Hopefully well 0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:47.159 and healthy. Uh, it's a different Christmas everybody's experienced in 0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:49.440 this man. We're you know the family. Usually we get 0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:52.320 together with you know, a bunch of different people on Christmas. 0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:54.280 We go to my cousins for Christmas even usually there's 0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:57.080 like ten or fifteen people there. And then Christmas Day 0:00:57.120 --> 0:00:59.680 will come and my grandfather will come over, my parents, 0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:03.240 my sister, my brother in law. Uh, and then Christmas night, 0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:05.720 my cousins will come over, so we see Usually, you know, 0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:07.600 it's twenty to thirty people throughout the two days and 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:10.440 then unfortunately we're just not doing that this year. So 0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:13.520 we are going to get together a very small group. 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:17.200 It's just gonna be my parents, uh, me, Ashley, and 0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:20.080 my sister. My brother in law is actually in the 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:23.560 Coast Guard and he's serving overseas right now. Um, so 0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:25.800 he just left a few weeks ago, so he's not 0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:28.039 gonna be back until next November. So it's just gonna 0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:30.200 be a small dinner, the five of us. But everybody's 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:34.640 going through right now. Quarantine's quarantine birthdays all around. Did 0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:38.640 you brother get the vaccine? No? Um, So my dad 0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:42.200 is actually getting the vaccine soon because he works in 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:46.160 the correctional facility and so he's actually getting vaccinated I 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:50.720 think in like forty five minutes um, which is insane. 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:53.280 So Ashley's dad is a doctor down in Virginia. He's 0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:55.520 an anesthe geologist and he's in his sixties, so he 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:58.360 was one of the first to get vaccinated. He got 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:01.280 vaccinated last week and uh, you know, he feels fine 0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:03.200 and he gets his second dose in a couple of 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.960 weeks and then my dad gets vaccinated tonight. They both 0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:08.960 got the Fiser one, uh not the Maderner one. So 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:11.280 it's crazy, man, it's crazy to think that, like, here 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:13.560 we go, we have a COVID vaccine and it's being 0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:18.480 distributed and people are getting uh vaccinated. It's been it's 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:21.480 just been a surreal, surreal ten months. And certainly, you know, 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:23.679 social distancing and mass wearing isn't gonna be over for 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:26.840 quite some time. But in terms of Christmas, that's our 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:29.440 plans right now. What about you? Man, Well, let me 0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:31.359 check my Fiser stock real quick now that we're on 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:34.880 the topic. It's our it's too late for that. He 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:37.639 should have got into that bar april. May you have 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:40.000 made something down since I first bought it. That's kind 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:42.680 of a bummer. Um, well, that's good that they're getting 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:46.440 their uh their vaccines. It's I mean, I don't know, 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:48.399 I haven't been falling too closely, but I guess there's 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:50.560 like a new strand or something that's coming out too. 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:52.720 I mean they're saying there's a new strand over the UK. 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:55.040 I mean, what are we gonna do? Like at this point, 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:56.880 we're just everybody's trying to do the best we can. 0:02:56.960 --> 0:02:58.600 We don't know if it's going to affect the vaccine 0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:01.360 or not. It's still up in the air. How contagious 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:03.920 this new strain is? What the new strain is? Is it? 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:05.840 You know, is the vaccine not going to you know, 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:09.919 work against it. It's just exhausting for everybody out there. 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:12.040 So hopefully, dude, we just get out of this sooner 0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:13.919 rather than litter and we can all. I was thinking 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:15.000 about it the other day because I was a the 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:18.400 grocery store and you know, I'm still super nervous to 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:21.200 just be within a few feet of anyone, So walking 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:23.800 past people on aisles, I'm like trying to turn the 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:26.079 other way, keep my distance, and I'm like, man, this 0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:28.280 is not the way life is supposed to be. It's 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:33.240 so mentally draining and for everybody out there, just constantly 0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:36.600 being on and constantly trying to just be aware of 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:41.360 your surroundings, and truthfully, for me, like being scared of everybody. 