  Speaker 3: kJ has got a play in my twenty twenty six playbooks.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I was.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I was elated, but all to say, the community is
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: why we do this thing. The community is why is
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: why we're showing up. Because I was hitting the boys up,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: I was like, hey, fellas, there's really no full obligation,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Like we don't have to do an episode this week
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: how's everybody feeling. I don't feel like I should come
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: in like I'm not sick. I don't feel sick. I
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: feel great, But I don't really know the proper etiquette
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: for everybody else. Like I know guys in the shop,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: they have families, Like I'm like a carrier, I guess,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: so to speak. I don't want to come in the
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: week of Christmas. It feels any other week I would
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: be in there, but the week of Christmas if somebody
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: were to get taken down right before they start their
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: travel planes, I would feel like hell because I know
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: it was coming from me bringing it in the shop.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: So there's a part of us we were kind of
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: doubtful with doing the episode this week.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: There was some back and forth via our group text
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: and Will and I had some phone calls as far
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: as how do we go about this, because we knew
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: the SI goes, it's Christmas time, it's the holidays, and
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: maybe viewership across the board around the holidays for any
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: type of media other than movies with your family, it's
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: probably going down a little bit as far as digital
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: media goes. But we know that if the Sickos want
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: the Christmas episode the sicko's gotta have the Christmas episode.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: That was the message from I feel like everybody on
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: the team from.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: The Gain in this moment, specifically, this episode screams authenticity.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: This is fatherhood right here.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Like we usually record whether the last couple of weeks,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: it's been like Sunday night just because I'll jampacked the
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: schedule's been. But usually we kind of identify like a
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: night time if we can't do Friday during the day.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: And again I was out last week because we were
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: doing Christmas in New York, which I can't wait to
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: talk about Christmas in New York.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: I think we need to start the sode with we.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Will and also any for parents out there, I'm not
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: imagining your kids sit there and watch with you, but
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: we get into Sana talk, so just beware that there
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: will be some Sana talk on this episode.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: But again, we were looking to do Sunday night.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: I call up Sharing our up the Boy, hit up

• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Like can we do it Tuesday morning? And then I

  Speaker 1: I'm still up in there if I'm even going to come.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: By and do that.

• 13:34
  Speaker 1: where all the stuff. I'll just fly through, Chris. New
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: York was a blast. The highs were highs. The low
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: moments were low moments. Every parent, every family knows that
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: when you're having those low moments with your young ones
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: in a hotel room, or in a store, or at
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: a restaurant or in the airport wherever it might be,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: like those moments, you're kind of just sitting out. We
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: could just be home right now, but we got to
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: be out here. Yeah, we got to be out here
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: doing the hotel thing. We got out here doing the
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: vacation thing. Just push through it. But here's where the
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: good mentality comes in. So I have here, let's think care.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Let's start from the top. So wife wants to do
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Christmas in the middle of primetime football when I have
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: a gig that demands me to watch football. Also, let's
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: do it. Good, we land in New York. We want
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: to go out early. But let's land in New York.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Only to land in New York drop the boys off
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: at their hotel. We're six miles away from our hotel,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: so we got to sit in traffic for another ninety minutes.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: Good good, good.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Guess what sure crib wasn't in the room when we
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: got there.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: Half that's perfect.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Perfect.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Have to wait another forty five minutes until we get
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: the crib in the room. It's already in our past bedtime.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: Good good. You just you get some extra FaceTime with
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: the bell Hop when they come.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Wait.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Wait, let's throws.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Drassic Park, the animated version, Like, let's try to figure
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: out dinner.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Let's do all these.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Things until we get the crib in the bedroom, be
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Causecatti is over, she's over tired. Now we brought the
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: double stroller. We brought our double st I think it's
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: a great move. But the double stroller barely fits through
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: the doors as we walk all over.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: New York because the entire city was built in eight
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: seventeen hundreds. Eighteen hundreds, good.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Good, I love having jamming it jeering, and then like,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: let me move in sideways.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: All right, I got it. Nobody touched me. Don't hold
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: the door. I got the door.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Then you get to the nighttime, and you know, one
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: of the knights we were there, char wanted to take
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Rude to see the rock cats. Rue is fired up
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: about the rockets. I hear the Rockets is an unbelievable show.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: So I tell my wife, hey, you take Rude, do
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: a mommy daughter thing. I'll stay back with Scottie and
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: let's got to get a nap, because again, when you're travel,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: when you're not moving, you gotta kind of fine times
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: to do nap, like they never go according to structure
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: routine like nap where you can, of course, So my
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: wife takes rid of the rockets. Dad was supposed to
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: be at a restaurant with the table ready when they
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: got out.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: Oh, Will, why didn't you do that?
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Dad forgets He's in New York and most plays this
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: are so pat So we have to wait another amount
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: of time when we're already getting past bedtime.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: My wife is staring through me while we have to wait,
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: and I'm.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: Just thinking, my good good.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: You're a shitty father. Will you are a shitty father? Hey?
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: That is on me. I messed that up, and I
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: knew I messed it up.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: She kind of alluded to me, Hey, when we get done,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: we can go find a spot to go do dinner
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: and then like an hour before or like around the
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: time they left, She's like, if you want to, you
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: could go to a restaurant before and then get a
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: table and then we can meet you there. So that
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: right there, man, we talked about it a week or
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: two ago. That type of like they're alluding to something.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: They're not saying, hey, do this, They're saying, hey, if
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: you want to, So then once I read if you
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: want to, I'm thinking, okay, all this is all this
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: is in my control, Like, this is my decision if
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: I want to wait or not I'm thinking, Okay, I
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: want to get a little extra time, kick the feet up,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: lay on the bed while Scottie takes a nap. But
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: what your wife wants you to do in those situations
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: is not say think, hey, if you want to, and
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: you think I don't want to, so let's not do this.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: But you can't think that way, can I? When they
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: say if you want to, they're saying, hey, do this there. Hey,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: this is this is how you this is how you
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: over delivered.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: They're saying, hey, I want you to know that everything
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: in your body wants to do this and should convey
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: that everything in your body wants to go get that
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: Rezi and wants to go hold that table down. Why

