We enjoy having fun, whether you're in it, where you're preparing, whether you're preparing to be in it. We love fatherhood. We talked about our hugs and lows of fatherhood. We tell stories, but we also don't take ourselves too seriously. We are not experts. We just love having a good o silly goose time being dads, being husbands. We'll get into some conversations with the wife. He had a couple and I'm gonna have to I'll have to get corrected on the show. I'll have to get corrected on the show.

00:01:31
Speaker 1: And by the way, Chef Derek, you guys absolutely crush it, Shuram, I know you make clips as well. You guys crush it with making clips. But I had a comment or the other day that was talking like, well, you guys only get ten thousand viewers or something like he thought he was taking a shot and you know, like wear we're on what this is episode eighteen seventeen eight, this will be nineteen. As you're listening to AA is good. TVA for a new brand, a new pod is good. But also when you look at it the entire universe of Busting with the boys, like when you look at viewer viewership and then comment like the ratio of viewership and engagement for the dads is popping off, like the community of Papa Team six. And again, if you're a new dad, welcome to the Papa Team six PT six community. Yeah, you love to have fun on social media, we talk about Papa Team six being a PT Siko being a PT sixer. We also have the Semen Team sixers which Chef Chef Jack are guy in the back. He's the head of Semen Team six. Seeman Team six is you're not a dad yet, you're shooting for the love of the game.

00:12:55
Speaker 2: The comment was.

00:12:57
Speaker 1: Coming after you on Instagram, did you guys, I'm going back. I'm going back in the archives now. It was like removing Sharan from the show and it'll be much better. I wish I could have just grabbed that motherfucker by that.

00:13:10
Speaker 6: Through better And Will said, if I did that, I'd be working at the Cream.

00:13:14
Speaker 1: Yes, that's what it was.

00:13:17
Speaker 2: Described otherwise.

00:13:19
Speaker 1: Yes, that's what it was. That's what it was, and I'm sorry for the curse.

00:13:23
Speaker 2: And I know this.

00:13:23
Speaker 1: I know this a family friendly show. Maybe bleed me out chef when I dropped the MF like that, but that's.

00:13:29
Speaker 2: What it was.

00:13:29
Speaker 1: They came after Fat, they came after Fat. Well, they just came after Fat Stafford just randomly in totality, just randomly. I don't even know if you were. I forget what the clip was, but I don't even think Sherman was in the clip.

00:13:41
Speaker 2: Damn. That was the craziest part. He wasn't in the clips.

00:13:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, and listen, we talked about the hundreds that DM you now and I love how you engage and go back and forth with everybody on a personal level. So just all the people that fight for Fat Stafford just know there was somebody in the comments on my Instagram one of the clips that I host going after the Boy, do we mobum? There's gonna be new moments where we have to get PT six mobile.

00:14:07
Speaker 2: We haven't called upon the goombrats.

00:14:09
Speaker 1: Yeah minute, because I know dad's probably a lot of the dads that listen to the show probably aren't the most active on social media. I'm not saying that boomers anything else. I'm just saying the majority of people who root for you, they're not in the comments. They'll give praise every now and then, are when a big moment happens and talk about eyefil, or they'll DM you on the side or SG because they actually care and they are rooting for you. It's the haters that are loudest in any comment section. So it's we got to get the boy. We gotta get PT six focused at times because we love having fun on the internet as much as anybody, and we get them, mobilize and get them.

00:14:42
Speaker 3: The good The good news is we're recording this on a Friday. This episode won't drop until Wednesday of next week.

00:14:51
Speaker 1: I'll find this, I'll find the I'll find the comment. We get that way, we can put it on the screen and people know exactly where to get do I give them the full meme treatment? I think so so when memes memes. So when shirm former name on Twitter was see if be memes Zone, Oh yeah, it's a massive He made his name in the game making memes and meme videos and trolling and doing all this stuff. So if you're if you're wondering what is mem him to death mean, you'll have to follow scherm on x on Twitter and this is where you will see all this stuff go down. He'll start meming them. This where you flood, This where you get in the comments. We're looking to delete people, We're looking to get profiles the lete.

00:15:32
Speaker 5: You know.

00:15:33
Speaker 2: Now this is all coming back to me because when I saw that comment, I said, ah, I will put it aside because we know we love Sherman.

00:15:40
Speaker 1: I gues yes, but I usually I am good enough to do it. But for whatever reason, when they attack my boy, when I see just something just directed at one of the boys, you know, that's where it gets me sideways.

00:15:50
Speaker 2: You know what made me fucking laugh about that dude? I clicked on his profile and his bio was say something nice to someone. I swear to god, it was something along those lines. I chuckled. I said, wow, the irony must be lost on him.

00:16:05
Speaker 1: Bro. It was funny too. With a lot of those people who hate on the internet, you will click on their profile and it'll be something. Their bio will be something like that, like you know, positivity and wolf in sheep's clothing. Yeah, a wolf in sheep's clothing. Yeah, absolutely right. Let's get back to the comments. Yes, I kind of came to while I was looking while I was listening to you, and your laugh made me chuck on. I'm like, you know what, that's what that was? Well?

00:16:29
Speaker 3: I held I held back because his name was I am Jaysock. And I was going to say, speaking of forny middle schoolers with the J sock, we know about this, Will Jackson going yeah, if I held it in, and that's what made me laugh, And I was like, maybe not.

For the dads, I know, we get a lot of moms and a lot of wives and women kind of listening with their significant other. I love that the dads and the men are so tapped in that all these nicknames they kind of make sense or they might chuckle on.

00:18:26
Speaker 2: The wives are like, man, they just have so.

00:18:27
Speaker 1: Many, so many code names, so many nicknames, Like is this just what guys do? It is it's what the boys do when we need nicknames for everything. When I'm cutting clips, Speaking of cutting clips, I'm like some of the clips, when I look through the lens of somebody that doesn't listen to this podcast, I'm like, they think we're speaking another language. Oh yeah, if you got boomers out there to listen, which I'm sure some older dads out there listen, they're like, you know, there might be fascinated or curious in everything that we're talking about. We're also putting them on game. But all the young dads out there, the young the st sixers listening, even the goon gooner berets that are out the goom berets that are out there, like this is a this is the language in our world. I will very quickly, very quickly, got to keep it under an hour. And we do have comments to get through.

00:19:15
Speaker 3: We do have comments to get through. I got this video sent to me from a PT sixer. Uh, speaking of an older kind of boomer crowd.

00:19:25
Speaker 1: Uh.

00:19:25
Speaker 3: He went up to his coworker h and asked him if he caught the latest episode PT six and this is what he said.

00:19:31
Speaker 2: Have you seen this? No?

00:19:33
Speaker 1: I haven't.

00:19:33
Speaker 2: Okay, Yo, Carl, you catch for the Dad's podcast yesterday? What do you think I am a goon beret? Of course I did Will's lesson of the Week with straight gas. Homie knew you'd be on. Is that not crazy? That's crazy?

00:19:48
Speaker 1: Even the boomers, even the boomers.

00:19:50
Speaker 2: Wait, you think I am a goom beret.

00:19:52
Speaker 1: I thought you were gonna tell me too. Uh. He went up. We have an older gentleman who listens to the pod. He went up to his buddy and asked him if he could like teach him how to make a video so he can make a video for us. Incredible, Oh incredible, All right, let's die back in. Yes, Adrian Hernandez the second junior here, what's up? Boys? This on Instagram. My name's Adrian, new to Pt. Six. I'm a father to a three year old boy and a two year old girl. My wife just broke some horrible news to me. She said she's packing her bags and taking away the kids from me for the weekend. Wait, not the kid.

00:20:29
Speaker 3: Adrian's gonna have to be home, basically home by himself, having to just like take care of the house by himself.

00:20:37
Speaker 1: Wife's leaving, She's taking the kids for a weekend, and she won't be there to help him. Derek, it's here we go. He's got more, He's got more.

00:20:46
Speaker 2: Derek'sclus in his mind back there. It's all right, Derek.

00:20:52
Speaker 1: I was at a loss for words. I couldn't speak. How do I survive a weekend without them? We feel that been there? Am I just supposed to grab my favorite bottle whiskey and just play video games. I hate so much all weekend? Am I just supposed to enjoy the games now without interruptions. Football games. Oh god, it's football season. Any helper guidance would be much appreciated through this hard time. Anyways, cheers of the boys for the last and cries. I love how much emotion you open into these episodes. I'm gonna sincerely miss my wife and children as they leave for a weekend, and she basically rips the heart out of my chest and I have to hang out along for a weekend. I did we do joke around? We have a lot of fun on this podcast. Yeah, just give it a give No, that's all right, It's okay, chef, that's all right, chef.

00:21:50
Speaker 2: We don't blame you, but go on. We like to have a lot of fun. We like that. We like to have a lot of fun on this podcast. We like to joke around.

00:21:59
Speaker 3: One thing I do want to say, moms, First off, don't go out of town and don't take the kids with you.

00:22:07
Speaker 1: If there's one thing a dad needs and wants most, it's for their wife and kids to be in town on the weekend while football is on the TV.

00:22:16
Speaker 3: But you know what the that was what the kicker was because I was like, Hey, you know what, Adrian, you can make it through.

00:22:23
Speaker 2: It will be okay.

00:22:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, you might have to get that favorite bottle of whiskey, you might have to play that video game you hate so much. But then when I realized that she so selfishly chose a weekend in the fall, during football season to leave, Yeah, that's the part that hit home, Adrian.

00:22:41
Speaker 1: Man, tough times don't last. Tough people do. This isn't the right way to go about it, but it's a way that works for me at times, and it is. It's it's grab an ice cold butt, let out of the fridge. Yeah, crack it open. Yeah, kick your feet up in whatever couch, recliner, whatever you have. Man, Oh, watch that football because as much as you don't want to do it and don't like to do it while your wife and kids are out of town, that'll help keep you together and keep and keep the pain at bay. Yeah. Well, maybe get a full twelve hours, ten hours of sleep, Maybe stay up and play video games with your boys. There's not a wrong there's not a wrong decision to make in it during a time like that. Just know that we are all with you, and we are all thinking about you, and man, dads hate when their wife and kids go out of town for the weekend.

