00:01:20
Speaker 3: Scarlet's she's climbing out of her crib, super easy on Mom and Dad.

00:01:24
Speaker 2: That's actually ideal. You look for that. Yeah, thunderstorm woke up Scarlet last night. She comes into bed at two am. That damn it was a thunderstorm.

00:01:35
Speaker 3: Loud.

00:01:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, was it hailing at one point?

00:01:37
Speaker 3: I think it was just really heavy rain. And I don't know about your roof. Do you have a ten riof? I'm trying to remember you.

00:01:45
Speaker 2: I think it's a good question.

00:01:48
Speaker 3: It's a good question we'll get in the next we're podcasting shown.

00:01:54
Speaker 1: I was like laying in bed and it this loud noise bang. Whether it's in the fireplace, maybe it's a tin roof.

00:02:01
Speaker 3: Oh, we could have been the fireplace. Honestly, I got to making that made us think, like, yo, is it hailing?

00:02:07
Speaker 2: Outside. Unfortunately the kids didn't wake up.

00:02:09
Speaker 1: Well, Scotty woke up, but probably, like I don't even know, close to one in the morning. I had to go up there and find the passing and get it in there and lock in.

00:02:17
Speaker 3: Are you a two hander guy, or do you just guess searching guests with one hand?

00:02:21
Speaker 2: I was.

00:02:22
Speaker 1: I had my watch out and I had the red light on it. People who can see the red light, I'm on. I'm on my hands and knees going around. Yeah, because the red light is low, it's not bright.

00:02:30
Speaker 2: Snipers can't see it through their scopes.

00:02:32
Speaker 1: Because Scotty's webbing' ub. We use webbing ubs. She has a webbing ub that she that we call Lama. It's a lama webbing up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, But it's gotten to the point because Scotti is seventeen months eighteen months, sorry, sweetheart, correct me if I'm wrong. The passing party is now separated from the stuffy. So she goes the still the beankie, the passing in the mouth from the webbing up and just holds Lama.

00:02:57
Speaker 2: So she had Lama.

00:02:58
Speaker 1: I could see Lama in the crib this light off, I can see lom in the crib, but I couldn't find the little blue passy. On hands and knees, I'm looking in her little stuffy bind Where did she throw it? Outside the crib? I look under the crib. There's passes. There's like three passes under the crib. She doesn't use the normal passies. She needs a specific lama one. Even the webbing nubs, even the other webb and nubs in the crib. Poor little deer, poor little moose. They don't get any love. I try to use that one. She doesn't want it. She wants the one that came from you want. So I'm going around trying to find this blue little rubber passy. Turns out she was just laying on it. But I started sweating at one point, trying to move things around because I'm in there.

00:03:35
Speaker 2: It's middle of the night, it's dark.

00:03:37
Speaker 3: I'm on my hands and knees, the got the red light out trying to look for it, and she's, you know, whining and everything else.

00:03:44
Speaker 2: Sweetheart, dead as here, deads here. Don't worry. We'll find this sweeter. Where'd you throw it? Hey?

00:03:48
Speaker 1: Where'd you throw it? He'll be out and then I just lift up. I'm feeling under and then I felt it underneath there, put it in. We were locked step, ready to go. She calmed down. I'm able to pat her on the back a couple of times. It's okay, you can go back to sleep that night. Then I just walk out.

00:04:01
Speaker 3: I'm a big two hand guy. I go in blind, go in blind, going blind, the lights off. Left hand finds the mouth and tries to keep it right there, and then right hand. So you'll be sitting there trying to work your fingers on her face and she like, she feels her cheeks. She's going on my fingers because she's like, is this a passy? I can't see you're poking her in the eye.

00:04:24
Speaker 2: I do it blind.

00:04:26

00:08:32
Speaker 2: In hot off the press, right in time. Doesn't say happy mother's day, says boy mom. Boy mom.

00:08:41
Speaker 1: We got boy mom hats. Oh what are you holding up?

00:08:46
Speaker 3: I am holding up a crew neck that has a matching uh, sweatpants. It's a little sweat set, and says for the moms, quality goods.

00:08:57
Speaker 2: YEA, making it look easy. It's not. It's not.

00:09:01
Speaker 3: They're always making it look easy, and it's not. It's embroidered for the moms. A little sweat set. Very cute, you're talking about not easy. Here's the text that I got earlier. Evaporator is frozen solid. He says unit has to be off for at least twenty four hours for it to melt, So no AC upstairs for the next twenty four hours at least, which means the kids will have to sleep downstairs tonight. Great, she said, great, Oh great, good, Oh that's perfect.

00:09:31
Speaker 1: Last night I was going upstairs to put Scottie down, and as I went upstairs, you started to feel the shift in temperature going upstairs. I'm like, oh shit, what's going on with the ac? Hoping it was just like maybe the frozen pipes. I've had an example where the pipes are frozen. You shut it down because but usually it's just blowing out, just regular, you know, room temperature, air or heat or whatever.

00:09:52
Speaker 2: Normal air average.

00:09:56
Speaker 3: The og stuff. Man, you know what we're talking. I can't call normal air. It's not cold, it's not odd, it's just normal normal.

00:10:06
Speaker 1: But that's the example before to where Okay, you kind of I kind of know what's going on. Maybe the pipes is froze, maybe you need to shut it off for a second. But it's blowing nowhere. This stuff's on, but nowhere is coming out. Yeah, so you know me, I'm investigating the situation, flipping the breakers on and off, kind of just looking at the unit like I'm going.

00:10:24
Speaker 2: To touch it and do something within say a couple say a couple of huh give it a yeah, yeah, I don't know what it is. And walk outside.

00:10:33
Speaker 1: The fans weren't blowing like you know, the big the big unit that got the fans on the day, got.

00:10:38
Speaker 2: The metal on. The little.

00:10:41
Speaker 1: One's going. The other one wasn't. So I'm like, okay, maybe that's something. I'm looking at the wires. I'm looking at the breaker box again. I got my this one I had, I had the White Lives.

00:10:49
Speaker 2: This is that night.

00:10:50
Speaker 1: This is outside, yeah, bro, nighttime out. They're looking at everything. This is zero dark thirty, Like, is there are a couple of buttons I can push to check? It didn't look like that was the case. Saw a couple of little box As I opened them up, I looked at him. Breaker to this, breaker to that. Probably not my cup of tea.

00:11:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you can go get a cup of coffee at bwtv dot com for Mother's Day.

00:11:10
Speaker 2: Merry a wineglass or d glass. Yeah, but I'm like, we're gonna have to call somebody.

00:11:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, but so it seems like we have a what I say, frozen frozen frozen evaporator.

00:11:24
Speaker 3: It's frozen solid. I got two dead hacks for you. But how that that I cannot solve. But I do have two pretty decent dad hacks for you.

00:11:35
Speaker 1: You get into the get into the dead egg, because I got a question.

00:11:39
Speaker 3: When you see it frozen over, you can go out there and hit it with the host, pour some hot water on it.

00:11:46
Speaker 2: You can defrost those pipes yourself.

00:11:48
Speaker 3: That doesn't fix the root cause, but that can get the cold air blowing.

00:11:53
Speaker 2: So then you don't have all those little you.

00:11:55
Speaker 3: Know before are running them out. Oh it's odd to you, it's not in the house. Oh no, it's not in the house. You see me sweating, that's that HAC number one, that hack number two. You remember when that HVAC guy was like, hey, you can watch over my shoulder. I was like, I don't want to breathe down your neck. I just want to see how you know the sauce is made. And he was like, yeah, And there's a converter that are in HVAC units. And this is a key piece because a lot of stuff like it may be whatever the evaporators like froze over whatever, if you have a faulty converter, that can lead to like a whole mess of things. Is what I learned from him, Like it all starts with the converter and a sign to look out for. Dad's pay attention, moms, pay attention when the AC kicks in in your house and that little light flicker happens.

00:12:57
Speaker 2: Have you ever noticed that with like a.

00:13:01
Speaker 3: Need a new converter, need a new converter, the converter's not doing a good job of pulling the energy from your house into kickstarting your he track unit. And so when the lights kind of dim and flicker a little bit when AC kicks in, call the a track guy, get a new converter. I'm looking right now. I just looked up how to unfreeze the evaporator in the ace. Oh what they say, turn off the cooling setting at the thermostat immediately and set the fan toil on to circulate warm era, allowing it to thow for one to twenty four hours.

00:13:30
Speaker 2: That's where the twenty four hours at least us in. Do not turn the AC back on it till it's fully dry. But how do I know?

