• 0:25
  Speaker 1: got to get the candy ready.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: You got to get the trick-or-treating bags ready. Yeah. We're
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: rocking our Olipop hoodies right now. We got them decorated.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: You're seeing a one-of-one from Cerulean Belle Compton. We got
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: the dark balloons on the sides. We got, she wanted
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: to let me know, these are pumpkins down here. These
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: are pumpkins. She wanted the, so Olipop sent this, obviously,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: to color in with the Sharpie. And then on the bottom,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: it's just a straight line. So you can do whatever
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: with the mouth. but she wanted like where the wild
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: things are type teeth. She wanted the pumpkin to have
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: a smile on its face. The nose is very well done.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: She got a little nose in there. She wrote her name.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: I was like, hey Ru, when you're writing your name,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: like I'm like trying, I'm like, don't make it too big.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: And she's like, dad, dad, I know how to write small.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Go ahead. You do you. I know you're getting better
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: in school. I just didn't know where you were as
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: far as the handwriting went.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Will, I have, we've come to my first dad loss.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: We've come to my first ad loss. Show us your pumpkin. Now,
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: is this Skarsgård? That's my first ad loss. I forgot
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: to bring this home to have Skarsgård draw on it.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Really? Like, I saw and I'm like chuckling. I'm like, oh,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: that's so sweet. Because I'm thinking to myself, like, Skarsgård,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: she's not going to be able to color the. She
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: has no clue. No clue. No clue.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: So I did my, as close as I could to
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: an artist's rendition. It's not a true Scarlett Young original,
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: but I thought I did a nice ode to the
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: artist with what.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: I did this morning. So that's you making the markings.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: This is me making the marks, as I think Scarlett
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: would have done. That's offensive to Scarlett. Yeah, that's kind
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: of a shot astray at Scarlett. Like if you're going
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: to do it and you're going to be on this
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: For the Dad show and just admit that I didn't
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: do the homework assignment with Scar Scar and I'm going
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: to tell everybody that I did this shirt, you might
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: as well go all in on doing the hoodie.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: I see it.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: I thought that one was pretty, that's pretty accurate because
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: one of her favorite things to do is she starts
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: screaming when we put the pen in her hand. And
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: she'll get like two marks and she'll see that she's
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: leaving marks. She gets really excited and starts going, and
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: really starts slamming it. So I thought that was actually
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: like going above and beyond there, adding that detail.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: If you know my daughter like I do, that was
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: pretty darn good. But I do issue an apology to PT6.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: And I saw the story even last night.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Well, Derek- sent the text to remind us and thank
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: you deke because i was in a kind of a
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: panic of on sunday night or coming in yesterday for
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: bussing thinking we were gonna wear these on bussing i
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: was like gosh damn it i forgot to take the
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: lollipop box home but then when you're like hey guys
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: reminder we're gonna wear those hoodies on tuesday i was
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: like right when i get to the shop i need
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: to go grab the box and just put it in
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: my truck so that way that way i know it's
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: in there oh my goodness If.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: That lets you know how many texts I didn't do
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: a good job of reading. He had another text that
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: was an important text that I didn't even reply to
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: until this morning.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I texted you both twice yesterday. You ignored one,
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: replied this morning on the other. You ignored the one
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: and ignored the other but did it. So that counts too.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I did what you said. The one with Chip,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I saw Chip's name. I saw Terminal List. It was
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: about 420. At that moment, I was in the bookstore reading.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I see it. I chuckle in my eye. I can't
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: wait to read this about Terminal List. I close the phone,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: and then that's where it goes into the abyss. Because
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: by that time, dad brain kicks in. You're driving home.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: You get going. Totally forgot that that text happened. But
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: you got Terminal List. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. So he
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: did it.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Chip hit me up.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Chip hit me up that Terminal List is out. Little
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: did Chip know, I was finishing the season last night. Okay.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: But then I walk in the shop today. He's like, oh, Will,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: did you see my text? And literally in my head,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking, text? I don't remember getting the- And then
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I scroll and see, and I'm like, that's the one.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I'm sitting there about to read Cat in the Hat
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: in the bookstore to Scotty. And I see, I glance
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: at him, I'm like, oh, I'll get to that later.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Sure enough, we all know it. You open your text,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: then you put it away. You forget to text back.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: The worst part of dad brain that I've come across
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: is the type of dad brain where you are so slotted.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Like you feel like you are so crushing it, where
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: you're supposed to be, what you're doing, that it's, I mean,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: you already forgot the two other things that's going on
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: over here, but you thought you were doing such a
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: good job, dude.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I had the kids solo over the weekend, and
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: by the time Charles got home, she gave me a
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: huge compliment. She was like, you crushed it this weekend. Like,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: you cleaned more than, like, she was subtly surprised.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Team effort to the ball club.
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Rue was helping Scotty. She was sort of doing what
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Scotty does, but that's a full team effort. However, I
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: thought I left a bottle of, At Cracker Barrel or
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: the flag football game or something because I just couldn't
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: find it. Fortunately, eventually, when Trevor was about to put
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Scotty down, I found it laying behind the chair, the rocker. Yeah.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: It just fell off. But I didn't know where it was.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: I kind of gave it the whole, I think I
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: got to go to Cracker Barrel. I think I left
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: it there. Yeah. But I'm also thinking, I hope you
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: don't make this a deal. Cause it's a bottle at
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: the end of the day.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: But you're already prepping for, all right, did I, did
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I knock it all out of the park? Did I
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: check all the boxes?
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: And then your, your brain instantly goes to, well, I
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: am a really dumb dad. So I probably, I probably
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: left it three places ago. That's the same thing I
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: did with the diapers and wipes.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I was like, Oh my God, Scarlett's out of diapers.
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I forgot him at home. Forgot him at home. Jill's like, honey,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: it's in the back. My wife didn't know it, but
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I had already mentally prepared for like three different scenarios
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: over the bottle. Oh, no. Just to just have the conversation.
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Just to be like, sweetheart, we have to know. And
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: this convo never even had, it didn't happen. But I
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: got to a point as I'm like doing dishes and
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: kind of cleaning the house and kind of working myself like, okay,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: if she mentions the bottle, how do we chalk it up?
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: It is just a little bottle. Like we can just
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: get another one. But also the rapport, the evidence of
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Willie C is there's always something missing when mama comes home.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: And I was just going to go full into that
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: dead end and be like, at the end of the day,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: you just have to assume when you're leaving for the weekend,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: there's going to be something missing.
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: By the time you get home. And I just need
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: you to know I'm doing my best at all times.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: And I just have an aspect of can't get right
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: in this one area. Which is fine.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: The Yelp review is going to read, Willie C, great dad.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: The kids never choke. They never drown. They make it
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: through the weekend. They get home safe. He crushes bedtime.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: If you want a bedtime story, this is your guy.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Might lose a bottle.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Here and there. Might lose a bottle here and there.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: 4.5 stars out of 5. Might lose a bottle here
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: and there. At some point, I need your... Again, we
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: didn't have to get into this conversation, but it was
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: going to be, I just need your brain to get
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: to you can't be surprised anymore. Just know that I'm
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: going to push myself to the limit every time. Yes.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: And I'm very hard on myself when I drop the
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: ball in a small situation as far as leaving a
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: bottle of Cracker Barrel. Didn't, by the way, it was
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: behind the chair. Yes. Behind the rocker. But dad brain,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: I didn't realize it fell down. But guess what?
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: It popped up.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: You're just going to have to know. We got to
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: stop with the, you just can't be surprised anymore. I
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: can sympathize with the biter dad now. We have follow-ups
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: with the biter dad. Good. I sympathize with him now
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: because it's that same, hey, you know what? She's going
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: to bite.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: Willie C's going to lose a bottle, and Sherm's just
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: going to completely forget that something was on the schedule
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: until two days before.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: It's just going to happen. Yeah, yeah.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: We do have follow-ups from the bite fiasco last week
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: where a report card came in about 50 bites for
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: a young one. He was asking for advice. We didn't
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: necessarily have very good advice for him. We have some follow-ups.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: We did a proposal on last week's episodes for a couple.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Absolutely butchered the proposal. However, I'm hearing she said yes.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: She did say yes. I have an APR directly from Jill.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: Every single week, I don't get a full APR from
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: Jill on the episodes. She listened to this last week's episode.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: I will try to quote her as close.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: As I can. Y'all seemed very helpful this last episode.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: That's the APR?
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: That was the APR.
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: You know, we'll take that.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: She said, y'all were really like kind of like giving
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: some advice and seemed very helpful this last episode.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Like it wasn't just, you know, jokes the entire time.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I go, okay. Yeah. We'll take a compliment where we
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: can get it. We'll take it. I go, do you
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: listen to a lot of the episodes? She was like, yeah.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: I like every other week. I listen to them.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: I was like, okay.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Charo was ready to go. We were laying in bed
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: and Charo asked- It would be good to understand the
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: situation with the biting. Like, why is the bite happening?
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: What scene is taking place before the bite? Great question.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Is it, does the baby or does the little one
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: always think that they're playing? Is the little one going
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: through a developmental thing where biting is like their only
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: emotional response to something that's not going well for them?
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Or is it another kid antagonizing the bite? She's like,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: I need to understand. I would be asking the teacher,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: what is taking place before the bite is happening? Let's
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: start with figuring out the why. She's like, 50 bites?
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: She's like, that's a lot of bites. That's a lot
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: of bites.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: I'm glad that someone is on the side of biter. Like, Charo,
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: she's trying desperately to get in the mind of 50
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: biter and be like, why bite? She's asking the questions.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: She's trying to take the stance of, like, what is
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: taking place? Like, if I'm the parent, I'm going in
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, what is taking place before the bite?
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: I'm sure these parents have done the same thing. Yeah.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: And at this point, you just got to chalk it
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: up to, you know, when you leave for a weekend trip,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: you're just going to have to assume that something's going
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: to go missing. Like, hey, the kid is just biting
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Spoiler alert, Charles' mindset on that is my lesson of
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: the week.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Oh. It is my lesson of the week. I'm sure
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Charles listening right now is fully aware that she has
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: taken the stance of won't be surprised because she would
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: flood me with the compliments of, like, you crushed. She
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: sent me a very nice text at the end of
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: the night when she was exhausted and needed to go
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: to bed. I want to stay up and watch Terminal List.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: I had a nice couple back-to-back texts like, sweetheart, I
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: just want to let you know you crushed.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So that was a good one. That's a good feeling.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: That's a good little dad win right there. I had
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: a really fun weekend too. We basically kind of had
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: our Halloween weekend this weekend because we'll be in Chicago.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Actual Halloween. And I'll get into it with my crack
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: of cold one.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: We have a great dad hack for Halloween this weekend,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: by the way. Just stay tuned. We have a good
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: dad hack that was written into us.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: And we have one last housekeeping item. I have here
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: a special video for Will.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's in the Dropbox. If you want to slide

  Speaker 4: the computer over to him, we'll just keep it at it.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: It's a very special video for Will. That's all we got.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Okay.