00:23:44
Speaker 2: Hey, Dree, I'm so sorry, dude.

00:23:46
Speaker 3: And I know that staying up late like that, that's gonna cause him probably to sleep in, so then he's gonna be behind on meals when he wakes up in the morning, he's probably gonna have to order takeout for breakfast.

00:23:57
Speaker 1: He's gonna have to order takeout for break Takeouts not the end answer, but sometimes takeout is the answer. It might be his only option right now. Maybe it's pizza. Nothing gets shittier than having a weekend solo watching football, playing video video games, staying up late, sleeping in, and eating with icy cold bud light and wings and pizza.

00:24:21
Speaker 6: Can I tell you, guys why we're like a circle of trust? You guys are my three best friends on the planet.

00:25:07
Speaker 2: And shout out that group of guys.

00:25:09

00:25:15
Speaker 2: I got a On a lighter side.

00:25:18
Speaker 1: A comment from Kyle pt six for Life from from x dot com. That's his user name, by the way, that just read Kyle pt six for life. Let's a sink in. Yeah, I love it. He starts it off with fuck boys. That last episode got me good.

00:25:35
Speaker 3: You guys got the mailman out here crying on ring cameras not cool. Will thank you for sharing such a personal moment. This show has helped me in many ways as a new dad of six month old Aria. Thanks for everything. Been listening from the beginning. Get the trash to the curb boys, wolf emoji. I got another one that's one that gets that will get your Yeah. I hit you your electricity bill.

00:26:03
Speaker 1: Running from the Dog.

00:26:05
Speaker 3: Mark Gonzalez two six nine eight on YouTube says, as a twenty five year old dad, I had my first when I was eighteen. I can say one hundred percent agree embrace the fatherhood. Of course, I've come a long way and got ways to go, but I've always tried my best, which is all you can do, and also learn, learned to want to learn. I wish I had this podcast years ago because this podcast gets me absolutely pumped to go home to my kids. And last but not least, we have Ray Maddix on Instagram. He says, love the pod and have a question for the boys, how do you get your kid to eat what's for dinner? My daughter's a one and a half year old, and a few months ago she would munch on anything from ribbone, steak, chicken, anything. Now she won't to eat a thing but bullshit fried food from restaurants for fast food chains. I appreciate the help fellas that came from Ray.

00:27:00
Speaker 1: I love the Ray Maddox because I have I have some One of my updates that I was going to talk about is the dinner time routine and the expectation that we've kind of set at home where you kind of motivate her a little bit with the cookie. And when I say cookie, it's like a it's like these little cookies and then you break a when she gets a cookie, it's they're that big, Yeah, and they're broken in half. And then that's her one cookie for the night.

00:27:21
Speaker 5: Yeah.

00:27:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that question right there. One and a half. This is a good phase where hey, eat your food or the tickle monster is going to get you, and you get out the you know, you get at the little spider hand and you crawl close and they start giggling. Hurry up and eat your food. If it's like a broccoli or chicken, whatever you're having for dinner, whatever you're wanting to get them to eat for the main entre. That's worked for me getting up out of my seated dinner time and kind of like giving her a moment to chew, and I go around the table and I slowly start to approach her as the tickle monster is going to get her. But if she eats the food quick, tickle monster falls down, goes away, takes the power away, takes the power away. But then at the end of the chewing, the tickle monster starts to get power again. Come back, come back to the one and a half. Yu, Yeah, that could be a method. It is tough, dude. It is like negotiating with the terrorists. Man, Yes, you're trying to get your kids to eat. But my update on Rue is now it's got you know, you know how I said, like, we had those moments where I just tell her, I'm like, Okay, yeah, you don't sweetheart, you don't have to eat.

00:28:26
Speaker 2: You can be all done eating.

00:28:27
Speaker 1: But then she's like she kind of feels that we're not giving her anything that she's wanting. In that moment, which is maybe some pushback or resistance or kind of fighting with her about it or negotiating with her about it, she kind of just pauses and looks at me and she's like, do I get a cookie? And in the beginning, it was like, no, sweetheart, you won't get a cookie unless you're part of the CPC, the Clean Plate Club. Now fast forward a couple of weeks, the standard is the standard. Now I just simply, you know, mom or Dad, we simply all we have to do is like, you know, if I'm about to tell Rude to eat something, Charles, stop me. Or Charles's about to tell it to eat something. I'll stop charing. We'll just say, hey, they don't have to eat. They don't have to eat their food.

00:29:09
Speaker 2: Sweet ar.

00:29:09
Speaker 1: You can be done eating. You can go to sell on the couch, you can play, you can do whatever you want. You don't have to eat anymore. If you want to be done, you can be done. But you know there's no cookie, so and that is what usually gets rude to kind of think about it for a moment. She might take a minute, but she comes back around, she eats her food, and now we don't even have to say the cookie part. Sweet Ar, you don't listen, you know, be part of the clean plate club. That's fine, but you know what the cost is. As long as you know and understand that, you can be done if your belly's full, but you won't get snacks, you won't like. You can go play, you can go hang out. But if you want to be done eating, you can be done eating. And that's working. It's working. It's working. Rue is three. I have a three year old and a ten month old. For new listeners out there, yeah, that's huge, big time. We feel really good about it. She's always fired up when she eats her lunch too, like when she comes home from school and she's like, oh, clean plate club, or like yesterday she's like, I'm like, sweetheart, how you know we were able? We lay in from New York early afternoon. So I got to pick her up yesterday from school. Yeah, so one picked her up and surprise her, surprised her. I was gonna surprise her with a flower. But I went to Walgreens thinking that there would be flowers there, you know, like a time to day.

00:30:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's usually.

00:30:17
Speaker 1: Flowers, like get her cheap little flower, bring it to her, any sweetheart, give her a flower. There wasn't any flowers there, So I got her like the small little snack, like a little snack piece of candy, just to like fire her up.

00:30:29
Speaker 2: She'd be pump.

00:30:29
Speaker 1: Dad was coming to pick her up. And then we were kind of talking on the way home. I was like, were you part of the clean play club?

00:30:34
Speaker 2: She's like no.

00:30:35
Speaker 1: I was like, you weren't part of the clean play club? What happened? She's like, I didn't need the cucumbers. You didn't need the cucumbers. We kind of slice them up cucumbers because she usually enjoys them. She's like, no, I was like, did you eat did you at least eat a few cucumbers? She's like, no, I said, you didn't eat one cucumber. No, sweetheart, you got to eat your cucumbers. Hey, listen, Dad is not there when you're doing lunchtime. But just know, if you got cucumbers in your lunch box, you don't have to eat all of them, but it is. It is good for your muscles, it's good for your brain if you eat some cucumbers. Yeah, it's just food for thought. Can just drive it home. But yeah, So that's an update on some great question. By the way, great comment that we got to hit there. Great question, but that would be my advice for one and a half one and a half year old around that time. You can really tickle monsters alive and well in that stage of life. So it's like utilizing that leveraging that power to get them to that ad is gonna come.

00:31:27
Speaker 2: Quick question for the boss man here as she gets older, will you implement the you're not leaving the table when I'm not leaving either until you take a couple of bites? Uh plan. I don't know if anyone had to deal with that as a kid. But that's a that's a war for fucking attrition. I'll sit here until you move. We're not leaving anywhere.

00:31:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we don't like Rue's always the last one to finish eating right, Like Taro and I, we were like, food's down, we're hungry, we're ready to go. And scott Zilla she's an absolute menace with the food. And when she's done, it's she's just she just she knocks it off. Just you know she's done. You know she's done. Oh yeah, but Roue always takes a moment. But yeah, we sit there until she gets done, and I'm like, sweetheart, we want cookies too. I get that it can't have a cookie until you eat your food. And we don't like we don't leave until until she's done, unless it's like, you know, something pressing is happening, or say we haven't eat dinner around six thirty instead of six or five forty five, and we got to get Scottie to bedtime, start doing the dishes and everything else. But usually one parent's there until she gets rolling. Yeah, but if she's like I'm too tired or having a fit and she starts, you know, she knows when she is getting tired or she's usually it as an excuse. We'll say, okay, we can be done eating, but we're not. There's no TV coupons tonight. There's no you know, you name all the things where she might get you. There's no juice, there's no snacks, there's no cookie like, there's no playtime if you're tired and you're being this crazy like let's go upstairs right now and get ready for bed. That might a couple of times that's happened, or she takes us up on it. She goes to bed and then she sleeps. You know, she's like thirteen hours of sleep and she was tired. But you'll kind of stop on her tracks like hey, I thought you want to go to bed. Come on, we got your milk, let's go upstairs. And she's like I'm hungry. It's like, well, you have your dinner, so she'll eat her dinner. So there is like that. Yeah, there's a lot of patient sitting in the pocket.

00:33:19
Speaker 2: Five year old in me has had some battles and she I don't know, maybe when I was younger, I can't tell you when I was like six or seven, when I was like seven or eight. Old John used to sit there and just stare me down and goes, I'll sit here all night, and it would just be we would sit there in dead silence, and he was like, all you got to do is take five bites and it'd be something I hated, and I'd be like no, and I all right, I'll sit right here, and it's like that's it and he knows that. It's like it's a what's the Wolf of Wall Street? Whoever talks first loses. Yeah. He would sit there and I mean we for a long time, and eventually I would get maybe I would give in, or I would go up to bet. My dad would finally be like nine o'clock, kids, my Dad's like, just go to bed.

00:34:02
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:34:03
Speaker 2: There's only gonna be two options from it.

00:34:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, and uh it s as a parent, you're thinking of all the things like that they won't do in between dinner time and bedtime, and it's like, all right, march your little ass upstairs, or march your little ass in that room.

00:34:17
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:34:18
Speaker 1: But yeah, you're sitting there and we're we're parents, like we're I'll break like the parents leverage just bites of food, say hey, three, give me three, Yeah, give me four, and whenever his one and a half year old when she's able to start kind of counting and they kind of don't know then to go. Just like when you witness Charro doing the jumping in the water or something that Taylor's like, how many of the times do you want to jump in? They can't count very high, So we'll say, listen, you don't have to eat a lot, but how many bites would you be willing to eat? Like, you tell me how many bites, and that's what we'll do. And they'll just randomly say like three or four and they're like, You're like, all right, we can do that. So that's a good tactic. You just gotta have You gotta have a deep bag.