• 21:07
  Speaker 1: And as I'm like putting the stroller, I'm trying to
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: feel out char and I'm thinking to myself. I'm thinking
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: in my head, like, are we really walking to this
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: to the back of this long ass line, and we're
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: just gonna wait to get in this toy store?
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: Like it looks like chaos in there.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: It looks like anarchy inside that store because it is
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Christmas time.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: Kids are going nuts. I got this double stroller where
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: we're gonna put the stroller, Like he said, I just

  Speaker 2: You are we gonna turn? Are we you know, a
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: port mission, like.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Let's figure out a pivot here, and we kind of
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: mosey to the end of the line. We just stand
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: in there and I look and I'm like, so it
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: looks like we're standing in the line. Looks like we're
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: waiting to get in this toy store. She's like, Oh,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: we can just do it for a few minutes. How
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: long how fast it goes? Line does move quicker, but
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: it's still like I'm timing it on my watch, Like
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: I just right there. I'm like, okay, I'm going to

  Speaker 1: is all time, by the way, like big time a
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: plus move by her, because we're capturing like all these moments,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: like Charlie we went.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: They ice skated.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Charlie Ice skated while I was holding Scotty and kind
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: of walking around with Scottie and it was sick, dude, Like,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: I'll have to show you these pictures to where it's
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: the ice skating like Home Alone, all a lot of
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: spots on Home Alone too.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you were at because it was around Central Park.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: So the ice skating that happens in Central Park, the
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: backdrop is incredible. We went and saw the Rockefeller Christmas
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Tree again. We were at the toy store, seeing Roue
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: light up at the toy store, having to negotiate with
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: her that hey, we can talk to Saan about the
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: possibility of this toy, like you can't get this toy
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Ended up walking out of the toy store with some
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: magic markers.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Because the guy was just wowing everybody with these magic markers.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: It was fun though again the highs were highs and
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: all those good moments that I alluded to. You could
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: just every parent knows those moments where you get back
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: from a trip and you're trying to tell your boy,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: You're trying to tell everybody like, hey, it was fun,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: and they kind of see the chaos that ensued in
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: your eyes.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Because there was chaos.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: But then again, when you pull yourself out of it,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: you're just like yo, you're literally trying to build some
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: of these memories and foundations now because one time I'm in.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: There, we were at breakfast Scott or Row. I can't remember.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Somebody was causing chaos and we're both kind of the
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: little drained at this point. Intro just mentions like hey,
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Christmas time, like this is the chaos we want. This
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: is the chaos that we have to embrace and look
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: forward to, because this is basically what it's going to
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: be like forever, especially when you're trying to make memories
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: and do all of these things and doing things out
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: of your ordinary routine or chaos kind of hits the fan.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: But it was good dude again, up and down, up
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: and down.
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: You know, will if it makes you feel any better.
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: My dad just sent a picture to me and my
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: brother like two weeks ago of like a seven years
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: ago or eight years ago, and its meing my dad
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: and brother in New York City and something like that.
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: He's like, hey, I always remember this trip, so you know,
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: for all the chaos that ensues, hopefully that's the end goal, right,
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: That's what do.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: One hundred percent like again watching Rue and Charo uh
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: do the ice skating. We're riding on the carriage where
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: you know, a horse is taking us around Central Park.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Rue's having a blast, We're having fun, we're taking self heause,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: we're doing all things like this is going to be
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: an insanely memorable trip. Who knows if I ever go
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: back because of what this place did to my family
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: the moment we got back. We got back Saturday, and
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Rue got hit with the fever Saturday night.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: And then, as you know, I'm sitting.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Here podcasting right now, barricaded in this back office and
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: well everybody else that's out there in the little six zone.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: That's crazy that she contracted that so quickly coming back
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: to Nashville. There's no way. I don't think she would
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: get that at New York. That's the part that doesn't
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: make sense for me. The second thing I'll say in
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: regards to last week, I really did. I loved the
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: thing that you read off of Instagram of Uh, you know,
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: we're eighty years old now and my husband grabs my
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: wrinkled hand and says, honey, what do you want for
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: Christmas this year? And Will just saying, oh, I don't know,
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: another one last trip to New York City.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we love another.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: We love another moment for code read Dad con five,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: go to New York, come back sick for the next
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: few days, right on the week of Christmas.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Because you're right, that is the perspective.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: Like that, like you, we laugh because we both know
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: we can't have that. Yeah, but New York dude, to
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: pile on and be a good co host and join
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: you in your love for New York's city. I love
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: New York City just as much as you, and arguably
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: maybe more. I actually, when I was there for the
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: two weeks I lived and worked there right out of college,
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: I pad on the set of the Netflix maybe The Irishman,
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: and that was being shot during Christmas. I was there, yes,
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: and so I got to experience all the lovely, lovely
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: parts of New York City during Christmas while working, which
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: that was phenomenal. And will I gotta tell you, I
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: think my favorite part of New York City is at
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: three o'clock or four o'clock in the morning, you're coming
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: home from a night shoot and that steamer starts coming
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: down cleaning the streets. You just get to see all
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: the lovely magic of New York City just rise off
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: those streets. You get the smell it, you get to
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: inhale it, and uh, that's the kind of stuff that
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: would Honestly, I wish you had had Rue out in
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: about at three or four o'clock in the morning so
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: she could have inhaled that. I think it would have
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: helped prevent what she caught, because that's the stuff that
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: makes a kid. That'll put some hair on your chest.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: That type of street dirt'll put some hair on your chest.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: And I joke, I New York does have it's it
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: does have its wonderful Uh. Christmas in New York was
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: really really really cool.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: But just like the type of uh, the type of
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: like guy I am, like I would outside if my
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: if it was my wife's idea, Like I personally would
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: never be looking to go do Christmas in New York.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: I would never be personally going to seek out trips
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: in New York because I'm just not being around a
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: bunch of people is just.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: Not my vibe. Yeah, I'm just so easier.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: You're you're walking around, you're kind of bumping into people,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: You're trying to avoid a lot. There's just so many
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: people and you want to go in It's like when
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: I go into stores or shops or whatever. It is,
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Like I love to kind of have space and think
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: about what I might get if I ever do go shopping.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm like in my mind.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Taking so much time internally, I hate thinking about store
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: workers looking at me, coming up and asking, hey, do
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: you need any help?
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I just I don't.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: I don't want any Like I'll come up to you
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: if I'm looking for something and I need help. Like,
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: I just hate that potential social factor that goes on
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: with all of these people around you at all times.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Then you're in the aisle and there's a bunch of
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: people in the aisle, it's like, man, I'm kind of
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: messing with it. I kind of want to sit here
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: and think or look at all these different if we're
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: in the toy shop, look.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: At all these different toys. But then you feel people.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: To your right left, You're kind of like, are we
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: got to like swiftly move through this aisle?
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: A million percent. And unfortunately, when Jill got pregnant, this