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:43.760 You know, I'm scared to come within a few feet 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:46.200 of anybody, even if they're wearing masks. It's like, damn, 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:51.160 this is depressing. Yeah, you are a bit of a hypochondriac, 0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:53.960 though maybe a little bit, just just a tiny bit, 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:57.880 but you know what I mean. Back in March and April, 0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:00.760 everybody was on my side when I was like washed 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:04.400 down the groceries. Let's not converse with anybody. You know, 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:06.480 things have changed since ing I watched this. I saw 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:08.960 this TikTok today. That was like, what was something that 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:11.640 you're doing pre COVID that you can't even imagine doing now? 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:13.920 And this girl was like, think about how we when 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:15.680 we used to go bowling, we would stick our fingers 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:18.920 in these little holes and with multiple times that everyone 0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:20.760 else is touching, and then we would eat these this 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.320 finger food and just like suck on our fingers, you know, 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:25.279 like the chicken wings and all that kind of stuff. 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:29.840 Imagine doing that now, Like, that's just disgusting. It's eve. 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:32.960 I went bowling in January, so I went bowling when 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:37.320 COVID was in the state. That's pretty I mean, it's 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:39.640 one of those obviously, right, It's one of those things 0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:41.920 that's already disgusting and you don't think about how discussing 0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:44.200 it is and then you know you kind of have 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:46.160 some hinds. But I'm the type of guy. I always 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:48.960 brought sanitizer with me or I would if like my thing, 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:51.160 I was aware, you know, so if my fingers had 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:52.719 been in a bowling ball, I would make sure I 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:55.560 wash my hands before I ate something, which means I 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:57.120 was the guy who would go to the bathroom like 0:04:57.160 --> 0:04:59.520 five or six times throughout the night, not because I 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:01.520 had to take a pissed but because I just needed 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:02.880 to wash my hands. Because, like you said, I'm a 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:05.080 hypo contract. But you know what, how's your Christmas? Well, 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:07.240 Calin and I are actually gonna go get tested here 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:09.680 pretty soon because we are going to be getting on 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:12.640 an airplane and flying to Bozeman, Montana to see my brother, 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:16.960 my brother. Both my brothers are gonna be there and 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:20.039 my sister, and we don't really get many opportunities to 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:23.520 all get together and just kind of with I don't 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:27.880 know why or how, but this year everyone is around, 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:29.800 and I guess we have the ability to all get 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:32.719 to the same location, which is Boseman, Montana. Uh, And 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:35.320 so we're gonna take that opportunity to kind of see 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:36.920 each other. But yeah, like I said, we're gonna get 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:39.920 tested before we leave just to make sure everything checks out. 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:42.480 Make sense, I got tested. I mean I haven't flown 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:44.280 in a while, but I got tested on Sunday just 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.560 for I mean it's free, and you know, if I'm 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:48.440 going to be around even like a couple of people, 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:51.240 it's like for peace of mind, I'd rather know. Yeah, 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:52.839 it's like the worst part about it is just waiting 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:55.520 in line, which is not even that bad depending on 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:57.359 where you go. I don't know if that would be 0:05:57.360 --> 0:05:59.480 the worst part. The worst part is when it goes 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:01.440 all the way up to your brain. I'd say that's, 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:05.719 you know, not the best I got. I got tested once, uh, 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:08.440 and I think I had like too many Bookers in 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:11.520 my nose or something because if they like shoved the 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:14.479 Burger Bookers further up my nose. And it was because 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:16.640 it was maybe my third time getting tested. The second 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:19.320 time getting tested. The first time was fine, you know, 0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:21.280 like it's uncomfortable, but like whatever, it was a clean 0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:24.720 swap up into the brain. But the second time they 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:28.000 like shoved all my Bookers up even further up into 