Bussin’ With The Boys: Will Compton’s Struggle With Morning Routines & Date Nights | For The Dads

Released: August 27, 2025

Overview

In this episode of “For The Dads,” Will Compton and Sherman Young dive deeply into the daily wins, losses, and hilarious chaos of modern fatherhood. The focus is on intentional parenting: embracing the struggles with morning routines, prioritizing date nights, sharing community “dad hacks,” and celebrating the small victories (and losses) of dad life. They read listener comments, take hotline voice messages, debut new PT6 merch, and close with Sherman’s heartfelt, tear-jerking “lesson of the week.” It’s a mix of practical advice, raw relatability, and laugh-out-loud banter, powered by their signature “good” attitude.

The Emotional Core: Bravery and Vulnerability

Sherman’s lesson on bravery is a moving deep-dive into the power of confronting fear for yourself, your kids, and your marriage:

“Bravery is not the absence of fear. It’s the identification and self-diagnosis of fear, and then the decision to act in spite of the fear… That neurological cocktail can override fear, especially in moments of anger, sadness, or frustration.”

— Sherman (116:17, 120:57)

He tears up giving the iconic “Hardball” G-baby funeral monologue, tension both funny and deeply real, showing how stories of youth, family, and courageous love can shake even the toughest dad.

---

Community Lessons and Reflections

• Listeners and hosts agree: Parenting is a hard, ongoing “work in progress,” and emotional transparency is a must.
  • “You hear other voices talk about certain things... I go through the same too.” — Will (87:19)
• Success is not about mastery or perfection, but about community accountability and “showing up brave,” every day.

---

Conclusion

This episode is equal parts hilarious, heartwarming, and practical—a relatable therapy session for intentional parents. Whether it’s routine struggles, making time for connection, handling discipline, or just sharing a win with the community, Will, Sherman, and their PT6 tribe keep it real: open, vulnerable, and always ready to yell “good!” in the messiest moments of dad life.

Key lesson:
Bravery is contagious—lead by example for your kids, your spouse, and your own sanity. And never forget to “crack a cold one” for the small wins.

I do want to say we've been seeing all the photos we've been seeing everybody respond to us or or post photos to us on social media. Congratulations to all the new fathers and all the new dads out there joining pt6. We create this show for dads that want to be for dads that are intentional at home who are looking to be more intentional through stories that we tell, through stories that we share from comments that you guys leave, from stories that you share with us in our DMs or on social media and just we also have a hotline 601 the dads will be will be featuring a few phone calls and we just want to create a space.

We create this content to give you guys a little laugh, maybe share or feel a type of emotion. But this, this show we give you for free. All we simply ask in return if we bring the juice. General Sherm over there, Willie One Shelf. I see that that nickname is kind of catching on.

[Sherman Young]

It's catching on.

[Will Compton]

Kind of love it. Also kind of hate how it was born, but I love people hit me with Willie One Shelf. All. All we ask in return is that you simply subscribe to our channel. That you simply follow us on social media for the deadpod. Follow us on Apple, follow us on Spotify. Spotify. Now their platform is evolving into a little bit of a social media esque platform. I see that there's comments now on Spotify, but all you got to do on Spotify is hit the follow button. That would really help out the boys a lot. And if you, if you really want to be a PT6 sicko and you want to solidify yourself in the rank of Papa Team 6 or maybe you're in buds trading right now, which is breeding until dad status or you're on Milk Team 6. We're going to read a couple of comments from Milk Team Sixers out there. The moms. BWTB.com hats hoodies. We had new hoodie drop this week. Matter of fact, Cooper Comstock, our graphics designer, he was just in here feeling me up. Legend. This is his favorite hoodie he's seen. He actually wants to buy his dad. So spoiler alert. If Papa Coop, if Papa Coop is out there watching, he wants to get you this hoodie which is embroidered, got dad across the chest. The colors, navy blue, red, cream, the BWTB etched on the side. But that is how you become a true PT6 sicko. That's how you truly solidify yourself in the Papa Team Six regime. Because again, we have PT6 shirts. They're being shown out there. Guys. We love it. Yes, we love it.

[Sherman Young]

We love it. And if there's anything that, that, not that I pride myself on, but I really try to do is if there is a product that we are pushing and I really love it. I, I try to really be like, hey, this is a good product. And the hoodie, I put a tweet out and I was like, I know that this is our podcast obviously, but that thing is comfy. It is com.

[Will Compton]

This Is ain't no cheap on this. On this hood. On this hoodie. This is a durable, super comfortable, embroidered.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Hoodie. We also got the pennants behind Sherm that you can cop. We got the onesies. We got onesies out that we just dropped with just Good God written on the ones.

[Sherman Young]

Onesies.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Should we tease? Shout out Jocko Willink.

[Sherman Young]

Hey, shout out Jocko Willick. Should we tease what else might be coming out with Good. Because there's been some conversations. Correct, chef. On another good product that might be coming soon.

[Derek Whiten]

That's correct.

[Sherman Young]

Do we want to tease it right now?

[Will Compton]

Listen, I, you know. You know, Willie, one shelf. I'm. I'm trying to catch up right now. What. What exactly are we teasing with the good. It fires me up. I say go ahead and tease it. You're teasing me.

[Sherman Young]

I'll. I'll act it out as he describes it and then we'll see if you can guess it.

[Will Compton]

Okay. If you're. If you're listening on audio, this would be a great time to tune into YouTube.

[Sherman Young]

I would turn it up. I would turn it up.

[Will Compton]

All right.

[Derek Whiten]

I'm. I'm currently described.

[Will Compton]

Oh, Sherm is burp cloths. Burp cloth.

[Sherman Young]

Burp cloths.

[Will Compton]

Dude, I am. I'm solid at, like, well, catchphrase. That's that you can use words, but like charades, you get a little family game night going on.

[Sherman Young]

You are good at charades. You are competitive. We did that one Friday stream. We. We used to do the back of the bus Friday.

[Will Compton]

We did what was a salad bowl.

[Sherman Young]

Yes. Which is like a form of charades for anybody that's ever heard of salad bowl. You were cooking. Who was your teammate? Oh, no, you were like all time quarterback. Like, you were on everybody's team.

[Will Compton]

You were a beast as well, Sherm. I.

[Sherman Young]

Come on.

[Will Compton]

Come on.

[Sherman Young]

I'm good at acting. Not as good at guessing.

[Will Compton]

If you're going to be a dad and you still got that competitive nature in you, you have to be good at at game nights. Yeah, I think it's a prerequisite. Prerequisite.

[Sherman Young]

Were y' all doing game nights when you were like a kid or was that a later in life thing?

[Will Compton]

Game nights, like family game nights?

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Will Compton]

No, we would do. We would do like, you know, me and the boys, like, we'd be playing Pokemon, Monopoly. You know, you'd be playing Clue, Stratego. Guess who.

[Sherman Young]

God, guess who was so Electric Checkers.

[Will Compton]

The amount there's this little race car game that we would play. It was phenomenal.

[Sherman Young]

What. What type of.

[Will Compton]

No, I forget what it is, but it's kind of like a roll. It's kind of like a, you know, spin the wheel. Dice roll. Oh, spinning the wheel. Was it called life?

[Sherman Young]

Life. Did you ever have the racetracks with the. The gun of, like, it. The gun basically made the car go fast whenever you pulled the trigger. And it's 2v2.

[Derek Whiten]

Like Hot Wheels?

[Will Compton]

No, it's.

[Sherman Young]

It's kind of like Hot Wheels, but it's like you basically have to gauge the speed on the straightaways and, like, release the speed when your car goes into the turn, because if you hold the trigger down on the turn, you're going to be banging up against the walls.

[Will Compton]

I was a Hot Wheels guy. Like, you'd have the ones, but I didn't like where it be like, automatic to where they're doing the loops and going around the track. I wanted, like, side by side, you let the cars go down the hill or whatever the track is. And I would take all my cars and we wrestled growing up. So I was. I loved brackets for whatever reason. I love tournaments. So I would, like, stack and seed all of these cars and just do a massive tournament just by myself, build out headlines and storylines in my head.

[Sherman Young]

This might be the worst advice I ever give you as a fellow dad, but there are people on TikTok Live, absolute hot Wheel sickos that do exactly what you're describing right now, and they do tournament brackets and they do it on TikTok Live. And I have fallen down that rabbit hole so many times.

[Will Compton]

Got a favorite car?

[Sherman Young]

They do. They keep the score.

[Will Compton]

And it's like, as they should.

[Sherman Young]

Batmobile has 20 wins. Who? Dude, who's the Speed Racer? Speed Racer car had like, eight wins.

[Will Compton]

I love that.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, it's. It's electric.

[Will Compton]

But the parents would always be paying. Playing like, you know, like rummy or some. They'd have, like, an adult little game night. Oh, you're playing cards and stuff like that. But, you know, that was, like, over or. What is it called? Phase 10.

[Sherman Young]

Is that a style?

[Will Compton]

Does that sound right? Got a new social guy. His name is Derek. We got a new social guy, his name is Derek. Say shout out, Derek in the chat.

[Sherman Young]

Shout out, Derek.

[Derek Whiten]

Never played phase 10, but it's in that pile of dad and mom games that I wasn't allowed to touch as a kid.

[Will Compton]

Exactly. Right there.

[Sherman Young]

Exactly.

[Derek Whiten]

Never able to grab onto it.

[Will Compton]

And you knew when they were playing, you couldn't bother them.

[Sherman Young]

No, not at all.

[Derek Whiten]

And they kept score and they made up the scores every time. I don't know who was winning, but.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, celebrate like they did.

[Derek Whiten]

Just kept going with it.

[Sherman Young]

They just look. They look awesome at their table. I had to get a picture.

[Will Compton]

Oh, you took a photo? Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

Please, please put up the picture.

[Will Compton]

That's a great move too. Thank you. You see a moment happening, you just wanna. Just wanna snap a photo.

[Sherman Young]

We got Derek's first time on the mic. I wish that we had Chef's first time on the mic, but we got a lot of pics of Chef.

[Will Compton]

We could have some new viewers and listeners tuned in. We should probably break down. Oh, Pennant just fell down in the.

[Sherman Young]

Back and it still looks good.

[Will Compton]

It does. Have you ever good. No. Lean like that and still look good. I'll get a. I'll build a shelf for it. I'll hang a shelf. We got the least I could do Willie, one shelf.

[Sherman Young]

We could do that after this recording. I actually have my drill and I have some screws. We could have old Willie one shelf. Redeem himself.

[Will Compton]

Well, I was going to say is there could be new viewers tuned in that, you know, I gave him a little bit of what we talk about at the top of the show, but we go over dad losses things we crack a cold one to our ups and downs of fatherhood. I already mentioned the hotline. We got dad hacks. We got survival kids, which, by the way, I'm going to have to lean on some dads for a dad hack myself. So I'm going to be asking the audience here in a little bit. Should we. Should we hit comments?

[Sherman Young]

I would love to hit comments, dude.

[Will Compton]

Let's hit comments.

[Sherman Young]

I'm a little bit frustrated because I meant to go onto Apple podcasts because I found some comments on Apple podcasts.

[Will Compton]

I haven't even dove on that platform yet. That fires me up.

[Sherman Young]

They're shouting into the ether because, like, who reads Apple? But some of the Apple podcast comments are heat. Yeah, I wish I had pulled it up.

[Will Compton]

But just a. I wish that I had pulled it up.

[Sherman Young]

A blanket statement. Shout out pt6 sickos that commented on Apple podcast.

[Will Compton]

You love to see too. The PT6ers are getting so confident in who they are that I've been seeing people do like, just their own post shouting out for the dads.

[Sherman Young]

Yes.

[Will Compton]

You see that one family photo? They just had their second one. I bookmarked it so I can pull it up, but they just had their second one. But he's like, if you're not tuned in for the dads, you're missing out like all this stuff, like giving those shout outs. I'm telling you, it warms the boys hearts.

[Sherman Young]

It does.

[Will Compton]

We shared in the group chat.

[Sherman Young]

We need to start screenshotting the group chat. Whenever we send stuff to each other that's like, gets us juiced. Because there. There are multiple times that will send something and be like, I cannot believe this is real.

[Will Compton]

Right.

[Sherman Young]

Like those sickos that created that group chat on Instagram with you and me.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, but how do we open up that group chat to any pt6? So the. The chat is called pt6 sickos. And Sherm's in the lore. Like Sherm is. He'll dive in. I'm not. I wouldn't be surprised if he has a Reddit lore going on out there. This is a guy who dives in rabbit holes. He's on all the message boards. He's tapped into everything underground under the table. And he sent me a screenshot that on Instagram, there was a chat that was made called PT6 Sickos. And they're just dropping us a bunch of sick AI graphics and photos of the Papa Team 6 bears not even.

[Sherman Young]

Trying to get hired. They're doing it for the love of the game.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, what was it? Raccoon, Rakuna, Bin Laden? They're creating like, all the. Some of the moments that we've talked about. And I'm like, how do we open this up to all the sickos that want to be involved in this? Yes, that would be a better question for you. Maybe that's some Facebook chat or something. I don't even know how that works.

[Derek Whiten]

We could do a Facebook group. I brought up Reddit, but I forgot what it was. Something about we couldn't do Reddit.

[Sherman Young]

We can't do.

[Derek Whiten]

We can't naturally make a Reddit.

[Sherman Young]

We can't naturally make a Red.

[Derek Whiten]

There's some sickos out there, big Redditors.

[Will Compton]

Why can't we naturally make a Reddit? That.

[Sherman Young]

It's like a unofficial official law of Reddit where, like, it can't be used for marketing purposes. Like, we can't go, oh, let's like.

[Will Compton]

Our brand can't stand up before the dad's Reddit for marketing.

[Sherman Young]

Once they get any sniff of, oh, let's secretly have Chef start one and then, oh, we'll throw in some topics to get the people talking. They'll be like, this feels very like.

[Derek Whiten]

So even if someone. If a sicko out there makes one, we can't pin a comment that we.

[Sherman Young]

Could interact with it, but we can't help drive It.

[Will Compton]

So what you're saying is this is where the PT6ers see an opportunity to just make their Reddit page. And they're the ones driving. They're the ones driving it. Like, we can't lead it. We can't. Can we interact with it?

[Sherman Young]

Willie, one shelf can only plug the A gap so much. We need pt6 sickos to begin plugging the A gap now.

[Will Compton]

So, Will Compton.

[Sherman Young]

Yes.

[Will Compton]

Can I have a Reddit page and interact?

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, you have a Reddit profile and, and you know, somebody is putting pictures and blah, blah, blah, and you can be like, dude, what a sicko.

[Will Compton]

Okay. I love even people. I know people out there that are like, on Reddit are just like, will, Will has. What questions are these? Like, of course you can make a profile.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, you can make a profile.

[Will Compton]

But that would be fun. If we get it. If there's a Reddit, there's a listen. The PT6ers, the sickos want to make a Reddit out there. That could be something we lean on as like another message board. Because I just, I mostly rock the YouTube comments.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

And for everybody listening too, like, just, this is a, this is a tip for the PT6ers, for the dad's listeners. Little hack, so to speak.

[Sherman Young]

Okay.

[Will Compton]

We record our episodes right now. We're in the cadence of recording on Fridays, which, by the way, Happy Pizza Friday.

[Sherman Young]

Happy Pizza Friday.

