]

Yeah. You don't have to move.

[Will Compton]

You don't. You get to stand on the swing.

[Sherman]

Yeah, yeah.

[Will Compton]

And she. She jumped on that.

[Sherman]

Yeah, she was about that. And then the next day, I was thinking about the same element of her not wanting to do it. I'm like, hey, don't even ask her. Let's just say we're taking a photo. Let's look like we're having fun. She'll run right over to us.

[Will Compton]

Let's go.

[Sherman]

A flawless execution.

[Will Compton]

I just want to remind everyone how good Rasheed Rice was last season. In these three healthy games, he was the 1 wide receiver 2 in fantasy. I think Rasheed Rice just goes off this week.

[Sherman]

The Chiefs come on. A flip pass to Rice near side. Touchdown.

[Will Compton]

Ramandre Stevens is my sleeper this week. This is a matchup where I think I can slide in Stevenson in my flex position and he could deliver double digit points this week. Drake takes the snap, hands it off for Madre, running it right and running into the end zone. Touchdown. It's never too late to turn your fantasy season around.

[Sherman]

I can rip this from Harrison Coon 8303 on YouTube grateful for for the dad shout out chef Jack. Shout out to home team Pizza and Pizza Friday. Oh cheers. Got another one here from Kevin Kuklinski. Yep, haven't been listening for long but had a comment from the boys a couple pods ago that hit me. That hit me hard. I don't have to do these things. I get to do these things.

[Will Compton]

Shout out Derek.

[Sherman]

Shout out Derek. My girl and I have separated for the time being and we have an almost three year old boy. This was the first holiday where we are splitting duties and not together. I showed up to my ex in laws and saw Sarah cooking by herself. My first thought was I get to help out. I got a three year old occupied with toys and went straight to work cooking, doing dishes, prepping the table. It made everyone's day better and made a very tense situation relaxing. No matter what the future holds for us. When I get in a situation where I used to get upset or do nothing and walk away, I now remember that I get to do this. Thank you for all the advice, Support and love. PT6 that is a a comment I was not expecting to read.

[Will Compton]

I know that I was almost ready.

[Sherman]

Yeah I was almost ready to bust Derek's boss because Derek goes through the comments and he's got another another Derek shout out in here with the I get to but that is dude that is a phenomenal comment that I was not expecting to read.

[Will Compton]

My favorite comment of the week by far also yeah, I thank you guys for saying my name in it. But I was like how can I actually deliver a comment that that guy's perspective is one that I will choose every day of the week? That guy has a really good outlook on.

[Sherman]

That's an incredible perspective of separating your ego from everything else. I It's like if I'M in that situation, you hope to have that outlook on everything because I'm sure that is very abrasive, very tense, very uncomfortable. Especially if that's the first time, the first holiday and you're on, you know, you're in like enemy territory.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

You know, I mean, you're at the ex in laws, you're, you're with them, you're on that side. You can sit there and make it awkward, you can make it weird, you know, but instead you're like looking like, let me go see how I can help. Let me go cook. Let me go do this. And what a great example for the kiddos because I'm sure those are going to be hard conversations as a three year old gets older.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

And that dude right there, say, that example is carried out for the rest of time. What a phenomenal example for their 3 year old as they get older.

[Will Compton]

Yes, dude.

[Sherman]

And see what something like that looks like if they were to happen to be in that situation or if they're seeing a bad situation with one of their friends and they're reminded of how their parents acted. Even when, you know, you get old enough and have some perspective and look back and be like, damn, they, they really, they really kept it together.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

For the sake of me.

[Will Compton]

A very humbling reminder too, that I'm sitting there solo with Scarlett and, you know, not woe is me, but being like, oh, man, this is rough and tough. But, like, my wife is coming home at the end of the day. Like, I get to sleep in bed next to my wife that night and we get to talk about how much we love our daughter. Like, like, yeah, the. This guy's deep in the trenches, fighting through a hard situation and still finding the positive. That's awesome. Yeah, that's awesome.

[Sherman]

Yeah, 100%. I got one more here from Alexa Santa Maria on Instagram. This is Milk Team six here, mama. Two daughters, one and three, heading to Dayton, Ohio to see the family for Thanksgiving. Listening to this episode with my husband. Huge fan. So we have people listening while traveling. Fires in the air. Up. Sitting in the back seat with the girls to keep everyone calm. Here, Will's family is fighting a bug, throwing up everywhere. Two seconds later, my three year old is puking all over the car. Oh, iPad. I tap him in the driver's speed. I tap him in the driver's seat. Speaking of throw up. Oh, she asked, what was that? Throw up, honey. Right on cue. Too funny not to share that in the moment. Happy Thanksgiving. Wishing you all safe and happy holidays. Face Picture attached post puke just smiling in the car seat.

[Will Compton]

Wait, so literally as you're telling the puke story, she pukes.

[Sherman]

Two seconds later, three year old puking all over the car in the iPad.

[Will Compton]

Oh my God. And they're listening to the episode in the car on a roo.

[Sherman]

Tap him on the driver's seat. Speaking of throw up. Oh.

[Will Compton]

Bro, that's so brutal.

[Sherman]

Brutal man. Especially too like when kids are thrown up and it's like their first time throwing up and they kind of don't know what's happening and their faces kind of panicked a little bit. It's like. It's okay sweetheart. It's okay. You're gonna, you're doing just fine. Just keep, keep yak and if you gotta, yeah, keep on spitting.

[Will Compton]

But that also reminds me, we gotta do some kind of breakdown of road trip prep and like road trip strategy. Diaper changes during road trips. Yeah. Yeah. Cuz it's no easy task.

[Sherman]

No, I thought you were going to keep going.

[Will Compton]

I did too. No, I had something really good though. Just I had something good.

[Sherman]

Here's how you pack the bag. Here's how you pull over.