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:31.000 my nose. It was the worst possible experience. Um. When 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:33.240 I went this last time, the doctor was like, do 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:36.000 you want a self ad minister, And I was like no, 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:40.080 if I do it, like I'm gonna barely go up 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:42.320 in the nose before my nose hairs start tickling. Just 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:44.920 do it, shove it up there, and then I'm such 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:47.080 a drama queen, like I cough, So I have to 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:50.200 keep my mask on because it's just involuntary obviously. So 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:51.760 when it goes all the way up to the back 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:55.560 of my nose, I'm like, yeah, there is zero posent 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:57.400 chance I can self administer. I got I broke my 0:06:57.440 --> 0:06:58.880 nose once when I was in high school and they 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:01.479 put these like big plastic extens up in my nose 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:03.600 and then I don't know if you ever broke your nose, 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:05.240 but when they then when they pull them out, it's 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:08.440 like the most insane feeling like they feel like it 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:11.800 literally feels like they're excavating your brain through your nose. Uh. 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:13.760 And so ever since then, I've kind of like, I 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:17.440 don't know, you can kind of I guess, But all right, 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:20.080 enough nose talking. What did you get? Are you done 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:22.080 Christmas shopping? You've got anything else? Did you get Caroling 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:26.000 a gift? Um? Yeah I did. I'm not getting anyone 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:29.200 else any gifts. I I think I've I've got my 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:31.360 brothers and sister gifts so many times, and they always 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:33.720 just seem so ungrateful. I know, I'm sure that they're 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:35.720 not ungrateful, but I just they don't really ever seem 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:37.320 very excited about the things that I get them, So 0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:40.960 I'm just kind of given up. Are they annoyed because 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:43.120 they don't get anything in return? I've been yelled at 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:45.760 numerous times throughout my adulthood because I'll get my cousins 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:47.960 gifts without telling them that I'm getting them something, and 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:49.840 then they get piste off at me because I give 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:51.520 them the gift and they didn't give me a gift 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:53.920 because they didn't think we were exchanging. So even though 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:56.080 I'm the gift giver, I end up being the asshole 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:59.520 in the case. Yeah, that's I don't know if they've 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:04.000 never verbally expressed it, but they seem pretty content with 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:05.480 the idea of me getting them something and them not 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:07.760 giving me anything back in return. But also it's like, what, like, 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:09.120 I don't need them to get me anything. What are 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:10.760 they going to give me that I don't already like 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:12.680 the same with Kaylin. It's like, Kylen can't really get 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:14.880 me anything because I already have everything I already wants. 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:17.640 For the most part mineus, like a like a muscle 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:19.800 car or something like that. I don't know, you get 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:23.000 a muscle car for Christmas? That's nice, it would be nice. Yeah, 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:25.760 what are you gonna get? I don't know. So Ash 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:27.480 and I talked about how we don't want to exchange 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:30.760 two months too much. Um. It is funny when you 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:32.719 think about buying gifts for people as adults, because you 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:35.680 know what the best gift of all is keeping your money. Um. 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:40.280 So that's like, you know, cousins and and brothers and sisters, 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:42.200 like I'm gonna get you a little knickknacks and stuff 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:44.040 like that, but nothing too big. But Ash and I 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:46.679 talked about what we're gonna get each other, how much 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:49.600 we're gonna spend on each other. And so she got 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:51.400 me two things and she said she didn't spend more 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:54.000 than a couple hundred dollars, So I'm not spending more 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:56.800 than a couple hundred dollars. Um. And I got her 0:08:56.920 --> 0:09:00.680 like some small, fun, thoughtful gifts. But I feel like 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:04.240 I just I always underwhelmed with gifts. You know, you 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:06.320 can tell us because this is an air until after Christmas. 