[Will Compton]

So episode releases every Wednesday, 6am in the morning. We, we record the episode for the next week on Friday. So there's about a 48 hour window to where we will gather the information or comments that have been laid out. Only, you know, those, those couple days is all you have. So if you leave one, you know, in the weekend or going into the next week, they, they, they're going to miss the episode. We would have to circle back to them after the fact. So if you're watching and listening right now and you do, if you got a banger out there that you want to be seen or hey, why have they. I thought I laid a nice little comment out there. If you do it in those first 48 hours, that's your best opportunity because we always record. Yeah, we record on Fridays and we.

[Sherman Young]

Need to figure out when we're going to record for next week. Because you travel.

[Will Compton]

I know next week's a big week. Next week is a very exciting week. Like football season's kicking off. I saw somebody in the locker room say it too. So we're getting busting with the boys on Tuesdays. We got the locker room and for the dads on Wednesdays, locker or locker room, College football on Wednesdays, locker room, NFL on Thursdays.

[Sherman Young]

Is that inside the bus on Thursdays?

[Will Compton]

Inside the bus on Thursdays or Fridays? But yeah, we're. The boys are going to be rolling basically all week long on our programming. So if you're a fan of busting with the boys, all the content we put out, we're going to be in a pretty strong cadence throughout the entire football season. I'm a little nervous about a pod taking a hit because it'll be football season. Yeah, we just. We need the PT6ers to stand strong.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah. The Sunday, the Sunday late night, late night radio might have to come back.

[Will Compton]

What does that mean for.

[Sherman Young]

For the dads? Like, like those Sunday.

[Will Compton]

Oh, us recording on Sunday. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So yeah, if we switch over recording. All I'm saying is if you want your stuff to be seen and potentially talked about on our show, we record on Fridays after the, you know, the most recent Wednesday release. So you got about 48 hours if you're trying to get to us one that I'll start off with Martha Burn E51. This is from Milk. This is a Milk Team 6 operator here. I'd like to issue a Bravo Zulu to Sherman One Shelf for fully indoctrinating my husband on the PT6. My favorite is when his. It's his turn to change a blowout. And all I hear up in the changing room is good.

[Sherman Young]

I'm so stoked about that comment, but I'm so heartbroken because I had Martha's comment right there at the top.

[Will Compton]

We should collab. We should do a better job of our pre pro meetings.

[Sherman Young]

You're fine, you're fine.

[Will Compton]

I got a lot, though. Like, I was screenshotting a lot.

[Sherman Young]

You know. It's a good comment though, if that's your first one. And that was my first one too. So well done, Martha. And I googled. I didn't know what Bravo Zulu meant. And it's military jargon for well done. It's a little code there. Little Bravo Zulu.

[Will Compton]

Well done.

[Sherman Young]

Well done.

[Will Compton]

Go ahead, rip one.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, ripping.

[Will Compton]

This is where. This is where we play off. And you just now you rolling now.

[Sherman Young]

Now, Will, I saw this other comment. Andrew Greave7575 said, Need a camo PT6 hat for hunting season. Not only do I love that comment, Chef loved that comment. Poked me on the shoulder. What? Yesterday and said, did you see that camo hat comment? It's like, sure. Did you see that camel we started sending back and forth some camo patterns. Got us a little excited.

[Derek Whiten]

I knew when I saw that one, I go, sherm's gonna wanna.

[Will Compton]

Sherm's gonna want to see that one.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, yeah.

[Will Compton]

Papa Sherm.

[Derek Whiten]

Sherman Young Senior.

[Sherman Young]

Sherman Young Senior would.

[Will Compton]

Would love to see that one.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, yeah. But.

[Will Compton]

Oh, Willie Senior or Willie Jr. Would love that one.

[Sherman Young]

That's crazy that you're the third. I always forget that.

[Will Compton]

I love it. I need a boy. I need a fourth.

[Sherman Young]

Speaking of third, what's our third comment from Sarah?

[Will Compton]

I'm living in the Milk Team Six trenches. Living in the Milk Team Six trenches right here. Currently on maternity leave. Sarah, I hope you are doing well. Milk Team 6 here. The amount of disappointment I had this week when I realized it was only Tuesday and not Wednesday, and I had to wait a whole another day for a new episode. Love you guys with the emoji. With the emoji.

[Sherman Young]

Ooh. I have Colin Perkins here. 4, 6, 3, 1, 9. Goomba Ray. General Perkins checking in with the Salute emoji. Oh, General Perkins, welcome.

[Will Compton]

Let's see, let's see, because I got a couple I want to play with. Sherman.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, I do have a good one, Luku. Luigi said, will he see if. If you and the boys ever need a fourth when you're a man down. I'm a PUBG OG. Veteran. PT6 out.

[Will Compton]

By the way. He's talking about pubg. Jared, before we started the show, came and tapped me on the shoulder. Did he tell you the good news? This is how for the. For the females out there, for the wives and women that have a man that are. That love gaming. I love gaming with the boys. The men watching this will understand what I'm about to describe. But here's a little insight for the females watching on how our brains work and how this excites the piss out of us. So I'm sitting here and Jerry comes up. He's like, hey, I just got on the phone. I just want to check in before you start for the dads. And I'm like, yeah, what's going on? Is everything all right? He's like, hey, my mom just called. She's sick. And I'm like, oh, shit. Is everything all right? He's like, oh, yeah, yeah. Everything's totally fine. I'm just not driving home this weekend, so I'm going to. His girlfriend is leaving town, so he's got the spot to himself for, like, the next. Was it four, five, six days?

[Sherman Young]

Oh, yeah.

[Will Compton]

He's like, I'm wide open. Whenever you need me, it can be 2pm on a Saturday. I know you got the kiddos, but I'm just letting you know that I'm ready to operate on pubg at any point this weekend because I got the house to myself and we start dapping up. He's like, my mom's. My mom's all good, though. I just want you to know my mom's okay. She's got the flu. She'll be good.

[Sherman Young]

I, I, Unfortunately, I have a dad loss. And we can go back to the comments after this. But I do have a dad loss.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, Go ahead, share. Please share.

[Sherman Young]

My wife and my daughter, Scarlett, we, you know, we're traveling to Texas for Labor Day weekend. Unfortunately, they'll be staying in Texas for a whole other week. So I'll be home alone for that next week. No, I know. So I'll be really bored. I'll just be sitting around and I don't know, if you're your wife, you're.

[Will Compton]

Gonna have the house to yourself.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, I'm gonna have. Unfortunately, I'm gonna have the house to myself.

[Will Compton]

That sounds lonely.

[Sherman Young]

It is. It's a big dad loss. So if you just ever want to check in on me, see what I'm doing, like around 7:38pm and just check on me, that would really mean the world, dude. And that. That would be. It'll be for seven unfortunate days that I'll be.

[Will Compton]

When is she gone again? She.

[Sherman Young]

Unfortunately, it will be from that Monday to the following Monday. I know, I know.

[Derek Whiten]

Bummer.

[Will Compton]

I bet when she told you, you're like.

[Sherman Young]

I bet. I know.

[Will Compton]

We're like, sweetheart, no.

[Sherman Young]

We're in the early parts of the episode. Have we gone long enough to where I, I can. Cuss.

[Will Compton]

I think so. But we do go. I just. We got to pace ourselves because we got to keep it under.

[Sherman Young]

That is true. So I want. I won't officially cuss, but I did. She told me the terrible news. I went, Are you serious?

[Will Compton]

What she say when you did that?

[Sherman Young]

She said, well, it's only seven days, but. Seven days.

[Will Compton]

You're taking Scarlet with you for seven days? I just, I, I know you said that. I just want to be clear. You're taking the kid with you, so.

[Sherman Young]

It'S just going to be me, huh? You're leaving old dad all home by himself. Golly.

[Will Compton]

That's one where you got to go. You got to go to your knees.

[Sherman Young]

Honey, please.

[Will Compton]

Hey, tell me the news. Okay. Okay. You come in.

[Sherman Young]

Your, your, your Jill.

[Will Compton]

I'll be you.

[Sherman Young]

So, yeah, when you fly back on Monday? We're actually not flying back. I thought it'd be good if I spent like a week with my family, you know, and they got to out with Scarlet.

[Will Compton]

What?

[Sherman Young]

What?

[Will Compton]

You're leaving the house for an entire week?

[Sherman Young]

Yeah. Oh, honey. What, did you have something planned?

[Will Compton]

No, I just. I. Contrary to how you feel, I. I love you. I love being around you. I love. I love. I love fathering Scarlet. And you're telling me you're going to be gone for seven days?

[Sherman Young]

It's just seven days. Oh, Will. Will, you can hang out with your friends. Maybe y' all play that video game sometime.

[Will Compton]

I guess. I mean, they're busy, but I. I'll tap in with them. I'll see they got lives, too. And it's not like I don't love. I. I know you think I love the game, but I don't love the game that much to where it's like, oh, my. My family's leaving town for some seven days. I wish you were staying in town the whole time. Like, that's boring to me. You're kind of leaving me on an island.

[Sherman Young]

I get that. I just thought, you know, that would. That's something that would excite you.

[Will Compton]

Pendulum. Pendulum swing so far. Oh, you know what? Maybe I could. No, no, hey, no, no, you go, because you. You're right. You've got to see your family. Your family wants to see this baby girl as much as we do. Really?

[Sherman Young]

We could just do three.

[Will Compton]

No, please, please. Now I feel bad. Now I feel bad. I'll call the guys right now and I'll just say, hey, I'm going to need some support throughout the week. I want to be on Uber Eats Heavy. I'm not going to go with the. Going to know what to make for myself. I'll get the PB and Js rocking. Trust me, I'll handle it. My health will diminish from it. But you. You go do your thing with your family.

[Sherman Young]

Hey, speaking of PB and Js, there's a great comment. I think I have it written down here somewhere if I can't find it, but basically, this dude. Oh, here it is. This from BMA88. He's said, Boys, I'm in the trenches this week. Wife is mad at me because I ate all the peanut butter last night. And now the kids can't have PB&J for lunch. Good. I was like, that's the most dad thing.

[Will Compton]

That's the most dad move. Because you got it when that happens. And it's like, oh yeah, they are. Why did I eat the last of the peanut butter?

[Sherman Young]

And I love that he said he finished the peanut butter last night. You know that boy wasn't making a sandwich, he was just spitting it. Yeah, he was spirited it. But that was from Brian Metcalf. Legend.

[Will Compton]

Legend. I got another one from former equipment manager. Oh, Sean Lawson, 257, new dad of 11 month old boy. Former equipment manager, two years at K State, got him one in the Big 12 this year. Then two years of sports nutrition for K State and one year sports nutrition at Nebraska got them going 10 plus. Lock that in on the fandom sportsbook as soon as you can. GBR All I will say is nothing means more than when the athletes show love to the support staff. Love the pod.

[Sherman Young]

Keep it up, dude. That gets me stoked. And our boy, the Arkansas equipment manager DM me. He said, hey, what's a good address? I gave him the PO Box address. He's going to ship us a bunch of swag. Arkansas swag.

[Caller - Dad Story]

Let's go.

[Sherman Young]

I was like, bro, you're way too kind.

[Will Compton]

The Arkansas was that. See you. Oh, Suey.

[Sherman Young]

And then they Pig Suey two more times.

[Will Compton]

Pig Suey.

[Sherman Young]

For all the.

[Will Compton]

I think Arkansas. I think Arkansas is going to have a tough year. You can tune in unlocker room to find that. I know you're not here to get your football knowledge from that. I have one from this is. From this. Listen, I'm going to read this and you're, you're going to think, you might think a little something for a second, but this is a guy, he's like, I stamped you on on this. I'm stamping you on this.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, me.

[Will Compton]

Us. He's standing us. It's like, it's like. It's okay to call us this.

[Sherman Young]

Okay. Okay.

[Will Compton]

Dads who have been snipped and shooting blank should be called. Should be called disabled veterans. We should create annual. An annual hang in Nashville or somewhere and call it the VFW Veterans of Father Wars. As a, as a disabled veteran US Army Calvary Scout, I approve this message. Thanks for the pod. Fat Stafford and Willie, one shelf. I'll see you boys on the wall. Oh my God.

[Sherman Young]

What was his name?

[Will Compton]

His name is Joseph Shot Miller. Was that Joseph shot Miller? 49, 28.

[Sherman Young]

Was that on YouTube?

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

How did I miss that one?

[Will Compton]

It was 18 hours ago.

[Sherman Young]

Fat Stafford and Old Willy, one shelf. Dude, those are, those are actually sick nicknames.

[Will Compton]

Those are good ones, bro. I got the couple for you. And I do. I just Want to shout you out. I know you're not going to do it yourself.

[Sherman Young]

Okay, sure.

[Will Compton]

Might have the best podcast laugh on the Internet right now. Even a reply under that. His laugh makes me laugh harder.

[Sherman Young]

Let's go.

[Will Compton]

And you got that laugh, bro.

[Sherman Young]

I'll take it, dude. I'll take it. There's a guy on Shout Out. No, I'll take it.

[Will Compton]

Take it. Catch it.

[Sherman Young]

I'll catch it.

[Will Compton]

Hold it.

[Sherman Young]

I was gonna shout somebody else out.

[Will Compton]

I know you're trying to move the. Hold it, bro. That's what men have a problem with, just taking a compliment.

[Sherman Young]

Thank you. That's a very nice compliment.

[Will Compton]

I got. Do I have any other Sher ones?

[Sherman Young]

I have one. This comes from comedian Discovery. He said, buddy, the black and white hat juices me up a little bit. I think it juices everyone up. I got a couple dms about the black hats on Twitter because there was a photo, I think, or like, a graphic of Will wearing the black and white hat, and they're like, hey, when's that drop? I was like, soon, dude. Just.

[Will Compton]

Is it out?

[Sherman Young]

It drops very soon. I would.

[Will Compton]

Is it August 26th?

[Derek Whiten]

I need to double check.

[Will Compton]

Okay.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

I might be speaking out of my ass. Captain of SE in team six. I see the look in his face. He's like, you know, I don't know if we should say.

[Derek Whiten]

I'll talk to G. We.

[Will Compton]

We'll get updated on.

[Derek Whiten]

Yeah, I'm excited for the. The bear hat, Will. It's right in front of you, but it's out of frame, but.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, here, I'll grab it.

[Derek Whiten]

It's just like Sherm's awesome visor, which will also be on BWTV.com very soon.

[Sherman Young]

But.

[Derek Whiten]

I'm just pulling comp for those.

[Will Compton]

There's. There was one on. One on Instagram that I had to. I had to. Screenshot. Screenshot. Hollow point 45. But on point, the O is a zero. I loved how y' all opened with the shout out to the guy who watches with the whole family and then talked about waiting for my mom's silly silo to get repaired so you can ride all the rides.

[Sherman Young]

I did.

[Will Compton]

I saw a couple of those.

[Sherman Young]

I did see that shout out.

[Will Compton]

I've never got watching the whole family.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, Silly Silo and the fact that we shouted out. They're watching with the kids. Yo, so, Sher, tell us how horny you really are, how much you want to mount your wife. What's going on there? I. I saw this one. This is a really good one. This is Wes Sutton, 9252 Boys. Special shout out to old Willie. One shelf on this one. I'm set to deploy on my first mission end of October. Congratulations.

[Will Compton]

Congratulations.

[Sherman Young]

Thank you for your service. Officially Joining Papa Team 6. This weekend's training op was a full redesign of the nursery closet. Tactical shelving, reinforced storage and optimizing supply lines for baby essentials. Six hours in the trenches, cutting, painting, sweating it out in the 112 degree Phoenix, Arizona heat. I've been in that heat. It's a real heat. A dry heat, but a real one. Mission complete. I'm feeling like a tier one operator until the Mrs. Returns from her R and R and calls an audible on the entire layout. Orders are clear. Scrap and redo good in all caps.