[Will Compton]

We could talk about another pod. It's like, you know, it's nothing. I have some thoughts and prayers. Comments. This one comes from crut17 on Instagram. He said boy, sure you won't see this? Lol. We did. But little update. I just commented on last episode's YouTube post and told you all about how I'm supposed to get a terrible week all alone because the girlfriend and boy are headed off to Disney. Well, here we are Thanksgiving morning and she's in the most pain I've ever seen her in. I brought her to the ER and we have been here all day day. She's got kidney stones and an infection. Oh and is going to get transferred for surgery. They're going to try to get her in early tomorrow so she can hopefully still make the flight Saturday. Even if she's not able to do any rides at Disney, I'm by her side trying to give her whatever little comfort. I can feel so awful not being able to ease her pain at all. But she's an absolute trooper. While crying in the ER bed, she looked over and said good. With a very little giggle to follow low. I might have turned her into a milk. Team 6 member looking for some good vibes sent our way. Our luck has been down these last few months. Crud 17 crud. Not only shout out to you but shout out to mt Sixer. That's going through it.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Kidney stones are no joke.

[Sherman]

I know, bro. Thankfully never. Never had them.

[Will Compton]

And I. I have a family member that has passed double digits.

[Sherman]

Oh.

[Will Compton]

Of kidney stones. I will leave them anonymous.

[Sherman]

But.

[Will Compton]

Oh, buddy, buddy. It's bad. And that certain family member is female and did compare it to childbirth.

[Sherman]

Really?

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Was like very, very much. The sharp pains are like close to childbirth, which is just a crazy thought.

[Sherman]

Thought.

[Will Compton]

Crazy thought. But thoughts and prayers out to that family.

[Sherman]

Positive vibes.

[Will Compton]

Positive vibes.

[Sherman]

Positive vibes.

[Will Compton]

My wife just delivered our twins via C section at 34 weeks. The Twins are in the NICU growing awesomely. My wife was released from the hospital, admitted back in the same day for what she thought was a stroke. Turned out to be Bell's palsy. And preeclampsia. That's serious stuff. Stuff. We have been away from our 3 year old son for almost a week. Your podcast has been a saving grace, keeping me calm throughout all these events. That's. Dude, that is really, really hard.

[Sherman]

Yeah, man.

[Will Compton]

Preeclampsia is very serious.

[Sherman]

What is. Explain preeclampsia too.

[Will Compton]

That is. I cannot go into the medical cause, but that's what Jill was. Had potential for. Preeclampsia. And it has something to do with the failure of the. What's.

[Sherman]

What.

[Will Compton]

The babies feed on the placenta. Yeah, it's like a failure of the placenta and then there's some kind of thing where it basically like poisons the blood of the moment. I guess if somebody wants to google it, the exact cause of. I'm not gonna pre. Clamp. Yeah. Pre eclampsia. Preeclampsia is unknown, but it's believed to begin with problems in the development of the placenta, such as inefficient blood flow. It's complex. Multiple factors including looking for what it. What can happen. But yes, very serious. Serious. Yeah, very serious stuff. So thoughts and prayers out to them.

[Sherman]

Absolutely. And. And their. Their son too. Like nicu. It's. That stuff's never easy.

Yeah, yeah. She had falcon. You already know. When they hit me with that, I was like, what the hell are you talking about? Basically, shit's all over. You can't just say that like they're born in their own. Let me get the cord.

[Will Compton]

I can't wait around. The doctor and there's a doc that sounds like they might have a little falconia. It sounds like falconia to me. I'm no expert.

[Sherman]

It's a falconia.

[Will Compton]

Oh, God.

[Sherman]

Can I talk about my turkey.

[Will Compton]

Chef?

[Sherman]

Let's talk about you talk about the turkey chef. All right. Can I talk about my turkey?

[Will Compton]

Every time we record at night, this thing goes off the rails. Okay, do we. Do we want to jump into emails? I do have a very cool quick. What are the odds? Because we didn't do it last week.

[Sherman]

Hit the. What are the odds? I have a cracker cold one from.

[Will Compton]

JV555, and, guys, I am so delirious that I legitimately I need y' all to check me on whether or not I did this. What are the odds? But I swear to God, I don't think we have. Did we talk about twins and the likelihood of twins and types of twins? No, Harvard. Harvard. And we did one more. Okay, so we have not. Okay, then I.

[Sherman]

The likelihood of.

[Will Compton]

Hopefully. It's so nice that we did it twice is the worst case scenario. But what are the odds? Brought to you by fanduel thank you, fanduel. Twins.

[Sherman]

Any odds? Twins. Get on.

[Will Compton]

What are they? What are the odds that one has it? One does. Let's break down twins. What do y' all think is the most common type of twin? I'll break it down for you guys. We have multiple types. We have multiple types. We have identical twins.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

We have fraternal twins. That it's either. Correct. Yeah. Fraternal twins. Falconia twins. But the fraternal twins, they could be boy. Boy.

[Sherman]

What's fraternal mean?

[Will Compton]

Fraternal means that they are in the same womb, but they are not from the same egg. Two separate eggs.

[Sherman]

Oh, wow.

[Will Compton]

Identical twin. Same egg.

[Sherman]

Then you got Siamese.

[Will Compton]

Then you got the Siamese. So you have either identical twins or you have fraternal twins that are boy, boy, girl, girl, or boy, girl, girl. What do you think is the most common type of twin?

[Sherman]

Identical.

[Will Compton]

Okay. I. I think it's fraternal. Boy, girl. Okay. Oh.

[Sherman]

So you got to do the option inside the fraternal. You can't just say fraternal. Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Do you want to change your answer?

[Sherman]

I'll go with identical just to mix it up.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll go identical. Identical.

[Sherman]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

I hope the mic, please juice the mic on that. We have to get some audio of that. Will literally just gave his chair Falcon.

[Sherman]

We're off the rails right now. What's the answer?

[Will Compton]

Fraternal. Opposite. Derek wins.

[Sherman]

Congrats.

[Will Compton]

Fraternal. Opposite sex. 35% chance.

[Sherman]

I got a crack of Coles one here, please. By our boy. JV555 crack. A cold one. When your kid gives you an unprovoked, unsolicited I love you or tells you how much fun they are having with you.

[Will Compton]

The good.

