So, one.

So I was looking up by your podcast.

You're helping dads like me who are exhausted. I heard you just became a dad, man. Yeah, this is a, I have now a six-month-old boy and a two-and-a-half-year-old girl. Dang, bro. Yeah, it's a party. Yeah, six and two-and-old and two-and-half-year- half year old yeah the two years apart almost to the day

dang well how's the how's the six month old sleeping you know my wife takes the brunt of it

and right now he's in a weird phase we think he's teething and so he's awesome all day and then at night it's just like you know he's going to be up a bunch of times. Yeah. So hopefully we can get through this because overall he's been the best. What I learned is it comes in waves. Like they'll do like a long sleep wave and then you get settled and just when you get settled you think this is it we

did it yeah and then it's like no and it seemed like every three months for like the first two years

like change sleep yeah yeah i realize like people we'll probably get to this but i feel like dads aren't

told hey the first year is not going to be the most fun for you like it starts getting fun after year one year one, but, like, there's not really a bond. There's not much you can do to, like, interact, you know? I think dads want to, like, they want activity. You feel like they're doing something? Dude, I wrote a whole chapter on this in a book because moms, especially if a mom is breastfeeding, but moms naturally are, like, so intuitive with a baby. But if they're breastfeeding, it's like, it's, you know, it's, you know, they're, they're like literally connected. They've carried the baby and then they're connected. And I've already been bonding for nine months. Exactly. It's like unfair advantage, mom. Yep. And I remember when my son, our son was our first. I have four now, but our son was our first. And I felt kind of guilty because I was like, why do I feel like I don't love him or like connect with him the way that she is? And then I remember, dude, he was like, whatever age it was where he could sit up, like he was sitting normal, like he wouldn't fall over, know like a drunk uh drunk man but he was sitting

up on the floor and then he rolled a ball to me and i rolled it back and he giggled and i'm like

bro game over this is it well that that changed everything for me that's awesome i think you're

100% right like guys bond shoulder to shoulder not necessary like i can't shoot leila my wife would just

ask me she's like can't you just sit here and stare at him forever i'm like no like i don't like

i'll get bored it feels creepy like i got to be doing something i got to pick you up throw you around

spin you exactly roll the ball race some cars i saw that you the, did I hear that you had like pet issues? Somebody made a joke recently about you having pet issues. Oh, yeah. I mean, David Rage is right here. Jokes about me on air. Really? I've got two French bulldogs, and I know, like, animals are not kids, but the level of work they are for us now that we have, one of them

has had an emergency surgery. He had a spine disease essentially lost all movement on his back

half. So we decided to do a surgery to try to heal them up. And it's been going on five or six

months now of recovery. And it's just like, it's a little better every month but it's still so challenging

and so much effort and work just constantly like what does he need to do right when you clean this

up oh he made a mess over here and so that's been taking a toll on us as much as you know the infant

toddler it is crazy my dog the other day came in the reason The reason I brought it up because she's like laying on the floor over here and she just like came in. She's got like a wound, bro. Like she just got attacked by a wolf. Like I'm like, wait, wait. We live in like the suburb. I'm like, what did you do out there? And so, you know, classic like Ramsey, I'm just being so tight, like penny pitching.

I'm like, you're either going to die, you're going to get better.

You're like, I'm not taking you to the bed.
