10
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: folks don't want to talk about through the lens of

11
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: a millennium married couple. Dead as is the term that

12

16
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take us all the way back back in

17
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: the time, two thousand level. Okay, March, Okay, you was

18
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: big pregnant. He was big, big pregnant, big, big pregnant

19
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: human is pregnant. And at the time, you know you

20
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: weren't that big. Just kidding, right, But I think at

21
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: the time we had two cars. The time we had

22
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: two cars, we were living in the apartment and we

23
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: were both working. Yes, we did have two cars because

24
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: we're both working. Yes, still at MAC and I was

25
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: still working at Paris c Speed School. And I remember

26
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: we were going grocery shopping and we got the groceries.

27
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: Now listen to this story. All we got the grocery.

28
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: We didn't have no kids. We got the groceries. We

29
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: got to the apartment. I had a pregnant wife who

30
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: couldn't lift anything, and we had two cars. Codeine used

31
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: to have to park the car in front of the

32
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: in front of the church. Un let's pray it doesn't

33
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: get told. I would have to load the other car,

34
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: unload the groceries, double parked in front of the apartment.

35
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: Unload the groceries. Take the groceries upstairs, multiple trips. If

36
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: we had a lot of groceries, so okay, we'll go upstairs.

37
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: I would load them into the elevator, ok with waiting

38
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: the elevator, send them up, send the elevator back down.

39
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: I would load the groceries again, send the elevator up,

40
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: go up with her. Take the groceries from the elevator

41
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: and walk them into the apartment and then go back

42
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: downstairs and park two cars. The whole time i'm parking

43
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: the first car, I'm praying that the other car doesn't

44
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: get told from being in front of the church. And

45
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: we needed to cars both freelancing, so not freelancing, you're

46
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: working the long out. So UM at that moment, like

47
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: I remember this vividly, dealing with that those more, especially

48
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: towards the end of the pregnancy, I said to myself,

49
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: I'm never gonna have my wife be pregnant while living

50
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: in this apartment. Ever. Again, that was two eleven. Fast

51
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: forward two sixteen and seventeen, we had two more beautiful boys.

52
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: So that was besides the point. But during that time

53
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: I learned so much about how to get you through

54
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: the pregnancy that now I got all the answers. Sway,

55
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: let me find out. You made a list. I got

56
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: a list, y'all, a list all right? Now, let me

57
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: see how accurate this list is. This will be fun.

58
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: So for karaoke, I have a special song that UM.

59
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: Typically at black weddings, the grooms sing this song to

60
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: their mom to it, or they dance. Yea, they danced

61
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: with their moms to this song like, well, is it

Speaker 1: but of course my mother's down for the course. She's

67
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: you know, she's a revolutionary and she knows my love

68
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: for Tupac and as y'all know too because Cairo's middle

69
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: name is Shakoor. But um, this song here, I'm going

70
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: to dedicate to you because you are the mama of mine. Now,

71
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:31,480

Speaker 1: It is like your love is life from hears from

76
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: the starting is I don't know, I don't know, I

77
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: don't know the word. Just google the lyrics before you

78
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: try to sing. It's all about the melody. I don't know.

79
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 1: If you've seen my eyes started to water because you know,

80
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: what I envisioned Jackson getting married, and look at you,

81
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: look at the emotion. I cannot believe myself. Continue, go ahead,

82
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: cry you was like food to muscle guys home. Now

83
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: you see what I go through. This is why some

84
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: point to talk about this because so emotional, emotional. But

85
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: let me get to my list. It wasn't sing that

86
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: did that. You remember those days, man, Let me tell

87
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 1: you those days. I thought they were never being into

88
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: it and never being into it. Was a lot, It

89
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: was a lot. There's a lot. And then you figured

90
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: that was when I was pregnant with Jackson, so we

91
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: hadn't even had him yet. Then you throw Jackson into

92
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,119
Speaker 1: the mix. His grocery, there's laundry, there's this, there's a baby,

93
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 1: there's strollers, this car is that, And we literally vowed

94
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: like we're going to get out of this place before

95
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: we have another child. Five years passed, and then back

96
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: to back, back to back, three children in that apartment,

97
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: and then things got progressively more difficult. Though I did

98
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: learned about delivering groceries. Deliver groceries helps, That definitely helps.

99
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: Laundry didn't. That was the guy that tried to make

100
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: it in one trip. You ever seen a memesingers red

101
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: try to make it one trip, I'm trapped to be hurt,

102
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: and I like, I just get to get the door impossible.

103
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 1: But then it used to be the delivery man showing

104
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: up some wedding bullets like, oh my god, how many

105
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: people are you feeding in this house? I'm like, listen,

106
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: I got a house, three boys in a husband. So

107
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: when KEI fool decided to deliver, that was the best

108
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: thing that of never. I was like, I'm gonna paid

109
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: delivery fee without any problems. If I'm being honest, full transparency.

110
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: This list was not developed just because I'm like, I

111
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: need to take care of my wife. This list was

112
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: developed from my sanity, the list that you made as

113
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: a husband, as a husband taking care of some things

114
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: that I need. Let me explain to something these ten things,

115
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,239
Speaker 1: these ten things, and I'm putting on this list. If

116
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: every dude who has a pregnant woman that they're taking

117
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: care of it gets these ten things on his list,

118
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:40,679
Speaker 1: their life gonna be easier. Okay, Yes, to listen up, listen, listen,

119
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: I'm telling you listen up. Women, I'm gonna put them

120
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: in order from not least important because they're all important,

121
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna put them in order, from ten to one.