  Speaker 3: is actually a really sad story. When Jill got pregnant,
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: my mom, sorry, it kept on bringing up, and you know,

• 38:52
  Speaker 1: to see his mom again. And so I'm having a
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: moment of perspective because four years ago is when my
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: mom passed away, and it happened.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: On December nineteenth.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: So we were in New York during you know that time,
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: like when the nineteenth hit. A couple my boys sent
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: me up families. You know, we're all kind of talking
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: about Charles. You know, asking how I'm doing and everything else,
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: Like it's it's kind of like another day.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: You sit there and you think.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: About it, you remember, you remember the emotions and the
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: feelings you had when it happened.
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: Because I was in a hotel when it did happen.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: We were about to play the Cleveland Browns the next
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: day when I heard when I found out and heard
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: the news that my mom had suddenly passed. But that
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: happened on the day of December nineteenth. So the full
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: circle moment I'm happening with another appreciation of going out
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: there to New York and seeing those things and seeing
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: the Rockefeller Tree. Is Kevin McAllister sitting there at the
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: very end of the movie saying if he could have
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: one more thing, it would be just to like talk
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: to his mom again.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: So as I'm watching that, I'm just.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: Like putting it all together, and I'm thinking, you know,
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: sometimes there are coincidences, sometimes there are none. And that's
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: on where I'm having like a moment of perspective on
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: like it felt that this was not a coincidence. I'm
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: watching this movie right now and seeing that scene of
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: him talking about it and feeling those same things that
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: he's saying yeah, yeah, and we got to be in
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: the presence of that tree like we were out there
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: in New York during that time.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: That is a really good full circle, especially with the
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: way that you were probably feeling in New York. To
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: then be back home and to be able to be like, hey,
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: you know, we're worth it. Family is worth it, Like
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: it truly is good. As much as we joke around
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: of like I'm gonna find the biggest fucking line in
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: New York, That's what.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: This show is for.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: Man, We're gonna, we're gonna we're gonna talk about the
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: suck in the most sucking way. We're gonna do our
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: best to grab ourselves, pull us out, zoom out, and
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: have perspective on it. Because on the nineteenth, when we're
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: walking around all these you know, all the beautiful buildings
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: in New York, tall, big, sleek, modern, all these little
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: shops everything else.
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: And then in the middle of it, in the area
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: we were.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: Is this massive Saint Patrick's Cathedral. Like I grew up Catholic,
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: my mom was a Catholic school principal. In this massive
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: church is you're sitting there, gorgeous, bro, and we're walking
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: through it was like Charles like, do you want to
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: go in there and light a candle? And I was
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: kind of just more in the I don't want to
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: run toward I don't want to run toward the emotion today.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, no, we can just kind of keep moving.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of just sitting there appreciating how big this
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: church is all I.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: Oh, my mom would have love this.
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: I didn't also did not know and should have known
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: about the nineteenth No, no, no, no, You're fine, no no,
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: but I do just want to say that did not
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: know and.