00:34:55
Speaker 2: You gotta be creative when you're in that, when you're in that faces.

00:34:59
Speaker 3: We interrupt this episode to bring you one of our favorite sponsors, True Classic. When it's to day at night, Jilly Bean says, and you can all say it back with me. She says, Sherman, go put on that T shirt that you always get at Busting with the boys. You got them all over the office. I say, honey, that's my True Classic shirt. If it's me nice and snug, it looks great. It's casual, yet has this really nice appeal to it where you can throw some slacks on with it, and you're walking into a nice restaurant. You feel like you're dressed to impress. However, it is cold outside. I get that. You're like, I don't want to wear a shirt when it's freezing cold temperatures here in Nashville, Tennessee. As winner quickly approaches. They also have hoodies. I'm rocking one right now. They have pants, they have all kinds of stuff, guys. True Classic has just launched a boy line for the boy dad's out there you can match, and honestly, it's way better than those awkward family photo outfits or cheesy pajamas. You get to show up together, feel comfortable, and actually look good doing it. The crazy thing is True Classic has already sold over twenty five million shirts to more than five million customers with over two hundred thousand five star reviews, so I'm definitely not the only dad who has figured this out. You can find them at Amazon, Target, or even select Costco and Sam's Club locations, or just head to True Classic dot com. Forward slash for the dads. That's true, classic dot com forward slash for the dads. Trust me, grab one and you'll think me later.

00:36:43
Speaker 1: I have a couple more djpac One on YouTube. Djpac one will absolutely loot up. When he was telling us about that twenty eight sweep counter, he needs to be a coach later in life. We need an update. I saw my man. He's like, hey, I got you. Yeah, he sent a message in right talking about I don't think where the game was.

00:37:01
Speaker 2: He was talking about where the game was.

00:37:02
Speaker 1: They played the day before the Red River shoot as we're shooting. They play today as podcast. They play today now. If you had an interest, take four our trip go watching powder puff football third graders and fourth graders in Ardmore, Oklahoma. Yeah, I think so. And he said he's going to give that speech.

00:37:20
Speaker 6: Sayatu, Oklahoma. Oh it's at the high school field. So he said their flag football game is in Sayatuk, Oklahoma.

00:37:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, shout out DJ pack One, come on, DJ Katie Jo's and Hans from YouTube. I'm so happy to see Jill's instructions while she is away. I am this mom because it makes me feel better to leave lists and information. I don't do it because I don't think my husband can handle it. I do it for me and I know it's crazy. I want to put a I want to just put a pause on that one, because that's a great one to talk about. Recap your weekend. Yes as a as a solo parent. Yes, this one's from Black Parsons g one E on YouTube. Love the podcast. Boys. Just want to say the wife and I have been trying to have a baby for the past year and a half. It's had its ups and downs in definitely a stressful time. I'll listen to Busting all the time. I'll deliver my ups truck. But my first four the Dets podcast was episode seventeen. Y'all got me crying and laughing, looking goofy on everyone's ring cameras. Second little ring camera shout out today. But more importantly, after listening to episode seventeen, I found out twenty four hours later, I'm going to be a no, no, yes, super pumped and just want to say thank you for keeping me entertained throughout the week at work and for all the advice. Any advice to handling a pregnant, hormonal wife would be greatly appreciated. Laugh out loud ps y'all know about our news before any of our family and even our parents. Love y'all.

00:38:47
Speaker 6: Well, just real quick, yes, so sorry, that is Blake Parsons. I put a typo.

00:38:51
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm so sorry. Okay.

00:38:52
Speaker 6: I even told chef. I was like, I don't think I fixed. That's a Blake Parson.

00:38:55
Speaker 1: Blake. Just again, I read the prompter. I read the tell prompter here that's yeah, yeah, oh the Black Parsons aka Blake, Yeah, Blake Parsons.

00:39:08
Speaker 5: Bro.

00:39:08
Speaker 1: Thank you for tuning in. Thank you for hopefully being a new listener who sticks around. I think you get a lot of have a lot of fun with this podcast, and then get a lot of stories and tips and realize that you are part of a sick community. My advice, we can give a couple couple easy ones, but you can go back. I would say it would be very fun for you to catch up on the podcast because again we're only what eighteen nineteen deep now as you're listening to this podcast, But there's a lot of good info coming up. Cause Shurm, he was he wasn't a dad yet when we started this podcast. Correct, Are you just six weeks out from Scarlett Spurth. Yeah, six weeks out from Scarlett spur So there's a lot of things before that. We're I'm telling Shiram stuff. He's kind of telling me what he's going through or dealing with with the pregnant wife, not in like a negative way, but just as we're sitting here talking about supporting your wife and everything else. Obviously right when he has Scarlett, we've been getting to go through Shrham's journey in real time. It's scar scar is now.

00:40:08
Speaker 2: Three months old, three months and some change, three months.

00:40:10
Speaker 1: And some change almost three and a half. Three good, and you can say three and a half, yeah, three and a half she is.

00:40:19
Speaker 3: It's been fourteen weeks, yeah, July third, so and then we're October tenth, so yeah, yeah or something three months in a week.

00:40:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, but she.

00:40:31
Speaker 3: It is fun thinking about when we started this podcast and all the questions that I did have.

00:40:36
Speaker 1: And it does help me still.

00:40:39
Speaker 3: Some of the lessons that I learned from either comments yourself are lessons of the week. So I would highly advise going to the beginning of this podcast because there are like a lot of good nuggets in there that I still to this day, Like this is such a fun show because we do how fun on here and we joke around a lot, But there are a lot of lessons that still to say, I'm like, damn, I'm so lucky that I've kind of found my way into this little community and that all these little lessons are kind of floating in my brain.

00:41:15
Speaker 2: Now.

00:41:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's and we are not professionals. That's about no, no, no, not experts, not experts, but we.

00:41:23
Speaker 1: He has some nuggets every now and then, maybe a little hack, little dad hack for finding some of this advice. I would advise, if you don't want to listen to all of them, go through each one and scroll the comments section on YouTube. All ones are sticking out with dad tips, whether it's like if they're alluding to us talking about your pregnant wife or anything else, maybe it's like okay, in this episode that seems like they're covering these topics. Another one I would recommend, My wife just actually got a DM yesterday, like a long DM of somebody who found our IVF podcast. We did an IVF podcast, a Mother's Day pod on the Bust and with the Boys channel where my wife and I go through IVF and we talk a lot about supporting during pregnancy and a lot of those ups and downs during a process like that. So i'd recommend something like that, but that could be an easy way if you don't have time or you don't want to go through back, go through the entire catalog before that's would recommend, but just skim through the comments and see some of the topics that I talked about. When one kind of hits home, then assume that it's probably going to be in that episode. I love that, and uh, be there, be there for your wife, have fun. It's gonna be a crazy journey. You're gonna absolutely kill it. It's about connection, not strength. Yes, connection, that's the biggest takeaway if you can have one mantrace, but not about staying strong, being strong, kind of being that male monotone, keeping everything suppressed inside. It's no talk about talk through your emotions, talk about her. She wants to be scene, felt and heard. And it's not about staying strong. It's about reconnecting with your with your gal.

00:42:52
Speaker 2: That was great. Where was that you? It's about connection, not strength.

00:42:57
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I think we had Yeah, we had a lesson we did at that one.

00:43:01
Speaker 2: That's great.

00:43:04
Speaker 1: Damn, that's really good. Going back to uh Katie, Jos and Hans. She loved the instructions while Jewel's away she's a mom makes her feel basically, I feel seen when that gets said on the podcast. I don't do it because I don't do it because I don't think my husband can handle it. I do it for me, and I know that's crazy. Give us a recap, bro break us down last weekend.

00:43:26
Speaker 3: Well, first off, is that the same Josen Hans from last week?

00:43:32
Speaker 2: We had a didn't we have a Josahans last week? Maybe?

00:43:35
Speaker 1: So repeat offender, repeat missus Joshan, miss missus Jo's and Hans.

00:43:42
Speaker 2: I love it. Yes, I labors.

00:43:44
Speaker 1: Come out like Leonardo DiCaprio and a what was it Once upon a Time in Hollywood?

00:43:49
Speaker 2: Just coming up out of the chair. I do that.

00:43:52
Speaker 1: That's exactly what I do.

00:43:53
Speaker 3: Because we were I was reading it and then we decided it was Josen Hans and then we went back to Jo's and Hans. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, probably, but yes, I uh to dive into that.

00:44:06
Speaker 1: My crack cold one was the weekend with Scarscar.

00:44:12
Speaker 3: It was Jill coming home to me, absolutely obliterating the weekend alone with Scarscar the stories in the videos from hanging out with Will at the Pumpkin Houses and Jill.

00:44:26
Speaker 1: Calling me you have a great time. That was very fun. It was kind of surreal. It was like a weird.

00:44:32
Speaker 3: Moment of being out in public with a friend, but like it's all about your kid, you know what I mean. Yeah, like that was my first time really kind of being out there in the wild. But like my I don't know if you could tell, but my brain was on Scarlet the entire time.

00:44:49
Speaker 1: From a standpoint of allow, Yes, that's when I started to rip the backpack. Yes, remember when I put the through the backpack punt. You're like, buddy, you don't have to put the bag. I'll put the backpack on for you. Oh my gosh. I mean I was so sure, can you turn around? I need to get this other bag? And I'm like, you know, I turned around for him, and he's on zipping getting stuff out of the bag. I was like, no, wonder, Jill loves this. Yeah, that was the most convenient thing in the entire world. And shout out you for throwing the backpack on. But I was so in my head, dude, because Jill wasn't there of.

00:45:19
Speaker 3: Like I just kind of had her like voice in my ear, just like what would would Jill be okay if I was doing that? Like would she want me to do that? She probably want me to turn the stroller so the sun's not in Scarlet's face. And I'll say it with Scarlet while Will is, you know, dancing with Rue and Scottie and Charro was killing it as well.

00:45:43
Speaker 2: But it was fun.

00:45:44
Speaker 1: I did enjoy it, but the entire time I was just kind of like, oh, you're operating, yeah, solo that. I was like weirdly nervous with Scarlet, like out in the wild.

