Toddler tantrums, pacifier weaning & when should dad stop traveling before birth?

- Yeah, let's get the vibes, right? - Vibes are good. - Vibes are so good. - Vibes are so good. - Really? - Vibes are great.

- Great. - Great. - Yep, ready? Let's just get into it. Send me fun episode. Welcome back to another episode of Two Parents in a Podcast.

Today is a fun episode. We just left the doctor. The baby has gained one pound, and I checked, officially we went last Thursday. So he gained a pound in six days.

Just a lot.

- You know what we never talked about?

Is that like how much weight you're actually gaining is just like not the baby, it's the water in the fluids, yeah. - Fluids in the blah, blah, blah. - Right, 'cause if you weigh six and a half pounds, then okay, I've only gained six and a half pounds.

I know, 'cause you gain hormone weight, you gain fluid weight, and all this other. But what I am not on board for are these charts telling you, how much you're supposed to gain weight wise. First trimester, second trimester, third trimester, no.

Those charts drive me insane because it's like, you're actually, allegedly not supposed to gain weight in the first trimester. In the first trimester, if you're craving a bag of Doritos, you have to eat the bag of Doritos,

or your body like attacks you. If you decide you wanna R-B's roast beef sandwich, you gotta get it.

“Like the only way out of the first trimester is through.”

And then these dietitians put out these pregnancy charts and they're like, "Well, only gain a pound." And it's like, "What? "Where do you have enough going on?" And like, the audacity.

I think that however anybody, however much, like, I don't get on scales when I'm pregnant, 'cause that's not the point. And so I just think those charts are adding a level of, not comparison, but adding a level of,

that's the word, like, pressure? Yeah, pressure that doesn't need to be there. And they drive me crazy. So if you see those charts pleasing, nor them, I've unfollowed people that have posted those charts.

'Cause I just think, if you're making the baby, you're doing enough. - Preach. - Okay, sorry for the tantrum off the top. - Sure falls, none, nope, sorry.

Arbys, is your favorite fast food joint? - It used to be. - Or was, sorry. - Yes, true. I would get the five for five, 95.

I would get two roast beefs, this is my order, ask Sydney. Five for five, 95. Two roast beef sandwiches, one apple turnover, or cherry turnover, if they had 'em.

One Jamaica shake, which would always hurt my stomach,

and curly fries, and I would eat that before volleyball practice. - Curly fries, okay, so, but then-- - I never remember these. - Oh, well, here's the problem.

- Wait, sorry, two roast beef sandwiches, the curly fries, the shake, and what else? - Cherry turnover. - But the cherry turnover, that'd be dessert? - Yes, that was a good pie.

- Yes, it's like an apple struttle kind of, but the problem is, then in college, I was like, I love Arbys, let me try Arbys, so I wouldn't try it, and I was horrified. It was nothing like I remembered.

Like, Arbys had like, those sandwiches weren't flat, they were the lunch you asked for. - But I was the same way growing up with Wendy's, where we would go and get the spicy chicken sandwich there. Like, I thought that was a gourmet sandwich,

and now when you go and have it, it tastes like cardboard, so.

“- And that's how it is with some of the high school restaurants”

I would go to. Like, I remember when I, where did I take you? Oh, no, I'm not gonna do that to cattle men's, but-- - I love cattle men's. - I love cattle men's too.

- Do you know what I really like? - I shans. - Well, everyone knows that a lot of I shans. I don't like I shans, I love I shans. I like braums.

- Oh, I like braums. - I like braums. - I think braums is really good. - But braums only has so many stores within, because they have to be close enough to their farms,

so their meat is fresh. So, that's why it's a superior area. - Do you know that I've had braums every single time, I've been to Oklahoma City? - I did know that, yes, because I've been with you

every single time.

- Yeah, I've never missed, I've never missed a braums,

'cause we've missed one or two items. - Yes, 'cause I shouldn't just harder to get to. I shouldn't just the fried chicken joint in Oklahoma, but it's like 30 minutes away from my house, whereas braums is a minute.

You could walk. I wanna tell everyone what we're gonna, what we're getting into on this episode. - Well, you didn't ask about my, what my McDonald's order grown up was.

- Okay, and we're gonna do that in a moment, because why would I have asked that? - Because I asked you our disorder. - Why would I ask you to make Donald's order? - You can just mention McDonald's.

- Well, I just mentioned-- - Well, then we have to know that. That's part of the thing. - Okay, so, to make chickens, and those were the hero of every meal.

- Totally. - One big back. - Whoa. - And then a 10 piece or 20 piece nugget. - Extra large thigh coke.

“Now, I think the most unique part of my order,”

no fries. - And tell us about that, why no fries? - 'Cause I love the sandwich. I always felt that the sandwiches were better than the fries, and I know people love McDonald's fries,

- People love McDonald's fries.

- And I guess to be clear, that's my drunk order. - And, oh, well, that doesn't count, because my order, this is right after school before all he bought. - Oh, but I don't think I've had McDonald's and not drunk in over decade.

- Well, then this isn't a one to one comparison. - Yeah. - And my high school order, that was actually, I think I was, I got my words mixed up. My high school order would have been something very basic.

Allah, I'm a chicken meal, 'cause I lived and died by the McChicken, solely through high school. And arm McChicken's in Canada, are different than your McChicken's in the U.S.,

ours are bigger, and they're served on a sesame seed bun.

“- Well, the archburger's on a sesame seed bun, I think.”

- What's the archburger? - It's all the rage these days. I don't know what it is, but it's archburger. - All right, I mean, we're gonna pivot out of this. What do you mean, what's the archburger?

He's kidding. - Archburger's the thing we would be talking about. - I guess. - Totally joke. - Oh, yeah, it's just bad, like sometimes,

sometimes I don't even remember what I was saying. - He's skipping right over our fight on the way back from the doctor, huh? - Who was right? Because he's always right.

- Who's always right in the third trimester.

- You're always right. - Can't get job eight. All right, in this episode you guys, we're gonna talk about winning off the pacifier, which is what's happening at our household.

Tantrums, because I've realized we've entered the tantrum stage, and we haven't even talked about it. So we're gonna talk about that. And then when should partners stop traveling before birth, because somebody in the comments was like,

wait, Harrison's traveling. And so we're gonna address, you know, why he's traveling. We're just gonna talk about travel. And then other things we're gonna talk about,

which I love this video, is the most annoying things that a dad can do in the delivery room. And then there's a video we're gonna recap, which is, we did these eight things when introducing our daughter to her new brother,

and it worked really well.

