We just know we wanted to have a show where we embrace fatherhood, the highs and lows, the best parts of parenthood, the chaos in parenthood, not shy away and try and be this perfect cookie cutter approach to what parenthood looks like. Talk about the things that we talk about as dads, whether we're in the garage and the house with our wives, whatever. It is a lot of these moments will be in the episode. A big shout out to you guys. Our favorite part of doing this show and having this brand is the community aspect, because again throughout the last six months, we've grown to learn that it's not only Papa Team six and dads that listen to the show. It's moms, wives, husbands, people in relationships, people that aren't even in a relationship, and they're just fired up for what fatherhood might look like one day. Just a combination of everybody, and it has been really cool to create this brand. And again all we ask is that if you are into listening to our show, is just simply subscribed to the channel. It helps us out a lot. We have a lot of cool things cooking for the year of twenty twenty six, partners coming on board, and again it's all because of the community that we've built, the Papa Team six community. Not to shout out one, but to also shout out one. Ali Pop will be will be joining the brand in twenties twenty six because of the videos, the comments and everything that we talk about on social media. So again, massive thank you to you guys.

And we know that every single birthing experience is different, every delivery experience is different. We've got to hear about Will's forty eight hour scenario, forty eight hour labor with sweet Charles in at four centimeters, and that texted me said, we're four cinemets right now. I truly I texted Will because we get Yeah, let's skip to that. I'll skip to that point. We we fall asleep. We both fell asleep the very first night, so we get in there. I was blessed with a recliner chair.

00:06:39
Speaker 3: I sent it to the boys in the I have a college group chat shout out Mike Evans. Don't know what that means, but I sent that picture of the recliner. I'm sure some of those dads in there. Fuck.

00:06:51
Speaker 1: It's almost like that's how you earn your stripes.

00:06:54
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, now that was the delivery room. I will say post delivery room, no recliner. The couch was terrible. But how long were you in this post delivery room? Oh? A full day into the night, and then another full day to about uh seven pm.

00:07:14
Speaker 1: So you slept on the couch.

00:07:15
Speaker 3: Slept on the couch. Are you lying to me? Not lying to you? Are you lying to me? I'm not lying to you.

00:07:21
Speaker 1: I can call Jill if I need you slept on the couch.

00:07:25
Speaker 3: She might tell you that I slept too much on the couch. Okay, all she might tell you I slept too much on the couch. But anytime we FaceTime, you look vibrant.

00:07:34
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.

00:07:34
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying.

00:07:36
Speaker 2: We had what did somebody? They said somebody on here. Yeah, Sean was like twelve hours is insaaning? You talking about how you slept twelve hours last week? My nine month old boy's teething right now and we woke up six times last night.

00:07:48
Speaker 3: It's all part of it. Hope everything goes well, Shirm. Hey.

00:07:51
Speaker 2: Let you know, Sean, it sounds like everything went very well for our boy, for our boys.

00:07:55
Speaker 3: Shirm doing great. You mentioned you got you got a Manny petty while you were in there. We had we have the Roku stick huge dad hack. We brought the Roku stick in there so we are extreame smart. It was incredible. We got Tommy Boy uh rolling on the TV Jill and never seen Tommy Boy. Shout out Tommy Boy. Nice. But Jill's overall note was I want to have fun and keep the mood light going into labor. That is my only assignment to you, Sherman is I want to keep it light. And I don't know if people that follow me on Twitter Instagram saw that college football hype video style, I put it to scrilla Oh, buddy.

00:08:34
Speaker 1: It was awesome. I loved watching it.

00:08:35
Speaker 3: Made that high video. I didn't show it to her right before delivery, as I'm sure people that we're reading it and this fucking.

00:08:43
Speaker 1: My question I have is, uh, was she the one filming you?

00:08:47
Speaker 3: She wanted to Yeah, she wanted to film me.

00:08:50
Speaker 1: Okay, so that shot.

00:08:51
Speaker 2: When you when you're sitting there in your headphones and going on like laughing to myself, thinking, are they hit the hostle right now? Jilly Bean, you mind you might just hit a little recording for me? Is I just kind of sit with my headphones on.

00:09:02
Speaker 3: There's four people in the waiting room watching it go down too, and they're probably looking at us like these fucking idiots they.

00:09:10
Speaker 1: Pay just a quick time out. Are you are people hearing this?

00:09:15
Speaker 3: I would assume they hear the rain, but not to the degree that would be like, it's pretty loud right now. It is? Right now? It is, But even with the AC that was like running in the back. Oh, it just got even louder.

00:09:28
Speaker 1: I know, I know.

00:09:31
Speaker 3: We might want to wait for it to die down just a little bit, or we can press on take five.

00:09:36
Speaker 1: We can take five, but we got to keep it under an hour.

00:09:39
Speaker 2: Fuck, all right, we're back. Sorry for the quick interruption. It was as as a dadou was say it was raining cats and dogs outside, it's raining cats and dogs, and say, you see I got some I got some rain on me right now. But we had to adapt, We had to improvise. We had to overcome as is parenting.

00:09:57
Speaker 3: Yes, welcome to for the dad's news s.

00:10:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we had to. We had to just get on the bus because it helps with the sound. Is the rain was getting so loud. I don't know if you guys were hearing it in your audio, but it gets so loud at Chirm's voice gets a little bit more faint.

00:10:10
Speaker 1: So we had to make a pivot. We had to make a call because we got to keep this under ant. We gotta keep it on. I got to keep it under an hour.

00:10:16
Speaker 3: I told Jill two thirty it's one forty three.

00:10:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll keep it.

00:10:19
Speaker 3: We'll keep it under an hour. And you know it.

00:10:22
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk hypotheticals, talk hypothetically.

00:10:26
Speaker 3: Uddie, I love you. I'm gonna make it to that.

00:10:28
Speaker 1: But if you're home at two thirty seven, that's fine. It's a dad loss, dad loss. Good for the show.

00:10:34
Speaker 3: Great for the show.

00:10:36
Speaker 2: Well, we had to make a change, so we're we're in a different studio right now. We're on the bus with the boys studio.

00:10:40
Speaker 1: I appreciate you doing.

00:10:41
Speaker 2: Make sure you subscribe, but sometimes you gotta you gotta adapt on the the environment, the elements get to you.

00:10:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got some elements.

00:10:48
Speaker 2: Sometimes you're gonna want to be at a pool thinking you're gonna be at the pool for about four hours and it's gonna cut short and go to two because someone's losing their mind.

00:10:54
Speaker 1: I'm talking to you.

00:10:55
Speaker 2: Rue, but uh, carry on with a on with your story. I kind of forgot where we were, but I did have a one of the odds, Oh you have?

00:11:06
Speaker 1: I had what are the odds? I like that, what are the odds? Shout out the shout out the partner fan duel in the background. But I had a what are the odds? What are the odds that Jill stayed at fort?

00:11:21
Speaker 3: Was that Mitch, it's Matt, Yeah, we're recording, Hey, shout out.