00:13:37
Speaker 1: Like what pisses me off is I don't know what a fucking evaporator is. Evaporator coil.

00:13:41
Speaker 2: You'll see it.

00:13:42
Speaker 4: It's on the very back of your unit, and if it's frosted, you'll it's very easy to tell, like, oh, there's just a shit kind of ice.

00:13:48
Speaker 2: It just pisces me off. What makes me mad is that we're in a new house and.

00:13:53
Speaker 1: Like when people coming in and out of the house or they fix something, because there's all these like it's new house problems or new construction problems, or this house is old, or this happens all the time. Everything is like it sounds so normal to say, oh, this happens because of X, Y and Z, doesn't matter insert whatever answer you want.

00:14:10
Speaker 3: My issue is bro, it's brand new, Yeah, why.

00:14:15
Speaker 2: Is there problems?

00:14:16
Speaker 3: And if it's like, oh, it's normal it's new construction or new this or new that, It's like, at what point does the industry identify that it's always somebody coming over saying this is normal with a new this, with a new construction house, and it's like, oh, why can't it just be new?

00:14:31
Speaker 2: You'd be good and ready to go.

00:14:33
Speaker 3: You know a H track guy told me because he's also a salesman, he sells a tracks.

00:14:38
Speaker 2: He said, you know that little.

00:14:40
Speaker 3: Conspiracy theory about iPhones and that the updates slowly kill your phone, making you need a new one. Hvacs are the same damn thing many and the phone shit is real.

00:14:54
Speaker 1: I feel like you get a year out or a couple of years out, like pictures don't look as clear. It always like the new ones got the brightest, sickest looking photos. And it's like, yo, I felt the same way with the phone that I'm holding right when I bought it last year or two years ago. It always seems like they make the photos worse. Battery dice quicker. We know the battery thing. We know the battery thing.

00:15:15
Speaker 3: He was telling me, I'm not gonna it is not my place to name drop these brands.

00:15:20
Speaker 2: But there are two very major HVAC brands that.

00:15:25
Speaker 3: Had the opportunity to update some of their parts decided not to, and they're sticking with the old parts because they would have to change all their manufacturing, warehouses, all that stuff to keep up with the technology of our houses and the power grids, and they just left it as old tech.

00:15:44
Speaker 2: And they know that you shit is going to be dying out in like three or four.

00:15:48
Speaker 3: Years, and they get to come and give you a new one and pay extra money for your warranty.

00:15:55
Speaker 2: And just tell you the same old bullshit, all the same lines, Oh this is normal, this is it's new. It's blah blah blah.

00:16:02
Speaker 3: Well you kind of you know, you had some real hot summers three years in a row.

00:16:06
Speaker 2: I'll do it.

00:16:08
Speaker 3: All those little lines that you're like, I guess that makes sense. And this isn't an attack on the h VAC industry.

00:16:14
Speaker 1: We're not trying to take We're not trying to attack the HVAC industry. We're just bringing up concerns.

00:16:19
Speaker 3: We're bringing up concerns, you know how Joe Rogan has people on his podcasts that you're like like scientists, like scientists that you're like, oh my god, you just like opened up my eyes to a whole new thing. I didn't even know, Like that Atlantis guy where he's like Atlantis is in Africa. It's the eye of the Sahara. That's actually where Atlantis is. And I go down a rabbit hole for like ten hours.

00:16:42
Speaker 2: On my iPhone. Hm, we got to have a handyman on here, dude. Yeah, we need to get a dad that's deep in this industry. I don't even think you need to just do that.

00:16:51
Speaker 7: I think what you should do is higher contractors in here and pay them their hour rate. But they're not fixing anything. They're just on the pod and so where they're showing up high am from you know whatever that guy was from. Awesome, Hey, ours is actually working. We just we got some questions. We'll pay your hour rate. Do you mind sitting here on this pod and just answering some questions. We could get the mailman, the Amazon delivery guy. Yeah, get a full delivery guy. I'm just saying, that's a really good content. That's a great idea.

00:17:20
Speaker 2: That's a great idea. That's such a good idea, bro.

00:17:24
Speaker 3: I would sit there and pick the brain, and the dads are gonna listen to it at home.

00:17:28
Speaker 2: Dads are going to chime in with questions. Yeah, toumuts are probably flooded right now, telling us how we can fix out.

00:17:33
Speaker 1: Willie, you don't need all this, This is all you gotta do this. How you identify these three big problems with an AC unit, like you were talking about a couple of weeks ago.

00:17:42
Speaker 3: Oh, or how about the poop poop water coming up out of my shower drain. That was a new one. I'm sitting there with a plunger. You're trying to work on your three p's my three piece. They're coming underneath, they're taking tunnels. It's Vietnam in am I in my bathroom, but it's poop water. Hey, it happens, man, older house, older house, older unit. It was the pomp apparently.

00:18:08
Speaker 1: And then when you get the new one, Hey, this happens, man, newer, newer unit. Well, in the newer toilet, the.

00:18:13
Speaker 2: Guy was like, are you flushing wipes? To Jilly Bean? You're flushing wipes the pump. I mean it's it's burnt through a crisp.

00:18:22
Speaker 3: He flushing white, she flushing wipes. We were not We were not flushing white. I flushed a couple of wipes. This isn't I see you looking at me. This isn't consistent. I've only gone it. I can count on one hand how many times I flushed the white. That's awesome, that's good. That that looks wasn't like that was that was a judgment. I was just seeing where this was, where it was going.

00:18:44
Speaker 2: Only a few times. Man, Hey, I flushed wipes before. Just so you know, I have flushed some whites.

00:18:51
Speaker 3: Should we dive into comments, Yes, I have some follow ups from last week's episode.

00:18:57
Speaker 2: Again, we got a lot of ship boys.

Speaker 2: I'll tell you a little story.

00:20:00
Speaker 4: Last Thursday, I stopped by Public's, got myself a skirt steak through on the grill. Me like, well done, Yeah, screwed it. The first time I screwed a steak in a long time, like genuinely. Where I was eating it, I was like mad at myself. And I do this thing whenever I fuck up a meal, I make I eat all of it. So I get really mad and I go, I'm not gonna do that again. Completely screwed it, left on the grill too long. Yeah, And so I was, uh.

00:20:28
Speaker 2: You're eating a go at tire. It was legitimately like eating a tire. I was very upset. My dad came home and he was like, what's this? And you're thinking, Dad, No one's harder on the on their self than me.

Speaker 3: Just saw the dad hack of the week someone submitted about setting reminders. Take it a step further, and my wife's contact in my phone under the notes section, I have all of her regular orders from different restaurants, coffee places, et cetera. Now that is a hack. Love the show guys, Patrick Blisney Act, Blizzed Dog.

00:24:27
Speaker 1: That's a great hack if you were, if you were a forgetful human being, because once you get in the routine, I feel like Charles got such a simple latte. Order ice latte, whole milk, simple syrup. I usually know with tacos, salad, sandwiches, Bare Bones Butcher. She loves either Cuban or the meatball. No free shoutouts to uh Bear Bones Butcher. Love that place, great local spot here in Nashville.

00:24:47
Speaker 3: Hey, I'll tell you one thing. Jill doesn't like the case of dias a Chili's. Why in the world would I think she did? Why would I order that? Why would I order that and say, hey, honey, I got your favorite. I know what my wife doesn't like, Casadilla's from Chili's.

00:25:11
Speaker 1: Bro something that will get me. It could be something small like oatmeal, and if I don't have the right ratios. The the move of let's say we're sitting down to eat the oatmeal. You know, we'll start eating their oat meal, and she'll get up and go make it the way she needs it to be made. If something's a little off, yeah, or if I, like early in our marriage, because the ice laate things got to be down to a t.

00:25:42
Speaker 2: Her ice lat is her everything.

00:25:46
Speaker 1: Early in the marriage when we got our esprescial machine, if I didn't have enough sugar, or if I had too much, like it had to be redone. There is redone as and she'll walk over, get out the little spoon out here, clinking around the thing.

00:26:03
Speaker 2: And I'm just thinking, mm hm, there's no greater anvil in this world to be like galvanized on and just molded sugar then than getting someone's order, rob, have you guys coffee?

00:26:18
Speaker 4: Have you guys ever been told the correct way to fill a stanley with water? I've been chastised on how I fill up a stand with water? You got to fill it a certain one, chef, one of these, yes, one of those. Sure, Oh, how I please do?

00:26:31
Speaker 2: Tell I've hey, can you fill my water?