“And so I think they're fascinating to go through.”

So we kind of have a jam packed episode today.

Harrison's fake being on his phone, because he knew he made me so mad and on the car right here, you guys, that when we walked in, Jules and I both said, let's just, let's just not have that phone.

But if people have their phones out right now, they can, and if you have your phone, because you guys are allowed to have your phone, you could subscribe, press follow on Spotify. And like the episode, and can I say,

we're tracking the subscriber count, and a lot of you that listen aren't subscribed, but you are subscribing, we're noticing. So thank you for that, very much. He doesn't go unnoticed.

- Thank you. - Thank you. So we went to the doctor today, and yes, we've gained one pound in six days. He has not dropped, and I asked my OB.

I said, how do you know if the baby's dropped, and she said your hand, she just looked at me and she said, well, your step and only has it, but your hand can fit nicely below your boobs above your belly, and mine absolutely cannot.

So he hasn't dropped, he's tucked right up there. It's crazy to think that he's almost the same way as Tate when she was born. - Yeah, he's six pounds five ounces and Tate was born at six pounds 15 ounces.

- What in the world is this guy gonna look like? - He looks like his sister. - Well, they said that today, but I'm like, if he looks, I would love him to look just like Bubba. - He looks just like Bubba, we could tell from the profile,

'cause I remember Bubba's profile in her photos and my belly, and he looks, well, we have him. We have some of her, so we can compare them, but he looks just like her. - Yeah, I just, I, but he's a big belly.

I don't understand the way I read what's it called? - Sonogram? - The Sonogram, you guys are just so much better at that than I am. So when you say there's similar problems,

I just, I have no idea what y'all are talking about, but I support. - His belly's in the 90th percentile.

“- Yeah, you know what I think we should do right now?”

- What? - A little mid-episode kiss, just to show on good vibes. - What? - Yep. - Okay, we're gonna shield them, not, ah!

- Sorry for the p.a. - I'm just checking. - I'm just checking to see if I'm still in trouble. - You're not, you're not in trouble, and I'm, - Have we calmed down a little bit? - Yeah, I was really riled up there for a moment.

You really, you really got me. But yeah, no, we're, we're definitely good. - Yeah. - Okay, so what we're gonna do, number one. Let's discuss someone's Spotify comment.

His Harrison's still going to Houston with the birth of his child. So close, oh, bold wording there. The birth of his child is so close. Just saw that pro-goffer Scotty Sheffler canceled his participation in the Houston open this week due to his wife,

possibly giving birth soon. Babies can come at any point at this time. Well, ladies and gentlemen, we do read your Spotify comments, which is why it's good to subscribe. No, here's the thing.

We, Harrison, is going to Houston because it's driving distance.

You said, absolutely, this baby's sitting up top. Sitting comfy in there, and he can be back within three hours. - Yeah, I actually do have a question. - What? - 'Cause we did catch me telling you life for the first time.

- But, no, no, no, but I knew you were going, I was down for you to be flying somewhere. - Oh, because you knew I was gone. - You cleared the day with me a long time ago and told me to have a friend come and town.

- Perfect. - I thought you were going to LA. - Yeah, so please. - So my take on on this initially was going to be like,

ultimately the most important thing is what

you feel comfortable with. - Harrison, I was flying with you flying. - Yeah. I would not, I'm not comfortable flying at this point. That is obviously different than with baby number one.

I think with this one, it feels like, actually, I want you to go first before I say. - No, I just, I listen, all you can do is rely on your gut here and how you truly feel, like, how do you feel? Okay, I was fine with you.

I thought you were going to LA and I was fine, 'cause it could not have been more fine with that.

“I think these babies are coming on their due dates.”

- Yeah, I'm just, what I, with the second baby, I feel like we've consistently heard anecdotes of one hook quickly they come and to that they often come early. And so that is definitely at the forefront of my mind.

And then when you overlay it with the outer responsibility

of taking care of Tate plus, like, you know, you being tired and nine months pregnant, it, yeah, I wouldn't be more, I wouldn't become true all being more than a driveway at this point.

And that's really a month out. And I would backtrack that to last week. - So let's, let's concise this. So you don't think that dad should fly or you're not comfortable flying

with the baby coming more than a month out. - No, I think that, I actually think this is something that is very situationally dependent. And I think that it all starts with what the mom wants and then I think everything gets backed out of there.

And so you've given the green light on this situation you gave the green light on my travel around baby one.

“And then I think it's up to the dad to adjust accordingly.”

And even if you said, okay, you're good flying with me flying right now, like, I'm not, I'm not good flying at this point. - Yeah, that's really fair and that's nice of you. The thing between baby one and two,

so baby one, you went to Chicago two weeks before I was due. - Something like that, yeah. - I was completely fine with it. I just laid him bed. It is different now because tonight like when you go to Houston,

I will be like chasing Bubba around and that is, sorry, that is harder on me, but I don't mind. I want you to be able to go. 'Cause if you don't go now, when are you gonna go? And I want you to go for the things you're going for.

I love when you travel for work 'cause I'm really proud of you around work. I love when you travel for something like a race because I think that's important to you and your goal, like your literal goal this year

was to get in good shape before the baby came. And like you crushed it. You actually, you're so good at setting goals and keeping them. So I'm good with that. - To be clear, if you had any reservations

I'm going, I wouldn't go. This race is not important at all in the grand scheme of things. - If I said don't go, you wouldn't go. I say go. - But the race is more important

than Scotty Schaffler's golf tournament.

“How far it out is the Scotty Schaffler golf tournament?”

- I did Google it. I mean, the tournaments tomorrow and his wife is due at the end of March, which is, that's also tomorrow. That's like, yeah, it's apples and oranges, but I'm doing the later part of a race, right?

- We're, I gotta give him a lot of credit. His he has been very outspoken about how much life matters outside of the golf course and how much she values, family and how much she values the diversity in his life. And so there's just no better way to show that

than with actions over words.

And so I ultimately think like, you know,

that one, it is awesome to see him doing this. And I also think it shines light on like, where his head would be in that tournament. Like, he just, even if he could physically play, him just mentally not wanting to be there.

- Yeah, if I was do at the end of March and you were going to do a high rock race like, no. But I think people are confused when I do. I'm do, I don't ever, I don't like to say the real date of when I'm do, but I'll tell you it's after April 15th.

- Yeah, it's like a month out and this was-- - It's less than a month out though. - This is book. - I can't handle it. I can't handle being a month out.

I can't handle saying a month out. - Well, up at any point, you need me back and back. - Yeah, I just don't. I just do not need you back and tell I do. - And you got a friend coming into town, which is nice?