122
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: Number ten, number ten. Let's see how uber important pregnancy pillow. Yes,

123
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: m M guess that is. Actually Once again, Codeine has

124
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: not seen this list, so as I speak the list,

125
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: she'll talk about the importance of it. Pregnancy pillow is

126
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: important because of posture when you sleep. Most pregnant women

127
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: after a while cannot sleep on their stomach anymore, so

128
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: they tend to sleep on your side. If your back

129
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,559
Speaker 1: is not in alignment, you can't sleep well. The baby

130
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: will be on your blodder here here there. So a

131
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: lot of women tend to like wrap their legs around

132
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: the pillow, wrapped the pillow around their head. It's like

133
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: they hugged the pillow. Now, I used to be her

134
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: pregnancy pillow before she was pregnant. But what I was

135
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: told was that I'm too hot. He's too hot. The

136
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: body heat. She has no use for me. So now

137
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: why I'm discarded? Now, Okay, this is what that means.

138
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: Pillow him him. The pillow is him. The pillow is

139
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 1: like six to go all way down to the bottom

140
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: of the bed, all the way to the top, and

141
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: it wraps all the way around her body. So every

142
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: time I try to get close, I feel him it's

143
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: like a big candy case, just like blocking me. I'd

144
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: be like, yo, this is wild, like like why is

145
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: this do in the bed with us? You have not

146
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: slept on you or near you the past five months.

147
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 1: And then I'm not gonna lie. I'm not jealous. Are

148
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 1: you serious? You don't feel some kind of way? Can

149
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: we be? Can we be transparent? Here on dead ask

150
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: the podcast. I've gotten some of the best sleep in

151
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: the last two months because I'm not at the edge

152
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: of the bed because you don't want to be near

153
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: me because of the heat, so you all the way

154
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: on your bed. My bad, baby, I'm sorry. I'm sorry,

155
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: but I'm preparing. You deserve I deserved, maybe I deserve men.

156
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: It's throw none of the words. I deserve to know

157
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: the words pregnancy pillow Number ten, number nine, yoga ball.

158
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 1: Do yourself a favor, gentleman, gets her a yoga ball.

159
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 1: Once you get to the third trimester, She's gonna want

160
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: to sit down, but not She don't want to have

161
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: to feel any weight around her. She don't want to

162
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: sit on the couch and feel heavy. The yoga ball

163
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: allows her to feel bouncy, the buoyancy, you know what

164
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So it allows playing on gravity for a bit.

165
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,959
Speaker 1: It kind of takes because sit down here. Let me

166
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,719
Speaker 1: tell you. By the time I'm done an episode, tell

167
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: them I can barely walk, so the yoga ball helps. Plus,

168
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 1: while she's bouncing on the ball while you're watching the game,

169
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: two sites you want to see. Trust me. The question

170
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: is that you're gonna do some yoga with me though,

171
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: YOA doing yoga with you is how we got here.

172
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: Make sure you stretch, maintain the flexibility flexibility to obviously, yes,

173
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: we talked. We were to maneuver around the belly. If

174
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 1: you drop, pick up what I'm dropping. So I tell

175
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 1: a quick story. When I was playing football, I should

176
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: stretch every day, all day to three times a day.

177
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: Continued to stretch me. It was you know, my hips

178
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,719
Speaker 1: was real flexible. Right as I got older and I

179
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 1: stopped playing football, everything I do is linear because I'm

180
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: on the treadmill, run, I jump rope, so my hips

181
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: aren't as flexible. So as we were trying to continue

182
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: the hanky panky, as the belly was getting bigger, I

183
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: had to maneuver around the belly and my hips ain't

184
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: the same as that used to whole cramp in the

185
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: middle of the session. I'm like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,

186
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: wait once you ladies, when you hear your man go

187
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,599
Speaker 1: it's not good, it's two things. The one thing is

188
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: either he about to end the whole session or that

189
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: cramp is that Charlie, who are stuck in there? So

190
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 1: you you know it was bad. I had to massage

191
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: it out, and then you get back to got back

192
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: to business. You know, we're always gonna find a way

193
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: to get back to you. So that's number that's number

194
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: two right there. We got the pregnancy pillar. We got

195
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: the yoga ball, number eight on the list. Number three,

196
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,839
Speaker 1: being back, get the being back. I got downstairs and

197
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: then oh, yes, so we have yes, yes, yes, yes,

198
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: because yes the sack. What is it called the love side? Yes,

199
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: this this is becoming between You're not gonna pose that.

200
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: Don't pose that nasty. Your mother's gonna hear this. Look,

201
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: we should know not to listen to these episodes. The

202
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: love sack is good because it's like a memory phone

203
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: that she drops in and once again, like gravity, just

204
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: allows her to feel free. It takes all the pressure

205
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 1: off her lower back, upper back. Either they get in

206
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: their cuddle with me, or they flip. Yeah, they do

207
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: front flips and almost kill themselves. And k is mad.

208
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 1: So number seven, number four total, but number seven on

209
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: the list. I'll blanket, okay, And I'm gonna tell you why,

210
00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 1: because number six is air conditioning. And what happens is

211
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 1: KaDee will go from cold to hot instantaneously, and once

212
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: she puts the A C on Alaska, she'll be mad

213
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: at me if the blanket is not within arm's reach.

214
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: But the problem is, right that we're in existing here

215
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: with three adults in the house, right, and my mom,

216
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: being a Native Islander, always likes it warm in here, hot,

217
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 1: so she'll go through an entire summer with no A C,

218
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: no A C. So it becomes a thing where I'm

219
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,199
Speaker 1: walking past the thermostat right, and I'll go ahead and

220
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: hit the temperature down, So I'll go down to like

221
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: seventy seventy two just to keep it level. I mean

222
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: in our bedroom, maybe like sixty. It depends on the time, right,

223
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,199
Speaker 1: And then literally I'd be like, man, what is something's

224
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 1: wrong with the HVAC unit? Something I'll walk past, look

225
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 1: at the thermostat what does it say, Clarendon Jamaica. Mom

226
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: thinks she's home. You don't even be a number no more,

227
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: just be on hot. So at that rate, I'm just

228
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: like there's a battle. And then poor Devo. You know,

229
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: many times I woke up thought I had COVID, woke

230
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: up sweating with the chills, not knowing what the fun

231
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: is going on. I look at the dermostatic Dean got

232
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: it on sixty three. I'm like the Dean really really

233
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: just like you're not because you got all the blankets,

234
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: two sheets and him in the bed and I'm just there.

