In this weeks episode, we see Sherman and Will discuss the week one dad wins and losses for Sherman as he starts his journey into fatherhood. Will berates Sherm for keeping him up playing video games as he was on the night shift for Scarlett. Then, Will talks about his daughters competitive nature growing and becoming like her dad, even going as far as trying to cheat to win. Will and Sherm then talk about dad hacks, including adding protein to food for kids and singing to pass the time by late at night. The boys then listen to call-ins with the first ever international call in, hailing from Australia. To wrap up the show Will shares a lesson on the importance of showing resilience to your child. Buckle up, this week was a doozy… Hope You Enjoy! This week on For The Dads, Sherman opens up about his first full week of fatherhood, sharing both the early wins and the inevitable dad fails that come with newborn life. Will doesn't let him off easy, especially after finding out Sherm kept him up late playing video games while he was supposed to be on the night shift with baby Scarlett. The conversation takes a hilarious turn as Will shares how his daughter's competitive spirit is ramping up—so much so that she’s already trying to cheat her way to victory, just like her old man. As always, the guys drop some practical (and questionable) dad hacks, including how to sneak protein into kid meals and why singing random songs at 2 AM might just save your sanity. Later in the episode, they react to listener call-ins from fellow dads, featuring the show’s very first international call from Australia. To close things out, Will delivers a heartfelt reflection on how important it is to model resilience for your kids, especially during the tougher parenting moments. It’s a raw, funny, and honest dive into what real-life parenting looks like.