And in the event that I need you back, you are a three-hour drive away. And I'm good with that. - I was green. - I was green.

“- There. - I was good with the flight away.”

So this is-- I, to me, we're just not in-- can I travel? Absolutely not. Can you? I think I'm good with it right now.

So I love that somebody asked that, but there's your answer. So we're in driving distance. OK, everyone, why your prenatal vitamin stays the same when your body changes so much during pregnancy. And that's true, you guys.

You got the first trimester, second trimester,

third trimester that's trying to conceive stage. And your body is not the same through all of those stages. Parallel is the first OB/GYN founded vitamin company. Each daily pack contains a comprehensive vitamin routine for your exact stage.

So they've got trimester specific formulas that can change with you from the first second and third trimesters. Their vitamin packs are stage specifics. So they even have a conception support pack to prepare your body for pregnancy.

I actually have them right here. And this is my favorite thing about them. They come in individual packs like this. So if you're traveling, you don't have to take the whole bottle with you.

You just take, let's say you're gone for three days. You take your three packs with you. You just rip it open. And you take your vitamins. Exclusive for our listeners, new customers

can enjoy 20% off their first order with code to parents.

Visit parallelhealth.com. That's P-E-R-E-L-E-L-H-E-A-L-T-H.com. So the next thing-- I guess how comfortable would you be with me

“being in drivers, in driving distance, up until the birth?”

So let's call it Dallas, San Antonio, Houston. You can't forget, like, I-- I don't have a flare for the dramatics. But I don't mind. I don't-- I don't need everything to be so orderly.

And how do I say this? I'm a lot more type B when it comes to that stuff. Interesting. Yeah, I don't need the nursery's not done. You know, like, don't mind that.

If my water breaks and you got to get here, like, that's kind of fun. I don't know. What a great attitude.

Yeah, I don't really mind.

Joe, can you look at flights to Vegas, please? Now that, if-- you know, if that would be a different story, actually, I still just honestly really wouldn't care. OK, taking away the pacifier. So a speech therapist-- so I posted a photo

of Winnie and Tate sitting at the art counter. And I was like, best day ever, like, these are the days. And Tate had her pacifier in. And I received a DM from a speech therapist. And I want to read it to you.

She says, speech therapist here, coming in with advice, no one asked for. Great way to start your message. Totally. Time to take away the pacifier unless she is sleeping.

While awake, she does not need it. And parentheses can use a stuffed animal for emotional support. In addition to creating a high platole arch, it causes jaw instability, weakness, and interferes with articulation development, speech sound

development. Sorry for being that person coming from a place of love and support. OK, her name is Rochelle or Rochelle. I read that DM.

And I thought, number one, you are a speech therapist. Number two, you have given me exact examples of why the pacifier should be taken away at this point. And number three, you ended it so lovely, just saying, coming from a place of love and support.

So guess what I said? I went to Harrison and I said, we're taking away the pacifier. I read on the DM. I said, this could not have been nicer. I love that she's got three reasons in here

as to why we should take it away. No reasons for keeping it. She also offers an alternative, give her a stuffy for love and support emotional support. But the pasties got to go.

And guess what we did, effective immediately. Texan Maria, I said, no more passy. And the passy and less tates asleep is gone. So then, I message our dear girl back. And I'm like, I said, I said, you weren't at that so sweet.

Thank you. I've known we needed to take it away. We will start tomorrow. I'm so glad you said something. Thank you.

Then I message her again. I said, wait, when do we take it at night? She says, I don't know your bedtime routine. But I'd say after kisses, stories, and cuddles, it's fine to let her have it.

Once she wakes in the morning, it can go in a special place just for the pasties to stay. And it can wait for her nap or her bedtime again.

“What I was actually asking is when at what age do we remove it?”

Then she says, eventually closer to two or two and a half, she'll be ready to win for me completely. Then you can have a grand send off of the passifier.

And I just thought this lady is lovely.

So that's what we're doing. So age gets her up in the morning. So I want to ask you how has the passy, because I've seen her during the day. Yesterday, a dance for one moment,

she asked for her, she calls her baby. She asked for her baby, and I just gave her a water bottle instead. And that was perfect. And so I want to know in the morning, though, when you get her out of the crib and leave the passifier

and their how has she been doing? I think before I get into that, I want to just reflect on how this all came about, because I think it's pretty interesting and probably pretty accurate of a lot of the parenting decisions we make.

So this is just a great example. I feel like so much of parenting,

“you're given a range of when you should do things.”

And so we'd always known that call it from a couple

months back up until two at some point, the passy was gonna need to go. That's what we've heard. It's what Dr. Brown had told us and so on and so forth. But it's always like, what's going to be the straw

that breaks the camel's back and actually forces us to do that? And I feel like there's no consistency behind that. Sometimes it's a friend that convinces us sometimes. It's our pediatrician and other times it's just like a random, really well articulated DM.

But either way, I always feel like it's one of us who buys into it and they go and they plant the flag, presented to the other person and then the other person buys in. And so like the whole way this came about, I thought was fun but also a great reflection

for how we are parenting style. - Yes, like you came to me with super high conviction. You showed me the message, I was like all right, I'm into it. And I feel like vice versa that's how it could have played out. - Speech delay, like our issues with articulation, done.

- Yeah.

“- It's gone and here's the thing, she's a speech therapist.”

When I can't stand, I love content in motherhood. We learn so much, I mean, are you kidding me? Last episode we were talking about play, kitchen, verse, real, kitchen. And then low and behold in the comment section,

we learn both are good, right? So we learned so much from the internet

and we always get on here and we say we don't know

what we don't know we're learning together. For her to come in and say I'm to not just be like, ooh, you still have the passie, like. - And those are the comments that don't land because inherently you just, there's no substance behind it.

- There's no substance and like I don't even wanna be your friend. This girl, I'm like, yes man. - This is very well articulated. So in terms of how it has been going, I think you nailed it during the day.

The days have been very smooth so far. I'll be at we only have two. So morning, one, and taking it out, I definitely wasn't as thoughtful about it as I should have been.

And so calming her, took like a good amount of time. What I did today was a lot more effective where the problem is is both of the past today's, we've woken, she's woken up with it in her mouth. - And usually she spit the passie out.

And so I needed to take it out of her mouth. So like, today when I was taking, she was fighting it over the mouth. So I gently got it out of the mouth. And then I put it down and I was waving goodbye to it.