00:26:35
Speaker 5: Sure?

00:26:36
Speaker 4: Come back and go with the ice ratio is off? I go, Well, that's a little odd What do you mean? She goes, you need seventy five percent of the cup with ice and then and then water. But it has to be that or also just won't be right. And I said, huh, I didn't know.

00:26:53
Speaker 2: That weird weird thing about water.

00:26:56
Speaker 3: Bobo and chili Bean are would be best friends because I get that note. That's every week. Brother, you get it too, Oh that's every week. Oh yeah, just about to get in bed.

Speaker 3: Stanley whatever, No, free shoot up. I can't fucking open these things. To save my life. Death group, I'll sit there and just and I'll get the mark on that little mark on my hand. That's every night, that's every one of my.

00:27:59
Speaker 1: Easy about those things, though, is you put normal, normal temperature water in there.

00:28:06
Speaker 2: And it'll taste cold. I don't know how they do it. I want to. I want to see.

00:28:10
Speaker 1: It tastes cleaner, it tastes better no matter what bro especially you're drinking it through a straw trons one. It's not exactly like that, but she's got one of those bottles and I'll take zips on it every now and then I'm like, yo, this is the greatest water I've ever had.

00:28:22
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, there's something about when your significant other.

00:28:28
Speaker 2: Makes the water and you take a sip out of it.

00:28:30
Speaker 3: Go.

00:28:30
Speaker 4: I can't make water like that. If there's something about it. I've tried the seventy five percent ice. I still just can't get it. I go, hey, baby, can I please have a sip of water?

00:28:40
Speaker 2: Oh? Yes, sure, this is the best water.

00:28:42
Speaker 4: It's like a It's the same feeling as when you got out of recess after playing you know, two an touch football and you get to that water fountain and you're you went.

00:28:51
Speaker 1: Gold ball to dodgeball. Twenty minutes of recess is over. And you sprint to the water fountain.

00:28:57
Speaker 4: It's the best water you've ever had in your life or out of the whole after like a practice, dude, the.

00:29:02
Speaker 3: Little miniature furniture dollies that you would sit on with the little hand Uh do you know what I'm talking about, the little hand grips and you sit on it like a crab and you're kicking yourself across the gymnasium floor.

00:29:15
Speaker 2: You remember those? Yes? What is it? Oh, dude? Like the little four wheel roller things you would sit on and like you.

00:29:22
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, yeah, it's got the hand handle on each side, got chad, Yeah, you get.

00:29:27
Speaker 1: Some water after that. But that's where we're fucked up. We're talking about our best drinks of water being out a hose and a water fountain. Yeah, and now we're growing men tasting this water out of Stanley's and whatever the cuffs that they make.

00:29:38
Speaker 3: Getting the ice ratio right. So now for any dad's at home, they're dealing with the same thing. The advice I would give chef I put the ice.

00:29:46
Speaker 2: To the brim.

00:29:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just fill it to the brim and then I get I get the deeps looking at me like I'm crazy.

00:29:52
Speaker 2: I felt crazy doing it. Well, you just only have like that no water in it. There's no water.

00:29:59
Speaker 3: And make sure you're at McDonald's or wherever, because you gotta get the die coke from McDonald's.

00:30:05
Speaker 2: McDonald's. You gotta get the dia from mcdonald'st the McDonald's machines broon.

00:30:13
Speaker 3: Hey, I have a large diye coke with extra ice, Yes, but you know how you put extra ice in it. I need you to put extra extra ice in it, extra o, yes, ma'am. Okay, that's how you did it, dude, because it's never enough ice.

00:30:34
Speaker 1: And if you're at Chili's, don't get the case of the why would you get the case of the case. The problem too, that we are in is they never mess up our orders. They never they never mess.

00:30:48
Speaker 2: Up like our wives are.

00:30:51
Speaker 1: Our women take care of us way better then we take care of them when it comes to those when it comes to those things.

00:30:58
Speaker 3: Being dead serars when I asked this? Are you being sarcastic? Are you being serious? I'm being dead ass here?

00:31:04
Speaker 1: Okay, like like all the times where I'm sitting here and I'm like, you know, I'm sitting here fitted about the nuances. Yeah, Charles's orders or getting things the right way. I'm trying to think, like, okay, do I have anything in my brain that she gets wrong?

00:31:16
Speaker 2: And the answer is no.

00:31:17
Speaker 3: Okay, I feel really good because I've I was gonna laugh at first. I was gonna go down like a bit trail of her messing up my orders. And I was thinking about it. I was like, oh, damn, she does like nail it every time.

Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's really it's respect.

00:31:32
Speaker 7: Damn not to get ahead. One of you has the dad hack of the week. I believe now would be a wonderful time to read it. It has to do with this conversation.

00:31:43

00:32:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, waits you brought up Facebook.

Speaker 4: I'm so sorry, But have you guys ever seen a the fake the crazy fake stories on AI? And it's like college football base and they sent him out. I saw one that was the recent issue out in the correspondence dinner and it was like the guy who ran in the building with the gun was a UT staffer. All these it's like old Jim Bob from like Cokefield, Tennessee, is like, you tell me this guy coach for the balls?

00:32:26
Speaker 5: What the hell?

00:32:39
Speaker 2: That's all me. We know your algorithm is flooded with ut content. No, I see it for everything, though, I really do. I just put a ut example. The ball boy was at the court.

00:32:57
Speaker 2: I'll see that dinner we're shooting was at I'm sorry you see.

00:33:02
Speaker 1: The video on Facebook AI with the Tennessee staffer.

00:33:08
Speaker 2: No, I don't think I did.

00:33:09
Speaker 3: It was a planet. I'm telling you right now that ain't no Tennessee ball boy. That's Alabama ball boy wearing Tennessee gear. It's a false flag operation.

00:33:18
Speaker 2: If anybody comes across, don't believe it. They heard him saying roll tied.

00:33:24
Speaker 5: I swear to God I'm not the dad act.

00:33:27
Speaker 7: It is the comment under follow up from last week one of you had by Patrick Blisneyak oh I read that one, did you, blizz Dog?

00:33:36
Speaker 5: I didn't think you read that. I apologize if so.

00:33:39
Speaker 3: Blizz Dog said, we're losing the crowd right now. Blioz Dog said, taking a step further, my wife's contacted my phone under the note section of all over regular orders, different restaurants. Oh yeah, that's right, et cetera. That's what kicked it all off. That's what kicked it off. I want to get the merch.

00:33:57
Speaker 2: It's okay.

00:33:59
Speaker 3: He went to get the merge. He went, that's okay, that's okay. Look look look stay on track, stay on track, stay on track.

00:34:07
Speaker 2: We want do we want the Dada? Because we did drum roll for the dad. AC hate the Dad the Dada. That's a long dead hack hit the.

00:34:16
Speaker 3: Let's gave it me your email, say were breving Pallas Brown PTC. Go here running a household with a four year old daughter and an eleven month old son. So yeah, I basically live inside a hostage negotiation mornings before in school, before school, absolutely war zone. We're talking full scale meltdowns over everything outfits, no pants, war crime, socks apparently offensive and if it's not a dress, I might as well be asking her to wear a burlapped sack. Oh in breakfast, she wants pancakes every single morning, like she's a tiny carb obsessed king. So I had to adapt, evolve, and survive. I started playing shopkeeper. I go into her closet, then come back out as the sho upkeeper, full character, the whole thing, holding two three pre approved outfits like ah, yes, madam, welcome to Daddy's fashion boutique. These are today's finest selections. And now she shops, no fighting, no tears, just a tiny diva browsing like she's at Norstrom. Next step, I'm opening a restaurant. I'm making a breakfast venu five options.

00:35:23
Speaker 2: I'll be your waiter. Whatever she orders, I cross it off for the week.

00:35:28
Speaker 3: Sorry miss all out of pancakes supply chain issue. We'll see how long before she demands to speak to the manager, who is unfortunately also me. Good luck out there, boys, stay strong. Taylor from Franklin, Tennessee. Hey, that is an incredible right up, It's incredible, and I legitimately feels like he's in I'm in the same household he's in.

00:35:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, because mine, I have written.

00:35:53
Speaker 1: It's like Tantrum's four year old chaos with Scottie. This morning was a blow bath because scott he's just she's just upset. She's in she's having a moment. She's in a mood to where it's mama or die. You can't set her on the step stool, t yogurt.

00:36:11
Speaker 2: Rue. Same thing with my man here.