  Speaker 2: You weren't in my life on that day that year.
• 41:45

• 41:52
  Speaker 3: how much that that stuff means to you. But what

• 46:22
  Speaker 1: this dude just going to work on my truck and
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: I'm like, Yo, what's going on out there? She's like,
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: I also, I got you a detail and due when
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: I got in the truck after the detail, I was like,
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: this is the sickest gift that I just would never
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: think about getting. I'd never think about treating myself to me.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: So when Christmas is coming around, I was like, Yeah,
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get the boys details because it's so bad.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: It makes you feel so good too.
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: Well and not only is it a great gift for us,
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: but Jill might be the biggest detail sicko of all
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: time on getting her own card detailed. So just know
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: that that when she came rushing into my room when
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: the detailer, you know, I'm dead in bad and the detailers
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: at our house and she comes right in. She's like,
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: they're gonna detail your car. I was like yeah. She
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: was like like, oh dude, dude.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: For all the Milk Team sixers out there, like nky sneaky,
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: A plus gift is getting a detailer over to the
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: house to detail your husband, your hubbies, your PT sixers,
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: truck or car whatever it is, like, it's it is unbelievable.
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: Will I have our chef go ahead?
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: Please want to?
• 47:26
  Speaker 5: I want to put this in first year of doing
• 47:29
  Speaker 5: a proper eye by gifts for people I love. I
• 47:33
  Speaker 5: missed out on the four of their Dad's Crew, but
• 47:35
  Speaker 5: I think we'll all have.
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: Something by next episode.
• 47:38
  Speaker 5: And I know, Sharon, we've already talked about it and
• 47:39
  Speaker 5: sure said you're fine, done about this. I'm miss now
• 47:43
  Speaker 5: I dropped the ball on this and you're gonna next episode, Chef, you.
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: Continue because there's there's it's such a confusing.
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: I don't have the words.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: To break down how how okay it is that you
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: didn't get anything?
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah? And I say that because in my.
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: Own shoes, I'm thinking of last minute Christmas shopping, I'm
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: currently doing gifts that i'm forgetting about to get people like,
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: I feel just so much shame, feeling like even though
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: I know the other person would say there's no expectation,
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: I feel like I have an expectation internally that I'm
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: feel like I'm letting down. I don't know, but all
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: to say, I promise you it is totally okay that
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: you didn't get us one. And I have been saying
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: those words because I know even when I say those words,
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: if they were being said to me, I'm thinking I
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: willly I hear you.
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: But it's also not okay with me.
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: So I look, I don't know, but I promise you
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: there's no feeling other than if I would just joke
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: on you, but just know that joke would have zero.
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: Truth to it.
• 48:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and look like you just said, it's an internal expectation.
• 48:51
  Speaker 5: I love getting people gifts. It's like one of my
• 48:53
  Speaker 5: favorite things to do. Yeah, so like it's to me,
• 48:55
  Speaker 5: it's even more of a thing. But it's like, yeah,
• 48:57
  Speaker 5: it's that first year of like, hey, I actually have
• 48:59
  Speaker 5: a real job. Now I can get people. People don't
• 49:02
  Speaker 5: expect it, but it's like I didn't have a job,
• 49:04
  Speaker 5: like I need to get loved one stuff. So I
• 49:08
  Speaker 5: think next episode, we'll all I might be coming in
• 49:10
  Speaker 5: with a couple of goodies.
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: I was about to say being the being the second
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: closest to Chef, am I older or no, Derek's older
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: than me, but uh, yeah I was. I was a
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: young buck. And when I envision Chef, like I know
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: that this is his first big boy job. I was
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: sitting at my desk when Chef had just got hired
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: on and he did a little whistle underneath his breath
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: and he goes first check hit man. That's a good feeling.
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: And I got to be sitting right there for it.
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: So I envisioned you exactly how I was my first
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: big boy year of like you you don't you know?
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: That was my realization of oh, I can get gifts
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: for people now because I can actually afford but you.
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: And again this new group of people that you work
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: with that you do love, but they've just never been
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: in your I guess like stratosphere or thought process of
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: like when you do do your annual gift giving for everybody,
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: like around Christmas, and then it's like the only thing
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: that has to happen for that domino to fall is
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: somebody else gets gifts for people in the workspace. And
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: then you were like, oh snap, like I love these
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: people too. I completely forgot about the whole gift factor thing.
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: I want to get gifts. Now I feel like do
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: I get gifts?
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: And now it's like I'm trying to compete with somebody
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: else who just brought in Like it's a I feel
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: like it's just a bizarre mental world when you're thinking
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: about gift gifting for everybody.
• 50:44
  Speaker 5: And to add on, Jpep got me a gift too.
• 50:47
  Speaker 5: He got me a little Star Wars It's like a
• 50:50
  Speaker 5: little holographic It's death star light up thing for my desk.
• 50:54
  Speaker 5: It's a little lamp that looks like a hologram. And
• 50:57
  Speaker 5: I was in the same thing. I was just like,
• 50:59
  Speaker 5: it's on, Like you didn't need I didn't even really know.
• 51:02
  Speaker 5: But now that I know, I'm like, oh yeah, I
• 51:04
  Speaker 5: like to give people gifts and it's fun, you know,
• 51:06
  Speaker 5: other than like gifting's not.
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: My love language.
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: I'm not a gift gift I like, I'm not a
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: I'm not a big gift guy.
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: Same.
• 51:13
  Speaker 5: I love doing it, but it's like and with you guys,
• 51:16
  Speaker 5: I actually know that this is the first year of
• 51:18
  Speaker 5: getting girlfriend gifts or like actually we always got to
• 51:21
  Speaker 5: use more than just like one or two and buddy,
• 51:24
  Speaker 5: I've been in it. It was a three week blender
• 51:26

