Speaker 1: She's like, I sent, we sent the itinerary over. You
Speaker 1: were all about the itinerary. I'm like, yeah, but I
Speaker 1: always still always thought it was July eighth. I didn't
Speaker 1: see the flights where it says July eleventh. The problem
Speaker 1: with that is on July eleventh, Connor McGregor fights in
Speaker 1: Vegas and my wife when we were getting to know
Speaker 1: each other, she asked me my bucket list. She asked
Speaker 1: me the bucket list question. And I'm in the middle
Speaker 1: of I'm in Washington, I'm in the middle I'm football
Speaker 1: will see.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I've never had like a bucket list. So she's
Speaker 1: kind of laughing at She's like, you don't have a
Speaker 1: bucket list, Like what are things you want to do?
Speaker 1: And I'm like, man, I don't know. She's like, do
Speaker 1: you want to go places? I'm like, I haven't really taught,
Speaker 1: like I don't really go on trips or nothing.
Speaker 3: Because again, win the Super Bowl, Yeah, win the Super Bowl,
Speaker 3: like be a pro bowler.
Speaker 2: Like, that's on my bucket list. You know what do
Speaker 2: you mean bucket list?
Speaker 1: Yeah, hundred tackles in a year, that's a bucket list item.
Speaker 2: Mean, fellas in the A Gap, don't don't you want
Speaker 2: to go somewhere? Oh? Yeah, the the NFL Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'd be sick to go down against the
Speaker 1: beach in Florida or something. She's like, what about other countries?
Speaker 1: And she's like laughing at me, And when I she
Speaker 1: was pressing me to think about it, I'm like, all right,
Speaker 1: what do I love? And I'm like, I grew up.
Speaker 1: I love free Willie. It'd be sick to swim with
Speaker 1: orcas in Norway, Oh it would be. And then I'm like,
Speaker 1: in this era I was, I loved Connor McGregor, Like
Speaker 1: it'd be sick to see Connor McGregor in Vegas. I
Speaker 1: had two items on my bucket list swim with whales,
Speaker 1: swimming the work of Whales, free Way, Connor McGregor, fight,
Speaker 1: come on, And those were the two. And so when
Speaker 1: she hit me with the eleventh and I'm like, Connor
Speaker 1: fights on the eleventh. How am I gonna get? Like,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be able to go now? And she's like,
Speaker 1: I mean, is that something you had to go to?
Speaker 1: And I'm like that that's that's you. You're not you
Speaker 1: created this monster, charl I didn't have a bucket, yeah,
Speaker 1: and I gave you two things. This is the bucket list.
Speaker 1: And now I'm hey, I was tight. It was one
Speaker 1: of those silent we drove to we were driving to
Speaker 1: get to get pizza at the time with the Kiddosy,
Speaker 1: She's gonna sat silently because there's a part of I
Speaker 1: gotta accept this, like nothing's gonna change, so so why
Speaker 1: create something bigger than it needs to be. I'm already
Speaker 1: here right now. Yeah, so let me just I'm more
Speaker 1: of an internalized like, just sit in it, just be silent. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but now I'm gonna try and make a play.
Speaker 3: You were You are quite literally explaining exactly where I
Speaker 3: was with first birthday party Baylor versus Aubury and Atlanta.
Speaker 1: Yes kind of yeah. I don't want to fully put
Speaker 1: charrowing the wrong of we oh said no, no, there
Speaker 1: was nothing you're putting Jill fulling the wrong. But I'm
Speaker 1: feeling like there wasn't like I didn't buy, I didn't
Speaker 1: do the planning, I didn't buy the tickets.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, to where I'm.
Speaker 1: Setting, and she throws something on me, Hey, we need
Speaker 1: to be staying untill the eleventh because of X, Y
Speaker 1: and Z. Yeah, this was like very premature when we're
Speaker 1: talking about it. When can you be gone for busting
Speaker 1: with the boys, because again, very intentional about trying to plan, prioritize,
Speaker 1: let's get away, Let's do vacation with your family, Let's
Speaker 1: just get out because we've been doing just a lot
Speaker 1: of shit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it was.
Speaker 1: Just always either June twenty sixth to July eighth or
Speaker 1: June twenty seventh to July ninth. When I look at
Speaker 1: the calendar, I'm like, it's gonna be our anniversary on
Speaker 1: the twenty sixth, It's gonna be a Friday. Let's just
Speaker 1: go on Friday because then we can get back a
Speaker 1: day sooner because I'm thinking about the work weeks and
Speaker 1: everything else. So when I found out it was the eleventh, dude,
Speaker 1: because she hit me with something, this is this would
Speaker 1: be like person, I don't know if I'm allowed to
Speaker 1: talk about it yet, but she's like, hey, I'm able
Speaker 1: to do X, Y and Z on Monday when we
Speaker 1: get back. And I'm like, Monday, when we get back,
Speaker 1: I was like, we don't get back into Wednesday.
Speaker 2: I'm like, when are we getting back? Thinking we're gonna
Speaker 2: get back the weekend before July eighth, and she's like, oh,
Speaker 2: we get back on July eleventh.

Speaker 1: like looked over at her because over in the passenger seat,

Speaker 2: Like, July eleventh, She's like, yeah, what's going on? I
Speaker 2: was like, what do you mean? What's going on?

Speaker 1: be there and be like, I'm gonna be stuck in
Speaker 1: Austria and Italy.

Speaker 1: feeling the sweat, tasting the salt, bro feeling the blows
Speaker 1: and the McGregor being away for five years walking.

Speaker 1: Year five is wood. The theme is wood. So I
Speaker 1: got her a picnic basket that says Compton Family on
Speaker 1: it because she loves picnics. Do good gift, freaky gift.
Speaker 1: But all I did going in there was get the
Speaker 1: gift out of the box. I was like, I didn't
Speaker 1: touch anything, and she's like, I guess it'll be a mystery.
Speaker 1: Then she's like, I was like, could you have rushed

Speaker 3: circle back that it was you. It's I feel and
Speaker 3: now I feel terrible because I was signing with charro
Speaker 3: on yeah, we we do shit like that, But you're
Speaker 3: saying we do do shit like that, to the point
Speaker 3: that if we didn't do that ship they could still say, hey,
Speaker 3: you did it.
Speaker 2: And they say to you enough that you won't you
Speaker 2: start to question your own you can tell yourself. I
Speaker 2: was believing her. I just wrote me that believes her,
Speaker 2: and I know I didn't. Yeah. I thought.

Speaker 1: beat you, but the pepper and enough to where you're like,
Speaker 1: maybe it was me, maybe, and maybe you know that
Speaker 1: it wasn't you.
Speaker 2: At all, but you just come around and take an
Speaker 2: accountability for it, because like this is worth it, he
Speaker 2: worth what's about to happen, and I won't do it again.
Speaker 3: And it doesn't even feel like you're like taking a
Speaker 3: bullet to like protect the president. It ultimately kind of
Speaker 3: feels like you're just humbling yourself. Yeah, just going you
Speaker 3: know what, I strip it off?
Speaker 2: You're right, Yeah, I know I didn't do it. Possibly,
Speaker 2: maybe I guess I did. I don't know. Yeah, because

Speaker 3: Yeah, the dishwasher. Usually when it runs, it's like and
Speaker 3: then for some reason that day you just hear the dishwasher.
Speaker 1: Stopping around the house, and God forbid you mess up
Speaker 1: Dad's by saying, oh, don't say it by just simply
Speaker 1: saying like, hey, sweet, are we going to start the show?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: Oh, I thought you were gonna go with the Hey, honey,

Speaker 2: there like, oh fuck, they're coming at my ass right now.
Speaker 3: Oh, this is something that I did or did not do.
Speaker 3: This is my fault.
Speaker 2: All of a sudden, Yeah, you're getting the very passive
Speaker 2: aggressive lecture in real time.
Speaker 3: Honey, the House of the Dragon season premiere comes out
Speaker 3: at eight, I don't know what they tell you?
Speaker 2: Yes, what did you say? How to Train Your Dragon

