This is going to be supplying them with the necessary tools to get these kids gifts, toys, get their families gifts and toys here around the holidays, but also take care of these kids all year round. So first way to do it directly donate on BWTB dot com. There's a link on our site. Or if you are looking to get some merch, some FTD merch.

Yeah, And she asked, last night, can I go work out at six in the morning. Absolutely, of course you can. I'll probably be back around seven. Help get everything roll. And I'm like, I got to hit four of the dads. I got to hit our podcast. The podcast starts at eight. We usually rock between eight eight fifteen.

And we'll both go up together to wake up the kids, to wake up Scott Zilla and Rue, Yes, didn't happen. So last night, middle of the night, two one thirty two in the morning, I hear on the monitor Rue's crying, she said, usually Charles the one who hears first. Dad's second, mat here Tarl picking it up. And I just hear Rue. She's not crying loudly, but kind of like maybe she had a bad dream and she's just sad.

00:12:58
Speaker 6: Text and we started what was that two weeks I said, I said the first one and everyone goes good morning, good morning, and then forty five minutes later to text from Wheel going oh, we're starting that today.

00:13:09
Speaker 1: And that's been the extent. Yeah. I was like, well, that's the end of that. That's true, that's true.

00:13:15
Speaker 2: Chalk it up to me not texting you this morning that yes, we need to be better as a team. We need to be better as a team. I Jill is sick, and yesterday I went into full panic mode trying to figure out a way for us to record this today and not even realizing Derek said it beautifully off Mike earlier. Oh, I already pay for a system that watches my kids daycare, and I was like, we'll just take Scarlet to daycare an extra day check Scarlet this morning she did not have a fever. I don't have a fever. Jill is dead. Jill's basically she and shout out Jill. I love Jill, Jill shout out you. I will say this about Jill.

00:14:05
Speaker 1: You're feeling shitty.

00:14:06
Speaker 2: She has left work for as long as I've known her. She has left work only one other time. So I know it ain't good, and so I come home or sorry. I get a text from Jill yesterday. She basically says I'm dead. I'm leaving work. I'm like, ok good, okay, start playing with you guys. I panic, and then I quickly realized, okay, we can put Scarlet in daycare tomorrow. We got that figured out. Now, let's just take care of Scarlet and take care of Jill. So I go pick up Scarlet from daycare. I come home. Jill has been home since three point thirty and has been passed out in bed.

00:14:44
Speaker 1: She's just asleep.

00:14:47
Speaker 2: I go to the nursery and the door's not coming, and I'm like, what the fuck is going on with the nursery door. Look down, the carpet is all like outside of the door, Like there's no carpet on the outside of the nursery carpet on the inside of the nursery, but it's all sticking out of the door, Like, what the fuck's going on?

00:15:05
Speaker 1: Here?

00:15:06
Speaker 2: Lay my shoulder into the nursery door. Wriggly explodes out of the nursery. So Jill locked Wriggly in the nursery.

00:15:15
Speaker 1: All day long.

00:15:15
Speaker 2: There's shit and pasts everywhere. Good, good Scarlet, because she wants her, you know, attention. So I go get the carpet cleaner, and I'm cleaning the carpet and I got Scarlet up on the changing table with my hand right there, and I'm scrubbing the carpet. Jill's dead in the bed. I uh go, I go make Scarlet's her bath. Bath time goes great. Then all of a sudden, she decides she doesn't want to eat her bottle, which she has never done at nighttime. That's her favorite bottle. And for parents at home, you know, that is one of the most important bottles, because one of the most important.

00:15:54
Speaker 1: If they've been in a routine the whole time, your head spinning like what is happening, I'm like you, this is We've made it, We've made it. I'm also thinking in the back of my mind, if she does not eat at least five and a half ounces, she is going to wake up in the middle of the night hungry and piss, which means I will wake up and I already have a five thirty and you're gonna piss. I'm gonna be pissed.

00:16:14
Speaker 2: I already have a five thirty wake up call tomorrow just to get her two daycare so I can be here on time. So I'm like, Scarlet, we are not taking no as an option tonight. You will drink your bottle. So I open upip Doog, I open up her Merlin, I open up her Onesie, and I get a wet wipe. This might I don't know if this is abuse, but I think it's a dad hack, and I'm just wiping her chest with the wipe to wake her up. She was basically just falling asleep and not eating her bottle, and I have the lights on, I had music on, and I'm like, Scarlet, eat your baba, eat your baba, and she wouldn't wake up. So I am doing this wet wipe on her chest and it keeps on waking her up enough to where she's like, oh, yeah, I need to eat ball gold set a time. Yes, that ended up working. We got six ounces in her. Once we got six ounces, I say good and put her in the crib. Then I go into the bedroom and I just hear and I'm like, oh, honey, are you okay? Jill's dead, and.

00:17:26
Speaker 1: What do you need?

00:17:26
Speaker 2: I need thailand all, I need ice, I need.

00:17:28
Speaker 1: Water and blah blah blah. I'll go get that.

00:17:31
Speaker 2: I go get all of her stuff, and then I'm like, oh my god, I can't go to bed because Jill is usually the one shout out Jill who preps all scarlet stuff for daycare. I gotta make Scarlet's bottles for tomorrow. I gotta pick out her outfit. I gotta get all of her stuff. So I make all the pre make all the bottles.

00:17:48
Speaker 1: At what point do you put the eye black on?

00:17:50
Speaker 4: Oh?

00:17:51
Speaker 1: Where you're like, you know what? I gotta do all this and you just start looking in the mirror. You put the eye black on, and it's like, let's get to work.

00:17:58
Speaker 2: Pull up coach a picture of his black in college. That's where I was at, damn near black face. I put die, my God, and then I grabbed my hands and the smeared on my face.

00:18:12
Speaker 1: I said, you ain't going to bed to night. I said, we fucking got this. It's gonna be good.

00:18:18
Speaker 2: And I washed all the bottles and I prepped everything, and then I made the bottles and I put them up. And then this morning execution was perfect. We got Scarlet out of the crib, We got her in her new outfit.

00:18:32
Speaker 1: Bottle bottle bottles. She drank the whole thing. Get her to daycare.

Rico getting dough, Rico getting dough. I have one from Tim Reams. My name is Tim Rems. Hey, how are you.

00:22:48
Speaker 2: I've been in professional Oh shout out Rizzo apparently has been throwing our stuff everywhere in the MLB. Because we got it, we got another MLB guy, Tim Reams. He said, hey, how are you? My name is Tim Reens. I've been in professional baseball since twenty twelve. For the last seven years, I've been at the major league level as a big league bullpen catcher. My wife and I just had our first child, a baby boy. He's four months old, and he is our first Any advice. We love listening to the podcast as well. I look forward to hearing from you guys soon. Tim Rems, Yo.