[Sherman]

Oh, I actually have a. I actually have a very wholesome story scenario. It was last night. It was Sunday. We got home from. From date night. We're hanging out with the in laws. We're hanging out the. With Lola and opa. It's about 6:30 at night. I'm sitting on the chair closest to the fireplace. Scotty is caddy corn corner across the coffee table. And I got Scotty throwing a Rolodex of verbiage, which is like, ah, dad. Dad. But anyway. And I'm like, can you say kiss? Because I'll say. Can you say. Can you say, ah? Can you say dad? Dad. I'll bet. Can you say kiss? She stops what she's doing. She was, like, holding a toy. She puts the toy down, walks around the coffee table and just has a massive smile on her face, thinking, like, she knows what kiss means. Thinking, like, he wants to kiss me. So she just comes over, open mouth with the big smile. I lean in and give her a kiss. Then after I give her a kiss, mind you, I'm just trying to get her to say kiss. Like, I'm trying to test her verbiage.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

But the fact that she just stops what she's doing when I'm like, can you say kiss? She stops, she's doing, and she just kind of waddles, walks around the coffee table, comes over, gives me a kiss. And then, like, softly, she's, like, looking at my hands. And she puts one of her hands and, like, slides it, like, under my hand. Because we have the rhythm of hug, kiss, and three squeezes. One, two, three.

[Will Compton]

I love you.

[Sherman]

She, like, puts her hand under my hand, and I'm thinking to myself, she wants me to do three squeezes right now. And I'm like, one, two, three. I love you. And she's just smiling. And it was. It melted your boy, bro. It melted your boy. That's epic, right? Just continue to, like, bring it on. I'm like, yo, how, sweetheart, Charl, how crazy was that? Like, I'm, like, going through the words, and I'm like, can you say kiss? And she stops what she's doing and walks around like, I'm gonna go give that dad kiss. And then, like, looks at my hands and softly puts her hand under my. Just to get three squeezes.

[Will Compton]

Dude, is that your crack of cold one?

[Sherman]

That's gotta be my cracker cold one. Saying something like that. And it sparked. That sparked me remembering that last night. Yeah, that's my cracker cold one, bro.

[Will Compton]

My cracker cold one goes to Scarlet meeting Santa today, and I sent a little image to Chef, and he can pull that up. But I haven't gotten the full breakdown. I haven't gotten the full story from Jill yet. But it looked like, no tears.

[Sherman]

That's amazing.

[Will Compton]

Which is huge.

[Sherman]

So you'll have your. That cracker call one. Show the photo. Show the photo and also run the video of Rue meeting room, eating black Santa for the first time. We had. I have a photo sitting out in my car. Like, Rue cried. We. We went to the mall, saw Santa. She cried the first time. Second time we go to the mall, she cries on that one. We will play this video. This one is. It's just so funny. It is just so funny.

[Will Compton]

Instant bus and classic.

[Sherman]

Yeah, yeah. She's been scared of Santa. Like, Rue's very weary. Like, she's very shy.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

We did Halloween this year. She's three this year. The first couple years, I got her in the rhythm of saying trick or treat. She was like the sweet little girl who say trick or treat and stuff. But she's also, like, very reserved and shy around new people. She's never wanted to meet Santa. We went to. We went to this, like, lights, you know, where they have all the lights set up and you walk around. They got the hot chocolate. We're checking out lights. They're saying it back in the barn. And we go out to meet Santa in the back of the barn. And she's like. She's gripping me screaming, doesn't want to meet Santa. So you don't. She's never wanted to mess with Santa. She likes the idea of Santa. But once Santa's there and in front of her, she ain't about that. Yeah, yeah. It's stranger dating danger. But this one to the ball, and it was black Santa. It's just the funniest. I did it on the. I think I did. I put on social media. I put it on tick tock, I think last year, a couple years ago, and it was bang it. Oh, it was nuclear.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

Because everybody's playing the whole racing and everything else. I'm just laughing because she's that way with all of them. But it was just so funny that it happened to be this moment and I filmed it. So when we got to the mall, I'm like, taking videos. You ready to go meet Santa? She's like, yeah, she's all excited. Excited. Then we go up to meet Santa and I'm like, oh, this is gonna be perfect.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. It's just complete meltdown.

[Sherman]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was so funny, bro. You're watching it.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. It's the way she runs away and she's not even within, like 50ft.

[Sherman]

No, it's funny, man. It is funny. So we'll see how she does with Santa this year.

[Will Compton]

Cotton candy. Blue or pink, I do not care.

[Sherman]

One thing I would love from pt6, the community we'll jump into the these voicemails and emails is what are some good traditions you do around Christmas time? Like Charles getting nutcracker tickets lined up. She loves taking root of the nutcracker. She asked if I want to be a part of it this year because last year she went with just rue her ruined her. And I kind of felt some type of way.

[Will Compton]

Oh.

[Sherman]

She kind of snuck it on me because I went with them a couple years ago. I enjoyed it. I love seeing fired up.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

But I was like, yeah, go ahead and throw for December 26th. Seeing the Nutcracker here in Nashville. Nashville.

[Will Compton]

I was about. I was about to jump in and be like, bro, the nutcracker rips.

[Sherman]

Rips, dude.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman]

Loves it.

[Will Compton]

I've gone with Jill. So much fun.

[Sherman]

But love to hear. Love to hear some family traditions around the holidays.

[Will Compton]

Yes.

[Sherman]

Love doing the Advent calendar. Or each day you take a different photo and slide the photo in, you know, along with the. The month of December. Like last night we did our first one and it was Ru and Scotty in front of the Christmas tree. Tree. But you take a little photo with like. Like a Polaroid somewhere. Like, it spits it out. Then you like, put it in the. Put it in the calendar.

[Will Compton]

Something fun that we're doing this year. This is just to throw an idea out there for pt6 listeners is we got Scarlett her own tree. We got her a little.

[Sherman]

Nice, bro. That's so fun, man.

[Will Compton]

And my mom bought a bunch of ornaments for Scarlet.

[Sherman]

Oh.

[Will Compton]

And it's all set up. And she was, look, Jill storied it on Instagram. I'll send you the video so you can throw it up. But Scarlett's looking at the tree and touching it. And I'm like, oh, dude, it is.