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:08.120 And she definitely doesn't listen to the podcast. I got 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:13.160 her like so, I got our Harry Styles candle, uh, 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:14.880 which I thought it was a cute gift because she's 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:17.320 obsessed with Harry Styles, and I figured, you know, i'd 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:19.760 give her a candle with the picture of a beautiful 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:22.520 man on there to show my you know, security within 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:25.760 this relationship and as a man, even though I feel 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:29.240 quite inferior to Harry Styles obviously. Uh. What else? Oh, 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:33.320 I got her a shirt with young Leonardo Dicapro and 0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:35.960 Mark wahlbark on there, because she's obsessed with both men, 0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:38.760 and it's a picture of them. I forget a movie 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:40.000 they were in together, but they were in a movie 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:41.559 when they were like teenagers, so it's a picture of 0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:44.400 them very young. I forget. That'd be cute. I got 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:48.320 her so last year I got her Mickey and mini 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:51.319 snow globe and it's a really nice snow globe and 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:54.319 I gotta personalize with our wedding data on their August eleven, 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:57.000 two thou nineteen. And of course, what happened a few 0:09:57.000 --> 0:10:00.120 months later she broke it. It was accidental, she was 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:02.800 dusting off the top of the counter. It fell down, 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:05.320 shattered it everywhere. So I ended up going back to 0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:09.520 the same store getting this name snow globe. But instead 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:13.720 of getting just inscribed our wedding day, I saw a 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:16.400 mug in there that says you are my favorite person. 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:17.959 And I was like, huh, I don't want to get 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:20.560 her a mug, but I really like that. So on 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:22.960 the Mickey and Miney snow globe, I got it inscribed 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:26.280 on the front saying you are my favorite person August eleventh, 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:28.920 two thousand nineteen. Dean, don't get jealous, you're a close second. 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:31.840 But I thought that'd be a nice gift. Uh. Then 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:33.840 I got her. You know, I got some personal gifts 0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:35.200 after that. Then I'm not going to talk about on 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:36.880 the podcast, but you know, talk about it. Why not 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:41.000 some stuck army. Yeah, I guess that's a good point. 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:45.240 I got a lingerie, you know. Yeah, you know, just 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:48.360 you know, it's a little gift for both her and I. 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:49.760 I was gonna say that more of a gift for 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:52.360 her for you, a little bit of both, you know, 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:54.640 keeping it by say you were trying to have a 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:58.720 kid us more detail here. I'm a lace type guy. 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:02.360 My favorite our thigh highs, as we've talked about in 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:05.080 this podcast before. But I'm A big fan of black 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:07.520 lace with THI highs because there's a few things better 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:11.240 in this world than that. I'm not like sometimes, you know, 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:14.199 I don't know, Sometimes landre can get like a little 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:17.200 too much. There's like holes in different places and and 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:21.560 like like little secret trap doors, and I'm like, I 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:24.160 don't I don't know, I don't need all this, Like 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:27.160 you like the basic Lingreie then, but yeah, yeah, but 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:32.200 a basic good black lace with THI highs is my favorite. 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:36.719 Multiple benny? What was that? Multile benny? Isn't that very good? 0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:39.360 At Italian? I don't know. I don't speak Italian. I 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:41.400 went there once. That's that's nice, man, I'm sure she's 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:42.640 gonna love it. I hope you got to choose some 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:44.640 Lingrei too, so you guys can wear your lingdreds together. 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:47.800 You know, when I did chipping Dale's, she bought me 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:50.959 a pair of boxers with like a bow tie in 0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:52.760 the front, so it made it look like a tuxedo 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:57.080 on where you know the man parts are. So that 0:11:57.240 --> 0:12:00.160 was nice. So I have yet, have you ever? I 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:01.640 was gonna say, so you have not wanted them? For 0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:05.000 they're quite uncomfortable. They're very tight because they're meant to, 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:07.920 you know, really emphasize that part of the party to 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:10.120 make it like, you know, look, maybe a little bit 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:12.360 bigger than it actually is, t m im. But whatever. 