- Bye bye. - But she wasn't buying into it. She was very, very sad, but the difference between today and yesterday is like, normally we go when we go downstairs in the morning,

we like take time to figure out what we're gonna make her for breakfast. And so yesterday, I'm go downstairs and like we're standing in front of the fridge. And I'm trying to be like, "Oh God, Bob, what do we want?"

And we kind of talked through some things. But she was just-- - Baby, baby. - All she wanted was the baby. Versus today, I was like, "All right, we're going down

and we're going cheese." So I'm like, "Bye, bye, bye, and right when I went to the stairs, I was like, "Cheese, cheese." And then by the time we got to the fridge, pulled up cheese, she got the cheese and she was happy.

- She got distracted. - Yeah, so she got distracted.

“So we're still early in, like, I think that the mornings,”

there's a bit of a transition time. Nothing too crazy. I just need to make sure that I get her attention on something else right away. Obviously no rocket science,

and I think I'd just set her right there. But the days she hasn't seemed to notice. Last night, she didn't notice it all. - No. - Then I before she didn't notice it all. So-- - Redirection is key, though.

- Yeah. - Just distraction, having your roll of decks of distraction, whether it's wheels on the bus or the water or a snack. - And I made a lofty presentation to you yesterday, which I, who knows how long this actually is.

- And we want to talk about it, I don't want to talk about it until we've been doing it for real. - Okay, so why don't we do this? Okay, 'cause we did it last night. We're trying something for seven days, drills.

to discuss it in seven days?

- Absolutely. - Sure. - And I will try to remember-- - We did do it last night. - Yeah, let me get it last night.

And I've been doing it in the mornings, but the mornings are trickier, but-- - Yeah, just ask us in a week if we've done it, 'cause I don't want to talk about hypotheticals. Now, speak together.

- And it's so lofty that, like, I don't think we're gonna do it. - I don't know if we're gonna. - I hope we do it. - Well, I think we should just tell them what it is now. - Nope, nope, nope, nope. Nope, gotta keep, gotta keep 'em come back.

We don't do clip hangers and as a reality TV expert. I was gonna say what we did do is we're all into clip hangers. - We did watch the show. - And I did watch some seven charm. - There you are, the babies finally escaped

Yes. So we watched two episodes of corporate retreat. I thought halfway through, I said, this isn't funny and I didn't wasn't getting it. And then I caught myself really loud to yell out a lot.

It's just not reality TV. So I think-- It's like skits. I think we need to come up with buckets, which is bucket one is don't watch.

bucket two is put it on if you have some time. And bucket three is need to watch. OK. OK. I've got one for need to watch coming from the comments.

Phenomenal? It's not reality TV. It's a show but it's paradise on Hulu. There's one season out. And the other season is airing right now.

“And I think we had like five comments all about paradise.”

Oh, down to try. OK. Down to try. This show to me, this jury is bucket two. Put it on if you have some time.

It's very, very different, which is what I like about it. It feels like-- if you like the office, I feel like you need to watch it. I agree with that. Because it's the office, but with a bit of a unique spin.

And where I do have to give it credit

is in each of the first two episodes.

There were two, three moments where we both audibly laughed out loud. Should we ruin one of them? No. Can we ruin one?

No, you know, you just have to remember one guy isn't in on the joke. And when you look at it through that guy's, it's hilarious. And there's a lot of like subtlety things that you may or may not catch.

Yeah, so it's-- I don't know. For me, I'm going to say this. It sits in my-- If someone says I haven't seen it, I'd be like, I don't know. I'm not telling you.

I'm not telling you, you got to go watch it. Well, what-- we created three buckets. Well, buckets. I'm in between-- I'm medium-rare plus. So I'm kind of in between two.

OK, it's a jewelry credit for a bucket. No, I'm allowed to be in between two buckets. I'm somewhere in between could watch and don't watch. Oh, wow. So you're skewed negative.

Yeah, I'm not saying watch it.

“Yeah, I'm saying if you want to put some on in the background,”

like, so be it. But if you put it on the background, I afraid you might hate it, because you will definitely miss this funny moment. And then you'll be like, what is happening?

Yeah. OK, mid, mid-- mid episode break for some lips. Just to check when I'm in trouble. Here's a-- they don't want to watch the lip. OK, that was a good one.

We've been doing group hugs with bugs, which is really cute. She loves them. OK, so do you want to talk about Southern Charm? Do I want to talk about Southern Charm? I don't really have anything on Southern Charm right now.

OK. I think the one thing though that I was thinking about is how weird would it be to film something, have a year go by, and then have someone else

And so my big question with all these shows

is how much of what they're filming actually reflects the true characters. Verse how much of it is the editing. And making people look in a good light versus a bad light. Yeah, because the problem with these shows is also you've got the social media lens.

So we already knew Craig and Paige broke-- broke up, broke up, broke up, broke up, broke up, like forever ago. And then you caught it on the show, but I've known that for, I don't know, what a year. Yeah, I'm here and a half.

So it's funny.

“We also see this with the secret lives of Mormon Wives.”

So much will happen on their TikTok pages and things. Jesse's husband filed for divorce. And we saw that in real time. But we haven't seen that air on the show. Yes, but what I did read about this today,

and when I say read what I saw in TikTok, was, I guess, she said I wanted a divorce. And he ran to the courthouse, filed for divorce, and then went to TMZ, I guess, she was on Caller Daddy.

Yeah, and let me tell you what, again,

I would take her side, ring so true. He is just-- And she dropped some stuff on escorts and cheating. Well, you know, she's got Jay-Z hairstyles. So she--

You know what that means? So she's got this hair empire. She's been the bread winner. Jay-Z, like the rapper? Well, spelled letter J, letter Z.

It's just the name of the brand. That is very confusing. She crushes it with this hair company. She also has her own extensions, et cetera, OK? Amazing.

And then, now she's got her influence her deals, and she's got her cast money. Jordan doesn't have that. So I don't know what happened in the last season, but there were some questions on the prenapping up,

up, or whatever. And I just think him going and filing, and then he filed a restraining order against her. I think she's just rolling her out. But the restraining order I also saw in the video was rejected.

As it should be. I guess I'll recap it, you know. So here's a question, a little hair update. I know my hair looks terrible today, because I didn't have time to style it,

but I did get it cut yesterday.

And I couldn't find my guy, and then I finally got him.

He wasn't trying to help on the booking. And you know how I liked my hair stylist, my guy, my barber, and he's leaving. He's starting his own salon. Good for him, and I loved an entrepreneur.

I booked my next appointment sitting in the chair. OK, his name is Dustin. OK, and I asked him why I was leaving. And he said that because they don't let him do like coloring for women and hair extensions for women.