00:11:25
Speaker 1: Matt entered Matt, what are the odds.

00:11:28
Speaker 2: That Jill sat at four centimeters over under an hour? What are the odds that you had an incredibly smooth delivery, one that a lot of parents would be jealous.

00:11:46
Speaker 3: Of, one that people legitimately would get angry about, like when I facetimed you, uh, yesterday and you were checking in on the fam and yeah, how to go blah blah blah, Like a part of me. It hurt a part of me to tell you how our experience went.

00:12:02
Speaker 1: Because it was so good.

00:12:04
Speaker 3: It was just what everybody wants, which is what everybody if you have.

00:12:07
Speaker 2: An experience like I'm thinking like mine, like who knows how it's gonna go in there?

00:12:11
Speaker 1: Then you're out great. Everything was if anything, as.

00:12:14
Speaker 2: A dad, I don't want to tell Charle Housmouth it went yeah, because she's gonna.

00:12:19
Speaker 1: Be off, just kidding, she's gonna no, no, no.

00:12:22
Speaker 3: But truly, I mean for some of these moms and stuff, like they get there too late. They don't get there epidural.

00:12:27
Speaker 1: What everybody everybody hopes for. The delivery you're about to tell us about.

00:12:32
Speaker 3: Of course, and Jill, I mean absolutely kills it. My one of my favorite moments I'll never forget is we uh both fall sleep, Jill, though it's like sleeping in our intervals or like an hour thirty interval because nurse is coming in and checking her because they gave her the induction in the mouth, and I forget the name of that pill, but that's not the potosin. That's not the it's the one before potosin, pre potosin pill. So they give her pre potosent pill. It did, it didn't really do anything. So during the middle of the night while I'm snooze on recliner being dead of the year, they.

00:13:12
Speaker 1: I sweet, know, I just edited up this video. You did a great job in the past.

00:13:16
Speaker 3: I would just literally what I did.

00:13:18
Speaker 1: You got over there.

00:13:22
Speaker 3: I'm in the recliner doing this. I'm going like this here in the bed. I'm holding her hand like truly was so comfy, dude. It's kind of insane how well it was.

00:13:34
Speaker 1: This is you and the recliner.

00:13:35
Speaker 3: Yes, this is me and a recliner with Jill brought these like silk pillows and I have a barefoot Dreams blanket, like.

00:13:43
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what you hat like your survival kid was ready.

00:13:46
Speaker 3: To go because of Jilly be I mean, Jill was so freaking dial dude. And when we have more time, I want to do a full survival kit breakdown. To everybody because it looked like we're going on a two week vacation with the bags that we were bringing in worth we used every single thing we brought, and I swear to god we did because the luggage, it may look like that was all closed. It was really like a ton of gear burp cloths, diapers. Uh was it called a premie diaper? Because uh Scarlet was tiny five five pounds seven ounces when she came out five pounds seven ounces, She's smaller than a baby doll. And so we're having to use the premi uh dipe's and all this stuff. But we'll we'll do that another time, and like that could even be a great like if Jill wanted to do a call in or something.

00:14:40
Speaker 1: We need to have the wives on. Yeah, it's gonna happen.

00:14:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jill's survival kit was not so dude, and so like we really were set up for the absolute worst that, thank god, never happened. And so my favorite moment was waking up at like six am, and it was truly like the scene and Saving Private Ryan where he loses his hearing on the beach and that guy's and says, what do we do now? Sir? Jill's like over me. Netflix says, are you still watching blah blah blah like on the screen, and she's like, honey, I'm contracting, yeah, yeah, yeah, And I get out of the recliner. She's doing the so what unbeknownst to me in the middle of the night, that thing that they put in her mouth. They then did it in the downstairs later that night to see how that would go. Well, she went from two. She showed up two centimeters dilated and for the dad's at home, that's just the cervix, which is kind of the gate that the baby has to go through to enter into the opening where the baby's gonna come out. So she shows up at a two. That little thing that they inserted got her to a four. Nurse comes in checks her, she's at four centimeters. In my head, I go, oh, because we have a family friend that said at four centimeters as well for a long time, not as long as Charro, but a long time. So I hear four centimeters, I think of you, and I think of our family friend. I text you and I say, we're at four centimeters, And in my head it's like, we're at four centimeters. We're at four centimeters. I'm just like, oh no, that likes old trigger number. Oh please, please please. So then they hit her with the potosin. We go about three or four hours. All of a sudden, Jill is like, I really feel pressure, like Sherman, I feel pressure and it feels like I need to poop. And they say that if you feel like you need to poop, you're gonna have your baby. And so she tells nurse it's only been three hours since the potosin. So nurse is kind of like, we'll get the midwives in here in a little bit, we'll have them check you. And then she kind of stopped and she looked at Jill and she was like how much pressure? And Jill was like a lot of pressure. Well, she gets her flashlight out, goes underneath the hood, goes, we'll get the midwives. Midwives come in, go fully dilated. She went from four to ten in three hours. Oh my, four to ten centimeters in three hours. The white walkers were at the wall at the wall and this walcher on the wall was having to get in the zone. In that moment, it was like everything stops. And thankfully Jill had kind of like trained me and put me through the ringer to know what to expect.

00:17:26
Speaker 1: So why you have your coffee?

00:17:29
Speaker 3: No, didn't have coffee the entire time I was there. But the one thing that I forgot to say, dude is Jill was like, I want to feel some of the contractions before I get the epidural. But sherman, it's your job make sure that I get on that epidural. I don't want to miss it. Blah blah blah. When she was sitting at four and like contracting really hard, like before they came in to say she was at ten, She's like, I don't know sho I get on the epidural. I'm like in my head like Rocky to or Hockey for throwing the damn towel, Like, I'm sitting there going take the epidural right now. Why are we waiting? She's like, I want to finish my yogurt because I can't eat after I have epid I got the yogurt. I'm forced feeding your yogurt. I'm like, finish this freaking yogurt because you like, girl, you gotta get the epidural. We get the epidural. They come in, she's out of ten. We gotta start pushing. Right before we're about to push, they're like, hey, we don't have an or room open for Jill in case things go south, So we have to suspend pushing as long as we can Jill, until an our room, an operating room opens up in case things go south. In the meantime, would you want anesthesiologists to come in and give you another hit because it seems like you have a lot of discomfort. Jill is like, yes, that was the biggest blessing in disguise. They came in, dude and mainlined some stuff into Jill, and Jill gives me that look. After fifteen minutes of getting mainlined with whatever they put in that cocktail, she's like, I'm ready to push. I feel good, like I'm ready to go. And they came in. They tell her, hey, you're gonna do three pushes per round. It looks like this, dad, you're gonna hold feet. The other nurses gonna hold the other foot.

00:19:19
Speaker 1: You're holding feet, so you're south of the wall.

00:19:22
Speaker 3: I was a watcher on the wall I had. I was able to see south of the wall where the white walkers were coming, and I was or sorry, north of the wall where the white walkers are coming and south of the wall, so I was able to see both concentrating on Jill but also like interested in seeing what's going on down there, because midwife was like, Dad, if you want to look, baby's head is literally right there. That was before we even started pushing. It's because little Scarlett is so small, dude.