[Sherman]

The best time for little ones. I did a. You know, I got the video. I still gotta post it, but I got the video of Us putting up the tree and turning the lights on for the first time and getting Scotty's reaction. She just didn't have much reaction. It was super funny. Rue loves it. But dude, shopping, getting Christmas tree, putting them in the. In the little one's room. We were doing some shopping the other day, day at one of the local spots, and I saw this little Grinch tree that I just feel like I have to have. We didn't get it because I don't know why.

[Will Compton]

And what, like, what makes it a Grinch tree?

[Sherman]

It's just super green. It's got the little who, like the bend and everything else. Like, there's a lot of Grinch themed stuff there. But it was just like this perfect Grinch tree that I feel like I have to have.

[Will Compton]

You should totally get that.

[Sherman]

Yeah. But just shop. And the ornaments that start to come in now that you have a family, like, you have all these family ornaments. I still have my. My ornament from when I was born. Like 1989 Christmas ornament that we put up. But you have all these little ornaments that now you'll start building since you have Scarlet. That'll be. You know, when Charl and I, it was us in our. Our first place. It's like, Charl, me, Charl, Waffle. And you have that one. Now we have one that's. That was me, Charl, Waffle, and Rue. Now we have one with all five of us. And just year after year, you start just building on this toolbox of ornaments to put on the tree. It is the best, man.

[Will Compton]

I will also, I will shout out my godparents, parents, Allison and Terry. Their gift every single year to me was an ornament when I was a kid. And they told me when I was a kid that I would. I probably wasn't going to appreciate the gift at the time, but one day I would really love it. And Alison and Terry, you were right. And I love my ornaments, dude. And I have like 20 of them, and they're incredible. And maybe PT sickos, MT sickos out there there do that for your kid. Because I greatly appreciate, bro, you could.

[Sherman]

Not be more spot on with, like, hey, you won't appreciate this now, but you will later. Like, because I sit back and I see all the Christmas stuff and I see the ornaments and I love the ornament stuff. And I just think to myself, man, an ornament is like an underrated gift that I like. I want to get multiple people.

[Will Compton]

So incredible. And la. Last thing, we'll play this voicemail this is very quick was in Franklin and in this little shop, this little boutique peak, they had upside down tiny Christmas trees hanging from the ceiling like a chandelier with, like, the ornaments and the lights on it. It looked sick. I don't know how many BT sickos or empty sickos got vaulted ceilings, but that look was so sick. I'd never seen that. Have y' all ever seen that before?

[Sherman]

No.

[Sherman]

The Chiefs come on a flip pass to Rice near side touchdown.

[Will Compton]

Ramandre Stevenson is my sleeper this week. This is a matchup where I think I can slide in Stevenson in my flex position and he could deliver double digit points this week. Drake takes the snap, hands it off.

[Will Compton]

Hey, boys, calling in a loner. Team six here. I'm a foster parent, so I'm tossing that name out there for the foster parents. Loner team six. I'm a few weeks behind on the P pod. Trying to catch up. I'm currently listening to 11-12-episode y' all talking about the one year old birthday parties. Thought I'd share this. Our first foster child was a one. We got her about a week before she turned one Little Haitian little girl. Beautiful. And me, my wife, we're. We're wider than Willie C. Wider than Sherman. Okay. We are white. The first birthday party, my wife wanted to do a one in a melon theme, but we quickly realized. Realized you can't put a black baby in watermelon themed outfits surrounded by nothing but white people. You can't do it. Oh, no. It's not a good look. It wouldn't have been a good look. So we went strawberries instead. So, dad hack. Very specific that for anyone out there. All right, keep going, boys. I'm really glad you're doing this. Oh, my God.

[Sherman]

Oh, let's get her in this shirt, sweetheart.

[Will Compton]

We can't do this, honey. I'm wider than fat staff. You can't be doing this. And that is quite white. If you're whiter than me and Willie C. You what?

[Sherman]

One in a melon? Just a watermelon T shirt.

[Will Compton]

That's so funny, dude. Yeah. For any foster parents out there that are extremely white and do have a Haitian one year old, use the strawberries. Go strawberry with it.

[Sherman]

Oh, that's funny.

[Will Compton]

That's fantastic. Oh, I. I think he remained anonymous. Correct. I'm pretty sure he remained.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Super good athlete. Should have been a guy in the league for sure, but a stud. So I correlate. I correlate names with guys from the locker room that I wouldn't want to name my kid after. Laugh out loud. Thanks, guys. Appreciate all you do for the community. And as a reminder to hold yourself to a higher standard as a dad. Good pt. 6 out. Let's see who just wants to throw names at Adam to name his boy.

I'll just go around with the tiny mic in the office and ask everyone to give us a guy name and that'll be the name. That's hilarious. That's really nice. That's hilarious. That's what we'll do. Because I. I honestly want to think on it a little bit. I want to think on it a little bit. I love the name. I will just throw this out there because it's a family name. I love Charlie and I love the nickname Cha Cha.

[Sherman]

Okay.

[Will Compton]

Eric gave me a breakdown of it, but I didn't want to like fully read it. I kind of wanted to like read it open ended on the pod. This is a poem. Will. A poem that was written by a PT Sicko by the name of Jay Blair was not written by P.T.

[Sherman]

Sicko. The.

[Will Compton]

The author of the poem is in the first card that you have. It says if by somebody. My apologies. Apologies. My apologies. This is. I'll just read it. Apologies. Boys. Justin Blair, Semen Team six are here. I feel this poem will resonate with any parents out there. My dad would read it to me as a child and I revisit it anytime I am facing a challenge or adversity in my life. Much respect, boys. This is if by Rudyard Kipling. If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you. If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, but make allowance for their doubting too. If you can wait and not be tired by waiting or being lied about, don't deal in lies or being hated, don't give way to hating and yet don't look too good good nor talk too wise. If you can dream and not make dreams your master if you can think and not make thoughts your aim. If you can meet with triumph and disaster and treat those two impostors just the same. If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools or watch the things you gave your life to broken and stoop and build a them up with womb out tools. If you can make one heap of all your winnings and risk it on one turn of pitch and toss and lose and start again at your beginnings and never breathe a word about your loss. If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew to serve your turn long after they are gone. And so hold on when there is nothing in you except the will which says to them, hold on. On. If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue or walk with kings, nor lose the common touch if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you. If all men count with you, but none too much if you can fill the unforgiving minute with 60 seconds worth of distance run yours is the earth and everything that's in it and which is more, you'll be a man. My son. Son. Fabulous poem.