Speaker 6: What?
Speaker 3: And I was like, the new season and she was like,
Speaker 3: I didn't know they were doing a show on that.
Speaker 3: It was like doing a show we've watched the first
Speaker 3: two seasons together. What are you talking about? Finally the
Speaker 3: wires got connected. I figured out my mistake. It was
Speaker 3: not the season premiere of How to Train Your Dragon?
Speaker 3: House the Dragon, good show, good short tone center.
Speaker 1: If you'm a Thrones fan, House the Dragon starts off
Speaker 1: with a bang, I'm a big sheep.
Speaker 2: Yeah, who is it? Man? I can't consume enough of that.
Speaker 2: Oh of that content? I love it? And where was
Speaker 2: I going with all this? Was there? That House the
Speaker 2: Dragon world?
Speaker 1: Even the guy would almost be like, oh yeah, I
Speaker 1: just house the Dragon starts at eight, so I just
Speaker 1: figured we'd watch Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I figured we
Speaker 1: watch How the Dragon at eight, Like, let me help you,
Speaker 1: I've already done it all.
Speaker 3: No, no, well, I guess this blanket's already kind of
Speaker 3: warm because I've been laying here for a minute.
Speaker 2: So come on in. The only the only.
Speaker 1: Saving hate Hail Mary you can make is just getting
Speaker 1: them a glass of ice water.
Speaker 2: Yeah, or make it a little bag of popcorn for
Speaker 2: Jilly Bean.
Speaker 3: That's always a if she's kind of, you know, not
Speaker 3: feeling the movie night or whatever. You get a little
Speaker 3: bag of popcorn going. You get some M and m's
Speaker 3: and sprinkle it into the popcorn for Yeah, game over.
Speaker 1: We're just run of the closet, grab the vacuum and
Speaker 1: just turn it on and start going.
Speaker 3: Yes, the mop and the vacuum are a cheat code, dude,
Speaker 3: those are, but that would almost be with some comedic relief.
Speaker 1: Yes, in this in this scenario that we're talking about
Speaker 1: his mom's already wife, he's already upset.
Speaker 2: And you're really doing it with the mop.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're really I've already done Oh no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: there's gotta be something else we can do and then
Speaker 1: you just start weirdly like running in place, just kind
Speaker 1: of run the house looking for things.
Speaker 2: So well you mom, yeah, you mom, let's go get
Speaker 2: the back and get the back. You just start doing it. Well,
Speaker 2: all you gotta do is give him a crack a smile.
Speaker 2: Then you stop turn off. I got you. I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: I fucked that up. I'll do better. I am sorry.
Speaker 2: The House of the Dragon. Yeah, can we were?
Speaker 3: Yeah, dude, it does work.
Speaker 2: It does work. Yeah, And truthfully, like.
Speaker 1: As long as you keep your poise in the pocket,
Speaker 1: you have to because right there is a domino effect
Speaker 1: of now we're just both getting kind of pissed off
Speaker 1: at each other.
Speaker 3: Yes, because I can apologize profusely, which will then lead
Speaker 3: to Jill being like, well, this is the same old
Speaker 3: story that I've heard thirty million times. Yeah, of Sherman
Speaker 3: apologizing saying I'm going to do a better job.
Speaker 2: And if they hit you with the trigger, uh, the
Speaker 2: trigger word of always you always say you always say this,
Speaker 2: you always do that. It's always me doing it. That's
Speaker 2: my trigger. The always is my trigger work.
Speaker 3: Guess why I don't always spread to the vacuum closet,
Speaker 3: whip out the vacuum.
Speaker 2: It just start going.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'll switch it up for us. But truly,
Speaker 3: that's what Jill was when we were whisper arguing of
Speaker 3: like prioritizing things around the house so Jill doesn't have
Speaker 3: to prioritize him, so Jill has more time to do
Speaker 3: stuff that Jill likes to do instead.
Speaker 2: Of prep the house.
Speaker 3: And so I was like, I love audio books. I
Speaker 3: love walking in for that kind of stuff. I'm down
Speaker 3: there by myself anyways, and so I've been doing the
Speaker 3: audiobooks while I do the dishes, clean up scarlets, stuff,
Speaker 3: prep for all the day.

Speaker 3: standpoint of then it's like what else do I do?

Speaker 1: Like we fly to Chicago first, and it's from Chicago
Speaker 1: to Munich and then it's transportation for two and a
Speaker 1: half hours, so we're gonna be traveling a while. That'll
Speaker 1: be a grind. It is what it is. Those are
Speaker 1: the ones you're just gonna have to accept and embrace
Speaker 1: the suck. But being there, dude, it's going to be phenomenal.
Speaker 1: Each spot we're at has some childcare services with it. Oh,