• 11:57
  Speaker 1: you guys? I don't know. I don't know what this is.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: I really do not. I got some follow-ups here that
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: I can't wait to read. And you just watch it.

• 13:39
  Speaker 1: I loved it.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: It kind of unlocked a little something for me, too.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: If I don't have sons, when he was like, I
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: had 10 grandsons, I was like, Oh, man, I didn't
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: even think about that.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: He has 10 grandsons? 10 grandsons. Are they watching the
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: VHS tapes of the Dan Gable coaching back in the day?
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: It would be my question. Yeah. Like, pop in the tapes.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Your grandpa got busy, bro. Yes.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: He's got his own VHS library at his house. That
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: little lake house he talks about where he works out,
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: he gets on the bike out by the lake, grandkids
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: come over.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Do you think his grandkids truly understand who their grandpa is?
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: They never will. Not like you do. If they're a gable,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: you got to be optimistic that they will.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: I think that they'll be able to personify that and
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: become that with good coaching, but you never truly appreciate.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? Yeah, because it's grandpa. Because
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: it's grandpa. That was awesome. Shout out to you guys.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Was that you, Deke? That's all Deke. Team effort, team effort.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Thank you, guys. Team effort. Thank you, Deke. It really
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: was Deke. Listen, Taylor gave me a one-on-one Emmitt Smith,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, hey, he gifted it to me, and
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: I'm like, would you mind if I gift this to
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: my dad? Because he's a massive Cowboys fan. Or he
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: was back in the day.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's sick.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Now, I want to say, my old man is going
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: to be so fired up that Dan Gable sent me
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: that personalized video. My old man, it was the stack
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: of VHS back in the wrestling days, bro. He'd have
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: us in there watching him.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: I could already see Bill Compton watching it too and
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: adjusting his glasses and kind of look at you while
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: it's playing it.
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: Adjusting glasses.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: You know the old man's proud of all the stuff
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: I've gotten to do. You got to play in the NFL,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: but that Dan Gable video is going to be like...
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: He sent this to you, you guys' number? Will, how
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: did he send this to you? Hold on. Can we
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: call him right now? That is awesome. Thank you, guys.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: We got some follow-ups here. We got some follow-ups. Here's
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: one right here from Matt Welch, the one who she
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: said yes to in spite of Will's reading, dot, dot, dot.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: She said, yes, boys, hit the gong.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, I felt so bad.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: You crushed it. But he said it was perfect. He
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: said we wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: Good.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Good.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Good. I saw a lot of compliments to you staying
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: in the pocket, keeping me poised.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Hey, you got this.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: You got it. Hit the gong.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Hit the gong.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: On the one.
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: Line.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: It was like mess up, mess up, and then the
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: one line we can't mess up on. I just loved
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: your reaction. You hated it the most. You hated it
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: the most. But a very good job. Brent, gosh, I'll
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: take a rip at this.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Chola.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: Brent Chola says, 90s were a different time. I'm not
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: saying this is the move, but I was allegedly a
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: biter in preschool, according to my mom. I was one
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: bite away from being kicked out of preschool. My mom
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: bit the shit out of my arm to teach me
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: a lesson. I then became a functioning member of society
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: with understanding. 90s were a different time. You remember Ryan Tamales?
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, yes. I forget the thing that he was... He'd
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: known last time. Oh, I think it was like all
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: the childcare stuff.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: He was on vacation.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: We let everybody else raise the kids. Ryan Tamales writes in.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: He's a fan of the show. He's a PT sicko.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: He's got some more just negative fodder here. Oh, no.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: For the kids biting. He says, if your kid has
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: bit somebody 50 times, you as a parent deserve to
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: get your ass beat. I forgot. What are we talking about?
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Was that on YouTube? I read that. It was one
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: of the first comments on the episode. It said, for
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: the parents that have kids getting bit, start teaching them
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: how to throw some mother effing hands at all ages.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: What?
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Stop teaching your kids it's okay to be messed with
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: mentally or physically.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: What's the parent group at public schools where it's like
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: all the booster parents?
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: PTA.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: PTA meetings make so much more sense to me now, dude.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: There's so many different types of parenting types in one room.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: It sounds like you need your ass whooped. Hey, you
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: don't speak to my daughter like that. Well, your daughter
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: doesn't need to be biting everybody she sees. How about that? Oh,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: praise to the biters, dude. Praise to the biters. Praise
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: to the biters, man.
• 18:21

  Speaker 3: And I wonder if having a boy, if that, you know,
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: if anything's different about it, if you get like a
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: different ribbon.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: There's... Rumors in the air. Some boy dad merch coming.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Rumors in the air. Just putting that out there. Dude, Charles,

• 19:33
  Speaker 1: but I felt like I felt him. Felt him today.

  Speaker 1: Earlier today. I kind of perk up. I'm like, oh.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: How hard is he kicking?
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Is he strong?
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: No.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: You want to know what my comment was? He's trying
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: to get in a three-point stance. He's already trying to
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: figure out the A-gap. Is he head up or is
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: he head down right now? He's got to be head down.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know. He's roaming. He's got range in there
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: right now. How can I get around it, huh?
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: It's Will choosing a lollipop in a gas station, that
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: same stance where you're picking through stuff. He's trying to
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: find his way.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah. He's like, how do I get out of here?
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: How do I go?
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: She's like, I feel like my stomach is bigger than
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: it was with Scott in the room. I'm like, it's
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: because he's a stud. God. Choro, I know what you're doing, too,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: and keep doing it. She's teeing you up perfect. She's

  Speaker 1: saying all the right things. Man, this is, I mean,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: he's heavy. He's just heavy. Yeah, he is. He's going
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: to have the tangibles. Yeah, he is. Oh, Chara, well done.

  Speaker 1: They know that. 20 bucks a pop, front and back.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Easy.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Come on. Even when I was a young little jit, bro,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: I'd get on the second. I wouldn't be big enough
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: to do the high one, and I'd be on that
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: middle bar just pushing away. Well, my old man, you
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: got to keep it straight. You got to keep it steady.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Like I'm pushing a sled. How old were you once
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: you were able to get the ripcord going? Man, I
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: don't even know. Had to be what? Nine, ten? Yeah, yeah.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: God, that was the sign that you were like really
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: going to be something when you were the friend in
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: the group that could get the go-kart started or something
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: started with one rep.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Once that tension hits right when you get it a
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: few inches away, you just can't yank it yet, bro.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Was there also any worse feeling when you couldn't get
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: it going and then you finally are like, shit, I
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: got to go ask my dad. He comes out there
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: and he's like, all you do is rip it. And
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: he just one starts it and looks over you and goes,
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: and you just have to sit with it.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: And he goes to hand it to you, but you
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: don't clasp the other bar that goes down to the.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: Oh, dude.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: And it goes off again, and I'm like, oh, shit.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Stadium pulse at a maximum. Yeah. You got to hold...
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: What is that?
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Or you fuck with the choke wrong. Like, you don't...
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: You put it to low choke, like, too soon, and
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: then it goes off, and he's like, son, come on.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: I told you. You're choking. Keep it medium. Give it
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: a little gas.

• 25:18
  Speaker 1: I believe so.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Okay. Oh, sorry.
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: He put that in quotations and says, AKA the Color

  Speaker 1: Color guard commander.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Gotcha. Sorry about that. When he said that out loud,
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh my God, I actually got it right.

• 26:01
  Speaker 1: When we were driving back from the bookstore yesterday to
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: get that sticker book, I took a different route than Mama.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: And so we pulled up next to Mama, and she's like, well,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: why don't you follow Mama? I'm like, because we got
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: to beat Mama home. Oh, Willie C. I'm like, do
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: you think we'll get home first, or do you think
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Mama will get home first? She's like, Dada, we have
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: to win. And I'm like, that's what I'm talking about.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Here we go. Here we go. We're unlocking something in
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: brew right now.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: And then when we got home, she's like, Dada, we're
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: home before mom and Scotty. We have to go hide.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Like, let's get inside. We get the shoes off. She's like,
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: where do you want to hide? And I'm like, well,
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: let's stand by the window and see where they're coming.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: So that way we're not just hiding in a hiding
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: spot for 20 minutes. Dad hack. Yeah. So I'm standing
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: by the window and I'm like, oh, here they come.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: We got to go. So we go and hide like
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: in the back closet and like a dark closet. I'm like,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: are you sure you want to hide back here? Like,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: we should probably make it easy. They don't even know
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: we're hiding from them. She's like, no, no, no, let's
• 26:57

• 27:02
  Speaker 1: the house. They're putting stuff down. And they're like, Dada? Ruru?