00:45:54
Speaker 2: But she crushed it. She did a really good joke.

00:45:57
Speaker 1: She murdered it.

00:45:58
Speaker 3: And I was overthinking the her falling asleep in the car on the way there, and then I'm rolling up and char was like, oh, she taking a nap, and I'm like, oh fuck, she's not supposed to be taking a nap, sherman, what are you doing.

00:46:10
Speaker 1: It's like on the list she sleeps at these times. Yes, I'm picking up Scarlet and I'm like, please stay awake, please stay awake. But I mean I was overthinking it, you know, because they all ended up great.

00:46:21
Speaker 2: She slept every single day.

00:46:23
Speaker 3: It was only two nights I was by myself, but she slept all the way through the night both nights, which is crazy.

00:46:30
Speaker 2: Shout out to Merlin.

00:46:31
Speaker 1: We put a graphic out for Will Howard and his parents.

00:46:35
Speaker 2: Hey, shout out.

00:46:36
Speaker 1: The Steelers pets, Big Steelers, future Hall of Famer Will Howard. But uh, dude, the Merlin rips. Scarlett's sleeping like a champ in it.

00:46:48
Speaker 3: And I'm not gonna lie that first morning when I woke up, I legitimately was in a panic because I was like.

00:46:56
Speaker 1: I slept through Olliver crying. Yeah, she had to have cried last night. And I have the monitor up. Oh that's happened to me a couple of times when I'm so low, And.

00:47:05
Speaker 3: I know that Jill has that app even though she's in Miami. She can get on the nanat app and you can go through the highlights of the night on the Nano app. That's a dad hacking itself. Yeah, so sick survival kit. But I went through the highlights, did not stir, didn't stir. So I had the monitor on, I had the volume up.

00:47:30
Speaker 1: Which is big time for parents out there that kind of either remember those days or kind of just got out of them or in them right now. Scar scars around, you know, three months and some change, you're kind of around that moment to where they could potentially start sleeping through the night. Sure, met a couple of big dubs over the weekend, which fires me up for you.

00:47:47
Speaker 3: Jill's calling me, She's like, you haven't really told me about like the park with Will, Like how was it?

00:47:53
Speaker 1: Like, how was saying with the check out, have some fun in me? And yeah's met CALLI.

00:47:59
Speaker 2: He's god, get some heat those I was like, yo, chill out.

00:48:05
Speaker 1: He's all good, like we have fun type shit.

00:48:10
Speaker 2: You don't need to worry.

00:48:11
Speaker 3: We crushed it. And then obviously when she got I told her all about it, because too, when.

00:48:15
Speaker 1: You're when you're so like when you're going out and hanging out with us, it's uh, you know, it's spooktober. We're at the we're at cheek Wood, sick little setup with the pumpkins everywhere, the food trucks, the live music. There's a part of you too that's like, ah, man, like I know my wife would love to be here right now, and I'm getting out and this is like my first time going to this park where it would have been a great first family time to go to this park. Yeah, so I feel. And then when you're on the phone, you're like, we had fun. You're not trying to dude it was awesome because you don't want to bum them out. It's more like, hey, this is a place we gotta go.

00:48:48
Speaker 3: Yes, And I did have a different dad loss which I can go into when we get there. By a small dad loss I learned very quickly was after I dropped off Jill at the airport on Friday and recorded with y'all. And y'all remember how I was bragging of, like, Yo, Scarlet killed the morning nap and like killed it with the babysitter. Scarlet went into a two hour scream session, full on, like starting to turn purple scream session. I'm just sitting there, you know, holding her so close to my chest and rocking up and down, trying the walking in the neighborhood. That's not working. Jill gets on FaceTime as soon as she lands, is everything okay, blah blah blah. Well, you know, she she gave me hell for two hours there, but she's good. Now, what does that mean?

00:49:39
Speaker 2: What do you mean? She gave you help.

00:49:41
Speaker 3: I lied to her so fast and she knows when I lie. Yeah, I'm a bad liar. But yeah, I was like, I'm kidding, I can't. I'm sorry. That was not funny joke. And she did not give me.

00:49:52
Speaker 1: Hell. She's been great, she's been great, but.

00:49:55
Speaker 2: That was a dad loss that layer.

00:49:56
Speaker 1: Now. I was like, yeah, she was screaming real bad, and I switched up quick. How was your mental throughout the screenfest? Because I have a screamfest. I have a screamfest. Story mentals were good as far as the only thing that I hate about it is when Scarlet screams so much that it, uh and this is gonna be really bad radio, but it like literally turns into like a.

00:50:20
Speaker 2: And then the face just.

00:50:21
Speaker 3: Turns purple because she's not breathing, like because her scream that has gone so long that she didn't just sit there.

00:50:27
Speaker 1: Like and I'm like, breathe please, oh my god.

00:50:33
Speaker 2: And then she'll finally go.

00:50:36
Speaker 3: Do like a big free then and then scream war And that was the only part that really freaked me out. But well, we'll get into it with the Survival Kid. I found out that Scarlett is a sick of for the baby flash cards. That's what got me through the weekend.

00:50:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, the little kid, they love the flash cards, love the flash cards, And so it all figured itself out.

00:51:00
Speaker 3: And I was trying like some of the stuff that I used to do when she was younger and not as attentive of just like, hey, let's go outside, that kind of gets her happier. Let's put her in the stroller that kind of gets her happy, or put her in the baby bajorn that kind of gets her happy, and bounce her.

00:51:16
Speaker 1: But she wanted like interaction. She wanted to play.

00:51:21
Speaker 3: And once I got her in that playpen and started doing her little foot to hands stretches and pushing her in and doing the rotisserie chicken rolls, and then started going apple Moon, Yeah, Apple Moon, and she's like sitting there like each time I'd flip over the car and she was loving it. So I did, like mentals were eh during the screaming, but it was a quick fix and then she didn't give me any trouble for the rest of the weekend.

00:51:51
Speaker 2: Whyfe come home to a clean house?

00:51:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, But like she also said that, it was like she was like, you did a good job. I just want you to know you did a great job, and I see where the effort was made in the house.

00:52:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, I.

Speaker 1: Yeah, I see where all the effort was. You did a great job. Yeah, that delivers the butt.

00:52:26
Speaker 3: And when I but when I come home and I see that the bottles are still in the washer and the washer hasn't been started yet, that's the kind of things that we need to be perfect.

00:52:39

This nature walks forty five minutes outside of Franklin. This drive forty forty five minutes. I don't really say nothing. I stay composed, honestly, never bring it up. This is probably the first time, so I know my wife trust me, and my wife.

00:58:03
Speaker 2: Listens to these episodes. As a matter of fact, it's a couple.

00:58:05
Speaker 1: It's a couple of my dad losses in here we're driving and Scott he's pissed off, like during throughout the entire drive. Rue's doing a great job being a big sister, staying composed. Sweetheart. We we can't listen to the Claw song anymore. The Claw Song is the Halloween theme music song with Michael Myers. She just want some spooky music on my sweetart. We gotta put on the sleep time song, the good Night song that uh corner. We gotta play that song for Scott's will so she can calm down. She doesn't calm down the entire drive. She's she's sideways, bro sideways. Can't get her calm down on the drive. I'm trying back there. I'm trying to like hole and I'm trying to like rattle the goddamn car seat.

00:58:52
Speaker 2: And I got it.

00:58:57
Speaker 1: And we get to this to the Parker for the nature walk and stuff in an awesome spot, and she's still screaming the pretty much the entire nature walk. Oh Charo had her shrap to her body and Chroo want to go me and ru. It's kind of like a story. It's kind of like a storybook trail walk toward they have stuff for kids at like, you know, every twenty yards there's like a little story as reading about nature and stuff going on. It's a I'm enjoying that for a few moments with Rude, but we're like, Scotty, won't calm down, won't calm down. This ain't the Scottie we know and love and appreciate and respect and admire. This is a one to eighty. Her heart's black and there's no there. It seems like there's no light at the end of the tunnel. With her, it's like a year three Max Square, Yeah, the year three Max Crosby, relentless effort to be pissed off. And we're trying to feed her the bottle and she's drinking the bottle a little bit, but then she starts, like starts screaming again. It's like, man, what is going on with her? You can tell she's tired. She's like trying to fall asleep. She needs a nap and she just won't. She's either overtired. She's going batshit bro and Charles. She's like Charle gets a point where she's stop and she's like jumping to kind of like homeber down the rocker. We look like crazy people. People are walking by. Now you doing You guys are gonna figure it out. You love these times and I'm thinking we want to get jo. They're saying that to you as they're like, say, somebody's running yea yeah, the other come by they might chuckle, or there's a family walking by us.

01:00:26
Speaker 2: I missed with mine.

01:00:27
Speaker 1: We're now yeah, I'm missy missed with the I miss those agents tough when you guys will figure it out. And I'm thinking we have not figured this one out yet. And so I'm like, sweetheart, let me. I'm getting I'm getting frazzled. I'm like, let me, let me take her, like, I'll strap her. I'm thinking in my head, I'll get her to sleep. I'll put this child down. And she's like, she's screaming. I'm like, sweetheart, just I think I can get her down. And you wanted to do the nature walk. You should enjoy the nature walk aspect as much as you can't, even though she's crying, bat you right now, like, let me deal with like, let me deal with all this so I get her. I can't calm her down. I'm getting bro, I'm telling you, I'm doing my I'm doing some zone two cardio like I'm getting frustrated to the point where I'm doing the same things as Charles because I'm thinking, all right, Charles getting a little you know, Charles starts jumping and I'm like, hey, let's let's hang on now. She's ten months old. I get her and I'm dealing with her. I get to that point I'm like, yo, you got to relax, bro, Just fall asleep. And go to like, just go to sleep, you drink all the milk, you should be good. Yeah, and she's not.

01:01:33
Speaker 2: I'm like, you know, I'm pattner.

