Welcome to another episode of For The Dads, where hosts Will Compton and Sherm break down everything you need to know about football season survival and Will’s MASSIVE Husband Loss—because being a dad isn't easy! In this episode, Will and Sherm dive into how to successfully plan your weekends during football season, how to handle the emotional rollercoaster when your team loses, and why setting expectations with your spouse is crucial for a smooth season. Plus, the boys talk about balancing family time and football fandom, especially when there’s a new baby on the way! To kick things off, Will and Sherm catch up with Papa Team 6 before jumping into a hilarious story about accountability when Will puts off putting up a shelf in his daughter’s room. Then it’s all about football. Will talks about setting expectations with your wife for the weekend game schedule, while Sherm opens up about his worries that his infant daughter might cut into his football time. The guys also share some fan-submitted stories in Dad Losses, crack a cold one to celebrate seeing your kids after a business trip, and recount their adventures at the county fair.