[Sherman]

That's strong. Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Fabulous poem.

[Sherman]

Thank you for writing that in. Well, Who? Who wrote it? What?

[Will Compton]

I'm sorry. Ryard Kipling.

[Sherman]

What was the one?

[Will Compton]

I don't know why I thought that was funny. It's Kipley. And that came from our friend Justin Blair, who's a seaman. Team sixer.

[Sherman]

Okay.

[Will Compton]

That's into poetry and I love it. I. No, I. I just laughed because it was like a will. Just will making me laugh. Who. Hey, who wrote that? Kipling did. Kipling did.

[Sherman]

God. Oh, you remind me of like the way I feel with Ryan Whitney. Like I could just watch and observe Ryan and listen to him say stuff and it just makes me laugh.

[Will Compton]

And that's what I feel like.

[Sherman]

That's what you going on with me because it's. I. It's like I don't know what you're laughing at.

[Will Compton]

You do. You do make me laugh. Before the pod, when you and Chef were getting into college football and you just getting up at mid sentence housing a Krispy Kreme and like never broke from how Nebraska is like going to pull itself out and I'm just like, there's only one Will Compton. But I digress.

[Sherman]

Oh, can I.

[Will Compton]

You. You ready? Yes. Yes, sir.

[Sherman]

Shout out to poem.

[Will Compton]

Hey, shout out to.

[Sherman]

Who wrote that poem?

[Will Compton]

Sibling. And he's a big old poet sicko. He's written a bunch of them bad boys.

[Sherman]

Okay PT okay, here we go. This is for Derek. I appreciate the warning. PT6 difficulty level hard. This is from Ron holmes. Star * Sad alert. Okay, here we go boys. Hey boys, this is Ron. I am new to for the to the for the Dads podcast. I've been riding on the bus with the boys for a while and decided it was time to hop on the this one. I just wanted to write in and tell you all where I'm at right now. The last episode it was mentioned that we need to talk about the tough thing. So I figured why not talk about it here. I have a stepdaughter who. You can't tell me otherwise she is mine. I am just being technical for the story. My wife and I found out a couple months ago that we are expecting pt6 all day. Well, a few weeks ago on a Monday, my wife called me at work crying. She just woke up on her bathroom floor floor. After she passed out, we took her to the hospital and found out she passed out because she wasn't hydrated enough for two babies. That's right. We found out we were having twins. Both heartbeats were good and healthy. That same week on Friday, as I was getting ready to go to work. At 4am My wife gets up to go to the bathroom and she sees that she is bleeding. Thinking we lost the babies, we take her to the hospital and find out it's a hemorrhage that is fairly common during pregnancy. Can see we were told both babies were healthy and both heartbeats were there. Flash forward to Tuesday of that next week which was Veterans Day. After all the hospital visits we go to see my wife's OB and they do an ultrasound. Knowing our babies were good, we could not wait to see them on the screen. During that ultrasound we found out that we lost one of the twins. The only thing they could tell us was its heartbeat just stopped. Stopped. We were devastated, confused, trying to still be happy and excited and excited for the the one healthy baby we did have. But we're sad for the life that we were expecting to have with twins now going to Last week my wife called me from her job telling me she was going to the hospital because she was bleeding a lot again. We thought we lost another baby. Praise God our prayers were answered and it was just hemorrhaging again. And yesterday we found found out through another appointment with her OB that the hemorrhage is shrinking and the baby is growing and healthy. I just wanted to share because sometimes life sucks. When my wife and I found out we lost one of the twins, we told each other that if we believe who God says he or who God says he is, then as long as baby B is still in there, we will pray for God to restore the heartbeat. And if he decides not if he decides not to, God is still good. If he answered our prayers, we would thank him for the merits of miracle. And if he if he hadn't, we would rejoice that our baby was in in his arms of the Father. Some might call us delusional and that's okay. But we call it faith. So pray and hope with us that our baby and mama stay healthy and get to meet our child and talk about the hard things. My few takeaways from the pod I thought Ollie Pop was gross, but because of Will I tried Apple Crisp and God is Good. Terminal List is great. Watch it other shows I recommend shrinking your friends and neighbors Ted Lasso the Last Frontier Parentheses all on Apple.

[Will Compton]

Tv I was about to say thank.

[Sherman]

You for writing in Ron. It seems like baby number two is growing and healthy right now. Did he say how far along they.

[Will Compton]

Were? It sounded like two months. Is that what he had said at the very beginning? They found out two months ago.

[Sherman]

They'Re pregnant yeah, man, our, our thoughts and prayers and positive vibes are definitely with them. I hope it does because I can only imagine. And God bless you both for staying strong and shifting that perspective around when you're getting news like that. Yeah, I can only imagine how angry it makes you. Thank you for sharing.

[Will Compton]

Bro. Yeah, thank you for.

[Sherman]

Sharing. Thank you for starting to listen. Thank you for feeling like you have a space to write into the boys. I'm glad we, we read this. I hope you're listening to this right now, Ron. And we do positive vibes, thoughts, prayers, all of it headed your way, you and your wife. I hope everything goes well. I hope you're writing it again one day with, with positive news.

[Will Compton]

Man. Yeah. I cannot wait for that baby to come out healthy and the heartbeat restores on the other twin. I can't wait to hear that news too. And for anyone at home that is listening right now, that's also just going through whatever, any struggle. You. There are people out there, there are people in your life that you can share that stuff with. I think it's just really good to share that stuff to get it off your chest. And um, thank you for sharing. What was his first.

[Sherman]

Name? His name was.

[Will Compton]

Ron.

[Sherman]

Ron. His name is.

[Will Compton]

Ron. Thank you so much.

[Sherman]

Ron. Because on that note too, like you're to your point. It's like they're so. I'm sure people listening right now going through, whether it's something similar loss that they just went through, hope that they're trying to cling to right now because of anger that might be happening. So thank you, man. Yeah, and I, I love at the end too. He's just bringing a little bit of, bringing a little bit of life. Like we could laugh about a couple things. Things like hey Olip, I thought it was gross, but Willie, see I tried the crisp apple. God is good. And those, and those wrecks too. On Apple.