Speaker 3: that y'all can sneak off and go do like anniversary
Speaker 3: style like things of dinners and no pressure of watching
Speaker 3: the kids.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because when it's just when it's just the fam, Yeah,
Speaker 1: when it's just you guys, your tribe on vacation, like,
Speaker 1: it's still chaotic.
Speaker 2: Yes, because you do. You're just you're juggling so many
Speaker 2: things and you have no help. Yeah, So there.
Speaker 1: Is a sucky part of going on vacation with the fam.
Speaker 1: Those moments that do make like the vacation itself and
Speaker 1: makes it all worth it. Yeah, but yeah, no one,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have some childcare. Is going to be a
Speaker 1: breath of fresh air.
Speaker 3: Dude, that's gonna be nice. Get to go be a couple. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's a good feeling. I know that that is probably
Speaker 3: built in with like our vacation to Florida. Like I'm
Speaker 3: sure that Papa Sherman and miss Amy are gonna, you know,
Speaker 3: not gonna to pay you guys, go do whatever one
Speaker 3: of the nights.
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to that, like, yeah, man, that's gonna
Speaker 2: be that's gonna be amazing.
Speaker 3: And just during the day too, I have another video
Speaker 3: I need to send a chef. Scarlett is ripping on
Speaker 3: her walker. Dude, those you know those stand up walkers. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: fast like like out of control, fast like doesn't have control.
Speaker 2: Yes, go and makes you a little nervous. Makes me
Speaker 2: really nervous.
Speaker 3: But she's staying vertical somehow, and I'm like, okay, like
Speaker 3: I'm a proud dad, but I'm also.
Speaker 2: Kind of filming.
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh shit, she bang it up against the wall. Yeah,
Speaker 3: turned around with one.
Speaker 2: Then you're questioning yourself for filming it.
Speaker 1: It's like the video I had of Scottie like walking
Speaker 1: or like taking a couple of steps, and remember she
Speaker 1: like toppled over and hit that on the floor and
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, yeah, you just hear crying before
Speaker 1: the video stops.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean truly, I'm starting to now know what
Speaker 3: that feels like, because because.
Speaker 1: There's no graceful way for the for like a one
Speaker 1: year old when they start walking, there's no graceful way
Speaker 1: for them to fall whatsoever at all. It's just from
Speaker 1: the top top down.
Speaker 3: Yes, and you hope it's on the butt. Yeah, Like
Speaker 3: I used to kind of be nervous when it was
Speaker 3: the butt. Now I pray for her to fall on
Speaker 3: her butt.
Speaker 1: But fall on her butt to where they're leaning forward, yes,
Speaker 1: because they hitting there like this, she's like, oh God,
Speaker 1: then the back of her head.
Speaker 3: And you you just explained the biggest wipeout to date.
Speaker 3: She's on the walker doing that uncontrollable speed thing where
Speaker 3: she truly just goes, I'm gonna go until I hit something.
Speaker 3: That's how I stop. And she hits the thing. She
Speaker 3: does this, falls on her butt and holds onto walker.
Speaker 3: Oh and flies back so head goes and I want
Speaker 3: to go back. Oh brother falls back and like that
Speaker 3: held onto walker. So Walker literally then goes goom on
Speaker 3: her face.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my god.
Speaker 3: Like before she even started crying, and I was like, oh,
Speaker 3: here we this is about to be the worst cry.
Speaker 2: Poor little thing, dude, she just starts losing.
Speaker 3: I put her right into mom's arms because she wants
Speaker 3: mom when it starts hurting, and it was actually very
Speaker 3: cute and sweet. I then laid there and was watching
Speaker 3: like Aladdin or some Disney yeah, and I was horizontal,
Speaker 3: laying on my back and I had her on my chest,
Speaker 3: sitting on her butt, and she had her passing in
Speaker 3: and she had tears coming down and she had stopped
Speaker 3: like the crying crying. Yeah, but she saw the tears
Speaker 3: go down and was going And I just kept on
Speaker 3: looking at Jill and going, we have to put her
Speaker 3: back on that walker in the next ten minutes. I
Speaker 3: don't want her scared of that thing. We gotta put
Speaker 3: her back on it. I don't want her scared. And
Speaker 3: we didn't even have to put her back on the walker.
Speaker 3: She wanted more. She was making noises reaching for it.
Speaker 2: I'm like, get back at gamer.
Speaker 3: We got a gamer put her back on the walker.
Speaker 3: Didn't it change the strategy up at all? As fast
Speaker 3: as I can go until I hit something. So I
Speaker 3: kind of liked the bravery that's been amayed by Scarlett.
Speaker 3: I can work with Bray. Yeah, I can work with
Speaker 3: Bray toughness, toughness.
Speaker 1: We got vacations coming up. Scar Scars turn in one.
Speaker 1: We opened the episode with the temper tantrums, the dumb
Speaker 1: shit kids get upset about I'm fully bought into Gobirt's
Speaker 1: fifty two to fifty nine. I feel like Rue gets
Speaker 1: upset about damn near everything everything. No, it's I want
Speaker 1: to do the seat belt, sweetheart. I'm just helping you, like,
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to get your arm. And then she's like,
Speaker 1: I wanted to do it. Well, the seat belt's kind
Speaker 1: of like sitting over. I wanted to do it. And
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh uh, do you do you want to
Speaker 1: finish it? You can still click all the buttons, and
Speaker 1: she's like, well, I wanted to do it, and then
Speaker 1: she starts like crying or getting sad, and I'm like, god,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 2: Let's take it all off. Let's get out of the car.
Speaker 2: Do you do it all, you do it all. I
Speaker 2: was just about to say that was going to be
Speaker 2: my solf.
Speaker 3: Get some impossible task and put reroot down and say
Speaker 3: reddo it.
Speaker 2: No, do it, you want to do it. You're big girl,
Speaker 2: you big girls.
Speaker 3: Just get her a big old axe in some wood
Speaker 3: and say hey, we're splitting wood and dad is going
Speaker 3: to do all of it. I'm splitting all this would
Speaker 3: you don't get to touch the axe at all? Real, No,
Speaker 3: but they want to do it. But then when she
Speaker 3: can't do it, get upset that she can't do it,
Speaker 3: and she doesn't ask Dad have.
Speaker 2: To do it.
Speaker 1: Then No, I'm just saying, like for all the parents
Speaker 1: that have the four year old that go birds here
Speaker 1: is talking about.
Speaker 2: There ain't no gold birds. There ain't no angle. Damn.
Speaker 2: Just like talking through it. You lose either way. Because
Speaker 2: we get to the point, like tron I get to,
Speaker 2: we're getting to the spots where we're just like, hey,
Speaker 2: we're not going to answer you if you're whining.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're not going to answer you. In your wine voice.
Speaker 1: You can use a strong voice, you can use confident voice.
Speaker 1: Whenever you calm down and can breathe and know this
Speaker 1: is Honestly, this is not a big fucking deal. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And when you touch it on the arm and talk
Speaker 1: to us, we'll listen to you. But while you're whining,
Speaker 1: you're not gonna hear from me. Yeah, because I'm sick
Speaker 1: of it, sick of dealing with it. Now that I
Speaker 1: think about it, I can't even hear it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I really can't even hear it when
Speaker 2: you start talking like that.
Speaker 3: I fully support that because Scarlett is starting to do
Speaker 3: that too with the separation anxiety. Whenever we put her down,
Speaker 3: dude and start doing stuff around the house, it's just instantly, oh.
Speaker 2: Of like come pick me up, like what are you doing?
Speaker 2: Then you ask parents, you start to question do we
Speaker 2: hold and do all this stuff way too much?
Speaker 3: And I've taken this staunch approach of I know she
Speaker 3: can't really understand me at eleven in some odd months,
Speaker 3: but I'm like, Scarlet, no, no, no whining, no whining.
Speaker 3: You cant play by yourself. You can play by yourself.
Speaker 3: And she'll start crawing to me like still crying. You'll
Speaker 3: walk away from her and I get a toy and
Speaker 3: I put it. Yes, I walk away. I get a
Speaker 3: toy and I give it to her. I go, you,
Speaker 3: you know how to play on your own?
Speaker 2: You got this?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you big girl, Go and resituate and put the
Speaker 1: toy in front of me. Yeah you can play, you
Speaker 1: big girl.
Speaker 2: You got it.
Speaker 3: Like I and Jill and I have been joking, I'm
Speaker 3: not putting Jill on blasts like Jill was on her
Speaker 3: mom Sherman's way better at that than me, because Jill's
Speaker 3: the one that wants to go pick her up and
Speaker 3: it's okay, yep, And I'm like, honey, you can't you know,
Speaker 3: every now and then, yeah, like if she's really really
Speaker 3: sad and we haven't been holding her, amen, go pick
Speaker 3: her up. But like if we've been holding her all
Speaker 3: day and we're just taking ten minutes to make dinner,
Speaker 3: I think she's gonna be okay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, is she How close is she to walking? She's
Speaker 2: getting close. From the standpoint of on the walker, it
Speaker 2: was like we're kind of figuring it out. We're figuring
Speaker 2: it out now.
Speaker 3: It's like who down hallways, like going long ranges with that,
Speaker 3: and then she's independently standing up now of like independent
Speaker 3: of furniture. But once she gets up, she has no
Speaker 3: idea what to do she just instantly pops down.
Speaker 1: You you have, I think, right, like maybe I got
Speaker 1: this from you. You have the little seat that sits
Speaker 1: on the island.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, to where.
Speaker 1: It's like when you're making dinner doing stuff around the kitchen,
Speaker 1: you have them propped up to where they're they're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you can keep themselves busy. Yeah, because then you'll get
Speaker 1: to where you can get them their little side stool
Speaker 1: or whatever where they can kind of stand at the
Speaker 1: island with you. But you're probably you're probably a couple
Speaker 1: of months from that because you want them to because
Speaker 1: it's like there's also the one that we have is
Speaker 1: there's like an opening in the back so if she
Speaker 1: wasn't you know, you didn't trust her enough, she.
Speaker 2: Could like fall and go out the backside. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 2: because you can like take this uh was it there? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Their stool, I forget exactly the name of it, but
Speaker 1: you can fold it into a table too, so if
Speaker 1: they sit down at the little table or you can
Speaker 1: prop it up.
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, I have seen that in y'all's kitchen before. Yeah, yeah, to.
Speaker 1: Where you'll just sit them there and they're like in
Speaker 1: the they're like doing stuff, whether you give them something
Speaker 1: to do, yes, or a little snack whatever to keep
Speaker 1: them occupied. Yeah, but once you get strong enough to do,
Speaker 1: you'll be able to get one of those.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Because she's at the point where she can, I can
Speaker 3: confidently put her down in the living room and know
Speaker 3: that she's not gonna hurt herself from falling.
Speaker 2: She's gonna crawl to a piece of furniture.
Speaker 3: She's going to prop herself up on it and stand
Speaker 3: turned her body out with like one hand on the furniture.
Speaker 2: Yeah, to like wave hide did dad? Dad? Of course?
Speaker 2: Of course?
Speaker 3: Watch blue We love Bluie And what a bozo move
Speaker 3: I did week three on this show. I don't like
Speaker 3: the show Bluey, and you can run the clip. I'm
Speaker 3: such an idiot, dude. Bluey is one of the best
Speaker 3: shows of all time.
Speaker 2: Dad, Brain, I don't even remember you saying that.
Speaker 3: It's like one of our initial quote graphics that did numbies,
Speaker 3: because everybody was in the comments like this Sherman guy's
Speaker 3: an idiot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's an idiot remark. It was an idiot remark.
Speaker 2: Blue's a great show, one of the better ones.
Speaker 3: Out there, one of like a top three, and we've
Speaker 3: been ripping bluey. But she's at a point where I
Speaker 3: can calmly, she can operate in the living room. But
Speaker 3: the solo walking, we're I mean, we're probably you know,
Speaker 3: what would it be like three months away from that,
Speaker 3: two months away from that of unless she keeps on
Speaker 3: my diving headfirst into it. The people at the daycare
Speaker 3: are like, she is so confidently like moving around without
Speaker 3: us that we're honestly wanting to kind of move her
Speaker 3: up into the older class. We just have to get
Speaker 3: her on whole milk in off of formula in order
Speaker 3: to do that, because she's still two naps a day
Speaker 3: and formula. And they said she needs to be fully
Speaker 3: whole milk, no bottles, and one nap a day before
Speaker 3: we move her up. And so that's Jilla and I's.
Speaker 2: Like new project challenge.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you start, when you start introducing whole milk,
Speaker 1: you'll mix it with some of the formula, Yes.
Speaker 2: Sir, start going a little bit at a time, yep.
Speaker 2: And that's exactly what we're doing right now. Six ounces
Speaker 2: of formula, one ounce.
Speaker 3: Of whole mil Yeah, and she doesn't she's none the wiser.
Speaker 2: She's deleting her bottles. Yeah, she'll love that whole milk. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we'll get We'll get her onto it. I did. I
Speaker 2: had a follow up that I did want to read.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's see some comments, because there were some comments
Speaker 3: from our episode with the dads that we didn't follow

