00:06:30
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, there's a platform out there to let my fellow pt sichos. No, yeah, that we're in it right now, because traveling with a couple of kiddos is no joke. No, you are wheeling and dealing five six massive bags. Yeah, hoping the two year old, he said, two and seven hoping the two year olds riding on one bag, other ones in the stroller. Maybe you got a double shoulder. Hey, we taking the shroller all the way up. We checking it doesn't fit on the plane, do we got to check it before we go through security. Doesn't fit on the plane. We have a shoulder that does fit on the plane. So we'll get it going all the way up to uh to the gate. But you're making all these decisions, all right? Which bags are you?

Maybe if the maybe if the little waitress lady isn't looking, and I did, big dad loss. I didn't account for it for this episode we just started, so we just haven't had it.

00:07:27
Speaker 3: Man. I didn't do a roller bag this weekend on that wedding that we went to Houston, and that decision to go no roller bag led to a multiple multiple situations at the airport of what the fuck was I thinking? Bro? Though?

00:07:46
Speaker 2: Those one those are ones that you were kind of looking a little bit longer in the mirror at night.

00:07:50
Speaker 3: Oh, be cause it is. It's like, I'm assuming shoulder shoulder shrap, shoulder strap, but now I have Jill's shoulder strap that I go to put on my shoulder. It rips. I go, honey, your bag shoulder strap just ripped. And she said, well, don't hold it like that. Why did why do It's? You're probably holding it wrong, great boy.

00:08:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's oh, but that's it's probably your fault.

00:08:16
Speaker 3: And it probably was.

00:08:18
Speaker 2: You know what, sweetheart, I am holding it wrong. I did rip it on accent. I'll buy you a new one. I'll buy you a new one.

00:08:22
Speaker 3: It wasn't that the bag was overpacked or too heavier anything like that.

00:08:27
Speaker 2: And God forbid you drop that we'll get another one on them. It's not about I know we can, It's not about getting another one. It's about taking care of the one that we have. Yeah, type shit, type shit and hilarious. We ended up checking it because it ripped TSA. Behind the scenes, they go to pick it up because I slightly ripped it.

00:08:50
Speaker 3: That thing fully ripped off, and they ripped it off and just hooked it onto the bag for us. So when we got it out of the carousel, even TSA was like, come, I'm come on the bags of bos. Yeah, we're not even gonna leave it. No, the thing, I mean, it sucks. Leustn get a new one, get a new one, get a new again.

00:09:11
Speaker 2: They're not thinking, like dude, I don't even get me started on this topic. It's I went through you know that pair of personal sunglass to the ones that you have.

00:09:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, I also have.

00:09:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't find the ones that I currently have. That's my third pair. Oh no, yeah, so number one hand out Willie boy. Everybody knows I go. I have dad brain constantly. Yeah, brain damage up top. Played a lot of football like things happen. I'm forgetful. Sue me, sup, forgetful soon. But it's just like when the small things, like a material thing I can't find or I lose, or you damage, gets lost, whatever it is, and just in my brain, okay, compartmentalize it. Listen, did I lose it. I'm a big believer. Hey, it'll pop up, like, hey, it'll pop up somewhere. A lot of the times it pops up. Yeah, I look at Choro, I look at my wife.

00:10:00
Speaker 1: I sweeter.

00:10:01
Speaker 2: I told you they were gonna pop up. She misplaced her sunglasses like a week ago. I was like, oh, they'll probably pop up. Well, she's not stressed and looking for him everywhere. Hey, they're gonna pop up. They popped up. They popped up. She found I said, hey, as a guy who loses stuff or misplaces things, I just have experience and let's just be optimistic. And then if you don't find it, we'll get you another pair. We'll get you another pair. But it's to her point, it's never about like it's taking care of the initial one that you have. The first pair of Prisols was a gift from her.

00:10:31
Speaker 3: I was bummed. I loved the glasses, like, there's.

00:10:34
Speaker 2: No the connection I had the the optimism, the excitement, the connection, just the joy I had that. Like my wife got me a sick pair of sunglasses. I love them. I cared for them until I just couldn't yep, and I left them on a plane or I left them somewhere, and she was heartbroken. I was heartbroken that I lost. Nobody is a harder critic on themselves, on myself than with than old Willy.

00:10:59
Speaker 1: See.

00:11:00
Speaker 2: Already beat myself up about it, but I also have to remain strong, like, hey, we can find another way. We can get this material thing back in our lives, just getting another pair, another different Yes, sweetheart, you still gave me that first pair, but that doesn't mean like it's got to go to the grave with me. You got to release yourself from that that connection that you have to the material thing. Yes, where if it's all good for me, the gift was for me. I'm fired up about I'm bummed that they're gone. If you're seeing me, be like, okay, I'll just grab another pair and we can replace them if I'm good with it, Because again, the initial gift was for me.

00:11:35
Speaker 3: Wah yeah, and I'm just like, hey, this is no problem. We'll get another one. Then, you should just know it's all good. You don't have to lecture me about taking care of don't hey, you know the whole like rigamaru that you're putting me there about Oh, take care of nice things.

00:11:53
Speaker 2: Why don't you place them back right when you get home? Just take the extra two minutes to go to your spie.

00:11:58
Speaker 1: Sweetheart, you're.

00:12:01
Speaker 3: You are right about that, and I do. I try to think about those things. Yeah, but sometimes you just just fleeing through my brain. You gotta understand these men us men were kind of like dogs sometimes. Oh we just forget shit, We forget you. And honey, I love all your advice about how I need to care and like really want to take care of something. Let's do an exercise. I'm gonna I'm gonna really try and take care of those glasses. Let's see if they pop up. Oh, bought a new pair. Hide them on the sweetheart, I found them. Oh didn't pop up up? Another sneak on the side, get another pair, randomly find in the house. We thought they popped up. They popped up, and in your brain he would say, oh he found those glasses.

00:12:45
Speaker 2: I'm so happy, but you wouldn't know that's the fix. The actual strategy that went behind this.

00:12:50
Speaker 3: You just need you do not need to say a word when you lose something, and if it doesn't pop up for three months, depends on how how hard you look. If you're looking hard, hard for like the first few days, then you give yourself you look hard for a couple of days, then you give yourself a rest period, a good like two month rest period. Will you almost forget about him? Yeah? And then when you're yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, there you go. So however long that takes, you go hard for forty eight hours trying to find it, Yeah, then you're like, let me just relax. They'll pop up, they'll pop up.

00:13:27
Speaker 2: You go by that strategy to where you forget yup that there are even a thing in your life.

00:13:32
Speaker 3: Yep. And then when wife he's hey, did you ever find those?

00:13:35
Speaker 4: Well?

00:13:35
Speaker 3: Where put Oh honey, that outfit so cute? You go great with your parasol signed glasses. Oh you know what, I let me go. Oh, I left them at the office, you know what.

00:13:46
Speaker 2: I did find them, but they're still they're at the office there at the office. I just gotta go get them, you know what, I'll go get them on Monday. Monday, you sit your sweet ass down, you go buy a new bear, you come back home.

00:13:56
Speaker 3: I told you they'd pop up, honey. I told you they look brand new, because I think because I love you, sweetheart, we hold you go put a bow tie.

00:14:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, like fun.

00:14:14
Speaker 3: That's the dad hack.

00:14:15
Speaker 2: That's a good dad that's a good hack. We got chef team sixer chef.

00:14:20
Speaker 5: I just overheard your h yesterday, your story about losing the wallet at the office, and I thought maybe you could rehash having you and Rue looking around.

00:14:29
Speaker 3: So I lost my wallet over the weekend. It'll pop up. I didn't lose it. I didn't lose it, and I knew where it was. I just forgot it at the office and and it was moved.

00:14:40
Speaker 2: So you want to you want to Willie c dad experience. Yeah, Rue got to experience it. On Sunday, Rue and I did a breakfast state daddy daughter like we're going to take Rue. We ended up at Stay Golden. Oh nice, ended up at Stay Golden, great spot.

00:14:57
Speaker 3: You won me over?

00:14:59
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, you with me in Rover at Stake gold. I have a little coloring sheets, like it's just probably good.

00:15:04
Speaker 3: Fine.

00:15:05
Speaker 2: So morning started out, I'm thinking Okay, I got a box of stuff that I need to bring to the shop that I've been hoarding kind of in my truck or in the garage.

00:15:13
Speaker 3: My wife's like, you know, when are you going to take this stuff?

00:15:16
Speaker 2: I laid it all out. I laid all this stuff out next to your bed. Yeah, I got you. I need to get going with taking the box of the shop. You laid it out next to the bed.

00:15:25
Speaker 3: You didn't need to do that, but apparently you did because now I'm going to take them to the shop. Yeah.

00:15:30
Speaker 2: So we're about to go on this Daddy, daughter to eight, don't have my wallet, don't have my money clip a little wallet deal. But I'm thinking my head, I'm not going to say this out loud because it'll pop up. It'll pop up, and I know where they are. I'm not just going to add an extra step. I'm not going to add an extra conversation before we leave the house because I'm like, I left my wallet at the shop. It's gonna be like you misplaced things all the time.

00:15:53
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:15:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I get ruined the car, massive box and then Dad, I was the box of the car. We're going to go somewhere first before we go to breakfast. I think I'm gonna take her to Buttermilk Ranch down in twelve South. So we go over drive here to the office. Yeah, my daddy's gotta drop off a couple things. Can I go to the seat the bus with you? Can I do this with absolutely bumbuckler?

00:16:11
Speaker 1: Get her out? We walk in that side.

00:16:12
Speaker 3: You're a fun dad, fun dad. Let's have some fun with this, Okay, go in, Hey, ru hold the door open, dad, I'll take the box in. You'll help that out. And then we got to find my wallet. I in this at this part of the story. I know where my wallet is. It's sitting on the island.