00:19:50
Speaker 1: She just positioned well, positioned well.

00:19:54
Speaker 3: She knew her role. She was like, I'm ready, We're doing this right now. I do. I've never been more proud of Jill. Jill was such a gangster dude, like such a stud. During the pushing, she did four rounds of three pushes, and each time, like on the third push, I'd be like, there's not a shot in hell. She's gonna give it what she did the first two. The third one would always be the strongest. Scarlet would move the most. On the third one, you would hear the midwives go, good, there it is, there it is. And I'm sitting there and I'm like, Jill's a beast, dude. She just covered in sweat and each time just taking the biggest breast and just bearing down. I was like, God, I'm so proud of her, Like she's freaking killing it, and then on the fourth round of pushes, Scarlet came out. On the third round, midwife looks at her right before we start the fourth round of pushes and looks at Jill and goes, hey, it's a really cool moment for moms that I can get her out very easily. I'm not worried. I'm gonna get her to her torso and you can reach down and physically pull her up if you want to do that. Are you interested in that? Jill? And Jill was like, yeah, I want to do that. She was like, okay, when I tell you you reach it out, you'll grab her and you just bring her to your chest. And on that third push they got Scarlet out to her torso. She was holding her umbilical cord like Batman doing his you know, little gun. She comes out like this and Jill just reached down there and grabs Scarlet and brought her to her chest.

00:21:24
Speaker 1: It was unreal, dude, that is incredible.

00:21:27
Speaker 3: I'm looking at my wife like, who are you? Like, that's so sick?

00:21:32
Speaker 1: Isn't it wild seeing your wife go through that?

00:21:35
Speaker 3: Yes? And I told her, like beforehand, I don't know because I don't know childbirth, but I'm like, if there's anybody that can do it, it's you. Like, she's such a pusher, she's such a grinder she like, Yeah, she just has that mentality, but she also has a lot of fearfulness and anxiety. Yeah, and beforehand, I was like, if anybody's got it, it's you. You're going to destroy this. And then to see her go out on the field and perform like you think she's going to make a coach proud, Make a coach proud, dude, and then that moment with Scarlet. Man, I can send you some picture, chef if you want to put it on the episode. Dude, I'm water works obviously, y'all saw me last week. Dude. It was amazing. Yeah.

00:22:19
Speaker 2: Man, listen, you just gotta have Jocko Willink in the back of your head when something's going wrong. Good, when you're feeling sleepy you only got two hours of sleep, Good, get my ass out of bed. When the baby's not going down and you're on duty.

00:22:35
Speaker 3: Good.

00:22:37
Speaker 2: You might think, Jill, she she took a little walk. Maybe she's going something to take care of herself, right, Yeah, and you think the kid's gonna go down. Okay, here's a three hour window that they get to sleep. Maybe I can close my eyes. They don't go to sleep. You don't get your nap.

00:22:48
Speaker 1: You gotta think good.

00:22:51
Speaker 3: I'm covered in shit.

00:22:52
Speaker 1: Yes, good, shit on me? More good.

00:23:20
Speaker 1: Good be softer, put the cream on afterwards.

00:23:24
Speaker 3: Dogs are pissed off because they're getting less attention, so they're starting to pee on Steff. So you finally pay attention to them.

00:23:30
Speaker 2: Good kid finally goes down. Dog wakes up. They're making a lot of loud noise. Wakes the baby up. You go to chase the dog to give it a little to give it a little discipline. Dog outruns you, runs outside, out the front door. Can't get the dog. You gotta go chase him on the road. You can't find him.

00:23:45
Speaker 3: Good good, you gotta embrace the sum is gonna happen.

00:23:51
Speaker 1: I know you got those dogs.

00:23:53

00:23:59
Speaker 2: I hope those dogs out run your ass too, and your piss off. I just and think of me. I'm ready, And don't you dare send the text in you can't show up before the dads, because I'm just gonna say, hey, oh is this what we prepared for?

Hey, how about just going off the brotherhood the fatherhood and you just get like you know, you know the hats how it says the lou and it's upside down. Yeah, we just get like fatherhood and it's upside down. And that's how you know you're like part of the fire.

00:25:01
Speaker 3: Okay. I like that one a lot. Papa Team six is strong.

00:25:07
Speaker 2: Papa Team six to where you can just refer to yourself like, oh, that's a Papa Seal. That's a Papa Seal. That's somebody who sent Seman Team six down there and got the job done. Now he's a Papa Seal and.

00:25:20
Speaker 3: His heart's black as hell.

00:25:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can tell he's been through some some military tours. And what I mean by military tours is he's been on some road trips. He's been on some vacations without any childcare. You can see it in his eyes. So just a couple of thoughts. Those are a couple thoughts.

00:25:37
Speaker 3: I love both of those. I love the fatherhood hat upside down. The Our merch team was on the phone with me last week and they were pitching some upside down stuff too, Like they're one to go heavy into it, so I think it's badass.

00:25:51
Speaker 2: Maybe we let the listeners aside, Maybe we let some comments decide. Oh yeah, if you have an opinion on whether we should call this this audience, this group of dads, his community, the fatherhood, or Papa Team.

00:26:04
Speaker 1: Six with it.

00:26:06
Speaker 3: I kind of like by Papa Team before.

00:26:09
Speaker 2: Coming into this. I loved I love the fatherhood. Hey, he's part of the fatherhood. There's like a hierarchy.

00:26:15
Speaker 3: We can you're you're a real sick. Yeah. Yeah, he's part of the father, But I don't know if he's Poppa Team six.

00:26:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Papa Team six because there's some play on stuff there with Papa Team six. Again, it's like, hey, that's a Papa Seal. How do you know he's a Papa Seal because he's sent in seeming Team six.

00:26:34
Speaker 3: You gotta you gotta check his stats. He came out man, Yeah, yeah, yeah. If he's going around telling people he's Popping Team six, he's probably not Poppa Team six. Yeah. Those are the guys that stick out there at the bar. Let us know in the comments. Sure, do you want to say what happened? I would love to say what happened? I owe an apology to Will Compton.

00:26:55
Speaker 2: And for people listening and watching A big deal did you go down? Like a huge deal, A deal where it's like I don't know how to react right now because we still have to record our show and we have to bring the juice and I have to bring the juice and we have to be optimistic. Yes, dude, because you're you're my mate, dude, Yeah, you're my.

00:27:19
Speaker 1: Teammate. In the squadron.

00:27:21
Speaker 3: I'm in the foxhol with you. You're in the foxhole with me, quite literally. And you said, and to.

00:27:26
Speaker 2: Be in the foxhole with somebody, Yep, you got to know that the guy you're in the foxhole with has your back, has every angle covered, if that's their role. And I I patch you on the back and you shit in my hand.

00:27:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe you patted me on the back a little too much, but I haven't.