Speaker 1: Willy sees donut. Now this lock in and I got
Speaker 1: another one here.
Speaker 2: A matter of fact, we got a double from gobirds
Speaker 2: five two five nine on Spotify.
Speaker 1: Another one from gobirds he's been beat you twice now
Speaker 1: on this one. That's gotta be your grandparents who struggle
Speaker 1: with watching grandkids blow my mind, Like, bro, you did
Speaker 1: this ship for eighteen years.
Speaker 2: How am I better at it than you? And I
Speaker 2: could not, like agree moor to Willie's burner. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I looked at my mom when Scarlett first came home
Speaker 3: from the hospitality were maried. They stuck around for a
Speaker 3: little bit and she asked me one of those types
Speaker 3: of questions that I legitimately looked at her, and all
Speaker 3: I wanted to say in that moment is shouldn't you
Speaker 3: be telling me?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I just met
Speaker 2: this thing two weeks ago. Yeah, and now it's been decades. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so you can be forgetful, but there's it's like you
Speaker 2: can't even find the instinct in them. Yeah for the
Speaker 2: kind of the right answer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the only thing that I have that I try
Speaker 1: and come to grips with perspective wise, Yeah, what's going on.
Speaker 2: It's just that the era of fatherhood was different back
Speaker 2: in the day. It was like I can tell it
Speaker 2: was I can tell my dad never changed my diaper.
Speaker 2: I can tell my dad never really did a whole
Speaker 2: lot of the baby stuff. Yeah, toddler stuff.
Speaker 5: You can't convince me Johnny and Nitis could teach Patrick
Speaker 5: Mahomes a thing about football. But we know Johnny Unitis
Speaker 5: was good at football. And that's kind of where my
Speaker 5: head's at with our dads. Yeah, the great And that's
Speaker 5: a really good one. That's because, like I know, if
Speaker 5: my mom was here, she would crush it.
Speaker 1: I think so, Like I believe I've seen her around
Speaker 1: even other kids as I've gotten older, Like she would
Speaker 1: crush it.
Speaker 2: And I can just tell she was like the mom
Speaker 2: and the dad. Yeah, dad just worked. It's like putting
Speaker 2: putting put food on the table, but it was just
Speaker 2: a pudding food. It's we're in a different era.
Speaker 1: Matter of fact, I'm gonna try and find this, but
Speaker 1: how much involved dads now are in this generation is
Speaker 1: massive percentage more a big margin more than dad's were
Speaker 1: back in the old era.
Speaker 3: Well, and a lot of a lot more women working
Speaker 3: as well, full time, which I feel like has a
Speaker 3: lot to do with it. Like your marriage, you and
Speaker 3: Charro both working, Yes, my marriage both working full time.
Speaker 3: Your fiance and yourself both working full time. You and
Speaker 3: your girlfriend both working full time like it's it's a
Speaker 3: different world.
Speaker 2: Roll through the mold got a job and said you're
Speaker 2: gonna do this with me? Yeah? Yeah, somebody said, somebody
Speaker 2: put their hands up.
Speaker 1: This, somebody let them work. Just joking, it's a bt bit.
Speaker 1: That's a bt bit, that's a that's just dad's in
Speaker 1: the garage. Milk knowing we fall short and just saying
Speaker 1: easy low hanging through Joe hanging for that was immature.
Speaker 3: Milk Teams, we love you, and mill Team six we
Speaker 3: love the paychecks too.
Speaker 6: I will.
Speaker 3: I'll raise my hand and say it. Love double salaries,
Speaker 3: Love double salaries. Yeah, duel income with kids. We were
Speaker 3: duel income with no kids, ink a dink, But now
Speaker 3: duel income with kids.
Speaker 2: That's crazy. There was something else I was going to say, though.
Speaker 1: You want to say something about my dad. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: read this comment. I want to say somebody your dad.
Speaker 2: I was going to say something about your dad.
Speaker 3: I don't remember specifically, so I will just say an
Speaker 3: overarching thing. It's always good to see Billy C. And
Speaker 3: I got to talk to Billy C.
Speaker 2: Way more.
Speaker 3: This time around, and it sounds like from the conversation
Speaker 3: I have with them, your dad listens to the show
Speaker 3: pretty religiously.
Speaker 2: My dad list consumes all of my content.
Speaker 3: Okay, that makes a ton of sense, because it felt
Speaker 3: like he knew me more than the last because he
Speaker 3: didn't know me the last time I met him, and
Speaker 3: he was talking to me very comfortably because he's a
Speaker 3: man of few words. But the way that he was
Speaker 3: speaking with me, I was like, yo, Billy, c is
Speaker 3: like having a full on combo with me and opening.
Speaker 3: It was just very fun to get to like know
Speaker 3: your dad way more. He rips dude, he's the man, bro,
Speaker 3: He's the man. The Duke of bon Terre, the Duke.
Speaker 1: I found what I was thinking about because somebody, this
Speaker 1: gentleman named Brad Wilcox on x OH treated the alert emoji.
Speaker 1: Married dad's engagement on the home front has tripled. Married
Speaker 1: dads of young children in nineteen sixty five did, on
Speaker 1: average less than ten hours a week of any kind
Speaker 1: of childcare or help around the house. Dad's in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four contributed to nearly thirty hours a week.
Speaker 2: Oh my, so dad's out there.
Speaker 1: Keep going. You're doing a good job. You're doing a
Speaker 1: good job. I know, we beat ourselves up. Still a lot,
Speaker 1: which is at times probably justified. But just know you're
Speaker 1: doing a hell of a job and keep fucking going.
Speaker 3: I remember the other thing that I was going to say.
Speaker 3: You were talking about grandparents. Opah, what are you doing?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Even Lisa, who I would say, of the grandparents that
Speaker 3: we have, Jill's mom, Jill single parent home, Lisa had
Speaker 3: to do it all.
Speaker 2: She's a rock star.
Speaker 3: But even Lisa will look at me sometimes and asking
Speaker 3: a question like am I supposed to do this? And
Speaker 3: she's not quizzing me, she's not trying to like catch
Speaker 3: me in something. She's genuinely asking And even I'm like,
Speaker 3: I don't know the answer to that. So I feel
Speaker 3: less bad about knowing the answer sometimes because I'm like,
Speaker 3: even Lisa doesn't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm good. Yeah, imagine their parents are grandparents parents.
Speaker 3: Dude, listening to like the childhood that my dad had
Speaker 3: of he had two sisters and two brothers, and they
Speaker 3: literally was just like go rip, have fun, you go outside,
Speaker 3: see how.
Speaker 2: See it for two days? Yeah? Oh you're at Bobby's
Speaker 2: house spending the night. Great. Sounds good.

Speaker 1: the flap and it's a bear. No, turn the page.

Speaker 1: whole thing up. Now when she opens the flaps, because
Speaker 1: again this is a very short story. It's like, it's
Speaker 1: just where spot. You turn the page, and the only
Speaker 1: thing in the book is do you just open up
Speaker 1: open up a flat? And when you open the flap.
Speaker 1: It's just an animal and all it says is no,
Speaker 1: there's no other words.
Speaker 2: It's probably a good sign that you're bored with your
Speaker 2: child's book. It's probably a good sign. But she always
Speaker 2: picks it.
Speaker 1: Like she never wants to with me. Charle's like, oh
Speaker 1: she never does. Where it's she's always one spot with me.
Speaker 3: You gotta get in there and you gotta put you