00:36:13
Speaker 1: Ruth's like comes up and we were in a phase, and I feel like it was before she turned four. Four just clicked in her brain that she wants pancakes all the time.

00:36:22
Speaker 2: Yeah. Good.

00:36:23
Speaker 1: But it would always be light to where I say, when mom's upstairs doing the morning routine, I'm downstairs doing the breakfast lunch, like getting everything set up for us to leave and do everything else. Get mom and breakfast, get all the kids breakfast, get Rou's lunch, all that stuff.

00:36:37
Speaker 2: But it would always be.

00:36:37
Speaker 1: Easier with Rue because Rue is good with like a yogurt, or if I'm making eggs, I'm usually making eggs for everybody, making eggs for myself, making eggs for my wife. Rue a eat eggs. Scotty would eat eggs. But now, bro, it's just a different ball game to where Rue just wants other stuff. She wants oatmeal. She wants oatmeal a certain way. She wants the dress comment spot on you want to bring out pants and a shirt or T shirt and shorts, She ain't having it. She wants to wear a dress today. Putting shoes on, the shoes things not as much of an issue. But she walked up this morning to the fridge like, I want pancakes on my sweetheart. We're all out of pancakes supply chain issues, and I got to open up every drawer in the fridge to show her that we don't have pancakes.

00:37:18
Speaker 2: Sweetheart, those were last week.

00:37:19
Speaker 1: Grab him in a ziplog back so that way we could heat them up when you wanted them. Well, we're out of pancakes. Is there anything else, sweetheart? Would you want to yogurt?

00:37:25
Speaker 3: I'm begging her to have a yogurt because I can just grab a yogurt cup out of the thing.

00:37:28
Speaker 2: We can set it up.

00:37:29
Speaker 1: I can slice a few strawberries or banana and go. Now she wants oatmeal, so I gotta make a whole thing with oatmeal. It's freaking oats, it's cinnamon, it's gias eats, it's Greek yogurt. I throwing a little bit of banana protein not enough to get her taste by as being like dead, I don't want protein in here. She got the right ratio of milk in there, and all while Scottie's on the stepstool or wherever mom is at trying to chase down Mom because she wants Mom the whole she's crying. She doesn't want anything, dude. It is a war zone in the mornings, dinnertime war zone. Now like rude just doesn't eat her dinner, and she doesn't eat dinner like for example, let's say we eat dinner around six fifteen, and we usually start bedtime very much.

00:38:16
Speaker 2: So was Scotty at seven?

00:38:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, we could be eating dinner the whole time, bro, and my wife and I will be done. We'll be trying to get scott at eat. But Scotty doesn't want what's in front of her all the time. She wants berries from the fridge. Should be pointing, trying to say her version of berries pointing at the fridge yelling or b b B that means banana.

00:38:34
Speaker 3: Mm hmm. She's a big fruit monster, bro, so you can't zilla. Zilla is a monster, but then't rude. Like we're trying to get scott at eat. Scotty starts to eating. We start trying to trick her with the berries. Hide the berries under the food, so she grabs both, get it on the fork. She's show you know, we're getting her to use a fork. Put the berry on first and the chicken.

00:38:55
Speaker 1: All wait, chicken off first, berry on after, So it's hiding behind the raspberry.

00:38:58
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah yeah. And so we're trying to get Scottie to eating.

00:39:01
Speaker 1: All the while Rue is just like in imagination worlds or one asked questions like let's do rosen thorn again, or she wants to talk the whole time, and like not eat her food, And then you just got a leverager with like all right, well you don't eat your dinner. You're not part of Clean Plate Club, You're not going to get a cookie. Then the tears start coming, Then the whining or the tears can potentially start coming. Hey sweetheart, you do not have to eat your food. I promise you. You do not have to eat. Just know, or she'll be like I'm tired. Just start trying to play the I'm tired game, like I'm too tired to eat. Okay, that's great, you're too tired. You don't have to eat. We'll just go upstairs and start getting ready for bed. Now I don't want to Well, you just said you were tired, because she's trying to get to where she can either finagle.

00:39:41
Speaker 2: How do I get to the cookie? Yes, at least resist.

00:39:44
Speaker 3: I just wish that I had Captain Price in my ear at all times from call of duty.

00:39:48
Speaker 2: Just stick to the mission. No cookie unless the flight's clean.

00:39:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, just the constant reminder of like, I'm doing the right thing. I am doing the right thing. Yeah, we will not stray from the mission.

00:40:00
Speaker 1: Then when Scotty's want mom, you just see the look on Mom's face. She's beating down mental all the stuff to where I'm like, I'll take Scotty. I hold Scotty. Scotty's just violently still screaming to where Mom has to take Scotty. Andrew every night, who's doing bedtime tonight? Just for me to hear the words, it's dads turn.

00:40:19
Speaker 3: Oh I crushed bedtime with you, bro.

00:40:30
Speaker 2: Just get that extra little kick in the nuts right before you go to bed, Mama, do bedtime tomorrow. Your mama does better. This how we do it every night, so we heart you shall do it. You know what, We'll just do the top of mama every night. How about that? I feel that dad hack in my loins.

00:40:47
Speaker 3: Bro. That is exactly the pancakes, the dresses, everything. Yeah, you gotta you gotta become some kind of little uh. I saw a clip on social media. These guys are at a bachelor party and Scotland. Yeah, and they stayed in the castle and they're all like super hungover this one morning, and the entire staff of the castle and they all have like the best Irish accents of all time, come up with like a roll in tray with the ham like sitting on there, and they're cutting the ham for them like in their room, and they're getting a little hair of the dog like mimosa or like some kind of bloody merry thing and they're just getting treated like royalty.

00:41:29
Speaker 5: Dude.

00:41:29
Speaker 3: Maybe that's what you gotta do for reu. You gotta be like a hotel tucking.

00:41:36
Speaker 2: I know.

00:41:36
Speaker 1: But then you get like I do enough to where it seems like you question yourself on spoiling them or keeping the keeping things at such a certain expectation that they're not ready for when adversity strikes. So if you go full royalty mode, I get it. She's only four. You got time, you got time. But oh bro in her tantrums right now, are no next level. We were over the weekend, like family came in town and we were in the pool all afternoon, and then it's time to do bathtime, you know, bath bathe clean him up, get him ready for bed. Yeah, and Lola, God bless her, that's grandma, that's Charles's mom. She's doing bath time. But you could just hear Scotty and Rue yelling back and forth. I can hear Rue, Scottie, you're not being very kind. You're not being very kind.

00:42:28
Speaker 2: And I'm like, let me go up there.

00:42:29
Speaker 1: We all go up there, and Rue it's like, all right, mom, just take Scotty, start giving going with her on bedtime because Scotty's being Zilla. Scott Zilla is being Zilla in the tub. She's got it, just a smile on her face. She's just she knows shes great chaos. Rue's beside herself, like, hey, take Scotty and go. Rue's coming to the coming to the realization that it's dad has turning to do bedtime.

00:42:53
Speaker 2: She hates it.

00:42:55
Speaker 1: She's yelling at Lola, Lola didn't watch my body. Los like I watched your body. I'm like, sweetheart, it seems like Lola w washed you. She didn't watch my body. Lola gets a rag, Okay, I'll start wash your body.

00:43:07
Speaker 2: She's like no, and just starts swinging, knocking the rag out of her hand.

00:43:10
Speaker 1: Loloah's catching straight and I'm like, sweet, Rue, hey, you gotta calm down. And then she just starts breaking down because I'm now I'm meeting I'm now matching the anger with.

00:43:19
Speaker 2: You're coming from me. And then I'm like, hey, Lolo, I can take care of this. Mom's in the other room, Mozilla.

00:43:26
Speaker 1: I go Rue, like, you can wash yourself or we can drain. And then she's just losing it. She's losing it in this tantrum way that's like her brain's not working. It's just screaming, its tears, it's yelling like anger.

00:43:37
Speaker 2: Noises like a.

00:43:40

Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah.

00:43:59
Speaker 1: So I'm like go in and like you know, pick her up and grab her like physically, like reminds me of the way my dad used to grab me to where later in the night, I'm sitting there feeling like an imposter, like I'm feeling like you can't lose it or you can't like lose yourself. And my lid flips too, And then I'm just angry trying to parent her because that's not solving anything, like I'm not, I'm not, I'm not. Her brain doesn't know how to compartmentalize and emotionally regulate and do things to get her calm, especially when she's out of ten. Now I'm reacting poorly. I'm grabbing her getting out of the tub, going and like sitting her, like standing her, sitting her like you know where, I'm like ripping her down, like stay in so i can dry her off. Yeah, And I'm mad at her while she's like crying and doing everything else and I'm losing myself. My wife comes in and helps save the day kind of like sit with her like, hey, go take a moment, but it was.