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:15.640 Uh So they're really not the most comfortable boxers. I 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:19.600 wouldn't say they're me Andy's. But I did try them once, 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:22.000 but it was like it was too laughable. It couldn't 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:23.480 get in the mood. And you know, you're like this, 0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:26.280 I just feel like a joke. What do you mean 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:29.920 too laughable? Well, because like it's different when a girl 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:32.720 dresses up, that's sexy, when a guy dresses up it's 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:35.800 from I don't know, maybe it's just because I'm attracted 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:38.120 to women. But like when I when like I put 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:40.600 boxes on like that or like a bow tie, I'm like, 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:44.839 I look like a jackass. Like nobody's sexually aroused by 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:49.760 me wearing this. I mean, hey, have you never dressed 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:52.360 you know? No, I've never dressed up. I would never. 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:54.720 I would never do that. But listen, like you said, 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:56.920 different strokes for different folks. Some people are in that 0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:59.440 kind of thing. Sounds like you are into it once 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:01.200 you once you're alright, you'll you'll get used to it. 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:02.880 We're trying to have a baby. You know, we're trying 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:06.079 to figure out different different ways too. I thought you 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:08.040 knew that I was already married. Wait wait wait, wait 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:10.000 back up a second. I know you guys are I 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:13.160 know Ashley is quote unquote off the pill for her 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:18.880 instagram post um. But what's the update on the baby situation? 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:20.400 Are you guys still trying to have a baby? What's 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:24.240 going on? Uh? Yeah, so we're trying. We're actively trying. 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:27.800 We're a couple of months in. Um. Yeah. It's still 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:30.360 funny when you know you're you're trying to have a kid, 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:33.400 and like every month it's like all right, we're like 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:38.320 is there a baby in there? Is this the month? Um? 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:40.360 And like, I don't know, I guess you're never ready 0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:42.839 for to have kids. I feel like I'm ready to 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:44.400 be a father. I feel like Ashley is ready to 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:47.680 be a mom. I want to have kids. But it's crazy. 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:49.840 I always get, you know, when she's like, Okay, I'm 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:52.440 taking the test today, it's like, oh Jesus, are we 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:55.840 ready for this? Is this actually happened? Are we bad parents? 0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:58.040 How does this work? Do you keep track of? Like 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:02.000 the ovulation cycle? So she she has like the Ava bracelet. 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:05.680 She's got apps and books. She's you know, one of 0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:08.280 the best traits of Ashley is that when she does something, 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:10.600 she does a hundred and ten percent, no matter what 0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:13.720 it is in life. Uh, and trying to have kids 0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:17.040 is no different. She's she's she's really good about it. 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:18.520 It's not like, all right, let's just do it and 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:20.560 see what happens. She's like, we need to do it 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:22.960 on this day, on this hour. This is my peak. 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:25.280 So we need to you know, two days before, two 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:28.000 days afterwards, and then you know, I drink this or 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:30.680 do that or eat that. And she just like got 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:33.720 it down to a science. Are you doing anything specific 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:37.520 to help increase your chances? Yeah, that's a negative. You 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:42.560 know sometimes I uh uh, you know, after she's pregnant, 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:44.680 that's when my big you know, I'll be the support 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.320 of the supportive guy. Now, like, what am I gonna do? 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:50.120 I just I need to like, you know, I literally 0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:52.240 have like forty five seconds of work into this, that's 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:54.760 all I have to do. It's so funny because she's 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:56.280 we talk about it and she's like, you know, all 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:58.280 the pressures on you because you need to you know, 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:00.960 deliver in the moment just to you know, because but like, 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:03.640 let's be honest, if if they were married, forty five 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:06.200 seconds listen the reason I bring up forty five seconds. 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:08.960 Here we go. So if you're married, or if you've 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:12.600 been with someone for quite some quite a while, you know, 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:15.640 it's it's you know, it's not like every five minutes. 