235
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: I'm just there like freezing, thinking like this something's wrong,

236
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: like this is not right. I mean, it's like the

237
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: warmth up here and the cuddle, but then it's like

238
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: the leg out. You always gonna have the leg out,

239
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: like the one leg out. And then I don't sleep

240
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: with any clothes on anymore at the point, because then

241
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: you get wrapped up in it and it's just too much.

242
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: It's just too much, y'all. So So now I got

243
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: seven and six is a blanket and air conditioning because

244
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: in the apartment, taking it back to the story, we

245
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: didn't have central a c. We had an air conditioner,

246
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: and we had an air conditioner in our room, conditioning

247
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: Jackson's room rooms, and the air condition the living room.

248
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: So if you walk from the living room to the

249
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: dining room to the kitchen, especially in the summertime, because

250
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: you've been pregnant the summertime twice, you would be sweating

251
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: bald by the time you go to the refrigerator. So

252
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: Codini would like go to the kitchen, she would be

253
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: in the living she would walk in the live room.

254
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: When I go in there, I'm like, babe, I thought

255
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: she's coming back. I'm in the fridge. I'm like, what happened?

256
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: She's it just got hot and I just do not

257
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: want to leave right now. She's just being a freezer

258
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: in the fridge temperature. I said, I'm going to make

259
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: my life easier on hers. I'm going to make sure

260
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: we have central a c the next time she gets pregnant.

261
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: That was one of the biggest things. Um, if I

262
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: had to put anything on the list, I would the

263
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: first thing I would say, is a house. You know

264
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Because it's a comfortable space. A comfortable space, right,

265
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: but I know pretty women on like stairs you don't

266
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: like to move around a lot. You don't like people.

267
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: So if you gotta getting elevator, deal with people in

268
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: the elevator, you don't like that. So if there was

269
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: one thing that I would say, I I didn't want

270
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: to put it on the list, because not everybody can

271
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: get a home. But having a woman in her space

272
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: is like the best thing. And that's what I always

273
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: told you. I said, I can't wait until the next

274
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: time I get you pregnant. I can have you in

275
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: your space where you can feel comfortable, which I feel

276
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: like you didn't promise that, And here we are, Thank goodness,

277
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: I've been very comfortable this time around. So now we

278
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: get into the top five. Right Those those other five

279
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: very very important. Let me recap those pregnancy pillow, yoga ball,

280
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: bean bag, blankets, air conditioning. You agree with those? Right

281
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: now we get to the top five. Number five very

282
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: very important, especially if your wife or baby's mother has

283
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: Melani a gallon of raw shay butter ah, keep the skin.

284
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: Let's oh my god, ahead ahead. Elasticity. Well, I couldn't

285
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: say that struggle moment. Struggle moment for sure, but no,

286
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: that is very true. I mean, people use many different

287
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: concoctions at this point. Um, for me, it's all about

288
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: just keeping the hydration. I don't really have a science

289
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 1: to it at this point, but as long as I'm

290
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 1: oiled up and greased uff, you don't really care, because

291
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 1: you know, I feel greasy all the time. I don't

292
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: mind it. But I know you used to have the

293
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 1: shade butter was so raw. It was like it was

294
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: like a brick. Like it wasn't the massage, but it

295
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: was a brick that I had to like press my

296
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: fingers in and get it out here. You got to

297
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: kind of like work it, and then once you work it,

298
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: it becomes the oil. And then once I put the

299
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: oil on the stomach, I used to rub the stomach

300
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: all the time. Do it now with all the different

301
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: concoctions you got, but make sure you get a gallon

302
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 1: of shade butter. And pro tip, don't forget to do

303
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: your legs, thighs, but like that whole upper hip region

304
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 1: because you remember with jack and that's the best favorite

305
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: part of course. But with Jackson, I was so diligent

306
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 1: about my stomach doing it all the time that I

307
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 1: completely neglected my upper thigh, not knowing like, oh, since

308
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna gain some weight there too. And of course

309
00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: I always had a couple of stretch marks here and

310
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 1: there after you always had, but it wasn't growing. But

311
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: then it definitely got a little bit worse. As there's

312
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: nothing worse about stretch marks. I'm meaning sorry. As a woman,

313
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 1: sometimes I embraced them and they are where they are.

314
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: But in terms of like the visibility, I feel like,

315
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: never meta, dude, ever, that's it. Damn shortly fine, but

316
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: she got them stretch marks on her thighs. I've never

317
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,360
Speaker 1: not one time heard a man ever say that. First

318
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: of all, I've never ever heard women say that. You've

319
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: never heard of women complain about marks, Not a woman

320
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: who's attracted to women. I've never heard another woman who

321
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: attracted to women saying I would talk to shorty, but

322
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: she got some stretch me internal never you know women,

323
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: you know, All I'm saying is is that I've embraced mine.

324
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: Because I've embraced them too. That means a lot to me.

325
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: I put them in I count them too. It'd be like,

326
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: do you know the checks? What does those calls? One

327
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: to three shang? Every time I see when I'll be like, yeah,

328
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: I did that appreciate badge of honor. I put them

329
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: stretch marks on them. It's so good. Um, I'm at

330
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: this point. I'm like, you know what, it's all good.

331
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 1: It's gotten me these beautiful boys and um little booty

332
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: low cake and I'll rock with it. You know what

333
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: I mean? It is what it is? Number four? Oh this, oh,

334
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: this one is important. Pregnancy band, the pregnancy band joint

335
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: that goes underneath the stomach to lift that. Yes, that

336
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: is a must. That is a must. That that right there.