So I guess he also does women's hair. Because he works at, you worked at this real classic barber shop. Would you give me a try? I would need to see, because there's a big difference between

some of the specializes in the blondes and brunettes. So I need to see his blondes. I need to see his blond portfolio. I need to see what kind of blond we do, and then yeah, absolutely.

I really like him.

“And I think he would do very good women's hair.”

But even maybe due to Jenny's hair. Hold on, here's what I-- Jenny's at the salon right now. I don't know, she's back. She's back.

Oh, she's-- four hours at the salon for Jenny. Good life. Good life for Jenny the dog. I have to say this about Katie Moore, because she does my blond right now here in Austin.

She's coming to our house this Saturday. She preemptively was like, you need your hair done before you give birth. Like, I do love my blond girl right now. Well, guess when I booked my next haircut-- when-- the day before you're getting induced.

So I could go to the hospital with an ice haircut. I think that's really nice of you. I like that. I like that. I also had a-- OK, fun little topic for me.

I had a Russian manicurist come to our house yesterday. And I got to say, so far-- I mean, we're only one day in-- so the reason I-- sorry, the reason I got a Russian manicure was I was going to my regular plays and getting dip.

And I-- this didn't happen to me so much with tape. My hair is growing like crazy in my nails. Truly, they were grown out in six to seven days. So I'm trying this Russian manicure to see if the last longer.

And-- but everything on me, like, grow and like crazy. This is so much nice. Sorry, I just got rid of the pillows. What's your Russian? No.

I thought she was. No, and our power went out. So I actually had to do it at the neighbor's house. Because our whole street's power went out. Which is why our clock was messed up the other day, by the way.

So I was on a call and-- to have the call on Speaker. And then the power went back on. And the TV came back on. And the TV was just blaring cricket. Like, like, crickets?

Or cricket. No, cricket, the sports match. And the announcer was just screaming.

“And I think it was India versus Pakistan.”

And it was just, because what is going on at your house? We got India, Pakistan, in the background. Have you seen Snoop Dogg and Kevin Hart commentating the Equestrian match at the Olympics? And Snoop's like, oh, the horse is cripp walking.

It-- I get that video like four times a week.

And I always watch it all the way through.

Everyone, I know is talking about GLP1, and it's probably the same for you, too. And if you were thinking about trying them, but then you remembered, oh, I preferred keeping needles as far away from me as possible. And you prefer natural options over injections.

So a lot, I put up a question box yesterday, and I was getting a lot of questions about if we're in the Tantrum phase, and it's funny. I actually had to ask Harrison, I was like, do you think we're in the Tantrum phase?

I never know if we actually are, we are officially in the Tantrum phase, and I don't think so.

What? I ask you this last night. I know, but why don't you go and then I'll go? Because I don't think so.

“I think that it's going to get so much worse.”

Right now, our Tantrums are 15 to 20 seconds. They are like, I can't recall, like, she rarely ever goes past a minute. She can be deflected so easily right now. I don't think that's going to be the case in call it at some point in the next six to all of us.

Maybe you could be correct, and I definitely don't think a sibling is going to help. Maybe that will throw a grenade and things, but the Tantrum I can think of right now, the example was when her and I went to the store, and we had the many shopping cart. We walked around the store.

We got our stuff, and then it was time to put the shopping cart up.

I mean, we just fell to the floor. I don't want to do that. So I picked her up. I carried her outside, but then I put on Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and we did we move Dawn.

And did that last more or less than 60 seconds? I don't know, because when you're in it, you're sweating. You know, you're like, oh my gosh. I don't know, 45 to a minute, yeah. So we're like, OK, OK, we're lightly in Tantrum based, and we don't know if it's going

to get worse. Can we say, well, just be very transparent with you.

“But a lot of people were saying, what do you do about it?”

And I posted this that I refer to broad busters. I love getting parenting advice from somebody who has grown children and studies like she's a what? She's well-petergraded. And so what she says to do with Tantrums is you don't reward them.

You don't, you just start doing something different. So a lot of times, all starts singing the wheels on the bus go round and round, and then Tate will see that I'm doing that. But what we're not doing is picking her up, trying to calmer down, like we're kind of letting her do her thing, and then we're moving on and we're not addressing it.

Because if we get on her level and we're like, hey, Tate, I know that that was really overwhelming. Like, she doesn't understand. Yeah, it's funny. I feel like you've been more, more thoughtful around this than I have. I feel like what I do is like, if I see her getting, she is so interested in so many things

that whenever I see her getting upset, I just try and find something else that she'd be interested in. Yeah, you go for re-direction. Yeah. As long as not, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, and then the

bye and a lot of. One up, not really thing, she's starting to put two words together. So now, instead of just doing upy, she goes upy bears, because I say, upy bears. And we're really learning like, like, please, more. Please, more for everything.

Please, twinkle twinkle little star, please play wheels on the bus. And, and, and, and if you're, and if you're not online, or if you're not on YouTube, I was doing sign language. Identifying people. Yes.

She really knows, like me, me, Wendy. That that mama, Tate, Baba, Tate, where's Tate, Tate?

Um, okay, on the tantrum thing though, we, we are experiencing them, yes. They are hard in public because you just want to start sweating. They are inevitable, every parent knows that.

“And I think that are waived of handling them right now.”

Harrison, we do, we do both try the redirect, but sometimes that doesn't work. And I think when that doesn't work, it's very just like, we just let it everything. They're doing it, start doing something different, and then she can catch onto that. But what the brat bus does girl says is, if you reward it, and rewarding it can be, getting down there saying, stop crying, like giving them attention in that moment, they will keep

doing it. But if you're not paying any mind to it, she says just like you're waiting on the bus, like you're just waiting on the bus. Yep. Makes sense in theory, the reality of how that actually works in a major tantrum, I'd be curious

to shake out. Maybe you have not experienced that. But she says if we're in a restaurant or something, we would take them outside. We don't let them tantrum there. We just take them, we just carry them outside, and then we can wait on our bus there.

The most confusing thing for her, and whenever I see a girl really upset, is her not being able to delineate between, because we eat all the same food as her, so when we are eating something that she's not allowed to eat, a coffee, or an alcoholic beverage, and then she

gets really worked up and so deflecting to another drink, that is always going to be ready

for it. She thinks coffees are smoothies. It's just better to keep the coffees away from her. Yeah. Iced coffees.