Speaker 1: my brand new dad to be with our little ones.
Speaker 1: Expected arrival in February twenty twenty seven. Come on at
Speaker 1: forty years old with my wife at thirty nine. We're
Speaker 1: starting this adventure a little later than some, but we're
Speaker 1: incredibly grateful and excited to finally be here. That fires
Speaker 1: me up. So a lot of women that get very
Speaker 1: get anxious when that thirty six year old mark kits Yeah,
Speaker 1: because risk and everything else goes up.
Speaker 2: Oh for sure.
Speaker 1: But I love this, and to be honest, I'm feeling
Speaker 1: just about every emotion possible right now. Excited, nervous, hopeful, overwhelmed,
Speaker 1: you name it. It feels like I've officially entered the
Speaker 1: trenches of soon to be fatherhood, and I'm trying to
Speaker 1: prepare as best as i can. Great head Start February
Speaker 1: twenty seven, Like you're you have the right urgency right now?
Speaker 2: Yes, you're good.
Speaker 1: I've already started scouting local dad groups around LA because
Speaker 1: I know I'm going to need the wisdom of veterans
Speaker 1: who have survived diaper blowout, sleep deprivation, and toddler negotiations.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I've also been working out more partly for my health,
Speaker 1: but mostly because I figure fatherhood is going to involve
Speaker 1: a lot of bending, lifting, carrying, and chasing tiny little
Speaker 1: humans at full speed yep, one.
Speaker 2: Hundred percent on that.
Speaker 1: I like to think I'm a new recruit hoping to
Speaker 1: earn a spot in Papa Teams. In the Papa Team
Speaker 1: six squadron, training has begun, morales high, and readiness is
Speaker 1: somewhere between fully prepared and absolutely no idea what I'm doing.
Speaker 2: You're in the right pocket. Yeah, you're part of the
Speaker 2: right squadron. That's me.
Speaker 1: Come on, Chef, I'd love to hear anybody you have
Speaker 1: for the first time Dad, who are a few months
Speaker 1: into the journey and trying to get their minds and
Speaker 1: backs ready for what's ahead.
Speaker 2: Thanks for all you do.
Speaker 1: Your conversations have already helped me feel more prepared and
Speaker 1: a little less alone as I step into this next chapter. Cheers,
Speaker 1: says future Papa Team six recruit recruit. This is a
Speaker 1: fellow Papa Team six recruit, Oscar Canela.
Speaker 2: Dude.
Speaker 3: Oscar is very locked in and already on the right track.
Speaker 3: The only advice that I was going to give, which
Speaker 3: he said, it best, that Dad's group.
Speaker 2: I feel like doing this show with you.
Speaker 3: Kind of filled the gap for me finding a Dad group,
Speaker 3: Like I didn't really need it because I got to
Speaker 3: do this show with you, and it made it very
Speaker 3: tangible and realistic to just hear you talk about.
Speaker 2: The right ends of people giving his ri and wins.
Speaker 3: And losses, and even even seeing Taylor and Jeremy in
Speaker 3: the office and talking with them, hearing them talk about
Speaker 3: like getting around other dads, dude, is just such a
Speaker 3: pro move. It's like, if you wanted to be a
Speaker 3: good golfer, you'd probably hang out with other golfers. If
Speaker 3: you wanted to be good at writing, you probably go
Speaker 3: to writer convenient. You know what I'm saying. Just oh, yeah,
Speaker 3: that would be my advice. Yeah, it seems like he's
Speaker 3: on it. He's urgent, he's preparing. Just prepare to fail.
Speaker 1: Also that that's the biggest thing is don't go sideways
Speaker 1: when things don't go to planna. You're gonna learn throughout
Speaker 1: the entire process, you're gonna fail through it all.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: Yes, the best thing, like for me, what I did
Speaker 1: when I was preparing for Rue to come was, and
Speaker 1: I've said it in several episodes, but I wanted to
Speaker 1: be on top of what sleep training was and involved
Speaker 1: like twelve hours by twelve weeks. I've read strong Fathers,
Speaker 1: Strong daughters because I was having a girl.
Speaker 2: I read at wall Rue was here.
Speaker 1: Yep, those things help me, like figuring out no, that
Speaker 1: like my dumb brain before I had my wife and
Speaker 1: obviously before we got pregnant, was a Mary a wife
Speaker 1: and she'll do everything like, she'll do all the stuff
Speaker 1: at home, she'll do all the stuff, help and raise
Speaker 1: the kids. Like I'll just hope it's a boy, and
Speaker 1: I'll want him to be a football player when he
Speaker 1: grows up. I'll want him to be like dad. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then because of how much my mom did for us,
Speaker 1: did for me, I'm just like, you marry somebody.
Speaker 2: They'll handle it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they'll tell me what to do. Then you learn,
Speaker 1: as we all know, in marriage, it doesn't work like that.
Speaker 1: That expectation is insane and you work together. And so
Speaker 1: figuring out that how much the women's stress when they're
Speaker 1: pregnant and losing identity and going from whoever they were
Speaker 1: to now going into the identity of mom and losing
Speaker 1: themselves a little bit and seeing the hormone adaptations that
Speaker 1: take place, the mental shift that they have, the things
Speaker 1: that they have to be on top of, well, it
Speaker 1: puts a lot of stress on them. For me, it
Speaker 1: was obviously conversations with my wife by figuring out like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I need to do I need to prepare. I need
Speaker 1: to figure out lanes of preparing on my own. So
Speaker 1: it's not me just be like, Hey, what what do
Speaker 1: you need me to do? What do you want me
Speaker 1: to do? What book should I read? Like you can
Speaker 1: ask simple things like that, but I can tell you this,
Speaker 1: your partner wants you to be intentional and think for yourself,
Speaker 1: and it's just not them doing all the thinking. And
Speaker 1: so my lane felt more of like, how do I
Speaker 1: prepare for when the baby's here? The sleep training, because
Speaker 1: obviously nobody gets a lot of sleep on the babies here.
Speaker 1: How you can be how I can be supportive because
Speaker 1: they're gonna wake They're gonna be waking up a lot
Speaker 1: more in the middle of the night than I am,
Speaker 1: or I'm hopeful anyway, there's some situations where you wake
Speaker 1: up with your partner while they feed or plump, whatever
Speaker 1: the case may be. But just I prepare that. I
Speaker 1: don't know if I gave you a whole lot there
Speaker 1: you did, But those are the things I thought about
Speaker 1: as I was developing my own sense of self into Fatherhood.
Speaker 3: A creator in the dad space, Trey Kennedy hopefully future
Speaker 3: friend of the show. Tray Kennedy has a great character
Speaker 3: that he does of a terrible father. Yeah, and my
Speaker 3: favorite pit that he does is, honey, I'm here awaiting
Speaker 3: your instructions.
Speaker 2: I won't be doing anything until told otherwise. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is every woman's worst nightmare. Yes, you haven't
Speaker 3: told me to do anything, so I'm just waiting. I
Speaker 3: won't do anything until you tell me what to do.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: If you're doing stuff proactively, that dude. And that's not
Speaker 3: even just with kids, that's just around the house. That's
Speaker 3: like you want to get some bonus points with your
Speaker 3: wife and your marriage. Not even talking about being a
Speaker 3: good dad, dude. Oh my god. We just talked about
Speaker 3: it at the beginning of the show where I was
Speaker 3: doing the dishes and have the headphones off.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just keep the eyes and ears open here because again,
Speaker 1: there's nothing that you're going to be able to I mean,
Speaker 1: there are things you're gonna be able to prepare for
Speaker 1: before the baby comes, but just prepare to fail and
Speaker 1: just be aware because you're gonna be in your own situation.
Speaker 1: Like me, I was still trying to play football. We
Speaker 1: had busts with the boys going. But knowing how much
Speaker 1: work goes into the kid, goes into the newborn. When
Speaker 1: they get here, you realize how much your wife has
Speaker 1: to kind of sacrifice and do for all of it
Speaker 1: to function.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the mental you touched on it with your
Speaker 3: initial answer to you, the mental weight really anything to
Speaker 3: soften that mental weight as the do date comes closer,
Speaker 3: and because how many weeks pregnantity I forget from his.
Speaker 1: The baby is due February twenty seven. Okay, so he's
Speaker 1: got plenty.
Speaker 2: Of he's just seeing prep right now. He is so
Speaker 2: locked years.
Speaker 3: Keep that years ahead, keep that same energy, h Oscar,
Speaker 3: and just keep on lessening that mental load on your wife.
Speaker 3: And dude, everyone wins.
Speaker 1: And you're saying it right now, it's less about the
Speaker 1: newborn and more about the partnership, yes, more about the
Speaker 1: teammate aspect with your wife, Yes, Because.
Speaker 3: When y'all are a good team and are fully operating
Speaker 3: and know that you have each other's backs, that's when
Speaker 3: the fireworks and the fund happen with the kiddo.
Speaker 2: That's when the mental load is off and.
Speaker 3: Now we're both explore operating Yes, we're operating, and we're
Speaker 3: having fun with our girl and we're able to play
Speaker 3: with her at dinner and make funny faces at her
Speaker 3: and feed her because dad's got clean up and mom's
Speaker 3: got bedtime duty.
Speaker 2: After this, we're good. We got it. Like it, everything
Speaker 2: starts working, Everything starts working.
Speaker 1: It's fun to watch you, man, because I just remember
Speaker 1: when you were not even having Scarlet yet, the conversations
Speaker 1: we would have, and even when Scarlett was here, the conversation,
Speaker 1: how they've developed over the last year. Your confidence, your
Speaker 1: comfort in talking about these things. Now that you have
Speaker 1: a year of experience, well, a year of messing up
Speaker 1: exactly like you said, truly like it.
Speaker 3: You will learn so much from just fucking up. It's
Speaker 3: the best way to learn as a dad.
Speaker 1: And as long as you care and your intentional, like,
Speaker 1: you're gonna figure it out.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And if you care and your intentional, you're still gonna
Speaker 3: fuck up, like you are. Not just saying that to
Speaker 3: make people feel good. Yeah, No, not at all. This
Speaker 3: is something that will never ever go to plan ever,
Speaker 3: just being a dad.