[Will Compton]

And I'm over here talking about hanging a shell. Yeah, I hear a story like that. I'm on Instagram last time I'm scrolling and I see this one dad just building a complete fucking SL slide in the backyard from start to finish. All wood, laying everything. He's making these creative, awesome Instagram reels about how he builds all this for his kids. And I'm like, God damn, he's just running laps on me right now.

[Derek Whiten]

Kai, quickly. Yeah, I've spared you from the voicemails, but we've had some dads calling with, don't spare me.

[Will Compton]

Let me get verbally assaulted on a voicemail if you need to. These dads got to get something off their chest. I've gotten a little soft.

[Sherman Young]

I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited.

[Will Compton]

Premium Wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun.

[Sherman Young]

If we made $15 bills, but it.

[Will Compton]

Turns out that that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a [e-mail] switch.

[Home Care Job Announcer]

Upfront payment of $45 for 3 month plan equivalent to $15 per month required new customer offer for first 3 months only.

Speed slow.

[Will Compton]

I got to accept it. I got to take responsibility. I got to go hand up. I was a. During that time. Love you. You need. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. But it's part of the game. It's part of what we do. You got to put. You got to be vulnerable. You got to talk about your low moments. You can't define me by one moment. You can't define me by one.

[Sherman Young]

Hey, but you got a really good nickname out of it. And they. There may be, like, bad connotation, but the denotation of Willy One Shelf is pretty sick.

[Derek Whiten]

It's kind of like a mafia. Like. Oh, it's all Willy One Shelf.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Derek Whiten]

It'd be a something you'd hear in Goodfellas.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Derek Whiten]

Doing the little. The Copacabana. It's not Copacabana. That scene where they're doing the one take.

[Sherman Young]

Yes.

[Derek Whiten]

You got Tommy two Time. Because he says everything two time. Willie One Shelf.

[Sherman Young]

Yes, Willie One Shelf. If you were to tell me if I got in trouble and somebody said, just wait till Willie One Shelf gets here, I'd be like, dude, why they.

[Will Compton]

Call him One Shelf Shelf? And look, these dads, they can jump at me. They can verbally attack me, but there are. There's a group of dads out there.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

That don't like the manual labor.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

I got to stand up and speak for.

[Sherman Young]

What are you. What are you doing this weekend? Like, truthfully, are you super busy this weekend?

[Will Compton]

More so family. It's one where you, like, lay in bed and you're like, hey, you talk to Mrs. Like, what do you. What do we want to take the kids? So I want to say Rue is doing. She has ballet. I believe on Saturday she starts that back up again.

[Sherman Young]

Okay.

[Will Compton]

But, yeah, the world is our oyster.

[Sherman Young]

I was just wondering. I. Your boy's gonna be in the trenches. I'm redoing. This all reminded me that I'm actually redoing our closet at our rent house because all the original shelves that were put in were like, lightweight. Like dorm room college kid.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

Type Shelves. And they've all one night went, I'll take a picture of it. It's actually insane.

[Will Compton]

So you're gonna be in it.

[Sherman Young]

Going to be in it. I'm going to be in the trenches. You're trying to shoot. I was going to shoot an invite and be like, hey, if you want to pop over, I could show you a thing or two. I'm not a pro.

[Will Compton]

I'm out.

[Sherman Young]

Okay. That's okay.

[Will Compton]

Repairing a closet for those reasons. I'm out.

[Sherman Young]

That's okay.

[Will Compton]

You're Willy Woodshell. Yeah. You need a shelf to hang or you want to hang a picture, but.

[Sherman Young]

I am technically hanging a shelf in the closet.

[Will Compton]

We'll see what's up.

[Sherman Young]

I digress.

[Will Compton]

You know what? Maybe people will hear this. Crazy Will can't be a homie. For the boy. For the boy. Sherm. And then maybe I'll just pop over. I pop over, I'm like, hey, dude, you're coming to help me? I'm like, no, no. We're just. Well, I'm here to get a photo. Hey, get this photo.

[Sherman Young]

Me. That's actually what I was just implying by it is like, you coming over and, like, doing two screws and being like, you know, Willie Woodshelf. Got it.

[Will Compton]

Just. That was a day, buddy. I gotta get home.

[Sherman Young]

And then I have a laser leveler, too. It would have made you look so official. Just doing the.

[Will Compton]

You're just. You're always the one. Yeah. You're always the one building and screwing and stuff. And I'm just kind of standing back, and that's a little uneven. You need a different screwdriver. Just keep handing you different tools.

[Sherman Young]

All you need in life is a high vis vest, a clipboard, and just stand 20ft back from everybody else. And just your head a little to the side and you're golden.

[Will Compton]

Dude, I saw this. I sent Charles this. This funny video this gal made on Instagram. And they're sitting here, they are cheersing, like having a wine. Yeah. Toasting glass. And then the caption over it. It's from the girl and her caption over it says, he doesn't know it yet, but we have to put a. Put the duvet on. On before bed. Nothing will chat my ass more.

[Sherman Young]

Please send that to me so I can send it.

[Will Compton]

Okay. Okay. Nothing will chat my ass more than when you're getting ready for bed.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

And all of a sudden we got to swap the sheets out.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Or, hey, this new duvet cover came in. We got to put it on. And you're just like, can we just get in bed?

[Sherman Young]

You know it's even worse is it's 7:30ish. You just had the most amazing dinner. You just watched the most amazing movie. You've been horizontal on the couch and you're like, oh, I'm a sleepy boy. I'm turning into a sleepy boy. I'm gonna go hit the bathroom. Back in the bedroom. You're walking to the bathroom and you see the bed with no, it's completely stripped. She didn't even warn you.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

And you're just like.

[Will Compton]

But you know it as you're going to take a piss and you're kind of thinking how the conversation might go. Like while you're peeing.

[Sherman Young]

Yes.

[Will Compton]

Like, let me get my attitude right. Like let me ask, you know what happened?

[Sherman Young]

And you're thinking, I'm thinking in my head as I'm peeing. I'm like, oh well, it'll probably be, you know, hopefully they're dry by now. But then I, all of a sudden I started listening. I really open my ears up and I hear the. I'm like, they're still drying right now. We're still drying.

[Will Compton]

What gets me.

[Sherman Young]

I love you, honey.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, yeah.

[Sherman Young]

Thank you for watching.

[Will Compton]

I love you, sweetheart. But what gets me is when you, what you just explained like say 7:30, but let's say it's 9 o' clock and you kind of kids are down. You've executed. Yeah, you've executed. You've watched a show and you've watched one episode because you're both tired, you're Both Sleepy and Nine, Nine 30 rolls around and you're like, dude, let's go, let's go get in bed.

[Sherman Young]

Next episode in bed.

[Will Compton]

Well, we have a TV in the room.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, okay.

[Will Compton]

But it'll be, we'll save the episode. However the picture I'm painting is, you're excited. Like we're gonna get some really good sleep. And my nighttime routine, pre bed routine is a lot quicker than my wife. She's got all the, she does all the face cleaning stuff. Got all the, all the different bells and whistles that she goes through in her routine. Her routine takes about 20 minutes. Minutes. Or I'll brush my teeth, I wash my face. Might put a little something on if I got like a, oh, a little zip popping up. Let me just put this little.

[Sherman Young]

Oh really?

[Will Compton]

But I'll go lay in bed. I will get in bed underneath the covers and I'll be laying there just doing some little doom scrolling before the wifey gets in because she comes in, I'm like, oh, let's get the photo down. Let's see if we can. Let's see.

[Sherman Young]

So you're just a demon at all times?

[Will Compton]

Not at all times. Depends on the situation. But if we're in the fourth quarter and we got a two minute drill coming, but she'll stand up and be like, hey, do you mind switching the sheets out before we get back? I'm in bed. So what are we doing? We haven't changed the sheets. It's been what, four days? I lied about that part. Usually we go. I forget how long we go. I don't even know how long we go. But that's what chaps my ass is when you're in bed. They, hey, sweeto, we got to change the seats. Jill, why do we got to change them? You see that I'm underneath.

[Sherman Young]

You're literally in bed. Jill and Charo have had some interaction, but a very small amount. And it scares me, those two getting together, because every single story that you describe of Charo, you are literally describing Jill.

[Will Compton]

We got to get him on the bar.

[Sherman Young]

Extremely similar. No different here, Al.

[Will Compton]

All the boys out there just like you do that too.

[Sherman Young]

And I'm nervous now because they're going to get together. That's the worst thing that could ever happen for us.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, sorry. There's like. It's like the missiles and gunfires going off in my head.

[Sherman Young]

All we have to do is just maintain the, like, sweet, dumb, golden retriever type personality and frame of, like, what we are to them. You know what I mean? We really got to lean into that because they're going to get together and they're going to be like, sherman's such an idiot. He freaking does this. He poops his pants sometimes.

[Will Compton]

That's how the girls connect. They just start using idiot stories like.

[Sherman Young]

Will still pisses the bed. So, yeah, they're very similar. They can't control their bow.

[Will Compton]

Yes.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, God.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, we're in. Tell you what, though, we should. Yeah, we should. We should. We got to get the fans together. I. I do have one more because I want to get to a question for you, please. San Antonio Wildlife wife is on the pup list for two more weeks, boys. Now, the key is to make it last more than 30 seconds.

[Sherman Young]

Hey, somebody said, congrats, Sherman. This was on Twitter. Congrats, Sherman, for a wife coming off the pup list. Hashtag, keep it under an hour, buddy. We won't have any problem.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, that. That. That message right there from San Antonio Wildlife. You ain't going past 30. Just letting you know. It's going to be disappointing. It's going to be disappointing to a spot to where you're actually going to tell your wife, sorry, but you got a reminder like, I got to build this stamina back up. So we just gotta, you know.

[Sherman Young]

Honey, I'm sorry. I'm gonna be out of breath. Dude, red faced.

[Will Compton]

What's in your mind? You're playing like you're just. You're gonna be the man laying it down. You know, you might have thrust her to a couple grunts too.

[Sherman Young]

Hey, Bab, I'll go make us. I'll go make us some waters. Oh, that's fine. I don't need one. You don't need what? You don't need.

[Will Compton]

You don't need a water. What? Just mouth breathing in her ear. She just gets reminded the. What the.

[Sherman Young]

Babe, what you set the AC to? It's hot there, right? I'm. I'm fine. And she puts three blankets on. Honestly, I'm kind of cold.

[Will Compton]

Just imagine just, just getting like hump twice.

[Sherman Young]

Just.

[Will Compton]

Just breathing in your ear. And then you just hear ah. And he's just like. And you just turn around. Like, what? The dude thinks he's a man.

[Sherman Young]

He went. I waited. I waited a month for that. I love you, Jill.

[Will Compton]

And I am sorry.

[Sherman Young]

God, I am sorry. I apologize in advance, honestly.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, there you go. Get out in front of it. Get out in front of it.

[Sherman Young]

And I won't deny it at all. Won't deny it at all. It never was like that guy, dude. That's the thing that takes me back to high school, dude. I just laugh now, remembering those guys in the locker room that when you're like a little freshman, the seniors and juniors are talking.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, me and the girlfriend did it.

[Sherman Young]

You know, probably like six times last night. You're like, what? Like thinking back on that. Like, is it gonna fall off? Like, what is going on right now? Also, that poor girl.

[Will Compton]

Like, what in the world? Yeah, yeah, we should probably. You know, this is a kid show.

[Sherman Young]

This is a.

[Will Compton]

How this a kid.

[Sherman Young]

Where. Where we at?

[Will Compton]

Like, we got to keep it under an hour.

[Sherman Young]

Are we at 15?

[Will Compton]

We haven't got into our debt song.

[Sherman Young]

We have 15 minutes.

[Derek Whiten]

No, we're at 10.

[Sherman Young]

10. We're at 10 minutes.

[Will Compton]

Baylor, Auburn weekend. By the time this comes out and drops on Wednesday, it will be. College football season's upon us. Nebraska vers Cincy tomorrow at Arrowhead Thursday night, kicking it off. You got Baylor, Auburn over the weekend.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Wifey comes off the Pup list over the weekend at that game, that night, that day. Good Wife is activated.

[Sherman Young]

Very first drone show ever in Baylor history that night.

[Will Compton]

Good. First time Scarlet's going to be out 50,000, 60,000 loud. Good. Good.

[Sherman Young]

Build up her immune system.

[Will Compton]

Good. Good.

[Sherman Young]

She's.

[Will Compton]

She's going to cry, and probably you're going to think about leaving the game early. Good.

[Sherman Young]

Thought about that. Check the stadium website. Made sure there's a little mom and baby room, that mama could go in there and pat her butt so we don't have to leave too early. Good.

[Will Compton]

Mama's going to be pissed off, thinking we need to leave right now, but he wants to stay at this goddamn game. She's going to be mad at you. Good.

[Sherman Young]

Is that his 18th beer?

[Will Compton]

What the hell are we doing?

[Sherman Young]

I thought he would grow up eventually.

[Will Compton]

Good.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, I'm not going to do that, sweetheart.

[Will Compton]

I love you.

[Sherman Young]

I'm not going to do that.

[Will Compton]

I am fired up for you. Scarlet. Scarlet. First game, first experience with her.

[Sherman Young]

I am so juice. And I've truly had to fight myself for every single crack a cold one could be. Looking forward to that game. Like, I feel like I've brought that game up way too much on the show, and so I'm just trying to chill on it, but. Oh, my God. I was talking to my dad. I'm just, like, so excited. I was talking to him on the phone this morning. Like, I'm just geeking out for. It's gonna be so fun. Her outfit came in the mail. I'll. I'll picture every outfit right there.

[Will Compton]

That's a crack.

[Sherman Young]

A cold one, too.

[Will Compton]

Is just the father son dynamic when son is now dad and you guys are just having conversations about their grandkid.

[Sherman Young]

And I love it, too, because it doesn't feel like a whole lot of I told you so. And you probably feel the same way with your dad of, like, there's not much like micromanaging because he never had a girl. And you were boys, too, right?

[Will Compton]

Yeah. My dad tried pulling the whole. He dropped you off and go like that. You ain't dropped me off at. Yeah, you dropped me off at school on day one. We had a nice. We shared a nice laugh. A nice belly laugh.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

But. Yeah, there's not a lot. I told you. It's just them, like, you know, when's an opportunity where I can come see the little one?

[Sherman Young]

Exactly. Like, my dad just loves hearing Scarlet stories because he never had a girl. And so just like all the little bud. Oh, you. Oh, the bows came in. How Many bows poster.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, yeah, 12 pack, dad. Oh, we gotta get more bows than that.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

You know, he's juiced.

[Will Compton]

They just. And being a grandparent too, they just get to spoil them. And again, yeah, like I was a one of three boys, so there was no girl. And so my dad, like, you know, seeing Rue and talking about how big they're looking. I need videos. Look how much. Look at her calves. She's going to be an athlete. All those types of things. But that's a great crack. A cold one is the, the, the father, son, mom, daughter, father, daughter, mom, son dynamic when they have, when they're talking about the grandkids. That's a good crack of cold one.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, dude. And just looking forward to. Oh my gosh, the animal face paint. Like, I want to find all those things at in Waco on Friday. Like all the little kid activities.

