But just to give our listeners 31 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: a little background because for the last couple of weeks, 32 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: they've probably wondered, like, you know, maybe Ashley has been 33 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: maybe a little quieter on the show, or maybe like 34 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: she's like been like coughing or like gagging on something. Actually, like, 35 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 1: can you walk us through the kind of the scenario 36 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: so far and how you've kind of dealt with being 37 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: pregnant and this intense like sickness that you're feeling for 38 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. Um, well, I don't know 39 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: how I've handled it. Part of me she needs to 40 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: throw up. No, no, I it's not easy, but like, seriously, 41 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: I'm just blessed that I get to work from home 42 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: and that for the most part, I have like a 43 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: schedule that's relatively flex flexible, and I can arrange my 44 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 1: schedule because like, oh my gosh, Like does my heart 45 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: go out to expectant mothers who are having to go 46 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: to a nine to five at the office feeling like this, 47 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: Like oh my goodness, I mean, look at this. You 48 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: get to record a podcast from the couch right now. 49 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: That's pretty good stuff. I'm so lucky. So I'm taking 50 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,959 Speaker 1: an Italian course because I'm finishing my bachelor's degree and 51 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: this is the last class I have taken. My Italian 52 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: professor is currently pregnant, and she was saying how she 53 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: gets very sick during the first trimester and she's always 54 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: jealous of women who don't get sick. But uh, she's 55 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: rocking it. She's still teaching us virtually, so she's still 56 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: working from home too as well. But she's on you know, 57 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 1: the zoom call for two hours. That was a bad example. 58 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,959 Speaker 1: I'm talking about women who need to be in the office. Karen, 59 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: very understandable. I get, I get what you're going for, 60 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: but this is the only other thing I had. Well, 61 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: this is a good lead into how are you two 62 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: holding up through this time? I mean, you've never made it, 63 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: you've never hit that. You guys are not only best 64 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: friends but your lovers. But you guys, you you can 65 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: go back and forth pretty well at each other. Has 66 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: this season of being pregnant Ashley enhanced your relationship romantically? 67 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: Or do you feel like you guys are like just battling. Oh, 68 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: it's not battling at all. I feel actually horrible for Jared. 69 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: Like I'm always saying like, I'm sorry, I love you, 70 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: I'm sorry.

Okay, so it's 78 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: not funny to be joking right now. Okay, I've been 79 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: very nice to you. You've been great.

The least I could do is 105 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 1: hanging the house for a little while and then run 106 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 1: to seven eleven to pick up a slurpee, which he 107 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 1: only did for the first time this week, the first time. 108 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: I've never been to seven eleven and get a slurpee, 109 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: So I can check that one off in the old book. Um. Okay, 110 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: so Jared, let's talk to you for a second. Uh. 111 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: You said you put in twenty seven seconds of work 112 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 1: to make this happen. Um, at this point, do you 113 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,599 Speaker 1: like as obviously? Um, I'm not even potentially close to 114 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: being a father. I don't know how this experience feels. 115 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: But in the course of your day, are you feeling 116 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 1: like sad? Are you like super excited? Are you like 117 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: what are your emotions wrapped around this right now? Well, 118 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: I'm I'm very excited. I've always wanted to be a dad. Uh, 119 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: it's really nice. We Ashley and I have wanted to 120 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: start a family for a little while now, so it's 121 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: so exciting that she's pregnant and we're starting this adventure together. Um. 122 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,359 Speaker 1: I feel guilty at times because actually I talked to 123 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: Mark about this on Help I Suck, a Dating I 124 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: Heart radio podcast you can listen to wherever you listen 125 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: to this right now, shameless plug. But I was talking 126 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 1: to Mark because obviously Mark has a couple of kids, 127 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: and um it, I feel guilty because I don't feel 128 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: that connected to the kid right now. The only time 129 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: I have felt connected was when we were at our 130 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 1: first doctor's appointment and we had the ultrasound. It was 131 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 1: the first time when they put gel whatever that jelly 132 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: stuff is on Ashley's belly and they had the ultrasound, 133 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: you you could see the you know, the little aunt 134 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: that is your child. Um. But other than that, you know, 135 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: it's just because you know, we've gotten the positive pregnancy 136 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: tests and we've told everybody, which is so exciting, but 137 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: nothing really has changed for me. You know, Ashley is 138 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: the one dealing with all the first trimester sickness. UM. 139 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: So I think when we had the doctor's office that 140 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: was the first time I felt really connected. And honestly, 141 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: when we announced we did it on Amazon Live, that 142 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: was honestly the second time I felt really connected because 143 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: we're opening up all these baby items and we were 144 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: looking at strollers and car seats and and there's like 145 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: a little Patriot baby outfits and that was getting me 146 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: very excited. Um. So I think my biggest emotion is 147 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: a little bit of gil and I, you know it 148 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: just for the simple fact that it's like, Okay, I 149 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: get us. I guess you know we're gonna have a kid. Now. 150 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: Why do I not feel like I'm a changed man? 151 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: But talking to Mark and talking to other guys who 152 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: have been fathers, they've reassured me that once that kid 153 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: is born, like that's that's the moment right there, when 154 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: you hold your kid for the first time in your arms, 155 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: that's gonna be when it really clicks for you. And 156 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: I don't feel connected to it either yet. Well, and 157 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: it's interesting because after I found out, I was talking 158 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: uh um to my mom and you know, every I 159 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: think every parents have different kind of like journeys to 160 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: to become pregnant.