01:01:34
Speaker 1: And then it gets a little too loud, so I patter a little horder. I'm get your little to sleep, and I'm getting to her. I'm basically I'm basically running the whole time trying to get her calmed down. I realize, And here's the dad hack comes out of it. A dad hat comes out of it, because we love to dress up our little Kiddosy Scotty's ten eleven months old. Here's what I think it was. We won't know until I guess it happens again. But she's got shoes on, so we got it in her little outfit. But she's wearing these little nikes. Yeah, and you know, when they're that young, they're not used to having shoes on. So imthinking in my head, like what if she just doesn't like shoes and stuff on her feet right now, Like as she's trying to fall asleep, take off her shoes, take off her socks, put them in the backpack. She's out within five minutes. So a dub comes out of it. A little dad hacked her. I'm thinking I go to Charo. I'm like, she's like is she sleeping? And you know I'm covering the sun any angle so nothing can wake her up because I'm like, yo, this has been an hour, legitimately an hour of hell with her. I'm like, hey, I think it was the shoes. She's like you think, so, I'm like, I don't know if she's asleep now. I did take them off, and when she was getting a little frazzled, like I just when she was like starting to fall asleep, but I just like constantly feel her like kicking her feet. I'm just like, sweetheart, just go to sleep. But whenever I took her shoes off, she was out. So I'm thinking it was the shoes. The toes were just a little yeah yeah, Like you know, again, they're babies.

01:03:01
Speaker 2: They're not used to having.

01:03:02
Speaker 1: You might dress them up and stuff like that and they're good, but once you get them in the car seat and everything, God just say, if you're wanting to fall asleep, just make sure the shoes are off. That was my like takeaway from it. But he got got dicey for a minute, and I'm wearing the good hat. So fortunately, I'm like, I am trying to constantly remind myself because I'm starting to get pissed off about it. I'm like, Yo, what is what is happening right now? We can't even enjoy We can't even be there that long because we got to drive all the way back so that way I can get to the watch party. Yeah, but got her to sleep shoes, knocked out the rest of the little nature walk whatever we had left, and I was knocked out the entire.

01:03:38
Speaker 2: Car right home.

01:03:41
Speaker 1: But praise praise a couple other dad losses my wife, Yeah, you got a list going, Yeah, what's going on? I forget exactly what we were talking about last week, but it was where one of them was like maybe one of the kids were struggling. I'm thinking, oh daughter, oh dad guilty being away and the kids being all being tough, and I'm feeling bad.

01:04:06
Speaker 2: For the game.

01:04:06
Speaker 1: I'm all, poor Scottie or poor this because we got over it like hand mouth foot sweet. I hear you talking about like, oh, poor the girls, but what about poor wifey?

01:04:18
Speaker 2: I go, you're right. You listen to that episode. I didn't mention you at all. I could have sworn you didn't listen.

01:04:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, but she's right times when we're thinking about the dad guilt and everything else and like, oh, poor little kidd, Oh dad guilt. I feel guilty, hate it for the kid. Yeah, wife's going through it at home. So I want to shout out, sweetheart, Charo. I know you're listening right now, probably in the car, because anytime we get into a family trip and we turn the car on this these episodes kind of pop on first from what you recently listened to. I'm like, oh, you're checking out for the dad, So I know you're listening right now. I love you, I do appreciate you. I see you, And it is always empathy with wifey. I just want to say that and not shutting out. My wife was a dad loss. Shout out Chara, shout out char another. Just dad losses in general for the dads out there not getting home when you say you're getting home, it's a dad loss.

01:05:16
Speaker 2: Yeah.

01:05:17
Speaker 1: Like my wife might hit me up, hey when you think you're going to be home today from the shop, and I might just throw her a number, like if we're doing this pod right now and it's eleven fifty two and she's like, hey, when do you think you'll get home, My dumbass would probably say like twelve thirty.

01:05:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, twelve forty.

01:05:30
Speaker 1: Five, then come rolling in a one thirty or something like that. Or you get a text after the time you're supposed to be home, like, hey, was you know everything good? How far out?

01:05:37
Speaker 2: Yeah?

01:05:37
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, everything all right?

01:05:39
Speaker 2: Over it? What are you up to? I know what you know?

01:05:40
Speaker 1: And you're kind of checking in? Am I almost home? But uh, that's a dad loss, because a dad hack. Don't ever tell your wife when you're coming home. Yeah, don't ever give her a time. Yeah, you know, we got a couple of things to do here, be home underpromise, over delivered. I'll be home at eight pm. I'm missing dinner.

I could put your cheek, I could put your cheeks in the oven at three seventy five for ten minutes and eat your little cheeks up, consume you. Yeah, you just love too much. You know when they're a little like it's gonna sound weird, but when you're just giving them kisses and smooches and they're like, cheek kind of gets in your lips a little bit. That sounds wild.

01:21:35
Speaker 3: She was like holding Scarlet right when she got back from the airport. And as she's holding Scarlet, Scarlett is tracking me everywhere throughout the wherever Dad goes. Her eyes are going and Jill's like, oh, okay, so I just don't exist anymore. Yeah, I'm like, sorry, our guys, let her know. Let her know that has always kind of been written.

It's like, truly, my kid needs something going on because they are bored. They're crying because they need something to play with, to interact with these flashcards, dude, and you feel like you're teaching them even though I'm like, there's probably no way that this is being retained right now.

01:22:47
Speaker 2: It will though at some point, Yeah, Scotti.

01:22:49

Speaker 1: We were at the hotel from that time all the way until the next morning at eleven, when we left and went to go meet you at a meet everybody at cheek Wood. That's why I wasn't texting you. I remember, now there you go. But I was like, he's on staycation, yeah, which I do appreciate. It was a fun to check out, and like the feeling I had driving home, I'm texting, I'm like texting my wife and I'm just like, yo, I feel like excitement, kind of like like butterflies excitement, Like I'm just fired up that we're having a night together. Like I feel like back in the day when you come stay with your boy, whether we were at a hotel or we'd get you know, back in our dating days. Yeah, I like had that excitement. Hey, hey, back when I was with what uh was that Washington, Washington? Yeah, when y'all started dating. I text her, you know a moment time she came when she got back from Japan, she came to visit me down in training camp.

01:28:04
Speaker 2: But we're at a hotel. Oh yeah, you know, you guys can read between the lines.

01:28:09
Speaker 1: Then that there was gonna be like story.

01:28:17
Speaker 2: There was a story, but for another.

01:28:19
Speaker 1: Top sweetheart shout out Cheetos shot he shout out to Little Easter Egg Cheetos. Okay, but it was a highly recommend It felt like we went from mom and dad, mom and dad to boyfriend and girlfriend.

01:28:32
Speaker 2: Yeah.

01:28:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it was a great like we had a little spot ay like I had. It wasn't a couple's massage or nothing like that. Like my time was set like four hers was four thirty. You got access to the spa like steam room, relaxation lounge, and knowing that we were checked out from the kids, we're right down the road obviously. Yeah, but it was fun. It was a really good time. Got you know, got Trey, got dressed up for dinner, went down, had dinner in the in the restaurant at the hotel. We had dinner for probably two and a half, maybe pushing three hours. We got real parent mode, like you went up, we had a little bit of fun and like we're gonna watch a movie. Yeah, then you kind of the parent, the adult kicks inside, you're like, let's just go to sleep.

01:29:15
Speaker 2: Yeah.

01:29:16
Speaker 1: Got we watched about eleven previews, eleven trailers. We're like, do we really want to spend twenty five bucks on a movie in the hotel room? None of them seem like they're going to be that good. Let you know what, let's get some shut eye.

01:29:26
Speaker 2: Did you did you have leftovers from the restaurant?

01:29:31
Speaker 1: No? We were so full, bro, Yeah, because it was like the staycation. When my wife was like, Hey, what do you want for your birthday? My birthday was on September nineteenth, She's like, what do you want for your birthday? I was like, honestly, bro, it would be sick if we just do a staycation. Like me and you like, we'll do a staycation. So we got the staycation set up. It was kind of like a birthday gift. So when it got put in, it was like in the computer as a birthday. So I'm getting like birthday stuff from the host set four seasons.

01:29:56
Speaker 2: That's sick.

01:29:57
Speaker 1: So we're getting extra appetizers. They had a little birthday car signed by everybody. When we were sitting there, we didn't want dessert. They're bringing over all the dessert so this is the Khila some wine.

01:30:10
Speaker 2: But it was a great time.

01:30:11
Speaker 1: Dude, slept in Yeah, FaceTime with the root when you wake up in the morning. We slept until about eight o'clock when we woke up and it was we went downstairs, got some breakfast, went laid out by the pool, Red had a couple of books. But it was incredible. It was a plus. I cannot recommend enough for mom and dad to just be intentional about where they could have a moment in their schedule to just go down the road and do a staycation, get childcare, get rid of them for a night and connect with old wifey and feel young again.

01:30:47
Speaker 2: Yeah.

01:30:47
Speaker 1: Jill was even one to go to waffle House this morning as a family, and I wish we could have swung it. But I was in the back of my mind, I was like, we do need to do stuff like that more. Yeah, now that Scarlett is and as stage where we really have her down to like a beat on the schedule where it's like, hey, after that first morning wake up feed, we could go to waffle House very easily. Dude, we go get a family breakfast. Man, we were at We have been to Ethan Roast as a family. It feels like in a while because we're actually talking about the other day. But Rube basically grew up at eighth and Roast.

01:31:22
Speaker 2: Like we'd have the morning routine.

01:31:23
Speaker 1: We'd go down the road, hit eight and Roast as a fan like she's got the little they got the little duckies in there. Yeah, yeah, But we would do that all the time, and like even yesterday we had that pocket whe we fly in, drove home, Uh you picked her up, yeah, drove home, had the afternoon at home, Charles like Charles home, everybody's home, and we kind of have it's like four thirty, don't have to be at the shop until six thirty for the stream and everything else. And she's like, what do we want to do yesterdays? It's been beautiful around Nashville. Weather's been beautiful when it's sunny. The fall weather's kind of kicked in and she's like, do we want to like go out to eat for dinner? So we went out to have you guys been to Fonda. It's a Mexican spot down in twelve South, great spot. But we just went off a whim like, hey, four point thirty, do we want to get out of the house, we want to go to the playground. We want to do X, Y and Z, or do we want to melt inside the house when it's beautiful outside. Just on a whim, got the family. We were out out at fond of having a little family dinner. But yeah, bro stickation was great. Highly recommend you and Jail family's doing that, like once the routine is down, because again, when they're little, when they're like Scarlet's age, like Row is at an age where it's like, you'll have pockets in the afternoon, let's go to the park, get outside, go to the park, whether it's in the afternoon, after work is over and everything else. But when they're that young, you kind of feel glue, like you're glued inside the routine. Kind of you want to stay on such a routine. But now that you're identifying pockets, like, hey, we have the routine down, there are these moments throughout the day, whether it's on the weekend or anything else where you can get out, go have breakfast, like you just just get out and about do the family stuff.

