Speaker 3: It sure is.

00:03:18
Speaker 4: Do it okay really quick? Note quick because this was DM to me. Do we send merch to people that we read their emails or do we keep that strictly the hot line?

00:03:32
Speaker 3: What has it been, It's been strictly the hot line, strictly hotline. I had a DM from somebody who had their email read and they said, Hey, I'm not looking for a handout. I'm not that guy. They breakfast very nicely. They said, just want to just want.

00:03:48
Speaker 2: To curio out of pure curiosity, pure curiosity. I don't want to miss out on an opportunity. If this is you happens to be the game you.

00:03:54
Speaker 3: Read my email?

00:03:56
Speaker 4: Does that mean I have some merch come in my way? And I truly like throw this out to us. I throw it out to pet Sikos. I don't know the answer.

00:04:07
Speaker 1: Is this my call?

00:04:09
Speaker 3: You do own this company.

00:04:12
Speaker 5: Boss, But if you would like to hear what we have to say, I would say, we could give you opinions and then you make the call.

00:04:17
Speaker 3: It's really up to what you want to do it at the end of the day.

00:04:19
Speaker 6: But I mean, we have thought throw the.

00:04:23
Speaker 1: Thoughts at me.

00:04:24
Speaker 5: That would be that if we gear it towards something we've always teased, like data the month or data something, if we aim an email towards that. I think we can do it. I think the way we read emails now are just kind of like part of the show and fun, and it isn't as intense as calling in. I think if we gear it towards something, they should get a little something to something. The way it reads right now, I'd say it sticks to phone calls. But that's just my opinion.

00:04:48
Speaker 3: What's what's your thoughts?

00:04:49
Speaker 1: Chef?

00:04:49
Speaker 3: I just I vote a hat. He votes a hat, he says, I vote that, he votes hat.

00:04:59
Speaker 4: My vote is is to keep it Collins. And then if we did some kind of you know, best email of the month or whatever, like the email would get merched then like one a month, Okay, that would be I would lean towards Derek and.

00:05:14
Speaker 3: But love Chef's call of it should be a hat. I think they should get a hat.

00:05:20
Speaker 2: By god, a dictatorship. I like to listen to my guys. So is Chef, you're saying emails get a hat?

00:05:29
Speaker 3: Yeah?

00:05:29
Speaker 6: I think that, Collins. Still, I think emails are great. We read a couple of emails a day. I think a hat is a very good reward for sharing, sorry, taking the time to write to us, and you know whatever it is, I chef.

00:05:46
Speaker 1: I think it is a very good point.

00:05:49
Speaker 3: Oh oh oh, Derek, may I counter just no seeming Team six leader chef a position for the people, right.

00:06:00
Speaker 5: There's one parameter I just want to bring up to the group. That is how we tell international people to contact us. We cannot ship internationally currently. I think there's a work round. Okay, yeah, I have an operating under the pretense that we aren't able to get them. That's why we tell them to email. Oh that is incorrect. Then I would say, let's go for it now. Also, everyone does have the opportunity to go to bwtv dot com right now and buy their own shirt and hat. So you all have won the opportunity to go to the store and get a shirt and hat that you purchase.

00:06:30
Speaker 3: Can as well? Can I call a parlay? Can I make a parlay?

00:06:34
Speaker 1: Make a parlay?

00:06:36
Speaker 4: The international emails that we do get get me super fucking juiced. We should send a hat to every single international email that we get, because not all these are international, but those international siccos that do take the time to write an email, we should send them out at that's cool.

00:06:53
Speaker 6: I do want to I just thought about this and I am. I'm in for the hat. The only problem is, I'm pretty sure if I'm correct, culturally, yeah, yeah, hats. Baseball cap hats not a big thing over in Europe, I guess, depending on where you're going.

00:07:07
Speaker 3: A lot of out there, a lot of.

00:07:11
Speaker 6: A lot of people from England. I know, we get a lot, you know, from our friends of the United Kingdom. From what I understand. If I'm wrong on this, they kind of ship on baseball caps.

00:07:19
Speaker 3: Okay, so we go kangle for for u K advisors Cagles.

00:07:25
Speaker 2: We should, we should work something out. I'm just I'm picturing a fame. I'm picturing whether it's a Milk Team sixer or Papa Team sixerer. Just over the pond, across the pond, they're trying to get their kid down. They're up in the middle of the night, like, let me just listen to the boys, Let me listen to the dads right now. Maybe laugh a couple of times, but just hear.

00:07:42
Speaker 3: Some voices and get me through this night.

00:07:46
Speaker 1: They're in hell.

00:07:47
Speaker 2: They're in hell in their grinding, especially if you're a new parent, even if you got little toddlers like they're there are. They're batshit crazy at times, and they're dealing with this and that, and they want to come on for the dads and enjoy a little escape. And we're sitting here talking. Should they get if they take the time to write into our brand, should they get a little something? There is no handouts, there's no we should We're entitled to this, but us knowing the time that they are taking, knowing what's around their environment. Do you think, what are you thinking rewarding with the with a hat or an item or a product.

00:08:18
Speaker 3: Don't get chef will go to you.

00:08:20
Speaker 2: Make sure to read the comments people that are international saying like, hey, I actually love a nice little ball cap.

00:08:27
Speaker 6: Please let me know I might be just whiffing on that ice boil. I'll take this responsibility very seriously.

00:08:33
Speaker 3: Just Internet, Yeah, you.

00:08:35
Speaker 2: Got You gotta put yourself in the mind of these boys are there. Maybe they're throwing the maybe they're throwing in the wired headphones or the wireless headphones at night.

00:08:42
Speaker 3: Wife just told them, no, I want to get some sleep tonight.

00:08:46
Speaker 2: Take care of yourself. And he just rolls over and throws it in, like, let me just listen to Poppy Team six right now. You have some words of encouraging.

00:08:52
Speaker 3: No tea or crumpets. They're locked in.

00:08:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, do that.

00:09:02
Speaker 3: One more thing, Derek.

00:09:03
Speaker 5: It almost sounds like we should develop a piece of merchandise specifically for the call ins and emailing something along the lines of this is not the idea of, but no better.

00:09:11
Speaker 2: This's where I start to put on the brake, you see, fastlow it down before we get out. Yeah, but before we get out over our cities, struc We're going to create a new product. So we already struggled with creating new products or peacocks.

Speaker 3: This one comes from Jovers with three rs on Instagram. This is a Milk Team sixer, she said. I used to despise Busting with the boys.

00:12:21
Speaker 4: Every car drive with Matthew and Hugo was accompanied by an episode after episode after episode of Busting. But Will Compton has quickly become one of my absolute favorite people because of for the dads and getting to see a different side of him and the Shermeister. Now every single morning I wake up and Busting with the boys locker room and for the dads is like our version of the morning news in the house. I have a different kind of respect for them, especially when they go out of their way to do something for the boys in the back of the bus.

00:12:55
Speaker 3: So this bonus shit is absolutely dope. All caps dope.

00:13:00
Speaker 5: That was someone's Instagram story that they shared the bus and recap video. So she posted that to her story, so that was part one. So we reached out and basically just thanked her for that. So sure that was like she just posted that to the world that wasn't even to us.

00:13:12
Speaker 4: So then Derek followed up and said, that was an amazing note. Thank you so much for giving the dads a chance. We hope to never disappoint. She replied back, My husband and I are expecting our first baby boy in March, so this pod came came around right in time for us to prepare for parent life. You guys got a pod that speaks to everyone. We love y'all and all the work that you do. Thanks for sharing all the best, worst and everything in between. Happy twenty twenty six to all four of y'all who keep this pod absolutely crushing.

Speaker 1: Let's go.

Speaker 3: That comes from Jovers on.

00:13:48
Speaker 2: In shout Out Jovers on Instagram. That fires me up. That fires me up.

00:13:52
Speaker 1: You can never what's the word I'm looking for?

00:13:57
Speaker 3: Underestimate? No, come on, uh seas, I don't know.

Speaker 2: Yeah, somebody that kind of despised Bust with the Boys here in the obnoxiousness that comes out of our mouths at times, tuning into for the Dads.

00:14:15
Speaker 3: This is the stuff my husband listens to.

00:14:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, God, he wants to listen to Busting with the Boys again.

00:14:23
Speaker 1: And what a power dynamic right there.

00:14:24
Speaker 2: Knowing that he's picking the pod, I think that needs to shift a little bit. I'm kind of in favor for the Milk Team sixer here yep too.

Speaker 4: I scream for mom in a fool panic, and she walks into the bathroom with a baby dress, a baby suspended at midair, and a brown snake in the tub. Of course, she says Dad has to fish it out, and I grabbed a plastic bag to wrangle that sucker out.

00:21:52
Speaker 3: Good.

00:21:54
Speaker 4: To some this is a crazy scenario, but to me, this is a regular Friday night.

00:21:58
Speaker 3: I love the pod.

00:21:59
Speaker 4: I never miss an episode. The knowledge you boys drop weekly has helped me grow as a father. So thank you both, and I hope y'all know how great of dad's you both all right, but thank you dude. Uh ps tried Apple Chris Follipop today for the first time, and I have to say I'm now a fan Mary krimbis Ca.

00:22:18
Speaker 1: That's a great right in.

00:22:19
Speaker 4: Yeah, great right in that came from k cass on X. That was actually a dm on X. That's a great right in. Yeah, we appreciate that. And dropping a missile in the tub. That's all time.

00:22:29
Speaker 2: And shout out to him the twins, the twins and what we've talked about it.

00:22:32
Speaker 3: That's a woof But he knows nothing different to him. That's his chaos.

00:22:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, think anytime I'm bathe them both Scotty and Rue, and then y'all get Scotty, I'll wash her, get her quickly going because Rue wants to stay in the tub and play and everything else. But now it is no easy task when you're trying to go and get them, get the little one dressed, while the other ones in the tub. They might be screaming for you to help them with something. Couldn't imagine walking in and rug just hunched over, like just lock with me, dead in the eye, just knowing she's dropping a fat one.

00:23:02
Speaker 4: Bain made a great point in The Dark Knight Rises when he talked about being born in the darkness, you know nothing different.

00:23:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, knows nothing different when you're.

00:23:10
Speaker 3: Born in the trenches. So we shout you out, k Cass, thank you for the right And that was legendary. Yeah that was that you said? That was a DM on X on X Yeah. I love it, man, community these growing.