00:23:24
Speaker 1: That is awesome. Just casually writing in writing a comment, he casually also, I played professional baseball. I'm in the MLB.

00:23:33
Speaker 2: Correct me if I'm wrong, Darren. He casually bought a bunch of merch too, did he not? Was he the MLB player that also storied like merch on his story? I believe he got some busts and.

00:23:45
Speaker 1: Eighty's to double check that.

00:23:48
Speaker 5: We had a first form athlete who was a hockey player buy some stuff too.

00:23:52
Speaker 1: But I can I can I'll make a list of all our people.

00:23:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, form energy.

00:23:56
Speaker 1: What was the advice he said that he has. How old is theirs?

00:23:59
Speaker 2: Four months old?

00:24:00
Speaker 1: Four months old? This is up your rally, like you know, for me, if I'm remembering again, the time flies. So the fact that Scotty's won Roust three, I like think back to those dog days of a four month old four month old, like he's right around. Are we getting him down for twelve hours at a night. Are you still doing the night feeds? That's like a war that's going on. Yes, because four months is around where they can sleep through the night. If you've been, if you've been doing any of the sleep training philosophies that are out there.

00:24:28
Speaker 2: I would say this to Tim because this is my lesson of the week as well.

00:24:32
Speaker 1: And we'll get into this.

00:24:34
Speaker 2: But if anybody knows this more, it's going to be Tim Raims, who is a bullpen catcher. There are sometimes when you are down and out and you got to call in the lefty and you got to get them warmed up. You gotta be ready to go in there and not only pitch a hell of the game, but you could even win the game. Be ready for when they call the lefty and get you in there, because my my wife is an absolute sicko. And this morning and last night reminded me of that, of just like, holy shit, there is so much that I have to do to cover for my wife. She is kicking, asked daily how does.

00:25:15
Speaker 1: She do it?

00:25:16
Speaker 2: And you're on the mound now, and I'm on the mound now, And now it's like, Okay, not only am I not only am I out here trying to win the game, but it's for guts and glory too. Because I'm looking at our uh, our formula thing, and it's a different type of formula than what we've been using. I'm second guessing myself. I'm like, yo, where's the usual, fam.

00:25:40
Speaker 1: When you're looking around like a deer in headlights looking at coach on the sideline or in the dugout, the look back is this is what we prepare for week in and week out. I don't know why you're staring at me this, Nay, why are you looking at me? There's formula right there. What are you gonna do? The starter's hurt, The starter's is bad right now, Tarter's hurt. This is the next man up mentality? Yeah, there should be no drop off if you want to be a big leaguer, there's no drop off when your number gets.

00:26:05
Speaker 2: Called yes, And what kind of shit are you going to be throwing on the mound? What kind of nasty shit are you pitching?

00:26:12
Speaker 1: And if you're one of those guys that's deer in headlights looking around thinking you're prepared, thinking you're talking a big game about that life and everything else, when the starter goes out, how are you going to perform? And if again, if you're looking around for somebody to save you, you haven't been doing enough.

00:26:30
Speaker 2: And there is going to be a four month old, mean son of a bitch staring you down at home plate saying what do you got?

00:26:38
Speaker 1: Dad? As, what the fuck do you got?

00:26:41
Speaker 2: Because I'm either going to and send it out of the park or you're gonna strike this shit out?

00:26:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, what you got? Yeah? Stan your nats in the A gap staring at you in the A gap And what I'll say too? It's like with the one in three. Now I think back to those early months where it's chaos at all time. There's the hard point, hard moments throughout all of childhood, all of childhood. Now as a dad, that h has. Youngest is now one who can walk. Who looks at a cabinet, it's like, oh, hey, this cabinet's unlocked. This cabinet's open, and there's everything's in the cabinet. Why would everything be in the cabinet. Let me throw it all over the goddamn living room.

00:27:25
Speaker 2: Oh and hey, that's not a cabinet. I think that might be a ladder.

00:27:28
Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, all the cans and bottles of water and everything is eye level here in the Patriot. What's it doing on the shelf. It should be all over the floor. Oh is that glass?

00:27:38
Speaker 2: Let's see if I can break it.

00:27:39
Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, Dad had just filled up a fresh bowl of water for waffle. She's not thirsty. She likes drinking it off the floor. As that Dad. Seeing that now, I just think to myself, cherish the times where they're they're they're not mobile and you could just bounce them in a little chair. Yeah, and watch the show whatever, put the subtitles on it, whatever it is. They're immobile. Yeah, enjoy those moments because it just gets more chaotic.

00:28:04
Speaker 2: Oh, your dog shit and piss everywhere on the carpet. But it's close enough to the changing table, that you can put scarlet on the changing table and keep your hand on scarlet while you clean good because what if she's what if she's where would I put her?

00:28:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, and scott Zilla, anytime we're prepping the oven, doing something on the stove, putting food in the oven, whatever it is. Anytime she hears dinum, because we're getting everything heated up, she can now get She's able to reach all those knobs, so all she does. I set it for three seventy five. She tries to wheel it to five hundred. She's pressing buttons. Now I'm getting orange lights blinking because the oven is shutting down or speaking a language I don't understand, and I just gotta turn everything off and wait for like five minutes until I'm like, all right, let me see if I can heat up this food again, or if I can get the oven preheated. Because once she hears dinum, she's over there. She's mentioned with the knobs and I looked down. I'm like, Scottie, stop and she's just like looking up at me. I'm like, no, no, you don't get it. Grab her by the arms, take her over to the take her over to the living room, sprint over to the oven, get the oven where I want to, and then I just sit there like a linebacker in the eight gap while she tries to walk over. She tries to move, tries to like slide in between my legs. She starts getting upset, and I'm like, this is welcome to the show. You're not getting by the oven.

00:29:23
Speaker 2: Welcome to the show.

00:29:25
Speaker 1: It's one of those others too. It's like the knobs are on like if I'm if this is the oven, this is the top part you open the door to go in. The knobs are like sitting right there on the side, so she can kind of grab the handle and mess with the knobs and push the buttons.

00:29:37
Speaker 2: Oh perfect, God, Oh you're your house goes into auxiliary heat because it's so cold outside and now your nursery's eighty four degrees. If you think that your baby's gonna die and you don't realize that till ten o'clock at night, you don't do a good job of checking the nana app because usually your wife does, but now she's dead. If I went in there, I closed the heat vent and I put a fan in there, and we got down to seventy four real quick. Yeah, so, Tim, welcome to the show. You've been in the show. You know exactly what needs to be done. Be ready for when they call them the lefty. Yeah, Tim, there's your advice. Don't be the motherfucker deer in headlights staring at your wife asking what do I do in this situation? Ask your questions now as you're watching at home right now, and you might be one of these dads.