  Speaker 1: And then they just start living their life. And I'm like, Ruru,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: we have to let them. They don't know that we're

  Speaker 1: playing hide and seek right now.

  Speaker 1: almost had another one. We almost overslept for ballet. Almost.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: Almost.

  Speaker 1: for success for y'all? Yeah, like you get rocking to
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: hit ballet first, and then you go into the next iterations.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: Absolutely it does.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Gymnastics is the same for us.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: And Charo FaceTimed, and I kind of answer, like, we've
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: got to get up. We've got to get rolling. It
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: was about 8 o'clock. You've got to get both kids ready.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: And then get out of the house by like 8.40.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: But you know what I mean? It's breakfast, it's all
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: the stuff. You've got so many moving parts to get
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: it done right. Yeah. It's coming off a couple days.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: I don't want to sit there and bitch and complain,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: but exhaustion with the shows and the travel and my
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: wife leaving me. For the weekend, solo, all the childcare.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Ryan Tamale's like this. I had no childcare coming to
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: save your boy. I had to raise him myself. He's going,
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: thank you, God. Oh, God forbid you got to watch
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: the kids. But anyway, we did a sleepover with me,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: but we got to get rolling. You always miss. It's
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: the always, sweetheart. It's the always, and she knows this.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: But it's the always. You want to get me in
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: kind of like a certain mood. I got very short
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: with her after she says, yeah, but you always miss ballet.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, that was one time. One time we
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: missed ballet. And I was like, oh, always. She's like, oh, yeah.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: And she's trying to keep it light. And I'm like,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: all right, hey, I got to go. We got to
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: get to ballet. Kept it short with her. You know
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: what I mean? She had some of her people around
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: her up to you. You're kind of hitting me with
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: always right now, and you triggered me. We're going to
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: show your candy ass, and we're going to get to ballet.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Did we get to ballet? Of course we got to ballet.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Did we eat a waffle on the way to ballet?
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Of course you did.
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: Of course we did. A protein waffle. Did Godzilla get
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: her baba in the car?
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, dude. Car babas are.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 31:14
  Speaker 8: And.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Dad had put Scotty in a ponytail, which Charles was
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: wildly impressed because we haven't gotten her hair into a
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: ponytail yet. But dad did. With the little micro rubber bands?
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: I don't fuck with those, bro. What are you using?
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Those scare me. Those scare me too. Actual just the
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: hair ties. The rubber bands, the little thin rubber bands,
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: they just scare me with like... Pulling the scalp. Yes, bro.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Like when I got to get Scotty's hair, like when
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: she has a couple of cute pigtails going and I'm
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: sitting up there, I'm like, I got to get these
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: off of her. And I'm always looking at these micro.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Because then you grab pieces of the hair while you're
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: trying to pull them off. And she'll be like, ow. Well, yes.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: And so those just, those intimidate me. I hate having,
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: because you can't like, you know, when you have the
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: regular hair tie.
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: You can just kind of pull it off. You know
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: what I mean?
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: And it slides right off.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Slides off. The rubber band ones, you got to grab
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: the little, you got to grab one of the little
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: deals and like work it off.
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: And if I don't have nails, I'm then having to
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: like almost use one hand, bad radio, but one hand to...
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: Press down on Scarlett's hair to make sure the hair
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: is locked in so now I can fully pull the
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: rubber band off and it's not like ripping hair out
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: of her head.
• 32:26
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: But Jill's sitting there going like, oh, yeah, you just
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: pull it out. Like, yeah, it's going to pull on
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: her hair a little bit, but like she gets used
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: to that. And I'm like, that looks like that hurts
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: really bad. Yeah, it doesn't feel like she's.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Getting used to it.
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: She's telling me ouch.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Ouch. Then you get to the spot where you got
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: it in your nails, but you're starting to lose it,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: but you're like two-thirds of the way there. And you're like,
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: do I just keep yanking? I can't let go because
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: if I let go, it's going to get caught up
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: in the hair.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: And so I'm pulling, and it's going to pull right now.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: But I see a little bit of hair that's leaking
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: out that I can funnel through with my other finger.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Yes, bro. Well, it's the worst. You've got the two
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: little ribs left that are still down at the base
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: because you've got that one going.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: It's the worst.
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: But apparently once you get like two of those things
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: off and you only have like the two rings left,
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: you can just, you're good to go.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: It comes out smooth, but it's just grabbing the hair
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: and I just feel bad with my little girl. Like
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I know that I'm not trying to hurt you. God,
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: I couldn't feel you. I couldn't feel you more on that.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Couldn't feel you more.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: Had a really big dad loss that I turned into
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: a dad win.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: Let's hear about it.
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: I don't know how much detail I can go into.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: Maybe I can give like a little bit of detail
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: that isn't TMI, but it's just some good detail. Jill
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: was a little frustrated with my pace of dish cleaning.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: I'm cleaning the dishes, Will. You say your pace? My
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: pace at which I'm cleaning the dishes. Okay. Okay. So
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: I'm getting a talking to. I then say, You know what?
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: You said you can't.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: Get in bed until the dishes are clean, but I'm
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: the one doing the dishes. Why don't you just go
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: to the bed, get your comfy jammies on, and go
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: throw on that foot massager that I got you for
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: your birthday that you love so much, and go throw
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: on one of your favorite shows? She can't do that
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: if she knows the dishes are dirty.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: My brain....
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: And I don't want to be insensitive. I don't want
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: to say too much. But my brain went to, this
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: is a little bit extra than what the usual, like
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: Jill wanting to get this figured out. She seems maybe
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: a little bit more.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: Upset than usual. Yeah, I'm hearing a little tone. I'm
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: hearing a little tone. And so I said, what if
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: I made some popcorn and got a little bowl of
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: ice cream for you? She said she didn't want that.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: I said, I think you do. She went to bed.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: Popcorn and ice cream?
• 35:07
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: She went to bed. I came in there.
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: I made it in the pot, like the one where
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: you put oil and you throw the kernels in there.
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: Threw a little butter on there, a little salt on there.
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: Came and placed it next to her in bed. She's
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: still kind of frustrated on her phone and her reality
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: TV's gone and the little foot massager.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: I didn't say a word.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: I go get a little bowl of ice cream. I
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: go give it to her. Come back in after I'm
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: done doing the dishes, and she said, you fixed me.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: She said, you were right. I did want those snacks.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: I said, oh, okay.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: Interesting.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: Interesting, interesting. Yes, Deke.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: Just a question from the audience.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: I feel like she kind of owns you, bro. Okay.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: I can see where you're coming from. The phone, the
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: reality TV, feet in the foot massager?
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: Echoing you about the dishes?
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: I got to take my time on the dishes was
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: the beautiful part. I got to throw on my little
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: Game of Thrones audio book.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: A nice dad hack is you lean toward doing the dishes.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: I took my sweet time.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: And I made her some snacks that she said she
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: definitely did not want that. Did not want the snacks.
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: Wasn't in the mood for it.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: I said, I think you are.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: I think you are.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: When she said, you fixed me, did you follow up with,
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: now you can go clean that pot? That's what I
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: should have done. That's what I should have done. Hey,
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: those dishes you just finished off, they need some cleaning.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: And I think the dishwasher's already going because I started it.
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: So you might want to hand wash that pot. You
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: might want to hand wash that.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: Got the sponge ready for you. Uh-huh. I just, my
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: spider senses were tingling. It's an epidemic. It's an epidemic.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: My wife's the same way. In the mentality of you
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: can't get comfortable until all the things in their mental load,
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: the cleaning around the house is done.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: And good to go. You can't take a load off
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: for just a few minutes.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: Before everything's done. Because I try to introduce Charo like, hey,
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: let me teach you about this world a little bit.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: You just get done doing bedtime. I know there's a
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: couple toys and a couple things around the house that, yeah,
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: could we tidy them up and it be all clean? Absolutely.
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: Now, when you're doing this, really quick, is she sitting
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: on the couch? Are you standing up in the living
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: room and just kind of talking and using your hands
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: while you're breaking this down for her?
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: Feet are kicked up on the couch.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: She's walking down from her rabbit bed.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: Her rabbit bed? Like whether it's Scottie Rue, like if
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: she's coming down last. She's coming down and I'm already
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: thinking in my head, I didn't hit the toys. The
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: couple toys. I'm not saying it's a mess. It's like
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: a couple things. The lights on in the laundry room.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? If you got an Ollipop
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: in one hand, it may be like the other hand
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: like this. Let me teach you a little something about life.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: Just a little.
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: Let me give you a little two cents. Don't even
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: look at the couple things you need taken care of.
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: Come kick your feet up on the couch. Step over
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: the fire truck. Watch your step. Watch your step.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: We got the Cowboys Eagles are on right now. Kick
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: your feet up and just forget about everything else.
• 38:31
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: Take a load off. We'll handle the couple lights and
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: the couple toys we got to clean up here in
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: the bed.
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: As we're going to bed.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: You don't even think about it. I'll take care of
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: those things.
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: You're teaching her about the bare necessities. You know, there's
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: just Hakuna Matata, babe.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: It's fine. Don't let your mental load control you. Yes.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: Sometimes just be like, you.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: F * * * the mental load right now.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: Let's go kick the feet up on the couch.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: Enjoy a few minutes of downtime.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: Here's a little ollie pop for you. You want me
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: to clean the house when there's a two-minute drill going
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: on right now?
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: Babe, do you realize the average household does not do
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: dishes during a two-minute drill? You do realize that, right?
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: Even those families that are watching soccer halfway across the world,
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: they ain't doing the dishes during the soccer game.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: But I've found that, I'm not going to even say
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: the majority of wives. I don't have the data yet.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: But based on your example, based on my experiences, I
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: feel like the... the female, the wife brain, they can't
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: be comfortable unless the things are done around the house
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: before they get comfortable.
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: Which usually that is the argument of I'm not doing it.
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: But when it was happening while I was doing it,
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: My brain said, there's some other factors at play here,
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: and I'll leave it at that.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Because, man, we can be comfortable in the chaos
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: or a mess.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: That's that yin and yang. That's that partnership. That's that

  Speaker 4: We made it through the first month, which is the hardest,
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: people say. No, it's going really well. The veil of
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: comfortability is there where it's like, what are you going
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: to do, file paperwork and leave me?
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: You're not. That takes a lot of shit.
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: We can do it.