[Will Compton]

Like, there's been a couple face paint opportunities for Rue, but she's sketched out by the. I can't get her talked into it yet, bro.

[Sherman Young]

Have you done it yourself?

[Will Compton]

Have not yet. That's what it's going to come down to.

[Sherman Young]

Get a dude, get a wolf.

[Will Compton]

Oh, yeah. Paint the entire face.

[Sherman Young]

Yes.

[Will Compton]

Because you're right. That's what it's going to take. Ruru.

[Sherman Young]

Look at that.

[Will Compton]

I'll tell you. Transitioning into a dad loss. And this is where I can lean on the parents out there that have kiddos in school, especially in that toddler phase. Yeah. We're in week two of school with Rude Night now and she's, she's crushing it. It's been all time. But the mornings before school, I would categorize in just the dad loss because I would love some dad hacks from the audience out there. So the parents that are well versed in how to get a, a good routine going because Ruby and three, it's like the toddler, they, they, they want their own independence and freedom. It's like all day long, hey, put on your shoes, brush your teeth. We got to brush your hair. Wear this outfit. Try and talk them into that outfit. Go do this, go do that. They just get told kind of what to, what to do. So they're big at saying no a lot. Yeah. And Rue's got a little, you know, she can. You sit there and you got to go with her. She'll get the hands on the hips. Oh, oh. She'll get the hands on the hips talking to you. Oh, yeah. You got to be careful laughing too. You know, you got to be careful like holding the laughter because, like, you ain't listening to me right now.

[Sherman Young]

Huh?

[Will Compton]

Yeah. And the morning routine before school. It's like you're just. You're. You're, like, in a constant rush, huh? Like, sweetheart, I will. I want to play with the ball. I want to play ball with you. I want. I want to get you to try to dribble the ball six times. I. I got. I'm making you breakfast. I'm trying to make your lunch right now, and mama's messing with Scotty. Like, we're trying to get you going. We only got so much time for. We got to get your shoes on. We got to get you to school, and it's just, like a constant. I need you to eat your breakfast, sweetheart. You got to eat your breakfast. I don't like chicken sausage anymore. Well, guess what? Since I know that now that you don't like chicken sausage all of a sudden, you used to love it. Once you eat this chicken sausage, I won't ever make it again for you. And then you'll go hungry.

[Sherman Young]

See how you like that.

[Will Compton]

We'll get you yogurt tomorrow. You've had yogurt three days this week already. I don't like yogurt.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, my God, bro.

[Will Compton]

The.

[Sherman Young]

The one thing that Rue does that I love is when she adjusts her hair. She uses the. The back of her hand.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

I've never seen that before.

[Will Compton]

And I love it constantly, bro. She. She. And she's kind of like me in a way to where it's like, again, he's a little made story, but I'm not, like. Like, I don't like getting my hands too late. Like, in the mix of, like, dirtiness. Oh. Like, I, like, keep my. Like, if I want. Like, when I take a bite, I need my hands clean. I need them wiped off. I can't just continue to go. I always want to wipe my face. I always want to keep everything off. Like, my face and everything else that makes sense and Rs very much, like, particular. Like, that always needs a napkin. Need a napkin. Need. Okay. God damn it. I'll get you the napkin. It's not that bad. It's just right here. Just wipe it off or use your shirt or your pants. So daddy used to do for decades. But, yeah, it's so funny when she's, like, always needs her hair out of.

[Sherman Young]

Her face, doing the backhand, like, playing football.

[Will Compton]

Like. Like, if I could, in between every play, I would take my helmet off and just wipe my face.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, really?

[Will Compton]

Like, it's like, Anytime I feel something like sweat or anything coming down my face, I just want it to be, like, dry. I come off on the side. I'm always, like, taking my helmet off all the time. Yeah. As much as possible to, like, wipe my face up. And I feel like Rue kind of has it because she's like that with the helmet on, buckling for the scooter. It's got to be done a certain way. She's got to have the hair out of the face.

[Sherman Young]

I hated long hair in sports, and obviously I didn't make it past the high school level, but, like, just like high school sports, I had to have a short haircut. Any type of. Even if it's hair right there. I just drove me crazy.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

Could not.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But the morning routine.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Gotta dial in the morning routine. If parents got any tips or hacks out there. Dude, this is more just like. She's like, I. I want to sit on the couch. No, you can't sit on the couch. Or. What was it this morning? It was like I was making. That was the ball situation this morning. And I'm like, sweetheart, yeah, you gotta eat your breakfast. I need you to eat your breakfast. And she was like, you know, she's. I'm bouncing, I'm dribbling the ball. I'm juggling the ball. I'll do it three times. Okay, Sweetheart, breakfast ain't even ready yet. Good.

[Sherman Young]

More. First off.

[Will Compton]

Good morning. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I got you play for a little bit, but when this. When it's ready, I need you to eat this.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

And then it was. Mom was making her a quesadilla, a chicken cheese quesadilla for lunch. And then she gets up and she's like, you know, does the whole I don't like chicken sauce thing. And she's like, I want a quesadilla. And we're like, that's for lunch. I'm in the case. That's for lunch, sweetheart. You can't.

[Sherman Young]

The quesadilla is for lunch.

[Will Compton]

You do the chicken sausage now. But now that I know you don't like it, I won't make it for you ever again. You used to love it. You loved it as of right now. And then when she gets a quesadilla, she takes a bite, she gets off the thing, and she's like, I'm gonna go get the ball. Like, I. I need. I need to cool off.

[Sherman Young]

She said, I need to cool.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. I need to cool off. I'm gonna go get the ball. And I'm like, all right, you get the ball. She's like, the ball's gotta eat with me. I'm like, all right, go get the ball and come back up here. No, I'm the ball. I want the ball to sit with me on the couch. I'm like, you're not going to the couch.

[Sherman Young]

You're. You're.

[Will Compton]

You're eating your breakfast. She. She looks at me, and I start, like, walking. She's, like, walking towards the couch. I start walking toward the couch. She starts running toward the couch. I start running to the couch. I'm like, you're not sitting on the couch. She gets on the couch, and I grab her. She starts losing and starts throwing a tantrum because she wants to sit on the couch. And it's like, you gotta eat your breakfast because we're gonna have to go here within 15 minutes.

[Sherman Young]

Is there still chicken sausage on the Jake sausage?

[Will Compton]

No, not on the stove. It's on her plate. Plate. It's ready to go.

[Sherman Young]

Okay. Okay.

[Will Compton]

And she's having a tangent, so I gotta. I'm thinking to myself, okay, good, good, good, good. We're in it right now. We're in it right now. How do I de. Escalate this situation? Because I just raced her to the couch, and I just grabbed her off the couch. So I got her right here. I take her into the back closet, like, go through my room, go to the bathroom and go back in the closet just to remove her from the environment. It's like, I just need. We gotta talk about this. Sweetheart, I know you want your freedoms. I know dad and mama tell you what to do all the time. I know your freedom. Independent. I love that. I love that about you. And that's how she's, like, coming down from qu. And she's like, you know, just constantly, like, wiping her tears. She needs every speck of tear off of her face.

[Sherman Young]

Uhhuh.

[Will Compton]

But she's listening, you know, like. But with you going to school, we just. We need you, teach. I don't mind if you play. Play your little ass off. But the moment breakfast is ready and good to go, we got to eat breakfast.

[Sherman Young]

Got to.

[Will Compton]

We try to switch it up all the time between eggies, chicken, sausage, and you yogurt, because you got to get your protein, sweetheart. It's important. And whenever we tell you that it's time to eat breakfast, I just. I need you. That's when you got to listen to mama and dad. Dad, you can eat as fast as you want. Eat it, Eat as fast you can. Then you Go back to playing. But whenever it's time to go, we got to get your shoes on. We got to get you out the door. That's when I need you to listen to us. Do you understand? She's like, okay, go back in. Sit her on this. On the thing we accomplished. We're eating the chicken sauce. Sausage reading the chicken sauce.

[Sherman Young]

That's a great note of. You can make it as fast as you want. You control. Like, if you feel out of control, you don't want to eat. You can control your meal time.

[Will Compton]

Right.

[Sherman Young]

Once you're in it.

[Will Compton]

Right, Right. Because she's like, I don't want to tell my. You could ate five bites. By now, the time you've been sitting here and saying whatever the hell she's saying. Yeah, but we got it. You need that to help you out. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll stick it for you. No, for the dad's pen. And gone just fell down. Oh, sorry. We'll get the one shelf going.

[Sherman Young]

Hey, we'll get Willie one shelf going. You know what?

[Will Compton]

But if there's.

[Sherman Young]

If there's ptsd, by the way of. I thought you were talking about something like recording. Like, the mics weren't plugged in, and my heart sank.

[Will Compton]

I said, it's gone.

[Sherman Young]

Sank. I was like, oh, Chef just gave us a two thumbs up. He said, we're rolling.

[Derek Whiten]

As soon as you said that, I started freaking out.

[Sherman Young]

I'm so sorry, but the blood literally left my face. Keep going about morning routine and that.

[Will Compton]

That was it. The dad. The dad loss is learning in this. It's. It's our first couple weeks of going to school, so we got that morning routine of in between. Like, you know, waking up, getting her ready to go, getting her breakfast, everything made. It's just like the. The. The communication or if anybody's got some tips or hacks out there to kind of set it up. Yeah, it goes better to where you just get to where you're kind of, like, arguing with her. You're like, dude, I. You gotta do this shit. I. I talk about with my boy Nick all the time. He's like, dude, morning routines are a grinder. He actually texted me, matter of fact, he's like, hey, could be good if we get. If we FaceTime in the mornings and let Hudson and Rue see each other, and we can kind of, like, talk through certain things. Maybe it'll, like, keep him in a good mood. Yo, I thought that was a great little. Great little nugget taking a quick break. From the episode to bring you into and talk about Wayfair. Before I get into Wayfair, there's something bittersweet about ending the summertime. You're winding down. You had a great summer. You know Rue, she's in school now, so it's always a bittersweet ending to summertime. However, I do love the fall weather. I love getting into a nice fall routine. And a couple things that we like to do is consistent family dinners. And when I'm talking about these things and talking about Wayfair, I want to talk to you about what my wife loved doing in Paris. Picking out at Wayfair we have some new lamps for the kids rooms to get ruined. Just a different theme. Get her in the spirit of school shopping, let's get you a couple outfits.

[Sherman Young]

Dude, shout out your boy Nick because he hooked me up with a dad hack.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

Yes.

[Will Compton]

Would you like to share?

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, I would love to share. Well and I had a follow up question on the morning routine though.

[Will Compton]

Go ahead.

[Sherman Young]

I don't know, maybe we do that and then I'll do. Nick.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

What numerically time wise does your morning look like? Like what time are you waking up? What time? Like can you break. Break it down on that.

[Will Compton]

So on a, like on a optimal day I'm waking up at 5:45 so I can get in the way or I can get in the garage at 6 and I will use from 6 to 7 as like my selfish. This is the time where I will work out in the mornings. Yeah. Sweat it out. Do whatever I need to do. Whether it's zone two and sauna, whether it's strength training. I'll take that six to seven and work out in the mornings. So that way I can come in. Because Charles getting up around 6:45 mark 7. It kind of depends on when Scotty's going on the monitor because I don't want to leave Charl hanging to. She's getting the kids up all by herself. Yeah, I mean, she knocks it and she'll. She'll. She will rock that method. But as often as I can, when I'm home and not traveling, it's. I'll try and work out between six and seven, so that way I can be. I can go into husband and dad mode from 7 until we probably leave for school now. Like 8, 15, 8 20.

[Sherman Young]

Okay.

[Will Compton]

So from 7 to that. 8, 15, 8, 20. Mark, you know, we're getting Scotty up. One of somebody's getting Scotty and getting the bottle and stuff going with Scotty. Other ones going to wake her up. Kind of depends on the movers. And you might walk in. She's like, I want mama, but I found a nice little. I find a nice little game and a way to kind of like mess with her. So that way when I go in there and I'm getting R ready, but we're getting the pull up off. So that way she can. So she can change in the underwear.

[Sherman Young]

We're to going.

[Will Compton]

Going to the bathroom. Hey, let's pick out an outfit. She loves dresses. You got to try and talk off a Clifford dresses. You've worn it three days in a row. Let's figure out a different method.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

And she likes for you to give her a couple options. You'll lay out a couple options. She'll pick one. But as she's picking, she's playing. She's like doing all the things. So it's like keeping them, keeping them on course, getting them ready. Yeah, I'll go down. I'm usually the breakfast guy. Like, I'm always making breakfast. It's like eggs and toast and Greek yogurt and ruse like coconut yogurt. But I'll get all breakfast ready. And then if it's like, if it's. We're only two weeks in with the, with the school stuff, but if it's like a PB and J or something where we have a leftover, I'll get ruse lunch ready. Or like this morning, Char was making a case dia. We'll be in the kitchen getting all that stuff ready while RUP play. Scotty's on the ground. She's rolling around. She's playing, having a good time, just.

[Sherman Young]

Digging with that toe. And then it.

[Will Compton]

Honestly, it just comes down to executing. Hey, we, you know, you gotta eat your food. Like we don't have all the time in the world. It's like eating the food, keeping her from having a tantrum, because she can have a tantrum at any moment. Because, again, it's like they want their independence and freedom as toddlers. They're always being told what to do.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

It's like keeping them on that, Getting their shoes on, getting them out the door.

[Sherman Young]

Okay.

[Will Compton]

So that's kind of how the morning routine is.

[Sherman Young]

I love that. There's, like, several things that you've brought up so far in the show that I've written down. One is I need to become Breakfast Guy, because I love breakfast. I really do. And I've been doing a bad job of, like, preparing breakfasts in the morning. Sometimes do it. And Jill, if she was here right now, she would go sometimes. Like, never. I'd be like, babe, I've done it before.

[Will Compton]

Right.

[Sherman Young]

The weekends, mainly. Jill does a good job of breakfast when she does it. Neither one of us have, like, taking that role, though, but I think I want to take that and own it.

[Will Compton]

It's like, as Scarlett gets older and starts, like, the routine becomes a routine. Char, more often than not, will be the one with the outfits and the hair with Rue, because, again, it's like, I can get Rue rolling. I'm not a. I'm. The hair stuff is. You know, I can. I can get a headband on. I can do a ponytail.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

I can't do the brain braids yet. I can't do, like, the fancy ponytails. We just got these cute little pigtails in today. But, like, with Charo doing the. The kid thing, it's like, I will make Charles breakfast. So Charles breakfast being, like, an egg or two and some toast with butter. Mine's like, four eggs and Greek yogurt ruses. It's either eggies yogurt, or chicken sausage for protein.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

And then that's usually your breakfast. Then we'll get it ready for lunch. Throw a little small. Little cookie in there for a little treat at school.

[Sherman Young]

Come on.

[Will Compton]

Cookie. Maybe some kind of. There are a variety of options, but that's kind of like, our gig.

[Sherman Young]

Okay.

[Will Compton]

Is Breakfast Guy's got. It's. It's got its perks.

[Sherman Young]

It does. And my. My mom did a great job. My dad would do, like, breakfast and stuff, but my mom cooked a great breakfast and packed crazy lunches. Dude, I wish I could. I might need to bring that up for a future episode. Just go break down. I need to call her and ask her, like, what was your.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

Lunch cadence oh, my God, dude, these lunches, like, my friends. You know how you're, like, trading, like, gummies? Yeah, there's that. But then my friends were like, yo, did your mom make that. That pesto turkey bacon club again? Yeah, she did. Yo, can I get a bite of that? That, like, Ms. Amy, kind of. Yeah, she messes around.