00:23:23
Speaker 4: Will I have some dad losses. I have some in the trenches. You know, I have a crack a cold one. Where would you like to start? I would love want to hear about the losses.

00:23:34
Speaker 3: Do you want to hear about my loss?

00:23:36
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, would love to hear.

00:23:37
Speaker 2: Would love to hear the trench warfare you're you've been involved in over the last couple of weeks.

00:23:41
Speaker 3: Okay, cool, my okay, my dad loss.

00:23:44
Speaker 4: This was a I had a conversation with a friend and this was more of a dad loss of like Sherman, have you not thought of this? So this is my minor dad loss. Why do I not have my own diaper bag? Why do I share a diaper bag with Jill. Why do I not have my own souped up, cool looking, dad looking diaper bag?

00:24:10
Speaker 2: What was your conclusion? What'd you come to? Because I'm sitting here thinking, I share a diaper bag, You share a diaper bag. Take I don't have my own key.

00:24:16
Speaker 4: So he's got a baby on the way, my friend, and he's like, yeah, dude, I'm on Nike right now. I'm looking at these diaper bags for dads. They're freaking sick. I'm like, oh, I kind of want to look at that. Check out the link and the Nike diaper bags are like legit. I'm like, I could be toting that thing around.

00:24:32
Speaker 3: That would look sick and wife, He's like, hey, did you forget to put the diaper bag back in the hill? Was the diaper bag in your car? No more of that anymore, because now we both have our own diaper bags. I got my bag, You got your bag.

00:24:48
Speaker 2: It's it's you got to bring the diaper bag in no matter what.

00:24:53
Speaker 3: Oh, because you got to refill it, for sure, but you got the pit stop.

00:24:56
Speaker 4: But if I forgot my diaper bag in my car, that's not gonna affect But what are you doing.

00:25:03
Speaker 3: Jill, when you're taking Scarlett out, are you both wearing diaper bags?

00:25:07
Speaker 6: No?

00:25:08
Speaker 2: And I'm thinking space in the mudroom wherever you put your diaper bags, You're just going to take up some more space with a couple of diper bags in back, which want we choose them today?

00:25:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true.

00:25:16
Speaker 4: But when I go so loo, I'm gonna feel that much better that I got my diaper bag that I pack. I just feel like that diaper bag is gonna collect dust in the closet. Really, that's my opinion. So is the new dad loss that I even brought up this idea on the pod?

00:25:31
Speaker 3: Is that a new dad loss?

00:25:32
Speaker 2: I think a lot of dads out there, unless they're into having like they're the ones picking the diaper bag. I think a lot of dads sitting out there listening right now would just think like, yeah, usually wife's got the diaper bag in check.

00:25:43
Speaker 3: It's about getting the diaper bag ready.

00:25:45
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:25:46
Speaker 2: I know for me, for me and my role willly one shelf, I would misplace or lose my diaper bag eventually.

00:25:52
Speaker 4: Yeah, And it's a it's a matter of if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Like Jill and I are on a one diaper bag system to you, and I just kind of used the like, hey, did you bring the diaper bag back in as an example, like Jill's on top of the diaper bag stuff.

00:26:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, because yeah.

00:26:09
Speaker 2: We're able to fit the snacks and everything into one diaper back because when Scotti was a newborn, we would have a separate little diaper bag for Scottie, like if we would go on trips or something like that. Yeah, as far as everyday use to share the diaper bag.

00:26:24
Speaker 4: Well, then my new dad losses that I'm overthinking diaperbacks. Second dad loss. This one's the more major one. I'm terrible at feeding Scarlet solids. I can't feed her solids worth a damn. She started solids this week. We're steaming like veggies. We're making our own baby food essentially. Yeah, Jill is so good at feeding Scarlet. I'll provide a chef with some video that just popped up on the screen. Scarlet's like grabbing the spoon herself and bringing it to her mouth.

00:26:58
Speaker 3: When mom's doing it, he's eating. She's just an eater.

00:27:02
Speaker 4: And then whenever Dadas is doing it's solo on nights where Jill's working late and I'm doing solids.

00:27:08
Speaker 3: I can't get her to do a thing. She won't eat.

00:27:11
Speaker 1: What do you think the issue is?

00:27:12
Speaker 6: Me?

00:27:14
Speaker 7: Like?

00:27:14
Speaker 3: Are you like, is it you lose focus?

00:27:17
Speaker 6: No?

00:27:18
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm I'm dialed in because I'm so in my head. Is she grabbing? Is she grabbing these with her hand?

00:27:25
Speaker 4: She's not focused that? Like, I couldn't be more focused. She couldn't give two fucks. But then when Mama's is there and I'm doing all the same stuff that Jill does.

00:27:36
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, garlic is the screep potato look, and you know, doing it and slapping it on, letting her play with it with her hands, get a feel for that, pick it, you know, getting the spoon, putting the spoon by her mouth.

00:27:50
Speaker 4: She's not even you know, She's just like I got TV off, all distracted, Like there's no distractions going on. I take all the toys, the squeaky toys, out of the dog mouth, because sometimes that distracts Scarlet while she's trying to eat. I am setting the stage for what you would think is a premiere eating and I.

00:28:10
Speaker 3: Can't get her to take a bite. Dude, is it?

00:28:12
Speaker 1: Does it end? Up in you just feeding her.

00:28:14
Speaker 6: Yeah.

00:28:14
Speaker 4: But even then she's like kind of like eh, And I'm like, well, did that dad microwave it too long?

00:28:21
Speaker 3: Does it need to cool down?

00:28:23
Speaker 4: And I'm putting it on the little thing and I'm mixing it around and you know, kind of finger testing it, putting my finger on it to be like is it too hot? Like what's going on? Jill's like just room temperature. It doesn't need to be hot. I'm like, I know that, I don't want to burn her mouth.

00:28:39
Speaker 1: Shet messing with that.

00:28:41
Speaker 3: She is not messing with that.

00:28:42
Speaker 1: Maybe she's not hungry at that time.

00:28:45
Speaker 3: I don't know, dude, if you saw the way that she was going at it, I.

00:28:48
Speaker 1: Know a routine.

00:28:49
Speaker 2: I'm picturing all the things that I think that if Scarlet's not eating, usually it gets to like, say, you don't want to take all the patients in the world to having them figure out eating and then you just start feeding them.

00:29:01
Speaker 1: This is what I would get into.

00:29:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then they just want you to feed them.

00:29:06
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:29:06
Speaker 4: And she wasn't even doing that. It was just getting all over her mouth. She's not opening her mouth at all. But I'll tell you what, she loves the water bottle.

00:29:16
Speaker 2: He had experience the water bottle for the first time. Broody Scotty will grab that thing and just be like, she's a fiend for the water.

00:29:25
Speaker 4: Yeah, to the point where she fills her stomach up with so much water that she's starting to spit it out.

00:29:31
Speaker 3: She's like drinking it and then just just spit it out. But we'll look at you and start going ah for you to get You're like, you're not gonna drink. You ain't even drinking, bro You're spitting it out.

00:29:41
Speaker 1: Scotty do the same.

00:29:42
Speaker 2: She put it in her mouth and just sit there and look at you, and it would just run out the side of her mouth, like into her into the little.

00:29:47
Speaker 1: Bib thing or whatever.

00:29:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:29:49
Speaker 2: And then and then she wants to day nah, which is Lama n Nah, wants s Lama to sit there and watch her eat.

00:29:57
Speaker 3: Good.

00:29:59
Speaker 1: Here's lama. You can't touch a long while your hands are dirty.

00:30:02
Speaker 2: I just always know what Scott he's done eating, because she'll just start throwing the food off of the She'll start throwing the food off the plate.

00:30:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's Scarlet's on the same and that's where she started.

00:30:12
Speaker 2: When I was feed did you get her where did you get her fed? Did you get her fed?

00:30:16
Speaker 1: Yeah?

00:30:16
Speaker 3: With Baba took the milk, Yeah, some milk, took down seven ounces.

Speaker 4: I checked out, you know, dinner, battime, all that stuff. Hey, honey, I'll after we fed Scarlet, I'll do everything like bathtime, tucking in scarlet, as long as you get the dishes and like Scarlet's uh high chair super cleaned up, which that's a that's an actual task because we put some olive oil like in the baby food. So we're not just talking about baby food everywhere. We're talking about greasy olive oil baby food everywhere. Like you gotta get the what's that scrub I gave you, scrub daddy, scrub daddy, you gotta get the some kind of sponger scrub daddy on it. I truly, I could not tell you what made me not do the dishes. I'm being so serious, like it was not a definitive choice of not doing the dishes, but I did maybe twenty five percent of my tasks that needed to be done. Fed the dogs, walked them and kind of just went.

00:37:15
Speaker 3: Like I killed it, killed it, get in bed, and I'm sitting there in bed.

00:37:21
Speaker 4: I'm watching the remake of Naked Gun, laughing my ass off.

00:37:27
Speaker 3: I'm loving it really good.

00:37:29
Speaker 2: Sitting there, I'm like the picture Jill coming up the stairs or are you downstairs or upstairs?

00:37:33
Speaker 3: Downstairs?

00:37:34
Speaker 2: Jill just walking in the room and hearing terms, you know, his laugh that he has, his giggle. Liam Neeson's just splitting me.

00:37:43
Speaker 4: I'm dying, and Jill goes, oh, love, hey, love that you're ready for bed. Love How comfy he looked, cause uh, you know, now you know, I guess I'm your personal maid now, which I'm fine with because now I get to play our daughter, to which you had no part in. And I get to clean all the dishes too, which is what you specifically told me that you were gonna do.

00:38:07
Speaker 3: But no, hey, it's fine. You go ahead. You late. You just laid down. You got nine night, and I'd like, you know, swipe up on my U because I'm watching on the phone. I swipe up on peacock. I'm like, here we go. I sat there silent for probably twenty minutes as Jill wax poetically we gotta figure it out, gotta figure it out, but will text me, hey, pubg tonight. No, it was the next day. The next day, Hey, you good.

00:38:36
Speaker 2: It's like because our r chat to Puffg's going off and shureham, you don't hear anything out of shroom well.

00:38:41
Speaker 4: And when I get a text from Will usually it's like something to do with social media. So my initial was like you good. I was like, what what is he referring to? And checked my socials. I was like, I've been posted anything today, and then.

00:38:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, I said you good. Then sent them a screen.

00:38:57
Speaker 3: You sent me the screenshot hard group.