00:44:49
Speaker 2: Not good to where then I'm trying to calm down and come back in.

00:54:23
Speaker 1: I have a crack a coal one with Scotty go ahe Scotty's getting better with her words. Scotty's getting better than moral moral dialed in with routine. This is a crack of coal one. And also there's a dad loss in here.

00:54:37
Speaker 3: So I come home yesterday and right when.

00:54:41
Speaker 2: I walk in the door, Scotti is fired up. You're getting it.

00:54:43
Speaker 1: I'm getting into that spot, into that face where Scotty is now running to the door to greet Dad, Dad or walk in. Sitters right there and she's like Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad, and like runs over to me. And I reached down to give her a hug because U always embraced me with a big hug, so I reached down to embrace and give Scotty hug. Scotty's not at the I'm gonna hugg you range, yet this guy's at the day dead. I reach over to try to give her a hug. She hits a pivot, puts her foot in the ground, turns around and goes the other direction. She goes the other direction and goes over to the door, goes over to the front door. I come in the back door, embrace everybody. She starts be lining for the front door. She goes over the front door. Or shoes are lined up and she's like she's she she.

00:55:21
Speaker 2: She wants me to take off my shoes. She knows we don't wear shoes in the house. So no, hey, Dad missed, yah no, that comes over.

00:55:29
Speaker 1: She's got her arms out like she wants me to give her go down and give her a hug, and I guess her brain just tells her nope.

00:55:34
Speaker 3: The next thing is, you got to take off your hold on, hold on, dad, you gotta take your shoes. I go over, I take off my I'm seeing. I'm like, is she want me to take off my shoes? I think she just knows the deal. We got to take off our shoes when we come to now. So I take off my shoes, kick them over by the other shoes, and I look down at her and then she reaches.

00:55:47
Speaker 2: Up with hug.

00:55:48
Speaker 1: Hug, hug, pick her up, give her an awesome hug. And she's like, sack, sack, sack. That's her telling me she wants a snack. Dad, ass home. It's snack time. It's snack time. It goes over the doraw. I'm like, which snack you? She's like looking at me in the pantry. She said, bye, Bay, Bay for a bar. Get her one of these little you know, one of them eat bars.

00:56:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, get her a bar. Head to her.

00:56:09
Speaker 3: Here's where the dad loss comes in. But also she's dialed in on the routine right now. She goes over to the chair expecting TV time, So she goes gets the bar, goes over, crawls.

00:56:21
Speaker 1: Up on one of the chairs and like like sits back in the chair.

00:56:25
Speaker 2: I'll send you a video. I put it on my story. But she just visual it's like the old man. It's hilarious.

00:56:34
Speaker 3: And she's like like she's not like saying TV, but she'll just be pointing a TV or she she starts pointing at the remote. And that's where I'm like, I'm fired up that she's dialed in on this routine that's in her brain, like she's trained well. But also the expectation when dadad comes home because Charle on Mondays works later she doesn't get into like six fifteen, six thirty, and but I don't at the routine coming in, like when it's four point thirty and dad comes home that hey it's TV time, that you're just gonna watch TV when dead comes.

00:57:06
Speaker 2: I'm like, you're fired up.

00:57:07
Speaker 1: Because then Rue starts alluding to because Rue would always sy, Dad, can I watch TV. I'll go back and forth with her. Maybe she can maybe she can't. We'll ask her about the TV coupons that we have, or I'll try and time it up to where they can watch TV while I'm cooking and getting dinner ready before Mama comes home.

00:57:22
Speaker 2: Yeah. So I see Rue starting to allude to it a little bit.

00:57:25
Speaker 1: I'm like, Rue, hang on, hang on, hang on, because I'm trying to tell Scotty, Scotty, we don't just watch TV when dad Dad comes home. We're not gonna watch TV right now. You got your snack, we can hang out. Let's go find a toy. I can feel Rue start to ask about why can't we watch TV? So as I'm talking to Scotty, I stop Rue and I tell Rue. I'm like, hey, Rue, come herey, I'll tell you a secret.

00:57:43
Speaker 2: I just kind of tell.

00:57:44
Speaker 1: Rue the whole thing, like, Hey, what I'm doing right now is I'm trying to correct Scotty on not watching TV right now. I know you want to watch TV. And I'm like, look at me, because then she'll start her eyes will start going to where she can start start a little not a meltdown, but start crying and start whining.

00:58:01
Speaker 2: I'm like, hey, Sweetart, look at me.

00:58:02
Speaker 1: Look at me, we're gonna watch TV, but we can't do it right now because right now I need us to correct Scotty thinking that whenever Dad I walks in, she does her whole routine, go grabs a snack, and it's like, hey, it's TV time, and I need you to help me because when you when I come in and you're doing it, she mimics you, remember monkey Sea Monkey do? We talk about Monkey Sea Monkey do all the time. She sees you doing it and expecting it, She's gonna think she wants to do the same thing. So as I teach scot as I'm trying to teach Scotty that this is what we're not trying to do, It's gonna take some time, but I need you to help emulate it with me, to be patient, to tell Scotty we need to be patient, and to show her that, hey, let's play with the toy first and do some things so that way she's not expecting TV all the time. It took a little bit of work with Rue, but she understood and was like on board, like, hey, as I'm telling Rue Scotty, scott Zilla turns in the Zilla she starts ripping up Ruth's else a puzzle. While I'm telling Rue this stuff per taking in, throwing it on the ground perfect Rue didn't react. I'm like, I really want that to put together. Help you put together the puzzle back, and she's like yeah, because she's sad that she can't watch TV right now. So we started doing the puzzle, Scotty starts playing somewhere else. We correct in at that moment. Yesterday corrected the TV situation. But that was kind of my crack of cold one on being fired up about Scotty routine embracing me when I get home, and then the dad loss on the inside is like thinking, like, Okay, I'm creating too much of a routine of them expecting TV when dad ad comes home.

00:59:33
Speaker 3: That makes sense of like when you're solo, finding ways to be able to still knock things out around the house and also keep the kids entertained, no doubt, you gotta get creative to some extent. Thankfully, Scarlet's in a place where if I just put her on the floor in the kitchen because she's like crawling crawling.

00:59:52
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, that's like heaven for her.

00:59:57
Speaker 3: And she still likes her a little toy where she's closed off but if I just put her in the kitchen and she's just motoring around and dying, just like talking, moving, then I can do whatever I'm doing.

01:00:12
Speaker 1: For sure, for sure, just when they start to get the age of where they're understanding and bring stuff out, that is where then you catch yourself. Okay, I've utilized like in my own accountability, like checking myself type of reasoning because I can make up the reasons for because it is good for when I'm trying to get dinner ready or I'm trying to do something. They can blink out for thirty minutes and watch It's tumble Leaf right now. They love the show tumble Leaf on that tumble lief. But then when I actually think about it, I'm like, sometimes I'll just veg out and be on my phone, and so it's showing that I'm dead out, I'm coming home, I'm embracing everybody. Let's throw on TV. I'm sitting on the couch, I'm on my phone. What they're doing their screen time, I'm doing my screen time. And now that I'm picking up on Scotty doing some of these things or emulating some of these things, or thinking, oh it's TV time.

01:01:00
Speaker 2: When Dada comes home.

01:01:02
Speaker 1: So it's almost like the reality check for myself of like, Okay, I'm kind of manifesting the wrong things that I know is not like like if Charles's here, this is not how I would be operating.

01:01:12
Speaker 2: I need to be operating in a way that I.

01:01:14
Speaker 1: Know, like, hey, we got to develop the right regimen, the right thought that goes into it, like TV being a privilege, or hey, you want to use your coupon for this, and hey, if I say no, we gotta start figuring out how to process in our own mind. We got so many toys and puzzles and things that we can do around the house, dude, that you love to do. Let's get out of the TV model. Let's get out of that we have to watch TV.

01:01:35
Speaker 3: A little Dad hacked two for and again my kid's not there yet of like self awareness, wanting making decisions, but something for myself because I was catching myself.

01:01:49
Speaker 2: Doing that same thing a ton.

01:01:51
Speaker 3: When I get Scarlet home from daycare because of traffic, we're usually not home until like six ten to like six thirty window and she starts eating at six thirty and then it's bedtime routine.