  Speaker 4: But no, we signed up to host a Halloween party
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: on Friday, and we are going through it with that. Yeah,

  Speaker 4: I'm on cleaning duty the rest of the week. So
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: it's been great.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: You can't throw comments like that. What do you do?
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: File paperwork? So Deke's watching the two-minute drill. That's good
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: to know.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: Talk about a trigger sentence right there. You're going to
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: file paperwork and leave me? What are you going to do?
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: Tell your family we failed?
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: Grow up.
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: You said I do like what? A couple of weeks ago.
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, now you don't?
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: She has the same thing where she can't breathe oxygen
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: unless her to-do list is done. And I introduced her
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: to breaks the other day. I said, look at this
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: long list of shit right here.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: That's a break.
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: Right after we vacuum, right before we mop, that's a break.
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: That's a break.
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: She doesn't buy it, but in my brain I'm like, yeah,
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: let's do a little shit. Take an hour, watch a
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: show or something, do some more shit. Take a little break.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: Grab you a snack.
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: Grab you a snack.
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: Dad hack or just husband hack, laundry is the best
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: break slash still getting stuff done of all time. You
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: get the laundry folding while You got the dancing with
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: the stars or the football game or whatever you're watching.
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: That was a dad hack a couple of episodes ago.
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: The guy was like, just do laundry and bring it
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: with you. Oh, well, that's where I learned it.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: Football, I think, was what it was.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it. That was a good one.
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: It is a fabulous dad hack. Speaking of dad hacks,
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: I got one here from Zach Amundsen on Spotify. This
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: is a. This is one, a follow up with like
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: the hitting. Oh, dad hack. When my daughter, 13 months,
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: starts hitting mom, dad or herself. we redirect her with
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: we blow kisses instead. So now she knows just to
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: blow a kiss or is able to quickly correct with
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: a little direction. Charles had an APR on that too.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: And she's like, I know you were doing the, the,
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: the no hit whatever my explanation was on like the
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: laughing Charles like yeah what did Charles say because Charles
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: like I'm very intentional about the the whole hitting thing
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: and it is redirection like when Scotty's hitting she'd be
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: like oh hands up hands up and just putting hands
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: up to like redirect their brain into doing something else
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: to get out of the because was it you saying
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: you want your nose to be nose yeah stuff like
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: that like utilizing like still utilizing that concept yeah something
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: like that's happening just getting their brain to redirect on
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: something else. She was like, I go on the full,
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: she's like, I know you said like you laugh and
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: do all this stuff. She's like, if you're watching me,
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: like I do full philosophy on redirection of things you
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: don't want them doing. Yes, that's exactly. Oh, hands up,
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: hands up. And then they, you know, hands go up.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: She's like, if you notice with Scotty, I'm like, I mean,
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: I'll notice the hitting and I'll kind of chuckle or whatever.
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's exactly, that's really, really funny because that's what
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: Jill did a bit of research. on the matter and
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: then we have the 15 month appointment. So she was
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: like asking our doctor and it was that exact same
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: thing of like get their mind onto another action that
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: is a positive action or like almost a distraction from
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: what is upsetting them because they're not that upset about
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: whatever's upsetting them. Once they can fully process that emotion
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: of like, I'm upset about blank, but now we've moved
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: on to B, you know, Now we're all about B.
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: So when we go back to A, we might actually
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: like eat the food that we were mad about, like
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: not wanting to eat. And it, it like really did work.
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: Like it was crazy how Scarlett was like throwing a tantrum.
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: Then we get her distracted a bit and get her
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: onto something.
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: Jill really was doing this.
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: And then as soon as she went back to her plate,
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: just starts doing fistfuls of food with the tears still
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: on her face.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, money. I don't know. I don't know
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: how that worked, but so good. Like kudos, Charo. Shout
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: out the wives, man. Shout out the wives.
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: But we didn't implement like an action like right when
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: that happens, but I want to do that.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you give feedback. You can see
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: if it works. Yes.
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: When Scarlet falls and it's like a big tumble, I
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: really do try to do that to make her like tough.
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm. And be like, whoa, that was really cool.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: And like, oh, you're so strong, Scarlett. Good job. And,
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: you know, try and do stuff. But I need to
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: implement that with the bad stuff. One I found, because
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: Chef got to witness some of the Scotty not eating
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: or just some of the stuff at dinner. But Scotty
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: likes to like point her finger on this like little,
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: you know, there's like in the wood, whether there's like
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: a little hole or a black spot, she just loves
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: to like put her finger on it and act like
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: she's playing. So I've started to put my hand over
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: her hand And then she'll put her other hand on
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: my hand and we'll do the hand stack. And then
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: I'll lean into her and I'm like, all right, we're
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: going to say, you want to say mama on three?
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: And she'll be like, yeah. And we'll be like, one, two, three, mama.
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: And we've started this little game of stacking hands during dinner.
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: She tells it up mama and she'll want to do
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: another one. I'm like, oh, we can't do another one
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: until you take a bite of food.
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: A question about that.
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: It's gotten her to eat. It's gotten her to eat
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: a lot better.
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: I got a question about that because I was curious
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: because I noticed that maybe later like dinner's about to
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: end on the hand stacking you you almost went for
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: like a no no hand stack and then i saw
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: almost almost had an eruption from scotty so is it
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: like a how do you cut off the hand stacking
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: because she just wants to keep doing it at least
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: from what i saw yeah it looked like.
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: Rue was involved in wanting to do it too it's
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: like when they're both trying to do it i'm trying
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: to like corral both and i'm almost just now like
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: in in the action in real time figuring out like
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: okay this can help because it's like scotty won't eat
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: she'll want mama to feed her charles trying to eat
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: and then she's gotta she'll get the fork like she'll
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: she'll allow char to do it but to To combat it,
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: what I've been realizing is, like, when I get her
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: to do that, and it's just me and her doing it,
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: the one, two, three, say whatever. She wanted to say mama, dada, rue, waffle,
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: and Uncle Wyatt all at the same time. Like, as
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: we're doing, like, go, you know, one, two, three, Uncle Wyatt, mama,
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: roll off the whole Rolodex. But I won't do another one.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: You have to eat a bite first, then we'll continue
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: to play.
• 46:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: Gotcha. And you haven't gotten– what I noticed is that she, like–
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: started to yell when you're like no not yet and
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: i was wondering do you ever like if you go
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: like no you gotta eat first is there ever like
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: interruption or like does she like in between that and
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: then you're like okay go back to the hand stack
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: because it looked like a negotiate like there was a
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: dance there from how i saw it.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: What interruption of scotty are you talking.
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: About like uh i forgot i think you said something
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: like uh or maybe it was like used as like
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: you used it like she looked like she might have
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: was about to start crying and you're like oh let's
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: do the hand stack And I was like, okay, that's
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: like a deterrent from the hand stack. But then I
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: was like, my mind goes to like with Rue when
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: she was showing that she didn't have eyeballs on and
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: stuff like that. And I realized I fed into that,
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: which I realized very quickly. I laughed too hard because
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: then it was the funniest thing in the world. And
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: then I was kind of stuck between a rock and
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: a hard place for a couple minutes, continuing to laugh
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: at it. But I was sitting there. I was like, oh,
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: I wonder if it ever gets to the world. Like
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: if Will says no, no hand stack, it's Armageddon.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: Um, the hand stack is used. Like if she's upset
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, all right, let's go to the hand stack.
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to redirect her brain. I'm like, Hey, let's
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: get to the hand stack doing something she might want
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: to do. I might go three in a row.
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: So that way her full mentality is we're playing the
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: hand stack game right now. Once I get her in
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: the full mentality of we're having fun, we're playing and
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: she's in a better mood. Then I go into, okay,
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: we'll do another one. You have to take a bite
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: first where she wasn't eating at all. And then all
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: of a sudden she's down to take bites and eat
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: because you can't do another hand stack until you take
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: a bite.
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It's psychological warfare.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, at all times. At all times. It is.
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: And I'm very much on the precipice of that beginning
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: with going outside. Scarlett has learned her first two syllable word.
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: Outside. Outside.
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: And she just goes to the front door and just
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: smacks on the front door. And if we don't go
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: open the front door and we go outside and walk
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: around and look at the Halloween decorations, meltdown.
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: Meltdown.
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: And so it happened right before dinner. We didn't have
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: enough time to go outside right before dinner. And I
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: don't know if she can understand me. She's 15 months.
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: But I'm sitting there bouncing her going, If we eat
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: our food, Dada will go outside with you. We'll go
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: outside in the pink car. I'll push you around in
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: the pink car. She got that fork and just was
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: knocking the eggs out and started doing the all done
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: hands like pretty quick. And I was like, I think
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: she might understand what's going on here. So I was like,
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: do you want to go outside? She just starts bucking
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: in that eye chair. I was like, all right, well,
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: you finished your plate. So let's go outside. Let's go
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: knock it out. That was like my first little iteration
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: of it. you have them starting to understand and i
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: don't know i mean like i said she's about to
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: be 16 months but it felt like she understood yeah
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: bro you got to give these little ones some credit
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: now yeah you understand a little bit more than you
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: like have like i wonder if she even knows what
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: i'm saying like sometimes no but it These little ones,
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: they're a resilient bunch.
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: It is crazy.
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: They can figure out some stuff going on. Yes.
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: When you think that they're just like a little baby,
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: you know, da-da-da, and then all of a sudden they're, hi, da-da.
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: From like real far away. And I'm like, man, she's
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: locked in at all times. Yeah. Just absorbing stuff, seeing things. Yeah.
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: I have a bonus dad hack along with, I have
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: a dad hack right here. My bonus dad hack, we
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: went to Gentry Farms.
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: Nice.
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: We're three for three on Gentry Farms now. We make
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: sure we go every year as part of the spooktober tradition.
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: And they have a hayride. And before I went on,
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: I don't want to give myself too much credit, but
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: I did have a brilliant dad hack idea of instead
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: of Jill and I sitting next to each other on
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: the hayride, we sat opposite sides back to back. Because
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: there's cows on one side, but when you're coming back
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: the other way, now the cows are on the other side.
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: And all we had to do was once we got
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: to the turnaround point, mama gives Scarlett to me.
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: Now Scarlett's getting double dip on getting to see everything.
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: Gentry Farms, good hayride. Fantastic hayride. Yes. The little historic
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: home that you drive by. I mean, it's one of
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: my favorite. I look forward to it every year. I
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: truly love Gentry Farms. I have a Halloween dad hack.
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: Ooh, go.
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: Halloween dad hack. This is a good one. This is
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: from Shane Clore on Spotify. Dad hack with Halloween basically
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: upon us. Here is a good hack for all you
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: sickos so your kids don't overindulge on candy. The candy fairy.
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: At the end of the night, fill the trick-or-treating. Let
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: the kids pick out their favorite 10 or so pieces
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: of candy. Parentheses, scale with their age. The rest... Put
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: it into a bag and leave it by the back
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: door for the candy fairy to trade them a toy
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: for their candy. Your kids are super pumped for the toy,
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: and mom and dad get to enjoy the candy until
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: it's gone. Yo. That's a good dad hack.
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: That's a fantastic dad hack. That's fantastic. I have it equally.
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: I was just doing a little quick reading. This is
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: an unreal dad hack. It comes from Kanan Mullins, 5040
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: on YouTube. What up, PT Sickos? ST Sicko here. Got
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: a dad hack for the boys. My girlfriend is a
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: grad student studying to be a dietician, and she dropped
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: a dad hack I wanted to share. She said to
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: help prevent kids from just wanting dessert, put the dessert
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: on their dinner plate. Now the veggies are equal to
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: the cookies. The dessert no longer becomes a reward, but
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: rather just another element to the dinner. Even let them
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: eat the cookie first, but also encourage them to try
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: everything else on the plate. It's best to start this
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: approach as young as possible. Hope this helps someone, and
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: good luck. Keep crushing the show, boys. Tier one listening.
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: Love you, boys.
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: And I could see that working, but I also know
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: with some kids, that sounds like a kid-to-kid dad hack.
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: Like he said, you start them as early as possible.
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't have that evidence to know if that's something
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: that would work. Cause I, I don't trust, would not
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: trust Rue and Scotty right now.
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying, dude.
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: And working with like, I've only really worked with like
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: kids at the age of six at like little summer camps.
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: There were some kids where it's like, Hey, you're only
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: getting one cookie.
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: They're like, great.
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: I'll take my one cookie. I'll go sit under the
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: tree and eat it. And then there's the other kid
• 53:15