Speaker 3: community read.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's from Brian Friedman.
Speaker 1: The email email is six so when the dad's at
Speaker 1: gmail dot com APT six. I wanted to give a
Speaker 1: first Father's Day shout out to my husband Jordan. He
Speaker 1: wrote in to you guys for an MT six shout
Speaker 1: out for myself, Brie for giving birth on March nineteenth
Speaker 1: to our eight pounds seven ounce son. Oh when you
Speaker 1: officially had joined the PT six gang. That was read
Speaker 1: on your March twenty fifth episode, and I think it
Speaker 1: would be so amazing for the follow up shout out.
Speaker 1: I've included a picture of Jordan walking our son out
Speaker 1: of the hospital, rocking his and.
Speaker 2: Here's the shout out. He deserves.
Speaker 1: Come on, I want to give you, Hugh shout out
Speaker 1: to my husband Jordan for his first Father's Day. Just
Speaker 1: as we preface that in the first paragraph, that's not
Speaker 1: a I shouldn't even said that brand Our sweet boys
Speaker 1: only a few months old, but he's already won the
Speaker 1: dad Lottery and I couldn't be more grateful to be
Speaker 1: raising him alongside such an incredible man.
Speaker 2: He is the backbone of.
Speaker 1: Our family and watching him love, care for, and show
Speaker 1: up for our son and myself every single day has
Speaker 1: made embracing the suck so much easier. Thank you for
Speaker 1: an amazing podcast that has given Jordan the confidence to
Speaker 1: become the best first time father that I knew he
Speaker 1: would be.
Speaker 2: He deserves all the praise.
Speaker 1: In a shout out from the boys, love you, guys,
Speaker 1: empty six Bree Jordan's Let's.
Speaker 3: Go, Jordan, thank you for rocking our stuff. Leaving the
Speaker 3: hustle Deek will Will was laughing, saying he shouldn't have
Speaker 3: read the top part of the email out loud, but
Speaker 3: I'm glad he did.
Speaker 2: I'm yeah. I was trying, no, no, no, no, you were breaking.
Speaker 1: I'm down that I read the first part of the
Speaker 1: email I'm saying, Look, I'm saying she structured it already
Speaker 1: saying I wanted to give a first Father's Day shout
Speaker 1: out to my husband Jordan. Yeah, so she doesn't need
Speaker 1: to put that in her next shout out. This says
Speaker 1: I want to give a huge shout out to my
Speaker 1: husband Jordan for his first Father's Day. Yes, because I'm
Speaker 1: already this is already the shout out for the Father's
Speaker 1: Day shout.
Speaker 2: You already said that. It's a shout now Father's Day.
Speaker 5: What I don't like is that this episode coming before Greg,
Speaker 5: where Greg, I think, has taught you a few things
Speaker 5: now about getting back and reading grammar and cards, and
Speaker 5: that's a teaser.
Speaker 2: For the Greg. It seems like you're in that headspace now. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but I didn't mess nothing up you. I wrote bo
Speaker 2: was on the card.
Speaker 3: And everyone is in full agreement, like if I was
Speaker 3: friends with Brien.
Speaker 1: She's like, hey, Willie, see can you check this over
Speaker 1: before I said it in the six and one the
Speaker 1: dad's at gmail dot com. Yeah, so yeah, let me
Speaker 1: take a look at Brie. This is this is honestly amazing.
Speaker 1: The only thing I would correct is you don't have
Speaker 1: to see I want to give a huge shout out
Speaker 1: to my husband Jordan for his first Father's Day, because
Speaker 1: you already said that in the first paragraph, So just
Speaker 1: delete that part and just go in, just go into
Speaker 1: the shout out or a little boy only a few
Speaker 1: months old.
Speaker 2: And if I delete that part, then it's good to go.
Speaker 1: I can send him Yeah, yeah, yeah, because will if
Speaker 1: you watch, he reads everything that's on the card.
Speaker 2: Oh don't you don't want to repeat himself? That is right.
Speaker 2: Let me change that. Yeh, I'll get that change.
Speaker 1: And for all the haters out there, Greg the one
Speaker 1: you here, listen to next week with Greg, it was
Speaker 1: it was a moment of relief.
Speaker 2: We put one card in that man's hands, one and
Speaker 2: he tore it apart. He tore it apart.
Speaker 3: Imagine if we had had of do like eight by
Speaker 3: the end of it, he would have been like, why
Speaker 3: why do y'all do this?
Speaker 2: Why do you do it? Because for the love of
Speaker 2: the game, man, the love of the game. I have
Speaker 2: a PT six community.
Speaker 3: Uh note this came from this is a really cool name,
Speaker 3: Riker McClaskey.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 3: Riiker McClaskey wrote in PT sikos lifelong listener here one
Speaker 3: full year and proud father of my daughter, thirteen month
Speaker 3: old Scottie aka another Scott Sille.
Speaker 2: Let's go.
Speaker 3: Come on, Riker, Thank you boys for all that you do.
Speaker 3: I've enjoyed episodes at two am while rocking my daughter
Speaker 3: back to sleep in the trenches and on PT fit
Speaker 3: runs where I'm mostly just trying not to die. Thanks
Speaker 3: for keeping this fatherhood journey fun. Today's topic trash etiquette.
Speaker 3: Nice you see what Riker has to stave in as
Speaker 3: a dad. I am drowning in trash, Amazon boxes, white
Speaker 3: diaper boxes, everything in between, and never ends. My cans
Speaker 3: are full midway through the week every week, so I
Speaker 3: need the PT ruling. Is it acceptable to throw your
Speaker 3: overflow of draft into a neighbor's can when theirs isn't full.
Speaker 3: I'll go ahead and tell you I'm already doing it, Riker,
Speaker 3: every Wednesday night under the cover of darkness. I'm making
Speaker 3: the rounds, Riker, I'm making the rounds. I'll let you
Speaker 3: weigh in, but I am PTT Poppa team trash.
Speaker 2: So here's the question.
Speaker 3: If your cans are full, is it fair game to
Speaker 3: buy extra trash in your neighbor's cans?
Speaker 2: Don't get caught.
Speaker 1: I think I think it's ruling upheld. I see where
Speaker 1: his head's at.
Speaker 2: I think I've done it like a couple times in
Speaker 2: my life, not anytime recently, but I've like taken trash
Speaker 2: and put it in.
Speaker 3: Lean it's on. This would be my I take on it.
Speaker 3: If mine are full and they're overflowing and they look ugly,
Speaker 3: and it's first thing in the morning, and my neighbors
Speaker 3: have already wheeled theirs to the curb and mine are
Speaker 3: doing this game where the lid's like up like this
Speaker 3: because I have so much trash. Yeah, I would then
Speaker 3: check their cans. Oh, they got some room in there.
Speaker 3: I'll put some of mine in there so then mine
Speaker 3: don't look crazy ugly. Yeah, I'm cool with that. But
Speaker 3: I think he's talking about midweek being like, go put
Speaker 3: this over and uh, I'll go put it in there can.
Speaker 3: Is that what he's saying.
Speaker 2: We ain't gonna tell on him. I would never. We
Speaker 2: ain't gonna tell on them. Have you done? Have you done?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: No, No, I haven't done anything like I can't. The
Speaker 1: biggest one where I'm laughing at the feeling that you
Speaker 1: know he has, he feels going alive because when we
Speaker 1: were oh yeah, like when we were going back to
Speaker 1: when it was the snowstorm and we were going, you know,
Speaker 1: dumpsters taking our trash do on them and on dump.
Speaker 2: Oh yet, don't let me judge. I hope nobody thinks about.
Speaker 1: I'm saying the feeling you have when you get out
Speaker 1: throwing in the dumpster, where you're like, man, is there
Speaker 1: somebody in a window somewhere seeing me right now?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yea, And they got their phone in their hand,
Speaker 2: like I'm gonna get this. They call the cup. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna call the cops on them.
Speaker 1: But knowing he's like sneaking over kind of like looking around,
Speaker 1: check in, being like and then having to make the
Speaker 1: decision I'm good to do this throwing in there.
Speaker 2: I need.
Speaker 3: I need a selfie from Riker while he's doing the
Speaker 3: trash run, is what I need? Or a video? Yeah,
Speaker 3: I might need a selfie video of.
Speaker 1: Right he's pulling a you just did the Neutral, the
Speaker 1: Neutral commercial for Busting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's want to go, go, go, go, go, go go.
Speaker 3: He sneaking around Ryker when you sit in the video,
Speaker 3: wear a ski mask, whatever you need to do to
Speaker 3: keep yourself anonymous. But would love a selfie video of
Speaker 3: Riker showing us how it's done, and Riker what you
Speaker 3: can probably do if you think they're.
Speaker 2: Not onto you, you know you do this us. Get
Speaker 2: him a gift. Yeah, set it on their porch, neighbor,
Speaker 2: and maybe a written card. Maybe you allude to you
Speaker 2: putting some trash in their their bits. I don't know
Speaker 2: what his relationship is with it with the neighbors.
Speaker 3: Sneak it in there, so you gotta get it off
Speaker 3: your conscient Yeah, yeah, exactly. If I ever felt like
Speaker 3: my trash was overflowing and I could put it in
Speaker 3: your cants, like I would feel comfortable enough to do that.
Speaker 2: That's how much I love you guys.
Speaker 5: Do you know what we're doing? East genuinely? Uh, My
Speaker 5: neighbor's really cool. I have two recycles, he has one.
Speaker 5: We each have one trash can, so he'll put stuff
Speaker 5: in mine. I put stuff in his. If I put
Speaker 5: stuff in his, I bring his bins back because they're
Speaker 5: next to each other. So I have trash that's extra
Speaker 5: and I see it.
Speaker 2: There we go.
Speaker 5: He looked at me when he goes say thanks for
Speaker 5: bringing the bins back. I was like, yeah, I filled
Speaker 5: yours up, so like got it and he's done it
Speaker 5: for me too, So that's our Like, if we put
Speaker 5: stuff in yours, I'll bring your bins back for it.
Speaker 1: It sounds like Ryker just needs to get some rapport
Speaker 1: going with his neighbors.
Speaker 3: Yeah, sitting on the guilt or find a neighbor that
Speaker 3: just sucks you hold them up, mold of up.
Speaker 2: Maybe that's the spotty's in I either either way, I'm
Speaker 2: pro Riker, I'm team Riker. Yeah, of course we're pro
Speaker 2: Dad's man. We're figuring it out. I have some voicemails here.
Speaker 2: Do you want to do a voicemails to a voicemail?
Speaker 3: This one is called grandparent Teams six on one, the
Speaker 3: Dad's call in, leave a voicemail. And if you don't
Speaker 3: want to call in and leave a voicemail, you said