01:02:04
Speaker 2: Blah blah, blah.

01:02:05
Speaker 3: So like, night's pretty much done once I pick her up, and I would one hundred percent I would just put her in the little playpen play with her.

01:02:14
Speaker 2: For like ten minutes, and I'm like, oh, my back's gone.

01:02:16
Speaker 3: Ted I was working, I'm gonna get on the couch and kick my feet up on the playpen and just be on my phone scrolling because she's having so much fun in the playpen. And I was like, dude, I got it because Jill read me some research thing where they were talking about like one of the main reasons that kids get so addictated screen time wise is from watching their parents, which I was like.

01:02:40
Speaker 2: Fuck, dude, yeah, man. Fuck.

01:02:43
Speaker 3: So I was like, Okay, I need to get way better at that because I am on my phone around Scarlet a ton and I do now that I look, I like see her looking at me, looking at the phone and being like, oh, he's paying a lot of attention to that.

01:02:58
Speaker 2: I'm like, damn, I gotta work on That's one thing.

01:03:00
Speaker 3: But the second thing, my actual hack is I just take Scarlet on a walk no matter what when I get home, weather permitting.

01:03:08
Speaker 2: And it's been a blast, dude. It kind of it hits that pt fit thing.

01:03:14
Speaker 3: It also is like really fun just to like be out there with her, talking with her, watching her interact and pointed stuff. And just more recently, I don't take the dogs anymore because I used to do the dogs and Scarlet at the same time.

01:03:29
Speaker 2: I was like, you know what, I'm gonna.

01:03:31
Speaker 3: Make this like a little bit holier of a moment of just me and Scarlet and I get to talk to her, pay attention to her because I can walk the dogs once she's down and Mama is back home. And then I kind of doubled down on the pt fit, which feels kind of nice too. So it's like I'm getting all my boxes checked by separating it, and everybody's getting taken care of, but I also get to like prioritize those things.

01:03:56
Speaker 2: Dude, amen, Bro, well that's good awareness too.

01:03:59
Speaker 1: Like this was months ago, but rou hit me one time when I was about to do story time for bedtime and I was on my phone while she was finishing something up. But she was like on the bed and I was finishing something on my phone and she's like, Dad.

01:04:10
Speaker 2: I hang out with me, and I'm like something like that, bro, God, And you know it too. It's like.

01:04:20
Speaker 1: It's like selfishly, you're like wanting to do your thing, or whether it's on the phone or whatever, screen time or whatever, whatever stuff that we're feeding ourselves that says it's like, hey, let's give them this to do so that way they're distracted doing their things, so that way I can be distracted and do my thing versus being present the moment. Like my wife is always very good about that and always talking to me about that, because you do.

01:04:40
Speaker 2: We do have to be aware of that shit, man. Yeah.

01:04:42
Speaker 1: And then when it's coming up in all these settings like the TV and everything else and seeing something on Instagram or researching something, it's like one of those moments of like reflection, like dude, I do fucking do that?

01:04:53
Speaker 3: Oh dude, I am like and that's me saying like I am so bad at that, dude, especially in those solo Saturdays.

01:05:01
Speaker 2: I like forced myself out of the house. I took Scarlet to Old Navy broke. Getting out of the house is such a game changer, such a game changer.

01:05:09
Speaker 3: Took her to Old Navy to go shopping and she ended up. I mean, she loved it, but like I just need anything to like just be out and about and moving and interacting with Scarlet because I can tell that it tickles her brain too, of like I'm getting interaction, yeah, getting.

01:05:27
Speaker 2: Exactly are you able to take her golfing? Dude?

01:05:30
Speaker 3: I am, I just need to. Here's the thing about golfing is there's a lot of courses. I found this out through Nashbaro and shout out. I love Nashboro Here in Nashville, that's kind of my home course. Public wise, and for liability reasons, they don't have infants on the course, and so I looked into it and a lot of golf courses are that way. And so a way around that is most horses like will let you walk with your child, But I need to find a course that's cool with having them in the cart. It's just like a big liability that they don't feel safe with. But I am very much wanting to get one of They make walking bags with the built in baby seat. Now, yeah, dude, so you can have a walking back for golf.

01:06:21
Speaker 2: With Oh damn, oh dude.

01:06:23
Speaker 3: I'm like, man getting up and it sounds so nice. Oh you know, Sherman's gonna do it. He's what best dad ever. He's gonna wake up at five forty five to get everything ready and make that seven o'clock tea time, and I'm gonna go walk the course with my daughter.

01:06:40
Speaker 2: Well, I'll believe it when.

01:06:41
Speaker 3: I see it, Like God, that sounds incredible.

01:06:44
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe there's some golf sickos and the comments that can give some suggestions.

01:06:49
Speaker 3: Put us on golf, Thank you, chef, put us on golf game, golf, ciccos is that time of year it is.

01:06:55
Speaker 2: Dude, it's been beautiful outside too.

01:06:58
Speaker 3: Very quickly, and then we can go into voicemails because I know we've been cutting voicemails short. Apologies for cutting voicemails short over the last couple episodes. Know what, this has not been in the comments. This is a self realization. Deeke is picking like five voicemails every single episode. Yeah, and we've only done like one or maybe two per episode, time permitting, And so I just want to apologize about that.

01:07:27
Speaker 2: Do we just want to dive into voicemails? We can do that.

01:07:30
Speaker 3: Cracker Colman was Scarlett's first picks, came in her school picks.

01:07:35
Speaker 5: It was incredible.

01:07:36
Speaker 3: You can throw one up right there, you can throw a second one. Up right there, and let's get into our how much did you guys just geek out of the first school? Oh will buddy, dude? When I dropped her off on that day too, and I got to see the team that was doing the professionals, dude, little stuff.

And the handler has like eight toys and she's like bouncing around and the baby's like looking at it, and the jinging. I'm like, oh man, these guys are good, dude, these guys are.

01:21:11
Speaker 2: I've been there.

01:21:13
Speaker 1: When I got picked up by the Washington Red Ridge, part of me was like, is it the state of Washington?

01:21:18
Speaker 2: Are we talking Washington?

01:21:19
Speaker 4: D C.

01:21:20
Speaker 1: And when Troe and I, like when we were talking going back and forth. I remember being in the hotel the night before game seeing if she's like in around and I'm like, are you in DC? She's like, yeah, I'm in DC. And I'm like, what side? What side are you on?

01:21:38
Speaker 2: She's like, what do you mean?

01:21:39
Speaker 1: Like, I'm like, are you on the Virginia Are you on the Virginia side or the Maryland side. I'm thinking it's like Kansas City, you got the Missouri side, you got the Kansas side.

01:21:50
Speaker 2: And she educates me very quickly, like laughing at me, Like, Washington d C. It's a district.

01:21:57
Speaker 1: There is no side. It's on the Maryland side or the Virginia side. Like it's a district. It's its own entity. Okay, So Tech nine is just wrong, Like Casey is just an entity. There's no MISSOI side, there's no Kansas.

01:22:08
Speaker 3: City is a city, Washington Dcity is a district of Columbia.

01:22:15
Speaker 2: It's a district. So we're out of the game.

01:22:17
Speaker 1: Separate now, city and district. District has the fucking the borders where there is no crossing. There is no one on the north side. I'm on the south there is no one on the Maryland side. I'm on the Virginia side.

01:22:29
Speaker 3: It's just the District of Columbia. Incorrect in Kansas City, am I Z? Yeah, you're either on the Missouri side or the Kansas side.

01:22:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you.

01:22:44
Speaker 3: I would if you were to text me and I was in the part of DC, the District of Columbia that is on the Virginia side, I'd be like, hey, will, in order for you to find me better and know where I'm at, I'm on the Virginia side.

01:23:01
Speaker 2: But I don't want to mince words. Have you ever heard someone say I'm in Washington, DC, Maryland? That's true? Counterpoint. I'm just saying you.

01:23:11
Speaker 5: Think you were going to Seattle.

01:23:13
Speaker 1: I didn't think I was going to Seattle, Okay, I just Washington when it was Washington Redskins, I'm like, Washington got it. The state of Washington like Tennessee Titans.

01:23:23
Speaker 7: Yeah, Tennessee looks like when Marshall Lynch got to New York and he's like, I can't wait to hang out with Jayson and Beyonce and then he was in Buffalo.

01:23:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, poor guy, because at that point, again, a small town Missouri boy close to city was truly sixty minutes away Saint Louis. Everything in between there very I hate saying.