337
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 1: Let me explain something to you at the end the

338
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 1: end the third trimester that her crotch is gonna feel

339
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,479
Speaker 1: like it's falling out. And it's pretty much because the

340
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: baby's like regurg to take the stuff. And I tell

341
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: you that I feel like my whole vagina is gonna

342
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,199
Speaker 1: fall out. And I was just like, you know what,

343
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 1: let me make sure that for baby number four she

344
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: has these things so that you don't have to be

345
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: stressed about you're gonna worry about it. Plus it just

346
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: keeps the baby tucked in the for extra weeks. It

347
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: provides a lift, you know, it takes that pressure off.

348
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: I can't imagine even like moms with multiples like, I

349
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 1: know someone who's having twins, and I was like, girl,

350
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: you have to get this on Amazon because that weight

351
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: sometimes and the way it settles into your pelvis. But

352
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: guess what, also, it helps with stretch marks because if

353
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: your skin is the only thing holding your skin and

354
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: your muscles obviously the only thing holding on to the baby,

355
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: and it's just hanging. The more it hangs, the more

356
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: stretching is gonna get. But if you have something holding

357
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: it up, you know what I'm saying, It helps the skin.

358
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 1: I told you, I got the I got the answer. Sway.

359
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: Don't never ask me how how because I know how.

360
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: Boom all right. Number three very very important because I

361
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: watch you do this every day. Get that woman leggings

362
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 1: in every single color, every color, like every single game maternity.

363
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: Enjoy it on Amazon. The ones that under your breast,

364
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,199
Speaker 1: those are great. They come all the way up, they

365
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 1: really do, and they grow they pretty much as you grow.

366
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 1: They will always cover. This is not the worst than

367
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: putting on ladies. Nothing worse than putting on some legings right,

368
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: and then the joints be rolling down on the side

369
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: and it's not rolling down on the side, and the

370
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: next new your underwears rolling down with them, and you

371
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: have to constantly be pulling eliminate that. Get you some

372
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: maternity legons, or at the very least, you put you

373
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: on my pants. See what I'm saying, I'll be doing.

374
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: You put on my pants, you sweatpants, everything, she's wear everything.

375
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: I literally spent the majority of my hometime pregnant. And

376
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 1: it's cool. It's cool. You know what I'm saying. You

377
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: know you like me your clothes. I speaking of clothes.

378
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 1: Number two, get mad onesies and I'm not talking about

379
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: that for you. You know that the gray ones that

380
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 1: you got, it's like a tank top. Oh yeah, yeah.

381
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 1: The reason why this is important, right, it's not so

382
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: much I do like to see you because the clappage,

383
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: the claps like a Maxi dress, but like the jump

384
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 1: suit version of it. It's like a pants Maxi dress.

385
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 1: It is, But I already foresee it's easy access for

386
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: boo bite baby crying, right when when you don't got

387
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: to get undressed, you don't gotta unsnap nothing, They don't.

388
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 1: I see, I'm you see what I'm saying. Plus it's

389
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 1: really forward thought. This. I wasn't expecting to this. I

390
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: thought you were going to do a funny list like this.

391
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: You're very practical. I'm because I'm trying to help people,

392
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 1: trying to help people, not just women. I'm trying to

393
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: help men too, because if they, if they four would

394
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 1: think this and they have these things on deck, when

395
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 1: their wives are significant others get pregnant, then they can

396
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 1: be like, yo, I got these things. And then you

397
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: know they're gonna be like that is true, should be

398
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: like did your research really moved me? And then he

399
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 1: could be like good. So now that she's good, he

400
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: can chill, because that's the biggest thing. If she's uncomfortable,

401
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 1: he's gonna being It's definitely it's giving, thoughtful, it's giving.

402
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: He's involved, it's giving. He's in tune to what's happening

403
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: to my body because I don't know that those onesies, right,

404
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 1: they're not the fleece onesies. They're like the claude, like

405
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 1: the T shirt onesies, very thin because you be hot,

406
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: but it covers your skin so when the a c

407
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: is blowing, you don't get cold. You don't want me

408
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: to catch your cold. The only person catching colds here

409
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,679
Speaker 1: are me me. But that's fine, that's fine, you know

410
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 1: you're pregnant. I'll just have a running fever for ten months.

411
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 1: Number two, I mean number one. It's number one and

412
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: the most important thing. I think people need to understand.

413
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: Pregnant women from the first trimester to the third trimester

414
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: to post partum need naps. Allow them to take naps, yes, naps, yes,

415
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 1: because then you had there's a point, at least for me,

416
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:02,719
Speaker 1: I know it's coming. We are Insomnia starts to kick in,

417
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: so I'll be up late and I can't sleep at night.

418
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 1: But then no, I have to be up at six

419
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: am with Jackson to getting ready for school, for example.

420
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: And then it's like that daytime that which I'm looking

421
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:16,719
Speaker 1: forward to when the kids are at school, Like that

422
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: daytime that nobody about me. The best part is I

423
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: woke up this morning and just sat at the edge

424
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,439
Speaker 1: of the bed. It was just like I am tired,

425
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: and I just swop video. I woke up. I woke

426
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: up this first of all, I woke up. It was

427
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 1: like an eerie silence, because typically when CADE wake up,

428
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 1: she's gonna wake up, she's gonna take a deep breath

429
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: along wolf. I hear phone scroll my head and her

430
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: nails clicking click, like I hear things. When I woke

431
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 1: up today, I heard nothing. It was just like it's

432
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: like aree silence, and it was like foggy in the room.

433
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: When it be foggy in the room, that's like a

434
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 1: sign and something up. I don't know where the fall

435
00:24:55,760 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: come from. I think you'd be steaming woke up. I

436
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: didn't move. I didn't make no sudden movements neither, because

437
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,439
Speaker 1: you don't want to make no sudden movements when you

438
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 1: have that feeling. So I'll look over and Codeine is

439
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: sitting on the side of the bed like the meme

440
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,919
Speaker 1: of the fox, Oh the fox. Yes, that was me.