Speaker 8: I am almost getting caught up working on it turned
Speaker 8: onto the podcast from my boys. They are twenty nine
Speaker 8: and currently twenty seven, and I just wanted.
Speaker 2: To call in.
Speaker 8: You know, pizza Fridays growing up definitely was a thing
Speaker 8: for our family, and I just want to say that
Speaker 8: doing that with my boys being twenty nine, twenty seven,
Speaker 8: My oldest is part of PT six for thirteen months now.
Speaker 8: My other son is actually going to be part of
Speaker 8: PT six in less than four weeks. Super stoked about that,
Speaker 8: but calling in to say that we get together every
Speaker 8: Wednesday for family dinner. We rotate between the houses our
Speaker 8: house the boys' houses, and we get together once a week,
Speaker 8: touch base with the family and definitely creating that dinner
Speaker 8: time conversation being around the table, growing up, watching our
Speaker 8: kids grow up, and us having grandkids now, so we
Speaker 8: need a part of PT six or grandparents because Rock
Speaker 8: in this lolly position as grandma is absolutely amazing, great
Speaker 8: and best job I've ever had in the entire world. However,
Speaker 8: I just wanted to say that creating that family time,
Speaker 8: creating that bond. We have been doing this now since
Speaker 8: the boys came back from college, that we get together
Speaker 8: every Wednesday night for dinner, regardless of our schedules. We
Speaker 8: plan around family dinner, and we are very intentional with
Speaker 8: our time, and I think it's created a bond that
Speaker 8: we have that a lot of other families don't. So
Speaker 8: it's worth creating that intentional time with your family as
Speaker 8: soon as you can, because every minute counts. And now
Speaker 8: those grand babies are going to be understanding that, Yep,
Speaker 8: Wednesday nights, we all get together regardless of what else
Speaker 8: is going on in our lives because we love each other,
Speaker 8: support each other, and will always be the anchors for everyone.