00:38:59
Speaker 2: Chat that plays video games a night, because this was a round. This was on like New Year's right, this is Friday? Yeah, yeah, whatever Friday was, Yeah, whatever Friday was. And like you good, he said, sir, yes, sir. And I just sent him a screenshot of us like getting to dinner or some chicken dinner or playing the game. And I was like, Noah died last night, and you Min died last night, and you were nowhere to be seen, you know, where to be found.

00:39:24
Speaker 4: My reply was and we gotta get the screenshots. It'll make this story so much better.

00:39:30
Speaker 3: But I sent something back like oh dude, it wasn't wasn't going down last night. Promise you that last thing Sherman Young is doing on that Friday night, is getting on bubbg. Yeah, that would have been a death sentence.

00:39:44
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:39:44
Speaker 2: The Friday was like my first day of normal. That felt like normal routine. Yeah, freedom, but getting out of the trenches of what happened during the week of Christmas because we shot our episode on which day was a Monday or Tuesday? Tuesday? Yeah, it was Tuesday, so December twenty third. Yeah, and on that episode, I was talking about how, you know, a couple of them are feeling better, we might be on the other side of it.

00:40:11
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:40:11
Speaker 1: It continued.

00:40:12
Speaker 2: It actually ramped up again because Rue ended up catching an ear infection on Christmas Eve. On Christmas Eve, Charle was down and out, still in bed. She doesn't feel good. She was running a temperature again or she was running a fever again. I think like one o two.

00:40:28
Speaker 3: Charle was, yeah, because relapsed on the flu as she just didn't get it all.

00:40:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, she didn't like get it all the way down because she was feeling better with whatever medicine we use. It's like the moment we kind of start feeling better, we kind of get off of whatever. Yeah, yeah, it is. But Charle was still down and out in the morning on Christmas Eve. That morning, Uh, Scotty had a bad night and uh she was still running a fever and then Rue's fever ramped back up, like Ruse was down on Tuesday, and then it caught back up again on Wednesday morning. She wasn't feeling good and she was running one of those three and we're kind of like, God, what is going on? Like when are we going to get out of this? Because Ruse fever started on Saturday and now it's Wednesday, it's ran back up again. Scotty had it on Monday, was kind of getting still getting through the flu. She was very congested having those fever. Was I talking about the fever jumps on the last episode? No, okay, So that night Scotty's temperature was at one o three, one oh four.

00:41:25
Speaker 3: And the poor girl, bro that's pretty high.

00:41:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, because when it's one oh five plus for kids, that's when it's like urgent care all of that. Yeah, So we're we hate it for because we're trying, we're giving our medicine, like Scotty was fortunately taking the syringe, taking the medicine. Rue you had to negotiate every time you had to get orange juice involved. She would argue with you, I'm telling you don't want to get to the spot where I'm holding you down and we're forcing this medicine in your mouth.

00:41:48
Speaker 3: Because you're taking it.

00:41:49
Speaker 2: I'm like, and every time you take it, you feel better, and then we relapsed. We don't take it because you tell us you're feeling better, and then you wake up the next morning you got the fever again. Like you've got to stay on this scale of taking the kid's ibuprofen and whatever else it is.

00:42:04
Speaker 1: I reached out to you one night. You and Jill.

00:42:06
Speaker 2: You guys were helpful, Jill being a nurse, but Scotti, the poor girl, bro. She was running a one o three, one oh four, and she would have these fever jumps, which is essentially like think of yourself in a nightmare and you like you just jump up in your body. Your body shakes like heart. She would get comfortable and fall asleep in my arms when I was put her down for bedtime on This was Tuesday night, and she would like start to fall asleep, like just be on the surface level, get in the what is it, not the rem but get in her first like stage of sleeping she starts to doze off, and she would jump and her eyes would pop open and she'd just start crying because it's like she's freaking herself out. But once she made eye contact with you and you let her know were safe. Paint, It's okay. But she was hitting these fever jumps.

00:42:49
Speaker 3: Bro.

00:42:49
Speaker 2: That night on Tuesday, she probably woke up. She usually goes down for bedtime at seven. She probably woke up nine times before eleven pm. Oh my god, before eleven pm, and she would just like jump, and you know, once it went for a while enough to where I could put her down on the crib, she'd be asleep in the crib and I'll just hope for the best.

00:43:05
Speaker 3: And then probably five minutes later, I'd be looking at her on monitor.

00:43:08
Speaker 2: She'd hit a jolt and like, you know, looking around it, she's you know, she's she's freaking out.

00:43:14
Speaker 1: She's not scared when that's happening.

00:43:15
Speaker 4: Yeah, in nine times before eleven o'clock, that means she's she's waking up, she's not getting the sleep that she needs, which then if you have a deliriously tired toddler, then it starts.

00:43:27
Speaker 1: Getting even worse. And then they get congesteds.

00:43:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, when they're crying hard, it's forcing out all the congestion through their nose.

00:43:32
Speaker 1: So I'm having to take the snot sucker.

00:43:34
Speaker 2: I'm going on solo missions with the snotsucker, like trying to hold her arms down and have the snotsucker go in each noshra while she's thrashing her head around and just trying to suck snot out so at least she can feel clear there. So when she does fall asleep. But that night, I end up taking Scottie down to bed with.

00:43:49
Speaker 1: Me and Charles.

00:43:50
Speaker 3: Charles already asleep. She went to bed at like eight o'clock that night.

00:43:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get in bed and I just got Scotty and I'm just kind of sleeping with her for most of the night. Charlie helps out on the the next half, like probably starting out, let's just say three, because Scotty every now and still jump. So we didn't get a whole lot of sleep that night. So Charli Wick's up the next morning. It's Christmas Eve, show us us up a pediatrician appointment because they got back to us on Tuesday. Hey, let's set an appointment. A fever doesn't calm down. So I'm going into the pediatrician with both kids on Christmas Eve on Christmas Eve morning. Ideal good yeah, good, great, this is this is this is what we pray for me. Hey Christmas doctor, Yeah, yeah, hey, merry Christmas Eve. Yes, the kids are sick. You're kind of getting all of their vitals and everything checked. There were you know, they're running fevers. Find out with Ruth the reason her spikes back up. She catches an ear infection from the flu. So Rue now has an ear infection. Scotty's years are fine, she just has the flu. Yeah, we go back home. We do our best to embrace Christmas and Christmas Eve. Like that day my family who's coming into town, they cancel planes.

00:44:50
Speaker 1: They don't come in.

00:44:50
Speaker 2: Oh no, yeah, and was it your brothers? Were they My brothers and my dad were coming in or for Christmas? They were going to travel in I think on Christmas Day, But then they canceled plans because kids that flew hey, they're not going to get better.

00:45:02
Speaker 3: Oh yeah.

00:45:03
Speaker 2: And usually I want to say the the like gentleman's rule or fact is like, hey, when it's like twenty five hours, are still contagious? Twenty four hours after having a fever after the fever goes down. Yes, so my dad didn't want to get sick, and you know, nobody they didn't travel in but we did our best to embrace Christmas. Even Christmas, we end up going to Target getting some gingerbread houses. Again, it was a little chaotic, but they're trying to keep this christmaspirit alive.

00:45:30
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:45:30
Speaker 2: I got this this little camp Snap eight that uh white elfin gift I got for the office.

00:45:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, nothing's sick, but I got one for charing.

00:45:37
Speaker 2: We're kind of doing like these home videos, this home video feel with this camp snap bait. It's this camera for about one hundred and seventy bucks that you can get online. No free shoutouts to camp snap. But yeah, well, like we still had a lot of fun. But dude, it was we were in the trenches and it felt like the first normal day that we had. When I'm reaching out trying to get the boys together for some gaming. Was that Friday was on Friday, Yeah, because Christmas was Christmas.

00:46:01
Speaker 1: Eve was tough.

00:46:02
Speaker 2: Christmas was a lot better. Charles's parents came over. They were like, Scottie still she wasn't feeling the best. Rue was feeling a little bit better. But you're just all these different routines because she's been out of school, she's been on Christmas.

00:46:13
Speaker 1: Break, she's been sick. But we still had a great Christmas.

00:46:17
Speaker 2: But it was a grind, bro, And I feel like the flu went around everywhere. I feel like any anybody that I've connected with that has kids, they have some story recently within whether it's the month of November December where they're just getting out of the flu or they're just now in the flu. But it was it was ripping around, Bro.

00:46:35
Speaker 3: Flu season is a thing.

00:47:41
Speaker 1: I'm just zapping it out of.

00:47:43
Speaker 4: Her to quote Will Compton, Buddy, do I have something for you? The auto snot sucker. You literally hit a power button and then you get to control the sucking power of it. It's got like three different uh little pieces like ends to put it into the nose. It's got like a real wide one to start. You spray salene up there and you start with the wide one and then you move down to like the titaned filters. It's the funnest thing in the entire world, buddy, It's the best thing in the entire world. I'll take a picture of it for you today. Might get home buddy, I need that, buddy, you do op telling you you will personally love it.

00:48:30
Speaker 3: It's fun to use.

00:48:32
Speaker 1: I was using my nose.

00:48:33
Speaker 3: You can, you literally can and it will work.

00:48:37
Speaker 4: And Scarlett is a fan of it too, because like the manual thing and the bulb, like it's just so much like.

00:48:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they're in their mind like full, I'm about to get tortured because they got to get held down. Scarlet with instantly start keep her keep her face still, keep her face.

00:48:53
Speaker 3: Radio but hard.

00:48:56
Speaker 1: I need the.

00:48:59
Speaker 2: Just ripping their head around and they're just screaming still afterwards because the trauma event that just took place. Yes, so you know, it's like they're just activating all of this this congestion again.

00:49:08
Speaker 3: Yes, dude.

00:49:09
Speaker 4: When I do the auto one with Scarlet, she knows and she's trying to like she likes to like kind of try and grab it. She's still doing her baby thing, but she is so like, hey, this thing's great, totally fine with it.

00:49:22

Speaker 1: I appreciate that.

00:49:26
Speaker 3: I'll put you on game.

00:49:28
Speaker 2: I appreciate that. Another thing that we are currently going through, we're in a phase of life of is Scotty is swinging on Rue.

00:49:36
Speaker 3: Tell us about that. What's going on, scott Zilla. It's funny. It's funny, dude.

00:49:43
Speaker 2: I like I got to hold back my laughter because when it happens like that's I guess Scotty trying to communicate and everything else.

00:49:49
Speaker 3: Like Roo might have a toy she wants, and Scotty like walk over there.