441
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: That was actually had both her hands in her lap.

442
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: But what really told me that she was ready for

443
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: war was that she had her hand corn rows. Yeah,

444
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: I had two little friends. It's actually under this wig

445
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: right now. So I was like, she she got the

446
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 1: Cleo corn rolls right now. I couldn't do it to

447
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: you on camera. For those of you that eventually watched

448
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: this episode, under this wig in his hat right now,

449
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: it's madness. I just knew it was. Maybe at the

450
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 1: end of the episode, I'll show y'all just for kicks.

451
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: But I was like, yeah, you're gonna show them the

452
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: corn rolls, I might. You know, I got no shame

453
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,719
Speaker 1: at this point. You don't mean anyway, so clearly we

454
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: don't have no shame. But the thing is I asked her,

455
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:58,919
Speaker 1: I said, you are right, and she said no. So

456
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: I didn't know what to say. So I was like,

457
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: you need a hug. She was like nope. So then

458
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: I was like, what's you know, what's the matter. She

459
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:13,439
Speaker 1: was like, I just woke up and I'm tired, so

460
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: I don't know what to say. So I was like sorry.

461
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: She looks at me, she said sorry, and so you

462
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: got like, seriously sorry, as you're still laying in bed,

463
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 1: I don't know what to say. I know what to say.

464
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 1: So that made number one on my list because clearly

465
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 1: she tired, so she need naps. Do you feel like

466
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 1: I missed anything that was very thorough? I thought at

467
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 1: first when we were going into this episode, I'm like, oh,

468
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 1: that was gonna be with the Shenanigans and have like

469
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: funny stuff, you know, But this is like a really

470
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,959
Speaker 1: practical list. I'm actually very proud of you. You're very observant.

471
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: I mean, at this rate, I would I would hope

472
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 1: that you are um. My question is what you want?

473
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: What you mean? What I want? What you want? Because

474
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,120
Speaker 1: you try to be all cute with your little list

475
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 1: and whatnot what she wants? You know what, I'm gonna

476
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 1: make a list to how about that? Make a fine

477
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: make a list next week where you have a list

478
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: for me next week, I'm gonna have a little really

479
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: what I want? What would just be nice once in

480
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: a while? Thank you? Oh yeah, I do say thank you.

481
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,439
Speaker 1: Though you said thank you maybe six times in the

482
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: last seven months. I mean that's averaging one of months.

483
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. When you let me tell you, I

484
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: would bring Kadina blanket, lift up her feet, do all

485
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 1: this other stuff, and she would just be like, that

486
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: is not true. I do say thank you. Maybe I

487
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: feel so much better thank you, especially when you get

488
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 1: my flips and my inversions and stuff you want to

489
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: say thank you? What you're saying? I feel bad you

490
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: have to do all of this, and but so many

491
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: words thank you. Don't you get it? And nobody else

492
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 1: sees it. She's like, I feel bad for all of this,

493
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: but can you but can you go get I'm like,

494
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: all right, all right, what what does you mean? That's

495
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: when I started blinking because I'm like, everything, Babe, I

496
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: appreciate you. This is amazing. I mean the care is

497
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:14,919
Speaker 1: the TLC for me, you know, the attentiveness. Yeah, and

498
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: it's and ultimately, I think at the end of the

499
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: day's teamwork, right. Um. The only thing I would say

500
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: is maybe if you had to add another one access

501
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: to Uber eats, seamless, any kind of food you eats

502
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 1: around here me. But I mean sometimes sometimes though, if

503
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: you don't feel like going now, I'd be like, yeah, baby,

504
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: let's just I'm feeling for this. I need access to

505
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: like cravings and snack food. That's definitely something that should

506
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: be on the list too, but that varies from day

507
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: to day. She'll be like, she'd be like, Babe, you

508
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: feel for Chick fil Ach. I'd be like, I'd be like, yeah, yo,

509
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: like I could get me a solid and thirty chicken nuggets,

510
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: get the gallant of the And it should be like,

511
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: you can use my card and I'm supposed to be

512
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: like my my payment, you can you can use my

513
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: car that's then linked to your cards, linked to my account.

514
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: This is what I'm racking up them a max points

515
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: for you boo. So after this baby drops. We can

516
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: go on the real like I'm gonna be honest vacation,

517
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: how about bad? I do not here what you ask for.

518
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: I am proud that I'm able like this for your

519
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,959
Speaker 1: fourth pregnancy, to be able to have you in this

520
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: crib and be able to just be able to get

521
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: everything on the list and know what you need before

522
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: you say it, and be able to be like hi, right.

523
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: It makes me feel good because we struggled, like at first,

524
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying struggle, like it was just a struggle,

525
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: like when you're not when you don't know what to

526
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: plan for with a pregnancy and you live in an

527
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: apartment and you got two cars and you go to

528
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: at groceries and now you pull up and you're like, fuck,

529
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: she can't help carry none of the groceries. And then

530
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: and then it's like damn, like I really didn't think

531
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: any of this through, or you're about to go into labor,

532
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: or your back at her and you're just sitting there like, damn,

533
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: I wish I had a you know what I'm saying

534
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: That recently happened to a friend of ours having a baby.

535
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: We were like, does she have a ball that she

536
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: can mount? While she's in labor. They were like, no,

537
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: we needed that. Oh I'm calling her, like, yo, send

538
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: whoever's not staying in the hospital with you to your house.