Speaker 1: to be coming into that routine. They're just gonna know like,

Speaker 3: pronunciation of your last name. This comes from Alexis Wquez.
Speaker 3: Good morning boys. My name is Alexis. I am so sorry.
Speaker 3: Let me start again. The s as silent in her name.
Speaker 3: So my name is Alexi and I joined Papa Team
Speaker 3: six three months ago thanks to my incredible wife. I'm
Speaker 3: gonna it's a guy. I'm gonna start completely over and
Speaker 3: apologize for everything.
Speaker 5: I assume it is a gentlem I should say, but
Speaker 5: the name is Alexi, as in the guy from Stranger Things.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Alexi, Okay, I am locked in now, lock in,
Speaker 3: I am locked in now. This comes from Alexi. What
Speaker 3: guess Alexi says? My name is Alexi and I joined
Speaker 3: Papa Team six three months ago.
Speaker 2: Thanks to my incredible wife.
Speaker 3: She went through forty hours of labor and pushed for
Speaker 3: four hours just to have the obi's cut her stomach
Speaker 3: and simultaneously push and pull our little guy out of
Speaker 3: the birth canal. She went through hell like a true
Speaker 3: empty Siko so we could welcome our little Sebastian into
Speaker 3: our beautiful family. Originally from Belgium, I moved to Indiana
Speaker 3: six years ago. All of my family still lives abroad,
Speaker 3: so we were so excited to have my parents visit
Speaker 3: for five days at the end of April to meet
Speaker 3: their second grandchild. Yes, my older brother beat us by
Speaker 3: welcoming their adorable baby girl a month before us, in
Speaker 3: true firstborn fashion. We were very much in the trenches
Speaker 3: during my parents' visit, but managed to have a great time.
Speaker 2: With them. They were able to give.
Speaker 3: Us downtimes where we could focus on ourselves and our
Speaker 3: little guy. Even spent nights at the Airbnb nearby to
Speaker 3: lighten our load in babysats so we could have our
Speaker 3: first date away from the kid to celebrate our thirteenth
Speaker 3: year anniversary of getting together. We spent quality time with them,
Speaker 3: relaxing in the yard, eating lunch and dinner with them,
Speaker 3: enjoying neighborhood walks and whatnot. Such a great visit. However,
Speaker 3: while they were there, I started noticing that my dad
Speaker 3: wasn't all himself. He seemed very tired, dozing off on
Speaker 3: the couch pretty often throughout the day. I thought he
Speaker 3: was jetlagged and getting to the jet lag I've been
Speaker 3: getting to him. Plus his upcoming retirement at the end
Speaker 3: of May was certainly weighing on his mind.
Speaker 2: He would also use some.
Speaker 3: Weird, out of place words every now and then while conversing,
Speaker 3: think using the word clock instead of saying kitchen.
Speaker 2: It got significantly worse than just a couple days.
Speaker 3: I dropped them off at the airport with the knot
Speaker 3: in my stomach, hopeful that it wasn't anything too serious.
Speaker 3: They landed back home and headed straight to the er
Speaker 3: to get a CT scan, and there it was a
Speaker 3: very large mass in his brain, roughly the size of
Speaker 3: a ping pong ball, with a massive.
Speaker 2: Edema. A massive edema, I believe all around it.
Speaker 3: My parents called me early in the morning to let
Speaker 3: me know and spend the next hour sobbing while looking
Speaker 3: at pictures of our trip. The next couple of weeks
Speaker 3: were pretty intense, countless MRIs and doctor's appointments and hundreds
Speaker 3: of video calls with Belgium trying to be present for
Speaker 3: my dad and my family even five hundred or five
Speaker 3: thousand miles away. They were able to schedule a surgery
Speaker 3: to remove the tumor within two weeks, and that was
Speaker 3: a success. But then the tissue analysis came back cancer
Speaker 3: glio blastoma to be specific, the nastiest one. My mom
Speaker 3: joked that for someone that never really got sick at all,
Speaker 3: my dad really picked a good one, true empty siko
Speaker 3: right there with the sense of humor.
Speaker 2: So yeah, here we are.
Speaker 3: My dad start chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments last week and
Speaker 3: he's in for a long fight. I'm here celebrating my
Speaker 3: first Father's Day. Well, I don't know if there was
Speaker 3: also the last one I can celebrate with my dad.
Speaker 3: I'm glad my parents were able to visit before all
Speaker 3: of this happened. I will share those memories forever, as
Speaker 3: I'm sure they will. I was able to surprise my
Speaker 3: dad on Father's Day by telling him we'd be traveling
Speaker 3: back home with the kid in August, a lot sooner
Speaker 3: than expected, which means my siblings, my grandma, and my
Speaker 3: friends will all be able to meet Sebastian and I
Speaker 3: get to meet my little niece as well. I know
Speaker 3: everyone is looking forward to our family vacation, and if
Speaker 3: you really think about it, my dad was able to
Speaker 3: leave for retirement a month early.
Speaker 2: Good silver linings, Silver linings. Overall, all of this seems unfair.
Speaker 3: The old man just became a grandpa for the first
Speaker 3: time and was on the verge of a retirement only
Speaker 3: to be hit by this cancer bs. But we're only
Speaker 3: looking forward now. We'll fight this together and we'll come
Speaker 3: out and we will come out of it stronger. I
Speaker 3: just wanted to thank you guys for starting this pod,
Speaker 3: for providing a community to dads out there, and for
Speaker 3: the distractions these last couple of weeks. Remember to take
Speaker 3: out the trash, to hug your dads, and to tell
Speaker 3: people close to you that you love them before it's
Speaker 3: too late. It matters. Cheers Alexi and him being from Belgium,
Speaker 3: I believe that's vacaz, not whakaz. So I apologize for that, Alexi.
Speaker 3: But yeah, what are some of the thoughts going through
Speaker 3: your head?
Speaker 2: Will?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure it's just a wave, a wave of
Speaker 1: like various emotions, right, sadness, anger, questioning God, questioning why,
Speaker 1: feeling like you're running out of time and it's bullshit
Speaker 1: that your kids are only going to get to meet
Speaker 1: him once twice a handful of times, not knowing how
Speaker 1: you know how quick or how long this fight could be. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess if I had any advice for just being
Speaker 1: in this moment would be what can you do right now?
Speaker 1: It sounds like there's a trip on the books that
Speaker 1: people will be at comes great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, people don't get that.
Speaker 3: A lot of people don't get people don't you know,
Speaker 3: there's there's a lot of people out there that don't
Speaker 3: get to see their grandparents whatsoever. Yeah, if Grandpa is
Speaker 3: able to have conversation, dude, start journaling. Yes, like get
Speaker 3: with them on the phone when you're there, ask him
Speaker 3: things about his past, what he loved about raising you,
Speaker 3: what you hope advice that grandpa would give him to
Speaker 3: give his kids, Yeah, dude, the journal thing, Yeah, really
Speaker 3: good advice. I often think about my grandfather Chatshaw that
Speaker 3: had Parkinson's, who was all still there you just couldn't talk.
Speaker 3: I wish so badly that we had allowed, you know,
Speaker 3: to write down his thoughts, to write down stories.
Speaker 2: And I'm sure that was hard for.
Speaker 3: My mom sitting there and thinking, my kids aren't really
Speaker 3: getting to meet the granddad I know, but also counting
Speaker 3: your blessings of they're getting to meet granddad.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I know it's tough. I'm not Yeah, no,
Speaker 2: of course, I know it's very hard, of course. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but also how lucky are you? Yes? Take advantage?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and take advantage, like try to do your best
Speaker 1: to compartmentalize the noise and figure out what can you
Speaker 1: do and create and stuff.
Speaker 2: Now, I'm in full agreement with that.
Speaker 3: I think that everyone benefits from that, the memory of
Speaker 3: your father, you and your grandkids, even your wife, dude,
Speaker 3: Like everybody benefits from that. And yeah, also, congratulations on
Speaker 3: your first Father's Day and your brother's first Father's Day.
Speaker 2: So much to celebrate.
Speaker 3: Dude, y'all get together and have a really fun time
Speaker 3: in August. Gonna be a blast. Oh, I have an
Speaker 3: email here from let me see, Derek Stewart, Will and Shurham.
Speaker 3: I called into the show, but it ended before I
Speaker 3: could get my whole story out.
Speaker 2: Oh, we hit the he went up against the clock,
Speaker 2: He went up against the clock.
Speaker 1: I wanted to make sure you guys got it, because
Speaker 1: I think you guys deserve the credit. When I called,
Speaker 1: I was talking about how I'm a high school teacher
Speaker 1: trying to make a little extra money over the summer.
Speaker 1: I picked up a job where I'm sitting in a
Speaker 1: cubicle all day staring at a computer screen and not
Speaker 1: talking to anybody. Since I was bored at my desk
Speaker 1: as I decided to find a podcast. All right you
Speaker 1: guys before but never really had the time to listen consistently,
Speaker 1: so I figured this was the perfect opportunity. Well, scoring
Speaker 1: through the episodes, I came across the one where you
Speaker 1: were talking about health scares, and Will shared the story
Speaker 1: about his daughter having a seizure and finding about it
Speaker 1: over the phone.
Speaker 2: And finding out about it over the phone.
Speaker 1: Ever since becoming a dad, I've dealt with a level
Speaker 1: of health anxiety that I never had before. My daughter
Speaker 1: once had a serious breathing issue and had to be
Speaker 1: taken to the hospital by ambulance. It was one of
Speaker 1: the scariest moments of my life hearing that and hearing
Speaker 1: that story, I felt a sense of relief because it
Speaker 1: was one of the first times I'd heard someone describe
Speaker 1: that same fear and helplessness that comes with not knowing
Speaker 1: what's going.
Speaker 2: To happen to your child.
Speaker 1: I got pretty emotional listening listening to it, and actually
Speaker 1: started tearing up at my desk.
Speaker 2: Here's where it gets funny.
Speaker 1: At the exact moment I had tears in my eyes,
Speaker 1: my boss walked by and asked, Hey, is everything okay?
Speaker 2: You good?
Speaker 1: Of course I told him, yeah, yeah, I'm good, because
Speaker 1: I don't I don't really.
Speaker 3: Want to explain that a podcast had me emotional in
Speaker 3: the middle of a work day.
Speaker 2: Hashtag good.
Speaker 1: The funny part is this is only my second week
Speaker 1: on the job, and ever since then, my boss has
Speaker 1: become incredibly helpful.
Speaker 10: I think he assumes I'm struggling and need some mess.
Speaker 10: I think he assumes I'm struggling and needs some extra support,
Speaker 10: so he's eased up on my workload.
Speaker 2: Kind of good.
Speaker 3: So now I'm in a pretty pretty great win win situation.
Speaker 3: Your podcast helped me feel understood, and somehow it also
Speaker 3: got me a lighter workload.
Speaker 1: I just wanted to share that story and let you
Speaker 1: know how much I appreciate what you guys are doing.
Speaker 3: You don't have to do this podcast, but I know
Speaker 3: you're bringing a lot of relief, encouragement, and.
Speaker 2: Joy to dad's everywhere. Appreciate you boys. Cheers, Derek, thank
Speaker 2: you for writing in that is all. What a great email.
Speaker 2: That was a fabulous email. You're doing it, man, you do.
Speaker 2: You're doing all right. First couple of weeks they're like, fuck,
Speaker 2: fuck it good? Yeah, really good. Actually, just take a
Speaker 2: little bit off your plate. Man.
Speaker 3: You know, Derek does a great job around here. Everybody
Speaker 3: really loves him. But uh, some crying his cubicle the
Speaker 3: other day. Yeah, maybe we're putting too much on his plate.
Speaker 2: Do you think he's yeah, overore, somebody's like, hey, I
Speaker 2: think something's off of Derek. No, man, you don't know
Speaker 2: what he's going through. He works, he shows up buses
Speaker 2: ass here, whatever baggage he's got going on outside of here.
Speaker 2: I think he wears it at work because I saw
Speaker 2: him struggling the other day at the cubicle. So keep
Speaker 2: your mouth shut about there. Yeah, yeah, why don't you
Speaker 2: cut on a little extra time, Maybe spend some time
Speaker 2: with him, get to know.
Speaker 3: Him, Maybe you would understand where he's coming. Yeah, get
Speaker 3: to know what's behind the tiers. He's always on these podcasts.
Speaker 2: No he ain't. He's either working or crying.
Speaker 3: I see, Derek, Yeah, Derek, you you really kind of
Speaker 3: fell into a nice little situation there.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: When he said you guys deserve all the crowdit, I'm thinking, okay,
Speaker 1: let's hear let's hear what he's gonna say.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that we don't feel deserving him that one.
Speaker 3: It's like, okay, yeah, yeah, we'll take that crit We'll
Speaker 3: take that one. Yeah, that was us. We'll take credit
Speaker 3: for the lighter workload. Yeah, we had some very kind
Speaker 3: words from the EA guys that we're here.