  Speaker 1: right here as you're, as you're butt winking, you're butt
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: winking to go out. You can't have that. Your below
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: back's bending right here. You're bending at the waist more
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: than your knees.
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: Uh-huh.
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: You're on a slant board. This is going to be

  Speaker 1: as easy as ever.

• 57:37
  Speaker 1: You're dropping little crumbs here and there. Yeah. You're just
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: slowly introducing her. She always wants to hang and do
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: the pull-up bar. She's all about the pull-up bar.
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: But she can do the pull-up bar.

• 57:52
  Speaker 1: But she can do that. I can get her going
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: on the row machine. She can pull it back. And
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: I'm like, you're elbowing somebody behind you. You don't want
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: to just sit there and pull the whole time. You
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: want to stand, and you want to elbow. Like you're
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: elbowing somebody behind you. You want to get them elbows back.
• 58:06

  Speaker 1: got to work on her form with squatting. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: We need to be engaging the right muscles here. If
• 58:15
  Speaker 3: we're not using the correct form, Rue, we're not engaging
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: the right muscles.
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 58:20
  Speaker 3: So we're kind of wasting not only your time, but

  Speaker 3: to go to the next hole. You got to kind
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 3: of figure this out. And then Scarlett just kind of
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 3: figured out that we would say yay when the ball
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 3: went in the hole. So she would just go to
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 3: the next hole and drop the golf ball into the
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 3: hole and turn and go, yay.
• 1:02:55

  Speaker 1: his face. He don't know, man. This guy don't know.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: One of them sound right. Yeah, Deke does it.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: I'm going to guess present tense.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 6: Oh, okay.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: That's my guess. Okay, that's our guess.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 3: Well, we just learned that his guess is truly as
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 3: good as mine. So we go to this place. We
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 3: have a phenomenal dinner. Coming back home to the two babysitters,
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 3: Alexis and Fahima were our babysitters. They had all the
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 3: kids on the sofa together with jammies on, dude. Come
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 3: in home to that. And the other, the little five-month-old
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 3: and the seven-month-old, I mean, they're in donuts. They're just
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 3: on the couch. But seeing Harris and Scarlett in their
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 3: jammies and they're kind of sitting next to each other
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 3: on the couch while they're reading to them. And we
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 3: come in and both of them, their heads pop up
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 3: over the sofa to see all the parents coming in.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 3: They're like, you know, start running towards the door and
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 3: Scarlett's just in her jammies, no socks on just, Ooh,
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 3: it was so fun, dude. And like to do it
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 3: and to know that it can be done and to
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 3: like open that up for future. Cause we used to
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 3: all do trips together as couples. And since, uh, Daniel
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 3: and Broughton had Harris, that's really slowed down. But now
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 3: we're at a spot where our kids are getting to
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 3: an age and we as parents are getting to a
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 3: spot where we're like, hey, we can do this now
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 3: as parents. Like we can do this like whole trip
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 3: thing together. So it was, dude, really fun weekend.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: That's the good stuff right there. Oh, yeah.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to think what else. There was one other
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 3: thing from that. Oh, a dad loss that turned into
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 3: a win. Jill grabbed the wrong diaper. bag and we
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 3: had one diaper for scarlet on that babysitter night and
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 3: we're like well let's let's just hope.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: For not a blowout.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 3: Blowout But parents know you got to switch and you
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 3: got to kind of figure it out. And so we're
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 3: borrowing diaper. We're borrowing outfit from their seven-month-old is so
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 3: big that it fit on Tiny Scarlet's 15-month-old body. which
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 3: blew my mind. That's how small Scarlett is in this
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 3: little boy onesie. But dude, it was a blast. It
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 3: was the good stuff. It was a really great weekend.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: We had a fun time.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 5: Let's go, man.