00:27:49
Speaker 1: We did the.

00:27:49
Speaker 2: Performance reviews last week, I know, and that went well. We talked about details, and we talked about structure.

00:27:57
Speaker 3: And we talked about my weakest point, the fine details and having it written down, having it written down. But this was something that doesn't need to be written down. This is something that does not need to be written down. It's right up there with breathing in the production world, I would say, or drinking enough water.

00:28:17
Speaker 2: Papa Team six, Moms, Dads, Seeming Team six, Sea Team six need to know as they're listening to this, I'm very frustrated. Yeah, I need to talk about my feelings.

00:28:30
Speaker 3: It makes me angry.

00:28:32
Speaker 2: I think this is health fyel alone when you do behaviors like that.

00:28:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, tell them well, first off. Would love to create a safe space for Will to continue to get this off his chest, because I feel like that's the best way to deal with it, to dive right in. I forgot to hit the record button on both audio and video.

00:28:56
Speaker 2: We were recording for how long Chef Chef has a mic By the way, Chef who was the leader of Semen Team six at the moment, he has a mic now being able to chime in so you don't have to hear him from far away.

00:29:08
Speaker 1: We were going about forty five minutes, a great job of keeping it under an hour.

00:29:13
Speaker 3: We were just about to keep it under an hour. It was potentially maybe the first time ever we were on the lesson. The episode was almost done. Will was getting into his lesson and I look over at the audio and the video and I see no red light like I do now to where it's rolling.

00:29:33
Speaker 2: We recorded for forty five minutes, and it was so much fun and it was going so well, and sure him stands up and he's like grinning at Chef, like pointing down at the little what's that called zoom recording? Little zoom recorder. I look over a shoar, I'm like, what's up? And He's like, I didn't hit record, So I'm like, so we didn't get anything that we just forty five minutes nothing.

00:30:01
Speaker 3: Nothing chalked up to the wind. He's like, I'm so sorry.

00:30:07
Speaker 1: Well, Dad, I just.

00:30:12
Speaker 4: If I can add it was dead silent for maybe five minutes.

00:30:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, no one spoke.

00:30:17
Speaker 3: That's a long time around here too, because we got a lot of talkers, especially in this room because it's Friday right now, it's feats a Friday. Addys are supposed to be up watching all this ship that he's down in the shop. This is the safe space.

00:30:33
Speaker 2: This is this is the space that it's like, get to go have some fun, get to go.

00:30:38
Speaker 3: Have some fun with my boy, with your boy that light you down. I'm the one that's I get.

00:30:44
Speaker 2: We get, we play video games, but don't get to see all week you're you're you're a.

00:30:47
Speaker 1: Bright light in the shop.

00:30:50
Speaker 3: Yeah. And I just came in. I ship in your hand quite literally, and I'm stuck because I'm like, I have to accept this and over it as fast as possible because we still have to record for the dads.

00:31:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, sh'll have that fun. Yes, we said. We still have to tell people to subscribe. We still have to read reread all the Greek comments we loved in the comments section about Papa Team six because Papa Team six.

00:31:14
Speaker 3: Is growing and we gotta tell the same story again. But that's okay because they're they're really good stories and I would love to hear it again and just say shout out, this is not getting points from will you have recovered very well? You ten minutes ago is a different you right now? You were you've recovered? How hints? How do you feel on a scale of one to ten?

00:31:40
Speaker 2: I don't know, dude, you look like a feeling what way like we're talking like good mood?

00:31:49
Speaker 3: Well now just able to go because you look like a seven, like a high seven right now? Good? I believe it. Hey, he didn't hit record. Good the guy that you put a ton of trust in to make sure everything operates any family good? Good? Oh Hey, Papa Sherman who said he was gonna show up at eight thirty and get with Chef to go over details and structure and line out a process of the show so there's no mishaps. Shirm didn't show up at eight thirty. What's under the show up?

00:32:19
Speaker 1: I don't know what time he showed up.

00:32:20
Speaker 3: It was like nine to ten.

00:32:21
Speaker 1: Guess what, Your boy doesn't show up good.

00:32:25
Speaker 3: Instead, he sends you a picture of a raccoon in a cage on his.

00:32:29
Speaker 2: Roof, saying victory, good good. He's trying his weasel way out of why he wasn't. I texted Shurm back when he sent me that. I was like, great creative way of letting me know that you're not here at the shop by the time you said you'd be at the shop.

00:32:48
Speaker 3: True worst part of that is I didn't even know what time it was, to which I replied to your text. Fuck, yeah, vibes are up, man, Vibes are still up.

00:33:01
Speaker 1: Vibes are still up.

00:33:06
Speaker 3: God. Do you want to get into comments?

00:33:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's read some comments. There's a lot of dads.

00:33:12
Speaker 2: A lot of dads are out there wondering how to navigate. It's a slippery slope, especially when you get mid season. Your team starts catching some momentum, or they're bad, or you're in a bad mood because your team lost, yes, and they feel like the wife. He should be empathizing with where you're at mentally. You can't watch the kids. My boys just lost right now. How can you not see how much how serious I take this fantasy football drafts. That's one that sneaks up on me that I need to have to do a better job of.

00:33:37
Speaker 3: That's coming up, dude, Yeah, that's coming up. I think the number one, the god tier tip or dad hack, whatever you want to call it. Yeah, it's just the communication, pre communication communication, dude, sweetheart, we know you hate football season, and maybe she's like this is if your girl doesn't like football season. That's what I was gonna say, even.

00:34:05
Speaker 2: If they kind of like it, Like my wife's bought into football, but I always jabb her like she's not a real football fan, Like she went to Maryland, Like Maryland's not that good at football.

00:34:14
Speaker 3: I can see why she's to his little brother.

00:34:16
Speaker 1: She cheered at Washington.

00:34:17
Speaker 3: But I'm always like, hey, Washington on, why aren't we me and you just watching this game every snap, every player? You're not a real fan. And then you're like, brow, she knows it, you know, she always first, she knows the rules, she knows some.

00:34:27
Speaker 1: Players, blah blah blah. But I'm always jabbing her about it.

00:34:29
Speaker 3: So even if your wife is kind of on board with football, you know the difference between a die hard and then just a casual or they're not a fan at all.

00:34:37
Speaker 1: But even the casuals is for casuals.

00:34:39
Speaker 2: And even not a fan that get annoyed about football, you still want to anchor the emotion with sweetheart. We both know you hate football season. Then they no, No, I don't hate football season. Just please please let me finish.

00:34:57
Speaker 3: I want to talk with you now.

00:35:00
Speaker 2: Because we both know how much I love the Nebraska Cornhuskers and they are going to be some every Saturday. They're going to play at a slot of time. I don't know everyone, but each week when I figure out when they're playing, I would love to have my undivided attention beyond that game. Maybe you're a sicko and you want to watch a lot of the games. You have to do a good job of being like, here's what I would love my season to look like. Yep, I know that's not going to happen, and I would love your input on how we can execute to balance football season.

00:35:39
Speaker 3: With life. With what we're doing.