[Will Compton]

Tv. Big Apple TV.

[Sherman]

Guy. Big Apple TV guy. By the way, Terminal list. Hey, you guys would be proud of your boy. I am 90 pages.

[Will Compton]

In.

[Sherman]

Really? 90 pages in my first fictional book of all.

[Will Compton]

Time. All.

[Sherman]

Time. All time. I've never written or I've never read a fictional book. I'm mostly like a non fiction.

[Will Compton]

Guy, an adult to.

[Sherman]

Me. I'm like, that's gotta make me better. Yeah, Never just like, I don't know, had my own time, had my own. Like let me just enjoy a book on my own. Yeah, but I'm into it because I watched the TV series on Prime. Phenomenal series again, strongly recommend Terminalist Dark Wolf first, then going back to the 2022 original terminal list, but knowing that I've seen it now and getting to read it. I am now seeing the, the, the light on book readers who read the books, then watch the movies and the shows and like, all the books way better. And you're kind of like, dude, shut up. Like, just enjoy the movie. Yeah, but the detail, the amount of detail and other things that the, the, like Hollywood can't quite fit in all of that. Yeah, I do. I do see what readers are saying. Not saying I'm a reader now, but I started a book over the weekend and Your boy is 90 pages ages in and I have enjoyed.

[Will Compton]

It. Reminds me of Mark Wahlberg and the other guys. Where'd you learn to dance like that? To make fun of the kids in the neighborhood that would dance. I don't.

[Sherman]

Read. Hey, I'm not a reader, all right? I posted that. I posted the shout out to. Was it Jack Carr with the books and everything else. And the comments are so funny. Like, how bummed were you when you realized it wasn't a pop up.

[Will Compton]

Book?

[Sherman]

Book? Yeah, no, like, oh, Willie. See, it ain't a picture book.

[Will Compton]

Bro. Oh, come on.

[Sherman]

Will. When did you. You can't.

[Will Compton]

Read. Those aren't.

[Sherman]

PTOs. I can read a couple.

[Will Compton]

Words. And for any new listeners, Terminal List. Dark Wolf is a prequel to Terminal List.

[Sherman]

Yes. Yeah. If you're new tuned in right now, you've listened to you. It's 10:30 right now. If you listen to 92 Hours in, you're still with us. Love the Terminal.

[Will Compton]

List. We love.

[Sherman]

It. Dark Wolf is the newest release. It is a prequel to the 2022 version. I highly encourage you to start with that prequel sets up for a spin at the end of the original.

[Will Compton]

To watch the show because then you're. You'll truly want to go to lunch with me and probably talk. Talk about it.

[Sherman]

Yeah. You ever take me to lunch?

[Will Compton]

Jesus.

[Sherman]

Truly. I tried getting my shot. I'm a text the other night said I missed the teams. And when he re. When he watches Terminal List, he knows what. He'll know what I'm talking about because they'll just, you know, Taylor Kitsch, just randomly, they're on the boat just having a beer and he's like, I miss the teams, man. Just the. The Navy SEAL team he was on. They were. That they were on.

[Will Compton]

Together. Who are you in the terminal list? Who do you.

[Sherman]

Rescue? These dudes are.

[Will Compton]

Badass.

[Sherman]

Yeah. Like, of course. I love to pride myself on badassery you. We're not even close to these guys. These, the Navy seals, man, they are a different breed. Like, these guys are.

[Will Compton]

Assassins.

[Sherman]

Yeah. The hell week that you learn about, read about, hear about, you might see a YouTube video and get a little motivated, like. But when you try to actually get some context and try to actually picture yourself in that world. World, they are different animals.

[Will Compton]

A. So I went to school in San Diego my freshman year, and the island Coronado, I.

[Sherman]

Believe. Yeah, it's something like that with the. The and everything else that you get to kind of go around and see. When we went to the Holiday bowl for San Diego, we'd get to. We got to go and, like, tour that stuff and kind of be.

[Will Compton]

Around. You got to go to the Navy base on Point Loma. Yeah. Which is where I went to school. School. And then there's the island of Coronado, where the seals train. And I was on Coronado island and I saw the seals and those afflate inflatable kind of looking boats that you see in the movies. And it just has the one mower on the.

[Sherman]

Back.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Or the one motor on the back. And all these boats take off in this one. Boat stops and it looks like complete engine failure. There's not smoke coming out of it. But I just see this one guy ripping this cord. Ripping this cord. I'm talking 20 minutes of him ripping this cord with the guy just in his ear yelling at him the entire time. And he sat there for 20 minutes ripping that cord. And finally the motor started back up and they went. I was like, dude, I couldn't even do that 10 times. Think about ripping a boat motor for 20 minutes.

[Sherman]

Straight.

[Will Compton]

Straight. These guys are psychos.

[Sherman]

Bro. They.

[Will Compton]

Are. In the best way. In the best.

[Sherman]

Way. Yeah, of course. In a good.

[Will Compton]

Way.

[Sherman]

Yeah. Well, you're asking me, who do I picture myself as in the show? It's like, I love to have fun about off Chris Pratt or Taylor Kitsch, but, dude, these. These guys are different.

[Will Compton]

Animals. They are different. You're a different animal on pubg, though.

[Sherman]

Pubg. We talking a bit. A bit of a different.

[Will Compton]

Game. Yeah, yeah.

[Sherman]

Yeah. Are we talking I'm a.

[Will Compton]

Warrior? You are.

[Sherman]

Sir. I'm.

[Will Compton]

Surgical. Cool. You are. You are.