She does not understand why she cannot have our iced coffee because she thinks it's a smoothie. What? It's not. Yeah. So we're in there with you guys, because I think a lot of you are in it too, so if you were

saying like I'm dying in the tantrum phase, I do agree with you. If you though like ours aren't so bad, maybe with maybe they're going to get worse, maybe maybe my number two will be worse, like I do think it just boils down to it, but we don't pay much mind to it. And then you just kind of move on and then they see that, and I think it becomes, I think

they see that that tantruming isn't going to get rewarded, and then hopefully the ideas they do it less. All right. Shout out to our professors. Always.

I just love her videos. I think she's a wealth of knowledge. Okay, let's see what else we want to talk about. Oh, Hannah Montana 20th anniversary special. I just wondered if it's like all over your guys' for you page.

Never seen an episode of Hannah Montana.

What? But that's not weird though. I wouldn't have been able to tell you 48 hours ago that Hannah Montana was highly sorry. Okay.

That's jaw-dropping. I'm not surprised you haven't seen an episode. It's just like a cultural phenomenon. Yeah, it was a massive. It's not for guys.

I don't grow up watching Hannah Montana. Can we call one of your guys friends and ask them who played Hannah Montana? Yeah, they're going to have no idea.

“Do you have to call one that I have their number?”

Okay. So that leaves Alex cost. Can you just look at my text quickly? Here. No.

Your phone's over there. Call them up. Ask them. I'm just going to have no idea. I think I can call one of those people.

Have you not just seen like every single food brand like Elliot? He would know that. Jamie? No idea. I'm just in shock right now.

Jay? No, I've seen... Did your phone numbers I have? Jay probably wouldn't know. The, uh, what was I saying?

I saw the meme over the past 48 hours.

“That's why I say like I now know what's going on.”

It's the craft behind the cover and make every day feel intentional. So okay, so it's not something that you want to talk about. I think we should go. No, let's talk about it if you have something to say, I don't. My only experience with like when I hear Miley Cyrus, it's that Robin Thick song.

And I was at the VMAs when she wore that wild outfit. That's. And you know that that was just so much more intense because she was Hannah Montana. Yeah, see, I don't.

I thought it was like this woman makes amazing music.

Like got wrecking ball song was fire fire, all of her music is fire, the climb fire. I will say, so funny enough on Miley Cyrus, the I got Tiktok, a video of her singing Madonna's, I think, living on a prayer. That's fun. That's fun, Joey.

That is very embarrassing. It was Madonna song. Like a bird for the very first time. No. No.

Well, Google. When you call my name, it's like a little prayer. What does that song is? Phenomenal. She's so good.

Vocal powerhouse. And I was thinking at that point I was like, we're due for another Miley album.

“I know, I think Miley's doing her thing right now though and then she'll give us more.”

But I think we'll get an album and I think we'll get like a Taylor Swift level tour. I would love it.

Do you think she'll draw football stadiums?

No. And like, I'm OG, like. On your next tour, you know, really, really? Yeah. Oh.

And I'm like OG, Miley Cyrus Hannah Montana, like, that was my original, like... That's so surprising to me. I would have thought that she would have been in that tier. I would think Miley for sure is football stadium. Because I think that she would set, like, when I look at like the HV center here, I think

she'd sell that out in a snap. Because like Beyonce is doing Beyonce can do football arenas, right? Not a lot, yes. But not a lot of people can. Taylor Swift, obviously, can't do a arena as I think that she's just not Taylor Swift level.

Oh, bye. The Morgan Wallen can do, yeah. Morgan Wallen did his tour with football stadiums. Her music just isn't the level of Taylor Swift. Well, I'm not comparing her to Taylor Swift, whoa, whoa, whoa.

But I am thinking that if she launches a new album, do I have her side by side with Morgan

Wallen? Absolutely. No. Like, she's been launching a new song. So if I monthly listeners, I promise.

She's been launching, like, I thought, and this shows how to tune I am. I thought that she hasn't dropped an album since that wrecking ball out. No, oh my god, no. Yeah. And I'm like, OG, Miley Cyrus.

Am I by myself flowers? That one. She did that. Does Bieber do, um, he does football arenas. If he went on tour. Well, he isn't sure in a long time, but he absolutely will.

“Okay, so Miley Cyrus, how many monthly listeners do you think she hasn't spotify?”

Less than I thought. How many? 53.8. Million. Million.

Okay, give us Morgan Wallen. This is a playlist, hold on. Hold on, Morgan Wallen is 30. What? He's less. 36.2. Bad Bunny, he's going to be way bigger. I assume.

Bad Bunny is a 111.2. Yeah, I assume that. Well, we've got to do Taylor, just for context here. What? Bad Bunny is women Taylor. Taylor is 102.7.

Now it's to be on say. But I just assume that she had. Beyonce's 54.2. So her and Miley are even. Hmm.

That's interesting. I'm a fan of. Yeah, I would have thought. So my favorite live concert ever is probably Beyonce. I loved the Beyonce concert.

I saw her in Jersey. I've seen Miley Cyrus in concert eight times. Yeah, that's a lot. The reason that I brought this up that I thought you guys would appreciate is like the the Miley Cyrus Hannah Montana 20th anniversary special.

Like didn't exist. And she just started promoting it online. And then everyone got really excited about it. And then Disney greenlighted it. So she's just like just promotes.

Like if you want something to happen, just start promoting it. I'm so confused. That is so cool. I don't know if you just lost me. So so it's the 20 anniversary right now.

Yes. And what happened? There's like this big special that was filmed. Okay. And put on Disney channel.

Okay. It didn't exist. And she just started promoting it. They weren't doing it. They weren't doing it.

They weren't doing a special. Yeah, so they weren't doing a special. They weren't doing a special. They weren't doing a special. They weren't doing it.

She just started promoting it. She just started promoting a special that didn't exist. And then everyone got so excited about it that Disney had to make it happen.

I do appreciate that. Love it, love it, love it, love it. I'm all about that. Yeah. And then like the everyone showed up.

Everyone showed up. And she's spilling tea. The main thing that we learned is that she dated a sprouts twin. And we didn't know that before. You know, sweet love is that.

Do you have a Zach and Cody? I have no idea who this press tends are. What? Colin Dylan's brows? Okay.

That was sound like fake made up names. Sweet like a Zach and Cody. They were Zach and Cody. So the sweet life in Zach and Cody. Like I have definitely heard that.

“But I remember hearing that because one of my friends younger brothers had watched the show.”

Yeah, I guess these are more mod generation. I'm the two jewels. I watched these. I watched Tana. Yeah.

I just never watched Disney.