00:16:26
Speaker 2: Right when you walk in to the right, right where you left it, right where I left it, right where I left it.

00:16:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, come in, kind of look around, don't see it.

00:16:34
Speaker 2: But I've forgotten things so much in my life, and I've misplaced things so much in my life to where now I'm questioning myself, Do I really.

00:16:43
Speaker 1: Know that I left it right here? Do you do? Dads out there?

00:16:46
Speaker 2: Do you guys feel me like when I'm saying this out loud or if you're looking at me on YouTube right now?

00:16:51
Speaker 3: Will and can I just rephrase that maybe for some other dads, please, cause there are some other dads where other people have moved those things, or maybe usually their wife has moved those things. It's not that they forgot. Yeah, I don't forget where I put my things. My wife just moves my thing. There was.

00:17:10
Speaker 2: I don't want to get off, I don't want to get sidetracked, So please please bring me back on after I just tell this quick keep going. Charle came after me one time about a charger. Turned out, I was right. She found her charger because she thought I took the charger because I've had a history of taking her charger and using it. She just thinks, what'd you do with my charger? I didn't do anything this time? You're going back and forth. Eventually she found the charger that night and was like, oh, I forgot that place in here. Oh you forgot.

00:17:39
Speaker 3: I just had to take several bullets to the head.

00:17:43
Speaker 2: Because again, when you start forgetting, when you have a history of misplacing and forgetting, you kind of can't trust yourself. Yep, when you feel very confident and it's no longer there. Yeah, So going into the situation back in the shop, I could have swore I put it on the island. But now that it's not there and I'm looking at all these different places, I'm like, what did I do with it?

00:18:07
Speaker 3: Where did it go? Oh?

00:18:08
Speaker 2: Well, fortunately for Christmas, my wife got me those little air tags. Yeah, so I pull out my phone, the little find my app. No way for these reasons, for my keys, yeah, wallet, like for all the little things that I could forget that.

00:18:22
Speaker 3: I'm like, put an air tag. I gotta get one of those.

00:18:25
Speaker 2: And so I bring it out. But the service is the signals not connecting. However, it's updating and to find my app saying like five minutes ago, eight minutes ago that it's in the vicinity of the shop. So now I'm going a little bit crazy. I'm like, let's go check the bus side. We come over here, we're looking on the for the dad set. We go on the bus. We're looking on the bus. I turn it into a game with rue because internally I'm thinking where is this thing at? Because you know how the logo can kind of move one point, it could be out in the middle of the street. Next it's like the shop. It's not like figuring out the signal exactly.

00:18:55
Speaker 3: I end up Rue and.

00:18:56
Speaker 2: I go back and forth from this side of the shop behind this wall, there's another side of the shop. You got to go outside through the doors. We go back and forth through both sides of the shop seven times, and then it gets so deep that I'm in the back alley. I'm looking out by the road because it's showing the little logo that it can be on the road, and I'm like, oh, did someone break in?

00:19:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, We're just like where is this at?

00:19:21
Speaker 2: I look in my truck again because my truck is parked in the in the area, and I'm thinking, could it just be in my truck? But Ru and I we're playing a detective game now trying to find it. We spend about forty five minutes here at the show Wow looking for the wallet because I'm thinking like, yeah, they probably do Apple Pay, but usually when you're sitting down at a restaurant, I always use my card, So I'm just thinking, you want to give them the card. I don't want to feel like a weirdo. And I'm like, hey, you guys got Apple Pay. I'll just you can come over to the table and I'll tap it.

00:19:45
Speaker 3: Some people do that. Listen, people I know I'm overthinking.

00:19:48
Speaker 2: I'm also thinking I just need to find the wallet because I can't go back and back. I don't know where my walls, So my wife, I can't just say I don't know.

00:19:54
Speaker 3: Where my walls. Will pop up.

00:19:55
Speaker 2: It'll pop up and eventually we're in the back air, like in a corner, back where your desk is. Okay, and uh, it picks up a week signal and then it says it's like thirteen feet away.

00:20:08
Speaker 3: So I'm like following the arrow.

00:20:10
Speaker 2: I'm walking around and it's like pointing at the wall to where it shows that it would be outside behind the wall. So again I go back outside and go around and I'm like, look on the ground. I'm like, how did this thing get outside? But then it's not picking up the signal when I'm outside, so me and I'm like, we got to run back, we got to run back. We go loving this. I'm sure Drew asked me where'd you put your wallet last sweetheart? That thought he put it right on the on the island. She points out a couple of things on the island. She's like, is it that?

00:20:40
Speaker 3: No, sweetheart, that's a good guess, that, ain't it. I like pick it up. It would be like a glasses case. Yeah yeah, yeah, something that you can like button their velcrow over.

00:20:48
Speaker 1: No, it's not that, it's not that.

00:20:49
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah.

00:20:50
Speaker 2: She's helping me. She's we're running back and forth. Well that when you're gonna find it, sweetheart, we're looking. You just got to keep rocking with dad. We're detectives right now. You got to start asking better questions. Oh, thinking where could this be? Could it be over here? Could it be under there? She's checking in between seat cushions with me.

00:21:05
Speaker 5: Mm.

00:21:06
Speaker 2: But we get to where you hear this faint noise where it finally connects to it again, and I hear it, and she's like, Dada, I think it's down here, like down on her level. So I like put the eight feet and I put it down toward the rue.

00:21:17
Speaker 3: Says it's three.

00:21:18
Speaker 2: Feet away, and then she's like, Dad, I think it could be in here and points at the file cabinet and I'm listening. You can hear the little beeping noise. Yeah, my sweetheart, you're right, it's in the file cabinet. I try unlocking it with the keys that were on top. It didn't work, which I was thankful for because I'm thinking, if the keys are just right here on top of the thing that's locked, like we're not the boys aren't doing a great job at keeping something safe. Yeah, and then I just thought my head, Ryan probably found it sitting on the island, and now it's in the file cabinet. We can't get in. She was a little like, we got to get it out. I'm like, sweetheart, it's all good. At least we know that it's safe and that it's here, and that no matter what Dadad knows that when we go home and you tell mom this story about me lose my wallet, she's gonna look at I mean, oh, dadd had lost his wallet. And I can look at her and be like, it's in the file cabinet, it's at it's at work.

00:22:05
Speaker 3: It's at work. It's safe.

00:22:06
Speaker 1: It's totally safe if those at home.

00:22:09

00:24:54
Speaker 3: Surean, before you give him too much credit, And we're growing as man, We're growing as a man. We're going to miss same week of the iPad incident, and so I just I just want to say out loud, we're growing as men before you say somebody moved it. Will You're okay, I need to do my job to call out and say this is the same week as the iPad. I love you, will well, I you know, do you want to tell him that one?

00:25:20
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking right now.

00:25:21
Speaker 2: My wife's listening to this and she's laughing and enjoying that, like all right, yeah, they're not all yes men around him.

00:25:27
Speaker 3: Well by the company. And here here's the only note that I was gonna give him. Okay, could he tighten the screws, certainly, But uh, I would love for your mindset to be where I am currently. I kind of live in this blissful world that, uh, Jill moved it. Joe, what Jill moved it? I didn't lose it. Jill just moved it. Yeah, it's kind of a it's a fun little place.

00:25:58
Speaker 2: Choices that we're talking about right now. Well, there's no cop out.

00:26:03
Speaker 3: The iPad's way different too.

00:26:05
Speaker 1: So did we talk about the iPad.

00:26:07
Speaker 3: We have been after the episode aired, So you had a fun time on X talking about it. We haven't talked about it here. Do you want to tell people? Yeah, because you know, there's a lot of beet sticos right now. They only rock Facebook. They don't rock all the apps.

00:26:20
Speaker 2: Uh, what the boys are referring to is I I broke my iPad and I left my iPad on my truck in the driveway.

00:26:30
Speaker 1: I was taking Rood of school. I buckled her in.

00:26:32
Speaker 2: We were having a great time doing kiss three squeezes, like playing a little game as I picked her up. As I pick her up, She's like, Daddy, can you look me up in the truck. And I'm like, Sweater, you can't climb up in the truck. You do it all the time. So I'm like, okay, you know Dad has got you. I take my iPad and set it on the tailgate right next to the back door, leaning down pick up route. We do our thing, and she like tells me to do somewhere. I like run around to the other side like that, and we got to go. The dinosaurs is gonna get us. Okay, so I'll close the door. Okay, okay, I close the door, I run around the front side, I get in the truck, I back out. I drive her to school. iPad falls off. iPad breaks in the middle of the road. I don't know all this went down until I get to the shop and realize I forgot my iPad. I left my iPad at home, so I hit up I hit up borrow.

00:27:17
Speaker 1: In any of the house. I'm like, hey, did I leave my iPad at the at home?

00:27:22
Speaker 3: And she calls me and she's like, hey, I don't see it anywhere, and I'm like, I had it in my hand.

00:27:28
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:27:28
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:27:29
Speaker 2: I was like I could have, like if it was if I didn't bring it in my truck. Because it's not in my truck, then surely I just left it on the island.

00:27:36
Speaker 3: It's all the island. Surely I just left it on the island. I don't see it.

00:27:39
Speaker 2: Anywhere, and I'm like, I'm trying to pull up my fine may but it's not connecting to my app. It's not connected to the app. Maybe it's out of range because it's like a Wi Fi iPad. And then I showed that it updated and it's shown it in the middle of the road. I was like, hey, can you can you look outside and see if it's outside like in the driveway. Now I'm scared. Now I'm thinking I drove off without it and it was sitting on my tailgate. It's all coming to life now in my head. And then she goes, I see something in the middle of the road. It seems like it could be okay, but it's on the yellow lines in the middle of the road.

00:28:10
Speaker 3: Let me go check.