[Sherman]

I. Hey, don't kid yourself now, you. Can you sling some.

[Will Compton]

Lead? Hey, come on. You're only as good as your team. Yeah, Only good is your team. And we got a stream for the PT sickos. I. I do have this email. This is from Troy Johnson. Troy says, what up, fellas? Troy from North Carolina. I'm a two time PT sicko with a three year old son and a one year old daughter. Daughter. I listen to the podcast every week and always pick up something new. It's powerful hearing from other dads in the trenches. In the trenches, embracing the suck and trying to be intentional. I'm in the army so I'm away from home more than I'd like. A few weeks ago my son fell and hit his head on the arm of a couch. Friday night right at bedtime, we made the classic ER run for a second staple. Good. He handled it like a champ. I cried more than he did. Dude I love that. That Monday I left the training knowing that the day I got home the first thing I'd have to do was take him back to have the staple removed. After a after a week away all I wanted was to walk through the door to two screaming kids and my beautiful wife. But in the back of my mind I was dreading another hospital trip. It breaks my heart to see fear or pain in my kids eyes. Guys on the drive I threw on the podcast to finish the shifting your perspective episode. A few minutes in and Willie C. Is talking about exactly that perspective. Something clicked. Instead of thinking, man, I just got out of the field and now I have to take him straight to the doctor, I shifted it to how lucky am I that I get to be here for him when he needs me most. I get to comfort him when he's scared. I get to carry some of the weight so my wife doesn't have to do it all alone. Today was a good day and once again my son was a trooper. Ice cream at 10am on the way home was non negotiable. I'd be remiss to not shout out my wife. She holds down the house while I'm away, often solo and far from family. She deserves a first round bid to the MT Sixer hall of Fame, coined and created by Troy Johnson. She's the strongest woman I know. Know I'll leave you with the dad hack. Marry a partner who pushes you to be the best version of yourself. Amen brother. My only real fear is that our kids are going to love her way more than me. And honestly, I can't blame them. The three of us are blessed to have her. Y' all motivate me to be a better father and husband. Keep crying boys. PT6.

[Sherman]

Out. That is awesome bro. And amen to that. Dad.

[Will Compton]

Hack. What a dad.

[Sherman]

Hack. Dude, what was. Repeat exactly what he said with the dad hack. Like marry a partner that, that pushes.

[Will Compton]

You. Marry a partner who push you to be the best version of yourself.

[Sherman]

And that partner again when they're pushing you, it's going to piss you off a little bit. Oh, when you have that.

[Will Compton]

Perspective. Oh.

[Sherman]

Yeah. God, a ride or die. Amen to that. And what, it fires me up that he's able to shift, you know, his perspective in times of like, you know, thinking this dude's in the army. Yeah. Like this dude's a hero. And to come home and shift back into dad life, I, I can, I can only imagine that's not easy. It's not easy. Like when you have a career and you're of kind coming home after all the stress that you're weighing, you're thinking about a billion different things. And shifting back into dad mode is, is a very hard thing to do. Shifting back into mom mode, parent mode, whatever it is, it's always hard to do. But it fires me up for him because that, that dude is a badass to the world. And also like his kid, like he, the kid is going to see him like such a hero one day and what a position he's in to teach, whether it's resilience and toughness because, you know, that's what he wants to do with his.

[Will Compton]

Boy.

[Sherman]

Yeah. You know, he, he's ready to do all these things where you, you see him hit the, he's, he hits his head, he cries. You're probably, you know, you were very masculine, man. I assume he's as masculine as they come. But what an opportunity in pocket he's going to be in when those moments and lessons do come. When your boy feels so safe and secure with you, like when you are, you know, having kind of those positive disciplines or, or nurturing him in a way to where, you know, it's not like soft and weak. But your dad, like, he feels safe with you in those moments where he has weakness or wants to learn lessons. Like, what better example to learn from than somebody who's in the damn military, you know what I mean? It's just really cool. It's cool to hear him write that in and talk about kind of his perspective shift and everything else. Because I just, I like to view it as he's going to be in such a great spot when his kid does need him for some reason. Real lessons that he will be able to teach him, like when those times come and just enjoying the moments he does get with them because, like, I don't know what his scheduling and everything else is. It's gotta suck to be deployed, it's gotta suck to, you know, have to leave your family. So appreciate you writing that in. Yeah. Matter of fact, for the. For the lesson, there's one that I. I was reading on again, I've read the last couple days from the Daily dad that I threw in my bookmarks, but it's called the. The river of Change. And forgive me if I've read this one before, but again, this is one that's kind of came into me, kind of like looking at it the last couple days. It's just. It's been. The one that's been in front of my face, but it's called the river of. The river of Change. And this is. This was posted by the Daily Dad. And this is advice from the parents. Tao Te Ching. You can get a copy from the bookstore, Painted Porch Book Shop. But this one is called river of Change. The child you see today will not be here tomorrow. The child arriving home from school is different from the one who left from home the this morning. Every moment is a death of all that has gone before and a birth of all that is to come. You must jump into the river and let it carry you on its journey. If you try to stop it, you will drown. Now that I'm reading that, part of me thinks I've read that one.

[Will Compton]

Before. Yeah, I don't think you.

[Sherman]

Have. Okay. Because it's a. It's an awesome one I got in my bookmarks. Which, by the way, look, the boomer alert here. Like the bookmark stuff on social media that you can kind of file away in a different way. Little. Yeah, different little subjects. You might be laughing. You might be thinking, that's a funny willism right.

[Will Compton]

There. I don't.

[Sherman]

Know. People on top of that. Like, that's something you should for sure tap.

[Will Compton]

Into. No, I was thinking about how I haven't gone into my bookmarks folder in a while. I need to go look and see what I have been.

[Sherman]

Bookmarking. It's so great to kind of organize everything. It's like I got stoicism ones. I got a children's.

[Will Compton]

Bookmark. Oh, yeah, you broke it down into.

[Sherman]

Different. Yeah, I got like a rehab one for my low back. Like, I got all these different, different little. It's like my Pinterest.

[Will Compton]

Board. I love.

[Sherman]

That. I. Yeah, you'll laugh too. I got so many on. On X on Twitter. Like, I got college football, NFL leadership for the dads, quotes, content, ideas, Nebraska.

[Will Compton]

Receipts. I.

[Sherman]

Wish. So money, books, fatherhood, stocks, diet.

[Will Compton]

Movies. I just want to be in Will Compton's brain for just, like, 30 minutes. I just want to be in your brain for.

[Sherman]

Minutes. Oh, this is gonna be a good.