01:23:41
Speaker 2: This word rural. That's a very rural. Oh I know, I just know how it comes out of my mouth.

01:23:48
Speaker 1: Rural. Very like, there's not a whole lot going on. So I'm bon terror Saint Francis County my entire life. My only next experience was Lincoln, Nebraska. Outside of Lincoln, Nebraska, cow's corn towns of like one hundred people.

01:24:03
Speaker 3: Well, there ain't much outside of Lincoln, Nebraska. And I mean, like the center of the world is Lincoln, Nebraska.

01:24:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm talking when it's you're doing your trips are getting out, it'd be like Lake at the Ozarks.

01:24:16
Speaker 2: Yeah. So I adn't seen a lot.

01:24:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, So whenever I'm going Washington Redskins, I'm thinking that's where the does that mean the state of Washington. Oh shit, it's completely on the other side of the mats DC called Washington d C. Like I knew what Washington d C was, just the Washington parts, just.

01:24:32
Speaker 2: The Washington part threw them off. I'm trying to look too.

01:24:37
Speaker 7: Yeah, so like you could just reply back with like, oh yeah, we're on the Virginia Maryland meeting like northn South.

01:24:42
Speaker 2: That's how she didn't have to make me feel dumb. She didn't have to do that. But she didn't have to do that.

01:24:46
Speaker 7: It's also a chance for her to take a lick at an NFL player. She was like, I'm gonna get this dumb ass.

01:24:53
Speaker 4: But she was right.

01:24:55
Speaker 2: She was right.

01:24:55
Speaker 1: But like, if you're sitting here looking at it, it's like there's a there's a river or something that separates Maryland and Virginia. I gotta figure out what this is.

01:25:08
Speaker 2: That I'm getting.

01:25:10
Speaker 3: And my boy, the Potomac, the Pototomac, and the Potomac separates.

01:25:15
Speaker 2: Ok, I'm gonna come to the Virginia and Maryland.

01:25:18
Speaker 4: I'm in the defense of Charo here because I feel like, if you're from d C, you're not even stipulating your whole life Virginior or Maryland side. So someone coming in, we might go, well, that would make a lot more sense. But anyone that's lived there because it's his own district, you're right, You're just You're just in d C.

01:25:34
Speaker 2: I'm zooming in now.

01:25:35
Speaker 3: On the other side of the river is Arlington, So I'm like okay, yeah, oh no, so it's not split by a river.

01:25:42
Speaker 2: I'm just exposing my charge. Okay, then I apologize to Chara. Oh it is.

01:25:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's nothing in there that it could could I still felt like at the time was a valid question.

01:25:59
Speaker 2: I'm going over notes.

01:26:00
Speaker 3: Do what do we get to if they get empty, if they motion empty, if they line up and empty, we get trips.

01:26:04
Speaker 1: A bunch on the ball or off the ball. We got a yo yo motion happening. That's what's going on in my head when I'm in the hotel the night before a game. Not out to say District of Columbia, it's its own entity. Are you on the Virginia side?

01:26:16
Speaker 2: Are you on the marryage? Are you in that little sliver that's in Virginia the DC.

01:26:22
Speaker 5: He sued me for.

01:26:23
Speaker 2: Ask Yeah. I got one final wash out the car seat voicemail. What's up?

01:26:31
Speaker 6: Boys, it's Christopher Ball When I'm six in the morning, just washing out my son's car seat. Threw up his breakfast yesterday all over the place, eggs all over the place. Can't get the smell out.

01:26:47
Speaker 2: Need some help, boys.

01:26:48
Speaker 6: I'm washing it down with baby whites, with baby white so baking soda. Trying to do a little YouTube work here. Figure, you guys are the guys to speak to man help you know what I'm saying this pod for a while now, just running.

01:27:28
Speaker 1: It's like taking into a car wash getting it detailed. I got this smell and then being a guy like he knows guys can sit in there. Guys can sit in there. Fucking laziness.

01:27:39
Speaker 2: Yeah.

01:27:40
Speaker 4: I mean, if it's carpet flouring, then you need to vacuum first and then it maybe take it to detailer because the best thing to do is get a steamer and like a steam extraction thing, so you you soak the carpet, agitate it, and then you get these little like extractors that suck out all the liquid and stuff, and that's how you get a lot of You can rent that for.

01:28:00
Speaker 2: Home depot or lows. You can get everything you need to detail your vehicle, like yeah, in Walmart.

01:28:08
Speaker 3: In Walmart, and a lot of if you're talking about this is Chris, Chris. If you're talking about the actual baby car seat too, like you're not talking about your car. A lot of those pieces are detachable on the car seat and are meant to be machine washed, Like you can throw it in your washer at home and wash it that way.

01:28:32
Speaker 2: That's a thing. Holy shit. Yeah, squirrel finds a nut.

01:28:38
Speaker 1: And as you're saying that, I'm remembering times where Charles taking stuff out and putting it in the washer. Yeah, and you're spot on. Yeah, I do see a couple of steps.

01:28:47
Speaker 2: It is a couple of steps. I only know that because Jill told me, sue me. Either way, we help, We help solve this guy's problem. Hopefully.

01:28:54
Speaker 3: If it is the car itself, yeah, get detailed, dude. But if it's the baby seat, and if you don't want to take it to a detailer, there are ways that you can get this stuff out. As the captain is Seeman Team six is explaining, Chef just gotta do a little bit of R and D.

01:29:09
Speaker 5: It's time for a new car. Just throw the whole car away.

01:29:11
Speaker 3: Some guys, yeah, some guys a time for a new car, find another beater out there and in that case called demon in that case, right, yeah, get you right?

01:29:22
Speaker 4: Um, I do not.

01:29:25
Speaker 3: I just realized I don't have a oh emails, Yeah, but I don't have a lesson in the week.

Speaker 2: By the way, here we go here, I have an email from Peyton forbe.

01:29:37
Speaker 1: Hey boys, my friends and I have been listening to the pop pretty religiously for the past six plus months out here in Utah, and it's become part of our weekly routine. Every new episode turns turns into a group text quoting lines, laughing at the same bits and give giving each other a hard time proud pt sicco's over here.

01:29:53

She's been in the nick you since she was born two weeks ago, dealing with some serious health challenges, and more and more questions seem to pile up as days go on. It's been heavy and emotional. Lots of unknowns in a long road ahead. We wanted to ask for a FTD shout out and some extra teas and peace to our boy Hunter, his wife, Kenzie, and of.

01:30:24
Speaker 2: Course baby Leah.

01:30:25

And uh, it sounds like Hunter and McKenzie keep their head down and our troopers and yeah, just take this second to know that you you guys are superheroes. Yeah, superheroes.

Speaker 3: Shout out Peyton, bro and they got matching hats. Dude, that's a squad, dude, That truly is what it's all about. I'm being so dead serious, dude. Yeah, having a group of guys rather you're an st six er, a goombray, a pt sixer, empty sixer, like having your group that just wants the best for each other and supports each other.

01:34:46
Speaker 2: Through thick or thin. Dude, God, dude, that gets me so stoked. Shout out this, dude.

01:34:55
Speaker 3: I'm jealous. I'll be dead as serious. I'm jealous. Y'all got a good thing going. Yeah, man, you got a group of boys. Yeah, like, hey, bro, this too shall pass and we're going to be here with you in it.

01:35:08
Speaker 2: Yeah. No handcock, No a handcock. He wrote us an email. He said, sub boys, my name is Noah.

01:35:17
Speaker 3: Petisico and double girl Dad for a two year old and a five month old newer listener of the pod, I'm ringling, Ringling's not a word will I'm ringing mostly to say thank you and tell you my dad win and fail. That came to a head the last several months. Seven or eight months ago, I got the offer, the big promotion I had been waiting for and working for for the last five years nearly that would put my family in a better financial situation, in open doors for a long term, prosperous career. However, it would place me three hours away from the new home my family just purchased to support our growing family good. I struggled with the decision, but my wife, being the supporting rock that she is, told me to take it.

01:36:06
Speaker 2: And that we would make things work.

01:36:08
Speaker 3: I started living three hours away from my family and my girls five days a week, home.

01:36:13
Speaker 2: Part of the weekend, and back out to work. I did this for months.

01:36:16
Speaker 3: I finally couldn't stand being away from my girls, and it became real that it was affecting my family in more ways than one.

01:36:23
Speaker 2: I made my decision.

01:36:24
Speaker 3: I left the job and that I had been dreaming of and took a retail management job just to be home. I had no regrets in doing so. I thought that would be the end of the feel good story for us. However, coming back into full time dad life again was tougher than I thought.