00:35:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, with what we're doing. Because I enjoy what I enjoy watching the game. I could watch them all day, all day if I had the opportunity to. But I know that I need to carry the load I need. I know that I need to be present, and I just want to figure out a great middle ground that we can align on as we go into the season. Because I got a draft coming up next week. I want to be there. I kind of want to tell them the time. I'm kind of scared to commit to a time with them because part of me scared to allow this draft to sneak up on us. And then I'm throwing the draft that you hey, the boys were drafted in an hour, and then we're both in a little bit of a tiff and I'm thinking, I can't I'm drafting right now. I want to knock it out of the way now. I want to knock it out of the way early.

00:36:26
Speaker 3: How can we align on a structure throughout the year, a structure that doesn't have to be so you know, dialed into the t I know there's going to be moving obstacles, yes, and moving targets throughout the year. We'll handle those.

00:36:39
Speaker 2: But as long as we're lying, as long as you know where my love in my heart is with you with the games, I think we can figure something out.

00:36:49
Speaker 3: Well then you just sold me. Yeah, Well, said, I think that's your baseline again. Yeah, you got to have a starting baseline, dude, because you can't commit to what you want your scheduled to be. Out of the gate, you're getting in some hot water. You're already waking, You're already awakening the defense inside of your wife.

00:37:09
Speaker 2: You want to set up your success by first anchoring the emotion of we both know you hate football, or we both know that you hate how much I love football. Give them a chance to step in and say that's not true, because it's a balance, right.

00:37:27
Speaker 3: It probably has a lot to do with your just trying to watch.

00:37:29
Speaker 2: All these games and you're not there's zero intention going on around the house, and you're waiting until the day of and then you guys are in a reactive state of emotion. No, you're handling it by having a little fun anchoring the top we both know you hate that I love football, and then you lay out how can we align on what this year can look like? Because here's what's important to me outside of you guys being priorready number one, my draft coming up with the boys, watching my favorite college football team on Saturdays, ye watching my favorite NFL team on Sunday Prime time, Prime Time. We got Thursday night football, we got Sunday night football, we got Monday night football. I know that sounds like a lot right now, sweetheart, But I know that if we just take it, if we just go one by one here and figure out what a solution can be, I know we can knock this out.

00:38:17
Speaker 3: Of the park and pick pick your golden game, pick that one game that you really want to see, whatever you want to watch. And for your example of like the Nebraska Cornhuskers are playing around the same time as Christie's gender reveal party, that you'll have to go to. You and Christy is Charles's best friend in the world, So set that expectation of I'm not gonna make that you think I'm joking. No, no, I don't think you're joking.

00:38:52
Speaker 1: Chow out through a birthday party for me.

00:38:53
Speaker 2: Last year was it was Illinois at Nebraska, but we lost in overtime. But chow out through a birthday party for me all my birthday to where we had a dinner.

00:39:01
Speaker 3: We had about eight people come to this dinner please, And I needed tooto.

00:39:06
Speaker 1: I'll send them the photo.

00:39:07
Speaker 2: And I needed the restaurant that you're going to that you're wanting to. I don't think it was a surprise, but the whatever restaurant it is, they better have a TV. And if we're going to do a private room, they better have a TV that can be in that room. Because I am watching the Nebraska Cornhuskers play on Friday night and the entire dinner party, everybody's having a great time, and I'm just glued to the TV, and I set the expectation with everybody, the guys, I'm not going to be mingling at dinner because I have to watch Nebraska play.

00:39:40
Speaker 3: They wield it up like on one of those like, uh, their teacher, No, I saw the picture.

00:39:47
Speaker 1: It was diicy for a minute.

00:39:48
Speaker 3: They wielded some TV and I'm likee, we're gonna be able to get the game on it. It looked like the ones back in school. Yeah, there's sub rolls in movie day. Yes, Fortunately we got it, but if not, I would have been just on my on my phone, just on YouTube TV.

00:40:05
Speaker 1: Dude. I brought up the tailgate and the tick thing.

00:40:08
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. There was an older boy who bullied hold On and I saw hold On.

00:40:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, Rue was part of the crew that he bullied, and I'll you know, the boy's lucky that I didn't see the part on Rue. I saw the part where he took the glasses off of like Rue's best friend. He was like going around and kind of like grabbing and shaking. There's like three of them shakes each one of them runs around.

00:40:45
Speaker 1: I just hear, hey.

00:40:45
Speaker 2: Stop, and I kind of like, I kind of like look down the hill. He runs over.

00:40:51
Speaker 3: Did I say the girl's name?

00:40:53
Speaker 2: No, you did not, Okay, If I did, make sure to bleep that out, yeah, and then goes back to the girl Rue's friend and I once I hear hey stop, and I kind of look back, and the boy runs by again and like grabs her glasses and she's like stop, and Ru's just kind of like standing there all shy. Kid ends up say stop, and I was like hey, And the kid ends up like running up the hill.

00:41:21
Speaker 3: I think he sells a glass. I'm like, hey, buddy, he didn't have the glass.

00:41:24
Speaker 2: He keeps running. The kids start crying a little bit, so I go over to them. You know, the parents were all over. We're like calming him down and everything else. What happened blah blah blah and dude, I'm just boiling as like, did that shit just happen? I'm thinking, this is why we're going to do Brazilian jiu jitsu. There's nothing that breaks your heart more than seeing bullying happen with the little kids, because you know, they're just kids. And this kid was old enough to know what he was doing. And at the kid, the boy at his age was old enough to know.

00:42:03
Speaker 1: What he was doing.

00:42:03
Speaker 3: We were talking like seven or eighth Yeah, oh.

00:42:06
Speaker 1: Wow, I think so.

00:42:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was old, he was taller, Yeah, he was older. And Ruth started like the other two kids they're crying. Rue's not crying yet, and I'm walking over and I look at Rue and I'm just like I just kind of like shake my head no, like don't you know, hey, it's okay. You don't need to start crying because the others are crying. I kind of like shake my head no, and.

00:42:30
Speaker 3: You okay.

00:42:32
Speaker 2: And as I do that, and she starts like, you know, winsing up, and she starts crying, and so I pick her up and everything. I didn't at that moment, I didn't know that he had shaken or bullied Roue. So I was kind of pissed for the other kid, the one that I saw the glasses come off of, and I'm quiet, I'm low key trying to figure out who the kid, Like, where the kid is he like runs up, he's like playing somewhere else, or like see who the parents might be. Not to go say nothing. There's just a there's a multitude of conversations going on in my head. Yeah, like what would I have done had that been rude? That I saw him do that too? Because you know, not that I would have done anything, but you're also thinking, like I don't know what I would do. Yeah, because I started to like go towards the kid as he's running away, when I was like, hey buddy, because I thought he still had the glasses, why don't you give her glasses back to her?

00:43:25
Speaker 3: Or like I again, I don't know. There's too many things that go on my head.