00:49:52
Speaker 2: And she'll just just whop her in the head or try and hit her in the face.

00:49:56
Speaker 3: Of the shoulder, whatever she can get a hold of Rum.

00:49:58
Speaker 2: And she just with her little body just stands there, the little scott Zilla to be.

00:50:02
Speaker 3: And she stands there and looks at Ruin. Rue knows she can't like hit her back.

00:50:05
Speaker 1: She knows.

00:50:06
Speaker 3: We're like, hey, we tell Scotty, hey, gentle, we don't hit we don't. We don't have her sister.

00:50:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't want to treat that's not very kind and you want to hit big sissy. And then she try and go for a swing again. I'll like grab her on like easy, Scott's dealing easy.

00:50:19
Speaker 1: I'll pick her up and take her away.

00:50:21
Speaker 2: But moments where it's happening, it's kind of away from us, and we will be like you'll hear start whining or start crying, and I'm like, Rue, I'm like, you just gotta just walk away from her. Don't just keep standing in the same spot to let her tea all funny. Yeah, yeah, she like walks away from her to go on the couch, and Scotty starts like mosing around and then starts heading towards the couch.

00:50:41
Speaker 3: Scotty, Scotty, No, No, we don't hate your sister.

00:50:44
Speaker 1: We don't hit your She's.

00:50:45
Speaker 3: Just the slowest heat seeking missile.

00:50:47
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:50:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, dude, it's so funny.

00:50:50
Speaker 6: Man.

00:50:51
Speaker 3: Favorite will is of right now is the long distance Scotty from like long distance of just you trying anything you can. Oh my god, dude, I put up. Do you know what an upright seat is? Some pet siccos at home probably know what it is. It's one of those like chairs that you sit that like is real hard on the back, so it teaches the baby to want to sit up and kind of work on balance. Has a little table in front of it. Have you ever seen one of these?

00:51:20
Speaker 1: No? I don't think so.

00:51:21
Speaker 4: Okay, we put like whenever we need our hands for you to like cooking stuff, we'll put Scarlet in the upright seat and then put the upright seat on top of our island because it is so we got it.

00:51:35
Speaker 2: We got a little seat that we set on the island and we just kind of buckle her in.

00:51:38

00:52:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I hit her with the scarlet. Hi, Oh my goodness, let's put that back. Yeah, just like giggling, thank you for getting that out and help me put that back in. It's like we're officially in that stage. She can move and groove now, bro, They're all over.

00:52:29
Speaker 2: When they get to where they can walk and everything else there. Scott Zilla is all over the place. She will be like in the in the cabinets where she like, you know, they're down, you know, down on the bottom, the bottom half. Yeah, she'll open the cabinet by the TV and like climb in the cabinet trying to just basically like the babies. Dude, they don't They clearly don't have any sense of like putting things back. They don't understand that concept whatsoever. They just want to rip everything out of the cabinet.

00:52:53
Speaker 1: Yep. So it's like.

00:52:54
Speaker 2: We have the cabinet with the with toys or board games, whatever it is. She has to take out it. She's taking out every board game, all the construction paper from doing Arch and Crash. She takes it all out, perfect, the glues, the pain's good, perfect, she takes it all.

00:53:07
Speaker 3: I'm Scottie, we can't keep doing this. We got to put this up.

00:53:10
Speaker 2: I'll start putting back to the construction paper and she'll now lean down and grab the construction paper and hand it to me.

00:53:15
Speaker 3: Oh, yes, this is what we do. We put it back. Really, we're done.

00:53:18

00:53:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's the kind of the stage where in with the scott Zilla and poor Rue. She's just got to take it. I'm like, Scotty, you just she could work you over if she wanted to. Fortunately, we've taught her not to swing back at you.

00:54:08
Speaker 4: Yeah, and the good I mean we could work on ruse bobbing and weaving. That's like something we could lean into.

00:54:15

00:58:59
Speaker 4: This isn't this isn't TikTok, you know where everybody's trying to get somebody in the comments.

00:59:05
Speaker 2: I mean, then your first time putting out a post because you've heard recommendations like hey, you know there's Facebook groups out there, and you're thinking, oh, like would that be let's try it out. You're throwing different things at the wall.

00:59:44
Speaker 3: Literally, and this guy just comes in and goes, hey, piece of shit, what the.

00:59:50
Speaker 2: What type of mentality is in this group? Or in this community on Facebook, and it's just waiting to see stuff like that to think, Hey, you are a piece of shit parent for even thinking about allowing anybody to look after your kid, because you should be locked in the house twenty four to seven doing absolutely everything with your kid. You're a piece of shit mom. Yeah, Like that's that's that's crazy. Loser mentality.

01:00:37
Speaker 1: That's it.

01:00:38

Speaker 3: There's forty six dudes that did not graduate high school with her yelling at her.

01:02:45
Speaker 5: My brother and I we do knuckle cracks and going. We don't go to the hometown bars anymore. Because we do knuckle cracks and do business. We are worthless. We can go after them. Sure you let us know.

01:02:55
Speaker 3: Oh my god, that's what I'm saying. People for much less, man, Oh man.

01:02:59
Speaker 4: I I didn't wait because Jill really was frazzled by it, and I didn't want to like make it a bigger deal because it's a funny story to tell now. But in the moment, I was like, oh, dang it, I wish you kindn't deleted that. I wish you had screenshoted that we live and we learnt the other day and hey, thank god they will come. Thank god we found Julia. Honestly, she seems like she's gonna be incredible, and tonight's are our first night she uh, we get to go watch Jared Beeman's specials, so people that are watching on Wednesday, he performed live on Tuesday night. It's Zanie's in Nashville, and Julia's gonna arrive at six.

01:03:44
Speaker 3: Tonight.

01:03:45
Speaker 4: We'll already have Scarlet bathed and in her jammys, so she's nice and happy when she sees Julia. We've heard that a quick exit is key.

01:03:55
Speaker 3: Do you want to weigh in on that at all?

01:03:56
Speaker 1: Willie trying to line up if we can get some childcare for the.

01:03:59
Speaker 3: Oh live childcare lineup, let's go weigh in on which part. Sorry I did not know you're on the phone.

01:04:06
Speaker 4: That wasn't like, oh, you're good, come back in here, but would you want to weigh in on the uh quick exit. That's what we've been told from babysitter Julia that the faster we get out of there, the better for Scarlet.

01:04:19
Speaker 3: The faster you get what's better for Scarlet.

01:04:22
Speaker 2: Like when Julia arrives, take an exit, like leaving the comedy show. I'm like, okay, well she if she's sleeping, Hey, what you're thinking that quick? Like when you're you're you're thinking of leaving scar scar when it all goes down.

01:04:37
Speaker 4: Yes, like when Julia arrives. It's a quick hand off is what we've been told. Helps it does. Okay, a quick hand off is the goal. Okay, you're not gonna do just a quick hand off. You're gonna hand scar Scar off.

01:04:51
Speaker 2: You're gonna you know, the sad It's it's corraling the sadness that you feel that you know Julie's are, that you know Jill's gonna feel.

01:05:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, that you know Scarlet might creep up.

01:05:03
Speaker 2: The best thing that could happen is if she's just not aware, she doesn't have that separation anxiety yet. I forget what month that starts coming along. You might be in the clear since he's only six months since she is only six months old. Yeah, so if that's the case, a quick exit will be it'll be harder on you, guys than it is Scarlet. It's when they start forming the separation anxiety and they realize, you, guys are leaving for dinner to where sadness really like it keeps older and you're just like, hey, sweetheart, we have to get out of here. And then you're leaving the dryway and you're just both sad leaving for date night, and you're like, should we cancel the date night because we feel like shit having to leave, having to leave our little girl and we.

01:05:37
Speaker 3: Can't date We can't cancel date night?

01:05:40
Speaker 1: Is this?

01:05:40
Speaker 3: Oh?

01:05:40
Speaker 1: No, cannot cancel date night? This is big.

01:05:42
Speaker 4: This is this is a pivotal night, not only for date night, but this is a really big night just in busting in general and for Jared, like, this is a we have to go tonight, this is I have to And it's.

01:05:56
Speaker 1: A tone setter for you guys.

01:05:57
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty six, as far as twenty four, Yeah, yeah, tone setter in twenty six, she's incorporating getting getting a date night in your bag, Yeah, and realize, hey, this is good for us, Yes, but six months old, quick exit, that is the right strategy. I if I'm assuming correctly, I don't think she'll have a whole lot of separation anxiety.

01:06:18
Speaker 3: I don't think. So it's just you guys stepping out, and then your guys a sadness as you leave.

01:06:22
Speaker 4: This is how I picture it. Baby Bajorn is facing television. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is rocking the.

01:06:29
Speaker 3: Manckey Mouse Clubhouse. She's got the O ball. That's her favorite toy. Dude, shout up the O ball. Another another, another must is what's her name?

01:06:40
Speaker 1: Julie?

01:06:41
Speaker 3: Julia?

01:06:41
Speaker 1: Julia?

01:06:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Julia.

01:06:43
Speaker 1: Sending a pick within ten minutes.

01:06:45
Speaker 2: Oh so when you leave and she's playing with a scarlet, Yeah, gets a smiler, crack a smile. You cracked that photo. No, she's you send it to Mam and dad. Mam and dad now knows she's in good hands. She's having fun. She's not the sadness that you might assume she's feeling since you left the house isn't really, it's just your own assumption, it's your own fear. Yeah, but you get a photo within ten minutes of her having fun or doing something, You're all said.

01:07:06
Speaker 3: Game over.

01:07:07
Speaker 2: Game over and then Mom will probably want like a photo check in, you know, every hour or so.

01:07:12
Speaker 4: And I think Mom is looking forward to Jill's looking forward to tonight more than I ever could, to be completely honest. That's good because if you chalk it up, we have had two proper date nights in the last six months. I mean, my girl is looking to get out of the house, as am I.

01:07:27
Speaker 1: So maybe eat the old shockwave tonight. Come on, I might be two nights in a row.

01:07:35
Speaker 4: Okay, I digress, I digress. Any Dad losses or anything.

01:07:41
Speaker 1: For you, sir, six am this morning.

01:07:50
Speaker 3: Hey, come on, man, look at us in twenty six.

01:07:55
Speaker 1: And the tone in twenty six.

01:07:57
Speaker 3: Damn man, congratulations, thank you. The trenches. Do you have anything for the trenches? Do you have a crack a cold one?