01:32:55
Speaker 3: We need to do way more of that, and that is Jill's love language. We did for our one year anniversary, we did a staycation. That's such a cheet code like it at the end of the day is really fine. Jill like personally loves hotels, and I was I was going to say, dude, the move is when you eat at the fancy restaurant the hotel, you get him to box up whatever, you take that up to the room, din and then right when like you're just about to fall asleep, you go, oh wait, I do have.

01:33:26
Speaker 2: A little bit of that short rate of love. What's that doing?

01:33:31
Speaker 1: What's that all about? I feel you? I'm thinking. By the time we fell asleep, it was probably around eleven eleven thirty. We came up from dinner around nine thirty, so of yourself after a stuff. Yeah, we are Our reservation was at seven. We were at We were there from right before seven because like we'll go sit at the bar. If to the reservation is not ready, they're from seven till about nine thirty. Yeah, yeah, there worst stuff going up to the room.

01:33:57
Speaker 2: Different strokes, different folks. Man had that short I know you would.

01:34:02
Speaker 1: That's why I'm laughingstabs in that shore room kind of sitting over there, like.

01:34:07
Speaker 2: How can you be hungry right now?

01:34:09
Speaker 1: Well, Jilly means the number one culprit on that that was her bit, and I was like, yo, I'm going to adopt that.

01:34:16
Speaker 2: I love that.

01:34:19
Speaker 3: We always hit the leftovers in the hotel, beat tummy fast.

01:34:28
Speaker 1: And we ain't Mom and Daddy tonight, Oh my god. But highly recommend man. I'm talking about that. We were talking about the anchor and sales stuff last week, which again I think that philosophy is all time. Yeah, and the whole wife thing being one of them. And you're right on the love language part. It's like, I feel like his dudees like, we'll get caught up in the work stuff. We have sports to look forward to everything else. But Mom does love when you guys all get out of the house together, when you're doing stuff, when you're having fun, you're taking photos.

01:34:59
Speaker 2: Take photo a Mom, I'll always.

01:35:01
Speaker 1: Call to you. I was like, I know you want to why you look at so nice today? You want to dress up? You know I don't dress up. All A lot of them think, ah, you dress up enough by way, you want a photo, don't you?

01:35:12
Speaker 2: All right?

01:35:14
Speaker 1: Let me get you.

01:35:16
Speaker 3: Let's do it mere selfie real quick. Yeah, we go down to the restaurant. Yeah, should we get to the phone. Calls we should my what are the odds? Or is very shout out FanDuel is very quick.

01:41:56
Speaker 7: Son is starting to talk. He's starting to really words together and say some things. The other night, he was watching me brush my teeth. Right, I'm sitting there and brushing my teeth. Your boy got a little gassy and I farted and he pointed at my butt. So he tried to say you farted, but it came out you fucked. So now you gotta figure out what word to change to. My wife wants to go with toots. I'm not quite sure.

01:47:21
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm sorry I was saying, like we clipped us referencing that and then played it in the credits of that future Oh yeah, yeah, meta you are meta brain meta clip that I'm thinking we can let her know. Yo, we're covering this moment on the pod. They can be tuned into the pod.

01:47:39
Speaker 3: Because this pod will come out on the fifteenth, his birthdays on the eighteenth.

01:47:43
Speaker 1: It's gonna work out kind of perfect. And meta brain clip that meta brain PT six clip that you got a quote top of girl lesson my friend. Yeah, I have a really quick one. This one actually accompanies a video. Uh, and we can make this into a clip. It's like very cool video. Basically this dad breaking down being a dad out in the wild with your girl, your daughter who needs to go to the bathroom, And basically to how do us as men go about our daughter needed to go to the bathroom in the wild. Do they go to the men's room? Do they go to the women's room? This guy breaks it down beautifully.

01:48:24
Speaker 2: So I was a girl dad.

01:48:25
Speaker 8: I'd like to answer this one because I've been there a thousand times myself before now, over the years when my daughter was little, before she was too young to use the restroom herself. Anytime we were out in a public setting and my daughter needed to use the restroom, I would always take her to the women's restroom. Now, in doing so, I also understood that not every woman wants to open up the women's restroom to find a big, old, scary man like myself staring back at them. So here's a couple things I did to make sure that that didn't happen, and also that my daughter got to use the restroom. So what I would do, if possible, is I would try and find a woman near the women's right and politely say, excuse me, my little daughter needs to use the restroom. I need to go in with her. Would you be kind enough to watch the door so another woman doesn't open up the door to find me and get scared or nervous or uncomfortable. I never, never, and the thousands of times I did that, never had a woman say no to that request. It was always met with oh, yes, of course, absolutely no problem. Yes, I'd be happy to watch the door for you and your daughter to go in. Always got met with a yes. I always ask politely, never had a.

01:49:31
Speaker 2: Problem with it.

01:49:32
Speaker 8: If there were no women around that I could ask. What I do is as I take my daughter in, I'd prop the door open with my foot, and while she was using the restroom, I'd stand in the doorway, blocking so that nobody could see in. But also at the same time, if a woman happened to approach the restroom, I'd say, I'm so sorry, I've got my little daughter in here. Could you give us just a moment once again, always greeted with a yes, no problem, happy to do that. Thank you for letting me know. I never got told note of these requests because and this is just my opinion, but I'm guessing every single woman out there understood that I was just trying to be a good dad, getting my daughter and to use the restroom that she needed, and I wanted her to use the women's restroom because it is safer and cleaner. Gentlemen, if you were out and you have young daughters, take them into the wooden's restroom. We all know it's cleaner, and you're probably never going to find a woman that has a problem with you being in there if you do one of the things that I told you, and if you're polite and respectful from one girl dad to another, just trying to help you guys out, I hope this might help somebody Anyways, you guys, let me know what you think about this in the comment section, Like can share this video, I'd appreciate it. Dedicated after that out for the.

01:50:38
Speaker 1: Daughter, Oh, I think he said like five, like four or five.

01:50:43
Speaker 2: Because rude just goes in the men's room with me.

01:50:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, I take her in a stall, which that's another option that he talks about.

01:50:51
Speaker 2: I keeps his eyes down. Yeah, yeah, I was just kidding out.

01:50:54
Speaker 1: She's three eighty there, don't talk to nobody, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we're doing our business. Yeah, which I did. I wanted to ask you, like what your approach was too. It's yeah, it's more of like, hey, if she's got to go to the bathroom and I got to go botty too, she just goes with me, just go in a stall, get her all hooked up. I feel like she's young enough to where she literally does not know the difference. I'm assume, yeah, well she'll know that. You know, why could you go in, uh, in the mommy's restroom dad as a boy? Yeah yeah, that's a boy.

01:51:24
Speaker 2: You got boys'.

01:51:25
Speaker 1: Restrooms, you got girls restrooms, and Dad, I can only.

01:51:29
Speaker 2: Go in this one.

01:51:30
Speaker 1: You gotta come with daut That's it. That's just how we go. Yeah, but a question that I've asked myself plenty of times. I was like, what do you do in that situation? That's uh, that's interesting. It's like an initial thought, I guess when it first happens, but then you just don't really once it happens the first time, you don't really think about it because you're just thinking, like, you know, it's your it's your little one. Any Like, Well, we haven't been in like I guess where if we're at like a game or something like that and it's very public and crowded. We've been a situation like that. So every bathroom we've kind of went into, it's you know, whether adults are in there or whatever. It is like you you know how you're used to seeing kiddos come in with their parents. Oh for sure, So just go in, hit the stall, rip it ri you need you need you pooper bee bpr poop poop.

01:52:20
Speaker 2: Yeah. But yeah, that was that was my lesson of the week.

01:52:24
Speaker 1: I love that because a lot of young dads are That made me think about they don't have their kids yet, they could be wondering that that could be a question on their mind. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I love that mine is. So we had the one last week with the anchors and sales, and I think one thing that just people, parents, whatever. In general, there's always a lot of pressures in the world. And something that I learned I was very grateful to learn that I felt like stuck with me when I was in college, like are you good, bro? My contact came out. I thought that was tears that came out.

01:53:04
Speaker 2: Popping bag game.

01:53:06
Speaker 1: When you came down and I saw that, I felt like it was tears in my.

01:53:11
Speaker 2: Oh you go.

01:53:14
Speaker 1: But something I learned as I was on the football team, we have my favorite one of one of my favorite because there's a couple out there, but my guy, he's like he ended up. He's he still were very close to this day. But James Dobson, he was our strength coach. It's something he always said that resonated with with me. I'm sure a lot of guys on the team, but it's like, no matter what is happening, you can always control two things in life, and it's your attitude and effort. And this was a mantra his at all times. I felt like it's something that really stuck with me. And after it's like the the anchors and sales and having some of these philosophies, like getting back to the getting to the foundational thing that it's like you feel like you get pulled in all these different directions and a lot of things affect you throughout the day, whether you're running late to something, you have a bad day at work, you have a lot of whatever your stressors are in the world, the two things that you can always control is your attitude and effort. And how can we relate this to a family atmosphere or parenthood, fatherhood, whatever the case may be. An attitude attitude set your emotional temperature of your home. So just like again when you think about attitude and effort, your attitude, no matter what, you can always choose what kind of attitude you're gonna have, whether it's a pissy one, any negative attitude you ever had. I bet you can go back to that moment if you could have anticipated that moment, you think to yourself, I could have handled this situation or had a better attitude walking through the door at home. Yeah, your attitude set your emotional temperature of your home. If you walk through the door frustrated, distracted, or short tempered. It is felt in the home without any words being said. Think back when we're all young kiddos, or when we're all growing up, if mom or dad or somebody's got a bad attitude, or even a buddy, if you feel that bad attitude without anything being said. A lot of the times, it's like, oh, Dad's coming home.