  Speaker 1: What's going through your brain, Will?
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: What happened?
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: The hell was that? Will's the dad that if you
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: did a big group Christmas, and Chef, we hire Chef
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: as the Santa for all the kids, and Chef comes
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: in and does either way too over the top on
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: Santa or not enough. Will's in the corner going, Chef,
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: what the fuck is that? Greg from Missouri.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: Welcome.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: Chef, you say ho, ho, ho, and you ask what
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: they want for Christmas. Just put them on your lap, man.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: You don't have to bring the reindeer. I don't need
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: a sleigh. Just come in, dude. Give them the toys. Hey, chef,
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: do your witch voice.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: I don't want to do the witch voice.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: Do your witch voice. Do the witch voice.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: Honestly, now I'm thinking. Oh, fuck, dude. I can't do it.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: Chef, if you were to.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: You can't put me on the spot or else then
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: I clam up.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: Do the witch voice.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: Give me a sentence to say.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: I'm going to put a spell on you.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: Fuck, dude. I'm getting so nervous. I can't do it. Oh, no!
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: Do the witch voice. Come on, you're reading the story
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: to Rue right now. Do the witch voice.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: Guys, I can't do it. I legitimately can't. I can't
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: even think of the voice right now. It's a great
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: witch voice.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 3: What if Will and myself do a witch voice really
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 3: quick to kind of, you know, ease them into it.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: We'll let Chef do the witch voice. Okay.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: Will should do his puppy voice from last year.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: Hey, the puppy voice was fantastic.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: That's a good puppy voice.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 3: Also, Chef, if you were to be hired, let's say
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 3: the Comptons did host a Christmas extravaganza at their house,
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 3: and you were to be hired, as the Santa Claus
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 3: for said event. Could we get a rendition of how
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 3: that might look?
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: A Santa.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd have to dial in the voice, but it
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 2: might be like a.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: Ho, ho, ho, ho!
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: Merry Christmas!
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: I like it!
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: I like it! See, I can get behind that.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: I just like... He literally did exactly what I thought
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: he'd do in the corner!
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: Little Willy, what would you like for Christmas? You've been
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 2: a good boy. A spaceship. Oh, a spaceship, you say?
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 2: Would you like, like, the Millennium Falcon? That's a good question, Santa.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, Santa, Santa, are reindeer real?
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 2: Sherman, of course they're real.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: Where are yours?
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: They're sleeping. Santa has to go on a trip across
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: the world to give toys to all the boys and girls.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: They need their rest. Hey, hey. That's pretty good. Why
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: do mommy and daddy sleep in separate beds?
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, no.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: Oh, Derek.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, Dick. My mommy and daddy to live with each other.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, no, Derek.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: They're probably tax purposes.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, they're just... They want you to have two Christmases.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, no. Oh, no. Hey, that was the curveball of
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: all curveballs, and you crushed it.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Thank you, guys.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: That was awesome. On to our second. So we love
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: the Elmo call-in. On to our second caller. What the
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: hell was that?
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 7: What's up, guys? This is Earl, first-time caller. But just
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 7: wanted to share my story. Lately, we went to a
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 7: Sharks game.
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 3: San Jose Sharks.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 7: Kids' first hockey game. I got a six-year-old boy.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: And he loved it.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 7: And we've been playing hockey for a year now. He's
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 7: kind of into it, kind of not. But ever since
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 7: that game, when I get home from work, We play
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 7: mini sticks every single day. He goes to my room.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 7: He picks out a jersey for me. He grabs one
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 7: of his jerseys. It's gotten to the point now where
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 7: I take the karaoke machine. I'll put some music on.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 7: I announce him. He runs into the garage. Gets all
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 7: pumped up. We play two games every night. And it's
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 7: been awesome. So... It kind of makes me realize, makes
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 7: everyone realize, got to just make it fun for him.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 7: Maybe practice isn't fun. I know it's not fun, but
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 7: making something fun for him, he's gotten even better at
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 7: stick handling. He's shooting backhand now. So just another win
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 7: for the dads, okay? Many sticks every night. Let's go, boys.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: That's the good stuff, man. That's one of my favorite
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: dad wins that we've had in quite a while. Shout
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: out Earl. What a name.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 3: The image of, and just knowing how excited that kid
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 3: is when dad gets home, how he is counting down
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 3: the seconds for his dad to pull into the driveway
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 3: so he can go pick out the jersey and play
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 3: mini stick.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: And just the warmth that he probably feels in his
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: heart knowing he's coming home and his boy's excited. Like, oh,
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: I'm going to announce his name. I sent a really
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: good video to you, Deke.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 5: Oh, man.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 3: There's a video that we'll probably put out on socials
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 3: later this week of a dad that's announcing his daughter
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 3: coming down the stairs.
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: Have you seen it? Is it the Chicago Bulls song? No,
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: we posted that one, though. Okay, yeah, that's another banger.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: That's a banger.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 3: This dad's, you know, doing the, you know, standing at
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 3: three foot, blah, blah, blah. And while he's mid-announcing her,
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 3: the daughter just goes... no, dad, dad, sing Barbie girl.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 3: And so he just starts a beat on the wall and.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: Goes, I'm a Barbie girl in a Barbie world. And
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: she just starts coming down the stairs, like strutting like that, dude.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: It's phenomenal. Phenomenal. Um, Ooh, son's first bully. Do we
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: want to, okay, here we go. What's up, dude?
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 5: Hello, dad. Uh, Dad of four boys, ages six, four, three,
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 5: and about to be seven months. Oh, wow. Been at
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 5: it for a minute, but still getting the hang of
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 5: things like we all are.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: Boys, I got a dilemma.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 5: My four-year-old is in preschool playing flag football, the sweetest
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 5: kid ever. Like, such a good kid, bubbly, a light
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 5: to everybody that he sees. And we are dealing with
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 5: our first bully. So much to where, like, the teachers
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 5: at the preschool texted my wife about the incident that happened.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 5: And my son's been nothing but nice to the kid.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 5: And I coach his football team. The kid, the said bully,
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 5: is on the football team. They actually go up against
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 5: each other one-on-one a lot. Luckily, at first the bully
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 5: gets the better of him, but over the season my
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 5: son's improved and puts his ass down now.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: I'm loving it.
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 5: But nonetheless, we're still dealing with a bully problem. So
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 5: advice here, like I want to go to the dad,
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 5: but I feel like the dad is just going to
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 5: brush it off and be like, Boys are boys.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: No, like, your kid's an asshole. We need to address this.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 5: Because the mom, my wife talked to the mom, and
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 5: the mom turned it around saying that I'm too... hard
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 5: on her son at practice look around lady I'm hard
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 5: on all the kids at practice that's why we're undefeated
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 5: getting ready to win.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: A championship golly.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 5: But I'm no harder on your kids than anybody else
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 5: I'm damn sure I'm not bullying a four year old
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 5: as a 34 year old man um But boys, any advice,
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 5: any tips you got?
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: Okay. Right now. Right now. It's okay. Yeah, we got
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: the gist. Man, I don't know. I don't know either. Like,
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: I think about that. It's like, my Rue's such a sweetheart.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: Anytime I sense that a kid could be being mean
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: to her or anything else, like, my heart just breaks
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: because you hate to watch it go down.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: Knowing, like, you know your kid. You know how, like,
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: sweet they are and everything else. And you feel just bad.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: You know, it's like this natural cycle that takes place. Yeah.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know until I will be in that situation.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like, I don't even know
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: what my game plan would be. I know this. If
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: moms talked, you already know that mom's pillow talking at
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: home with dad. I was, dude, thank you. Dad's aware.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 2: Dad's aware.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: Dad knows. Now, what you do have is progress as
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: far as winning in the A-gap. You know what I mean? Like,
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: you do like to see that. I guess I would ask,
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: is his son aware that he's getting bullied? Yeah, he
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: didn't even bring that part up. I don't know, man.
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: I wish, like, I don't have the boy yet. I
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: don't have the circumstance with my daughter yet. We are only—
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know what it looks like, the bullying. I
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: don't know what the phone call was, like what happened
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: at school. Yeah.
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 3: What I would say is I was bullied super bad
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 3: from first to third grade to where I actually moved
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 3: schools to a big public school, Aledo. And that really
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 3: fixed the problem. But I think if I were to
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 3: give my parents advice of my situation looking back on
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 3: it now, I think we can only control what we
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 3: can control. We can't go into somebody else's house and
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 3: teach them how to parent their kid. We can only
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 3: control how our kid reacts to said bullying. If our
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 3: kid's melting down, going into tears, blah, blah, blah, he
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 3: is feeding the bullying. We need to build our kid
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 3: up to be resistant of the bullying and so that
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 3: he knows how to deal with it. Cause it's going
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 3: to happen in the future. I mean, that's just, that's
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 3: a part of life.
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 3: And no part of us is going to be able
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 3: to change that kid's outlook. I think, um, I mean,
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 3: there's like ways that you can get your kids out
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 3: of situations to where they're not being bullied. Uh, moving
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 3: schools ended up being like the best thing ever for me.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 3: Cause it gave me a fresh start, but it also
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 3: a brand new playbook going into that school of like,
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 3: Don't do these things because that will cause more bullying.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: Does that make sense? I don't think he needs to
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: change schools. That's very dramatic.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 3: And it was a kind of a dramatic like bullying situation.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: He's probably thinking how you have those conversations with your
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: four year old.
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 2: That's what I would.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: It's like my instinct is talking to my son about, hey,
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: here's how you're going to handle bullying. And what I'm
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: thinking in my brain, there's two options. It's like there's
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: a conversation that I would almost want to have that
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: doesn't include mom hearing me what I'm about to tell you.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: And then also when it's like, I know I can't
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: do this with mom out of the conversation. To where
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: I want to teach him to, whether it's fight back
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: or something, but he's four so he doesn't know that
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: yeah something could be playful and hey this is what
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: dad told me to do if this happens yeah dude
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: and then i'm the one feeding him hey if this
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: happens here's how you gotta here's how you gotta go
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: up against the.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 2: Bully yes what's the uh movie where he gives a
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 2: american sniper in the beginning where chris kyle they're like
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 2: the sheep the shepherd and the sheep dog or whatever
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 2: it is and he tells the sons like be the
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 2: sheep dog like you don't attack but if someone comes
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 2: at you you it was a kind of probably not
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 2: that mean, but my mind immediately goes.
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: Right, right, right. But now then you're leaning into that
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: aspect of you put your hands on them. Yeah. But
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: then I'm saying that it's like, I'm.
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 4: Just saying we're all agreeing with Ryan Tamales right now.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 4: I just want to say we're all kind of agreeing