[Will Compton]

She put her foot in that little sandwich.

[Sherman Young]

Yes, dude, she crushed it. I don't think I'll ever live up to that, but it'd be fun to try.

[Will Compton]

Another thing I need to add to the bag now that I'm, like, talking through this is I need to make Charles latte rice latte in the morning. I need to just get her fully set up and prepared now that I'm.

[Sherman Young]

You'll have, like, a little Nespresso.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, we got a little espresso machine. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Sherman Young]

I. Yeah. Jill hasn't been doing the caffeine as much because she's pumping still.

[Will Compton]

Right, Right.

[Sherman Young]

But that's something I could do too. But I can definitely implement that. I also wrote down you said at the very top, you're like, you may be playing planning a date night with the wifey. And I was like, oh, I haven't done one of those in a minute. And I wrote date night with wifey.

[Will Compton]

It falls to the back burner, bro. Yeah. Like, it happens with us. Us all the time. Time. It's like, a few weeks will go by, and it's like, hey, we haven't got a breakfast together or we haven't had a date night in a while. Yeah, we need to get, like, something on the books because it's like, that stuff just. It sucks that you have to be intentional about it. And like, me. I like me being a. I love to exercise and work out, and I know if I don't, I'll just get in. Like, it, like, weighs on me. It, like, snowballs on me. I'll say, I'll work out in the afternoon. I won't work out in the afternoon.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

And even though you. I gotta wake up early, earlier to do it. It's like, this is the. The most optimal way to go about it because it's time that I can have that is uninterrupted to myself. It's time. I'm not sitting in the. Putting in the middle of the day or late in the morning to where it's taken away from somebody else. It's. Yeah. Those would be the two big keys. Like, when you're married with kids, families operating is think about what is your Hour where you have to yourself.

[Sherman Young]

Yes.

[Will Compton]

Because it's important that you have time to yourself. Because again, if you're not watering that plant at all, that's going to weigh on you. And you're going to be projecting it on your wife. You're going to be projecting on your kids at work, coming home, all the tired stuff that we all know about. Yeah. And if you. If you think about it, it's like, yo, what time do you have to yourself? And then with marriage, it's like, what time are you guys intentionally putting in together? Because the kid stuff takes over. Yeah, it takes over. Especially if you let it 247 and you're all. It's all thin. Like Charles a. Grinder. She's a business owner. Bar. The Bar 3 is in Nashville. She's a. She's a. She's a worker. She's a working mom, working dad. We got to have our ducks in a row. Because if not, it's just work. You. You think to yourself. She's made the comments recently. And I feel it. It's like, I feel like I just parent. I feel like I just work and I'm just mom.

[Sherman Young]

Mom.

[Will Compton]

And I'm like, yes. There are a lot of times I feel like I just work and I'm just dad. You come home, you get to there, you might watch a show or two. It's just all in the background. You might be scrolling your phone while the show's on. Then you're like, yo, let's just go to bed. Or I might go upstairs, like, I'm gonna get on the game with the boys. She might just sit on her phone and scroll, and then we both just go to bed.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Versus like, you know that those moments when it's. You're having those nights is where it's like, I'll lay there. I know she's doing. Doing it. I know the question will come up. But I'm laying there, I'm like, we got to get something in the books. Number one, am I taking care of myself? If so, it's like, all right if I have that box checked? Because if I'm not, it's like, okay, how can I plan out time that's for myself? Will you just have to get your lazy ass up in the morning. Yeah, you have to, because that's the only time you're going to do it, bro.

[Sherman Young]

Yes.

[Will Compton]

So you got to get to bed at a decent hour. If I'm not gooning with the boys. Yeah, but we'll you. I gotta check that box. And then it's, you know, what do we have on the books? Just with us? Do we have a sitter? Do we have child care?

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, dude. And, like, my dad Hack was Evening Walks, right? Last episode.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

With Scarlett.

[Will Compton]

Yep.

[Sherman Young]

Jill was having a rough day, and she. I brought her along for the evening walk, and I was like, let's walk together. Because she was talking. She's like, hey, I have postpartum and body, and I just feel like I'm stuck in the house all the time, and I just feel lazy and not doing anything. I was like, well, come on. An evening walk because it's fun. And once we're out there, she's talking. I feel like I'm letting everybody down. I'm not talking to my friends enough. My family.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

I'm letting Scarlet down. I'm. Blah, blah. I said same. I feel like I'm letting my co workers down. I feel like I'm letting you down. I'm letting Scarlet down. But in that moment, I would wish that I had been able to say, like, hey, we're not letting each other down right now, and we're not letting Scarlett down right now. And we're doing something that's, like, outside and active and, like, just those small little wins, the small little windows where you are, like, you're not treating yourself, but, like, you're being good to yourself. You're doing something that's, like, fun. We need more of that.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Yeah. It's like if. If I think through it again, it's like the communication, if it doesn't happen, it snowballs. It snowballs internally in a way, to where it waits for a moment of. I feel like I'm letting everybody down and you both feel the same way, and then you're both kind of connecting and coming back because, again, everybody's wanting to stay strong for each other until you're not strong anymore.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

And strength most of the time is just reconnecting and talking through stuff. Like something that Charlie does a lot that reminds me to. To do it back. Or I'm not thinking about this enough is like, when Charles just appreciates me for something or just saying, yo, this was. This was kick ass when you did this. Or, hey, I really appreciate you doing X, Y, and Z. And I'm like, man. And then I think to myself, I got to do this more for her, too, because she is a rock star.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

It's just little things like that.

[Sherman Young]

Little things like that. And in addition to the that, a, this is like, you know how if you like, get the. The work right on a math problem, but you wouldn't get the answer right. Like, teacher would sometimes give you still, like, a 0.5. Last night, I randomly. When I got home, I was like, hey, honey, I just want to let you know, when I got to work yesterday, I was really pissed off for two reasons. One, I remembered that I forgot to wash the bottle, which you told me to. I always need to wash the bottle after feeds. And that trash or the diaper pail was so full. And I want you to know that I saw that it was full, and I had every intention to take it out. And I was pissed when I got to the office and was like, I forgot.

[Will Compton]

I know, bro.

[Sherman Young]

And even though she was upset, you know, she was kind of going like, oh, I know. I saw. I saw. But the fact that I not beat her to the punch but, like, was like, hey, I just want you to know I did mess up there, and I am trying to be intentional about doing a good job. It's still got. I got the point.

[Will Compton]

Right. At least she knows you have some type of awareness.

[Sherman Young]

Yes.

[Will Compton]

Versus her having to say it to you. And then you might have some body language. I'm going to get to it.

[Sherman Young]

I know, honey. I've been doing a better job.

[Will Compton]

I have about you. It's like when that diaper pail gets full, I'm like, man, God, I don't want to take this. Oh, I. I don't want to take this diaper back. I don't want to take this trash out right now. It's like, you sit there and you push that down even more. Hell, yes.

[Sherman Young]

Every time.

[Will Compton]

Okay. Yeah, we might have. I might have one or two more in there. Like, let me just.

[Sherman Young]

After. I'll. I'll open it. I'll go, oh, just wait one second. I'll get that dirty diaper, and I'll bunch into the hardest ball ever. And just five more diapies. Now we good?

[Will Compton]

Yeah. I feel you on the bottle cleaning, too. Sometimes I'll take a lazy route. Like, once the bottle gets done, it's like, I'll put the hot water and I'll put the. The. The bottle cleaner soap in there, and I just, like, shake it up.

[Sherman Young]

Oh.

[Will Compton]

And then I dump it out and then kind of rinse it out and everything. And Charles, like, what's wrong? Well, every now and then, Charles, like, you got to take it out so you can clean, like, the. The. The nipple part. Get deep in the. Yeah, the cap and the nipple, because it can get some of the stuff can get crowded in those crevices.

[Sherman Young]

Just from a rinse perspective, Jill might be excited to see me implement that.

[Will Compton]

Just the. The rinse out.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, just as like a rinse out of.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

Put a little stope in there and then shake it. She'd be like, oh, that's great. If I like, detached everything, that's what I do.

[Will Compton]

I feel like with like all like my shaker bottles, it's like you got to clean it out. I don't want to sit there and put the brush. I'll just sit there. Hot water and soap. Shake it up. Because I'm like, I'm good. I'm the only one drinking on this.

[Sherman Young]

I do have. That reminded me of a. My survival kit. It's an easy survival kit for this week.

[Will Compton]

Rip it, dude.

[Sherman Young]

Do you have a survival kit?

[Will Compton]

Yeah, I got one.

[Sherman Young]

Okay. Mine's the doctor. So we use the Dr. Brown bottles. What bottles do you use? Just wondering, buddy. Dr. Brown, too. It's a great.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Oh, we got one with dinosaurs on it. Mickey Mouse. A Mickey Mouse bottle.

[Sherman Young]

Well, we need to up our game.

[Will Compton]

On that, but that's rude. So that's a toddler one, but. Yeah, with Scotty.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

I don't know. It's got the slashes that says how many ounces is in it. Yeah, true, but could be Dr. Brown's.

[Sherman Young]

Dr. Brown uses the. Or we use the Dr. Brown bottles. They have a formula picture and it's like a picture that like your mom or dad would have brought to a picnic for, like, lemonade, you know, kind of look where it like sits in your fridge, but it has a pumper on top of it. So you put the powder formula in there, you put the water in there, and then you do this pumper thing that spins as it goes up and down and it mixes it all together and it kills all the bubbles. There's like no bubbles, dude. And if you're like a breast milk and formula type of cat, because, like, there's. There are some out there that like to mix and match. Whatever. You can put the breast milk in there and the formula, however you measure it out, go like that. And then it just sits in your fridge because you can close it. And then it's good to sit in your fridge for however long. And then when you're making that bottle, dude, you just. It got me stoked, dude. I. I don't even know why it was like not the most exciting survival survival kit thing, but it doesn't have to be. Yeah, it doesn't it's not sexy, but it is such a hack.

[Will Compton]

A four yard run isn't sexy, but it's what you want.

[Sherman Young]

And sometimes those four yard runs, like a scatterbow, it can turn into a 34 yard run.

[Will Compton]

Exactly.

[Sherman Young]

Because of how good it is.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Consistency, consistency. Just keep hitting them in the mouth.

[Sherman Young]

Yes.

[Will Compton]

Keep pushing the pile.

[Sherman Young]

Yes.

[Will Compton]

It's not sexy, but it gets the job done.

[Sherman Young]

Because you gotta. What? You gotta take the hits.

[Will Compton]

You gotta take the hits. My survival kid. Have I shouted out gracie's Corner?

[Sherman Young]

I don't believe so.

[Derek Whiten]

Not to my knowledge.

[Will Compton]

Gracie's Corner on Spotify. This kid's a stud. A kid. Great songs. Yeah, this is like kids music. Great songs, educational vibe, rhythm. Okay, we'll just change it up a little bit. Gracie's Corner.

[Sherman Young]

Gracie's Corner.

[Will Compton]

I know my ABCs. A, B, C, D. And there's like. It's good.

[Sherman Young]

Dude, I. I need some good cat.

[Will Compton]

There's a phonic song. ABCs, like 1, 2, 3. Like counting to 50.

[Sherman Young]

Okay. Gracie's Corner.

[Will Compton]

Gracie's Corner.

[Sherman Young]

I have it pulled up. She's on Spotify and YouTube.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

Anybody that's not a Spotify person, Maybe you're looking for a free option. YouTube as well.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, YouTube's good. You want to have a little dance party at home? Yeah, little dance party. You don't want, like, obviously be on YouTube, so screen time's happening, but it's more like, you know, you're getting in the. Getting in the theme of dancing and singing.

[Derek Whiten]

Apple music, too.

[Sherman Young]

And apple music.

[Will Compton]

It's everywhere. I'm just a Spotify guy. Yeah. She's a stud. Telling you right now, she's a stud. Okay, there's an elephant song. Can you move like an elephant? Move your body like an elephant. Can you move?

[Sherman Young]

You hit him with one.

[Will Compton]

I haven't, but I'm going to. It is Pizza Friday. We're gonna be vibing in the car.

[Sherman Young]

That guy's Pizza Friday. Get you some of that, kiddo. The.

[Derek Whiten]

Hack turned that. Also, when the Titans are playing Sunday, you can point at Cam Ward when he's doing a celebration. He's moving like an elephant.

[Will Compton]

Oh, he knows he's doing the crazy score. He's moving like an elephant. Look, he's an elephant.

[Sherman Young]

He's an elephant.

[Will Compton]

R. He's not doing it right, dad.

[Sherman Young]

Dad, he not doing it right, sweetie. I'll talk to him. The other thing that I was going to throw your way, it's called the Happy Song by Imagine. Imagine Heap.

[Will Compton]

Imagine Heap.

[Sherman Young]

Imagine Heap.

[Will Compton]

Is it imagine. Or imagine.

[Sherman Young]

Could be imagine. I don't know.

[Will Compton]

Something to think about.

[Sherman Young]

Something to think about. But, dude, that one is so good. I can't remember how it goes, but it literally when. When Scarlet is, like, balling her eyes out in the car and we put on the Happy song, gets quiet quick. And the instrumental is honestly, gas. Like the. You know how most little kid songs, like, kind of sound little kiddish, right?

[Will Compton]

The.

[Sherman Young]

This is like some high level production song.

[Will Compton]

Okay, I'll check it out. And do the same with Gracie's Corner and Gracie's Corner. Like, I'll listen to the. I'll listen to it just on my own driving work, just to get, like, a good spirit in case I miss Rue.

[Sherman Young]

Ping, ping. The submarine. Helicopter. A choo choo train. An airplane. A wee down the slide. Dude, the Happy song crushes.

[Will Compton]

I got a Don't.

[Derek Whiten]

Don't watch the music video.

[Sherman Young]

Is that the Happy song song? Yeah. Oh, that is a bit scary. That bird, dude.

[Will Compton]

Hey, that's you right there, Sher.

[Sherman Young]

It's kind of like Chicken Run meets.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, Chicken Run. Yes.

[Sherman Young]

Chicken Run meets. What's a really creepy YouTube?

[Derek Whiten]

I know. That's exactly what came to mind. It's the. It's the YouTube at the puppets where things go, like, really south.

[Sherman Young]

Please don't.

[Derek Whiten]

Please don't hug me.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Derek Whiten]

Please don't hug me.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

Thank you. I need to so bad. Dude, don't hug me. I'm scared. Don't hug me. I'm scared. Chicken Ryan. And don't hug me. I'm scared.

[Will Compton]

All right, moving on to crack a cold one. Did you do your crack a cold one?

[Sherman Young]

I haven't, no.

[Will Compton]

Rue smacking the monkey bars. She ripped the monkey bars, apparently for the first time all by herself.

[Sherman Young]

No.

[Will Compton]

Oh, bro. So do you have video? Not video, but this. The school will, like, you know, they'll send you, like, updates and stuff.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

And Rue came home one day, and whenever I got home, she was all. She was juice bro. And I did the monkey bars all by myself. And we were so fired up because she talks about the monkey bars every day. And then later that night, got a message from one of her teachers saying, I had to send this to you both. Rue went across the monkey bars and was so proud. Every single day she's been on the monkey bar, so determined to go all the way across. Today she finally did it. I just love her. It's a photo of Rue just, like, smiling. And I respond back, this fires me up. She's been talking non stop. About it all day since she got home. Laugh out loud and then listen. That girl is going to be an athlete or something. Her. Her determination is beyond.