01:54:57
Speaker 2: He's kind of.

01:54:58
Speaker 1: Seems like he had a bad day at work. Yeah, Like we all know that feeling as kids growing up. If you walk in grounded and present people, it feels safe.

01:55:07
Speaker 2: When you walk in.

01:55:08
Speaker 1: It's like SHRM's a great example. I feel like when Shurm always comes to the door, no matter what's going on with our boy, it always you always just feel like you're in a fun environment because I feel SUREM always walks in with the right attitude. You could have a lot of stuff going on, but I feel like your attitude. Always enjoy being around you because you're Like I've told you before, I always feel like.

01:55:27
Speaker 2: I'm in a good mood when I'm around you.

01:55:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I appreciate that, by the way, thank you.

01:55:32
Speaker 2: Yeah.

01:55:33
Speaker 1: Attitude isn't about pretending everything's great. It's about choosing how you respond when it's not great. So when work is heavy, attitude decides whether you bring that weight home or leave it at the door. When your kid spills their drink for the third time and you get a little frustrated, you get a little piste off kid it won't go to sleep. When you're trying to rock her to sleep for a nap and she's got her shoes on and you're starting to get really flustered, Attitude decides if you correct them or connect with them. When life tests your patience, attitude decides whether you react or you lead. And as a dad, your attitude becomes the model your kids copy before they ever listen to what you say. The second one being effort. So again, the two things you can always control at all times, especially if you're conscious of this, is your attitude and effort. Effort is intention in motion. It's not about how hard you work for your family, It's about how intentionally you show up with them. So effort as a dad looks like, you know, choosing to get down on the floor and play even when you're tired. I'm guilty of this. I'll be sitting there like it's like I want to take a load off. Long day, whatever it is yeah, and I might feel mom in the kitchen or upstairs with the roo and I got Scottie and it looks like she's wanted to play a little bit. I just think to myself, I just need to roll off the couch and get on the ground and start doing the crawl with her. Whatever it is, whatever gets her excited or choosing to play, like again, if I'm wanting to watch the game, or if it's after dinner, and again I'm just like, oh, I just want to like lay on the couch, and Rue hits me with, hey, you want to play Chase, And I just thinking, Okay, I need to get my ass up and I need to play Chase unless the back and less the back's in a bad spot. Hey, sweetheart, daddy's backs in a bad spot. But again, this we're talking about effort listening when your wife fully talks to you, not just hearing them. Guilty, guilty, sweetheart, I know you're listening. Guilty as charged. The comment of I don't know why I waste my breast sometimes because you never hear me because I'm the what guy was that, sweetheart? Or I'm just not paying attention. And then I finally just hear the comment, I don't even know why I try talking to you sometimes I got just you know, I'm making up whatever excuse it is, sweetheart.

01:57:37
Speaker 3: When you hear the juicy part of the story, you go, wait, wait, who's saying.

01:57:41
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah yeah? I am enemy number one with that. But fully listen when your wife talks, not just hearing, taking the time to explain instead of snapping in frustration. We've all been in those moments where something gets said and we're just we want them to feel our frustration that we might not want to get into a conversation or might not want to get into a moment when it's like sit there, be present. Not about being strong. It's about reconnecting, finding that connection, getting back in the pocket, showing that effort that you're not just wanting to push it off with frustration or whatever you might be projecting from whatever attitude you had, making the space for making space for family moments even when the schedule is packed. You were talking about the routine stuff earlier, like yesterday we're sitting there, I'm like, okay, gotta go do a stream, gotta do stuff. But if you find the space and you find the time, like making the effort to, yeah, let's get out of the house, let's go to the park, let's go have a family meal, like let's go do something as a family, or maybe it's you and your wife, whatever, it is like when that space happens and you know that space is there, being like prioritizing it and doing it even though you might feel this packed schedule or stress circulating around you, it's like, how can you pull yourself out of that? How can you check your attitude and how can you put forth effort? Effort doesn't mean perfection, it means presence. That's something we've loved on this episode since the beginning, that it's presence not perfection in fatherhood because we fuck up all the time all they want to continue to mess up all the time. But it's how you show up in the next moment, how you show up in the next day. Because again, your kids won't remember a word you say. They'll they'll they will understand what you model to them before you say anything to them, and the lesson and all of that. You can't control everything in your family's life, but you can control the spirit you bring in, the consistency that you show up with. If you keep a strong attitude, you teach your kids how to handle it when life is unfair. If you keep steady effort, you teach them that love is built through showing up, not just talking about it. And Indian your legacy as a dad won't be defined by what you achieved. It'll be defined by how you carried yourself and how you made your family feel. Yeah, dude, So there we go. That's that's the lesson, that's the topic of the week.

01:59:50
Speaker 2: That's a really really good one.

01:59:52
Speaker 1: The attitude and effort one, like a few in the world of that I've just like learned or gravitated towards. Are things that have always stuck with me, and sports is attitude and effort. There's this four quadrant like belief, potential, action, results. Thing that's always stuck with me. There is that nobody cares, work harder, and nobody's coming to save you.

02:00:14
Speaker 2: Yep.

02:00:15
Speaker 1: And so the challenge that I've had with myself, especially in fatherhood or parenthood and even for this brand wanting to come with like a lesson or topic or something like that, is I'm trying to pull from the football isms that I've learned, and it's like all right, how do we gear this towards like paranoids? So that's kind of been my It's been like my homeworker challenge, like when trying to come with with lessons or topics, because I feel like all of it is carry over. All of it's crossover, right, Like everything they tell you what you learn, like when you're growing up playing sports. Sports are the best teacher for life. So it's like, how do you bring all the sports methods that is what I know? And how am I carrying it? You know? When I went from football to the branding and podcasting, the business side of everything. How do I bring that into whether it's the locker room on the bus. How do I bring that into my personality? How do I bring that into being a leader and manager for the squad?

02:01:06
Speaker 2: Yeah?

02:01:06
Speaker 1: How do I bring that into fatherhood? How do I bring that into being a husband? Because it all everything tests you along the way.

02:01:14
Speaker 3: Any organized team, uh, And that could be like academic to cathalon type stuff or like doing a school play, anything where like a group of people are coming together for a common goal. You have to hold up your responsibilities. If you don't, it's going to cause others to misfire and misstep, and I couldn't agree more. It's all applicable to work performance, family performance, friend performance, Like how are you performing in your life?

02:01:43
Speaker 2: Yeah? Are you showing up for all these things?

02:01:46
Speaker 1: Especially when you're an ambitious an ambitious person as well, like you, really you're a ambitious career minded person and you want to do really good work. We a lot of us will do anything pop. We try to figure out everything possible to be a really good teammate. If you're in a leadership role, be a really good leader. And a lot of the stuff in the back end that's kind of in the back seat can be the family stuff at times and where I've like you know, had a couple like aha, or think, okay, how can I marry it?

02:02:17
Speaker 2: To this?

02:02:17
Speaker 1: Like the family time and everything else is operating the same way at home. Like am I being like the way I am around my team, the way I am at work, the way I am in my career, I am in my ambitions, every philosophy or thing that I kind of tied to that motivates me or keeps me disciplined. Am I doing those same things at home in the role that I have at home? If I'm in a leadership role everything that I feel like I'm doing, whether it's for a team, for the shop.

02:02:42
Speaker 2: Am I being the same guy? Am I being that dad at home?

02:02:47
Speaker 1: So yeah, I was kind of I was kind of going to where I was like, oh, that would be a where's the bow tie on that one?

02:02:55
Speaker 2: Man?

02:02:55
Speaker 1: My brain kind of just stopped. But it's like to throw a bow tie. I guess on how I applied to buy Life. We always talk about like Charlio being like, Yo, you have this dad podcast. You can't even put up a shelf. Yeah, I ask myself that a lot.

02:03:09
Speaker 3: There are a lot of times around the house where I'm like, dude, you got this podcast where you're like, you got people writing in the comments these life stories and about how great this podcast is blah blah blah, and you can't get up. I know you hear Scarlet crying and Jill's having to do that by yourself.

02:03:28
Speaker 1: In those examples the Willie one shelf where that came about, and in the Scarlet when you're talking about too, it's like, if I just think of the two things that you can sit there and talk about controlling, because you can't control outcomes, you can't control a lot of things external that other people have control on. But if I think about attitude and effort, it's like such a poor piss, such a piss, poor attitude and effort in that moment. If I think of it in a team environment, it's like if I have these big goals of like hitting prs in the weight room or doing X, Y and Z on the football field, that's essentially a teammate coming up. You have these goals, and you're not living up to these goals right now.

02:04:05
Speaker 2: It did. The brain's doing it again, and bow tie, bow tie. There you go.

02:04:11
Speaker 1: That was a good point. Yeah, hey, you're not living up to these goals right now. Bow tie.

02:04:17
Speaker 3: No, but you you did paint a good picture. I don't know what kind of bookend or bookmark you're looking forward to.

02:04:24
Speaker 2: Sum it all up. I think you summed it up.

02:04:25
Speaker 1: Or it might just be the moment where I stop and then there's just a second or two of silence where it's like some tough somebody else might come in and go off that and I'm like, okay, finish it up.

02:04:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, get the walk off music for like an award show, the wrap up music. No, no, no, you know, Yeah, they're playing me off. They're playing me off you just like you wrapped up pretty well. I don't even know if you need to put a bow tie on it. Well, it's more of like the.

02:04:51
Speaker 1: Pocket of space comes in and maybe that's when just the John Cena music drops.

02:04:57
Speaker 2: Oh my god. I feel like if we' does all that, he's a be great at home because you're a good boss. And I mean that I'm not hey, you know, he signs my checks, but I really do mean that you're a badass boss. And like the way that you operate and stuff, it's like the most fair, just genuine like once you succeed kind of you know, feeling like working for Will and Taylor too. So if you apply it at to home, like I feel like that's a hell of a way to approach it. Yeah. It's the attentionality too that you bring.

02:05:28
Speaker 3: I've said that before to you of like you come into this office with intention every single day.

02:05:36
Speaker 1: And just seeing that.