01:08:06
Speaker 7: Oh?

01:08:06
Speaker 2: Like my trenches was what I was talking about earlier with the flu, the chaos, everything else.

01:08:11
Speaker 3: Scott's tilla hit.

01:08:13
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just these are the stuff that's popping up in parenthood for us right now. I know, like when Charle and I we sit and reflect on twenty twenty five and we look at twenty six. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, a lot of it for us is just we just feel like, which I've explained on the pod before, we feel like we just work in parent the whole time, like finding you know, social life in twenty six and more so not because we do a lot of We do a lot of social stuff like with the kids, Like we get out of the house a lot, We well on trips, we do the different things, but just you know, friends, like just getting out having more time for ourselves.

01:08:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, figuring out how.

01:08:49
Speaker 2: Just we we maneuver that and kind of fit that in because again we just we stay busy. Yeah, Charles just dabbling in her mind. I know she stresses about should I work less? Like she's very ambitious, She's like minded. She's kind of like minded, uh with myself in that regard because I just think, man, there's always gonna everything will be seasonal, there'll be pockets for enjoying, you know, more freedom for ourselves. And she's never been during football season. It feels like it ramps up even more every year when it comes to football season, which has which makes us more intentional about whether we're doing date night or staycation or stuff with the kids whatever that whatever that may be. But I know those are like conversations. We have to kind of keep us going. One thing that fired me up is the other night, everybody's got their twenty six New Year's resolutions, as far as routine and structure, and you know, whether it's you want to win the morning, you want to wake up earlier, you want to get your U time in before the kids get up. We want to get to better earlier. I want to read more, want to be healthier, all of those things. But the other night what got me juiced up is when I was studying for busting. The next day, I'll stand up. I was up watching the Steelers Ravens game.

01:10:03
Speaker 3: A little awesome, a little bit of also a little bit of Lambman, absolute snooze fest.

01:10:07
Speaker 1: Right now, Labman is the TV series.

01:10:08
Speaker 3: One more now? It sucks right now, Hey, one more episode like that, Sheridan and Willie sees.

01:10:14
Speaker 1: I could be jumping ship. I could be jumping hip.

01:10:18
Speaker 3: I just have to say this one word.

01:10:20
Speaker 6: I had a buddy who came to me and told me that lamb Man is basically just big old soap opera, and to ruin the fucking show for me.

01:10:25
Speaker 1: I can't watch it.

01:10:26
Speaker 2: It has become that and nobody gives if Taylor shared, and I'm sure he tunes in, because like, nobody gives a fuck about the old People song, They don't, no one. No one cares about the side story going on with the daughter and the wife.

01:10:47
Speaker 6: I'm not into Cooper's thing with you know, the the girl either Tommy's son.

01:10:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, neither am I Yeah, I don't give a ship about that. Yeah, I care a little bit about.

01:10:59
Speaker 2: I'm more interested in in his journey with the cart on, his business, the cartel, the oil, the stuff where he's hit.

01:11:06
Speaker 1: He's six for six, all those things.

01:11:08
Speaker 6: I want, oil and war, in negotiation and cartel. No one's even died in this fucking season. No anybody, anybody riding the chalk wave in this season? Has there been any store.

01:11:20
Speaker 2: There's been some shockwave moments in the shockway.

01:11:24
Speaker 3: The soap operas have shockwave.

01:11:25
Speaker 2: But the stuff you care about in Land, man, it's just it only happens like five minutes an episode. The rest is filler bullshit. You know, awesome soundtracks are just showing what goes on in the oil fields and fucking everything else. Dude, I'm telling you it's and I'm somebody.

01:11:42
Speaker 3: I love this. I love this, like I want to love the show Yellowstone until it got soap Op. You love Tulsakings, love Tulsa King.

01:11:51
Speaker 2: I love Paramount Plus TV series, especially from Taylor Sharder.

01:11:54
Speaker 1: But I'm just letting him know you're losing everybody.

01:11:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you don't want to lose me.

01:12:00
Speaker 4: Tell you a little a little something something that may be the issue.

01:12:05
Speaker 3: Taylor often Sheridan.

01:12:08
Speaker 4: Taylor Sheridan often writes those scripts like the first season will be primarily him, will be primarily him, and then it gets handed well, you know, once it successfully launches, that's then handed to a writer's room, so it's it's executive produced by Taylor Sheridan. But like, once it's proven its success, it's handed off.

01:12:32
Speaker 3: He's he's off to the next project.

01:12:34
Speaker 1: Oh that's a bummer to hear. I didn't know that.

01:12:36
Speaker 6: I didn't know that business one of the best sports of television all of twenty twenty four, and.

01:12:40
Speaker 3: It was good. I'm on the Fallout. I'm in Fallout too. I like Fallout so good.

01:12:45
Speaker 6: Now Fallout show to talk about a show that's delivering off a great season one, season two, I've been good.

01:12:51
Speaker 1: I derailed your story will go what.

01:12:53
Speaker 2: Was my story because it got the rails, but I don't remember what it was. I don't mind that I forgot because I had to get it over watching the ravens. Oh, juice me up. There we go, Thank you, chef, Thank you chef. Charle comes up and she's like, uh, like, what are you up to? She rarely comes up and comes in the bonus room and everything else, like late at night to say good night or going to bed. She'll usually shoot me a message or she'll should still be up when I'm done doing whatever I'm doing. That's your dom, man. Yeah, it's usually it's it's really c's domain. Hey, sweetheart, knock next time you're coming.

01:13:24
Speaker 3: Yeah.

01:13:25
Speaker 2: She goes over, gives me a kiss. I'm like, what do you what are you up to? She's like, I'm going to bed. And I look at my I look at my watch. Check out the new garment that my wife got me for Christmas. Shout out this Christmas gift. I love it, and shout out. And it was nine oh four and I'm like, you're going to bed and she's like, I'm doing it. I'm going to bed early, I'm getting up. I'm getting up in the morning. And I'm like, what what are you gonna do in the morning. She's like, I'm just gonna do something for myself. And when she left, I gave her a kiss. She goes downstairs, and as I'm sitting there for probably the next hour, just every few minutes, it just comes back on my mind, like this is it. This is where I need to just buy in do something. My wife and I will get to be like accountabill of buddies together because I kind of need like it always feels like it's a a one may mission that I always fail because I'll stay up, I'll play video games, whatever it is to where I justify something in my head to where I'm like, Okay, I got to sleep in until the kids get up with just seven o'clock, or I'll set the alarm for six forty five once the kids will be up.

01:14:20
Speaker 3: You sure you hear something on the monitor and you kind of get going.

01:14:24
Speaker 2: But I'm like, dude, whenever I get done, do whenever I'm doing, I need to go downstairs and go to bed, and I'm going to join her and getting up early in the morning because she wants to wake up at six knock out whatever it is.

01:14:33
Speaker 1: Before the kids get up.

01:14:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm just juiced up, like I'm like proud of her and also fired up because I'm like, this is this is this is what I feel like is like a missing piece because I can't let her out work me.

01:14:45
Speaker 3: No, definitely not out do me. Definitely not.

01:14:48
Speaker 2: I can't be the one staying up late sleeping when she's grinding whatever it is.

01:14:53
Speaker 3: Can't let her out do me. The one thing that I.

01:14:55
Speaker 4: Will say about this industry that we work in is the busy season is extremely busy for you in particular as well. So I'm kind of speaking for myself, but I'm sure i'm speaking for you too. But that meantime, whatever that thing that you're gonna challenge yourself with or hanging out, I'm looking to do the same thing this year too, because I desperately need it, desperately desperately.

01:15:19
Speaker 2: And knowing my wife's gonna be going to bed earlier, just it just I don't know, it's something in the back of my head like I need to get ready and get in bed, get the amount of sleep she's gonna be getting, wake up early in the morning. Like just telling each other like hey, if I'm still sleeping or vice neooze, and you see me still kind of knocked out, like nudge me and tell me like, hey, we're getting up.

01:15:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, because we'll be doing our own thing.

01:15:41
Speaker 2: But it's just like the thought of getting good, RESTful sleep, thought of getting up early and doing our thing, kind of winning our morning before we pour into getting.

01:15:49
Speaker 1: The kiddos up.

01:15:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I can make you know, sometimes when I'm up early, I'm able to like make the lunch before and so I can go upstairs whenever Ru's getting out of bed versus waiting for him to come down, and I'm in the case doing breakfast and getting trading and everything else. But that juiced me up so massive, like a massive win. I would say, a crack a cold one. So then I'm cracking a cold one too for twenty six for the year.

01:16:10
Speaker 3: Speaking of we got some big news with crack a Cold one.

01:16:13
Speaker 2: Do yeah, And I might have alluded to it on the last episode, but Ollipop is partnering with for the Dads in twenty six.

01:16:23
Speaker 1: And that is that is a huge win.

01:16:27
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, I've the excitement I got whenever our team told us that Ollipop's coming in. They're coming in the Busting universe, but a lot of the folkus like a lot of the driving was like the for the Dad's podcast. The excitement that I felt it reminded me of the excitement I felt when we landed like our first big one for busting with them. Really, Oh yeah, bro, because this is one. I enjoy the product. The very first time I put it out in the universe was when I did one of my gas station runs after bedtime and I was kind of ranking a few drinks. Said grape, I put my I put my mouth on, tasted it, and I'm like, one that's climbing the ladder quickly is classic grape lollipop. Like I've had a couple of the soda varieties before, but this one with the flavor of grape was touching my tongue a little bit differently to where I had to tweet about it. And then from there, I want to say, we might have talked about it on the show. We did something to where we were talking about lollipop and then I tasted Chris Bapple. Now I've tasted the watermelonline, I've tasted a variety of lollipop to where it's kind of been a language on our show with Papa Team six. We got pt sixers out there that have posted about it, I made videos about it, engage with us with it through comments or in voicemails about it, to where it's become like a thing on our show. And so the fact that something we've I've personally enjoyed, that we've grown to love and have incorporated in the show. Because when they came on board with us, the Lollipop Rep was somebody that was like a Nebraska fan. So they come and did a They did so as you guys, to let you guys know how some of this stuff works. The brain comes in to do ad reads, to kind of do something like, hey, let's do a two month d We'll do ad reads, We'll see how everything goes, and then you'll kind of go from there. Dip your toes if you will dip your toes a trial run, Let's see how this works. And to now they're coming in as a partner of twenty six with a bust with the boys at large and a big focus being on for the dads.