00:30:30
Speaker 1: Let the wife the milk team sixers. This is the opportunity to or hey, this is what this is the page I want you to be on and from that moment, from that conversation, dad, sit there and listen this again. They're the starters. We think we handle all this shit. They know what it is for real. Yeah, you have to figure out a way and get on their level. I'd like to come home to a clean kitchen. I'd like to come home when I'm out for an hour and you're watching kids. You know, I love the toys being picked up. I'd love for you to pick up the toys. Yeah, how hard is that? I'm sitting there last night watching Monday night football my watch, Like, could you just not like you got a couple of toys, right? Here on the floor, do you just you enjoy just is it comfortable just sitting in the chaos or sitting around the clutter?

00:31:13
Speaker 2: Hey, will do you just like looking at the toys on the ground.

00:31:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's on her hands and knees putting them in there. And then that kind of guilty conscience work. I'm going to continue to watch football because I've already kind of made this bed, and just tell her I was born in the chaos. This is easy for me. But usually it's like when she's up there, say say, I'm doing Scotty and she's doing a rue and she has a longer time with the ruin and I get done with Scotty, I come downstairs. I see toys on the flour. The game. The mission men is get all the toys cleaned up, put them under the table, put them back in cat whatever, the shelves, baskets, whatever, you guys have, Yeah, have that done. So when they come down, it's a clean living room and you got a fresh glass of ice water sitting there for you, ready to roll. Let's go. That's what it is, boys, That's what it is.

00:31:58
Speaker 2: And when and when you're four month old takes a deep seven hundred foot bomb. It's a homer off. You don't don't go like this, don't go hold little shit. Oh fuck yeah.

00:32:11
Speaker 1: And when your numbers called for bath time, because it will be it will, you gotta be ready to go. I'm still the dad that if I can get away of another day at bath time without mom bringing it up, I might try to sneak in another day at bathtime. I was not taking a bath a hundred But when Mom's like, oh it's let's just say, hey, it's Sunday, they need a bathtey, or they went swimming lesson today, they need a bath. Once that said, you're ready to pick up and do your thing, Hey, I will. I will execute bath time because again even for a four or five month old, like even for the young ones, they just sit in a little thing. You get them wet. It's a very fast bath routine. If you toys get involved in there, they love to swim, they love the splash. Now you're negotiating how long you're gonna stay. Do you want dad and to pull the drain? And you want to pull the drain. But what women are really saying is they would like you to just be the guy who says, you know what I think, tonight's bath. Now I'm gonna go give him a bath. I haven't got to that point yet, and hand up, I can just say it. As Charles's listening. She knows that I'm not that guy. I had the buster chops the other night when I was getting ready for bed, and she reached out to the monitor and was looking at the monitor, looking at Rue Ruse. She now has her own little twin bed, right, so no sides or none of that stuff. And so Charles was like, looks like Ru's about to fall off the bed and kind of like makes a chuckle, and I just look at her. I was like, does this mean you want me to go up there and adjusts Rue or are you just making that comment. We're gonna kind of laugh out out and I'm gonna crawl in bed. We're gonna snuggle together and way to go to sleep. Yeah, yeah, because I don't. She's like yeah yeah. She's like, I mean you can't if you want. And I'm like, you gotta tell you have to tell me. Women, Hey, we can't read your minds, Like, you have to tell me. I know of a couple things, Charle, does it. I I just know when my number is being called. Yeah, like Charo, get home, We'll get home. We went hook pictures with sand It the other day. We get home. Charles wanted to change into her comfy clothes, like get you know, dressed down everything else, and she just says to Rue out loud, Rue, I gotta go change right now. And I also still have to clean out the backpack. I also still have to clean up the backpack. So whenever I change and clean out the backpack, then we can play together me. That's cue. I'm on the couch right now, phones in my hand, or maybe I'm getting the game on because it's it's Sunday. Yeah, I think in my head, Oh, this right here is cue. Gentlemen, go clean out the backpack. That's Charles's doing something. Charl might be putting away the leftovers in the fridge. And I'm sitting there on the couch and I hear, uh, my wife talk to Waffle. Think Waffle can talk to her back or English bulldog that's sitting by the door. Oh, Waffle, do you need to go outside? Do you need to go potty? I will get you to go out. I'll let you outside. Whenever I'm done putting away the leftovers. Me sitting on the couch. Oh some, I'm sm That doesn't mean Charles's gonna put away the leftos and go and take her outside. That means, hey, Dad, you hear me saying what your dog needs to go outside? Why don't you get your lazy ass up and go let the dog outside. Yeah, that's called an out loud sub tweet from your wife.

00:35:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, which Jill often will subtweet me to do the exact same thing, exact same thing. She's making chicken and dumplings two nights ago. Oh my head hurts. Oh, I feel like shit. I don't feel good. I think dinner's about to be ready. I hope you know, I'll go take it off the stove or whatever. When the alexa goes off, I have to get Scarlet to battime. Oh my head, I feel like shit. I finally I go oh ding ding ding Dad, Help Dad?

00:35:49
Speaker 1: Just sitting there? Have you seen inside out? Yes? Yeah, bro rowing the dad's brain throw sitting there like they're like, what the hell is she talking about it?

00:35:59
Speaker 2: I finally know, Hey, you know what, it's six point twenty. I'll get her bath going. I'll I'll do bathtime with Scarlet.

00:36:08
Speaker 1: I'm sure.

00:36:08
Speaker 2: Jill and her it's like, what a novel idea, What a great idea, Sherman, Do you hear me?

00:36:14
Speaker 1: I feel like, hell, we got to bathe our daughter and I'm doing dinner. Alexis telling us it's time to take the food off the stove. Oh, a Lexus going off. I feel like shit. Would like to not have to get up. Yeah.

00:36:26
Speaker 2: Oh, I have to wake up at five tomorrow morning because I work all day at the hospital and I'm gonna be feeling like shit. I'm just over there on the couch.