00:28:11
Speaker 2: She sent me a couple of photos. Chef, you can put the photos up. Whole iPad was broken.

00:28:17
Speaker 3: Derek had a great suggestion for the nanny too on how you fix it.

00:28:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sitting with them.

00:28:23
Speaker 2: I'm sitting in the shop, back in the shop with the boys, and I'm kind of updating them that, Hey, I found my iPad. It's showing how shattered it is. And Derek's like, tell her to put in some rice and just plug it into charge and try to do a hard restart.

00:28:36
Speaker 3: Put in some rice and let's see if we can get it back to life. Will I tried to plug the charger in, but the charging hole is microscopic now because it's so pinched in. I don't know if I could. Yeah, you don't even put it in some rice? Did?

00:28:51
Speaker 1: Yeah?

00:28:51
Speaker 2: Tough beats. Look I hand up Sumi. I am the dad that is forgetful. I'm the dad who misplaces things. I don't have to be. Some people have their growth minded like Lillie boy, don't talk to yourself like that. Now you can say I'm a guy who takes care of things and just start talking to your stuff differently. I am you are up to this point, I've been a guy that misplaces stuff, I forget stuff. I'm the dead that comes in and there's a stain on my shirt and it's just like, I sweet, what do you want.

00:29:15
Speaker 3: Me to do?

00:29:16
Speaker 2: And who are you now? I'm now a guy who who's very responsible. Yeah, who takes care of his things.

00:29:23
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:29:24
Speaker 2: That tells other dads now that does that? Do have trouble? I just tell them, Hey, man, it only takes your thirty extra seconds.

00:29:31
Speaker 3: Do this? Yeah?

00:29:33
Speaker 2: Or bro, why you have so much? Why do you have such a problem like leaving stuff everywhere? Like, just make sure you put it back where you found it.

00:29:38
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:29:39
Speaker 2: If you're gonna take your sunglass off, put them in your backpack or you know, buy a new pair two months later once you remember.

00:29:46
Speaker 3: I like that. I like that?

00:29:49
Speaker 1: Yeah?

00:29:51
Speaker 3: What else? Man?

00:29:52
Speaker 2: We just kind of went on the Willie experience there and then went out to pop a team six. What's will like as a father? You just got a crash course morning on a Sunday.

00:29:59
Speaker 3: That was fair. It wasn't even noon when we got home. That was fabulous, well done and a lot of growth there, a lot of growth.

00:30:08
Speaker 1: Thanks man.

00:30:10
Speaker 3: Derek doesn't agree with you, Well, a lot of growth there in Dereck Trison. But the only reason I remembered it is because you said, you know, the apple tag can put it anywhere, it can put it in the middle of the street was a sentence you said when looking for your wallet. Ye, And I was like, what he's got experience in that category is the only so you triggered my respect. I would have totally forgotten. I'm so glad you brought that up when I got the When I.

00:30:34
Speaker 2: Got the new iPad, I'm thinking, do I just need to get a date iPad so that way, if I do lose in it it's out a range of Wi Fi and not connected, I'll still be able to find it.

00:30:42
Speaker 3: Is that what you did, that's the problem. I'm already preparing for the worst. That's what that's all Dad's do, though, dude, you're right, prepare for the worst, hope for the best. Yeah, that's good, that's good. You're right and that's what I didn't do at the airport. We were talking about the roller backs.

00:30:58
Speaker 2: That's honestly a that's a weird mistake by you, very that's a weird mistake for a bet sixer who has and when you got a pod, you have eight months experience now like you've been you've traveled with the family, like you understand what the operation looks like. Yep, that's the shit that you had going last week where the guys like, it's not task oriented. You have to take on the mental load in a different way, like do you need a roller back or do you need a straft back? Are you just waiting for mom to figure it out for you?

00:31:27
Speaker 3: And dude, I probably on this show when I went to Waco for that football game, when we traveled with Scarlett when she was only like what eight weeks old, I was bragging about my roller bag and how you need it. It's a dad hack blah blah blah. That's one where if I'm we're if we're watching ball and I'm.

00:31:46
Speaker 2: Coaching some tape and we're in the linebacker room, yeah, and you're not seeing the poler and I'm just staying to myself.

00:31:53
Speaker 3: That's unlike you. Yeah, you always see the poler. You always see the light hand. You're alert in the pooler before the play even starts. Uh. And for you to not see the puller, I would ask you what's going on? Yeah?

00:32:07
Speaker 1: Is everything all good? School good?

00:32:09
Speaker 3: Yeah?

00:32:09
Speaker 2: Relationships going well with the girlfriend, yeah, any drama with the family right now, because we need you on point when we play on Saturday. And who who is the guy that you were giving notes to?

00:32:20
Speaker 3: You? And that tweet that I put out, which which the tweet where I was like, I fucking love seeing Willie see you on the sideline talking to this player, because I've gotten that same talk from will Yeah, I was giving notes to somebody, I think in that thing in in the comment section, no, no, in the in the video, yeah, Sue Craven's see. I love. The one thing that you always do is you you find something that like that person's been championing or championing for the last like couple of weeks in the office. And let's say I'm a big wheel, uh suitcase guy. You'll give me the notes of like you're falling short, blah blah blah, and then you do this like two finger point to somebody you go because you're a you're a big wheel suitcase guy, always talking about the wheel suitcase. But I don't see it. Like I love how you find something that they're like really passionate about it. It's like you talk this way, why aren't you walking it? Yeah, yeah, I don't see it. I needed that at the airport, and I'll attribute it to Jill got me this really sick gift that it's like a she got on the TikTok shop. I'm pretty sure. But it's a suitcase that's like a what are the things that you put your suits in those fabric covers for like your suits to travel with you out like a suit cover? Yes, called suit cover suit cover And it's a suite cover that then zips into a duffle bag that you can pack stuff in, so it's all in one. And I think that I just got like really really excited I did about traveling with that for the first time, which it was epic to have that, and it's carry on size. Yeah, but I was like, now that I have everything in this one thing, I don't even need my roller bag. Dude, you want a dad hack, bring the fucking roller bag, bring it. Repeat that hack, repeat that hack. You need the roller bag, Go ahead, tell me, tell me a reason why we don't need the roller bag. Just anything like.

00:34:29
Speaker 2: The reason why we don't need the roller back and just tell me like, oh, you know, because the reason you don't need the roller bag is if you're trying to get in the doghouse, you need the roller bag.

00:34:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, that would be ding ding ding, That would be right. Oh oh you were saying, you saying, hey, you don't want to use the roller bag, a reason to not use the roller bag in the doghouse, ding ding ding ding ding. I was thinking more like, oh, roller bags aren't manly. You don't want to bring a.

00:34:53
Speaker 1: Roller bag for the reason being you want to be a piece of shit.

00:34:56
Speaker 3: Father, And you know too, there's Dad had there's some great videos out there on fooling your suits in a suitcase.

00:35:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, that one, that one tickled you.

00:35:07
Speaker 3: Take a right now. You need to just when you see it Dad in the airport without a rollerbag, just make sure to tell him you fucking piece of shit, you piece of shit. He's got a kiddo with them, little hey, what a piece of shoot you at? I bet she changes all the diapers too. Bless your heart, sweetie, you put up with that go lee unless they're old enough and you can rock carry ons. Yeah, she got her own little backpack. Yeah, yeah, you know what I mean. Yes, surem.

00:35:34
Speaker 5: Did you at least do the classic take the uh the woman's bag at home and make sure it's under fifty pounds kind of by just judging.

00:35:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, like, that's a classic. That's a classic dad move. That's a that's a dad's take pride.

00:35:50
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and grabbing that roller bag, lifting it up and be like, I think you're gonna be good.

00:35:57
Speaker 3: Well, and a very sweet lady working the ticket aisle. We were at fifty like point two, been there and she was like, technically you're over, but we had a little scarlet right here. Technically you're over, and they will say something when you're flying back. I'm not going to say anything about it, sweetie, hagging bag, y'all. Just make sure you move, you know, one or two things into into dad's bag. I like doing the move where it's a pound over.

00:36:26
Speaker 2: Charl gets the suitcase down, undoes the suitcase and while she's down there trying to maneuver between suitcases, trying to balance the weight while everybody else is waiting light. Now we're holding up everybody else. I like just standing there with the kiddo saying, I told you so.

00:36:42
Speaker 3: I love doing that. I tried telling you, is it all in the bras? Honey? Did you pack too many bra Hers will be like fifty two and mine will be like thirty four. Maybe I told you. Maybe it's that eighth pam high heels in the I like trying to guess which item is gonna be the one we pull out. That one's like one point three pounds. You can take that out and put that over and then we'll be good for it.

00:37:08
Speaker 2: And then you just start commentating and just looking at their bag for the first time, like you know, we're just going to dinner.

00:37:15
Speaker 3: You could you could wear that hoodie right now, and we're just gonna be outside.

Yeah, for the dad's man, for the dad's weird, for the dads. Do you want to jump into some follow ups from last week? Let's hit a couple of comments. Let's hit a couple comments.

00:38:49
Speaker 2: I got one right here from Jonathan Vella on Spotify. I'm no scientists but if kids mouths are fifty percent the size of an adults, they only got a brush for fifty percent of the time.

00:38:58
Speaker 3: One minute it is, and well I do one minute? Yeah, so thirty seconds. Yeah, yeah, that's perfect.

00:39:04
Speaker 2: Clump sent me a funny button. He told me about this from the episode last week. We were talking about brushing the kiddo's teeth and how Rue favors her dad brushing her teeth because dadad does it faster, and then Mama catches me and doing it for like.

00:39:18
Speaker 1: Twelve fifteen seconds at a time.

00:39:19
Speaker 2: Did she sue or why she doesn't sue? She does a sue? Okay, good, you know it's just for a blashing. So where we go to bed alone at night?