00:43:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, that fires you up as a parent in the moment, we end up believing because there's like a melt down and everything else. We've been here a while, Like let's get the kids home, Scottie, she's she's in her Uh, we can't like let her out because she's in like her she's in.

00:43:44
Speaker 3: Her shroller and there's a gravel and everything else that we're kind of on.

00:43:48
Speaker 2: We go home and we get a text that it happened again with the kid, and then something kind of goes down with the kid and the parent got awkward and weird and they kind of leave.

00:43:57
Speaker 1: But maybe the kid's going, maybe.

00:43:59
Speaker 2: The it's projecting, who knows, who knows, But anyway, a bully I got. I witnessed a bully moment that it was kind of part of and I did not know. It kind of had me not worked up, but it had me thinking about it like the rest of the evening.

00:44:15
Speaker 3: Those are truly like the two things that I think like guys almost fantasize about is either like a home intruder and what they would do, or if somebody was bullying their kid. Yeah, I'd love to see somebody come into my house.

00:44:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I love Sure, if the kids mean to you, that doesn't give you permission to be mean back to him and to where my line of thinking is like I'll go with that for now, but everything's a little circumstantial.

00:44:45
Speaker 3: I'm like, once Brazilian jiu jitsu and once we're in the a guy, Yeah, we don't know what's gonna happen, right, Like, yeah, if the.

00:44:53
Speaker 2: Kids mean to you, doesn't give you the right to be mean back. But we got to figure out a way to where you're not going to allow somebody to be mean to you. Yeah, And I don't know what that is. Again, I'm very new. I'm learning at this stuff. It's like it's one of those things where I'm very slow to speak because I don't have my thoughts in order and how I feel about it, or what should actually be done or how I should be teaching through those things, because I didn't really tell Rue a whole lot, just making sure she's like okay and everything else. But I'm sitting there like trying to figure out, yeah, like what if this does happen?

00:45:24
Speaker 3: What if I'm not there? What if this? What if that?

00:45:27
Speaker 2: How do I need to be coaching or teaching this or give her confidence to you know, be a certain way. But yeah, witnessed the first bully that.

00:45:39
Speaker 3: Gets me rawed up, that gets me rawed up.

00:45:43
Speaker 2: And fantasies of just sideline tackle drill on this kid, oh oh, just a great angle gronks running across the border of the woods that they were playing in just Boa.

00:45:57
Speaker 3: It truly envisioned you chasing down gronk to the sideline, beating them to the sideline.

00:46:03
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I'm like not even going to say I'm over here like pinching my my fingers and stuff and moving my hands around because I'm like, I know this is a murky waters to be to be speaking on.

00:46:14
Speaker 3: But who is the father? Hey, listen to my podcast. I can promise you that, oh this your boy.

00:46:25
Speaker 1: I just mocked on the sideline.

00:46:29
Speaker 3: Wait did say something?

00:46:32
Speaker 1: I become the bully?

00:46:34
Speaker 3: Just an awful example for the kids. I'm gonna have a little dude e through it too. Oh good deal. Daddy wants to come say something. Meet me in the ring, circle around children, turn on the headlights, pull the cars up. This is how you want to dial man.

00:47:01
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

00:47:02
Speaker 3: The dad just has no idea like what had happened. He's just one of those like Patagonia bests with like a coffee. Just chill, dude, Yeah.

00:47:11
Speaker 4: Yes, what's going on? Well, Susie finds out his son as being a little ship. Heead He's like the poor kid. You almost you're almost like, hey, you know, praying to God. The kid's gonna be alive. I don't know if you guys ever seen that, Like you had a buddy who rightfully so the parent's mad and they're going home and you're like shit.

00:47:28
Speaker 2: Like a lot of times too, it's like again with being a young boy, like with the kid. They're kids, and if I'm the parent were roused to bully, I would want to be told because I would be pissed at Rue.

00:47:41
Speaker 3: Will is definitely one of the dads that like if I was, you know, like a friend of Ru's and I'm like hanging out with them and stuff, like, I would be on extra good behavior because Will is the dad that's there, like I playing Little League or like being around other dads at that age, there were certain dads that you're like, oh, just scared of that just give off that vibe of like do not set off mister blah blah blah. Not because they were a psychlist said I'm gonna be a fun you are, but there will be respect. There will be dude. I'm just telling you, like, guys are gonna when they start coming to the age and like just knowing you and knowing your personality type, knowing maybe you played in the NFL for a little bit. They're gonna be like, don't don't mess around with willye c Yeah, that's a good thing.

00:48:28
Speaker 2: I feel like that's the that's my mom and me too. My mom she didn't play no ship, dude, she didn't play no ship. If we were acting up in school, we were known as like hyper kids. Uh, Cannon will Over is a little too hyper, but uh, my mom did not mess around. She wanted she wanted a real feedback for how her boys are being because if we were messing around in class, if we weren't, you know, progress reports, if we weren't dialed in like she wanted to know, not to blame it on anybody else other than that than the tanner ass at home and not necessarily come from my mom. That'd be the old man, but it'd be a verbal lash. Ye know.

00:49:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, because she didn't mess around, that's good. That's a good thing. Yeah, that's a good thing.

00:49:11
Speaker 2: Because part of me sitting there and I'm like, stuff, kid's fault's not the parent's fault. Maybe it could be the parent's fault because the kids like whatever he's doing. But I'm sure the parents would be upset their kid. Is it was doing X, Y and Z, so don't get mad at the parents. Like again, there's so many things going on in your head. That was going on in my head.

00:49:31
Speaker 3: So I had a I had a crazy packed weekend. It was really really good. Yeah you had you had Scarlet on by yourself on Saturday. Yeah, on Saturday, which is gonna be That's gonna be the new norm with Jill's work schedule. I'm gonna have solo Scarlet Saturdays. So it could just be a new thing on the show, which is nice.

00:50:31
Speaker 2: Whip it around and I'm like, oh shit, we're in the bleeds.

00:50:36
Speaker 1: The high up operate this way.

00:50:39
Speaker 3: I do. Like, I'm not trying to defend those seats like we bought them because they're cheap. But I love in hockey the Bleeds that are on the like you're behind the goal, you're behind the net. I love those seats because you can truly see the offense develop.

00:50:56
Speaker 1: So look, if you don't want to bang on the glass and be in the I.

00:51:00
Speaker 3: Mean, hey, you don't like those seats some glass, Yeah, I'll fully take you up on that.

00:51:09
Speaker 2: I'm just let just letting you know, just for future sake, what if you go to a ball game, Just think I wonder if the boys have any type of connection where we could get some seats.

00:51:17
Speaker 3: Hey, that's a that's the type of ticket that's going to keep you in somebody's pocket. Keep you in somebody's pocket. Uh, that's a that's Pete six fraternity right there. That is that is Yeah, I know that you would you know that was a joke to keep you in somebody's pocket. Yeah, I would not think that Will would do Yeah I know, okay, okay, but we were in the Bleeds. Dude, Scarlett just absolutely enjoyed the hockey game. We could pull up that video Will. I'm telling you the entire time, she's literally like this fired out, oh fully glued to the ice where I just had her in my lap like watching the game and I'm holding her arms and she did not cry once. It was impeccable. So I'm sure that you're sitting there wondering why does Sherman have this under his dad losses this whole.