00:36:34
Speaker 1: Just yeah. And men, this is the way our wives talk to us. And a few things happen here in a man's brain. You feel the indirect, subliminal messages because they're not directly speaking to you, and you're just thinking, if you just tell me, I would know, And they're thinking, if you just know, I don't have to tell you, because these are some of the simplest things, and when we don't do those things in their brain, that's the only way they can kind of get around to talk to us or get our attention. And so a couple of things happen. You're either going to sit there, we identify and know they're calling me out right now, and they can't say it to my face, but they're calling me out right now. You can either boil and get a little angry and start to get a little passive aggressive back. Oh that sounds fun. Yeah, you can do that. Olve it. I'm telling you. Just a slippery slope. Boys, it's a slippery slope, and sometimes you might win. But we all know at the end of the night or at the end of the day or the next day when you're driving, you don't feel good about yourself that it got to that point. Yeah, but there's another thing that can happen. You can just sit there with our dumb brains when we finally figure it out, and you can just smile and you can say, good, it's my time. It's like my numbers getting called and I got to show up. Not only do I got to show up and hear the room and hear our wives talking to us, but also let's try to figure it out and get better so this doesn't have to continue to happen. Is it going to continue to happen? Yes?

00:38:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, every day, every single day, it will continue to happen.

00:38:08
Speaker 1: Like we're watching the game. The little emotions in our brain. They're all sitting in our brain watching the game. We have no clue what's actually going on. Yeah, but if you can just have some awareness, yeah, and hear what's being said, they'll tell you. They just hate telling you a hundred different times and in a hundred different ways. That's true. Hey, the signs are there.

00:38:30
Speaker 2: And often I will tell my wife, well, maybe if you had just asked me nicely, you know, a while ago until instead of there we are now, maybe if you just asked me nicely. Oh so I didn't ask you one, two, three, four, five different times and then I rewind and I go, oh shit, you know what she did.

00:38:48
Speaker 1: The signs were there.

00:38:50
Speaker 2: The signs were there, but I digress. Yeah, that's your advice, Tim, Yeah, Tim, thank you for Hey, Tim, thanks for listening to the show.

00:45:38
Speaker 5: Yeah, yesterday we So my fiance works late on Mondays, and so I have a fantasy league where if you score a hundred points on a guy, they have to buy you a pizza. So last night, she's working late, she's gluten free, all's lining up to go to show pizza in East O.

00:45:51
Speaker 1: Super excited. Take a new way home. It turns into one.

00:45:54
Speaker 5: Of those off ramps where everyone tries to line up next to each other, and I get a run off the road basically into a pothole, and dude tired.

00:46:02
Speaker 1: Done.

00:46:02
Speaker 5: So I drive about four minutes to a church parking lot. Spend a half mind you, the pizza has been ordered. The pizza has been ordered. I have to pick up in two minutes. Spend about a half hour in a church parking lot last night, from like five point thirty to six changing this tire. So put my doughnut on, get the tire in there, take a picture post my stupid little funny caption. If you don't have to change your tire, you gets even thirty degree weather. And I'm just sitting there and I'm nextiting. Cat knows me, and she's like, well, just breathe like it's fine. I'm like, no, like it's it's it's good, Like it's good, it's good. Is it good that I have every penny budgeted out for Christmas gifts and now I gonna buy a fucking tire but five home, it's great, it's honestly amazing.

00:46:41
Speaker 1: So we do that. I get the fucking pizza. It's cold.

00:46:43
Speaker 5: Now I go home and just upset and I'm just sitting there and she comes home and I will say Cat came home on a FaceTime with her sister, and I was just like, let me talk to the fucking kids. I was like, let me talk to the niece and Evian and she shut around and the nephew has the t Rex face on.

00:46:56
Speaker 1: He's going.

00:46:59
Speaker 5: And Amelia said she was in a pageant. She's a little miss the area of the world, like she was in a parade. She's dreaming about that. How cool it is. I was like, thank God for these kids, because like I was just sitting there so mad because it wasn't my Like, She's off, I want to get a pizza. Why do I fucking want to get a pizza? I was angry, but it ended up being a really good situation. It was a nice little ground and the.

00:47:21
Speaker 1: Ball club put up over one hundred points. I'm getting a free pizza, oh yeah, and now I'm paying for it. Go out to pick it up and get right off the road. The minimum is, yeah, fifteen in this league. And I said, if you guys can find me a fifteen dollars fucking pizza, then I'll buy that pizza. Impossible.

00:47:37
Speaker 5: So I was already in the hole, and now I'm in the hole more all because I wanted a stupid little pizza.

00:47:42
Speaker 2: And then the I wish the call had been recorded between us, because I call him realizing I can just take Scarlet to daycare. Why am I freaking out? Because we're coming up with this hole for the audience at home. We're coming up with the plan of Sherman will be home with Scarlet watching and zoom in and we'll try and do this blah blah blah after our phone call. This is after our phone call. Okay, this is after our phone call. I then realized, oh, I can take Scarlet to daycare. So then I called Derek to then tell him, Hey, I'm gonna take Scarlet to daycare, I think, blah blah blah to check in with him, and I start off the call with, Hey, how's it going, And he then tells me about the flat tire situation, and in the background you just hear Scarlet going and I just go, well, Derek, you know, it sounds like we're both doing great. So I can't wait to see you tomorrow and give you a hug. Everything's okay.

00:48:42
Speaker 1: God for the dads, Man for the dad's of the Brand's here bro for the dads. I already know Surean was trying to figure it out last night because we were on and off the phone, and I'm basically just like, whatever you say you can do, we're gonna have to get done. But I know, getting on the phone, I know getting off the phone, Sure Sharm feeling whatever energy I had, He's thinking, it doesn't feel like it's good enough because I did. It's almost like I didn't have the daycare situation in my head because I wish I would have brought that up. Now that it got brought up, yeah, to like take them there, because more of like after Sharm comes up and he's kind of asking about it or alluding to, hey, wife's sick he had talked to wife yet and trying to figure out a plan, game plan for tomorrow. I was like, well, you're bringing me a problem. Do we have the solution? And this is after you know, going six hours on the bus and everything else. My brain is just like all right, I got about before to get everybody's brains are fried. Yeah, And I'm like, hey, you figure out a solution whatever whatever we can do. If we have to move it, we have to come in tomorrow night, and then the boys are just gonna have to grind through getting this out so that way it can land at Wednesday morning as everybody's listening to this right now. Whatever we got to do, let's just however you can come up with the solution, we can figure it out. The only thing I was, I guess I felt like we didn't turn over every stone yet when you brought up the zoom and everything else last night to do the zoom on the bus is I got off the phone saying to myself, we don't even know what Jill has said yet, because you said you still hadn't talked to your wife. It still hadn't talked to my wife yet. But I know you're in the you're in your own trenches. Oh so I don't want to make a situation feel like, make you feel shitty getting off the phone, But I'm thinking, bro, there's gotta be a way that we could do it in person, and if we can't, then at least we would know, based on your conversation with Wifey that we truly would not be able to do it. And when I didn't know, it was more of like this, uh, Jill Zilla Jill zil. He hasn't even talked to Jill yet. Yes, and he's like, this is the solution. It's like, we don't even know if we can't yet, but hey, if this is all we can do, well you will have to do it on zoom.