539
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: Get the yoga ball, a sap that's gonna help her

540
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 1: with labor. But I remember thinking all of these things

541
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: when your first time you're pregnant, thinking I wish I

542
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: had this, I wish I had that, I wish someone

543
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: tell me. But being comfortable being at this point now,

544
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: pregnancy don't feel as bad, you know what I'm saying,

545
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: because we've prepared and these things aren't expensive, like a

546
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: pregnancy pillow, yoga ball, being back, a blanket, you know

547
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Gallant shape butter, a pregnancy band, these

548
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: are the and leggings. These are things that you can

549
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: get on Amazon or you can get anywhere Target. Target,

550
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: once you find out the first month of pregnancy, get

551
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: all these things. It just makes it easy, especially when

552
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: we have to run somewhere. What you don't want to

553
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: have happened to, gentlemen, is you try to go somewhere

554
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: with your dear lady and she's pregnant and can't find

555
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: something to where. But if you got that will keep

556
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: my ass at home. Exactly. Don't invite me nowhere because

557
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: I'm not going right now. We don't invite me because

558
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 1: I'm a fel away. If you don't invite me, and

559
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: then so invite me, but I'm not coming. Thanks though,

Speaker 1: I am super comfortable each time around. It just gets

566
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 1: better and better and better. So don't try to get

567
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: me pregnant again thinking that pregnancy M five is going

568
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: to be out this world because it's a no for me. Dog,

569
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: it's a no for me. Do I have to speak

570
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: on that now? Don't be looking. Don't do it because

576
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: with listener letters, diving and go first all right, hello

577
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: to both of you. Have been following you guys since

578
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: the Christmas tree that stays up for all holidays, that's me.

579
00:32:58,520 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: And now we're about to have about four or five

580
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: mysteries up here here, God help us all. It won't

581
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: be one of the man that I can make a

582
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 1: really cute, decked out one for you. Anyway, let me

583
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: get to the point now, Okay, I truly love you

584
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: guys in your family. Anyway, let's get to the point.

585
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: My husband and I have been married for fourteen years now,

586
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: and we married earlier in our lives, especially my husband.

587
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: I'm eight years older than he is. All my marriage

588
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: isn't bad, so I won't put that in on our title,

589
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: but sometimes it's questionable. My husband is a great man,

590
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: a great dad, a great provider, a big supporter, and

591
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: literally my very best friend, but he lacks empathy and compassion.

592
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: I think it has a lot to do with his

593
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: upbringing bringing. See, my husband and I lost six children

594
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: to spontaneous miscarriages, and still points Brown's early up in

595
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: our pregnance in our marriage while we were dating. I'm

596
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 1: sorry to hear that. So it changed me in more

597
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 1: ways than I could imagine. But we finally have our

598
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: rainbow babies, who are nine and eight at the moment.

599
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: Congrats um. But we still feel conflict about the children

600
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: because he feels like I'm overprotective, he feels like I

601
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: baby them. He feels like my life doesn't fit with

602
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:15,280
Speaker 1: him anymore. Or he says I only care about the children,

603
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: not my husband. I promise you that's not true, because

604
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 1: I'm madly in love with my husband as if we

605
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: just met. I just feel like if they need more

606
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 1: of me, or they need more of me because their

607
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: children and with dealing with all of our loss, I'm

608
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: going to protect them till the day I die. What

609
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:34,919
Speaker 1: should I do or what can I do? It's hard

610
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,280
Speaker 1: to balance my babies being young. He gets mad sometimes

611
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: if we're in the living room talking and my baby

612
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 1: is coming and ask me for a hug. Then makes

613
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: me and then then that makes me mad, and now

614
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 1: him and I are upset at each other. I'm so confused.

615
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: I don't want to make my husband feel neglected, and

616
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 1: I don't want my children to feel like I'm neglecting them.

617
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:58,359
Speaker 1: Help me if you can, all right, So, Sis, I

618
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: understand that it's probably really difficult to deal with um loss.

619
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: I understand loss as well. UM, and I'm so happy

620
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 1: to hear that she has an eight year old and

621
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 1: what was a nine year old now, which is great.

622
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,919
Speaker 1: But just as much as those babies needs you, your

623
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: husband needs you as well. Like you have to remember

624
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 1: that you guys were together for married fourteen years. I'm

625
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 1: not sure if you're here together long before that, but

626
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: everything started with the two of you. So the fact

627
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 1: that you're neglecting him and you have him kind of

628
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: pushed to the side, I can completely understand why he

629
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:39,399
Speaker 1: feels that level of neglect. UM. Personally, Divin and I,

630
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 1: we don't believe in babing our children. As much as

631
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 1: we love and adore them, UM, we don't believe in

632
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,720
Speaker 1: that babying thing because we feel like that's just something

633
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,240
Speaker 1: that they're going to have to not be accustomed to

634
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 1: as they grow in dealing with the real world. UM.

635
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, I know Devo feel strongly about this too,

636
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 1: because we've had that discussion before. We've had this discussion,

637
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 1: and I don't think that it's UM, I don't think

638
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 1: that it's uncommon. I think it's only natural when when

639
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 1: you have a being grow inside of your body, and

640
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 1: then comes outside. It's almost as if your heartbeat is

641
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: walking around with arms and legs. So your first instinct

642
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 1: as a mom is to protect like and that's not

643
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:23,240
Speaker 1: just humans, that's any species. The mother is the most

644
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: protective of the cubs. So that to me, I understand.

645
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 1: But um, what tends to happen is that being your child.

646
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 1: Now trump's the person who you're creating a life with,

647
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 1: which you have to remember at some point that child

648
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 1: is going to grow up and go on and have

649
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: their own life, and then you're going to be left

650
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 1: there with your partner that you're supposed to build a

651
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: life with. So for me, number one, the first thing

652
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 1: she says is he hates when we're talking and the

653
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 1: child comes up and ask for a hug. A lot

654
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: of times children tend to do that because they just

655
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:55,799
Speaker 1: want whoever's attention. If the attention is not on them,

656
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:57,839
Speaker 1: they want the attention. Condine and I have a thing

657
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,080
Speaker 1: where if we're having a discussion, our children just and

658
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 1: walk up in between us and just start talking to us.