00:39:30
Speaker 3: Uh, joking, joking.

00:39:31
Speaker 2: When he sent me this button, Clump sent me this button that he's like, Lens wanted me to send you this Clump's wife And it's like this button that you press and then it'll it'll blink and go ding ding ding, like when the timer's up for brushing teeth, Like, oh yeah, let me get one of those. Oh that's let me let me systematize brushing teeth now, yeah, that's gonna be great. Let's put another added layer to dad today. Yeah, let's let's do another step of trying to get root out for bed.

00:39:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, just another constant reminder is something kind of bad as Yeah, that's perfect. I do have a ride in from I believe Green Bay Packers running back. Josh Jacobs, Yeah, Josh jah. Josh Jacobs on Spotify, he wrote in Josh Jacobs said, mock the girl, dad hat. Don't be shocked when the nine iron comes out at you like Tiger's ex wife and your ass is swimming in the pool in the pond. Yeah, thanks Josh Jacobs. Josh Jacobs, that's sick. I can't believe he listens to the show.

00:40:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, he must have put that. He must have dropped that comment when the episode came out. Yeah, then you see what happened over the weekend with.

00:40:33
Speaker 3: Tiger and they're like, oh, hoddy buddy, this comment's gonna hit like crack. Josh Rob Rob W seventy eight on YouTube also said sure, I'm also dealing with a see issues right now. Good good, the same issues you are. Good thing. I'm in Ohio. So it was seventy degrees one day ac motorstopped working then thirty degrees the next day. That's ideal for the heat going out. Ordered a new motor came in yesterday. The fan was literally rusted permanently to the old motor shaft. Good. Good. That means a full replacement. He'll probably say that ordered a fan and it should arrive tomorrow, just in time for attempts to rise back to the upper seventies. You'll learn once you purchase your house most things are easier to fix than you think, and there are a ton of resources on the internet. Rob w seventy eight quick note from him essentially to break down all the acns that he just spoke. If you have an AC unit and you are a believer in YouTube University, those parts are doable to fix yourself, which is what Michael that AC repair guide was essentially telling me. Hey, once you own your own house and this is your unit, there's really only like four to five parts that you need to learn, and like four to five little what's it called symptoms that you need to learn to be able to diagnose what's wrong with your AC unit and then you're not having to pay somebody else to fix it.

00:42:09
Speaker 1: That is the game YouTube University.

00:42:11
Speaker 2: The game It's like when something's broken, it's gotten to the point that as a dad, you are now in the process of do I make the decision to jump on YouTube and figure this out?

00:42:23
Speaker 3: Because I know I know that I can. Yeah, you did it with your God, my brain's not working today, generator generator, Yes, your gunner the GAINNERAC five thousand. Yeah, yeah, I called my uncle up watch some YouTube videos and yeah, I kind of had to because the ice storm was coming and nobody was gonna be working on the weekend. It kind of popped up, Yeah, kind of like thrusting me to like, hey, buddy, you better figure this out. Yeah, before the ice storm fully hits and you war without power. But yeah, that's such a good point because you can figure all this shit out. It's just like you're sitting there on the couch, beautiful day of the game's on, like don't want to let you don't call somebody And to the dad that's saying next to his wife right now hearing me say that, and it's gone if you dude. But there are days being like they're on it. Oh, there are some dads.

00:43:15
Speaker 1: Like all these all these pieces of shit dads out there.

00:43:17
Speaker 3: They can't fix their own stuff, like it ain't that hard. Ain't that hard? And I just went all to say, I'm one of those pieces of shit dads. I have YouTube university, but I need to do more of it. Yeah, because it is like that's a real.

00:43:32
Speaker 2: Dad's knowing how simple it can be. That's where they in their mind think like should I just start my own business. Yeah, there's enough people out there that need help with their acus because they just don't want to take the time to learn about it.

00:43:43
Speaker 3: But it's quite simple. We do just a very quick note and I know we're we're kind of flying through. We're under an hour.

00:43:50
Speaker 1: This is good vibe, this is good vie. We're keeping it under an hour.

00:43:53
Speaker 3: Today we received some gifts from John Malecki, who is a YouTube creator, a pod caster, a former Pittsburgh Steeler, a former Pittsburgh Panther. There's a pit guy. Derek has some connections with some of his team. We were thinking of ways to get involved with them, and one way that we've just kind of put into the ether this is an official is they have some like building kits for cornhole, like you know, building kit to build your own cornhole set, and they're thinking about sending one of those to you and me and having us build it, and you got to build it from scratch with the tools. I'm gonna be there with you. We're doing it together. We're a team, dude.

00:44:44
Speaker 1: I know you want me to build a corn hoole set from the round up.

00:44:48
Speaker 3: I got to do it too. I'm not I'm no woodworking. You're kind of a handy man. Like I said on YouTube, University, you're much quicker.

00:44:57
Speaker 1: To get on the ladder than old Willie wants you.

00:44:59
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:44:59
Speaker 3: Yeah, but like the meme of THEU you son of a bitch and then we go like that, we're that's gonna be us, dude. Okay, we'll be there together. I mean, shout out, shout out, John Malecki.

But I'll say it cleared out the garage yesterday, got Rue sweeping brooming with me, sweeping out the leaves, getting everything cleaned up. She was operating, Scotty was just getting into everything else.

00:47:22
Speaker 1: Scotty, no, no, no, get off that.

00:47:25
Speaker 3: She's grabbing the forty pounds dumbbells already and just.

00:47:27
Speaker 2: Trying to climb on everything. Bro Scotti is just I call her a menace, but she's a minace.

00:47:33
Speaker 3: Bro. Yeah, and she's cleany right now.

00:47:35
Speaker 2: I'll say this, I fully now that I've had two kiddos, my favorite age or month that takes place is sixteen months. Sixteen months, that's when like their personality comes out. She's starting to like talk, you know what I mean, Like can you say Mama?

00:47:51
Speaker 1: Can you say Dad?

00:47:52
Speaker 3: Can you say waffle?

00:47:53
Speaker 1: Can you say ru?

00:47:53
Speaker 3: Rue?

00:47:54
Speaker 2: And she does all of her little broken language to where, say she wants a pouch for a snack, I'll give her a pouch, I'll open it up, I'll throw the cap and attraction and I handed to her and as I handed to her down low, she'd be like taku tacu, like saying thank you, Like she's like getting stuff to where the sixteenth month and it was the same with Rue, and I've always been like, oh, sixteen month, I felt that's when the personality comes out. This happened with Scotty and it's kind of just reinforcing that. I love when they get around that sixteenth month mark because if you're starting to engage more, she's clingy as shit, she's a tackler. She's great at angles. She's great at like stay on maneuver and like again being clingy. She's very good at seeking you out like a missile and grabbing your leg and then getting to where she gets both legs and her head is in between your kneecaps, just kind of like yelling and moving like she wants you to pick her up. It's scotty, I'm trying to operate right now. Please sit over here, Please play with your toys. But she just wants to be around you at all the time. She Harry Klingey love her to death, dead apth.

00:48:54
Speaker 3: But she's all over the place. Man I do. I don't want to jump into like crack of cole One too fast, but I have very fun crack a cold crack that I'm like really excited about.

00:49:04
Speaker 2: Thank you, ollipop, Thank you ollipop. Crack the cold one. We can hit the cold ones.

00:49:10
Speaker 3: This crack a cold one is about as Chris as this Chris Apple. I had my first connection, like my first little quote unquote thing with Scarlet over the wedding weekend. I'll give it quick shout out, no free shout out to mother in law Lisa came and Clutch again drove down to Houston to babysit Scarlet to allow mamas and dad as to go to rehearsal, dinner and wedding and have some fun some quote unquote fun where you get in the car and you're like, we're doing it, dude, without the kid o and like not to not to celebrate it, like in an inappropriate way, but like, dude, I had a lot of fun on Friday, Like Jill and I are dancing. We're we're in the little party bus thing that they are taking because she was a bridesmaid, and we're riding along and one of the groom or the groom is an LSU grad and is from Baton Rouge and dude, they call them the boot beats, like rap music from Louisiana, bounce music. Yeah, and they have the boot beats going in the party bus. They played neck in the party bus. Brother, I haven't felt that young in a minute. It was really really fun. So shout out Mama Lisa for that. I do want to give her her props. But over the weekend on Saturday morning, when I had a lot of fun on Friday, I had to dig in because Jill is gone on Saturday to go do all the wedding prep, the hair, the makeup. They have the matching pajamas. They do the TikTok dance like video.

00:50:51
Speaker 2: You got the clipboard, you got the headset. It's on you. Nobody's coming to save you.

00:50:55
Speaker 1: I'm on.

00:50:56
Speaker 3: Oh and you and you were up all the night before. Good yeah, hungover? Good? Yeah. You had probably the most alcohol that you've had in a year. I really have been drinking in a year and a half when Jill got pregnant. And it wasn't any conscious decision. So your boys feel in some type of way on Saturday morning. You're older, I'm older. I'm older, and I got locked in. So I lock in. And as I'm playing with Scarlett, I just have her on the bed facing me and I'm facing her, and we got a little TV in the background just for some noise. We're playing with stuff, and she has been doing the on her own, and so I hit her with a and she goes and kind of loaders her head and siles at me and goes and I go, WHOA, hold on, hold on, hold on, yeah. I wait a good twenty seconds because I want her brain to go away from that, and I go and she goes right back to me. I go, hold on, hold on, hold on, because there's a lot of there's a lot of stuff that babies do. You don't know if there's any rhyme or reason. Mama, Lisa's hanging out with Scarlett. I said, you know, I was kind of working with something with her this morning where I make a little fart noise, she makes one back. Lisa goes, really, I go, yeah, And now pressure's on. She's like, well, then do it, dad, if you're so good. I'm like halfway across the room, I go, Scarlet, Scarlet, and she's slowly turns over to me and I go and she goes, no, shit, yes, yes, And it was incredible, dude. I'm just I want that communication. You know how much of a talker I am. And I love like being able to communicate with people, and I'm so starved of it with Scarlet because she can't talk yet. And just that little taste, dude. And then we got home and on actually last night, I went to go pick her up from daycare and I'm trying not to overdo it. I don't want to be that dad that's like oh, do the dance, do the dance, and then they don't want to do the dance anymore. I was putting her to bed last night and we're laying on her rug and I hit her with a little and she didn't smile back, but she went back. Damn dude. It was incredible.