  Speaker 5: kind of like I got a little bit of parameter,
• 52:20
  Speaker 5: I'm excited because I'm now I'm already thinking of what's
• 52:24
  Speaker 5: sick Nebraska memorabilia I can find Will that will get
• 52:28
  Speaker 5: him to chuckle? What do you get a man who
• 52:31
  Speaker 5: has everything you gotta? You gotta think, you gotta think
• 52:34
  Speaker 5: outside the box. And that's a challenge that.
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was asking myself. I was gonna say, I
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: was asking myself the very the very same thing and target,
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: uh the other day, what do you what do you
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: get Will Compton for Christmas?
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: Look, I don't even know.
• 52:53
  Speaker 3: I think I may have nailed it. I don't want
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: to brag, but I think I may have nailed it.
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: Real quick, do we want to open our And I
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: have a note from Derek for each person that he
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: wanted me to read on the pod for you guys, yes.
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: And then also a question for the BT six community
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: again because I live in this this this mental world
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: of get do I get these gifts, Like when friends
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: get your kid's gifts.
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: Is the etiquette or the obligation now to get.
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: Their kids' gifts, because then what if you don't know
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: what they want?
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, But that's for the BT
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: six community.
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: It's like when friends get my kids gifts, I don't
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: really want them to get my kid's gifts because I
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: like my kids will get they'll get their gifts for
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: Christmas and everything else. I don't want them to have
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: too much, like so many gifts, so many presents, so
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: many toys.
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: Like well, Charlo and I.
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: Both don't want a whole lot of gifts being had
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: for birthdays and Christmas, like we of course we won't
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: have a great time. We want them to get things
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: that they want, but we don't want it to just
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: be a showering of presence and gifts like on the
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: day off.
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: So then when friends do it, I'm like, ah, I
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: need to do a.
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: Better job of communicating this is completely unnecessary, Like I
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: would rather you not do it, because then you give
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: me gifts. Now I'm thinking I got to get your
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: kids gifts exactly.
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: In a great move from the nineties, this is a
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: very nineties gift. But something my parents would do as
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: a family gift to another family is if you went
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: on a trip with them, if you had some holiday
• 54:23
  Speaker 3: party with them or whatever, where y'all may have had
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: a big group picture or a big family picture together.
• 54:29
  Speaker 3: Let's say, like you and Hallett went on that Colorado trip,
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: y'all probably got a picture of all y'all together, right, yeap,
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: get a real nice picture frame, nothing too crazy. I
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: like that, Put the picture in there and write a
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: really sweet thought out note on the back of how
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: much the Compton family loves the Howett family. And that's
• 54:50
  Speaker 3: like a great hey for my family to yours and
• 54:52
  Speaker 3: they can have it forever.
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: I need you to stop saying to hell, because Nick's
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: gonna text me and say I'm expecting a photo now.
• 55:01
  Speaker 3: You probably will.
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay. The book.

  Speaker 5: excited to hear what he says.
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: My wife loves that book.
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: Just say. Look, just came in during that moment. She's like,

• 56:30
  Speaker 3: your book is my personal favorite that I've ever read.
• 56:34
  Speaker 3: It is about the number fifty restaurant in the world
• 56:37
  Speaker 3: going to number one, and it took my takeaway was
• 56:43
  Speaker 3: more than just cooking a good meal, but uh. To
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: get there is a great story and a great reminder
• 56:51
  Speaker 3: that everybody needs to be on the same page for
• 56:54
  Speaker 3: the ship to sail correctly.
• 56:57
  Speaker 5: Derek, I know you're listening to this because after we
• 57:00
  Speaker 5: fucked up the episode, we're watching them all the way
• 57:02
  Speaker 5: through to make sure audio doesn't screw up.
• 57:04
  Speaker 4: Thank you so much. This is incredible.
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: You know me. I am.
• 57:09
  Speaker 4: I love to cook.
• 57:09
  Speaker 5: I love everything restaurant focused. And I remember you telling
• 57:14
  Speaker 5: me a little bit about this book. I'm really excited
• 57:16
  Speaker 5: to give it a read and get back in my
• 57:18
  Speaker 5: reading back because that's something that I've been wanted to do.
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: I uh, do something last week's chef, what's up? You
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: mess up something last week?
• 57:26
  Speaker 5: No?
• 57:26
  Speaker 4: I remember the uh?
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: I remember, I just never knew what really happened it was.
• 57:31
  Speaker 5: It wasn't actually our fault. It was a computer error,
• 57:35
  Speaker 5: but we didn't catch it.
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: That was kind of the gotcha.
• 57:39
  Speaker 3: From the sound of it. Derek made it to how Mike,
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: it's a it's a easy catch, easy remindered type of situation.
• 57:48
  Speaker 5: It was something when we rendered it, yeah, yeah, and
• 57:50
  Speaker 5: then I would go back and premiere and look and
• 57:52
  Speaker 5: it was perfectly fine. So it's like the when we
• 57:54
  Speaker 5: finished it to like basically for people, long story, but yeah,
• 57:59
  Speaker 5: it was kind of like a weird circumstance.
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: But the book you got there, that's a popular one.
• 58:07
  Speaker 3: Yes, I have The Creative Act by Rick Rubin. He said, Sherman,
• 58:11
  Speaker 3: your book is one of my favorite books on the planet.
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: Uh, and.
• 58:17
  Speaker 3: You got my favorite books of a planet that I

  Speaker 3: bring up and read all the time. It currently sits
• 58:22
  Speaker 3: on my desk. It is from the great music producer
• 58:25
  Speaker 3: Rick Rubin. In any time I hit a creative roadblock,
• 58:31
  Speaker 3: I look up a chapter in this book.