[Sherman Young]

If y' all know Willie C. If y' all know Willie C. That might be the number one thing that you've wanted to hear since her birth.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, I see it. I see it.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Will Compton]

But you just can't, like, you can't overplay your hand 100. You know what I mean? I'm not going to sit there and, like, you know, brag all the time to my boys, but I see it.

[Sherman Young]

You do not need to go up to peewee coach and tell them how good your kid is. Yeah, Peewee coach needs to come up to you at the end of practice and tell you how good your kid.

[Will Compton]

Is and go beyond. Let me know and tell me that in front of my friends.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, please.

[Will Compton]

Me.

[Sherman Young]

I'm. Hey, I'm so sorry. I can't hardly hear you. I'm gonna have to put you on speaker. Hold on.

[Will Compton]

You gotta. You. Hey, Sherm, you got everybody at the shop. Can you put me on speaker? Yeah, I got coach right here.

[Sherman Young]

Rue is just a freak athlete. Freak athlete? Is that what you said?

[Will Compton]

I got another scooter video, too.

[Sherman Young]

Let's go.

[Will Compton]

Where she's. She's rocking. She's on the scooter, and she's rocking all the way down to where the bars are up here. And she's on. She's on one leg, and then she's on one leg, and she's got her other leg kicked out forward like this. And she's just rocking. Oh, swear she said that. I want to show you this trick. And I'm like, all right. I'm, like, holding Scotty, Bouncing Scotty. And it's hot outside. I'm like, I hope this doesn't take long. And dude, she just starts ripping. She hits the one legger over the bar again. And then after she takes the leg leg off the bar, she. She holds it out to the side and then. And then turns. And then she's like, watch this one. Dead end. Then she's, like, going down the hill, and she drops really low and then kicks her leg out.

[Sherman Young]

You give her.

[Will Compton]

She's got this little kickball, and she just wants to bounce it as many times. Like, dribble as many times you can. She's up to six, and I'm like, we got to go to bed. I, like, I got to go upstairs and get Scotty. Mom's yelling downstairs at me and me and R's in the bathroom doing it. Because we got to stay away from Waffle. Because if Waffles, he's the bouncy ball. It's like all hell breaks loose and rude just starts screaming at me, I gotta get it six times. I. No, you don't. Go upstairs to feed Scotty. I gotta. I gotta dribble it. Oh, my God. She says juggle. I try to get her to say dribble. I gotta juggle it. And sweetheart, I hear you. I want you to too. You've done it. You've done an amazing job. At some point, we gotta stop.

[Sherman Young]

Is that how your dog interior?

[Will Compton]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm. I'm very, like, cool, calm. I'm very cool, calm, poised and everything, talking to her. But when it gets heated like that, like, I start doing my, like, theatrical voice in like a real and funnish way.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

And like, go back to her, cuz she's going at me. She's got the little vein going out. I'm like, I got the vein too.

[Sherman Young]

You got that from your dad? She's gonna be so much fun in high school, bro.

[Will Compton]

If she like high school. Yeah, it's a little scary. Oh, well, she's gonna be a blast, though. I. I hear what you're saying.

[Sherman Young]

I meant more so like on the sports field. Like, she's gonna be.

[Will Compton]

Listen, I. I'm. I'm hopeful. She's fired up. She got her little soccer jersey on.

[Sherman Young]

Yes.

[Will Compton]

She starts soccer next week.

[Sherman Young]

That's what I was imagining in my head is a ref just pulling a yellow card on Rue and just. Rue's gonna be that player that hands are gonna hit the hips and be like, yellow card. Are you serious? Coach is gonna be like, r. Get over it.

[Will Compton]

You want to see it?

[Sherman Young]

It's all. It was all ball.

[Will Compton]

He goes, dad moment. Everybody watching at home, this is dad moment. We're talking about the video now. I want to show the video because I'm a dad and I'm proud and I want to show the video. Yes. You see her?

[Sherman Young]

I see her.

[Will Compton]

Bro.

[Sherman Young]

She. Bro, she's cruising.

[Will Compton]

She's cruising.

[Sherman Young]

Is that her giggling or you?

[Will Compton]

No, that's me. Because I didn't know what she was gonna do. Yeah, I think she's gonna show me the usual stuff that she does. And I. I always love to watch it because she, like, rips around on the scooter.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Once she hit that, I just couldn't help it.

[Sherman Young]

Bro, we gotta get Will a scooter. You got to be out there. Scootering with her.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, that would be fun. We gotta get her on the two wheel wheels because right now it's a three wheel scooter.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, dude, she. It's gonna take her 40 minutes tops to get the two wheel scooter down if she's already doing that on a three wheel.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

Also crack a cold one brought to us this week by Liquid iv. So if you want to crack open one of those hydrating liquid IV pouches, it's as simple as just pouring it into the water and boom, baby, I'm gonna mix that up. It's gonna be good.

[Will Compton]

Good.

[Sherman Young]

Flawless. Thank you.

[Will Compton]

Flawless execution right there. Because that's why I was starting to.

[Sherman Young]

Go over and grab.

[Will Compton]

I'm like, dude, do we have a.

[Sherman Young]

Well, we don't.

[Will Compton]

Well, I knew we were doing a crack a cold one and I knew it was liquid iv and you just.

[Sherman Young]

Thank you, dude.

[Will Compton]

Great work.

[Sherman Young]

Hey, I'm getting. I'm trying to get better. A good note on the comments too of like. Sherman, you got have one ready to go when I read you go next. That's how this podcast thinks big works. Truly my crack a cold one. Speaking of being ready, we're looking at pictures of Scarlett's birth week. We're just laying in bed, Jill and I next to each other. There were some tears shared between Jill and myself of just looking at pictures of Scarlet's first week of life and she's. What only. I mean, she's about to be two months old.

[Will Compton]

Right. But we're. We're close to the. We're. We're. By the time people are listening to.

[Sherman Young]

This, it will be two months. By the time people.

[Will Compton]

Right. It will be two months. People listen. It's that eight week mark.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Coming off the pup list. Two months old. The photo is going to be dropping. I know. It's going to be hot. It's crazy reminder for the fans, everybody watching, please simply hit the subscribe button. Please hit the subscribe Enoyed this. Just subscribe to the channel. Leave a comment.

[Sherman Young]

And I know we say this about every single thing that we record at busing at the Bull Boys, but this has felt like it's been a good episode thus far.

[Will Compton]

I think doing this podcast is a ton of fun.

[Sherman Young]

It is. It really is.

[Will Compton]

Love talking shop with you. I think you're a stud.

[Sherman Young]

Thank you.

[Will Compton]

I know you're a stud. And the. The again the communal factor, bro. We had a gal that DM'd us both on Instagram that was sharing a lot of stuff that was crazy.

[Sherman Young]

Crazy. Crazy kind. Crazy kind.

[Will Compton]

It's just. It's a different feel.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

You know what I mean? Like, it's like you get longer feedback of people opening up to you. It's like a dad hit me up in the DMs, and I'm. I'm going to butcher the entire message. But he was ultimately expressing to me, like, you can tell he's. He's, like, reflecting on how hard he is with certain. The lesson of punishments last week.

[Sherman Young]

Yep.

[Will Compton]

And how he gets like that because of how he was raised by his dad and mom, being type A and just struggling with that and appreciating the podcast and being proud of Pt. 6. But it's just, like, stuff like, that rocks, bro. It rocks.

[Sherman Young]

It's cool that, like, people are opening up to us and feeling like it's a safe space to be like, hey, Will and Sherman share enough about. About their personal stuff that I feel comfortable with sharing my personal right with them. And it is cool to be, like, trusted with that. Like, that. That message that that girl wrote to us, it was quite literally two paragraphs. And I sat there, read the whole thing, and by the end of it, I was like, we are so lucky, dude. Which we texted each other a lot our first, like, two weeks when we started this of, like, bro, we're pretty lucky that. That, like, everybody's being so nice and stuff and we get to do this.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

But now even more so, looking at it, I'm like, we are so lucky, dude, that, like, we're getting to share this space with people that equally want to, like, share their thoughts and feelings, because people are just passionate about parenthood.

[Will Compton]

Everybody cares, man. And it's like, we said it in, like, the first episode, and I know we hit on it every now and then throughout our episodes, but we're all, like, a few degrees away from each other on how we think and feel and go about all this stuff. We all want to be more intentional. And sometimes you get caught up in just the bubble of your own world when you hear other voices, talk about certain things, whether it be on the show or the radio, on tv, whatever it is. And you're just like, I go through that same, too.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

And maybe I am a little too much in it right now till I'm hearing another experience. And this helps me. That's. That's how I've always been with my consumption of podcasts and success.

[Sherman Young]

Yes.

[Will Compton]

And growth and fatherhood. Everything that I'm interested in, I hear somebody else talk about it in a way Where I'm like, he just broke that down. That's exactly how I feel.

[Sherman Young]

I wish that you could see Jill and I at the house of, like, having conversations from conversations that we have right here. Or Jill watches the episodes and she'll. You know, we'll just start breaking it down right there. Like, I feel like I'm a listener of the pod because I'm so new to fatherhood.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

That there are these little nuggets and stuff that. And it's funny, dude. It's like the stuff that you're about talking. Talking about. I know I said this last week, but the stuff you were talking about in those first four episodes before we had Scarlet, and now I'm like. I'm thinking back to those things. I'm like, damn, he really was right. Like, Will is putting game out there, and it's fun now. I was texting your boy Nick. I got Nick's number, by the way. That's a whole other story.

[Will Compton]

I love it. I love it.

[Sherman Young]

We're texting, but I was texting Nick, and I was like, dude, honestly, like, there's a ton that. Oh, God, I lost my train of thought. I was talking about what I'm new to. Fatherhood.

[Will Compton]

Fatherhood game. The first four episodes.

[Sherman Young]

Now I'm beginning to transition to where I actually feel like I can give game, if that makes sense.

[Will Compton]

100, bro. Because you're. You're in it right now, and really the game is just talking about your own experience.

[Sherman Young]

That's all it is.

[Will Compton]

All the that. It's like, is game is. Is hard 247, and it's constantly like, good isn't going off in my head all the time. Yeah, it goes off in my head more now. Especially when your wife is like, hey, you got a brand.

[Sherman Young]

You.

[Will Compton]

You talk about embracing fatherhood. I want you to hang a shelf. And you're not saying good. Instead, you're kind of fighting me on it.

[Sherman Young]

Now everybody's in the comments. Willie. What?

[Will Compton]

But it's like a weird accountability factor, too. Of. Of just, like.

[Sherman Young]

I do feel.

[Will Compton]

Don't know where I'm going right now.

[Sherman Young]

I feel very.

[Will Compton]

But do you know what I'm saying?

[Sherman Young]

Yes. I feel very, like, challenged and not held accountable from the fact that I'm doing it. There will be moments where I'm sitting there and I'm like, bro, just burper for 15 minutes. Don't burp her for five minutes. She's gonna spit up. If you do it for five minutes, you're doing a podcast about fatherhood, though, like, the least you can do.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

Is burp.

[Will Compton]

And when you pop on social media and you see people sharing and having their own little good stories or their own hacks or whatever it is. And I just see that one word of like, they share a story and they say, this is happening. Good. And I'm just like, it's like, that's a reminder. That's game to me.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

You know what I mean? It's not like coming from a position of this is the right game. This is something we're constantly trying to not master. We're never going to master it.

[Sherman Young]

No.

[Will Compton]

But all of the accountability within the community and I wish I could land this plane better. The community doesn't even know they're holding us accountable. But they're great reminders. When you pop on and we're building this community and Brand is building the way it is to where you just see those reminders and it just. It helps you.

[Sherman Young]

Yes.

[Will Compton]

It helps you. Where Charl laughs about something of. She's like, I was wondering if you were going to tell that story story or not. Especially the one shelf story. She's like, I was curious if you were going to. How that was going to go if you told that story knowing that I was so, you know, like in the. I had such a. A pissy attitude about it.

[Sherman Young]

It's very similar to skydiving. Like, being a parent of like, there is no amount of books that you can read about skydiving that is going to get you ready for that moment of when you're out of the airplane. Plane and you see the ground and you're like falling. Like, there's no, like, you can't just be like unexpert.

[Will Compton]

Right.

[Sherman Young]

And we are not experts. And we constantly say we're not experts and we aren't but like, if you go skydiving once, you can at least be like, oh, yeah, dude, you're gonna be nervous as hell before you jump out of the plane. That's okay. Everyone is.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

And for another dad that, like, is so nervous going into it. I. E. Me like hearing that in the comments from the pt6ers, it did assuage. Is that the correct word? It did affect how. How I felt like it did help me to be like, oh, okay. Not only is like, my boss, Will that wants the best for me saying like, dude, you got it. It's okay. Like being nervous, that means you care. Blah, blah. And I'm like, okay, well, Will just kind of likes me and he's my boss, so he's just saying that and. But then you read in the comments like oh dude, I was sick to my stomach, blah blah blah. And like it's totally normal and you're gonna kill it. It's like that's all you need.

[Will Compton]

The PT6ers were all in it.

[Sherman Young]

I don't even know how we got on that.

[Will Compton]

Me neither. But I love the convo, bro.

[Sherman Young]

We were looking at pictures of Scarlet. That was my cracker colon.

[Will Compton]

Crack a cold one brought to you by Liquid iv.

[Sherman Young]

Come on. Hydrating. And dude, this bomb pop flavor is nuts.

[Will Compton]

I know you had a you had your dad hack earlier. I have1 from YouTube from the YouTube comments that I was going to share because my dad hack was more so asking for dad hacks of you know, or maybe just hearing the struggles and we're not alone on not alone on the morning routine. I'm sure it's chaos for absolutely everybody but dad hack and I love this one. This one's from Jonathan Vella. 4854 PT6 here. 20 month. 20 month girl and just found out there's another one in the oven. Good, good dad hack. We had TVs that had the same remote and could work together that could work the. Wait, wait, wait. Dad hack. We had TVs that had the same remote and could work the other TV rock one with batteries, one without. To where your kiddo wants to grab the remote and mess with the tv. You give them a remote. A second remote. One doesn't have batteries or it's to a different tv.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Also I would give rue the fireplace remote. She'd end up rocking turning the fireplace on. But they always want to mess with the remote. So I thought that was a great dad hack. Have a second remote out there and.

[Sherman Young]

With the batteries out. Because they'll know. They'll get old enough to know eventually that it's like, like yeah, hey, this isn't a real remote. If you give them a fake one.

[Will Compton]

And all parents and dads out there is like, oh yeah, that's a no brainer. But again, there's new fathers coming into this equation. There's new fathers joining PT6 that are super nerds that pro that that makes sense to them, but they're not even thinking about about that. So that's a good simple dad hack to add to your bag to add to the PT6 backpack.

[Sherman Young]

It doesn't have to like you do not have to reinvent the wheel for it to be a good dad dad hack to Your exact point.

[Will Compton]

Say that again.

[Sherman Young]

You do not have to reinvent the wheel for it to be a good dad hack it. Truly the little My dad hack this week was I found it in my DMS from, like, three weeks ago, and I just found it, and I was like, dude, Jill and I ran into this last week. I wish I had read this three weeks ago, but it's. Hey, if Scarlet. I saw on the pod, Scarlet, Scarlett's been burping up a lot. Try burping her every single ounce during a feed. Like, stop after she's had an ounce burp. If you don't get a burp out, it's fine. Just put that bottle back in. Second ounce goes down burp. Oh, you got the bubble out that time. Now she's ready for the third ounce. And that's something we're implementing now without that dad hack. But it's like just those little things.