00:53:33
Speaker 1: Hey guys, what a convo? Yeah, you and scarscar.

Let's get back to that episode, all right. We're back.

00:55:53
Speaker 2: We're back from potty break, We're back from the cameras overheating. We're still on Crackit Coal one. My Crackit Coal one this week goes to Rue Happy Birthday. Rue Ru turns four on Friday, on April third. It's a Rue fish half years old?

00:56:09
Speaker 3: Real how you damn you know, mixed emotions.

00:56:15
Speaker 2: You're happy and sad at the same time, Like you're so fired up and happy because I can just tell she's gonna be like just a phenomena, phenomenal like young woman girl like as she continues to grow up. She's so kind, she's so intentional. She loves her sister Scottie so much. She loves us so much, she needs us so much. She loves learning new things. She's so curious, she's so like I get pumped about her potentially being athletic, but she's just she's so many like positive things to where I get excited about her future because I know she's just going to be a great young woman. And then there's a part of you that's sad because they're just growing up. Like, I don't know, man, you're you spend If I could try and put words to it, it's like.

00:57:06
Speaker 3: You know how deeply you love your kids and how much you learn that you would do anything for them. You pour everything into them. They need you so much at this moment in time. These moments and memories are more for us than it is.

00:57:23
Speaker 2: I mean, it is for the kid, but I'm thinking in terms of like kids don't really they'd say that kids don't really remember anything before the age of four.

00:57:31
Speaker 1: So I have a.

00:57:31
Speaker 2: Hard time knowing, like all these memories are for us so much right now, and you try and embrace them as much as you can and hold on to them like you wish you could bottle all these moments up so much because they're going to be gone one day because you raise them. They need you so much right now, and you pour everything into them so that way they can one day not need you and operate in their own regards, have their own freedoms, be their own endo visual that they are, and you're obviously going to be proud seeing the person and human being an adult that they become. But just knowing that when we do get to that point, which makes me sad, makes me happy, but a lot sad when I reflect on it. It's just because I know when it gets there, I'm going to want all of these moments that I'm having with her back so much. So that's where it's like, I'm happy and fired up that she's turning for she's got to. We wrote a list on our breakfast date of what Roue wants to accomplish at four years old, and we're running through it, and it's just I'm sitting there smiling and everything else, and Rue knows I'm both like that.

00:58:38
Speaker 3: Are you happy? Are you sad?

00:58:39
Speaker 2: I'm all of these things because if I reflect on parenting it again, I've only been a parent and a dad for four years now, so I got a long ways to go. But as I reflect and to any new parents that are becoming new parents or have a little one.

00:58:54
Speaker 1: Right now, it's just like.

00:58:57
Speaker 2: The hardest part isn't the meltdowns and tantrums and stubbornness and all the things that you go through that make the shit hard and sucky. Constantly every day there's something new that's going on, something new that you're trying to embrace and stay in and be next to them on. That also makes it really difficult. The hardest part of parenthood is watching them grow up, you.

00:59:18
Speaker 3: Know, what I mean.

00:59:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, like knowing that our job is to and our responsibility is to raise as good of a human being as possible to operate in the world, and knowing that when that happens, they no longer need you. Knowing that is the hardest part for me as a dad. I feel like is the hardest part as a parent. Isn't all the shit that we've been about and complain about and laugh about and you have fun with because they have tantrums all the time, they have meltdowns. They're screaming in the car for thirty minutes and you're just like, God, get me out of here. Yeah, like, sweetheart, you take them. I'm beefing with Scottie tonight. Yeah, I'm beefing with ru right now. I don't want to deal with them. But knowing, like you know, that's not the actual hardest part is knowing that one day they're not going to need all of this stuff that you're trying to pour into them to function properly and to handle it, to be kind, to be a great person, to be to want to be grade at anything that they do.

01:00:16
Speaker 1: That's the toughest part.

01:00:17
Speaker 2: So just knowing that for is coming up and four is kind of that age mark that the little research and things that I hear about and read about and all the things. It's like, you know, four is like a new element that four to six range, and then it'll be six to eight or six to nine and beyond that, like all these things are gonna go away, and then you get to kind of relive them with your second one, with Scotty knowing that how fleeting it is. Because Ruby and four is like you scroll through the photo album, you scroll through all the things that you've done together, and you're like, fuck, we we knock it out of the part, Like do we live a great life? You live such an awesome life. We have so much fun at everything we do. And you're about to be four noweah? Or does time go?

01:00:54
Speaker 3: And hey you gotta now you gotta be that much more?

01:00:57
Speaker 2: You think, like, how do I get in these moments more with Scott knowing how fleeting it is? One day, Scott, he's gonna be four. Yeah, when Ruth's turning what is that?

01:01:05
Speaker 1: Six?

01:01:06
Speaker 3: Seven? Oh? Come on of mine?

01:01:09
Speaker 2: But that that is what I think about, Like as I reflect and as I think about routurning.

01:01:14
Speaker 3: Four, I have an added page for you on that that hit me this weekend because this was my first wedding going to you have like truly having a daughter and not really putting much thought into that future yet because I'm I'm down. I'm back over here. Yeah, you know, she's eating her kale apple crisp little spoon puffs and I'm proud of that. I'm like, oh my gosh, like she can put it in her mouth herself. And we went to this wedding and shout out the father of the bride that I've had a lot of interaction with, mister Matthias, awesome dad. He is a pt sicko and he has one girl and that is like he loves her. And watching him walk down with her, I was sitting asle and I was looking at him as he was coming down the aisle and not Meg the bride, congrats Meg and Sam, and seeing how proud he was like walking his daughter down the aisle and then that moment of who gives this woman her mother? And I and then he messed up and forgot to shake Sam's hand because he's rushing to go sit down because that moment is probably so big for him. And I'm sitting there going, damn it, dude, that will be me.

01:02:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then he gives a toast.

01:02:50
Speaker 2: He gives a toast, and you are right now, in real time, formulating part of your toast speech. I'd be like, Scar, Scar, I was sitting at a wedding and you're in your Apple Chris Pop whatever you just named. And now I've seen you grow up to be this woman that you are, and all you want is like I wish I had those moments back of you just eating your goddamn.

01:03:17
Speaker 1: Dude right like that is that is the game.

01:03:20
Speaker 2: That we're in, Yeah, dude, and it's amazing, and it's fucking sad, knowing like you do get to those parts and it's just such a mixture. I don't know how to sit there. And it's like I'm leaning into the sadness or I'm leaning too that. It's all of the emotions.

01:03:32
Speaker 3: A beautiful thing to then see Jill's friend Meg as this woman that has grown up. She was the little thing with the puffs, and mister Matthias was sitting there and like she I mean, dude, she's a go getter, like she's a stud. And it's this incredible young woman and I'm like, oh my gosh, I want Scarlett to be that too. Like there's a big part of me that's like I gotta do a really good job to make sure that we do get to this moment I do get to hand her off to like this awesome guy. But it's just really, really really sad. Yeah, I mean you said it in it made me tear of like the realization of that, Dude, that sucks. It's like life rips, but life also is a motherfucker, yeah, dude, Because I'll sit there and think, like, do we do pizza Friday?

01:04:24
Speaker 2: Every Friday? She's so alwayscit Mama. Can I help you set the table? Can I help you, like just engage in the tribal mentality that the family operates in, like wanting to be helpful, and even when Mama does bedtime. I've talked about this, Even when Mama does bedtime, I'm the closer, Like I go when she wants dad at a lay down with her and scratch your arm and scratch her back because I got into that habit when she was young, and I'm trying to find a different way to where I'm not picking her up and holding.

01:04:51
Speaker 1: Her out of the crib.

01:04:52
Speaker 2: I want to let her know that I'm next to her and I'm like rubbing her arm and rubbing her little fingers and rubbing her hand. Then it came to let that give you a massage. That way we can get through a couple books and know when that it does massage and scratch your back. It's also time for bedtime that morphed into. Now that she has her own bed, she still wants backscratches and rubs from data. So I lay in bed with her every night without fail, unless I'm out of town. It's that it does bedtime. Mama comes in, gives her head kits and three squeezes. Dadad's still laying next to her as I rub her back and scratch her back. If Mama does bedtime, Mom comes out downstairs Dad that you're up, because she's like, make sure to send data. And I go in bed and lay with her for a few minutes to rub her arm and scratch her back. And I am the last person she sees basically the majority of nights. And one day that's gonna be part of my speech of like, man, I hope or you just you're thinking yourself.

01:05:47
Speaker 3: I hope I am every night, every night, and one night every night.

01:05:50
Speaker 2: I don't know what age it is, but there's gonna come a time to where she doesn't want me to do that every night, you know what I mean. And there's gonna be like a death that I personally have with myself because you want to hang onto these moments so long. It where you get so close to him and so bought in, but you know that there's gonna be an ending down the road, which is both beautiful and shitty at the same time.

01:06:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, you should ask you should ask the groom to promise you that he'll scratch your back every night when you do your skit. God, because that's where my mind goes. I'm gonna be on my metaphorically on my hands and knees, begging that dude like treat her well, dude, like please, You're gonna be ten toes down and being like I was that man, now you're that man.

01:06:38
Speaker 4: Yeah.