[Will Compton]

One. Some of the breakdowns of the social media stuff that will. Will do with me of and Sherman. I'm telling. I'm telling them this two weeks in advance because I know the Broncos are playing the Chargers, and what they're gonna. This is what they. They always do this, and this is what they're gonna do. I'm gonna set them up for this. And then when Bo Nicks ends up beating the Chargers, I already got it ready for him, and that's when I bring it out, and I'm like, holy. Like, he really is a savant with the social media stuff in a way. Way of like, how are you game planning this two weeks out? My bookmark list would put me on a watch list from just all the memes that I bookmark. I'm like, oh, that would be good. Oh, that would be.

[Sherman]

Good. See, I'll hit the memes and I'll save, and I'll just go into my albums and move it to a memes. A memes album. But that is smart to just bookmark. Have a. I'm gonna do.

[Will Compton]

That. Okay, that's.

[Sherman]

Easy. That's a.

[Will Compton]

You're.

[Sherman]

You're. You're weeding out two extra.

[Will Compton]

Clicks. Yeah. I have gotta fall stuff away. Gotta fall stuff away. I have a quote. Can I say one thing about Wills? Have you ever heard of a guy named Gabber Mate? He's a very famous, like, philosopher recently. He does a lot about the body and how it, like, it's not. He didn't write the book. He keeps score. But he was on a podcast lately. He said something that no siblings have the same childhood. And it's this thing that comes out that, like, the. The children. It reminded me of what you said about the. The child that you let go doesn't come back the same way. Same way. And he said it's very important to remember that just because two kids grew up in the same house, no, they didn't. Like, the parents treat them different, and what they come home to is different. And the way things are different because of each other. It just reminded me of that where, like, everything that your child will do seems to, like, change them than the person that you let go. It was just really cool. Yeah, I'll send you the.

[Sherman]

Clip. That's always fascinating, too, because, like, you know, you'll grow up in the household. It's. I got two other brothers, like, if some, you know, if one does something, something out of the ordinary. That's bizarre. It's like the. The parents are sitting there talking like, we all grew up in the same damn house. Like, how is so and so being this way when we all came from the same damn household? You know what I mean? Yeah. But I'm also realizing that too with. With Rue and Scotty. And again, it's like going to. Thinking of all the first you go through with Rue and then all the things that Scotty's doing that was different. Different than with Rue because Rue was our only child at the time to her Char. And I'd be like, hey, do we have the, you know, the age appropriate toys that Scotty could be playing with? Scotty's a minute. She's all over the house. She's getting a cabin. She's all a sweetheart. You can't be. You can't be climbing all over this. She'll be grabbing all the ollipops that are on the lower shelf in the pantry, and she'll just be knocking them all off. She got in the water bowl.

[Will Compton]

Again today, and she's just everywhere, water.

[Sherman]

Bowl. And I'm just like, do we not. We got toys? But I'm thinking like, oh, have we dug in and got the right ones? Because when it was just Rue, it's like we were both so intentional with Rue and all the stuff she was doing to keep her occupied and giving her attention and everything else. Not saying we don't give Scotty attention, but it reminds us that, like, hey, like, we had all this certain time that we spent with Rue, like, we need to be making sure that we're doing the same stuff with Scotty and the same excitement and everything else. Because they're going to grow from a lens of rock. Rue is always the first child, and they're going to be seeing us experiencing first with Rue, and then if we have a lapse or we have a few lapses with her that will like, subconsciously be in her brain of that whole second child syndrome that I feel like evolves over time, that if you're not sitting there watering this, the plant kind of the same way, it's not like we're wanting them to be the same, but it's almost like as parents, being very aware that you want to kind of have the similar reactions, experiences, things that you're doing with Scotty, like when she gets old enough enough, like, you know, taking the rule on lunch dates, but making sure I take. It's just me and Scotty and Mom has time with just Scotty to where it doesn't seem like Rue's the leader of the whole thing, and Scotty just kind of fits in with.

[Will Compton]

Us.

[Sherman]

Yeah. You know what I mean? You bringing that up. It's like, that's always a very fascinating thing to think about, because I think of my household, when something goes sideways with any of us, it's like. It's just crazy because we all grew up in the same household. Feel like you grew up in the same discipline. X, Y, and Z. And now that I'm Have. Have my two kiddos, and I'm almost putting myself in the shoes of Scotty, a lot of times I think of my young brothers on, like, oh, I could see how some of this stuff kind of shaped who they were. When I'm the oldest brother, and they always talk about, like, you know, first child syndromes, all that stuff. You feel like you're the more responsible one. You feel like all these different pressures that the first child has. Then you feel like the youngest one. Oh, dude, you have it so easy. Mom and dad never cared about, blah, blah, blah. You got to do X, Y, and Z all the time. They weren't as strict on.

[Will Compton]

You.

[Sherman]

Yeah. And then probably from their vantage point, they have a much different lens of, like, yeah, but you were taken care of the absolute most. They checked in on you the most. And didn't care as much about me. That might be their story. They tell them whether it was the reality or not is. Is whatever. But just constantly, like, thinking about those things. Like, when you have multiple children, now that I have two, I'm like, very much, hey, Scotty, we gotta make sure, like, we're just as, you know, give her this. Not, like, same amount of attention, but you're giving her that intentional time. Time all the time. Because she. We got a little tribal for.

[Will Compton]

Now. Yeah. And I mean, it will be different naturally, too, just from their DNA makeup of, like, you know, Rue might go lean super heavy into the art stuff. Scotty might be a sicko soccer player, and she's got her soccer. Like, yeah, the. Everything will paint its own picture. I know exactly what you mean of just like, my brother wasn't allowed to watch PG13 until he was 13. Thirteen. And then my mom comes home, and I'm six years old on the couch with my dad watching Gladiator. She's like, what are you. What are you doing? And he's like, it's this great movie. Like, what? What do you mean, what am I doing? It. It's funny. It's.

[Sherman]

Funny. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. I have a. I have a quick quote. You read one from C.S. lewis last week. I have one from his good friend J R.

[Sherman]

Tolkien.

[Will Compton]

Okay. Who's one of my faves. This was a letter that Tolkien and writ wrote to his son Christopher. And it's just a quote about fatherhood. He says a man who is wise and can and good can learn from his own children. And a parent's task is not to dominate, but to guide, to help them grow straight, but not to force them into any shape.