  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: Derek, thank you so much for these. This really is
• 58:39
  Speaker 3: a very thoughtful gift. That's very kind. He was not

  Speaker 3: planning on doing this on the podcast. He was going
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: to give it to us, but since you know, because
• 58:48
  Speaker 3: of all the chaos of traveling and everything, it just
• 58:52
  Speaker 3: worked out. And I said, well, I think it would
• 58:54

• 58:57

• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: thirty three eighty three on YouTube Buddy Pop, a Team
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: six member with an eight month old girl.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: I've been on Operation night al as.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: Our baby girl has been waking up frequently throughout the
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: night and can only be comforted by being held tough.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: Oh good. After two attempts of putting.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: In the crib and going from dead to sleep to
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: eyes wide open staring in my soul good, I brought
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: her back in the rocking chair and thought, WWWOSD, what
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: would Willie Winshelf do started? So I started terminal list
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: and will now help me get through Operation night out.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: All I needed was a classic great bollipop. In all seriousness,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: I appreciate the pod and relatable content. I say to myself,
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: I get to do this during these late nights. I
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: won't be able to hold my baby girl like this forever.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: And I can already see how fast things change. Thanks boys, Max,
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: that is a hell of comment. Thank you brother, and
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: again just that that's tough, like Scotty was kind of
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: like being held. You put her down, her eyes get
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: wide open. One thing I would start doing is, you know,
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: as I'm saying, Sae, my routine is, I'm in the
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: rocking chair and then I get up. I'll go from
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: the rocking chair and stand up, because obviously movement happens,
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: so they might wiggle a little bit as you stand up.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: I kind of sit there and I count to myself
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: for thirty seconds as I do this way back and
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: forth move and I need her to be in a
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: dead sleep, like no movement, no harm, movement, know anything
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: else before go the final like ten seconds in my head.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: But I get this routine pat going on where it's
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: like I'm like, say, I'm popping like this or I'm popping.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: Then I skip one, pop again, skip another one, skip
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: another one. And then as I continue to get going,
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: I'll keep letting them out to where it gets slower,
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: it gets lighter, it gets all these things. And then
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: as I transition to put her in the crib and
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: she might wiggle and wake up, I immediately try to
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: get her on her side and mimic the routine path
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: that I was doing, so she kind of stays in
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: that element move.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: That's a win. And then again I just keep going.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: I knock out the every other one to where it's
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: one every few seconds.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: I get lighter and lighter, and then to.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: Where my hand is or I'll hold my hand like
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: on her butt so she still feels that pressure, and then.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: I lightly lightly bring it off.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 3: And we're and now we're out. We're out, We're now
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 3: we're out.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: Because you're gonna have to make those transitions anyway whenever
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: you want them to get used to being put down,
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: because where you're going to really knock it out is
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: when you're able to kind of put them down and
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: they're still kind of awake, and then they can put
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: themselves asleep, like that's the goal.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: So that way you can put them down and then
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: walk out of the room.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: So I would just go from that whole routine going
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: down to where she stays asleep. Then if she's waking up,
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: I'm still trying to do the same thing. She might
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: whine a little bit, but I'll keep the bat going
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: and I'll get down on her knee and keep doing
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: the pat and kind of southe through my voice just
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: to let her know, hey, I'm here, You're safe, that
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: I can't pick you up, because we're trying to teach
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: you that you can't just be held the entire.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: Time for you get to get to sleep.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: Then eventually they'll start getting the routine and go and
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: it'll be it'll continue continually get better. But those would
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: be kind of my steps if you are struggling where

  Speaker 1: she might have felt being in my.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: Arms with the pats.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: Put her down, keep the same pack going, hopefully she
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: doesn't move. If she does, you get to a level
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: of where you're just on the outside of the crib.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: Talking to or.

• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: doing stuff like this, so you know this is gonna
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: be a disaster.
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 3: One of our favorite family inside jokes is a family friend.
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 3: I'll use the name Sarah to stay anonymous, but one
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 3: time the mom said, hey, you better listen because I'm
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 3: the boss, and her little two year old turned around
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 3: and said, no, Sarah the boss. And that's like our
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 3: most quoted like inside joke of the family of just
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 3: like those little kids are like, I am the captain now.
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: Sar Jora was saying that Rue hit her with I
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: forget what Charles said to her, but Rue hit her with, no,
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: I'm my own person.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, okay, Rue.
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I am my own person.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 3: That's the herd turn in black. That's what we need.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that. That's welcome to the aga. Yeah.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 4: I'm praying for you, buddy.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh yeah, Bro.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: She's she's she's strong willed, she's going to be she's tough.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 2: But you see the potential. I'm fired up for.
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 3: Absolutely. We have h what'd you say, yeah, Collins voicemails.
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 3: We'll just do one.
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let's say one voicemail because I got a couple
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: of emails here too. We'll do one voicemail in three
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: total emails.
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 4: This is recreating outfits.
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 6: Hey, PT six, Mike from Cleveland.
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 8: I wanted to also say something from the last episode
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 8: that Sharan was talking about this a little bit of
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 8: a dad hack, because Sharan was talking about how he
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 8: was catching a little flak from daycare about how it
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 8: looks like Dad picked out the outfit. And they ratted
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 8: him out to mom, and just to put you on
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 8: some game. A little bit of a hack that I
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 8: came across and had been doing is that I'd throw
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 8: on outfits from pictures that we have, you know, like
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 8: everyone's got that little family album. I go into the
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 8: family album sometimes and I'll look at pictures that I
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 8: know Mom, you know, I had put together that my
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 8: wife had put together.
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 6: So I just recreate what she's done before.
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 8: Sometimes you got to look recently and the other day.
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 6: Because I do all pick up and drop off too.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 8: Sure my wife is is a nurse, just like your wife,
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 8: and so uh so I'm picking up and dropping off
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 8: and dressing sometimes in the morning where she's got to
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 8: be there early. And so they recently just said, this
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 8: is like the best dressed baby that we got coming
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 8: in here. And and uh you know, of course I
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 8: can't let them know that Mom's calling the plays. Mom
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 8: wrote the playbook. I'm just the quarterback that's executing them.
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 8: So you know, you get to catch a little credit there.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 8: So for all the other dads not sure what's going
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 8: on and what to pick off from the drawer, that's
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 8: a little hack h to get you by all right, boys,
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 8: stay shraw pt six out.
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 4: I love it.
• 1:23:53

