WEBVTT - And I Shall Name Him...

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.040
<v Speaker 1>He is going to be perfect, and I shall name

0:00:02.120 --> 0:00:03.520
<v Speaker 1>him Jack Joe Michael Hanson.

0:00:03.720 --> 0:00:04.560
<v Speaker 2>It's One more Thing.

0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:12.040
<v Speaker 3>One More Thing, Hey, Katie Green lead One More Thing podcast.

0:00:12.080 --> 0:00:13.360
<v Speaker 3>What do you have for us, Katie?

0:00:13.840 --> 0:00:17.239
<v Speaker 1>Just a little update on my baby making process.

0:00:18.239 --> 0:00:20.760
<v Speaker 3>I think I understand it. I don't want to put

0:00:20.800 --> 0:00:22.279
<v Speaker 3>too fun a point on it, but there's the whole.

0:00:22.480 --> 0:00:25.120
<v Speaker 3>There's a penis, a vagina, there's a oh good lord,

0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:28.760
<v Speaker 3>you know, probably a little uh, drinky poop, maybe a candle,

0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:29.440
<v Speaker 3>some music.

0:00:30.080 --> 0:00:33.760
<v Speaker 1>You have no idea how subtlety you're excused. Yeah, you

0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:35.919
<v Speaker 1>have no idea how bad. I wish that was how

0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:36.800
<v Speaker 1>this was going.

0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:38.639
<v Speaker 2>But that's not the way you're doing it. You're doing

0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:39.680
<v Speaker 2>for the for.

0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:41.360
<v Speaker 1>Those of the of you that are just tuning in

0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:44.640
<v Speaker 1>or don't know. I am going through infertility or IVF,

0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:48.920
<v Speaker 1>and the reason being is because I have a hereditary

0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:51.920
<v Speaker 1>kidney disease that I could pass along to my child.

0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:54.440
<v Speaker 1>So we are doing genetic testing to ensure that I

0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:58.840
<v Speaker 1>do not hand this delight right on down. So we've

0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:02.360
<v Speaker 1>gone through what's called an egg retrieval, actually two of

0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:04.760
<v Speaker 1>them now, where they go in and they take all

0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:06.840
<v Speaker 1>of my eggs and they test them and biopsie them,

0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:08.240
<v Speaker 1>and then what they do is they give me a

0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:12.280
<v Speaker 1>report afterwards and let me know the quality of the embryos.

0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:13.679
<v Speaker 1>Is everybody still with me?

0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:16.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's a lot of time. The egg or the

0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:19.240
<v Speaker 2>embryo is the fertilized egg.

0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:22.039
<v Speaker 1>What's amazing is that we actually don't have eggs to

0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:24.880
<v Speaker 1>begin with. They're called follicles, and then once they mature,

0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:28.600
<v Speaker 1>they become eggs, and they are nurturing these eggs until

0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:32.200
<v Speaker 1>they become embryos. Once they are an embryo, they can

0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:35.560
<v Speaker 1>genetically test that and find out what's going on.

0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:44.039
<v Speaker 3>Uh, how pleasant or unpleasant is all this?

0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:46.080
<v Speaker 2>Them gathering your eggs and everything like that?

0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:48.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh, this is bit I'm going I'm gonna say it.

0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:51.960
<v Speaker 1>This is sorry, Hanson. This has been an absolute fuck show.

0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:54.160
<v Speaker 1>This sucks. This sucks.

0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:57.480
<v Speaker 3>So it's not you know, I feel like this is

0:01:57.560 --> 0:01:59.800
<v Speaker 3>presented kind of when they talk about it, you know,

0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:02.800
<v Speaker 3>drive by media style on the news, like it's a

0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:04.960
<v Speaker 3>you know, it's no big deal, but you're saying it's

0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:05.680
<v Speaker 3>a really big deal.

0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:09.120
<v Speaker 1>Well, and people they you know, the way people phrase

0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:13.000
<v Speaker 1>everything that everybody calls this the journey. It's not a

0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:14.920
<v Speaker 1>it's not a journey. I mean, if you want to

0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:16.800
<v Speaker 1>call it that because it feels better, fine, but this

0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:19.080
<v Speaker 1>is definitely it's it's a medical process.