659
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: First of all, you have to say excuse me. Boundaries,

660
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: of course, you have to say excuse me. We have

661
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 1: to acknowledge that we recognize that you're standing there before

662
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: you can just come in. Because Number one, if we're

663
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: discussing something that you shouldn't be hearing, you can't just

664
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: sit around and listen to that. Number one. Number two,

665
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: you have to understand that your mom and I have

666
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: a relationship, and you don't get to just come into

667
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 1: the relationship and say everything is gonna go my way,

668
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 1: because as they become adults, they're gonna then become entitled

669
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 1: or feel entitled to everyone's time when they want it.

670
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 1: That's not the way the world works. And you have

671
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 1: to start children from young. You know, we our youngest

672
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 1: now Kas is three. Kas knows and he had to learn.

673
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 1: In the very very beginning, Kas would walk in. We'd

674
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 1: be talking and he would just walk in and hug

675
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: and jump on us. Now it's like, hey, bro, you

676
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: gotta say excuse me. You see me and mommy talking

677
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 1: all right, we're talking, you say excuse me if it's

678
00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 1: not an emergency, and you just want my attention to

679
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 1: do what kids do? Look what I can do, and

680
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 1: then they don't do ship, don't step conversation to do

681
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 1: some wild could not gonna be pissed like you didn't

682
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 1: stick the landing. You know what I'm saying in the

683
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 1: middle of a conversation to say, look what I can

684
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 1: do when you fell? Nobody parents remember what it's rung

685
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,399
Speaker 1: with this kid. So you know, it's important to clay

686
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,359
Speaker 1: boundaries with your children, you know, and in turn they

687
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:34,399
Speaker 1: also learn how to you know, self suiting and out

688
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 1: of respect. Self suit is very important as well too

689
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 1: for children and being eight and nine, they're little, but

690
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 1: they big. The big eight and nine is big. They

691
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 1: get in on fire. Do not come in the middle

692
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: of me and your mother conversation. That's the brothers not drowning.

693
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: It's like, if something's not dire, don't just run up

694
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 1: and hug me or your mother while we're having a conversation.

695
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 1: It seems like her husband is trying to say he's

696
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: a great man, a great dad, a great provider, a

697
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: big supporter. He's literally your best friend. So let's lean

698
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,839
Speaker 1: on that a little bit more. I'll say this too.

699
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: If he's all of these things and she can acknowledge

700
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 1: it, it it sounds like he's the type of the type

701
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 1: of guy who wakes up in the morning and wants

702
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: to make sure his wife is good. It is very difficult,

703
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:16,319
Speaker 1: Kadina and I have gone through this to wake up

704
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 1: in the morning and be the type of guy to

705
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: make sure that your partner is good and always feel

706
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: like no one is making sure you're good, feel feeling

707
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 1: disregard like. It's very difficult for anyone to wake up

708
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 1: every morning and constantly do that and always be put aside.

709
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 1: And it's not always men. Sometimes there are wives who

710
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 1: wake up and they're always like, let me make sure

711
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 1: my husband is just make sure it's this, And he

712
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:38,399
Speaker 1: may go out be a provider, but he comes back

713
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 1: and never checks on his wife. That's difficult for that

714
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,399
Speaker 1: person to constantly give and give and give and never

715
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 1: feel that reciprocation. So if you know miss that your

716
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 1: husband is all of these things, and you know for

717
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 1: a fact that you've disregarded him, that's a change you're

718
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,919
Speaker 1: gonna have to make because it's not fair. Yes, absolutely,

719
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: very well said. I agree. I think we're both on

720
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 1: the same page with Yeah. So the empathy and compassion

721
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:03,800
Speaker 1: that you say he lacks, I feel like you lac

722
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: tusis um. Yeah, try putting yourself in his shoes for

723
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: a little bit. And I wish you all the best. Yes,

724
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 1: number two. I've been a fan of both of you

725
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:14,959
Speaker 1: ever since I saw your video of k giving birth

726
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,399
Speaker 1: in the pool and your home in Brooklyn. Appreciate that

727
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:19,439
Speaker 1: I love the narrative that you guys are pre sharing

728
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 1: a black family and black marriage. Please continue to provide

729
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,800
Speaker 1: the positive, uplifting content. I'm emailing because I'm still a

730
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 1: virgin and I just turned thirty a couple of months ago.

731
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 1: In high school and during undergrad I was looking for love,

732
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:32,839
Speaker 1: but never found someone that I felt a true connection with.

733
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 1: After undergrad, I told myself that God would send love

734
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 1: my way when I was ready, and in the meantime,

735
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: I would focus on my own self development. That's smart,

736
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: so I started working and started grad school. I dated

737
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: on and off throughout my twenties, but still haven't found love.

738
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 1: So I put all of my focus into saving, building

739
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 1: my credit, becoming the best version of myself, and establishing

740
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: a solid foundation. Now I'm thirty and still haven't found

741
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,879
Speaker 1: anyone special. Yeah, I heard of stuff out there. Um.

742
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,800
Speaker 1: I'll be graduating with my second master degree in December.

743
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 1: I keep myself up and work out with the trainer

744
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: three times per week to stay in shape physically. I

745
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 1: thought that eventually I would attract the right one, but

746
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 1: so far, no luck. I want to have intimacy and

747
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: a real physical and mental connection with a man. But

748
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 1: at this point I am tired of waiting. I already

749
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:20,359
Speaker 1: know what the problem is. Should I continue to hold

750
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 1: out or just find someone to satisfy my physical needs?

751
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 1: Also devout, from your point of view, is a thirty

752
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 1: year old virgin to turn off to man? My virgin

753
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 1: status isn't something that I divulge off the mm hmm, Well,

754
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:36,359
Speaker 1: she seems to have a lot of things together, but

755
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: this is the thing. It doesn't sound like she's deliberate

756
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:43,720
Speaker 1: about finding someone. It sounds like she's just sitting back

757
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 1: and waiting. And she said, God will provide. You ever

758
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,319
Speaker 1: heard the story about the man on the boat. There's

759
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 1: a man on the boat. The boat has holes in it,

760
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:56,800
Speaker 1: it's sinking. Boat comes by, says, hey man, your boat sinking.