  Speaker 1: Humility. He's like, my wife's the coordinator on the quarterback. No,
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: your wife's the head coach. You're the coordinator on the field.
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: Call in the places. You might have the book ready
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: to go, but somebody you got to be instinctual when
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: you're out there making these plays, you're the.
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: One doing it.
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah.
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 1: Whenever in the future people start looking, you start to look,
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: and I'm.
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 2: Gonna get promoted. I'm gonna go be a head man somewhere.
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: This is These are the philosophies and the books you
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: keep prepared and ready to go for whenever you do
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: get that big payday and leave your wife and go
• 1:24:26

  Speaker 1: of the dads that we have in our family to

  Speaker 1: start listening as well.
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 2: From bustling with the boys to now for the dads.
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 1: We ourselves are not parents, not by choice, but because
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: of myself being infertile due to having stage four.
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 2: Endo matriosis. We tried.
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 1: We tried for about two years to have a child,
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: but the odds were against us, and we decided to
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 1: stop all fertility treatments and came to the conclusion that
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: we are happy with just us and our cat. We
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: are we pour all of our love into our eleven
• 1:28:59

  Speaker 1: with fertility and IVF.
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 2: Thank you guys for being so opened with that.
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 1: We know it can be a very sensitive subject and
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: to talk about, and I just want to say how
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: appreciative we, and I'm sure many others are that you
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: have talked about it so openly. My husband's not a dad,
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 1: but I know he would have been the best because
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: he's an amazing uncle and the best cat dad. Thank you,
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 1: guys for making this podcast for what it is, and

• 1:29:40
  Speaker 2: on that one.
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, man, the the infertility stuff, I can only imagine
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 1: being in their shoes and getting to a point to
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 1: where you're just like, all right, it's just not going
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 1: to happen for us. I'm sure those conversations are super heavy.
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 1: I'm sure super emotional. I'm sure both sides feel like
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: it's their fault.
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 2: At times.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: Each side probably gets concerned or scared or fear creeps
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: in at the other like, Hey, I know you're my teammate.
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 2: Are we sure we're okay with this? Are you sure
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 2: you're okay with this?
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: I know you want to fail, like you know those
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: conversations that I'm just assuming they're having those conversations.
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying that they are.
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm sure that's very that's that's very difficult. And Anna,
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 1: thank you, Thank you for writing in. George, shout out
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: you for listening to Bus with the Boys, shout out

  Speaker 2: I'm glad you love this podcast.
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 3: I will say this because I haven't talked to them.
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 3: I need to. But I had a couple of friends
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 3: that I've brought up to you outside of the pod before,
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 3: and yeah, they had been trying for a while and
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 3: like a very long time, and they just found out
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 3: that they're pregnant. And it like getting to see that
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 3: desire like firsthand, and like knowing how much they wanted it.
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 3: It just makes comments like that like hit so much harder.
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 3: And so it was George and Anissa correct Jordan's and
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 3: Aissa apologies. Yeah, just so much love goes out to
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 3: you guys, especially around the holidays, and y'all just sound
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 3: like incredible people. Y'all sound like you have a great
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 3: view and great optics on your life and just planning
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 3: your family and loving others well. And we're really really
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 3: lucky that there are people like that in this world
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 3: and are deserving and I wish more than anything, uh
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 3: that you know, maybe one day, but gosh, y'all are
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 3: so deserving. You sound incredibly delightful.
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, And how lucky are those nieces and nephews
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: or they have Like again, it's so easy to write
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 1: it down that we pour into our nieces and nephews.
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 1: If they do that, they do do that, them doing
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: that intentionally knowing all the probably pain, anger, fear that
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: they've had throughout the entire process. And to have that
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 1: perspective when going into the room around your nieces and
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 1: nephews and not having like an envy or jealousy which
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: I'm sure creeps up at times, like we're all human. Yeah,
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: and just to know like that stuff to side, because hey,
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 1: this is how we are going to get to do
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 1: this is by pouring into our cat, pouring into our
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 1: nieces and nephews.
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 2: Like you said, they sound like wonderful people.
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 3: That's the luckiest cat in North America. I can probably
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 3: be lucky.
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 2: He's getting North America.
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 3: Man, that thing is getting some belly scratches out the wazoo.