01:06:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, And then it makes you want to be a better husband, which is a good thing of like you know how often I fall short in that regard and just like.

01:06:53
Speaker 5: It.

01:06:53
Speaker 3: It's so cool having a girl one of my one dude, one of my Now I'm really gonna cry. Uh. One of my close friends is having a girl and he just called me and I teared up when he told me about it. That kept it cool, Like they couldn't tell that teared up, Like kept fucking my boy called me.

01:07:13
Speaker 2: Doesn't have any kids, zero, So this is first one and first one he calls you and told you and you're tearing up, but also you kept it fucking cool.

01:07:22
Speaker 3: Kept it so cool, dude, And also f him because I'm like, how is Lake Tahoe? They went on a ski train, it was great, blah blah blah, theah. The wife he she didn't ski it all because she's pregnant. What wait, hold on what? And then they're tell me it's a baby girl and all this stuff, and I'm like, dude, he has no idea. But I'm also so excited for him because I know the type of guy he is, and I'm like, dude, like, oh, just the opportunity that dads have with girls, and shout out the boy dads, dude. Of course, we have so many boy dad petsikos that are like, fucking talk about it, and I get that we do need to talk about the boy dad's more. But the girl dads have such an opportunity with these girls that it's just sick to like be at a wedding and see that celebration of life and see that dad that's so proud and so happy to give away his daughter and like, I don't know.

01:08:24
Speaker 1: Dude, it's just a bond.

01:08:25
Speaker 2: It's even when you do the oh, it's like you just can't describe the bond that you have with your children, even if you talk about boy dads, like, yeah, we don't have boys, but we are men, Like we were raised by men, dude, Like we know all the shortcomings that our dads had to where you know if you had a if I clone myself or I have a boy one day, like I know I'm going to be harder on him because I want him to be a better maid than me. Yes, but you also have to have this empathy bug in there of Okay, when were times where I had anxiety or too much of a fear around my dad to where I feel like I couldn't connect or talk with him because you want to make him proud so badly, To where in those moments are still teaching moments for you with your son, to where yes, you can be hard on them. We all know we're going to be hard on our boys. You want them to be fucking men, good men, the right men, do everything the right way. Don't get caught up in the other bullshit. But you also have to think about when are the times that I felt as a boy growing up where I was a little too scared about something or I had there was a fear or a failure or a letdown or something to where there was a there were some of these disconnects with my dad, right, and my dad was awesome.

01:09:39
Speaker 1: My dad was also tough.

01:09:40
Speaker 2: Love, very hard on me, very much like Dan Gable A lot of our quotes like I've had the life that I've had because my dad was half of it. But there are things that I can think about to where if I have a boy, I know I'll have to catch myself I wanting to be too hard on him and back, Hey, Willie, try to remember, Try to remember some of the disconnects that maybe me and my dad had to where I'm sitting there because now I have this empathy gene because I've had girls like the patients, the love, the care to help them develop, like as their brain is developing there like boys are going through the same thing.

01:10:11
Speaker 3: You're not just harder on them because.

01:10:13
Speaker 2: It's like always a boiled figure it out like no, none, I sit with them, sit with them and try to put yourself in his little undeveloped brain right now, and try to walk with him and try to do all these things to help mold him. So we don't have boys, we can still try and like we are men, like we are guys, to where there's a lot of the similar carrier, Like men and women are very different, but still there's a lot of common things that you're still sitting with them on and trying to help them understand why they're feeling what they're feeling. Hey, it is okay to talk about what you're feeling. There are times when you do need to talk about like what's on your mind. There are times where you shouldn't be suppressing. I can see the road we're going down being a little too hard on you to sit there to where I feel like you're not talking to me. I've done a poor job of not creating a space for you to talk to me, and we can talk and I'll tell you why everything happens.

01:10:59
Speaker 3: Yeah, the grading scale that I've created in my head if I did have a boy, is that he is such a terrific man. He is such a great human that when that girl dad is letting their bride go on that wedding day, yeah, it's that much easier because they know the type of man that they're letting their daughter marry. Yeah, if that makes sense, like being able to grade that as like, I know how great my son is because I'm I'm partial. That's my son, but others see it in him. Others see it in the way that he is treating his significant other, his friends, his blah blah blah, like this is this is a true Ptsico. Ptsico, this is good stuff. Man.

01:11:47
Speaker 2: We do have some new or on the new dad kicks. I have a new dad shout out right here from Brandon Clark. Come on via email boys, PTSICO from Sydney, Australia.

01:11:57
Speaker 1: That was That was my attempt at an except.

01:11:59
Speaker 2: Profile of a two year old boy currently listening in the hospital birthing sweet after the arrival of baby number two, our little girl, reflecting as I sit on my little chair on how proud I am and my wife and how lucky we are that we get to do this again. My son punched me in the balls last night, so I'm also casually reminding her that I feel her pain. She's not appreciating it, but I digress good. Also reflecting on just how much the pod has influenced me as a father, whether it be the countless lessons quotes to live by, or a weekly reminder of the shared wins and losses we all face as dads.

My name is Brandon. I live in South Carolina, Go Cox. I started listening to the pod about a year ago, and as a father of two boys two years and four months old, I really feel like I learn a lot of new hacks I never would have thought of or tried before. My wife and I have tried all the methods we can think of for potty training, and he's just not telling us when he has to go. It's frustrating because it's really not that hard to pee in or at least near the toilet.

01:14:52
Speaker 3: Anyway. I was just curious how it went for y'all. Loved the pod. Y'all are crushing it. What was this question on the potty? Did they they're not going in the toilet? Man?

01:15:03
Speaker 2: With boys, I hear it's it's harder, it's more different team. You don't know where that thing's gonna go.

01:15:08
Speaker 3: You're trying to teach the los what do I think him outside? Don't don't teach him it's okay to go outside like the boys do. Yeah, your parents what my parents did? Did care or didn't care? Didn't care? Yeah, my parents didn't didn't say that that's a tree you grew up on the little sticker of the little kid pissing on whatever logo be on it, and then you're doing your name. It's fun. Yeah, it's fine, big daddy, it's fun. It's fun to go to Philip Philippo on YouTube. Boys.

Speaker 1: Shirt and or a hat.

01:20:32
Speaker 2: For the dads, something for the moms, maybe a hat or something that Jill or Charrow I spelled that how it sounds Charro he put two rs.

01:20:40
Speaker 3: It's one R.

01:20:41
Speaker 2: It's wish they had when they left the hospital, a blanket or a beanie for the baby.

01:20:47
Speaker 3: That's what a great idea.

01:20:51
Speaker 1: That's a phenomenal idea.

01:20:52
Speaker 3: What a we'll talk about it. We'll talk about we'll look into it. We'll look in that new and fresh. We we should probably look into it, look into it. We'll look into it. We'll look into it because we love the idea first time.

01:21:09
Speaker 2: And if you're just hearing us, if this happens to be your first episode and that was one of your comments, or it's just your first episode and you're wondering the vibe that's taking place right now, the BT sikos understanding the vibe taking place right now.

01:21:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, great idea.

01:21:22
Speaker 3: We love it. Idea, look into it. I have ada. I think you guys are thinking different things right now. We are okay, I'm on your page, we're here. I know you're you're again. The trauma that you faced previously in life does not come from chip or I. This is not attack on you. We love you.

01:21:42
Speaker 1: I'm not feeling an attack. I'm saying, we'll look into it. Okay.

01:21:45
Speaker 3: I'm saying if there's just a first time viewer and they're wondering, like why are they gotchas, like do they love the idea?

01:21:52
Speaker 1: They not love the idea because we're like, we love the idea.

01:21:55
Speaker 3: We love the idea. I love the idea. We'll look into it. My, yes, my, we love the idea. We love it.

01:22:03
Speaker 6: Uh.

01:22:03
Speaker 3: Jay Roma nine on YouTube he has a dad loss here, Dad loss. My daughter has a ton of hair, and I was in charge of getting her ready for picture day at school because mom has to be in work early. I sent in a couple hair ties with her and asked her to ask the teacher to fix her hair.

01:22:33
Speaker 2: So as the dad loss, he didn't do the hair, he needed somebody else to do do the hair.

01:22:39
Speaker 3: I will say this, I said, I wasn't gonna say it on the pod, but I'll put it out there. I'll put it out there. Put it out there dad when he knew it was picture day. That's a like if we're talking baseline, dad win, Dad, when you understand what your weaknesses are, so there to right there. Did he prepare? Sounds like he did. He got some hair ties and asked his daughter to ask the.

01:23:08
Speaker 1: Teacher to do the He do we know how old the daughter is?

01:23:12
Speaker 4: Uh?

01:23:12
Speaker 2: No, we did not. We did not, So you could be playing in a gray area there. Did you trust your daughter to go inside and ask to get her hair done?

01:23:19
Speaker 3: Yeah?

01:23:21
Speaker 1: So maybe maybe, Like.

01:23:23
Speaker 3: Well, I'm guessing she's not old enough to do her own hair correct, But is she going to remember to ask the question when she walks in? Which is old? Yes? That could be a win. Yeah, that could be a win. But I think even though that is a dad loss, we'll chuck it up as a loss. I think they're fundamentally let's just create a standard. Fundamentally, all dads need to understand how to just do a ponytail. Yes, just one simple, whether it's low pony, high pony. Just work in your fingers, work in your hands. You just get a hair.

01:23:55
Speaker 2: Tie on them, yes, tighten it up, yes, Oh, pull the pony tail, so the little thing he gets tied into their head. Yeah. To me, that's that's a standard. That's fundamental.

01:24:06
Speaker 3: I think so, Okay, I think so, I think that's a dad loss. I think he did a did a good job of Hey, I've already fallen short here and instead of just like oh, we'll go, there was some prep. I understand it. But we got to learn how to do the ponytail. I want to learn how to breid.