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 4: with Ryan Tamales at the top of the show.
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 1: This is true right over over this is true i'm
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: just saying well we're getting close full circle i know
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: i'm not trying to say you go and put your
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: hands on him but it's almost like buddy you're going
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: to feel because i don't know if the kid knows
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: he's getting bullied but if he knows and there's fear
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: like i'm not going to be there next to you
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: you're going to have fear yeah yeah like being brave
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: is is being scared and doing it anyway like if
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: you're going to stand up and he's going to stop
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: bullying you in that moment of fear of reacting, if
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: you fully know that you're getting bullied in that moment
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: of fear, you're just, it's going to be you and
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: yourself being like, I got to stand up to this dude. Yeah.
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: Like you got to do something. And that's, that's, that's
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: going into the, the, the physical nature. My, if I'm
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: just speaking for myself.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 3: As far as like being a, Will, I think you're
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 3: on the exact right track. And that's exactly what I
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 3: was talking about, like building your kid up. Like we
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 3: can only control that. I think that that's what I
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 3: would tell my parents of like, I wish there had
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 3: been more conversations like the one you're saying to me
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 3: of like giving me a tool belt and allowing me
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 3: to know the difference between a sheepdog and a wolf.
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 3: And not becoming the bully yourself.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: Right. Being able to be smart.
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 3: We respect everybody. We respect everybody. But if somebody is
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 3: being disrespectful to you and has gotten to that level,
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 3: this is how we handle that. Those are good conversations
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 3: to have.
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 3: I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I'm not
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 3: sitting here wincing and going like, oh, dude, we're on
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 3: a dad podcast.
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 1: Don't say that. I'm in agreement.
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 4: Was there a conversation probably, gosh, eight months ago, you
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 4: talked about Rue at the park. There was a boy
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 4: that was picking on her. And we joked about turning
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 4: the headlights on, meeting that dad in the A-gap. Did
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 4: you have a conversation with Rue at all around there
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 4: about what bullying looks like? Because I'm curious about how
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 4: the conversation of like, this is what bullying, you're introducing
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 4: a thing that's brand new, but they understand.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: Right. It's more like I feel it's in a way
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: of like introducing the concept of bullying. And hey, if
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: somebody is making you uncomfortable, you let them know that
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: they're making you uncomfortable.
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: And then if they continue to do it, the spot
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: that you're in, if there's a grown up around or
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: a teacher around, you go to that teacher and let
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: them know this dude, whoever, whatever's going on is doing
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: something that you're not liking. Yeah. Now, if this kid's
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: in these bullies, bullying situations to where there's not necessarily
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: people around all the time or you're in some controlled environment,
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: like you got to let You got to let the
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: young man know, hey, you're doing something that you're not liking.
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: That's making you uncomfortable. If it continues to go down
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: that route, we'll then talk about how you need to
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: handle it. Because you're letting people know what your boundaries are. Hey,
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: you keep picking on me. You're about to find out.
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: And you might go and get your ass whooped. But
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: you're going to be somebody who continues to go back
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: in the fight. Because I promise you, they're not going
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: to want to mess with you all the time. You
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: know what I mean?
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 3: If you're giving the licks back, that's not fun. if
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 3: you're crumbling down and crying.
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: And he knows he's got the power dynamic over you.
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: So he's treating you how he wants to treat you.
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: Cause you're allowing him to, if you let him know
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: the shit ain't going to continue to happen. And again,
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: they're four. So having that Rolodex of conversation, that's where
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: it's like, Hey, I don't like what's happening. You need
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: to stop doing it. If they keep doing it and
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: there's a parent around and there's a teacher around, you
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 1: got to go let them know, hey, they're doing something
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 1: that I'm not liking right now.
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 3: But those foundation stones at four does lead to when
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 3: it's nine years old and then it's really.
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: Becoming an issue. And then it becomes in my instinctual
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 1: brain of just the dynamics of fucking nature. There's going
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: to be a time where, hey, you can't go to
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: the teacher all the time.
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: You're going to have to let him know that he's
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: crossing the line and he's got to stop crossing the line. Yeah.
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: And we got to figure out how you're going to
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: handle it if he continues to cross the line. Yeah.
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: Because you can't run and do the tattle thing. There's
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: a social dynamic that starts to enter the equation.
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: And I could be spouting some stuff off to where
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: it's like making people feel like, oh, I don't know
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: if you should, you know. I haven't like talked through
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: all this stuff with my wife. You're cooking in my book.
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: You're cooking in my book. But there's going to be
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: a time and place where you're going to have to
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: handle it in a different manner. Not like a sneak
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: manner or anything else, but you're going to have to
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: get in Buddy's face and you're going to have to
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: face your fear of standing up to this bully. And
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: he might get you, but you're going to keep doing
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: it over and over and over because it'll callous you.
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 1: It will. And it will, like you said, that muscle
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: of bravery.
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 3: And I jokingly sent that quote from Ned Stark about
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 3: that's the only time you can be brave is when
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 3: you're afraid. But it is such a great quote because
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 3: it is a, with fight or flight instinct, like, Those
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 3: two things, if you're too far on either one of them,
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 3: can be very bad. We got to find that middle
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 3: ground of having enough fight and enough bravery when we're
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 3: in a fearful situation to stand up for ourselves so
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 3: that then that respect is gained through, hey, they that
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 3: guy's not gonna just like lay down and take it
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 3: like he's gonna get up there.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 2: That's such a big thing with boys too i don't
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 2: know how it goes for girls but growing up it's
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 2: like hey if someone's giving you shit especially when you
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 2: get older i don't know like four four makes it
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 2: tough i i don't even know what i don't even
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 2: know what you say.
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: I'm feeling uncomfortable or i'm feeling like something's happening that
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: we don't want to happen right now And you introduced
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 1: the dynamic of, like, you have to, like, let somebody know. Yeah. Like,
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: I was giving them the toolbox there, but as they
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 1: get older.
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 2: It's... Yeah, it's the opposite, where it's like, you got
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 2: to go... You know, if it gets bad, bad, then
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 2: you got to talk to someone. But if not, you
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 2: got to go handle it. And you said the right thing. Like,
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 2: if someone knows, even if they kick your ass, they
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 2: know that, hey, you're going to still show up. People
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 2: respect that. Like, I feel like at the end of
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 2: the day, like, even if they kick your ass, they're like,
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 2: oh shit, this guy's going to fight me every time.
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 2: Not saying he's going to, you know, every time I
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 2: say something to him, I know he's going to say
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 2: something back or something's going to altercate and then they
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 2: will leave you alone. That is like the quickest way
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 2: to nip it in the bud. Yeah.
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 3: It's also, I guess the one thing that I could
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 3: really stand on and like stick a flagpole in as
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 3: a co-host on a dad podcast. So I would say
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 3: seven times out of 10, talking to the parents is
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 3: maybe the worst thing you could do and will not
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 3: solve it. Because you are ultimately just telling them, hey,
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 3: your kid's the problem. Insofacto, you're the problem. We're not
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 3: the problem. You know what I mean?
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It obviously depends on the situation because if that
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: conversation between the moms is collaborative.
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 1: It's one thing. But once you get the sense of, oh, okay,
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 1: your husband's kind of coaching my boy a little hard.
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 1: And then you know the pillow talking is going on
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: on both ends. Yeah. That's where it's, but if it's
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 1: collaborative and everybody's kind of aware, it's like if Rue
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 1: was bullying somebody and a parent came up to me,
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 1: it's almost like I would, my mom was always with
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 1: this thing. So you saw Coach Eck, New Mexico State,
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: hearing the referees talk and then he goes right after
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 1: the kid. My mom was always somebody who sided with
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 1: the teachers or the teacher's word over mine because it's like, okay,
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: if this is what's happening. Good mom. Yeah. You know
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 1: what I mean? To where I knew if my kid
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: was being the bully. and I could get on board
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: with whatever's being said to me, I would very much
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: be addressing Rue on how to handle the situation.
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 2: Agreed.
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 1: Versus like, oh, you guys are kind of being mean
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 1: or blah, blah, blah. It's like fully getting into the
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: shoes of, Rue's got a couple tendencies at home to
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: where I'm not surprised I'm hearing this right now. Yeah.
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 2: Like, I've seen that before in my daughter. Yeah.
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 1: And like, I'll hear you out on this. And yeah, absolutely. Like,
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 1: if Scottie was that way when she gets older, because
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: she's a little Scottzilla right now. It's like, I hear you.
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: Trust me, we'll get it handled. We'll nip that.
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, we'll nip that.
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 3: And it's a, I mean, that was even something when
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 3: Scarlett got bit at the daycare. That was my very
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 3: first question to the daycare is what was Scarlett doing?
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 3: Because I want to make sure, because I know Scarlett's
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 3: swatting a bit at home. Is she up in people's
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 3: faces swatting? I know we're talking about 15 month olds.
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But my brain's already on that. You got to
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: let her ass know at home. The hell you doing, man?
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: Here's why you got bit.
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 2: Here's why.
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: And guess what? You're bit for the rest of your life. Yeah.
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 1: Good calling. Good conversation. Good conversation. As boys, we know
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: the game. We know the game as we get older. Yeah.
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: The telling all the teacher and authority figure, you get
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 1: in trouble. It's like, oh, shit, I'm in trouble. Let
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 1: me stop that. As you get older, because, oh, you're
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: going to the teacher now. You need your teacher to
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: fight your battles or you need your parents to fight
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: your battles. That's how the dynamic shifts to where something else,
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 1: a different course of action has to be taken.
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Make some good friends, too.
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 4: Tell that kid, make some tough friends.
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 2: Make some tough friends.
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, that's, dude, that's... That was my best feature,
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 1: was I made friends with big guys. Yeah. Like, we
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 1: wrestled at a young age, so I was just never
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: really in that pocket. Like, I was always a pretty solid, like,
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 1: kid and friend and shit like that, to where I
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: didn't necessarily bully. But it's like, I would have an
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 1: insecurity of, like, feeling like if I'm getting bullied, but
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 1: I could also handle myself in situations because nobody wanted
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 1: to wrestle the wrestlers.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 1: You know, like me and Cody were 18 months apart.
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 1: Like we were one year apart. Like it was, you
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 1: were getting a tag team. Yeah. You know what I mean?
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 1: If somebody's like picking on either one of us. Don't
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 1: mess with the Comptons. Cody was like, he got six
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 1: in the nation at six years old. Yeah. Imagine bullying. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 1: You ain't getting away with bullying Cody. Come here.
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 2: Let me show you something.
• 1:33:08