• 1:33:06
  Speaker 2: The only person to quote.
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: Anything I got for you guys this week is just
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 1: what I said in the very beginning.
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 2: Joy over stress again.
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of families out there where they have
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 1: families visiting. You're going to visit, you're traveling with kids,
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 1: you're hosting a lot of whatever it is. There's gonna
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 1: be families out there that probably don't have anybody coming over.
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 1: It might just be them, and things will feel very stressed.
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 2: So things can feel very stressful on the holidays.
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 1: Myself, I lost my mom right before Christmas four years ago,
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 1: So Christmas time to me, I adore Christmas. I love
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 1: everything that we're about to do and about to get
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 1: to and I always have those fleeting thoughts of this
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: time and the way I felt four years ago around Christmas.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 2: To the holiday season.
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: So there's a lot of stress that can easily pour
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 1: into your mind and body, like when holiday season is coming,
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 1: especially the day of when your kids are shredding presence.
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 1: They're doing this, Oh, we want to the dinner first,
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 1: we should eat breakfast before we do breath. There's gonna
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 1: be chaos all over the place. Kids are gonna want
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 1: to play with their toys, and not do what you
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 1: thought you had planned, but just choose joy over stress.
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 1: That would be my biggest That is what I'm thinking
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 1: as we go in because as this week was unwinding
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: on me now, I felt behind the eight ball with
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 1: busting and the rub being sick, and then you know,
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 1: getting back from traveling and being gone in New York
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: for a few days to trying to get back in it.
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 1: It's hard to get back in it. Your little one
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 1: gets sick, the charl and Scotty, the other ones get sick,
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 1: tower House is sick. Hey, we might not be able
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 1: to do for the dad say, I don't think I
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 1: could shoot show up to the locker room like all
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 1: the things where it's like my parents are coming.
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 2: Damn, I forgot to get gifts for a few different people.
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: I'm doing all this last minute stuff to where it
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 1: just feels stressful at times, and I'm just the approach
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 1: that I'm thinking of now is brother, choose joy over stress,
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: Like these are the moments you want, these are the
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 1: moments you've looked for.
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 3: I could not retweet you harder. That's my exact message.
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 3: I had a thing written out, but basically it breaks
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 3: down to I think the only Christmas where I really
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 3: remember gifts was when we got our Nintendo sixty four
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 3: and I got my hands on GoldenEye and Hockey. Your boy.
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 3: Will never forget bawling my eyes out and fighting and
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 3: crying with my brother. That's Will's age four years older
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 3: than me, as he was saying all the video games
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 3: that were the good ones, those were all his. But
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 3: I could have Mario Kart, but he got to have
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 3: all the big boy video games.
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 2: But same with Second Genesis. I'll always remember open up
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 2: a Second Genesis.
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, dude, Oh yeah, it's always.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 2: A video game console. Outside of that, Yeah, you go on,
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 2: you continue.
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 3: Well, just all that being said, like gifts, I feel
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 3: like that's kind of the overarching Everybody always says, hey,
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 3: it's not about the gifts, But what I would go
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 3: a step for there is I feel like my family
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 3: did a really good job of making memories on Christmas
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 3: Day or the days around it, of we would go
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 3: on jeep rides with my aunt. She fixed up old
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 3: jeeps and we would go with the top down. She
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 3: lives in Tallahassee, and we'd go on these jeep rides
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 3: like around Christmas ay, and I remember like being wrapped
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 3: in the blankets, like in the back of her jeep
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 3: with all of us like crammed in there, and like
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 3: giggling and blasting Christmas music and my grandmother being in
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 3: there and going horseback riding, going we did a bike
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 3: ride on a nature trail one year. Like we would
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 3: always do these activities, and like that's what I think
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 3: of whenever I think of Christmas. It's like those really
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 3: fun activities that we would do. And so I would
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 3: just say to any pt sixers, empty six ers looking
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 3: to create magic, planned some kind of fun little adventure
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 3: to do on Christmas Day or around Chris Smith's, those
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 3: are the memories that the kids are gonna.
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 1: Remember Well, said bro Well said even those moments too,
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 1: like where it's like it's not about gifts, people are right,
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 1: but also think about the moment around opening a gift
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 1: that you were wanting or expecting or whatever.
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 7: It is.
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 1: Excitement that your parents are we like, as parents are
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 1: going to pour in when those moments are happening that
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 1: they will remember.
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 2: It's like, all right, dude, I remember being so.
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 1: Fired up, saying Genesis, my dad was fired up for me,
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 1: my mom was fired up for me brother.
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 2: You're sitting there kind of like, oh is this ours
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 2: or is this mine?
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 1: You know, you're kind of going back and forth there,
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 1: But just the environment and moment around the gift opening
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 1: is uh, dude, it's special. I'm excited we got we
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: got Rue. Can't tell her U can't listen to the podcast,
• 1:37:48

• 1:37:57
  Speaker 1: So so we got her a bike. I'm so fired

  Speaker 3: at the Santa stuff. One year we were getting a puppy,
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 3: but we had to pick up the puppy from the breeders.
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 3: And so the way that my dad was able to
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 3: trick us and make it into like a really great
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 3: surprise is that we were going to go run an
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 3: errand and we were out running the errand in his car.
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 3: He rolled down the window because he had to spit
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 3: out the window and he had a note from Santa
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 3: that he did a little sneaky whoop and it flew
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 3: back into the back. Didn't say a word. So Jordan
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 3: and I, my brother, go, what was that that just
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 3: flew in my dad's Like, what are you talking about?

• 1:41:38
  Speaker 3: I have this gift for you. Like that, you know,
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 3: I want you to bro It was a move of
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 3: the century. I thought until I was twelve years old

  Speaker 3: that Santa magically made that note fly into our car.
• 1:41:51