00:50:55
Speaker 2: I'm also playing four D chess in my head because I'm having a meeting with these guys and we're coming up. Well, maybe Scarlet can come up to the office. Yeah, and you go like that, that's a real picture into your life. And then in my head, I'm overthinking and going, oh, am, I just gonna look like a dad that's using his kid for clicks in this situation. And how does that look to Jill's parents that I brought my kid up to the office while their daughter's sick at home.

00:51:22
Speaker 1: And I'm like overthinking. We got to see when team sixers ready to go on the other side. That's true, Coop, It's not like Scarlett would have would have been sitting here on camera with us. Yes, well, we got some fellows that are more than equip.

00:51:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true, all all said and done, had a great confidence.

00:51:40
Speaker 1: This was Yeah, this.

00:51:41
Speaker 2: Was the perfect situation of and wait to chalk it up like Will was very helpful. I told him, Hey, I am sorry that I'm not bringing any solutions, but it's more so I'm talking to you, less of Will my boss, and more so, hey, will you have kids and maybe experience this. I've never experienced this. What the hell do I do? And we had a good conversation of like, okay, there are some options, but all said and done, had a really good conversation with my mom. She has a best friend that lives in Nashville. We need a babysitter. We need a babysitter a billion person.

00:52:18
Speaker 1: We need a.

00:52:19
Speaker 2: Babysitter my wife or my wife. My mom is coming in town this week on Thursday to uh, like help with scarlet and stuff, so Jill and I can do another date night. But like our in laws and stuff flying in like.

00:52:33
Speaker 1: That's yeah, they live in Texas. They live in Texas.

00:52:36
Speaker 2: That's not realistic for the future. They do miss us and they want to see us, but yeah, like that stuff's great.

00:52:41
Speaker 1: But again for like young parents and young families who have young kids, and you're experiencing like, hey, we need to get back into doing date nights and thinking about us a little bit more because it's bogged us down. Have it just be kid kid kid or kids kids kids. Yes, you do need a rollodex of one of two babysitters that you feel like you can trust and call and that you know you're hoping that they would be available on a pinch.

00:53:02
Speaker 2: And so my mom has a best friend here in Nashville, and I was like, Mom, put the word out, give give me her number. But you reach out and because I'm sure that they have a rolodex of people that they trust. Yeah, because it is it's like very foreign. We love our network in Nashville. I love all this community that I have, But I feel some type of way I'm not going to call Jared Beeman and his wife to like, come watch my kid, because Jared's my coworker. He's not my babysitter. Like he's my friend, he's not my babysitter. So I want like an actual my title is I'm a babysitter is what I'm looking for. And we just have been dragging our feet on it. And it's a hard situation because if we're in Fort Worth, I could name thirty people that I would take their opinions in of who their babysitters are, and I would use their babysitters, like you just have that network. We don't have that here, but we do. We just got to dig for it and find it and be purposeful. And so that was the learning lesson from me.

00:54:05
Speaker 1: In the middle of the chaos, in the middle of the limited time you already have. So it's like, you know, the answers like Charles, like Charles having to figure out who can be Like when Audrey she's pregnant, so we're gonna lose her as a nanny. We're gonna have to figure out who, like, who's gonna be the replacement? We know that answer. I know that answer. Charles knows that answer. Charles like, well, I know I'm gonna have to be the one diving in and figuring out who the next nanny's gonna be in the middle of all the chaos of kids, a husband and wife, job, run the business, everything else. It's just like U he has legitimately like vetting people, just going through that process that you don't want to go through.

00:54:43
Speaker 2: And that's another good example of Jill very like subtweeting husband to help in this situation because she has brought up and we really need to find a babysitter. Man, we really need to find a babysitter. I really want to go on to date night if only we had a babysitter. And I'm sitting there driving, you know, nothing going on in my head, just going, yeah, babysitter would be good. Yeah, yeah, pick up the phone and find a fucking babysitter.

00:55:09
Speaker 1: Sure, man, what even so when I'll get into and we don't even get into arguments, I was gonna say, if I get into that argument with why we don't get into those argies.

00:55:17
Speaker 2: Well, and it wasn't. Yes, to your point, it wasn't an argument right.

00:55:20
Speaker 1: Right, But I'm saying if it gets if it's like I think to myself, sweetheart, I can find a babysitter, but I already know if I find it, like to me as dad, as male, as how my brain works. Yes, if you find a babysitter and you trust said babysitter, I'm not I trust you. Yes, So if the babysitter walks in, like I'm just trusting that we have a babysitter, yeah, my god, we got a sitter for tonight. If I find a babysitter, or if dads are the men, I feel like, find the babysitter. No matter what, Mom's gonna want to vet and feel very good about said babysitter. So I think a million this you'll have to you might as well rip this because no matter what, you're gonna want to feel just as good as I do about said baby. There's no world where I get the babysitter. This person that you don't know walks in the door. You're thinking, like me in this situation, we just get in the car and go because you're like, oh, I trust a trust hubby here that he just landed this this awesome babysitter that neither of us know.

00:56:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, how did you venom?

00:56:20
Speaker 1: They love college football?

00:56:21
Speaker 2: Honey, she's a big college football, she's great.

00:56:26
Speaker 1: How did they land the job? She said, go big Red? And I was like, you think dyl Real is gonna hit the portal? Good insight about it. Let's say you go over miles anytime.

00:56:38
Speaker 2: And truly and yes, I know, if I pick out a outfit for Scarlet, her feet will be covered, she'll have a cuebo, she'll have a cute whatever. But Jill is going to be like, hold on, hold on, what are we doing using this outfit. She needs sweater, blah blah blah. You know what you dress the kids, So you dressed the kid. So that's how I think at my head of if I picked the babysit. There's gonna be multiple notes on top of that, which is fine, But I'm automatically assuming, oh, that's a jill job, because sh'll want final check and say.