01:18:19
Speaker 1: Juice me up.

01:18:20
Speaker 3: That's a gainer off the high dive. You're not dipping your toes anymore.

01:18:23
Speaker 2: Because you always want to advertise for products and brands that you use and that you also enjoy and love. And so I am gassed. I'm gassed too about Ollipop coming in from for the dads. We gotta get Ollipop.

01:18:38
Speaker 1: What is it?

01:18:38
Speaker 2: Papa drink six, Ollipopa drink six. We got to get something made in the Olipop universe. It has to happen, because I posted my top three that's happening right now, chrisp Apple, Watermelon line, and Classic Grape. People saying people in the comments, classic Grape has just done the nose dice.

01:18:55
Speaker 1: It hasn't.

01:18:55
Speaker 2: I love Classic Grape, but chrisp Apple and especially water melon lime right now has been go to.

01:19:02
Speaker 1: For your boys.

01:19:02
Speaker 3: I have to do watermelon line because that's actually one of our favorite summer treats that Jill and ideas will buy a whole watermelon and we'll buy a bunch of limes and we'll squeeze the lime juice on the water. That's one of my favorite flavors out in the wh So the fact that Ollipop is cooking up something like that, talk to baby and.

01:19:21
Speaker 2: For Papa Tea for everybody listening, Papa Ollipop doesn't even have a read on today's episode. They're just gonna be joining us for all twenty six. They're gonna be sponsoring the Crack of Cold one segment in the future.

01:19:33
Speaker 3: But yeah, we just love Oli. We gotta talk about it. Yeah, we gotta talk about it. Talk about what's ollipop? What's the Because I see a lot of people, heye, what is it called ridge rush?

01:19:44
Speaker 1: Yeah? How is that not in the top three?

01:19:46
Speaker 2: I posted my top three ridge There are a lot of ridge Rush fans out there.

01:19:49
Speaker 3: Yeah.

01:19:50
Speaker 2: But for people that are unfamiliar with ollipop, it's just a great alternative. If you're a big soda drinker, yes, two to five grams of sugar yep, nine grams of pre buy fiber, good for your gut.

01:20:01
Speaker 3: Great. And if you're.

01:20:02
Speaker 2: Somebody that your wife's on you about drinking water, do this and that. Like I enjoy water, but I also like different tastes. Yeah, I like tasting something different, and alipop has been one of those drinks My go to is when I want something different than water.

01:20:15
Speaker 3: Yep.

01:20:15
Speaker 1: So again for people unfamiliar, not right, there's off the.

01:20:18
Speaker 3: Top, and that's off the top.

01:20:20
Speaker 4: I had a cream soda the other night, right, before bed, and I cannot obviously did it taste great? Sumon, Yeah, it tasted like fucking cream, soa it was a dream. But the part that it separates Ollipop is like having a soda before bed just makes me think, oh dude, my god, I gonna have bubble guts. What am I doing drinking a soda before bed, putting all this sugar.

01:20:43
Speaker 3: In my putting this before bed, brother, it was like I had a nice, clean, crisp glass of water right before I got you know what I mean, like feeling of it, but the taste of just the most buttery, sugary cream soda imaginable. I was like, dude, Ollipop really does it.

01:21:00
Speaker 2: Got the flavor you're seeking, got the carbonation that's a switch up from the water. And then again when you're done, you just don't feel lethargic.

01:21:08
Speaker 4: Yes, that we By the way, we just made zero sins in the last uh and I'm talking since dollars in the last however many minutes we've been talking about Ollipop.

01:21:20
Speaker 3: We're just sick of about it. We're showing we're showing our cars to Ollipop. We love you.

01:21:23
Speaker 1: We're so happy to sue Olli.

01:21:28
Speaker 3: Ollipop and Team six.

01:21:31
Speaker 4: I have a survival kit, just really quick before we get into emails and calls.

01:21:34
Speaker 2: I got a couple of dead hacks too, not that they don't come from us, but I have one here from Todd Gyles that I'm gonna share.

01:21:40
Speaker 3: Good.

01:21:41
Speaker 4: I My survival kit is just the Alexa dot And I know that Amazon doesn't need my help, all right, I get it, But I.

01:21:49
Speaker 3: Am telling you do.

01:21:49
Speaker 4: When I was making that dinner on Solo Saturday and I got Scarlet in my hands, I need the stakes got to come off in you know, forty five minutes, Alexa, set timer for forty five minutes. Forty five minute time or set veggies are coming out of the oven in twenty minute. Alexa, set timer for twenty minutes. I make Scarlett's bottle. She uses the uh one that's made with rice, the what was it called formula that's made with rice, Rice formula, Rice formula. It's got to sit for five minutes after you make it. Alexa, set timer for five minutes. And I know that all those timers are for the different things. Man, I'm just like even my dad mentioned it. He came in town for Christmas. He was like, I gotta start using my Alexa Dot for the timer. That's a great feature.

01:22:35
Speaker 1: It's amazing.

01:22:36
Speaker 3: I gotta start using it for that.

01:22:37
Speaker 2: I was like, Dad, it is That's really the only feature I use it for is at timers.

01:22:42
Speaker 3: Oh dude.

01:22:42
Speaker 4: And it's just like it's probably so slept on because a million and a half people already do that. But if you are a Petsiko that already has an Alexa Dot or a Google whatever, you know, whatever, you got, start using that timer feature.

01:22:57
Speaker 7: Dude.

01:22:57
Speaker 4: It's just like it is a a game changer, but it is a day saver, like it will save the day for you.

01:24:23
Speaker 1: Yeah.

01:24:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, and just everything that goes into the new eras towards it's it's a lot of behind the scenes stuff with that. Yeah, shows happening, show's getting canceled because of like terrorist type attacks. It's it's dat's it's a it's like a you know, if you're a Taylor Swift fan, but You're not like a Swift. You're not like in all the in all the lore, everything that goes on with Taylor Swift. You just you find a new respect for the artist. I found a new respect.

01:24:52
Speaker 4: This is like, I'm not trying to give some wishy washing compliment to my boss. Like I found a new respect for people Taylor Swift after seeing yours and Taylor's schedule during football season, of like, if this is what will and Taylor's schedule looks like? What does Tom Cruise's schedule look like? What does Taylor Swift's schedule look like?

01:25:12

Speaker 4: Dear Lord, that's got to be crazy. Stop stop it, no by, but I do mean that. I do mean it's crazy.

01:25:22
Speaker 3: Impsen seventy eight on Instagram said what up, guys, Proud Papa sick Proud Papa six member of two years. This week we have tried to move from her drinking her bottle from the nipple to a big girl cup. It's been a struggle trying to get her to drink her bottle and anything else. Any tips now. We also have a crack of cole Win slash Dad Loss here. Specifically, Tuesday night, my wife and I tried to give Oakley a sippy cup and she had to melt down. While we ended up giving in.

01:25:54
Speaker 4: She sat down with me on the couch to calm down and finish her bottle. I was watching the Tennis versus Illinois Bowl game and Oakley started watching. When my wife told my daughter it's time for bed, she said, no football and pointed to the TV proud dad memo. Luckily for me, it was less than a minute to go in the game and I was able to quickly put her down for bed. I appreciate you guys for everything you do, and since seventy eight Instagram.

01:26:21
Speaker 3: Let's go thank you for writing in thank you. What was the thing they wanted?

01:26:26
Speaker 4: Any tips over switching from a nipple bottle to sippy cup.

01:26:33
Speaker 3: Making that transition.

01:26:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to say our cups like we have like Scotti's one. She has the little two handed it's got the little handles on the side.

01:26:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, rabit.

01:26:43
Speaker 2: It's not like the nipple. It's like the flat nipple. Yeah, she's on that. But when we transitioned to we've tried a couple times, she's not there yet. But when we transition to trying to like hold a cup and drink we got the ones where the rim is like it's all closed on top. Yeah, and they have to be able to suck around the rim and if they suck on the rim, like water will come out.

01:27:03
Speaker 3: Yeah.

01:27:03
Speaker 2: She's not developed to where she's getting the water out yet because it's a little harder, yeah, because everything's kind of like enclosed. But that was that was That's how we started doing the transition from going nippleed to you know, a different alternative.

01:27:17
Speaker 3: And that's funny, dude, because Jill's already doing that unbeknownst to me, because I noticed that she got this like rubber fitting that goes on the doctor Brown bottles that.

01:27:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's where it has handled it two handles. Yeah, the two handles so they can like learn to grab or just do other things and just like holding the bottle. Okay, And now we're experimenting with that with that cup again, it's like a cup, it's like a it's like a flat top. Yeah, it's got the airways in it, yes, but you have to tip the cup and you have to suck from the rim, yeah, to kind of get out get out the fluid.

01:27:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, but Scotty's not she's not fully there.

01:27:52
Speaker 4: Yet okay, cool, And yeah, Scotty's only what one in two months?

01:27:57
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, months. Yeah, she's about to be one. Yeah, she's about to be fourteen months okay cool.

01:28:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's on the twys is too, oak least two years old, so like, yeah, you're getting there.

01:28:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just thinking what put their favorite drink and whatever you're trying to get.

01:28:12
Speaker 3: Them to enjoy.

01:28:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they could just be attached sometimes. The kiddos they have, they have their their routine, the things that they love.

01:28:20
Speaker 3: Oh I'm sure, dude.

01:28:21
Speaker 2: I don't feel like Scarlett's gonna be near as hard to get the passy from as Rue was was harder. Yeah, and Rue kind of went into two years old with the passifiers with Tigy.

01:28:32
Speaker 4: Scarlet also huge dad loss we have we've come to where the magic Merlin there's no more sizes.

01:28:40
Speaker 3: She's outground, that magic Merlin.

01:28:42
Speaker 4: Yeah, brother, that thing's been such a godsend and.

01:28:47
Speaker 2: Now you're back in the trenches. We're back in the trenches.

01:28:50
Speaker 1: Something new.

01:28:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's in the sleepsack and she's like doing cirducile, like in the crib. It's crazy. She's doing flips, she's doing twists.

01:29:00
Speaker 2: An exciting moment where you kind of go back and forth with whatever the drink is, like with whatever the bottle style of the cup style is. If you catch them in a good mood and you pretend to drink and you're like, you go and see if they kind of follow up.

01:29:12
Speaker 1: That could be helpful.

01:29:13
Speaker 3: Yeah, the show, you know, Monkey see, Monkey do type thing.