761
00:41:57,120 --> 00:42:01,479
Speaker 1: You need help. He goes, Nope, God will provide. Boat

762
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 1: flies on. Second boat comes on, hey man, you need

763
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 1: to help. You both thinking nope, God got me. Boat

764
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 1: goes on. Third boat comes said, yo, dude, you're about

765
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:18,240
Speaker 1: to drown. You need help. He says, while he's drowning, right, dude,

766
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:22,800
Speaker 1: dies those to heaven. Says, yo, God, don't you have me?

767
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 1: He said, I sent you three boats, you dune me.

768
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 1: It's the same thing. You have to put in the

769
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 1: work and be willing to accept what God has given.

770
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,799
Speaker 1: You can just sit back there and wait. Right. And

771
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:38,879
Speaker 1: it seems that she planned everything out from her master.

772
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 1: She has two master's degrees, she's a trainer, she's in shape,

773
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: she's all the things. But what are we actively doing

774
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 1: to find what are you going? Where we're going? Are

775
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 1: their mutual friends? I always like to think of like

776
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 1: mutual friends that might potentially work, says, I don't know.

777
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 1: Hit us up, you know, send me your pay, send

778
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:57,279
Speaker 1: me a picture, let me see, let me see what

779
00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 1: we're working with me see we can have any matches

780
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 1: going on. I would say this, you have to be

781
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 1: as forceful and speak as much truth to power and

782
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 1: deliberate about finding love as you are about getting a

783
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:10,399
Speaker 1: master's degree in working out that you got to put

784
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:13,320
Speaker 1: in the work. You have to put in the work.

785
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: The thought that you're just gonna sit back and then

786
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: just a guy is going to come out nowhere, or

787
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 1: a girl is gonna come out of nowhere. It's just

788
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:24,880
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. You have to be deliberate, and if

789
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,839
Speaker 1: you're looking for a certain type of partner, you have

790
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:30,360
Speaker 1: to be deliberate about where you're looking for that type

791
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 1: of partner. Exactly, you know what I'm saying. So that's

792
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 1: what I would say. Because she sounds like she's a

793
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: great catch. Yeah exactly, I'm like, she's thirty now and

794
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 1: all that. And I don't think the virgin status is

795
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: a turn off because she asked about that. Do you

796
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 1: think it's a turn off for a man if he

797
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 1: finds out that I don't. I don't think so, to

798
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: be honest, no, I mean, and here's the truth. There

799
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 1: is somebody for everybody. You're gonna find guys would be

800
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:52,839
Speaker 1: like at thirty, I don't want a version. There's gonna

801
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 1: be some guys like a thirty I would love to

802
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 1: get a girl woman who's a version. She hasn't been

803
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 1: with anybody else. So there's always somebody for somebody. So

804
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 1: if you ever trying to create a generalization about what

805
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:05,959
Speaker 1: is good for one person, that's never gonna happen. Don't

806
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 1: focus on what other people are saying, but be deliberate

807
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 1: about who you're looking for. That is a fact, all right.

808
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:14,399
Speaker 1: I'm just happy I'm not in these Dayton streets. Man.

809
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 1: I've heard that it's pretty difficult out there, so best

810
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 1: of luck to use this. If you want to be

Speaker 1: for anticipating my needs before I even know what they are,

821
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: and even when I don't know what my needs and

822
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 1: wants are in that moment, just providing me grace and

823
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:02,319
Speaker 1: options and always looking to find a way to alleviate

824
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 1: any sort of stress or any sort of tension or

825
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 1: pain that I may be feeling. I mean, you went

826
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:09,720
Speaker 1: as far as to move your mother in law into

827
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:13,879
Speaker 1: our house. You went as far as to moving my

828
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 1: mama into the house. Can we say that one more

829
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 1: time so people can understand the level of sacrifice to

830
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 1: move in my mom to just ensure that I have

831
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 1: extra help and extra assistance with the boys. So that way,

832
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 1: this time around, everything was that much smoother. In addition

833
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 1: to you still being a super active dad, a super

834
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:38,400
Speaker 1: active and attentive husband, and still working and booking the

835
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 1: lead role, booking the lead role. So that's what we

00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:46,680

Speaker 1: it's so worth it because we're gonna have four beautiful kings.

849
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 1: But before the boys, before anybody you're worth it, like you. Seriously,

854
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 1: this week was hot and uncomfortable to listen. I'll be trying.

855
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 1: I'll be trying to keep it cute for you, and

856
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:09,319
Speaker 1: keep it cute for y'all, But there comes a point

857
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:15,360
Speaker 1: in time where enough, it's enough enough, still cute you

858
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:18,480
Speaker 1: my moment of truth. But I don't care. I'm sorry.

859
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:24,879
Speaker 1: I wonder moment that moment of truth. Your mother, it's

860
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 1: a huge help. Oh my god, amazing. I like the

861
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 1: best thing about having a mother in law like your mom.

862
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 1: She knows how to be involved and stay out of

863
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 1: the way, because you know, some mothers in laws like

864
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:43,800
Speaker 1: to mothers in general, like to just be in everything.

865
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 1: Or you asked me for my help, I'm not here.

866
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 1: Your mom likes to be helpful but not be overbearing,

867
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 1: which made it so easy for her to be and

868
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:57,879
Speaker 1: we wouldn't be able to do everything we got going

869
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:00,360
Speaker 1: on if it wasn't for your mother. Actually, so if

870
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:02,880
Speaker 1: y'all ever hear somebody randomly coughing or like stomping in

871
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:06,280
Speaker 1: the background. It's me, MEI me, me, trying to be quiet.

872
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:08,800
Speaker 1: But you know, she don't know what that means. But

873
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 1: I love you too, thank you, and I you and

874