  Speaker 1: So we have an empty sicko here.
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 3: I fully embrace the lifestyle, which apparently now includes purchasing
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 3: podcast merch for my husband's birthday and repurposing it as
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 3: infant development equipment. A little context. We have two boys
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 3: who are 51 weeks apart. Yes, 51 weeks. That is
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 3: what they call Irish twins, everyone.
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 2: Goodness.
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 3: They're currently 15 months old and three months old, which
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 3: means our house is basically a live action episode of Survivor,
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 3: the infant and toddler years. We also have three-year-old golden
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 3: doodle named Rosie, who is somehow both another child and
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 3: the only member of this household who gets enough sleep. Anyways,
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 3: the other night we were in the trenches of the
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 3: unpredictable 5 to 8 p.m.
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 2: Shift.
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: You know the one. Everyone is tired. Everyone needs something.
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 3: And somehow it takes two adults, approximately 47 pieces of
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 3: baby equipment, and a small miracle just to get through bedtime.
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 3: We were doing tummy time with our three-month-old when we
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 3: realized we needed a high-contrast object to keep him entertained. Naturally,
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 3: like any well-prepared household, we reached for the For the
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 3: Dads hat that was previously part of my husband's post-workout
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 3: ensemble for the 5 to 8 p.m.
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 7: Shift.
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 1: And honestly, it worked.
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 3: The hat went from a birthday gift to infant enrichment
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 3: equipment in approximately three seconds. Our youngest was locked in.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 3: Our oldest was doing toddler things in the background. Rosie
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 3: was present for the chaos. My husband was laughing, and
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 3: I was standing there thinking, I cannot believe I spent
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 3: money on this hat, and it's now contributing more to
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 3: our childcare operations than most of the toys we own.
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 3: I've attached the photographic evidence of the operation, including our
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 3: baby studying the hat like it's going to explain why
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 3: he has to do tummy time. and the wider family scene,
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 3: which I believe accurately captures the current state of our household.
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 3: So boys, I have two questions. Does this officially qualify
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 3: our family for some kind of For the Dad sponsorship?
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 2: We can discuss.
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll look into it. We'll look into it.
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 3: Can I write the hat off as a childcare expense
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 3: now that it's a developmental tool? Asking as a proud
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 3: Milk Team 6 member and the person who funded the operation.
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 2: We will also look into that.
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 1: We will look into both of those things.
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 3: We can talk to our CFO, who is former CPA.
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 3: He could give us some insight on that.
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he could give us some insight. Maybe we get
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 1: him one of these. Ooh, we could get him one
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 1: of those. That action ribbon. I mean, two under 15 months. Oh, buddy.
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 1: You got some Irish twins, man. D's and P's.
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 3: We need to get a little mom action ribbon.
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That'd be a fun one. That's the one in
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 1: the real battle.
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 2: That'd be a fun one.
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 1: Mom's in the real battle.
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 3: My husband would absolutely lose his mind if you gave
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 3: him a shout out. I would, of course, take full
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 3: credit for making this happen since I'm the one submitting
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 3: the email and the one who bought the hat in
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 3: the first place. Keep up the great work. I'm a
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 3: newer listener, but I'm beginning to understand why my husband
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 3: is such a big fan. And on a more serious note,
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 3: congrats to the boy parents-to-be, Will and Charo. Boy parenting
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 3: is no joke. but we wouldn't trade it for the world. Additionally,
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 3: thank you for using your platform to discuss infertility issues.
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 3: What we have learned through our own struggles is that
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 3: infertility is way more common than you would expect, and
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 3: you truly don't know until you're in it. Sincerely, a
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 3: proud Milk Team 6 member. wife of an avid PT Sixer,
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 3: mother of Irish twins, and the woman who accidentally turned
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 3: her husband's birthday present into a piece of essential baby.
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 1: Equipment, P.S.
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 3: Rosie would also like to be considered for the sponsorship.
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 3: She has been providing unpaid emotional support throughout, that's their
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 3: golden doodle, throughout the entire operation and believes she deserves compensation.
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 3: She's also wondering if we are bringing another skin puppy
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 3: home in July 27th. like the last two Julys. But
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 3: of course, hoping we wait a little longer than 12
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 3: months for skin puppy number three, best the diamonds, Alex, mom, Trevor,
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 3: shout out Trevor, so he gets his shout out, Barrett,
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 3: 15 months, Sawyer, three months, and Rosie, three-year-old pup. And
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 3: that is a true Milk Team 6 write-in. It felt
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 3: very Christmas card with the breakdown of All the names
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 3: and ages.
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 3: She was kind of running her own soda right there
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 3: and there. That was very well done. Very well done.
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 3: Alex Diamond, everyone.
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 1: Shout out to Diamond family. Look at them.
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 1: I love the backwards. Yeah, the backwards.
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 2: That's probably one of my favorite hats. Golly.
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 1: Put it in the Hall of Fame, man.
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 2: Put it in the Hall of Fame. What do you have,
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 2: Willie C?
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 1: I have something lesson-esque, kind of a write-in of perspective
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 1: from Greg Barber via email. First night in the big
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 1: boy bed. Boys, this is Greg from Massachusetts. I'm writing
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 1: this with a tear rolling down my cheek. Tonight is
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 1: the first night I'm putting my boy to sleep in
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 1: his own room in his own bed. He was a
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 1: terrible sleeper when he was younger and has co-slept with
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 1: my wife and I since he was five months old.
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: He is now two years and three months and we
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 1: are expecting our second December. I made the executive decision
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: to pull off the bandaid and transition him into his
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 1: big boy bed starting this weekend. I always thought I
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: would be excited for the day I'd get my bed
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 1: back all alone with wifey, but I'm actually kind of sad.
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 1: Sleeping in our bed is all he has memories of,
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: and even though he seemed excited to sleep in his
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 1: own bed, he was also scared and did not want
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 1: to turn the lights off. I assured him that everything
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 1: would be okay and that I was laying right next
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 1: to him, and we're going to go through this change together.
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 1: We said a prayer to ask for a safe and
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 1: comfortable night's sleep in his new bed, And now he's
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 1: passed out like nothing in his world has changed. I
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 1: say that to say you really don't know when the
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 1: last time something will happen, so enjoy every moment. PT6 out.
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 1: That's a great write-in, dude. It was with the stack here.
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 1: I thought that was a good lesson-esque email to have
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 1: at the end of the show for perspective on you
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 1: never know when the last time something will happen. Rue's
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 1: getting heavier, man. She still likes to add a hole
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 1: in her. But Rue's getting heavier. When I got to
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 1: do the dryer with her big ass, bro, because I
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: do it with Scotty, it is just, I'm exhausted by
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 1: the time I get to the couch and put her down.
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 1: I'm like, sweetheart, we got to dry you off. You're heavy, bro.
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 3: Those pickups, though, will transition into the later years. Those
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 3: will turn into celebration-type hugs.
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: Where you're twirling around. You know what I mean?
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 3: It will still be there, but I know what you mean, dude.
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 3: I don't from the weight. But golly, that's going to
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 3: hurt when that day comes.
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 1: Getting to do two sleepovers in a row, too, with
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 1: mom out of town. Like, she's so fired up to
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 1: go climb in bed with dad. And how old for
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 1: when Scott Zilla joins in on those sleepovers?
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 1: I was thinking about going both of them for a sleepover.
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 1: I just didn't pull the trigger.
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 1: I forget how old Rue was. Rue was two, for sure,
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 1: when we started to do sleepovers. But I was always
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 1: so excited when we got to do our first one
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 1: with Rue. Like, when can we get her in the bed? Like,
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 1: it'll be so fun. Because they kick and move and
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 1: do all this stuff. Bothers mom way more than it
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 1: does me. Uh-huh. The little jommies, man. I can't get
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 1: over the jommies. Yeah. I can't wait for little Scottzilla
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 1: to do it first.
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 3: She's going to, I already know she's kicking when she's sleeping.
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah. She's starting to, she's getting so talkative. But she'll
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 1: be like, Dad, Dad, stop. That's enough. She'll point too.
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 2: She'll say, that's enough?
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That's enough. And it's the funniest thing. Oh, my gosh.
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 3: We got to interact with the kids because I feel like,
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 3: how long has it been since we've done our daughters together?
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 1: It's been a while. Probably since that time you were
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 1: over at the house and Scarlett and Scotty was hanging out.
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh.
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 1: And Scotty was trying to teach her how to sit
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 1: up and crawl. Yes. Scarlett's probably at the age that
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 1: Scotty was.
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Right?
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Like 15, 16 months. Well, we'll have to get
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 1: them rocking again. God. But Scott Zillow, she's... Dude, I
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 1: watched her over the weekend. We were up in the playroom.
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 1: And she kind of nipped her head on the easel
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 1: because she just wanted to do coloring. No, yeah, yeah.
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 1: Went down to pick something up and nipped her head
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 1: on the easel. And I didn't react. I didn't do anything.
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 1: I was kind of just watching her because she didn't
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 1: know that I saw. She didn't look up at me
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 1: or nothing. She hit her head, went down to pick
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 1: up the marker, put the marker on the easel, and
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 1: then went over by herself and just. She just puts
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 1: her head down. She just gets really sad when either
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 1: you correct her on something or she kind of hurts herself.
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 1: She just does it. She'll just go find an armrest
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 1: or something. She's eating the pain in that moment. Yeah.
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 2: She's the toughest critic.
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 1: She's eating the pain. She's got me, bro. I mean,
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 1: every time I'm like, oh, Scotty, what's wrong, sweetheart? She'll
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 1: come up with a bigger head in my... In my shoulder.
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 1: Now I'm starting to get to a point where I'm like, hey,
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 1: we're chin up. You got to keep your head up.
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 2: Come on, kiddo.
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 1: Because she'll just get down on herself about damn near anything.
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 1: If something happens, you can't get her to move her butt.
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 1: I was about to say, you're probably laughing whenever it happens. Yeah,
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 1: every time. Stand up, man. Come on, man.
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 2: What you doing?
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 3: I have a lesson of the week, but I feel
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 3: like that was a good one to end on. I
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 3: can punt this one for next week.
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 1: Let's punt. Let's punt.
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 2: Let's punt. Happy Halloween.
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 1: Happy Halloween. Go trick-or-treating. Enjoy the moments with the kiddos
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 1: when you're on the Halloween. Take out the trash. We shall.
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 2: Take out the trash.
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 1: See you next week. And give that candy fairy some
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 1: of your candy. Great data.
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 2: Good data.
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