01:29:17
Speaker 4: I was asking Jill about that with solids and she was like, no, that's exactly what you don't do. I was like, oh, okay, well then, but fuck me, that's perfect terrible idea voicemail.

01:34:50
Speaker 3: Oh god, but I bet parking was a whole other ba nightmare.

01:34:53
Speaker 2: He said it was packed, bro. He said he's walking to do the lights, and it was like shoulder to shoulder, like you were in of a club, like a late night club.

01:35:02
Speaker 4: The best part that he told me was that the in laws, her parents Lindsay's parents left early enough to not hit the traffic, so they had to wait two hours for Jeremy and Lindsay and the kids to show up. And then the park was so crowded they couldn't even find them.

01:35:22
Speaker 3: Couldn't even find.

01:35:23
Speaker 4: Them, no self reception, couldn't find the kiddos, and they just called it quits, and we're like, we're out of here.

01:35:30
Speaker 3: Good this is crazy, good Man, that sounds brutal. I'm sure there are so many, so many moms and dads having PTSD right now with just any type of.

01:35:43
Speaker 5: He texted us too, and he's like, yeah, I don't know what this traffic's for. And I didn't have the heart to text back. It's for the zoo.

01:35:48
Speaker 3: For the zoo.

01:35:49
Speaker 5: He thought there was like an accident or something. He's like, these guys are turning around, they don't get it. It was for the zoo.

01:35:54
Speaker 3: I live off of Nolansville Pike. I'm like here in this area.

01:35:58
Speaker 4: So it is when summer hits and they start doing those summer kid day whatever, Like the traffic's crazy even then. So I can only imagine he probably could have parked at my house, walked from my house to the zoo and he would have beat going and doing it in the car.

01:36:17
Speaker 3: Easy easy.

01:36:19
Speaker 1: Gotta love Jimmy Chloe.

01:36:20

Speaker 1: Though, for keeping the kid's spirits up.

01:36:29
Speaker 3: Yeah.

01:36:29
Speaker 2: Sure, it's very hard. I'm sure there's moments we didn't hear about. Oh yeah, we didn't hear on the voicemail shouts to him for keeping the vibes up, shouts out or even using using weaponizing. Hey, we're gonna call it for the dads. Yeah, yeah, we're gonna call again. You know what I mean, Like, let's get hyped.

01:37:04
Speaker 1: Let you get into the wagon, pull me around.

01:37:05
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, this I just rereading this text chain between. It's all the producing guys in Jeremy in there, and it's uh rumors from the gas station crowd. The traffic is for the zoo. This would be devastating, Bellman, if true. This is like, let me see that was a oh the swipeover? That was a seven O eight seven seven eleven? Boys, is there something happening.

01:37:30

Speaker 7: Yeah.

01:39:41
Speaker 3: Enjoyed the shockwave, Brad, enjoy the shockwave. New birthday, You earned it. You earned it, big dog.

01:39:48
Speaker 2: I got one here from a Jason Quirk. Hey, guys, new listener here. My wife is halfway through pregnancy with our first child, a baby boy. Congratulations to you both. And I just started listening for the Dads a few weeks ago. It has quickly become my favorite podcast, and I really appreciate what you're doing in the honesty you guys bring to conversations. I had a question that I think you'd have valuable insight on. I'm a retired professional boxer and boxing was a huge part of my life for almost twenty years. Like a lot of former athletes, I always envisioned myself teaching my son to box one day, hoping he might follow in my footsteps. Boxing taught me confidence, discipline, and how to enjoy the suck. It showed me that no matter what life throws at you, you can push through adversity and come out the other side, come out better on the other side. Now that I'm almost thirty seven and becoming a father, I find myself wrestling with something I never really questioned before. Whether the lessons and accomplishments I gained from boxing outweigh the long term risks, especially concussions, will as a former professional athlete, ensure him as a new dad. How do you guys feel about your kids playing contact sports? How do I balance wanting my son to be tough, confident, and resilient, able to handle adversity, while all wanting to protect them and keep them safe. I'd really really appreciate hearing your thoughts. Thanks again for the show and everything you guys do. Jason, thank you for writing in, my friend. That's a great question.

01:41:12
Speaker 3: Great question one that I feel like you are more like tailored to answer.

01:41:17
Speaker 2: But I'll I'll chime in, uh man, honestly, like it hasn't since I have two daughters. It was a question I guess I thought about maybe before fatherhood, if I were to have a son like Charle and I we are the conversations are you know about number three? You know, pouring in and trying to get a third. And again I don't have a son, so it hasn't been something that I sit there and and have wrestled with the way it seems like Jason is doing.

01:41:44
Speaker 1: But it's a great question.

01:41:46
Speaker 2: You know, come playing a physical sport the way football is kind of trended with concussions, and you know when you should play tackle football and it should you.

01:41:54
Speaker 1: Hold your son out until a certain age.

01:42:00
Speaker 2: In I think for me, all the stuff that he sits there and talks about, where he says confidence, discipline, how to enjoy the suck, there is no substitute for learning those lessons in my opinion. Oh my god, I thought somebody was ripping.

01:42:16
Speaker 3: Ass on that game. That was if anybody heard that in the background.

01:42:18
Speaker 2: That was the longest muffler came by, and I thought chef was back there ripping a fart in the middle of this answer. I think for me, knowing what football gave to me and what football taught me, I would very much be aware and have you know, empathy. I guess on the physicality at a younger age, like if my kid wasn't tough, I just I just know certain things will come through, whether it's the right teachings, having the right conversations with him, seeing him.

01:42:51
Speaker 3: Grow in the sport of football.

01:42:53
Speaker 2: But if this was a dude who watched football with me growing up and wanted to play football, I might be methodical about when he would start tap football.

01:43:00
Speaker 1: But if he wanted to play.

01:43:01
Speaker 2: A sport that I loved and I know has given me so much throughout my life, and even in the back end where I think about, you know, the brain damage, the stuff that is now coming out about brain damage, and seeing guys age and seeing you know, guys either spiral or go downhill, and those are things that I worry about, But I also think to myself, like I would not if I could go back in time and do it over again, I would do absolutely nothing differently with the way my mom and dad kind of raised me, with the way I learned learned the lessons through physical sports and through sports and football in particular because it's such a team game. Like my brother Cody, he grew up he was a massive wrestler. I grew up wrestling until you know, I stopped wrestling, like in high school. But there's just lessons that there is no substitute for that you get through sports, through competition, through you're the man in the arena, whether you're on a team sport or an individual sport, like you win and lose as a team, and then if you're in an individual sport, it's all on you.

01:44:01
Speaker 1: So when you go out.

01:44:01
Speaker 2: There, put the ankle, bracelet on, whatever it is, the color trunks, the gloves you got. The result will always be what you sit there and reflect on. And there's all There's so many lessons that come in sport and in competition that I wouldn't shy away from my kids playing sports. Like if I had a boy, I wouldn't shy away from him playing football or tackle football. I might think about when he would start or how long he might play flag. But again, there is just absolutely no substitute for what you learn through sports. I think sports, and again I'm biased, but I think sports is the best teacher for life because you're around so many different You're around a melting pot of attitudes, of cultures, of just people that are different than you, people that have different skills, sets, sizes, everything, speed, and you learn so many valuable lessons within the game. Yeah, so him wrestling with the idea of boxing. Boxing is striking sport, there's I feel like a lot more that you see the residual effects of something like boxing. For sure, tour you can still implement your kid in boxing. Yeah, but maybe there's a conversation where we'll work it to this point. Maybe when you become of age and you decide if this is a route you want to go on your own, you can do it on your own.

01:45:17
Speaker 3: You're not necessarily pushing that on them.

01:45:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, But as far as sporing, as far as training, as far as like you know, getting into things with headgear and everything like that, I don't know enough about boxing.

01:45:26
Speaker 4: And all amateur to your exact point. All amateur boxing is going to have headgear, and it's going to have very very high ounce gloves like so the amateur stuff. I feel like there there are a lot of safety precautions built in.

01:45:41
Speaker 6: I would ask you, as someone who's played all levels of football, do.

01:45:46
Speaker 3: You think that the risk to kids?

01:45:48
Speaker 6: And I know we're not talking to any scientists, but a lot of kids won't make it past high school. That's just the nature of like the game. Do you think that there's any risk up until high school? Like course, there's risk anytime you're playing a contact sport. But isn't that, like the head injury stuff a lot more prevalent when you start making it to these really high levels of football where you're playing for a long long period of time. If if there's anything to that, have you noticed, like when you play like going from high school, it's a.

01:46:15
Speaker 2: Way more violent game at each stage for sure, But I want to say, there's research that comes out about even high school football players.

01:46:21
Speaker 1: That's why I was just more curious than trying to make and even are are you asking? Are you asking them.

01:46:26
Speaker 6: From a risk standpoint of someone who's played at every level like you, would you worry about it all like your kid playing up until let's say they only played until high school. I'm sure if you had a son, he would be a beast of an athlete and make it to the highest level, just like his dad. But let's say if there's a world where he only plays to high school, would you be beyond the like at the worry of oh, a freak accident or something you know that very small chance happens, would you be really concerned.

01:46:59
Speaker 3: Concern with him playing if he only played high school football.

01:47:03
Speaker 6: Let's just say he made it up to high school and didn't go any like because every just from what I've seen, I figured it's a lot more, like the risk goes a lot higher when you start making college and then.

01:47:12
Speaker 2: You're playing beyond high school. Yeah, for sure, because it's it's it gets a lot more. I mean, it's the more you get to the NFL, the more you're just having You're closer to being a grown man, and the speed and strength and size at each level obviously gets it gets bigger. I think if I'm here in your question, he's just making it like, am I Is there a risk factor when he's playing high school football?

01:47:38
Speaker 1: Yeah?

01:47:38
Speaker 6: Would you be concerned at all outside of the one off crazy incident like that you pray you never see in that sport, but like just in general, you know, freak.

01:47:48
Speaker 1: Accidents happened all the time.

01:47:50
Speaker 2: I think, no matter what, if you're playing a physical game like football, a hockey, any any physical sport, there's always freak accident situations that happen. That's like, thinking of that situation happening, they wouldn't lead my decision making, especially if my son loved the sport or if like if he wanted to play, like I wouldn't be the dad that's pushing football on him. I would hope to mold that he might enjoy football and see it kind of the way I do and the fun that it always brought me playing in Little League and everything else.

01:48:19
Speaker 1: But no, I would.