01:24:27
Speaker 2: My wife tell me about learning how to braid. So can I get in the Can I get in the car with him? Can I get in the foxhold with him?

01:24:36
Speaker 1: Sure?

01:24:36
Speaker 2: An example that just happened yesterday. You're in the car, in the car with him with Jay Roma similar experience. Mom left Ruse had a licencident to where her hair. We want it braided. We don't just want to loose ponytail. We don't want our hair down. We want to braid it or something to where it's tight. And I guess you minimize the risk for getting ice because she's gotten lights from school.

01:25:04
Speaker 3: Cool.

01:25:05
Speaker 2: Cool, But yesterday I forgot to get her hair done.

01:25:11
Speaker 1: But I don't.

01:25:12
Speaker 2: I don't know how to do the braid and hand up, sue me. I don't know how to braid hair. Yet she does try to teach me. She wants me to sit there and observe do all the things. I'm good with the ponytail. I can rip ponytails all day long. I can now do a little ballet bun as well as I watch.

01:25:23
Speaker 1: A YouTube video.

01:25:25
Speaker 3: Okay, but I forgot.

01:25:28
Speaker 2: I forgot to have our nanny. As we're sitting there, she would do her hair. Hey, tell her what she needs. Rude just got in hair down, long hair, don't care. She was rocking the Clay Matthews before game day. Good. We're driving into school. I'm now realizing my dad lost, Like you, I forgot to do that. I didn't even know, like there was no I gotta get this done. I'm aware that I'm not getting it done. It wasn't until I was in the car line and be like, damn, I forgot to do her hair.

01:25:55
Speaker 1: What I did.

01:25:58
Speaker 2: Improvise adapt to overcome. Pulled up, saw the teacher. Hey, miss so and so, do you have two hair ties? Well, of course, could you when you go inside, could you braid Ruth's hair for me? She's all ru's on me right now that I didn't.

01:26:14
Speaker 3: Get her hair braided. She said, oh, of course I'll braid Ruth's hair.

01:26:16
Speaker 2: So I know the job got done. But Dad lost with my man who just wrote in yeah, same thing.

01:26:20
Speaker 3: Happened to me. Yeah, same thing happened to me. I'm seeing this whole Pints and Ponies thing and we've we've been sending it. Dereck's been sending into the group. We reached out and just said hi to them. We're mutual friends now with Pints and Pony. Oh are we really do?

I'm thinking, I don't want them to get to the point where we're beating them over the head because they are so stoked to see this growth, and I think they're going to be really excited about this one because this is a personal one that we have been working on behind the scenes.

Speaker 2: See I can tell this this now. Now we're in different stage. Who I have a whole different perspective. Yeah, we're in different stages right now. Yeah, because mine is, without a doubt, the Whisperer. Yeah, like, without a doubt, produce a magic com that calms a meltdown in under sixty seconds.

01:36:13
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I look at that.

01:36:14
Speaker 2: Listen, It's like, what is the thing that I deal that we deal with the most that can happen more consistently, Like, yeah, reflexes, that'd be great. I fact I got some good dad reflexes, but it's not one hundred percent. Yeah, the tactical one. Yeah, that's we're traveling, not every day, not all the time. The one I deal with, the one that we deal with every day with a three year old soon to before and it's sixteenth month old, is the meltdown santrums, both of them at the same time. Ones get more love than the other. You gotta the I just get that magic com. If I could become the Whisper, that would be the super that would be the superpower that I would choose as a dad at this stage of my life.

01:36:51
Speaker 3: Okay, so you're going whisper.

01:36:53
Speaker 1: I'm going whisper.

01:36:54
Speaker 3: I think I'm going to go full board reflex Master, reflex Master, which makes a lot of sense.

01:37:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like even the tactical ones, when you get kids to the point to where you're just kind of crawl, you know, rallying everybody getting them in the vehicle.

01:37:06
Speaker 1: I can see where the tactical one comes in.

01:37:08
Speaker 3: We had to, like a couple passes hit the floor in the airport. That's gross, right, Like, you know what happens. It happens, but you don't want to put it right back into their mouth if it's the airport. I'm sure, Hey, I'm sure. After baby number two, probably probably sorry doing that. I had a coworker shout out, sonya, but she she told me. First baby, I mean when anything happens, shit hits the fan. Second baby, they'll get lost in the grocery store for five minutes. Hey, they'll pop up, Yeah, they'll pop up, they'll pop up. Third one, we're home alone coming. Third one is as you're going to the car with the you know, the buggy, they come running out with the third one, they go hey, you leave something. Oh there he is, Yeah, I thought he was in the car. That's why I'm going to the car.

01:38:02
Speaker 1: What are the other show me that list again?

01:38:04
Speaker 3: Reflex Master, the Human cre iron Nose.

01:38:07
Speaker 2: In my opinion, if you're a young father in the stage that you are, I feel like you're wasting a superpower.

01:38:13
Speaker 3: You are using that one that this you do not need. Iron Nose, you don't need. Do you want to hear which one's one?

01:38:19
Speaker 6: Yeah?

01:38:20
Speaker 3: And I could read back, Oh yeah, I had a yeah they had a pool. Okay. Thirteen total votes, so zero votes for iron Nose, identified dirty diper from two rooms of wa via vibes, zero votes for Nursery Ninja navigate legos and creaky boards, and total silence okay. Tied two votes reflex Master catch falling objects and two votes Tactical Loader packed the diaper bag trunk for the weekend. In second place with three was the human Crane. It was that success rate from car to crib. With six total voices. Was the Whisperer produce a magic column that calms I melt down an under sixty second. That makes sense.

01:38:54
Speaker 2: I mean that superpower alone, bro all, I guess that's peace and motion.

01:38:59
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jill, and I haven't gotten to that point yet of like being out late enough to where Scarlett ate her solids at dinner and now she's asleep, And really we could just segue that car ride sleep into bedtime and leave it at that. We haven't hit there, right, But even if you use that superpower, they wake up, and think about the power of the whisper, they wake up. That's what I'm saying.

01:39:25
Speaker 2: You change them, you put them in bed, and you just leave the room and they're already crying. Yeah yeah, yeah, But then like after a minute or two, like all right, they're not putting themselves asleep right away because they woke themselves up from the transfer.

01:39:37
Speaker 3: You just walk in there. You hit them with some Wemba way what's the name of that song, No, the one that you love from Oh Mighty Joe, Young Mighty Joe, Young Imbo.

01:39:48
Speaker 7: Wimboop walcuty no time, the eyes slowly shutting, little one is now GotY no no time, and you it's over.

01:40:06
Speaker 3: They're out.

01:40:08
Speaker 1: They're out.

01:40:08
Speaker 2: So even if you have they wake up in between the car and get into the crib, you hit them with that.

01:40:13
Speaker 1: It's done.

01:40:13
Speaker 3: Yeah, game wonderful, this wonderful job singing. Okay, and thank you, thank you, thank you Derek for being on top of me. That has what six weeks? Yeah, and Easy is the guy that started the redit page. So shout out, shout out easy, shut out easy.

Martha Washington, Yeah, George Washington's wifey Yeah. And Caro knew what to do. And again, I feel like everything I've heard that girls are just easier. Yeah, I'm a dude. Only only thing that I got and they might not be old enough for this is JJ. I think I've told this story on the pod JJ, son of Jeremy Shout out JJ and Jeremy I've been catching some flak that I only shout out JJ and Brady and Brady and Lindsey, Yes, shout out the clumps. Uh. When their son was here, he was doing a little bit of this, like holding his hand right there and kind of, you know, the toes are going inward a little bit, but he's not saying anything, and he's not saying anything, and Dad is asking. Jeremy's asking JJ jj JJ you gotta go, you gotta go. No, no, no, I said, JJ, I'm about to piss my pants now, I'm gonna race you to the bathroom because I'm gonna go to the bathroom first. No, you're not, and ran to the bathroom, went in there, and Pete I was like, what a dad act. I was like, dang it, dang it, you beat me.

01:50:13
Speaker 2: That's honestly a great one right there, because even when Rue, like now, now you have me thinking in terms of Rue, like anytime we thought that, okay, she hasn't gone in a while, you just kind of I'm telling Rue, hey, I gotta go potty right now. You're probably gonna follow me into the bathroom.

01:50:26
Speaker 3: Like you always do. Let's go together, heah, let's go together. And in Rue's bathroom, let's go powder. He's a big Daniel Tiger fan. Daniel Tiger for when she gets her screen time, there's some game. There's game in Daniel Tiger.

01:50:39
Speaker 1: What do you do?

01:50:40
Speaker 2: You have to go potty? Maybe yes, maybe no? Why don't we sit and try to go? M something like that. Yeah, But we had the poster of Daniel Tiger with the lyrics sitting in the bathroom, so that way it could always.

01:50:56
Speaker 1: Be on her mind.

01:50:57
Speaker 3: Hey, was Daniel Tiger say maybe maybe yes, maybe no?

01:51:01
Speaker 2: Why don't why don't we sit and try to go and try to go?

01:51:05
Speaker 3: That's Danny Dandy. Oh I always knew I like DT that's Daniel Tiger.

01:51:14
Speaker 1: Yeah.

01:51:15
Speaker 3: And then when they're sitting in there, look at the poster. Dad, dude, got it. Get look here. You don't have to go. It's all good. We're just we're just taking we're just taking the t o. We're taking a quick thirty. Yeah, let's go cut our nose. What's the hot goss? What's the four to one one?

Speaker 3: You need the potty now cool? Get after it?

01:51:33
Speaker 1: Yeah.

01:51:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, and also shout out all those posters. Dude, save the drama for your Lama. Yeah, hang in there with the little kitten. Nothing like a good elementary school post.

01:51:48
Speaker 2: And then if it gets too far, you gotta think you might have just start thinking about waterboarding.