Did you watch Netflix? Cartoon Network? Yeah. What were you watching? What were you watching?

Did they have it? I watched Magic School Bus. I watched Arthur. I watched Arthur. Hannah Montana's for like 12 year old.

It's not for Magic School Bus age. I feel like at 12, I was probably watching shows for 14 and 15 year olds because of my sister. So I feel like at that point I was watching friends. Like, did you watch Lizzy McGuire? No.

I got power. No. I never heard of it. And I watched the movie for Rocket Power. Oh my gosh.

Wow. I had seen every friends episode. I can probably confidently say I've seen every friends episode twice. I haven't seen it. They're just like not comparable at all.

Yeah, that was a creative one.

“But that's what I was watching and like great it and great nine and great 10.”

Oh, I was watching Lizzy McGuire. Oh, we were obsessed. I mean, we were going to Hillary tough concert. And it takes a lot for me to go to a concert. Okay.

I'm going to talk culture guy. Yeah. Big pop culture guy. You're more into Southern charm than you were Lizzy McGuire. And that's okay.

I've got three weeks to Southern charm under my belt. That's what I need to do with Lizzy McGuire. So you had a long end of Disney+. Riffy shows. Rippum.

All the movie. I should watch it. What I'll say about Hillary Dopp because I'm very familiar with her name. So I must have listened to her music growing up. Because I remember when no.

What did she not make music? No, no, she did, but like. Not as her music as compared to like her television television. Was she Mean Girls? No, that's when Lizzy low hand.

What's going on with that come back? It's phenomenal. Lizzy low hand? Oh my gosh. So that was a win? Yes.

And why? She got sober. She's a mom now. She's like, she sure is best friend. I should curry.

Steph Curry's wife is the. Godmother of her child, I believe. And is she making. For your Friday too? For music.

Is she movies or music? She's moving movies. Is she making movies? She was in like that. She's not cheesy.

It wasn't cheesy. Lindsay, but I watched it because you were in it. It was a Christmas movie. Yeah. I don't remember what was called.

She was in two back to back years. She's making like Christmas movies and free gear Friday too. She's going to like come back. She's going to like dabble come back. She she doesn't need the movie money.

She.

And well and and here's the thing most importantly.

Nor do I think she wants to. I think that she she had a quote where she referenced like her childhood. It wasn't exactly what she wanted for it. I don't I think fam for her. She's trying to step away from.

I think Hollywood wasn't the best for her.

“And so I think that this new life is kind of motherhood era.”

And I think she's married to like a friend or something. I think so too. Yeah. Do you know who my number one crush growing up was? Amanda Bines.

Amanda Bines. That one. Yeah. I pray for that. I pray for her.

As well. Because that is. She that one's. That's hard to watch. But Hillary never had that moment.

Um Lindsey did but came back from it and Amanda we're still watching in that moment. And I'm hoping we have a come back from Amanda. The number one show I was addicted to in high school is Jackass. Yeah. I watched a couple of episodes.

Yeah. Nothing I loved more than Jackass. There's nothing that made me laugh more than Jackass. I like sweet 16. And some of those guys are starting to.

Yeah, I'm going to try this. I would try this just to see. But this is the thing that happens with this.

“When are we getting the plane that actually has these available?”

Yeah, so here's my take on this. This should be every single seat in economy. And I think the most-- You spoke waste of this? 12 rows.

Pardon? They're doing 12 rows. It should be the whole thing. And the way it should really shake out is when you're on an empty flight, you get to take advantage of all three seats and have it be comfy

as opposed to the way it works right now, which is when you're on an empty flight. And those three seats and you lay across them. And they're just like the seat belts are ripping through your ribs or the arm chairs or don't move up and down. So I actually think the most utility out of this is going to come from just planes that have have less row.

I need to see it. I don't know. What's that face? What do you mean less room? Thank you. Plains that aren't fully fall. Plains that are open.

Yeah, half full flights. But would I book this? Absolutely. Well, I'm going to book it to try it because I just think it's a cool way to see this before. So I'm all for the idea of a new seat happening. Yes.

I think it will be six out of ten flying experience relative to business class. The image that I saw of it with this headline

Not at all.

What you're describing to me sounds like the three seats just laying down flatter.

You only have the room of those three seats.

“Have you seen those kids see extenders that you can do for, yes, kids?”

It's like three of those. Yeah. And then you're just laying horizontally. Which is gone. It doesn't look great to me.

You're going to need to be in a ball. And are these going to be offered on flights that are three hours? No. I think the use case is going to be international flights, where you're north of five hours, and you want to be taken a bit of a snooze.

And I think as long as the price is reasonable and it's only a couple hundred more bucks, then people will love them. I think that it's more than that. There needs to be significant discount to a business class lie down seat. And those business class lie down seats are very expensive right now.

I completely agree they've gotten completely out of hand there. But I'm interested in this will I book it once to see, yeah, hundred percent, because I just got to know.

Do they get free alcohol and meals in these seats?

I don't know if there's any extra perks. Because that the meal. I would assume so. I feel like United Plus gives you free alcohol. But they don't do meal service.

Definitely not. Over three hours. Interesting. Okay. I don't open to this because I say definitely not.

I don't actually know. They don't do meal service. They don't. All right. Cool.

Okay. Things we DMed each other. I love this. There was a video about and there's a couple videos, but I picked the one that I like. The worst type of dad's according to a labor and delivery nurse.

So these are dad behaviors when giving birth. Okay. I watched this video. It's crazy. And I will say couldn't agree more with the lady who made them on all points.

So number five, the worst kind of dad in the delivery room is the gamer. When she's getting hooked up to her epidural to all of her, the penitows and ex, you know, XYZ. And he's asking where he can plug in his Xbox. Completely unacceptable.

Read the room. Number four, the answer man. So the labor and delivery nurses are asking the girl. Do you need anything? How do you feel? You like some food?

And he's answering for her. She's like, it's her body. She knows. No, you're real. No, you're real.

Number three, the stoner. He takes a walk outside and he comes back in either reaking of weed. Or she said most of the time just covered up with perfume. Which just smells up the room. Is this house severe of, of an act is this for it?

All of these to me are attend.

The first two are terrible.

“I think leaving the hospital room to go smoke a joint is fucking jaw-dropping.”

Yeah. Like it's jaw-dropping. I agree. Like that is, I mean, the first two, and I don't want to, I think the first two are ridiculous as well. But this one to me is like,

Then you come back in just like reaking. And you're just, you're, you're high in what is one of the most special moments of your life where it's your job as the male to sit there and just be supportive and be helpful in alert. It's just, it's bananas. Yeah.