01:48:20
Speaker 2: It wouldn't like it wouldn't lead my decision making, just because again I grew up in it, Like it's it's a sport that I like, love dearly, and I think the world of football.

01:48:32
Speaker 6: I asked that to ask like, maybe if there's parents out there who are thinking about that or they never played, or you know, their kid wants to play and they're worried about serious head injury. As someone who's played the sport at all levels, like that's something that you could attest to where it's like I wouldn't you know, I would you know.

01:48:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think there's a wrong way to think about it.

01:48:52
Speaker 2: Like if somebody out of the fear or the risk that comes with football and they keep their kid out, I think there's no right way to go about it. I think that's their own prerogative and the own decision that they make. I'm not saying they're wrong for thinking that way. Some take that small risk chance and think of the worst case scenario, and then they just think like, hey, it's not this wouldn't be worth it. I don't want this happening. Yeah, and again it's just not. I just my world, in my view of it is is different, which is okay.

01:49:21
Speaker 4: Well, and like the I think the main takeaway that you said is the pros outweigh the cons and the lessons that they will learn from any team sport and freak if we're just talking freak accidents and injuries that happens in any sport.

01:49:37
Speaker 3: I had a kid break like you freak accent driving the car a car.

01:49:41
Speaker 4: Yes, there was a kin arn team that broke like fifteen bones in his face in a soccer game, and like it, crazy shit happens. All the stuff that you learned from playing team sports or from pee wee level to middle school to whatever.

01:49:56
Speaker 3: I couldn't agree more.

01:49:58
Speaker 4: Some of my favorite memories and some of my best life lessons come from the sports that I grew up playing.

01:50:04
Speaker 2: So you look back and your your you're happy whenever you know when my parents made me wrestle in high school my junior year.

01:50:13
Speaker 1: Yes, and just again.

01:50:14
Speaker 2: Some of the lessons that you learn in sports, Like I wanted to be good at football. I wanted to do what it takes to make it to uh each next level. I wondered when I was in high school, I wanted to be the kid that you know came out of eighth grade. When I was a freshman, I wanted to play varsity.

01:50:31
Speaker 1: And I wanted to I wanted to play at that level.

01:50:35
Speaker 2: So I would ask questions or I would learn from coaches or the people around me on what it took and some of those things like you don't want to do. It's like the sacrifice you make when you're waking up early in the morning at summertime and the boys are staying up late and hanging out and playing video games. Sometimes you partaking it, but then you're waking up at six am the next day to go into your summer workouts with football, and you're around the crew, You're around influence, you're around people who are better than you.

01:50:59
Speaker 3: Or people that want to make you better.

01:51:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, people that want to make you better, and you're stacking days and you learn over time. Like Nick saban Is, he's been I feel like he's the one who's coined the term.

01:51:10
Speaker 1: It takes what it takes.

01:51:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you just learn those fundamental values as you get older. Yes, like when I was, you know, in high school first making the switch from white bread to wheat bread. But either way, then you learn about how to read a label and if it's in reached enriched bleach flour, you're like, oh, it's not even the fact of going white bread and wheat bread. I can't have the enriched bleached flower That's how you learn about, Yeah, it's not good bread. And then you learn that all these other all these other breads out there, they're not even that good for you.

01:51:36
Speaker 3: It's soured ough bread. Oh, the gluten free bread.

01:51:38
Speaker 2: You just you continue to learn stuff, yes, throughout time that you're curious about because you want to you want to dial in everything through discipline and work ethic and what's the one percent better that I can get this year? And I feel like those are things that sports teach you when you want to be good at sports.

01:51:54
Speaker 4: Couldn't agree more any team mentality type activity.

01:51:57
Speaker 3: Rather it's sports.

01:52:00
Speaker 4: A scholastic team, like debate or theater, whatever, Like when you're in a team environment. I think that's some of the best life lessons come out of that. So anything that's pro that I'm pre that.

01:52:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's actually and Jason appreciate the email and that question. It's gonna be a question now that I think about and rack through my brain probably the next week or so, I can I can always come back with a better answer because that is I know a lot of parents think.

01:52:27
Speaker 3: About that stuff. Yeah, absolutely, so.

01:52:29
Speaker 2: As a conversation like, hey, if if you had a son, like when would you allow him to play tackle football? And just in my brain, I'm just like, as soon as he can play tackle football. The older I get, the more I think about it. Now that I have kids, now that I'm getting older and getting more I guess rational or thinking about those risks and things that come with it a little bit more. But no matter what, I just always default to there is no substitute for what sports can teach you. Yeah, for life, for social skills, for discipline, hard work, just what it takes. Hey, you want to make that team, this is what it's gonna take. You're not as good as the other kids. Here are the things that you're gonna have to work on. There's a different win that's going to at at that kid's sale, the wind might not blow as hard because genetically he's more gifted than you.

01:53:14
Speaker 3: That's okay. But if you want.

01:53:16
Speaker 2: To be if you want to make the team, if you want to start on varsity, if you want to make the JV team, you want to make the go whatever it is, there's so many stories that you're able to pull, whether it's the Michael Jordan when he didn't make his basketball.

01:53:27
Speaker 3: Team or you throwing a Rocky Balboa movie.

01:53:31
Speaker 1: Rocky bow Boy.

01:53:32
Speaker 2: There's just so much good storytelling and so many life lessons hies you can learn just by accepting whatever your reality is and figuring out, this is the way I'm going to have to work if I want to get to X, if I want to get to this point in life, and not worrying about the comparables and everything else. And it helps you narrow your focus and hone in on things. And then whether you get there, you fail, you hit the result or the goal that you wanted or you did, and everything you learn fundamentally along the way, you know you're gonna have to fall back on those fundamentals to get whatever whatever the next thing is. Whenever you do come up short and fail or whenever you do maximize or say hit your goal, it's always going to be a new goal that you try and attain to, and then you're gonna go off the lessons you learned from.

01:54:09
Speaker 3: Hey, coach is right. Mom and dad were right. This influence in my life was right.

01:54:13
Speaker 1: Man.

01:54:14
Speaker 2: I'm really glad I skipped this and chose to do this instead. Now that I look back, I'm very grateful and appreciative for the sacrifices I made to get to this point. If I go back and change something a little bit different, at this point in time, I now know that valuable lesson on the next kid that I'm talking to and can now give that give that feedback to him on hey, learn from me, be better than me. So parents think when they're coming up with their kids, they want them to be better versions of themselves, and so they always pull them from these experiences or examples from where they fell in life or where they didn't do well in life, or maybe they.

01:54:44
Speaker 1: Had success in life.

01:54:45
Speaker 2: And you got to figure out some way to where you don't come off as a know it all parent, but find a way to communicate with your kid like they might be able to retain this the same way I do. Or you're going into parent Hey, hey, do I think I'm going to be a good dad, because man, I had a shit household grown up and no disrespect to my mom and dad out there or my dad whoever raised me. Who knows if I have the tools necessary to be a successful parent or be a parent that I would want to be in life? Well, step one, you know what you don't want to be, which is a great starting point. So you'll be able to pull from all of those lessons and then when the time comes, you'll be able to again teach, teach downward, teach the next generation, teach the next group. Pick everybody's brain around you who does have parents, and you might be in a sticky spot why we have four of the dads. You sit there and learn lessons, and you hear stories, and you hear everybody have their and share their experience as a parent. Who because we all know it's sucky a lot of the times, but there's so much there's so many highs that come from with that. When you look back on you're like, man, I'm glad I embraced the suck in this moment, Like hearing clump on that voicemail or you might have handled that a lot differently, and you look back on you like, man, I should have done a much better job here. I should have had a much better attitude when my wife was handed me about becoming old Willie one shelf in that moment. Yeah, there's your lesson of the week.

01:56:01
Speaker 1: There's a lesson.

01:56:01
Speaker 3: There's the lesson. I uh, I just retweet everything that you said. I mean, I'm in full agreement.

01:56:07
Speaker 1: Dude.

01:56:07
Speaker 4: A huge fan of sports, huge fan of self improvement, huge fan challenging yourself. Uh I think the pros outweigh the cons. Yeah, so goodsoe sue me good. I had a had a life lesson. Wait, really, I was gonna say, I have a quote too. I can just do the quote. Get the quote, Okay, hit the quote. Life's a cliche, man, Life's of cliche. You're stuck somewhere. Go find a quote or a cliche or a lesson. I promise you there's stuff out there.

01:56:40

01:57:16

01:57:30
Speaker 3: If you don't know Dan Gable.

01:57:32
Speaker 4: Hey, I fell into a conversation with a friend that's from Iowa and wrestles a bunch and he told me to bring up that name to you. And that's why I was doing it yesterday because he was like, oh, bro.

01:57:43
Speaker 3: His juices will start flowing. Dude, he knows Dan He knows Dan Gable.

01:57:48
Speaker 2: When we got into wrestling young and again, my brother Cody, he was a stud at it.

01:57:55
Speaker 1: My dad similar to I'm.

01:57:56
Speaker 2: Sure Jason Cork where he's pulling, you know, when his son becomes evasion, I'm sure he'll be having them watch all these tapes of whether it be Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis like all these studs maybe his old man's showing tapes to him.

01:58:08
Speaker 3: But my dad would order all of these.

01:58:10
Speaker 2: Vhs teaching tapes of Dan Gable and we just sitting there. He'd pop it in the VCR before we go to practice implementing some of these practice techniques. He had a little matt that we could roll out. Oh yeah, baby, and we watched Dan Gable teach the sport of wrestling to us.

01:58:28
Speaker 4: For any pt siccos out there, they're also football siccos Dan Gables, like if Nick Saban and.

01:58:33
Speaker 3: Bear Bryant combined their dynasties and had a baby. Like the guy.

01:58:43
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we're the wrestling ciccos out there. They're pointing at the TV right now or in the audio banging the studio wheel. Yeah, these boys don't know Dan Gable. Get him out, Get him out in all of the concussion and brain talk. Take everything I say with the grain of salt.

01:59:00
Speaker 1: Again.

01:59:01
Speaker 2: I have a different, I guess, perspective of football, and my mentality was always different. I personally always thought it'd be an honorable death to go out on the football field. Yeah, and I in that time frame, I'm like, I don't know, I don't know.

01:59:16
Speaker 3: I don't connect with that guy as much anymore.

01:59:18
Speaker 4: I grew up in a small community in Alito, Texas, where if the six year old wasn't out there in full pads like bubblehead, Like, what.

01:59:26