01:51:58
Speaker 3: Mmm. I like your head's at and I'm trying to think of the best way. Because he said it was it a three year old, two year old.

01:52:06
Speaker 1: There's somewhere around there.

01:52:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, still light enough you could hold them by their feet, but there's probably some ways to go about it. Yeah.

01:52:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, you pissed on the floor.

01:52:14
Speaker 3: You know what that is. Here's what the floor feels like when you piss all over it. You just start waterboarding them, April Fools. Oh god, I'm joking. I'm joking. Your nose in it, April Fool. Yeah yeah, April Fools, kind of like a dog. Won't you just rub their face in it? April? Hey, we might be pieces of ship, but we're not here a piece of ship. Emails. We got emails? Great?

01:52:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got I got a couple.

01:52:59
Speaker 3: Okay, I I only have one. I'll rip through mine because it's kind of lengthy in a good way. This one comes from Colin Riley. Colin says, Hey, boys, I just wanted to shout out my wife and share some thoughts on what I am doing trying to be a supportive partner, especially when things seem stacked against you. This message might be a little long. I apologize for that, but I just wanted to share a little bit about some things that are going on and how much this podcast helps me keep things in perspective. Little context. My wife, Kristin and I live in Australia. Good I might with our four year old son Body. That's a sick name. I love Body. She's from New Zealand. I'm from Indiana and we met at Ball State University. We moved to Australia at the start of twenty twenty and had our son during COVID. Kristen plays professional soccer in the second division here in Australia and has recently played in the FIFA Women's Champion's Cup against Wuhan and China the fucking irony there. She has been trying to break through to the first division and as she is turning thirty this year, she feels like time is against her. I wanted to just shout her out. She's doing a tough job. She's a great athlete and a better mom. It takes a special type of person to juggle everything she does, parenting, sports, and working full time on top of that. I know how great she is and how well she handles everything, so the least I can do is make her life easier. Cooking me, dishes me, laundry me, cleaning done, daycare drop off I do that. Birthday parties of course, weekend sports, bring it on? Kids? What the bed sorted? Kid? What's the bed and throws up in the bed? No big deal? What colon?

01:54:49
Speaker 2: Light?

01:54:49
Speaker 3: Work colon? In my mind, I'm trying to make as much of her plate as I take as much of off her plate as I can. The less she has to worry about, the better she can perform, and the more time she can spend with her son. My thinking is that as a husband and father, I need to be able to handle it all. One of the highlights of my week is being able to lock in at work and listen to the pod. It helps me realize that there are all sorts of parents in all different situations, and we are all just trying our best to keep it together. I appreciate the candor of the pod, not afraid of the bad times, but embracing them, sharing them and celebrating the good times. Final shout out for the wife. She's doing an amazing job, and since we live overseas away from both of our families, there's not many people who appreciate and get to see how wonderful and strong she really is. Colin Riley shout out Kristen Riley.

01:55:52
Speaker 1: Shout out Kristin Riley. Sounds like a badass.

01:55:54
Speaker 2: Both of them sound like badasses, and we were just kind of like an interpreter for the being over here.

01:55:59
Speaker 3: On the mainland. Yeah, dude, you want to know how they're doing. You hear how they're doing?

01:56:03
Speaker 4: Yeah.

01:56:03
Speaker 3: Riley family sounds like they're crushing right now. Sounds like Christen is a stud in the football side of things, and Colin has hold it down at the fort.

01:56:14

I was doing some research on Dan Gable. I was like, every great hero has their doppelganger, their villain has who they're going against. I found Dan Gables and you can correct me on this If I'm wrong, will, but it looked like Dan's rival was Ivan Kjorgan, a Russian Soviet Union wrestler, Ivan who went up against Dan Gable and really gave him the most trouble throughout Dan's career. Ivan had a great quote that I wanted to read out please. He said, I trained in the village every day like a peasant, and I chopped enough firewood for three winners. That's Ivan Yargen. That's the type of cicco that's gonna give a cicico like Dan Gables some trouble. Yeah. I'm not just gonna go out in chopped firewood. I'm gonna chop enough for three winners. Yeah.

02:00:15
Speaker 2: Then you got the story arc of Dan Gable, how he became everybody's hero. Yeah, my hero I've been. I mean I've been truly sounded like Ivan Drago. Oh yeah, your name was what's kind of the villain you need?

02:00:28
Speaker 3: Yeah? And I was like, was the loone like kind of a Dan Gable cicico? Is that where the Rocky four plot came from? I don't know now. My Lesson of the Week is a recap from last week's Lesson of the Week. Uh for those that are here.

02:00:47
Speaker 2: No way, that's Dan Gable. What was he saying, Once you've wrestled, everything in life is easy?

02:00:56
Speaker 3: Can we get I think we've said that one before.

02:00:58
Speaker 1: We probably haven't.

02:00:59
Speaker 3: Oh probably, Yeah, it's so nice. We said it twice, Yeah, chef, can we and we're wrestling with our kids every day? In post? Will do you mind holding in post? Can we get a nice little zoom on Dan there? Yeah? Yeah, we can do that.

02:01:15
Speaker 1: Let people understand who we're talking about it.

02:01:17
Speaker 3: We look at that.

02:01:18
Speaker 1: That's Dan Gable.

02:01:21
Speaker 3: Golly, he looks good. Well he does man? We okay, So last week, let's know, the week was owning something to take it off of your wife's plate. Don't just do chores when the chores need to be done. Own a part of the house, so that is off of wifey's checklist. Because a female brain works different from a male brain, they're always processing stuff. There's it's a constant to do lists by you. Owning the bathroom per se is what I said I was gonna own that will take something off of her? Is the bathroom clean? Do we need toilet paper? Blah blah blah. She doesn't have to worry about it. Husband's got it. I have an update, I have a further pledge, and I wrote a little something here. I may be getting ahead of myself, but I have a new domain that I'll be taking charge of in our new home that we're moving to. This is in addition to the bathrooms the garage. And I know what the ptsicos are thinking, Sherman, that's a given. Ptsiicos are born in the garage, molded by it all great points. However, this will be not just any garage. It will have daily surveillance, it will have weekly vacuuming, weekly leaf blowing. But it will not only be the garage. You will be the stallions that inhabit the stables. My wife's car is included in the umbrella of the garage. Far too long? How's my wife set there with her her oil unchanged, her tires low. I will be taking full responsibility for those things as well. Get our hot.

02:03:22
Speaker 5: Please, please, don't you have already heard a non copyrighted rap three times in this uh this episode?

02:03:29
Speaker 3: Let's not four? Maybe a folk song? Hey, what you know what we could do? We could cover that song. We could make our own little cover and then we could play it anytime we want on the podcast. Sure that'd be fun, Like it would be fun like a kid's pop version, but a PT six pop. Let's get out of here man. Great sod, Yeah, great sod? Right, areat so terrific? So terrific? A is there a timeline for like the car or like you're you're watching it? And he said you're giving like sweeping and leaf blowing. I love that. He said weekly surveillance for sure, Mom's car.

02:04:13
Speaker 1: We were looking at it.

02:04:13
Speaker 3: That's I just didn't know if you had a thought you wanted to finish with Mom's car before we left. Oh no, that was it.

02:04:17
Speaker 1: That was it. That was as deep as though win.

02:04:24
Speaker 3: It goes super deep, apient fools. Here is the weekly breakdown. I put on a spreadsheet. I didn't actually I wish, But how does Mom's car get all the servicing that you're talking about? When I go to take my car to get service, I also do moms, which I have not been doing. In the drive both cars there and lies and you can drive both cars.

02:04:48
Speaker 2: Yeah big time. Because again you guys said, we operate different Our species operate differently. We can sit men can sit in the chaos and the clutter women can't. Yeah, so you going to take your car back? A every time I do it, I'm gonna get your sweetheart. She'll be living in the clutter so much longer because she's waiting on you to go do yours and then she's like, hey, when you doing your vehicle because I just gotta figure out what mine's happening. You're not gonna do it anytime, sooning like, I can just go do it myself. Do you see the issue that could be is this like a wait you're saying.

02:05:27
Speaker 3: You're saying she's gonna be frustrated because I go to do my car and she's gonna be like, when are you gonna get my car?

02:05:34
Speaker 7: No?

02:05:34
Speaker 3: No, do you understand what I'm saying? Yeah, one hundred percent. I think the biggest thing is that we want you to think through your pledge a little more. Not in a bad way, yeah, but just because if you're taking your car to get serviced, that means her is not going to get serviced at the same time if you have them together, unless you're doing a hitch situation. Otherwise, Oh, that would be like like his mom's getting serviced. What is it called bi weekly? Yeah?

02:05:56
Speaker 1: Every other week.

02:05:57
Speaker 3: Yes, bi weekly is every other week, like, so we'll say it's bi weekly. To where you're checking on the maintenance.

02:06:03
Speaker 2: You go in, you know what, it's kept up pretty nice, doesn't need a car wash, ts are tires are in there this weekend. I don't need to do it. Let's just say it's happening once a month. To where you're you're you're in your pledge. It sounds like you'd be doing her car before you do yours.

02:06:23
Speaker 3: You know. Derek actually brings up a really good point. I'll look into it. I'll look into it. Okay, good pledge for the first thing that comes to mind, stagger, the stagger the weekends. Yeah, she has her card maintenance weekend. I have mine. And if it's every other then it's bi weekly. You just got to figure out what you're playing. Yeah, because right now, if you just say whenever I do mine, i'm gonna do hers, like I'll look into it, it could feel kind of empty. Oh for sure, I mean I'll I'll look into it. I'll look into it. Okay, that's all we can ask for. Yeah, Yeah, this is powerful, This feels good, isn't it? Take your trash out? We love you, we appreciate you. Pet sickos Out