0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:19.960
<v Speaker 2>Uh huh.

0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:24.120
<v Speaker 1>And just to I mean, we're family here to BTM

0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:27.639
<v Speaker 1>I I have had three times of the month this month.

0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:31.720
<v Speaker 1>Whoa yeah, that's because whoa yeah, I'm pretty oh, I'm

0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:33.679
<v Speaker 1>pretty over it at this point. But they've I've been

0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:37.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean I've been on thirteen different medications and on

0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:41.360
<v Speaker 1>birth control twice throughout this whole process. And the interesting

0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:43.080
<v Speaker 1>part is they put you on birth control so the

0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:46.840
<v Speaker 1>doctor can get control of the way your body is

0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:50.320
<v Speaker 1>regulating your hormones. It's it's really it's an amazing process.

0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:52.880
<v Speaker 2>Anyway. So does insurance cover all this?

0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:56.600
<v Speaker 1>Insurance? Actually, I've been really lucky that insurance has covered

0:02:56.639 --> 0:03:00.160
<v Speaker 1>some of it, but not a lot of it.

0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:04.600
<v Speaker 4>No, you folks can't see this because it's audio entertainment.

0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:07.959
<v Speaker 4>But Katie is now waving around a pair of scissors.

0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:10.120
<v Speaker 4>Can we ask you to put the scissors down?

0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:13.080
<v Speaker 1>I told you guys to stop messing with me.

0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Three uh ant flows in one month. That'll make you. Yeah,

0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:21.120
<v Speaker 2>And let's go ahead and just put it out.

0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:23.760
<v Speaker 1>It is the fifteenth of the month, right now, that's right.

0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:28.640
<v Speaker 2>Holy crap. Just remember Katie, I really like you. I

0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:29.080
<v Speaker 2>know you do.

0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:33.239
<v Speaker 1>Michael, I know you're just you all have been absolutely

0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:35.920
<v Speaker 1>wonderful through all of this. Just a side note, but

0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:42.520
<v Speaker 1>so uh interesting angle to this, Uh that was a

0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:45.160
<v Speaker 1>little disappointing is that because I am the first in

0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:50.360
<v Speaker 1>my bloodline to have this kidney disease, after my last

0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:52.840
<v Speaker 1>egg retrieval, they told me that they cannot test my

0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:53.760
<v Speaker 1>first child.

0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:59.560
<v Speaker 2>Because why we are here. Thank you, right, thank you

0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:00.240
<v Speaker 2>the whole thing.

0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:02.160
<v Speaker 1>That's the whole reason for this whole thing.

0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:03.640
<v Speaker 2>So boy.

0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So this started in May and at the first

0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:09.240
<v Speaker 1>the first week of August, I was informed that I

0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:10.800
<v Speaker 1>am going to have to go ahead and have the

0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:13.280
<v Speaker 1>first pregnancy and they're going to test me at eighteen

0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:15.280
<v Speaker 1>weeks and let me know if the kid has polycystic

0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:16.120
<v Speaker 1>kidney disease or not.

0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:18.680
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, that was that.

0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:20.520
<v Speaker 1>There were a lot of words that I won't say

0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:21.880
<v Speaker 1>because I don't want a Hanson to have to have

0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:24.240
<v Speaker 1>more work to do but than I already gave him.

0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:28.480
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, on a more positive note, my doctor called

0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:33.640
<v Speaker 1>me a couple days ago and the first week of September,

0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:37.000
<v Speaker 1>I will be going in and the first embryo that

0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:39.560
<v Speaker 1>is of highest quality is a baby boy.

0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:42.800
<v Speaker 3>Oh well, fantastic. Who Yeah, And that's where he came

0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:44.480
<v Speaker 3>up with the name for the boy, which will be.

0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:45.760
<v Speaker 1>Jack Joe Michael Hanson.

0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yeah, so yeah.

0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:54.200
<v Speaker 1>And some people I've gotten not friends, but associates or

0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:57.120
<v Speaker 1>associates acquaintances that have been like, well, don't you feel

0:04:57.160 --> 0:05:00.159
<v Speaker 1>like you're playing God knowing the gender? And I I

0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:03.400
<v Speaker 1>don't feel like I'm playing God because I told my

0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:05.880
<v Speaker 1>doctor I just want to use the highest quality embryo

0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:08.320
<v Speaker 1>we have, and I just so happy to know the gender.