Yeah. And she said this one will surprise you. Okay. Number two, the second worst is the dad on the phone. And she says he's taking a business call.

Almost like we're interrupting him. He's taking up the entire room. And she's about to give birth. Yeah. And obviously like a huge no-no.

I do, this feels different though like picking up a work call versus going and smoking a joint outside. But even picking up a work on the outside. Totally totally totally. It's like. Actually, you know what, I think the work can wait.

But if like one of our parents calls you, please answer it. But getting the corner hate, sorry. We're doing things. We're getting hooked up to machines. Of course.

Crouching the corner. Yeah.

“But do not by any, like you don't, here's the thing.”

There's not very, very many scenarios. Well, I'm going to be like, you don't need to be seen or heard. But like, does it like you kind of got to fade? You're, you're a supporting cast in this moment. And then the, the, the number one.

And it just makes me want to scream. It's the dad that sexualizes everything. So they're doing like a swab and he makes a three-sum joke. Observe. Get out.

Observe. I would throw my eyeships at you. Yeah. The, the, the birth, it's, it's like. It's, as the guy, it's not your time.

And to take away from that in any way is, is completely missing the mark. And I want to say this is one hundred percent. Both, both, this, this goes without saying. Like I even feel stupid for things. But like yes, of course it's both your baby.

Of course all these things. But she has to get it out. And I cannot explain to you the physical and mental pain.

“That you have to endure when you give birth.”

Like I'm starting to get nervous forward again. And it's just like if you are gaming answering for me. Like the best example I have of last time is my epidural wasn't working. And I really needed another one. And I was, I didn't, I just, I did not know how people survived this kind of pain.

And I said to Harrison, you got to get me another epidural. And he left the room. And I don't know what words happened. But all I know is when they came back in, I got my other epidural. And I was like, that's how you handle it.

Like don't argue in front of me. But just come back in the room. When Alex is getting that other epidural that will work. It's, it's, it's just all about you. And all about everything that can be done to support you.

And it shouldn't be, it's all about you. You want plain and simple. The sexual joke like I would lose my mind. Because it's such a vulnerable time for your body. They're all, they're all, they're all ridiculous.

You're just from those. Yeah, they're just, it's just, so I just thought that was crazy.

“And I bet as a labor and delivery nurse, you see it all.”

Yep.

You never know what you're getting.

[laughs] Or the dad. It's like, what about my bed? Just, no. Totally.

Nope. Okay. So then multiple listeners have sent us influence or Lucy thinks video on. And I, and I love this video. I have this hack for introducing toddlers to newborns without jealousy.

So thank you Lucy for making the video. Number one, when the child first enters the room, don't mention the baby. Instead, you just focus on them. So I love that. Okay.

Number two, place the baby off to the side and a bassinet. So your arms are free to cuddle your other child. Cuddle bummers. I know. This one's really cute.

I never thought about this.

Number three, arrange photos of the other child so tate. And the baby's bassinet to remind them that they're special and included. So put photos of butter in the other bassinet. And the baby voice bassinet. Unbelievable.

Right? Love it. This is a really, really, really good video. Yeah. Number four, transfer the baby calmly and intentionally.

Waiting for the older child to be ready and ask to specifically hold them. So, and I don't think butter is going to be able to ask. But she could be like, she should want to give bassos. Yeah. Kisses.

Okay. This is my favorite one. A family hug to signify that you're a unit. And we've been doing, so it's funny. We've been starting family hugs with bobs.

She loves family hugs. She smiles as she wants more.

“So I think this is, I think for us, this is a gold mine because she's familiar with a family hug.”

Yeah. I just, like, I can't get over her just like realizing, oh, my goodness. Like, there's another human that's not leaving. Here to stay. I don't think that she's going to understand he's here to stay for a while.

She feels like she owns, like, we're her property. Correct. Which we are. And she's going to be so happy to have a sibling. Oh, of course, of course.

There was this video that came across my desk.

And it was, um, to the mother who's afraid to give birth to her second child right now because she doesn't want to hurt her first child's feelings.

And it was like, I couldn't watch the whole thing because I was going to start crying. But it's just how good it can be. Yeah. Okay, number six, let the other child hold the newborn at home. But only when they want to, don't pressure or continually ask.

Number seven, don't blame the baby for not being able to attend to their needs. Okay, okay, I needed to process this for a second. So this is saying, um, if it takes like, I want Agua, Agua, Agua. We can't be like, hold on. I'm with your brother.

Okay. It's just one second mom's busy. Okay. Never blaming the baby. Got it, great tip.

Okay, so that's a good one because I've just, I've read that, but I'm just learning it. Um, include them in the care taking process. Yeah, this, this one, this one, I, I, I'll do my great, but this one particularly lands because I've just seen time and time again. The more we involve her, the, uh, the more she enjoys herself. And, and bunny enough, what calmed her the first day when we removed the passie was actually, uh,

so there were a bunch of dishes on the sink and I had to unload the dishwasher. And I got her involved and unloaded in the dishwasher. And she just, like, enjoyed it and it, she conjured up and responsibility has just been such a great, a great tool for us. And she wants that.

But my favorite, so we're going to take the photos of the hospital.

“And if we forget, well, have a family member bring them.”

And we'll put them in the bass and night with the baby. We won't be holding the baby when she comes in the room. Mm-hmm. Um, we will do a family hug. Yeah, I, I'm sure I'll probably meet Barbara outside the room.

Yeah, I'll. And carry her in. I can't wait. I can't wait.

And then the other thing I know we're doing is we're all leaving together.

Yes.

“Um, so bubbles will come on the last day.”

I just, I, it's funny, I don't want to be in the hospital for long. Whatever you want. I don't want to be away from her. I'm going to really miss her. Um, okay.

So that ladies and gentlemen, that kind of concludes the episode.

So we've got, um, yeah, we're got here.

We've got Harrison traveling. But by the time this comes out is back. And then we've got the pacifier removed. And tantrum. Thank you for listening.

Okay. Done. I don't, you're going to say it. Thank you for listening.

“No, I was just recapping what we talked about.”

Welcome to our home. Sorry. It's so messy. New episodes, Mondays and Thursdays. But what I wanted to do was not to study.

The Masterfighter has left Tabüchers soft behind the internet. It's so messy. I really hate it. I'm saying, you can't say that. Yeah, you have a story behind it.

But you don't believe it. That's right. It's true. It's true. But it's true.

But it's true. And if you work, it's true. Is it true? It's true. And if you work, it's true.

It's true. Let's go.