00:52:14
Speaker 2: I didn't know we were all in the category of well, I'm just we you're wondering why I failed?

00:52:23
Speaker 3: How did Sherman screw this one up? Cooper Comstock and I want to get his thoughts on this for a social clip because I would love to hear him candidly when I'm not around, his thoughts on what happened. But he is a diehard Stars fan, like a true sicko. This whole thing was his idea. I was with him and his girlfriend shout out his girlfriend, Addie, She's incredible, was helping watch Scarlet. They came to the house early because they knew I had to feed Scarlett at one in the games. At two thirty, I pretty much had everything together, but I couldn't find her headphones. So then Coop's helping me on the changing table watching Scarlet. I'm digging through the headphones, like looking for him Jills at work. She finally tells me where they are, because she knows where they are. I didn't amy at the texter. Yeah, I texted me shy little te I hated that that right, there's a quick go. Yeah, that's a quick al get that. You never want to be the dad that's like, hey, where's this at? I do it all lie, but anytime I do it, it like pains me.

00:53:26
Speaker 1: I'm like fuck.

00:53:27
Speaker 3: And Coop's like, hey, you we don't need to rush. It's all good games at two thirty, it's all good. It's one fifteen. Like where you say, I know Cooper? I like, I don't want to miss discuss. That's a good teammate right there. That's a good teammate staying poised in the pocket. Great teammate. Tell me not to stress. ADDIE's like playing with the dogs. She's being so sweet with Scarlet. They both were really good with Scarlet being so sweet. We get out the door. We're driving. We got the Lullaby remakes playlists. I have to put you on. It's called Rockabye baby, have you heard it? It's just it's all stay on course. It's stay on course, down course, Rock a Bye Baby playlist is bumping. We're in the car, vibes are so high. We get to the parking garage. We're about to be ten minutes early for this game. I forgot the diaper bag. I forgot the diaper bag with the headphones, the blanket, the diapers, the bottle, the formula, the extra the extra change of clothes in case she shits herself. Everything that is vital to this day being successful, left it at the house. Get on stuff hub to then transfer the tickets to Kupinati so they don't have to live in my shame, in my own personal health that I've created for myself. Can't transfer the tickets. We gotta all walk in together and the you're a real piece of shit. Can I tell you the look of forgiveness on Coop's face. That's when I knew, like you really are a good friend.

00:55:15
Speaker 1: He was the entire time.

00:55:17
Speaker 3: You don't you don't even worry about it. It's all good. What the game goes into extra periods, Hey, free hockey. We'll get to watch three periods if it goes into ot This is this game could go into ot both these teams are good. Just sitting there trying to make me feel so good, I'm literally death gripping the steering wheel out of embarrassment. And then, of course, because we're in the car going there, back there, Now, Scarlet's getting fussy, so now you know the cries are starting to happen. I'm just like, now the cries are really they're touching you, ad I'm just spiraling in the driver's seat.

00:55:54
Speaker 2: This is where you just staring at the road and you hear nothing. The crying's happening, but the cry starts fading because like a dog whistle noise coming in your ear as you watch as you're looking.

00:56:04
Speaker 3: At the room. Truly, bro the amount of forgiveness that Coop showed me in that moment, how chilly was about everything. We still ended up we did make great time and we got there right at the end of the first period. So did we miss a period of hockey, yes, but we got to watch two more periods of hockey. The Stars ended up coming back with four minutes left in the third and one. It was a great time. Uh, but godly, dude, I have never felt like such a bum. I guess who's always gonna double check for the bag? Now always you I say that? Do you say good? So many times? And there there's some more on here. Dog ran away in the front yard. Good went to go get him. As I'm coming back carrying him, hold him going what are you doing? What are you doing? Stepped in his poop? Good?

00:57:00
Speaker 1: Good?

00:57:01
Speaker 3: Good threw those shoes away. Good because I was so pissed. I just threw him. Do you want to clean him? And porch Pirates stole my dinner on Uh what was that Sunday? When I text you? Good? Yeah, you did text me. You're like, hey, what was that number? Yeah, we've yeah, we'll keep it tight. Yeah, we'll keep it tight.

00:57:17
Speaker 2: But we'll keep it tight. We don't know the enemy, which enemies are out there listening?

00:57:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, but uh, and I know this is a a kid show. But just a huge fuck you to porch Pirates. Just wanted to say that. Just apparently he had his entire meal dropped off within a minute, three minutes of my meal being dropped off. Porch Pirates have to well, God gets simply safe, simply safe. Got to get it simply safe.

00:57:47
Speaker 2: Hey, that's a tough beat over the weekend, the forgetting the diaper bag, especially when you're rocking solo and you're like, I'm the guy, like, ain't nobody coming.

00:57:55
Speaker 3: To save me? Dylan Reillo goes down, it's this is this is TJ Latif And I could have come back to the office with that story just coming at me from all angles, like Coop could have come back and just told everybody about what a fucking botmom I was, and instead I have everybody coming up to me going, dude, Coop said, you were killing it.

00:58:15
Speaker 2: That's a good story right there, because you didn't just throw a pick six like you ran around the pocket a little bit and threw it across your body to the other side of the field like a muffin, and somebody jumped and pick it off and took to the house. Everybody's watching like it before. Before he picked it off, I hit him with the.

00:58:31
Speaker 3: To the sideline. I was letting him know, yeah, like, oh kids, kind of got it. That says a lot about the character of Cooper Comstock. Yes it does. There's another instance yesterday.

00:58:42
Speaker 4: I'm not going to name who it was, but this person backed out on an event with Coop.

00:58:48
Speaker 3: Coop wasn't going to say anything. Backed out on an event with Coop.

00:58:51
Speaker 4: Yeah, it wasn't his fault, but he and then he publicly told the office and all you hear Coop say is I wasn't going to say anything.

00:58:57
Speaker 5: I was just gonna let it, let it all out, because that's the guy is Goop's a foxhole guy. He is a foxhold guys. It's big ups to him too because he doesn't he's not a parent. He does have kids, so you could get a magnitude a range of reaction there.

00:59:11
Speaker 3: Yes, and is so good with kids, so good with Scarlet. I need to see what he's like with little scott Zilla. Oh dude, he would kill He loves babies and he's really good with them. He's like holding Scarlet as I would, dude. Coop was so on it. Hey, any St sixers at home, when you go hang out with your PT six friend that's got a kid, be a Cooper Comstock when I'm going to go change my little girl's diaper, which that went awesome? Like that was great. At the game, Hey Striman, what do you want to eat? What do you want to drink? We'll go get food for you. I come back with freshly changed Scarlet, he's got my food. He's like, hey, let me hold Scarlet while you eat.

00:59:56
Speaker 2: I'm like, that's a that's bro right there, Bro, that's an ST six.