0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:10.680
<v Speaker 3>She didn't choose the gender. You just found out about

0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:12.480
<v Speaker 3>it in the same way that I did with my kids.

0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:15.120
<v Speaker 2>I did. I didn't want to, but their mom wanted to,

0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:17.800
<v Speaker 2>and so yeah, I just found out. Yeah. Boy.

0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:22.400
<v Speaker 4>The willingness to make casual comments about the deepest and

0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:25.760
<v Speaker 4>most important parts of other people's lives, that's that's a

0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:28.560
<v Speaker 4>gift you have, friends, that's a real gift.

0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:30.880
<v Speaker 2>You have to be willing to do that.

0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:33.799
<v Speaker 3>I can charming, I can normally ignore that, not always

0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:34.800
<v Speaker 3>will most of the time, just.

0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:37.720
<v Speaker 2>Like God, why do you?

0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:40.360
<v Speaker 1>Because because also I asked, right, because I was. I

0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:43.279
<v Speaker 1>was wondering what their opinion was about how I was

0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:44.039
<v Speaker 1>going to do my thing.

0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:46.960
<v Speaker 4>Sure, yeah, boy, that reminds me Jack, I'm supposed to

0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:48.200
<v Speaker 4>tell you how to raise your children.

0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:52.800
<v Speaker 1>I am very happy that it is a boy, though

0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:55.200
<v Speaker 1>I have to tell you, I do want to have

0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:58.320
<v Speaker 1>a boy and a girl. But I'm praying that this

0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:00.800
<v Speaker 1>one works out because I have a feeling that I

0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:03.919
<v Speaker 1>will have a lot better of a time, but a

0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:06.719
<v Speaker 1>little boy and not another me running around.

0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:10.559
<v Speaker 3>I wanted to both experiences myself. I've got two boys

0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:13.440
<v Speaker 3>and no girls, and I see my neighbor with his

0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:16.120
<v Speaker 3>teenage daughter and all the boys coming by all the time,

0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:18.880
<v Speaker 3>and so it doesn't it doesn't kill me that I'm

0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:20.840
<v Speaker 3>not going through what he's going through right now.

0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:23.400
<v Speaker 2>But I mean, it would have been nice having been

0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:24.719
<v Speaker 2>down both roads.

0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:27.880
<v Speaker 4>Let me tell you, Yes, yes, the female road is

0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:33.039
<v Speaker 4>a more complicated road, so it is not an interstate

0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:36.040
<v Speaker 4>highway that stretches straight to the horizon.

0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:41.039
<v Speaker 2>As not that boys are exactly. Yes, it's different. It's different.

0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:45.920
<v Speaker 4>You know, it's been incredible and wonderful and amazing, but yeah,

0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:46.440
<v Speaker 4>it's different.

0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:48.880
<v Speaker 1>What's funny is the conversation I'm having with my parents

0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:52.880
<v Speaker 1>right now already is how if this child ever talks

0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:56.839
<v Speaker 1>back the leverage I have. Do you have any idea

0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:58.040
<v Speaker 1>what it took to get you here?

0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:02.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? I can't play that card, right, Yeah?

0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:05.279
<v Speaker 4>Do you understand what I had to, had to wanted

0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:08.240
<v Speaker 4>to begged to do right to bring you in the world.

0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:09.960
<v Speaker 2>Would do it every day if I had the chance?

0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:10.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:16.160
<v Speaker 2>Yes, well yes, yeah, it doesn't work. Yeah, wow, but.

0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:20.720
<v Speaker 1>It's it's a really it's an amazing, fascinating process. And

0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:23.640
<v Speaker 1>it is you know when you first started, and the

0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:27.280
<v Speaker 1>syringes and giving yourself injections and all that.

0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:30.280
<v Speaker 2>It is scary.

0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:33.040
<v Speaker 1>But if anybody's listening going through it right now, if

0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:33.920
<v Speaker 1>I can do it.

0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:35.840
<v Speaker 2>You can do it. Trust me.