00:57:11
Speaker 1: Of who we hire. Yeah, let's let's take out Let's separate the person from the problem. Let's separate the idea of does the man do this or the woman does this? Like who's the most equipped, Like who's going to be the most detailed in handling this said job? Yeah, because if I interview, you're gonna be interviewing me on the backside. And then reminded me of questions that I forgot to ask or didn't ask. Hey, you seem like the one you said that the one most well equipped to handle this said job. Yes, and again there might be dads who absolutely rip that job and have are the ones that the land of the baby. So I have no clue. I'm just talking more from my if. When char brings it up, I hate Sweeter. I know this is gonna be this could be one that I could do. Look, I could do this, but if I do this, here's what I would like not to happen, because if you were doing this on the back end to me, I'm just say making in my head you might as well just go ahead and fill this role. Or at the very beginning, Hey, honey, I would love to take on this job. Tell me all the tempoles that I need to hit as far as babysitter, and I'll find that fucking baby. And then from that moment forward, let me own my job. Yes, let me own my role.

00:58:18
Speaker 2: Let me be great, which Jill, Jill Will allowed that, but I need to ask that upfront of like what, Okay needs to be a registered nurse. Got it needs to be local. Got it needs to you know.

00:58:30
Speaker 1: Look at this man just trying to figure it out and solve it. That's out there, Like yeah, yeah, go Willy, he shout out.

00:58:42

So people in that world you're trying to keep them awake to drink the bottle. That sounds like a great dad hack.

00:59:31
Speaker 2: She didn't sound miserable like when I was, you know, like she wasn't crying or anything. It would rouse her enough to be like that's the game.

00:59:38
Speaker 1: There ain't no yeah, like whatever, whatever it takes, whatever it's wake your young ass up.

00:59:43
Speaker 2: They drink this bottle, drink this baba crack Okay, So crack a cold one, because what would it be if we didn't do a crack a cold one really quick?

Rue conquered her fear taking a photo with Santa smiled, and Scottie learned from her new fear. Yeah, she learned a new fear of Santa Claus. Okay, and it was incredible. I caught a little video and I already know to myself, I see Scotty hanging on mom a little tight. So you know, as dad, I know a funny moment's coming. Let me slide out the phone and get the video rolling, because I already know she's gonna start crying. Come on, boom, take Scotty, sit her on Santa Claus's lap, and you just see it all happen. Face starts to go, she starts to cry. I'm chuckling behind the camera and she just helplessly sits thinking she's about to this is her life, last moment on earth, as this gentleman in a red suit and white beards.

01:02:04
Speaker 2: Holding her will's behind the camera.

01:02:06
Speaker 1: Hey there he goes, got it, there you go. You means Santa Claus, you're doing some good. Oh dude. Rue was nervous, but she she met Santa. We took a family photo together, and then she wanted to do it a second time and her and Scotty. Scotty cried again. Yay. Rue conquered her fear with Santa Claus this year, good and Scottie learned her fear of Santa Claus this year. So it was it was perfect. That's a cold one worthy of cracking, sir. Yeah, do we want to get into Collins? Yeah, let's do it, man, let's do it. Let's get in the Collins again. You want to be featured on the show? Six and one of the dad's call in leave a voicemail, will feature on the show and we will send you some merchandise.

01:02:58
Speaker 3: Will Sherman's pulling this up? Real quick question for the audience. Did anyone listen to our Halloween story? Because if you did and you enjoy it, we'll do a Christmas one.

01:03:07
Speaker 1: But I want to make sure.

01:03:08
Speaker 3: We didn't get any comments on it when we posted it, so I don't know if anyone saw it. It was at the end of the episode. But I really want to do another because it was really fun.

01:03:16
Speaker 1: Hey, we posted the Halloween story and it got zero comments.

01:03:22
Speaker 3: People might have listened, we don't know, but we didn't get any. We didn't really, I personally in my head, did we get comments? I thought, oh, okay, we got comments.

01:03:33
Speaker 1: I personally in my head thought it was going to be some like AI animated storytelling happening, not just kind of like where it's just you know, a little song and then like what.

01:03:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we're gonna We're gonna expand on it. That was the first run.

01:03:48
Speaker 1: And then like when I'm doing my character, I'm envisioning what this character might look like when the YouTube rols out, But when it just kind of sat there on like a you know, like a desktop background with a little bit of music while the story just went, I'm like, hey, yeah.

01:04:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, and that that was on That was on me. But if we get a chance at a Christmas shot, we're gonna go big and it's gonna be great. But we just need to know if we want animation, I just need to do it early because it I don't know how to animate, but I'll figure it out.

01:04:18
Speaker 1: Yeah again, that was just what I was thinking in my head it was gonna be. We kind of knew when we put up.

01:04:22
Speaker 3: I was like this, it is like the low fi Youtubeah.

01:04:25
Speaker 1: But so if I got no comments, I'm almost like just so people reached out.

01:04:30
Speaker 5: I read through a lot of people send in pictures of uh like, we had a couple of people images that people having their kid watched the leaves fall and the story on and stuff like that, and people.

01:04:39
Speaker 1: Commented, okay, okay, I'm missing they did, Derek says. People reached out, I would you just your family the video and group chat and they just bumbed up it.

01:04:49
Speaker 2: No, I have a comment right here that says, Mila the bat fucking ribs.

01:04:52
Speaker 1: Way to go with it. Okay, way to go, Willie.

01:04:55
Speaker 3: I must have read him like right when the episode came out and then didn't bother because I.

01:05:02
Speaker 2: I don't want to who voice Benny the Puppy Academy Award where they I've there's like eight more.

Speaker 2: This one titled Bathtime Combos.

01:06:41
Speaker 1: What's up? Boys?

01:06:42
Speaker 4: This is Taylor from Idaho, Pt. Sixer now for I mean my little girl she is eighteen months old. Just need some advice here. My wife and I, as of the last I think eight or ten months, we've been making sure that we switch off bath time every night, right, So whoever does the bath, the other person does the dishes, and I won't lie. Shame on me. For a little while, I was always like a son of it's my turn to do the bath, right, But now I obviously I know that I need to not take the bad time for Granted, it's some extra special time that I get to spend with my daughter Emmy, And she's at that age where she's not like talking. She can understand me, but she's not talking. What the heck do I do in the bath with her? Do I just like down with third Do I just like singing some songs?

01:07:39
Speaker 1: Do I just like continue to play with the toys?

01:07:42
Speaker 4: I just you ot to do that and I just kind of hang out and chill like I don't know what to do, Like, how do I make that extra special for her?

01:07:49
Speaker 1: Am?

01:07:50
Speaker 4: I supposed to be teaching her things in the bath? What do y'all do for bath time? Do you let him hang out for a long time? Do you get the cleaning done and get out?

01:07:57
Speaker 1: Like? What what does bathtime look like? God? What a call in? Hey, this is a man that needs some help. He needs some help, like we all do.

01:08:11
Speaker 2: I don't even I don't even know how to answer that question because I'm trying to think what I do during bathtime?