02:05:39
Speaker 3: I've always been an employee that wants to like do a good job in press and press and press.

02:05:44
Speaker 2: But it really is fun when you.

02:05:45
Speaker 3: Come in and it's like, oh, the guy that's the shot caller is also kind of.

02:05:51
Speaker 2: You know, in the weeds, moan in the yard too, Like that never feels above yeah, never, like you don't feel your I've never felt like I'm talked down to on which is like at the end of the day, like you make the decisions. But I will say from an employee side that you want to like, you want to do good. That kind of stuff motivates you, like, hey, this guy has your back at all times, wants you to do good, and you want to fight for that too.

02:06:14
Speaker 1: Like, so it's a great agreed, you know, and with that intentionality applying it to the home life, like the kids are gonna see that as far as me. Thanks, boys, They're like, honestly, it's like that's rat poison. That's rat poison. You live for the cheers, you die by the booze. Yeah yeah. But I feel I feel like in this with the platform that we have to like getting to go through topics, lessons, call it advice, whatever you want to call it, I feel like this is a fun platform to kind of get thoughts that I've had kind of jotted down and journaled her on paper because I I genuinely feel like I've gotten to learn from so many great people that were stuff that they say, like I'll be the kid when we are if you're the person up there trying to give lessons or trying to do things, and say you're in a leadership role and you're just wondering if people out there are like taking it, you know what I mean? Or hey, is this sticking? And I just know, like I was a young I was a young cat or a young athlete. In every room that I was in, if if there was a coach that I m are like getting to listen to get taught from coach Bo Polini, James Dobson, like my mom and dad, Like I've been around so many great people to wear that stuff really resonates with me. And when I thought about being ambitious and successful, I think to myself, like when I listened to whether it was Tony Robbins videos or any of those videos on motivation or success or ambition, Like I was a guy who consumed a lot of that stuff when I was young, and I would try and put stuff into practice, and when things like worked or paid off, It's like I'm trying to remember these things like when I get to the next level or the next thing especially in football. Again, it's like being undrafted, like you're very salty and slided about it. But if you take a lot of these things that have been taught to you, and I can just you can just remove the noise and try to focus on the day to day stuff or the habits or the things that I'm going to still challenge myself too, versus getting down on myself and think like, oh man, they don't think I'm.

02:08:10
Speaker 2: Good or that I belong in the league.

02:08:11
Speaker 1: Maybe they're right, or I get a little the whole attitude and effort thing, or if I take a lot of these philosophies and it's like, okay, how can I pull myself out of my own emotion because you're just we're all emotional just constantly if a result doesn't go our way, and when those things start to work out or pay off, and it's like, man, I need to remember this stuff somehow for whenever I become a starter or when I'm gonna be starting, whenever I'm a starter, how do I become a pro bowler? It's never that. But then, okay, you don't get the result that you want. But how do you take the same things that have always helped me get there through listening to these people and being like, man, they're right about this shit, Like I need to how do I box this in or hone it in? And no matter what happens after football, how do I carry the same approach over to X, Y and Z, to things that you guys are talking about and stuff at home. It's it's a constant. I feel like I'm constantly trying to learn and think about those things. So I've been very I've been just fortunate being around a lot of people that you know, I guess that's all to me for being a sponge, But I was always I've always been a very curious individual. And how is it like, man, I want to be where that person is. How do I even if my boys might be doing inside jokes on while we're doing this dumb meeting or this dumb shit. You know, all those you know, all those groups that have this seems uncool to want to listen and you know, take something away from it. You will cares about this sh try idiot, Well, you're trying way too hard, man, Like that ain't the cool thing to do. But I was always like kind of I guess like that kid like again, if bo Plainey was telling you something, I'm thinking, Man, I want to be a head coach one day in college football or the NFL. Like I need to listen to everything all these coaches say to one day hopefully be where they are. So again, very uh, trying to receive the compliment. Also very grateful, been around a lot of great people.

02:10:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, and shout out uh.

02:10:05
Speaker 3: I do have one extra thought, but also shout out your boy James Dobson. He's the ad at Oklahoma for player performance.

02:10:13
Speaker 2: That's kind of cool.

02:10:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, Dobson is the fucking man bro. Legitimately another father figure in my life. I busted his balls. He was at Vandy. He was like the head athletic guy, like over all of athletic performance. Left to go take a two job on the strength training for Oklahoma because he's kind of The thought was he'd be the successor at Oklahoma because he was a one.

02:10:32
Speaker 2: He's been the guy.

02:10:32
Speaker 1: He's been the heads strength coach. He was my head strength coach at Nebraska. Very hard like, tough guy, very hard on. He loves you. Hard the guy's guy. But taught you a lot of good analogies and theories about life. That kind of got you showing up even when times are very hard, like a being in a world to where you know, this is fucking football. Yeah, like it's gonna be fucking hard. It's the whole point. Nobody feels good at this point in the season. He would always have great storytelling ways, but it was always attitude and effort. And he was the head guy Vandy after Nebraska to when I was on the when I was on Tennessee, I got to train over at Vandy and still be in life around him. He's actually the one of the first guys where I'm like sitting you know, I'd work out and then I go bus balls. We'd be in the office hanging out and everything else, talking about the old days and what's going on in Vandy. And he was one of the first guys world was like, hey, I'm sort of podcast like it's a bus So he was there when I'd have to print out documents to get signed use his printer. But Dobson is like a shout out, James Dobson. He's a he's a legend.

02:11:33
Speaker 2: Shout out.

02:11:34
Speaker 3: And to put a bow on your lesson, you said something that I really loved about the saltiness of being a walk on or not a walk on, an undrafted free agent. I love what you said of like pulling yourself out of the emotion of like wanting to prove people wrong, like pulling yourself out of like whatever kind of angst or anger or sadness that maybe that causes. Because that was huge for me of like going the way that I did career wise, and kind of a lot of people being like, why the heck is he going into video production? Why, and me kind of getting this like jaded spirit of Oh, I'm gonna show them, I'm gonna prove them wrong.

02:12:15
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do that. And once I pulled myself.

02:12:18
Speaker 1: Out of that, it was just able to enjoy fully gratiate and gratiate into like video production and chase after it and work hard and put forth the effort, have a good attitude.

02:12:32
Speaker 3: But enjoy what I was doing as well. That's when I started like really finding success.

02:12:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you're.

02:12:40
Speaker 1: Right, it is tough, man, Like when I didn't get invited to the combine, that was a hard moment, like again, because then you like you're searching your name on the internet and you see rankings and it's like man, I'm just feeding into this thing that's honestly not good for me. Yeah, And no matter what, the sun is going to rise tomorrow and you put your feet on the ground, and it's like, what attitude and effort are you going to have about the day? And are you going to be glued to your vision? And are you going to be glued to the disciplines and the routine and what you're eating and all these things you're gonna do or you're just gonna kind of feel sorry for yourself kind of shy away, come back, man, Maybe.

02:13:18
Speaker 2: They are right, yeah, bro, because I'll do that. Even with parenting.

02:13:24
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'll be like, god, I fucking did so bad that last morning, like whatever I didn't do, or like yeah, I was being lazier blah blah blah, and I'm like in my head, I was.

02:13:36
Speaker 3: Being such a bad dad. And it's like, well, here's the opportunity where I won't be a bad dad, where I'll you know, I'll change my attitude. And what was it called the memory have a short memory, goldfish memory, goldfish memory.

02:13:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's important as well. With the attitude and.

02:13:55
Speaker 3: Effort, it's like you will mess up, you will not be perfect, but it's just being able to learn from that loss. Hey, let's move forward and let's have a good attitude to attack whatever this next thing is.

02:14:08
Speaker 1: And no, yeah, that's a great point. And knowing too, Like let's just say in this hypothetical you have a laundry list of a bad residence, oh as I do. And knowing but yeah, yeah, yeah, but let's say like something to where you don't feel you don't feel like a whole lot of self worth because you know it in the back of your mind, Like, man, I've been a shit x for a good amount of time. The power you you truly have to tomorrow there's going to be another opportunity and it can change.

02:14:43
Speaker 2: You can change it like that.

02:14:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're truly sick and tired of being sick and tired, Yeah, that to me is power, bro.

02:14:51
Speaker 2: That's yeah.

02:14:53
Speaker 3: It is as easy as when I was like going through a really uh tough period in my life, that therapist that I would see and fort Worth, it's the man, dude, he felt more like a dad than like a therapist.

02:15:05
Speaker 2: He may there was a point in my life.

02:15:08
Speaker 3: I don't know if I shared this with you where I didn't get out of bed for like a stretch of like two weeks. I didn't get out of bed, and my mom had to like come over to the house I was living at, and like basically it was like, you need to go to therapy, blah blah blah. And the therapist very first thing he said is he was like, when you wake up, shower and put a nice outfit on, and what else can't it? Can't you do if you go clean yourself up and put some nice clothes on.

02:15:37
Speaker 1: Why not get out of the house. Why not go have a good day?

02:15:40
Speaker 3: Why not go do like you you get that small victory whatever that is, and you can change it, dude. And it's like, I'm a loser. I've been laying in bed for two weeks straight and you know, I don't know what I want to do with my life and blah blah blah, And well, hey, I showered and I put clothes on today, So I guess I'm not gonna get back in bed with.

02:15:59
Speaker 2: All these clothes on.

02:16:00
Speaker 1: I guess I'm gonna have to go, you know, do this.

02:16:03
Speaker 2: So I like that mentality, Yeah, make your bed, make your bad small wins.

02:16:09
Speaker 1: Bro Jill sitting there going, tell them, tell them, will try on my ass at the bed. Hey, I thought we said the rule is the last one to get out of the bed makes the bed.

02:16:17
Speaker 2: Sweet, you know I had to. You're right, Hey, you right.

02:16:21
Speaker 1: Babe grew up here making the bed, grew up there making her own bed. Bro making us look bad, making us look bad that day. Come upstairs, sweet, I got a fish bread. Come upstairs, all right, close your eyes, I'm walking in. Okay, look and I open. She got a perfectly made bed, stuffed animals in place, massive smile on her face. I'm like, gor, let's go downstairs. You better get your chicken sauce and sit well looking at you know, put my hand out for a high five.