0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:39.400
<v Speaker 1>If I have the biggest needle phobia on the planet.

0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:41.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh did you did? You don't even like the term?

0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:43.720
<v Speaker 3>Did you have the experience I had with cancer? Where

0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:45.720
<v Speaker 3>because I had a horrible needle for BA two, But

0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:48.080
<v Speaker 3>I got jabbed so many times it kind of went away.

0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:50.200
<v Speaker 2>It just kind of got used to it.

0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:54.320
<v Speaker 1>Well with getting my with needles and shots. Now, yeah,

0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:56.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't care, just poke me. That's I'm over that.

0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:57.720
<v Speaker 2>After that. It's interesting.

0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:02.480
<v Speaker 3>It's there's a name for that, immersions there, something like that,

0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:03.640
<v Speaker 3>but it's true.

0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:05.680
<v Speaker 1>Now come at me to take my blood.

0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:09.480
<v Speaker 2>Still going to pass out? No? Why? Now that's interesting.

0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:11.920
<v Speaker 3>I was talking to my son's psychiatrist about this yesterday

0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:13.440
<v Speaker 3>and his son has the same thing as my son.

0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:15.840
<v Speaker 2>For a lot of people, it's not the needle. It's

0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:19.600
<v Speaker 2>having something taken from you. I rem that's it. That's interesting.

0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:21.800
<v Speaker 2>I'd never heard. I'd never thought about that in my life.

0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:23.960
<v Speaker 2>And my and Henry said, that's it.

0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:27.080
<v Speaker 3>And my psychiatrist said, that's my son's deal is that

0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:30.120
<v Speaker 3>it's it's not the needle or the pain, it's the

0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:32.800
<v Speaker 3>having something withdrawn from your body.

0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:36.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that freaks you out. And I've never thought that. Well,

0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:38.320
<v Speaker 2>and that's well, go ahead, Katie.

0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:41.760
<v Speaker 1>Well, I was just thinking because I mean, I have tattoos, piercings,

0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:44.720
<v Speaker 1>none of that bothers me. But the second that they're

0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:48.200
<v Speaker 1>taking something out of me, when I start, you know,

0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:49.000
<v Speaker 1>getting lightheaded.

0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:52.800
<v Speaker 4>You know, this is crazy. But I remember ages ago

0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:57.720
<v Speaker 4>reading about this, in reading about toilet training, that that's

0:08:57.720 --> 0:09:03.880
<v Speaker 4>some kid's problem with using the potty and flushing it away.

0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:07.160
<v Speaker 2>It's like, whoa Hey, that's mine.

0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:11.400
<v Speaker 1>That I have another problem I got to tell you about.

0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:12.160
<v Speaker 2>No, I'm just kidding.

0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:17.920
<v Speaker 5>Oh no, old boy, that's interesting, Yeah, because I that's

0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:21.080
<v Speaker 5>I don't know why, but the blood draw is my

0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:25.840
<v Speaker 5>that's my arch nemous there, arch nemesis.

0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:32.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, anemone whateverminemone. Uh yeah, I don't want to talk

0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:33.199
<v Speaker 4>about this anymore.

0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:35.120
<v Speaker 2>It's it weirds me out. I got to look away.

0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:36.640
<v Speaker 2>I got to think about other things.

0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:40.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh, you've got nice veins. You have really juicy veins.

0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:43.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh, speaking of I do have juicy veins. And the

0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:45.600
<v Speaker 1>chick had to use an effing vein finder on me

0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:47.280
<v Speaker 1>the other day, and I'm.

0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:49.800
<v Speaker 2>Oh, what I don't even want is the higher one?

0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:51.599
<v Speaker 2>Is that a dog? Is this sniff you?

0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:51.800
<v Speaker 1>Er?

0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:53.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh? I don't even want to know.

0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:55.120
<v Speaker 1>It's a little machine that they put over your arm

0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:56.840
<v Speaker 1>and it shows them where your veins are so they

0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:57.600
<v Speaker 1>don't miss.

0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:01.120

0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:03.040
<v Speaker 2>finder of the human bodies.

0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:05.640
<v Speaker 1>And you might as well be wearing a shirt that

0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:08.600