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:18.280 You guys can just make love and it's as easy 0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:20.000 as possible. And especially when you're trying to have kids, 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:22.280 sometimes it's like, Okay, we need to have sex now, 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:25.480 and you're like, like, I just we just had a 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:28.720 big prime rib and I just said it's like a 0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:30.920 brownie and I am not in the mood. So you 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:33.360 just need to like be like, all right, I'll just 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:35.240 get in the mood because this is like her prime 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:38.640 and so let's do it. And so sometimes it's you know, 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:40.600 it's I don't want to call it work because it's great, 0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:42.240 but like sometimes you want to get it done as 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:44.240 quickly as possible. So it's like, you know, it's a 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:45.800 numbers game at this point. You guys are just trying 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:48.000 to play the odds exactly. You know, we're just throwing 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:49.680 as much as we can against the wall and just 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:53.240 hopefully one of them sticks. Uh So that was a 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:55.720 bad choice of words right there, within the context of 0:15:55.760 --> 0:16:00.680 the conversation. But you know, so sometimes it's like all right, Jared, 0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:02.640 come on now, like you can do this, like focus, 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:05.400 you got you know, you can get this in your prime. 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:07.440 It took you like fifteen seconds. You know, you can 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:10.880 just channel that energy. I think that there are things 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:12.840 that men can do to increase their sperm count, like 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:14.800 I know for a lot, not for a fact, but 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:18.400 I remember, uh, like cowboys have a higher sperm count 0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:21.680 because they don't wear boxers. Like the folder. The further 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:24.280 away from your body, you can keep the you know, 0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:28.960 the thing where the seaman are stored because he kills them. 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:31.400 And so if they're like not hugged up against your body, 0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:34.160 they they perform better, I guess. But so that's all 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:36.440 stuff that I'm sure you already know. Yes, but that 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:38.960 makes me nervous. And do you have you always worn 0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:42.840 boxer breeze? No? I hate I hate boxers, so I 0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:45.760 don't wear boxers. So you're at your commando, right, I'm 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:47.560 a command I'm a cowboy. Yeah, So what do you 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:51.960 do when you have jeans on? Just just just grip 0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:54.960 my teeth and get through it. That's terrible, that seems 0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:58.000 so painful. That's why you're hard pressed to find me 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:01.200 wearing a pair of jeans, I think is why. Um 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:04.680 but Jared, listen, man, good luck. I think it's gonna 0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:06.480 happen when it's supposed to happen, right, Like, that's all 0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:08.920 we can really say. And I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:11.600 that's God's hands now. And you and you want to 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:13.080 know what I want to say something. I appreciate you 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:14.960 being so open and forth right about this too. I 0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:16.880 know it's a sensitive topic. I know sometimes it can 0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:18.720 be hard to talk about, but I just appreciate your 0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:21.960 fourth right nows there. So I appreciate especially like maybe 0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:23.440 like three or four years ago, I would have been 0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:27.200 more uh close to the chest about it. But now 0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:29.760 that I've married Ashley and she just puts everything out there, 0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:33.520 I've I've become more and more like her as we've 0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:36.399 been together longer and longer, where I'm just like, screw it, 0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:38.800 let's just talk about it. I love it. I love it. Well, 0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:40.560 we're gonna take a quick break. We have a great 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:44.639 guest coming up for you guys.

He is one of the three leads of 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:53.679 the show, and we're excited to hear from him and 0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:56.359 jump into a little bit more about the show because 0:17:56.400 --> 0:17:59.879 there's some uh, some similarities to The Bachelor. There's some 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:01.560 nuance is that we're familiar with and something that we 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:04.320 aren't with familiar with. So we're gonna take one quick 0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:06.479 break and then we're going to jump right into speaking 0:18:06.480 --> 0:18:22.200 with Garretts of Stay tuned for that.