[Will Compton]

Little things, man.

[Sherman Young]

Little things.

[Will Compton]

Should we get into our hotline? 601 the Dads. You want to be featured on the show? You want some free merch? You call into our hotline. You leave a voicemail. Chef, captain of Seaman Team 6, he goes through them, and then we will feature. It's like, I want to say, last week, we did one. We're gonna have about three this week.

[Sherman Young]

Hotline hotline. Additional shout out. Though an additional game to put you guys on is we said it before. We said, hey, if you start the call with like, yo, what up, Chef? More likely that you'll probably get it played. Now. New guy Derek is on the scene and will be helping with the voice bells now.

[Derek Whiten]

So any Steelers fans out there?

[Sherman Young]

Oh, and he's a Steelers fan.

[Will Compton]

He's a Pittsburgh guy.

[Sherman Young]

He's a Pittsburgh. He's got Pirates hat on right now.

[Will Compton]

Pirates, Penguins, Steelers, you name them, he's on him.

[Derek Whiten]

River Hounds, too. We got it on them all.

[Will Compton]

Okay, okay.

[Sherman Young]

He's deep.

[Will Compton]

He's deep in the Pittsburgh fandom.

[Sherman Young]

He's deep in the lore, and he did. Yeah, a little. Do we, before we jump into, want to let him intro himself like we did with Chef?

[Will Compton]

Absolutely. Great call, Sherm. He's part of the fam now.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, he's part of the fam. What do you want to know? Just give him your.

[Will Compton]

Give him your name, where you're from. Maybe a little background on how you ended up here, why you love this, why you love the brand.

[Derek Whiten]

Derek Whiten from Pittsburgh. Moved down here about five years ago to Nashville. Worked in advertising before, and then I had a couple Buddies who were transitioning into dad life that sent me the show. They know I was a big Compton guy. I was a big busing guy. And so they sent me the show. Became obsessed with it. Recently got engaged. I'm a funkle. Very proud of that. I stole a couple for you, for the kids. I'll tell you after. That was great. Like a couple clips from the show. Works as an uncle, too. What you guys are building was, like, the coolest thing I've ever stumbled onto. It's something that you don't have to be a dad to enjoy. I got my fiance in it. I got my mom watching it at the beach while we're on vacation. She's asking a lot of questions to describe some of the things you're talking about. It's getting a little awkward on the phone calls.

[Will Compton]

Shout out Marshall, the episode, the hump in all.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, yeah, there's a couple.

[Derek Whiten]

You fast forward through that part. Yeah, I give her the timestamps, but now, man, I'm as yinzer as they come. I was talking to Chef, recent Vols guy. So I'm introing into the Tennessee lifestyle here. But no, dude, this community is great. Everything you guys are saying is awesome. I have been like, I laid out these clothes last night to come in today. Feel like it's day zero of school. I held a little sign that says, my name's Derek. First day of school.

[Sherman Young]

Geek to be here.

[Derek Whiten]

Love everything about the show, but there we are.

[Sherman Young]

We got to get that picture up.

[Will Compton]

And another thing he mentioned that I know could be a hitter is the uncle stuff getting some uncle gear.

[Sherman Young]

We got.

[Will Compton]

It's been talked about. Taylor's brought it up. A lot of the guys have brought it up. Yeah, but getting some uncle gear as a funkle.

[Derek Whiten]

The one thing I did is we were sitting there with the. My fiance's niece and nephew, and the niece was saying something. Something like, I want to do this. And I looked at her and I said, how many times do you want to do it? And it was something you had said in a previous episode. And she goes, one more time's good. And I said, all right, let's do it one more time. Because she was something that was just going. I'm like, we got to go inside. And she's like, I don't want to. You're just Derek. And I was like, well, how many more times would make you happy? She's like, just one.

[Sherman Young]

I was like, I'll do it with you.

[Derek Whiten]

It was like, throw a ball against the garage or something. But this show works for that it works for. I was talking to you first day dog dads. I have two proud furry kids at home. They're little doggos. The one set a streaker from two.

[Sherman Young]

Rooms across a hallway.

[Derek Whiten]

I'm not gonna say if it was her dog or my dog. A complete stinker across the house. And we both walked downstairs and I said, good. And my wonderful fiance said, what is good about that? And I said, just wait, honey.

[Sherman Young]

You'll see the show.

[Derek Whiten]

You'll understand. Yeah, I cleaned up the.

[Sherman Young]

Was it a streak?

[Derek Whiten]

It was two. So the reason I knew it was her dog is he. He'll take a shit, take two steps, drop a shit. Take two steps, drop.

[Sherman Young]

He's a plopper.

[Derek Whiten]

There was two formal shits and then a streak like a slug ran through the house just from the kitchen to a side room.

[Will Compton]

Good. Good. Why are you saying good? Because we got to embrace this shit. Literally.

[Sherman Young]

Literally. If that ain't Goose. By the way, one of my dogs, he's a little, you know, waffle.

[Will Compton]

You got to watch her being in English. Like she'll shit, but there'll be some poop still sitting on her butthole when she comes in the house because that like, you know, capped off no waffle. Get your ass back outside.

[Sherman Young]

Speaking of.

[Derek Whiten]

We are.

[Sherman Young]

Dad, call ins.

[Will Compton]

Got her. Dad, call ins. And again, chef. Don't be scared to just playing the dad ripping into me for the Willie one show.

[Derek Whiten]

All right, you the dad's heard that, too.

[Will Compton]

Love the energy.

[Sherman Young]

GC is a general contractor.

[Will Compton]

Money to put a warning. Warning.

[Sherman Young]

Ver.

[Will Compton]

What is it? What's. What's the word?

[Sherman Young]

Explicit language.

[Will Compton]

Explicit language.

[Sherman Young]

Warning. Vulgar warning. What a legend, dude.

[Will Compton]

What a legend. Gcsa. Where'd you get that shirt? Send a link to the podcast. See you there.

[Sherman Young]

See you there. I need to start doing that, especially on, like, restaurant recommendations. Yo, what was that place that you were at? Blah, blah. Oh, is that hawker? See you there. It's a good one.

[Will Compton]

[Sherman Young]

What a legend.

[Will Compton]

What a legend.

[Sherman Young]

And, dude, been there. The tire stuff sucks, dude.

[Will Compton]

And on a. It sounds like a new truck.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, I had a double blowout because a piece of rebar was slipping, sticking out of the asphalt enough to where, like, only this much a rebar was showing, so had no idea what it was when it happened. Just driving down the road and. And both of them just, boom. My entire car went to one side. It was scary, dude. It was scary.

[Will Compton]

That's tough. 2,000 miles and you got that flat tire. God, that reminds me. I need to get my oil changed. I'm like 2000 over right now.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, no. Oh, oh, oh, wait. 2000's not, like, super bad.

[Will Compton]

It's not super bad.

[Sherman Young]

No, that's not super bad. You'll be all right. They say to change every, like, 3,000 to really be on it, but 2,000.

[Will Compton]

Over when it said I needed it.

[Sherman Young]

That's what I'm saying. There. There are some schools that thought that's like. It's really only every five that you need to change.

[Will Compton]

Okay. So that makes me feel better.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, you're right. Good, good. But shout out. What was his name? Chef. I'm so sorry. I don't.

[Derek Whiten]

Did he say his name?

[Sherman Young]

Shout out for God, boys beforehand.

[Derek Whiten]

We thought he was from Philly. His area code is a Tampa area code, which, now that I'm hearing his voice, I don't know.

[Sherman Young]

Now.

[Derek Whiten]

I thought I was gonna get a big go Birds at the end of that from everything.

[Will Compton]

Oh, thank you for calling in.

[Sherman Young]

Thank you.

[Caller - Dad Story]

Chef Jack, Papa, Sharon, Willie, one shelf. Good morning. I say good morning because it is currently 5:45. Driving on my hour and a half commute listening to the show. Love it. I got a dad fail the other day. I feel like I had to share with the boys. Currently in football season just starting Up. So I am in the thick of it right now, you could say, going through it. So I get home later in the evening, don't get as much time to spend with my boys and my wife as I would like. So I try to take advantage of the small moments. Don't really like to come in and drop the hammer right when I get home and get on my oldest. But the other night, he was giving mom a fit and accidentally hit his brother a little too hard. So I had to go into dad mode on him. And once we had our chat, he was crying in his room. So I walk over and check on him to make sure he's okay. And I asked him what was wrong, and he said, daddy, you just broke my heart. So in that, in turn, broke my heart.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Caller - Dad Story]

So I had to sit down with him and turn it into a lesson of, you know, he protects his baby brother. When I'm not at the house, he protects baby brother and mom. So that's. That's the purpose of being a boy Dad, I guess, trying to raise a little protector and raising to be a good brother and a good man. Love the show, boys. Keep doing what you're doing. Pt. 6 out.

[Will Compton]

Love that call.

[Sherman Young]

That was a great call.

[Will Compton]

That was. Because I think there's like. It's like my dad was like that, right? Yeah. Dad comes in the door and, oh, little fear enters your body. Giving mom problems. You hit your brother. I had two younger brothers, so there's always, you know, chaos around the three boys. But, you know, dad always dropped the. Always dropped the hammer on the boys. Yeah. But I will say this. What I appreciated, what I appreciated about that call is him talking like, you know, went in to sit with him, talk to him. Don't feel like, you know, love my dad, but I don't feel like that ever happened a whole lot.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

In our household, to where, you know, old man's coming back. Back around and sitting and listening to you. I feel like that means a lot to the boy that you go in and you. You got more on the empathy hat. Especially when he says, dad, you break my heart. Like, oh, God, that would sink me back into the couch. But you know what I mean? Just having that extra part again, it's like you're going to have those bad moments, and maybe, like, when you reflect as your dad, you're like, I kind of went about that all wrong. You. There's. There's still opportunity to come back around, like, going back into the room and sitting with them and, you know, airing it Out. However you guys are airing it out, turn it into a lesson. Putting on that empathy hat to where they're here. You guys are talking. You know what I mean?

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, dude. And the fact that like son is open to have that conversation of like saying like, dad, you broke my heart. You know, like being able to, like, voice his emotions. It sounds like that house does a good job of just kind of being able to. To talk it out.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

Like putting it out there.

[Will Compton]

The kid. I don't know how old the son is, but feeling safe enough to say something like, oh, you. You're. You know, you break my heart because a lot of times it's like if. If I'm getting talking to. From my old man. When I was little, it's like you're not really saying a whole lot. You're just like, yeah, I understand. Yes, sir. You're not trying to escalate the situation.

[Sherman Young]

I was a yes, sir machine.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

I know exactly what you.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. To where you're just sitting there in fear most of the time.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Versus having a space to where you're comfortable to say like, you know, this is how I feel. Or you broke my heart doing this. Then it becomes an entire. An entire lesson. You're giving them something to think about with, hey, the expectation. The reason I'm hard on you or the reason for X, Y and Z is you're the protector, bro. Like when dad's out of the house, when the head dog's out of the house. Like, you are the head dog.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

You are the man of the house. I could do a much better job of going about it different ways. I feel like a lot of times that's, you know, that's like the dad in you. You go hard for a moment, then you're like, ah, maybe I could have done it a little bit differently. I could have coached you up a little bit differently. I'm now feeling that in myself. I'm glad we're sitting here talking and you're listening. I'm listening to you. But this is why this happens. I'm not just doing it. I'm just doing it because I love to do it. I hate tanning your ass.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

But my thought process behind it is because of X, Y and Z. So that's something that I need you to think about and you to be conscious of as you continue to get older. Because you are. You're going to be the man of the house one day. Dad's not always going to be here. That always. That kind of. That sucks to Say out loud right now.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

But it's also the truth. I love that call. Shout out. Shout out that dad.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah, shout out that dad. I. I do love the. Not just telling them to be better, but, like, telling him how to be better. Like, the, the challenging him of, like, hey, you gotta be the protector. I know that that's like a pretty resounding thing across, like, parents and teachers of if you have a kid that's like, acting out, give them some responsibility, right? And it helps a ton. So, like, giving him the responsibility, possibility of like, hey, you. You gotta hold it down, dude. Yeah, I need you. We're a team.

[Will Compton]

It reminds me of a comment. This comes from my boy. I grew up with him. His name's Joey Winkle. And of the lesson last week, the punishment one underneath the clip was a comment. And his comment is, this is great. Something I learned from my father was, if you must punish them, make sure and sit down with them afterwards and explain why what they did isn't tolerated. Mistakes don't require punishment, but disrespect does. There's a fine line there, in my opinion, which I love.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, and shout out to my dad. He did do a good job of bouncing that in my eyes. Like, I think my dad did a really good job of. There were some times where, like, I got the belt and I never won the belt again, but most of the time I was just told, talking with my dad, you know, like, it was not always a spanking or whatever, but it was sitting down, talking through why we don't do that, etc, and seeing that for, like, my brother too. My brother very often would get, like, in a verbal altercation with my dad for any said reason. I feel like my dad did a good job of kind of like doing the bouncing act of having those conversations with my brother and working through it to where I did feel, like, safe enough to be able to voice my opinions as I grew up. My brother's 4 years old, so there are those, like, little things that you're like, oh, I kind of want to talk to my dad about or ask him if I can do this, or da, da, da. He might get mad, but I wasn't too scared to, like, hide anything from. From him, you know?

[Will Compton]

Yeah, I'd be nervous.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, yeah, dude.

[Will Compton]

For. Yeah. Growing up, it's. I. It wouldn't be the sit down afterwards. It would almost be a moment to where all the guards are down. And it might be a day later or a moment later in the week where we might end up. You Know, he. He'd be out in the garage and I'd like, go out in the garage. Or we'd be having like a deeper conversation about it to where he's more reflective and talking about it.

And she said, yeah, that's good, because Will's really been bringing the heat lately. And I feel like you need to start bringing the heat heat a little bit more. I said, what?

She's like this. This will guys out here bringing the heat. My husband's just a horn dog. What the heck?

[Will Compton]

Anyways, so he says you spent some time on it.

[Sherman Young]

I spent some time on it, which.

[Will Compton]

Fires me up because yesterday I think you were saying you were just going to do like a speech like from a movie or something like that.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, I'm going to allude to a movie scene like okay, that's like the example at the end. But I have like a full little.

[Will Compton]

Let's go bro. Fires me up. Okay, fire PT6 up bro.