01:00:01
Speaker 3: That's a that's an ST six. Or you can be proud of chef. It's life is starting to feel like this revolving door somewhat to me. Yeah, and not in a like bad way at all, but like I need to embrace just the grind. Yeah, I need to start to embrace it more. I know, we like jokingly say good on this podcast, which I can say that to like stepping in dog poop and stuff like that's funny, you know, But like truly those moments of like why the hell am I sitting there on a Saturday that morning, being like there's literally nothing that I want to do less than go to the Stars game, Like why do I feel like that? That just kind of bumps me out. I'm trying to like challenge myself to be like I gotta like roll with the punches.

01:00:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I gotta.

01:00:52
Speaker 3: Roll with the punch. I gotta go live life.

01:00:54
Speaker 6: Something that I know I've said to you and I probably said on the show, and it's something I have to like say in my head so many times, but like, and it is, it's such like a mental thing more but you have you don't have to you get to like, yeah.

01:01:05
Speaker 3: I'm always like, oh dude, I have to do all this stuff.

01:01:07
Speaker 6: When I get home, it's like no, no, no, Like I live in a house that I really love with a woman that I really love, and I get to do all these things and I have to say it so many times that I get out of this like, oh we got to we have to go on this hike. It sucks, but yeah, we get to go on this hike, And like, how cool is it that she's that close to her grandparents ruin Scott. That shift of mentality is huge. So that's yes, and nail on the head, that's where I need to be. That's truly where I need to be. I'm being dead serious, dude, because.

01:01:39
Speaker 3: This family right here, this day, this community, this family vibes right now. But I don't know how to.

01:01:48
Speaker 2: I don't know how to stop the rushing attack to the Christmas tree. Scotty's the same way Scotty damn near she did. She broke Ruth's first ornament. It's kind of cracked all over, so it's very sensitive. It will fall apart. We do have it back on the tree. It's hanging on for dear life right now, but if it goes down again, it's over with. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. Help me, help me.

01:02:13
Speaker 3: I don't know how to stop my child from grabbing the ornaments on the Christmas tree. I have this off, I have this off. How high can she reach? I mean shit, but she can probably reach.

01:02:29
Speaker 4: Like.

01:02:31
Speaker 2: And that's about three feet off the lower part of the tree, you know what I mean? Like, I know you can get the ornaments up higher. But she's still grabbing at this stuff on the tree. And you just gotta see Scottie, gentle, gentle, and you're kind of approaching them slowly.

01:02:46
Speaker 3: Go ahead, surem okay, really quicks off target has indestructible ornaments. Buy the baby its own tree that it can fuck up and put the in destructible ornaments on it and just let them have it.

01:03:05
Speaker 2: Now, hang on these indestructible ornaments. Can you still take them off the tree?

01:03:11
Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. What's wrong with that? Just ornaments all over the floor.

01:03:15
Speaker 1: That's okay. Still got to hang them back on the tree.

01:03:18
Speaker 3: Are trying to it's still good.

01:03:19
Speaker 2: That's what parents are trying to figure out here is when the baby gets close to the tree and they got a hold of an ornament, and you don't just want to snap, hey stop sometimes I'll do that, Scott Scotty, no, no no, And you almost you're approaching them like they're like they have a gun on them. Yeah, like Scotty, easy, gentle, and you slowly start walking towards them, gentle.

01:03:41
Speaker 1: They start smiling a little bit easy.

01:03:44
Speaker 3: She starts.

01:03:46
Speaker 2: And then you grab them and just remove them from the situation. And then you just hope you're sitting there playing your basketball in them guard them so they don't get to the tree. And I just kind of guide her. Go over there, go over there, Look at that over there, Go get the ball.

01:03:59
Speaker 3: And that's where the fake tree, the fake small tree comes in. Look at that little thing, go fuck that thing up.

01:04:05
Speaker 1: Okay, I see what you're saying to me.

01:04:08
Speaker 3: No matter what, they're still ripping off, Like if you get the indestructible ornaments, like yeah, it sucks with the that.

01:04:13
Speaker 1: Ruse ornaments broken.

01:04:14
Speaker 2: But no matter what, she's ripping off ornaments from the thing, Like, I still gotta I get on my hands and knees. You gotta put the little hook back in the thing, and then you put the ornament back on the tree.

01:04:22
Speaker 3: Well that's okay. So here's what I would do to explain it really quick. I would put a fence, like a dog type gate around real, real Christmas tree with breakable ornaments to distract child. Buy fifteen dollars tree that's only like two feet tall, put a bunch of indestructible ornaments on it, and then that's what they're fucking up all the time. Does that make sense? Yeah?

01:04:49
Speaker 2: I want to get a gait a cage of some sort.

01:04:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, and just put Scottie in it.

01:04:58
Speaker 2: Like every time she gets in involved in something, she's climbing up on rue stepstool. Now, Like I'll look over and I just hear your little head popping up from the island and I'm like, God, Scotty, how'd you get over there?

01:05:08
Speaker 3: I've told you you can't climb this. She gets around everything. She she clears out every cabinet that has stuff in it. Yeah, this is every day, and I tell your every time, sweetheart. This is why I want to get a cage for get a little play pin.

01:05:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, she needs to be like Uggah during the sec JPI chip game to where that's she's just sitting in a kennel.

01:05:28
Speaker 1: You can't come.

01:05:29
Speaker 3: Out, is Scott Zillo? She is Ugah? Yeah, Dane shev. I'm so sorry. Please? What was your thoughts on it?

01:05:39
Speaker 4: This might be a bad idea, okay, but as a kid, my parents under our tree we had in a little root off the Reindeer electronic train. It's a train that just goes around the tree. And maybe it's a little bit of a smoke and mirrors thing that they're seeing, like an actual moving train come around and she doesn't want to do They might because for me and my little brother that was never an issue. I don't know if it's because we would turn on the train and watch it go around the tree.

01:06:02
Speaker 3: You're probably just scared of the trains. No, I don't think so. I think you were a pussy. Your probably you know it was like I'm not gonna get rain over by the train.

01:06:12
Speaker 1: My number one shows was Thomas the Tank Engine.

01:06:15
Speaker 3: I think you're get you were scared.

01:06:17
Speaker 1: I think I think you.

01:06:19
Speaker 3: As a one year old you was a pussy Chef, Mama duck you in how many how many bedtime cases did you get? Chef, I come to you with a solution. Your teeth.

01:06:38
Speaker 1: Lama Lama Red Pajama was that favorite book, Chef.

01:06:43
Speaker 3: No, well, Chef, because if Scotty saw on the train, that train's getting sucked up. Okay, I was about to maybe it's the train.

01:06:55
Speaker 4: You buy the train knowing that train's going to be a sacrificial lamb, and then you all all the ornaments that are breakable. You don't want those stay above halfway up the tree line.

01:07:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, then I'll look over and Scott's will be at the top of the tree, turning down the star.

01:07:10
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, you might be a shot line.

01:07:12
Speaker 1: You look up there, Scotty's up there. What those thing