01:08:17
Speaker 1: You just kind of play and talk to him like I'm picturing my man. What's his name, Timothy, Timothy from Idaho? From Idaho, Timothy, just picturing tim Just set the kid in the bathtub, and he's just kind of sitting there looking at her, just thinking, what do I do here?

01:08:33
Speaker 3: So?

01:08:34
Speaker 4: What?

01:08:34
Speaker 1: Okay, we clean the baby? What's next? Why what do you come downstairs? Baby's clean? Watched like you guys have fun a bast time. He's like, I think, I guess. I don't know. I just looked at her.

01:08:45
Speaker 2: I pour, uh, I need to record myself. I think I'm gonna record myself to where you just see me during bathtime to see what I do because I'm actually interested.

01:08:57
Speaker 1: I do a ton of baby talk. Yeah, I know that you're just sitting there kind of conversing with him, like yah, I'm picturing especially if Ru back when she was eighteen months, because he's in it. He's in a great he's in a great pocket for age. Like I feel like sixteen months sticks out as the month where Rue's personality really started to show up A little bit. Yeah, I'm just taking Yeah, eighteen months. You get your kiddo in the water, you know, is it too Oh it's not too hot. Oh, it feels just right. And you kind of slowly get him in the water. You're like, oh is that warm and cozy? And you take the little cup. You start like pouring it on their little body, like oh, here comes in on the right shoulder. Boop. You start getting their hair. Oh can I get you don't want it in your eyes? Let me block it. Can you look up a little bit? You gotta look up or water's gonna get in your eyes. You pour it on them. Oh look look at your toys, whether it's a little scrunchy ones that's just like letters, yeah yeah. Or we have a couple of little fish, a couple little things she can play with that are kind of connected to the side of the bathtub, or she can spin it or whatever. Again, trying to picture her at eighteen months old. Cascotti's won. We kind of have her sitting on that little yeah, like trike thing where they got a little that you set them on and those are quick, those are like quick bass right yeah, yeah, like you said there and you dump tho a cup on them. A couple of times. You get to soap with the rag. You go around there, you like sing them a song or play with them, or talk about splashing. It's like at that age too, Like Scotty, He's like, do you want to slash? Splas splashplash. You kind of show him on a splash and they spla, Oh my gosh, you love splash under the neck and then you know, soap their head, rub it.

01:10:25
Speaker 2: I uh, maybe a Dad Hack waterproof book. We got one at Target.

01:10:30
Speaker 1: Nice.

01:10:31
Speaker 2: It's fun, It's got little pictures in it. Then Scarlet's like just now being able to like hold things with both hands. I put the book in her hands and just holding it and putting it in her mouth instead of reading it. And I'm talking for Scarlet. Yeah, oh, Dad dies, I like this book. Oh really, Scarlet? Are you reading the book?

01:10:49
Speaker 1: Yeah? Doing such a good job. Tim strikes me as a man who he's confused on what to do when the job is so easy. But he seems like a man's man to where he's pretty reserved and doesn't say a whole lot of words, doesn't necessarily care to communicate his emotions, just wants to like feel pain or anger and kind of you know, stay quiet, be very internal. That's who he strikes me as. But this, yeah, this bath game is easy because you got to think to your flip the switch in your brain and think, I'm gonna sound stupid right now and I'm notoxious, but I'm gonna do it with my little girl. Yeah, that's all it is. Because Scott's Zilla. The difference between your ruin and Scott' Zilla rue. She would have to tilt her because she hates some one like water gets and rise and everything else. Scott Zilla. I'll dump the cup on her head. I'll don their water border a couple times because she's just sitting there. She she eats it, bro she eats it. I'll be dump it on her head. You know when you get a little curious, Okay, if a little bit gets on their eyes, like how do they react like smiles or whatever. And then I'm like, you know, get a little cup of water and then like dump it on her head and then she smiles. I'm like, okay, you got to mess with the water. Now, let's get a little action in here. Scotty.

01:12:00
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's exactly like Scarlet's like reaching at the I like, you know, pour the cup on her and yeah, she's like reaching for the water. Yeah, gets on her face and she kind of like shakes, but then she's like, okay, I want more.

01:12:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's another little dad hack in during bad time and she take the cup of water, gets you a big cup of water too, and just do like a slow pour in front of them. Or they have like that little stream and they just want to grab it and there figuring out what water is, what it feels like, Oh my gosh, is this going through my hand? How's it going around? Whenever I take my hand out, the stream still goes all the way down to the water with I can't grab it and pull it. And they're just kind of fascinating. You just stare at them, and Scarlett, is that water, Oh my goodness, are you thirsty? You can't drink it.

01:12:43
Speaker 2: It's got soaphy in it. And Scarlet, if her brain is telling her that looks like I could drink that. And so whenever I like pour it under like her neck, the entire time, she's going trying to drink it and I'm like, oh no, no, no, don't drink this.

01:12:58
Speaker 1: Oh. They take some scru she kind of put in her mouth. No, that's dirty water. You don't want to drink that. You don't want to drink that water. No, no, cut it out. Stop. Sorry, you're ruining batht No, we don't drink that water. Then water's better. You know that's dirty water? All right, okay, stop cut it out right now.

01:13:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you just want to go to bed, okay, baby, Thank you Timothy for Timothy Baby proving the Xmas tree.

01:13:35
Speaker 8: Santo Willie, I need some advice here. Maybe you guys could discuss this one on the pod. As you know, it's Christmas season.

01:14:14
Speaker 8: This guy wants to tear down on a Christmas tree. I've tried fences, I've tried putting it on a table. It's a bad News Bears type situation.

01:14:23
Speaker 4: Here.

01:14:24
Speaker 7: What's your Christmas tree proof of baby advice?

01:14:28
Speaker 1: What do you got for me?

01:14:30
Speaker 8: I need a life raft here because I'm about to go get my third Christmas tree because for some reason, these things they just keep getting fucked up. One of them was too pussy. I went too light and it fell fell off the stand. I'm not about to rebuild a stand. The other one had bugs in it. Kid had bugs in his hair and stuff.

01:14:52
Speaker 7: Bad News Bears. Maybe I gotta get a fake tree.

01:14:55
Speaker 8: I don't know the issue, but any baby proof Christmas tree advice, I hope you and a good merry Christmas brother.

01:15:04
Speaker 2: I hope you're good. Good luck, good luck with those bucks in the Christmas tree. But they're coming from every direction.