[Sherman Young]

PT6. Today's theme is bravery. Fear is an extremely strong emotion. So strong that animals can physically sense and smell. When humans are afraid due to a chemical change in our bodies, we begin to sweat when fearful or anxious. And our brain releases cortisol, adrenaline, endorphins, dopamine and norepinephrine. I hope I nailed that one. These chemicals heighten alertness, numb our senses, numb our emotions and cause us to either fight, freeze or run when we're in fear. Oftentimes when we're angry, frustrated or sad due to an outward force in our life. And the anger, frustration or sadness will be the emotion that we display to the world. But the true cause of those emotions is actually caused by a deep seated fear. So fear is like the baseline emotion that then might have us a like that fight, freeze or run. It might cause you to fight, be angry, freeze, be sad, be, you know, isolate. When my wife becomes angry with me because I didn't remember to take the diaper trash bag out, it's not just the action of my heir that has angered her. It's her fear that she and our child Scarlet are not my highest priority. When I'm frustrated with the way a friend has treated me and sit and stew on it for minutes, hours or even days. It's not their actions towards me that have put me on the couch paralyzed with frustration or anger. It's the fear of having to confront them with my thoughts or feelings on the matter. Fear is such a basic instinct that it is physically contagious amongst humans, if someone jumps with fear, neurons literally fire off in our brains to mimic that same behavior. A scream can activate our fear reflexes in our brain on a primal level. And seeing fear turn to anger or sadness or frustration can also lead to others then adopting those same emotions. As we said before on the show, our kids are always watching us and picking up on actions and words that we say and display. With fear already being so contagious, it makes me Worry about passing that along to my daughter or even my wife. But in all caps, humans are interesting creatures because just as we display fear, like most animals of prey, we also possess bravery. And bravery is scientifically and physically just as contagious as fear. The same neurons that fire off to mimic fear patterns and others fire off when signs of bravery are displayed. Standing up to danger, staying calm under pressure, calmly confronting a friend that has wronged you, or yes, even forgetting to take out that. Or taking out that dirty diaper trash in the wee hours of the early morning while you're half awake. Dopamine and oxytocin release in your brain when you are brave, which gives us the feelings of connection, reward, and purpose. That neurological cocktail can override fear, especially in moments of anger, sadness, or frustration. Bravery is not the absence of fear. This is important. Bravery is not the absence of fear. It's the identification and self diagnosis of fear and then the decision to act in spite of the fear. So you have to first realize that you are afraid or something is causing you to feel that way and you have to act in spite of it. That's what bravery is. A great example of bravery, this is a selfish add on is Jerius Evans, also known as G baby in the film Hardball. This is. Dude, I might tear up if I read this monologue. But so good.

[Will Compton]

Read it. Stay in it, damn it. Stay in it.

[Sherman Young]

I know I tear up way too much.

[Will Compton]

Dude.

[Sherman Young]

Hey, give me just a second because I really don't want to tear up. Like, I actually don't because people are like, Sherman, what the.

[Will Compton]

Dude? Okay, the fear's triggering right now.

[Sherman Young]

It is.

[Will Compton]

Walk with it.

[Sherman Young]

Okay.

[Will Compton]

Not the absence.

[Sherman Young]

Let's go. Walk with it, Walk with it. Okay, so Jerusalem was the youngest player on the Cucumbers, the baseball team in this film. If you have not seen Hardball, Keanu Reeves is their coach. Not to get into the full plot of the movie, but he's not the best guy. He has to do the coaching because it's like court ordered.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

So Jerry is actually, sadly, he passes away in the film. And this coach is making this speech at Jerry's funeral and he's talking about a huge game that happened earlier in the film that you don't know the result of the game until this moment here where he's speaking at the funeral. He says, Jarius was a player on the Cucumbers baseball team that I coach. And honestly, he was too young to play. So he's the younger brother of a. A player on the team very Small and portrayed very small in the film as well. But he wanted to be a part of the team so badly that I couldn't say no. He had a great smile, too, though. I'm not telling you anything that you don't already know. He was a really, really tough kid. Just a boy who really wanted to be around his older brother. The other day, we played a really important baseball game against a good team, and. And with two outs in the last inning, I had no choice but to let Jerry's bat. And so in the. In the movie, you see that one of their best hitters has an asthma attack in the late stretch of the game. And Keanu literally has to put in this little kid or else they will have to forfeit the game. Yeah, I had no choice to put Jerus at bat. He was fear. He was fearless as he stepped to the plate, and I was terrified for him. With two strikes and our hopes dwindling, he shot. He hit a shot down the first baseline, and he won the game. And watching him raise his arms in triumph, he ran to first base. I don't know why I'm crying. I swear I was lifted in that moment to a better place. And I swear he lifted the world in that moment, and he made me a better person. And I think the thing that everybody. Because I'm obsessed with college football and I'm obsessed with underdog teams, and I think the thing that, like, everybody loves about a good underdog story is, like, the. The bravery that they show in the situation where they should be so scared, they should be worried, they should be fearful, but they, like, act in defiance of that. And I just think it's so cool that, like, chemically our brains, when we see something brave, it makes us want to be brave. And, I don't know, it just. It fires me up that, like, something so contagious and sometimes toxic fear can be good. It could be a good thing. But something toxic like fear is so contagious. But then also our brains are able to, like, have this contagious bravery that we can just be inspired by stuff. So I challenge the PT6ers to go out and be brave about anything. You know, like, really work through those times where you are feeling some anger, some sadness or whatever, and try and take a moment, take a breath, and kind of diagnose, like, why. Why am I truly feeling this way? Because I'm not actually mad that the grilled cheese was burned. I'm mad because I don't think wife, you know, is really thinking about me. Or cares about me or takes the time, but blah, blah, blah. And you know, in your heart of hearts that's not true or whatever.

[Will Compton]

You know, in your heart of hearts, most of the time, you're letting yourself down in some area.

[Sherman Young]

Yes, dude. Also, that. Also that. So, yeah, that was my lesson of the week. I didn't fully cry.

[Will Compton]

Good of work, bro.

[Sherman Young]

I kind of cried, but.

[Will Compton]

But I didn't feel you did. And I started to tear for a second. And I also feel like there's a component that's absolutely hilarious that you're tearing up during the hardball monologue, knowing it's not like it's a movie.

[Sherman Young]

It's a movie, dude. And it. I watch. I watch that movie, dude. I cry every. You could pull that video up right now on YouTube and not even watch the full movie. I will cry. Yeah. I will bawl my eyes out.

[Will Compton]

Like, you're reading this monologue in this moment like it was a real.

[Sherman Young]

About a fictional character that does not exist. Does it exist? And I'm tearing up. And it made you tear up? Oh, my.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, I started to tear up. It was like a weird. I was tearing up and also wanting to. To laugh, too.

[Sherman Young]

Like, what the hell are we doing here?

[Will Compton]

That's gonna be the longest clip we've ever made.

[Sherman Young]

It's so long. I wish that we could just run the clip of G baby hitting that shot.

[Will Compton]

Oh, absolutely, bro.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, my God.

[Will Compton]

But good work, man.

[Sherman Young]

Did I do all right?

[Will Compton]

Yeah, that was a. That was a classroom session.

[Sherman Young]

Let's go.

[Will Compton]

You were breaking down the science of everything, dude.

[Sherman Young]

Is that crazy? Like, animals can literally. Like, horses and dogs can straight up. That's why they say when you get on a horse's back, they're like, chill out. Because the horse can literally be like, this motherfucker's like, yeah, I don't want him on my back.

[Will Compton]

I love, too, that you hit the part. It's like, bravery is not the absence of fear. It's legitimately just identifying it. Identifying it, accepting it, and walking with that. Yeah, that's what it is at all times.

[Sherman Young]

Yes. And to, like, I know we have a lot of military listeners and a lot of police firefighter listeners. There was something cool that I came across when I was doing research for this of the number one reason why firefighters, police officers, vets feel brave enough to charge into a dangerous situation is because they see one of their own doing it. That's the number one reason across the board. When asked, like, where do you get that bravery? I see it in somebody else. And then it makes me feel like I'm strong enough to do it.

[Will Compton]

I love that, man.

[Sherman Young]

It's so cool, dude. Like, just the leading by example in any kind of way.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

So funny, too, dude. Of just how primal our brains are.

[Will Compton]

If.

[Sherman Young]

If chef over there was like, whoa, what the. It went like that. All of our brains would go, what. What was that?

[Will Compton]

Right?

[Sherman Young]

Like, we are primal creatures.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. That was awesome. That was a great word. And it was also funny.

[Sherman Young]

Let's go. Hey.

[Will Compton]

I was like. I was trying to remember the monologue that Keanu Reeves was given.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Is. It's a great movie if you haven't watched Hardball. Phenomenal movie.

[Sherman Young]

Oh.

[Will Compton]

And I'm wondering what part in this is, like, is gonna, like, break you down, because I remember you're ever. You tear up when you're watching that movie because it's a very sad, like, story. And as you're going through it, like, he's just recapping a game right now, and this is shaking him to the core. He's in it. He's in this movie.

[Sherman Young]

He pictures just crying. Dude, we have to play that video and just have me watch it in front of you guys. I'll literally bawl my eyes out. I will bawl my eyes out. We didn't even talk about the part where he sits. He sits G baby down before he goes out onto the plate because it, like, takes you to the game. And he's like, hey, you do whatever you want out there. If you don't want to swing, you don't have to. Just know that we're proud of you no matter what happens. And GB Was. Yeah, okay.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

That pitcher just puts some heat, like, right by his face. And he. He drops the bat, right?

[Will Compton]

Because the bat's, like, too big for him.

[Sherman Young]

Oh, yeah, you get up, G baby.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

And then when. When he lines up for the pitch that, like, he smokes, it does that close up shot of G baby, like, gripping the bat and kind of like, you know, wins.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

A little bit, like, getting into it.

[Will Compton]

Oh, dude, dude, that was awesome. You could have not even mentioned hardball. You could not have mentioned G baby. And you could have just. You were in such a moment in a role right there that you could have accepted that as a story that you witnessed. You know what I mean, dude? Like, the way. The way you were feeling that monologue. Because what. What was making me just tear up Just seeing you. Hey, that's another thing. Brains were firing. I'm seeing you tear up. Yes. I'm, like, weirdly reacting and tearing up. And then I'm reminding myself, I'm like, he's the. He's deep right now in this Hardball movie. Like, he just saw it.

[Sherman Young]

I'll cry the fictional books. I'll cry to movies. I told you, when I saw Creed in theaters for the first time, I was a mess.

[Will Compton]

Dude. Dude, I listen. I cry. I cry in movies, too. I'm talking the reenactment that you just delivered.

[Sherman Young]

That's what I'm saying is like, you remember when we were joking around?

[Will Compton]

Like, I feel like you witnessed.

[Sherman Young]

Yes.

[Will Compton]

All of this in real life.

[Sherman Young]

You remember when we were joking around about that line in Creed where you.

[Will Compton]

Probably sitting at home with the couch, man, he's really feeling this. He loves this G, baby, this hardball.

[Sherman Young]

I do. When we were joking about Creed in the office. And that line that Sly gives Creed before he goes, he's like, you know, now go out there and knock thy.

[Will Compton]

Son of a. Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

He's like, I'm going to knock that so bitch down. He's like, hey, I know you will.

[Will Compton]

You want to know why?

[Sherman Young]

Because you're a Creed and I love you, kid. And then the music kicks in, just us talking about it. That. That was, like, months ago in my head when you were, like, saying that line, I was starting to get the goosebumps and, like, feeling in my throat.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, dude.

[Sherman Young]

Film just gets me fucking amped.

[Will Compton]

And that was awesome. That was awesome. When you're like, I might tear up on this part. I'm like, oh, man, he going to recite some story. Like, he's going to recite something from home that just touches him in a different way. And then you just start going into the Hardball monologue.

[Sherman Young]

When Scarlet's passy falls out of her mouth and she wants to cry, but she doesn't. She keeps it in. And I reach down to the floor, I grabbed that pacifier. Yeah.

[Will Compton]

That's good stuff.

[Sherman Young]

Thank you.

[Will Compton]

Thank you, everybody, for tuning in.

[Sherman Young]

Were y' all gonna say something after. After he's ever seen Hardball?

[Will Compton]

Now you have to. Is that right there? Doesn't be like, I gotta go watch this goddamn movie.

[Derek Whiten]

But I was sitting there. Sherm's like, Then the monologue tear up. I'm like, what the. This movie.

[Will Compton]

Hey, that's what's making me laugh. My head, too. I was like, I wonder if there's people out there just like, is this. Is he. Is he going through a movie scene?

[Sherman Young]

They're gonna be.

[Will Compton]

They're gonna Be googling.

[Sherman Young]

They're gonna be like, Jarius Evans, who's this kid?

[Will Compton]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Sherman Young]

Sitting there going, he's so sad.

[Will Compton]

He's breaking down. Is, is. Did he say that this is a movie.

[Sherman Young]

They're gonna be halfway listening and just go, God, is that epic story. This should be a movie. This is so good.

[Derek Whiten]

I wanted to like really empathize with how you were starting to tear up on this monologue the whole time. But I'm thinking, I'm like, God, this movie must be like a real. And he's like, it's a baseball movie. And I'm like, okay. Field of dreams gets me water eyed.

[Sherman Young]

But I guess.

[Derek Whiten]

And then, and then I catch myself.

[Will Compton]

That's always in my head. I'm like, I'm laughing in my head too, too. Like, man, he's really ace. Hardball got him going.

[Sherman Young]

I don't. I, I really need to like, sit down and I'm not worried about the movie stuff because like, I love that I cry to movies and books, but I need to sit down and really analyze why cry whenever I like talk about like deep emotion stuff because I want to be better at like talking about this. That. You know what I mean?

[Will Compton]

I thought you did a good job, man. I know you did a great job.

[Sherman Young]

Thank you. But there's those.

[Will Compton]

Hey, again you care.

[Sherman Young]

Yeah. There's those moments that you want to do a good job though.

[Will Compton]

Like you did do a good job.

[Sherman Young]

I'm saying in the past, like at one of my best friend's weddings, I'm doing a groomsman speech.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Sherman Young]

And I had to, I literally had to go sit down and collect myself. Two girls went. And then I went back up and finished.

[Derek Whiten]

Finished my speech.

[Sherman Young]

That sucks. That sucked. Shout out Daniel Naman, I love you. I couldn't even make it through the speech. And Jill's sitting over there rubbing my back.

[Will Compton]

That's a movie scene. What just happened with that monologue? Just somebody up there breaking down over a movie scene. And all the buddies in the back, he's. He's talking about hardball. Right, bro?

[Sherman Young]

That's me talking about a movie.

[Derek Whiten]

Comes up to you. Please don't go too hard, guys. There are certain stories that I'm not.

[Will Compton]

Going to let you get the mic.

[Derek Whiten]

If you're going to say that. And then Sherman gets up there, starts tear eyes, start.

[Will Compton]

Starts a quarter of a speech, has to sit down. All right, that's, that's all right. Let's. Let's let Janet and Stephanie. Yeah, let's let Janet and Stephanie, you guys all right? Janet goes, you're still sure you still need a moment? All right, Stephanie, you come up too.

[Sherman Young]

The best part was like, I.

[Will Compton]

Are you good to finish now, Sher?

[Sherman Young]

I'm all like. When I, you know, like, bad trying to talk through the crying. I go sit down, and then Janet was like, real fun and cute energy. So then all of a sudden just comes up to the mic, and she's like one of those classic read off the bed. She's like, okay. So I always knew that she. He was the one.

[Will Compton]

This was the story where I knew she loved him.

[Sherman Young]

I knew Daniel was gonna be the guy. And I'm literally over there, just Jill's rubbing my back, like, get it? The gather.

[Will Compton]

We thought he was pretty weird at first. He, like, ate an entire bottle of mayo. And we're like, what the is happening? And I look over at Jill, and she's got this sparkle in her eye. And that's when I knew she loves this weirdo.

[Sherman Young]

I was like, oh, my God. I forgot Jill loves mayo too. That's crazy. I'm just in tears. In tears. And the only part.

[Will Compton]

And he's got his shirt off the whole time. Oh, my God.

[Sherman Young]

That's literally how it went down, dude. I have to show this to Daniel. He's gonna be crying, laughing.

[Will Compton]

Oh, gosh. We gotta end it.