01:36:43
Speaker 2: I felt like I was learning my family again.

01:36:46
Speaker 3: I felt like a stranger in my own home, not knowing how to properly take care of my family, show appreciation for my wife and the sacrifices that she made, and support.

01:36:56
Speaker 2: And lead my household.

01:36:58
Speaker 3: Me being away for so long created some sort of divide in my relationship with my family.

01:37:05
Speaker 2: That is until I started listening to the pod. Listening to the show.

01:37:10
Speaker 3: Listening to the show has taught me how to appreciate the suck and how to be more intentional with my kids and my wife. I take care of the trash most days, in parentheses and other chores with intention, not just checking it off a checklist. And I've been intentional in supporting my wife and appreciating who she is as a person. All this has brought joy back in our relationship and the connection of our family. This pod has reignited my desire to be the best father and husband that I can be, and when I think I'm at the cusp of my potential, I can push further. Coming home was never enough like I thought it would be, but taking joy in the little things and embracing the suck and locking in for game time has closed that gap. Thank you boys for everything you do, and all my girls, thank you for bringing Dada back to superhero status. I still have a ways to go, and I'm trying to be better every day, but every day is a blessing.

01:38:03
Speaker 2: PS.

01:38:04
Speaker 3: I'm writing this at one am, trying to burp the little one that won't burp good as I have voluntarily been on night watch feeding since I've been home permanently, and I have no regrets in that decision either. Keep up the good fight for the dads out there. Ptsiko out Noah Hancock.

01:38:23
Speaker 2: That is an awesome email.

01:38:25
Speaker 3: That's a great email. Well done, Deeck Noah shout out you. It is not I appreciate him shouting us out, but the wonderful thing is something that my counselor would always say whenever I would go to counseling, I'd be like, dude, thank you so much for all the advice and blah blah blah. If my counselor would always say, it's you that did it.

01:38:46
Speaker 2: You did it, Like I'm just asking you questions.

01:38:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're applying the stuff to your life. I told you some steps to take, I told you.

01:38:56
Speaker 2: Some things that are good.

01:38:58
Speaker 3: You're the one that put it into action. Think yourself, like, acknowledge that you are taking these actions. And so I would say that to Noah, not as a deflection from us. I appreciate him saying like, hey, I started listening to the pod and da dah dah. But Noah, you made the conscious decision to lock in. That was you, Noah, and you have been doing these steps. You have been stepping up for your kiddos. You have been locking in for bed times and taking night watch and being happy about it. Like, Noah Hancock is a good dad because Noah Hancock decided to be a good dad and a dad that he could be proud of himself.

01:39:40
Speaker 2: So shout out Noah, shout out.

01:39:42
Speaker 3: You, dude, dude him n bro Will said, because we could say whatever on this show.

01:39:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, You're right, Like, when I get motivated or inspired by something, it's usually something I come across and then like I hold it close to me and always remember the people that have helped me along the way. And I feel like I owe appreciation to him because they help, whether they give me out of bad times or good times, whatever it is, build on good times. There's a part of you that's like you appreciate you came across whatever it was that you needed in that moment in time. And for him, it sounds like he's saying that listening to us onfore the Dad has helped him lock in because I can only imagine he feels like he's getting defined by this moment of being away or separated and he's getting reintroduced back into his family. It feels like there's the opinions are on him, whether at home, outside of home, whatever it is. But he just made a decision to decide that this is the man I want to be, this is who I want to be, this is how I want to do it, And it just comes down to action. It comes down to showing up. How you show up every day and building on and he said, like he's got.

01:40:38
Speaker 2: Ways to go.

01:40:38
Speaker 1: Do we all have a ways to go? We are very all of us are far from perfect. There are times where we've eluded and had tears and we feel like we are unworthy of some of these writings that we do get sometimes. Yes, and just know bro, that we are all going through stuff. Man, We're all going through shit. We're all failing at home, We're all doing stuff to where it helps to talk through it on this pod. It helps to have people in our lives, like me speaking personally, having you guys in my lives, having the dads and people and influences I do like in my life, my group that Hunter has with Peyton and his boys, yep. To just remind you who you are and what you envision of yourself. Yeah, it seems like that's you know, Look, if we help dude that again, we appreciate it. But Bro, you're the one doing the work and you're the one you're the one putting in the action because at the end of the day, we have no clue what you're going through at home.

01:41:35
Speaker 2: Man.

01:41:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it sounds like you took care of what you needed to at home with wifey and everything else getting reacclimated and now you feel like the superhero that you are at home. But you did that work, bro, So yes, hats off to you, man, and thank you for writing in. Yes, thank you for writing in. And no that is not to lessen you're like very kind words to us.

01:41:54
Speaker 3: I am so appreciative of those words, and like it makes this show that much cooler that we get right ins like that, but like.

01:42:07
Speaker 2: We're we're not making Yeah, you're a superhero.

01:42:12
Speaker 1: Good job. Yeah, man, doing a good job. Now, all right, let's pop the uh. Let's get to the lesson of the week. We were we had lessons of the week. Derek found an incredible one. What'd you say on Discord?

01:42:24
Speaker 7: On the Discord, We've been obviously in the new desk situation. I've been dumping into the discord a ton, So I'm pulling shirm over. We're putting selfies in there. It's a really solid group of fifty two guys.

01:42:33
Speaker 2: Right now, dudst. We got to show love to the discord. You said, it's at.

01:42:36
Speaker 5: Fifty two, fifty two guys in there right now.

01:42:38
Speaker 2: Let's go.

01:42:40
Speaker 7: This one comes in from b BAT one of four one day your child will sit across from someone and explain to them what it was like to be raised by you make it a story worth telling.

01:42:53
Speaker 2: I just got chills, man, God, I cry reading that.

01:42:56
Speaker 5: It's just beautiful.

01:42:57
Speaker 7: It's tough to like go into any situation because I think now, like my mom talks about stories of me, but this as a kid, and now he's this, and like you think about everyone, and it's not like perspectives from other people, but it's stories that you get to be a part of for people, and that's all life kind of is. And so I sit there and talk about my dad. Little did he know his actions would be stories I would tell later in life. But like him throwing the baseball is super high up in the backyard, so we would run around and catch it and I drop it because I was.

01:43:23
Speaker 5: Shit at baseball.

01:43:24
Speaker 2: Stuff like that.

01:43:25
Speaker 7: He was probably frustrated as hell. But those are the best memories on the planet. Just rips Yeah.

01:43:31
Speaker 4: Man.

01:43:32
Speaker 1: It also just gives you perspective too of how do you envision that story being told? And then it reminds you of the work that you need to do right now.

01:43:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it excites me. Looking at Scarlet, how old she is right now.

01:43:49
Speaker 3: Sorry, I was away from the mic and the innocence and everything of like I touched on last week, and just having that canvas to be able to work with is like really scary but really cool, really fun.

01:44:07
Speaker 1: It's I get that it feels really scary, but that that innocence that you were experiencing now and again, not trying to be the dad because we hate.

01:44:16
Speaker 2: That, we hate, but you never are.

01:44:19
Speaker 1: You never are, but knowing all the love that you're pouring in and intention that you are pouring into them now like we're being four years old, dude. The size of the hugs that she gives me in just the one off Random's dead, that I love you, and the conversations that that we're starting to have now and the kindness that she shows, Yeah, buddy, it is the greatest thing in the world.

01:44:43
Speaker 2: Scarlet, shameless plug here. Jill grabs Scarlet.

01:44:47
Speaker 3: This morning and put her in the big bed and put her in between us, and we were both leaned in and.

01:44:53
Speaker 2: We were both jokingly going.

01:44:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, alternating kiss and after like five or six of those, the biggest laugh came out of Scarlet and her passy came out of her mouth and Jill and I both did the exact same face of each other.

01:45:10
Speaker 2: We both shot up and went.

01:45:14
Speaker 3: And it's just like all those millions, millions of little moments like that, dude, where like all the little opportunities that you get to show your kids how much you love them. And it's not always gonna be some sweet little we're laying in bed and kissing each other. There's gonna be the bathtime tantrums. Absolutely, there's gonna be the kicks to the nuts. If I don't want dad ou to tuck me in. Maybe you did order the case of dia from Chili's. It's not gonna always be like that. Yeah, But dude, whenever you're in those moments, dude, cherish them. So badass, Dude, so bad ass. And SCARLET'SNNA. The scar score is gonna love you guys so much, and that makes it all worth it.