01:15:11
Speaker 1: Now, I hate it. I grew up a real tree kid. We'd go to the tree farm, we'd cut it down, my dad would, we'd my brothers and I we'd pretend to play deer Hunter six while we were out there running around looking for a Christmas tree. Yeah, and uh, but I'm a fake tree guy. Okay, I'm a fake tree guy. I hate to admit it, but it is what it is. Yeah, it's easier. You get it going up every year you put it back in the box. And it sounds like what he's dealing with the little demon. He sees a tree. This is King Kong now going through the jungle, ripping off the tree and everything else. To me, the first one is, well, you can get a fake tree, but I don't know how to 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 fine 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. I don't know how to stop my child from grabbing the ornaments on the Christmas tree.

01:16:23
Speaker 2: I have this off, I have this off.

01:16:26
Speaker 1: How high can she reach? I mean shit, but she can probably reach like and that's about three feet off to 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 they're kind of approaching them slowly, go ahead, surem.

01:16:50
Speaker 2: Okay, really quicks off target, has indestructible ornaments by the baby its own tree that it can fuck up and put the indestructible ornaments on it and just let them have it.

01:17:08
Speaker 1: Now, hang on these indestructible ornaments? Can you still take them off the tree?

01:17:13
Speaker 4: Oh?

01:17:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. What's wrong with that? Just ornaments all over the floor. That's okay. Still got to hang them back on the tree.

01:17:21
Speaker 2: It's still good.

01:17:22
Speaker 1: 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. They start smiling a little bit easy, she starts no, 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. And that's where the fake tree, the fake small tree comes in. Look at that little thing. Go fuck that thing up. Okay, I see what you're saying to me. No matter what, they're still ripping off, like if you get the indestructible ornaments, like, yeah, it sucks with the that ruse ornaments broken. But no matter what, she's ripping off ornaments from the thing, like, I still got to 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.

01:18:24
Speaker 2: 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 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.

01:18:50
Speaker 1: Does that make sense. Yeah, I want to get a gait a cage of some sort. Yeah, and just put Scottie in it. Like every time she gets involved in something, she's climbing up on rue stepstool. Now, Like I'll look over and I just see your little head popping up from the island and I'm like, God, Scotty, how'd you get over there? 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. Yeah, she needs to be like Ugga during the sec Ji chip game to where that's sitting in a kennel. You can't come outt is scott Zillo. She is ugg Yeah, Dane shev.

01:19:38
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry. Please, what was your thoughts on it?

01:19:42
Speaker 3: This might be a bad idea, okay, But as a kid, my parents under our tree we had in a little root Oflph 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 dat 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.

01:20:05
Speaker 1: You're probably just scared of the trains. No, I don't think so. I think you were a pussy. Your probably, Lama. You know it was like, I'm not gonna get rain over by the train. My number one shows was Thomas a tank Engine. I think you're kid, you were scared. I think you as a one year old you was a pussy. Chef, mamauck you in how many? How many bedtime cases did you get? Chef? I come to you with a solution. Your tea, Lama, Lama, Red Pajama? Was that your favorite book? Chef? No, well, chef, because if Scotty saw the train, that train's getting sucked up. Okay, I was about maybe it's the train.

01:20:58
Speaker 3: You buy the train knowing that the train's going to be a sacrificial lamb, and then you hang all the all the ornaments that are breakable. You don't want those stay above halfway up the tree line.

01:21:08
Speaker 1: Yeah. Then I look over and Scott's will be at the top of the tree tearning down the star. Yeah, you might be a shall you look up there? Scotti's up there? What you have?

01:21:20
Speaker 2: Kay Adams?

01:21:21
Speaker 1: In ten minutes? Okay you want to we can pick back up? Uh we I We're pretty much good the rock, aren't We're pretty much. I got a nice little I saw on Instagram post and then I I can read the lesson and.

01:21:34
Speaker 2: I have like a little lesson too or something I saw that was just.

01:21:37
Speaker 1: Like a great, great little reminder, great little prospective piece from my man too doing bath time, like, hey, enjoying bad time. I know I'm gonna miss bad time for me, the whole thing of bad time for me. It's just my little back just getting down on the ground. Yeah, Like I'll be the whole chest hanging on the side of the bath, like reaching my arms up because it's like sometimes I just can't stay lies and support my low back.

01:22:01
Speaker 2: You need the third arm construction worker apparatus. If anybody's seen that on social media, will be a little Christmas maybe a little Christmas gift all right here. This comes from Wealthy, Healthy and Blonde. The profile on Instagram. We're thirty. It's December and he asked me what I want for Christmas this year.

01:22:23
Speaker 1: Oh. I laugh and say, oh, I don't know. Sleep, Silence, sanity. He half smiles because we both know I can't have that. We're eighty now. It's December, and he asked me what I want for Christmas this year. I look at the tree filled with handmade ornaments, now decades old, they hang quietly, untouched. I look at the lights glowing across an empty floor, no longer full of toy cars, legos, and crumbs. I recall the years where everything felt alive, the squeals at sunrise, the torn open boxes, the little voice is yelling, Mama, come see me. I cry and say, oh, I don't know. Just one more Christmas when they were little. He have smiles because we both know I can't have that. And that's when it hit me. I got everything I wanted when I was thirty. Turns out I miss everything I had when I was thirty. The days are messy, but the years are magic, and you can't get him back, so enjoy them. That's a good one right there. It almost caught me on the last two slides.

01:23:32
Speaker 2: That is a good one. God, that's a good reminder of just yeah, enjoy the suck, Embrace the suck. Mine falls in that as well. Here's my lesson of the week. This week has been has reminded me of something simple but heavy. When man on man isn't working, you gotta switch to zone coverage. As a dad, sometimes your number one job is stepping up when you're partner can't. There are days where everything feels normal routines click, kid is fed, everyone's laughing, life is on the rails. And then there are days when your partner is exhausted, sick, mentally drained, burnt out, or just done. That's when it's your moment, not to complain, not to keep score, not to point out whose turn it was, but to silently step in, pick up the load, and carry it. Being a good partner isn't about even splits. It's about coverage. When one person is down, the other fills the space. That might mean doing bathtime without being asked, handling bedtime routines, solo cleaning the kitchen even when you worked all day running errands so she can lay down for twenty minutes, taking the emotional hits so she doesn't have to. It's not glamorous No one applauds you, but it matters because when your wife feels safe, supported and seen, your home becomes stronger. Your kids learned teamwork by watching it, and your marriage becomes less about surviving seasons and more about winning the seasons together. So Dad's this week, just pay attention. If she's struggling, step in, if she's overwhelmed, anchor the household. If she's running on fumes, be the refuel station. Not because it's your duty, but because that's what love looks like.

01:25:20
Speaker 1: In real life. Well done, well done, my friend great so today a.

01:25:28