I know this has 189 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 1: been like you don't feel good and um, and that sucks, 190 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 1: but we'll believe it's gonna be worth it. Okay, thank 191 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: you Ben for all of those sweet words. It's definitely 192 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 1: gonna be worth it. You know. I was talking to 193 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 1: a lot of friends who are parents and they said, 194 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: Buddy might text me he goes first try, MMR sucks 195 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 1: for her. Second try MMR is okay, third tried, MMR 196 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: sucks for her. It's all worth it when the kid 197 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 1: is born. And I was like, that's that's like the 198 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: most fascinating thing is I've been getting so many stories 199 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: on Instagram from moms who like just threw up the 200 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: entire pregnancy and they're just so miserable, and then they 201 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: did it again, and then they may have done it 202 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: again after that, and they said that like you totally 203 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 1: forget about it, and I'm like, I can't wait to 204 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: experience this forget. I don't know how this is possible, 205 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 1: but I think that it's got to be so much 206 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: easier to go through this with your second child than 207 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: your first, because with your first you don't even really 208 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 1: know what's coming, like you don't know the love that 209 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: you're about to feel. And at least with the second, 210 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: you're like, I know that this is all worth it. 211 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 1: I know this is all worth it. I mean, and 212 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: of course, like I know that it's worth it now, 213 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: But like, it's got to be easier when you've actually 214 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 1: felt the love before. Oh yeah, you don't have to, 215 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: you don't. I don't think any parent out there is going, 216 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, you're saying, like, right now, this is 217 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: like all really hard and there's like no idea what 218 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: it feels like later. I think it's a fair place 219 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: to sit. I think it's a good place to sit. Well, hey, 220 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a step back.

I was like, I 247 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,680 Speaker 1: want your face. I just want your face to be 248 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,079 Speaker 1: the kid. I was like, if it's a girl, I 249 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: would like it to have my nose and then maybe 250 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: the kids could get my teeth.

I know people say this all 255 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: the time, so we do have very similar features, so 256 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: it's really not that drastic if they get your nose 257 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 1: compared to my nose, your eyes compared to my eyes, right, 258 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 1: and actually just newsplash, you don't really get to pick. Yeah, 259 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to imagine, because Jade was saying that 260 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,839 Speaker 1: she imagined Emmy's face like while she was creating her, 261 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: and then then she came out looking like just like 262 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: what she wanted.

Yeah, wait, 267 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: can I ask you like a weird question because I 268 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: feel like, no, like I love you know, I love 269 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: your your love that the two of you have, like 270 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: I told you all along, like I just I love 271 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,199 Speaker 1: the way you love each other.

I remember when I 334 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,679 Speaker 1: picked out the name. Was that a New Kids on 335 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: the Block concert. I was twenty years old, and I 336 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 1: was just like walking around the arena and I, how 337 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,479 Speaker 1: did you think it?

Well, okay, so I 340 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 1: wanted for a girl. I wanted to name her Arena, 341 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 1: but Jerry doesn't like her arena. So I was walking 342 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 1: around the arena just feeling so alive, and that's how 343 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 1: I came up with a girl name. And then I 344 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 1: think that the guy named dawned on me at the 345 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: same exact time. Um, I don't know why I was 346 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 1: thinking about this at the time. But but Becca, you're 347 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: gonna love it.

We have one 362 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: of their closest friends, somebody they see as a brother, 363 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 1: a mentor have brought them together in love. Nick Vile, Nick, 364 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 1: Welcome to Almost Famous. Great to be here, guys, Congratulations 365 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 1: you too little worried at first? Trump Jared had it 366 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: in him, But I got I got some swimmers, baby, 367 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,199 Speaker 1: just a couple, just enough. You weren't the only one. 368 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: Um wait wait wait, wait wait wait wait, explain what 369 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:59,120 Speaker 1: do you mean was that comment? Yeah? That was weird. Well, 370 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: it wasn't weird. I always I've always just felt with 371 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,640 Speaker 1: myself as a super fertile. So I was like, if 372 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 1: we're gonna have an issue here. I don't think it's 373 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: gonna be me. Well, it wasn't you either. The only 374 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: hard part for you, Jared is that you and actually 375 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: kind of look alike. So there's really no confidence that 376 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 1: even if the baby comes up looking like Ashley, that 377 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:23,879 Speaker 1: it's actually yours. Man. We always said, uh, somebody was. 378 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: Ashley was talking about what she wants the kid to 379 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: look like, what features, and I was like, Babe, it 380 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,880 Speaker 1: doesn't matter like our nose looks like. If he has 381 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,479 Speaker 1: your nose, I'm never gonna be able to tell. If 382 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: he has my eyes. I'm never gonna be able to 383 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: tell if she has your hair, Like we look too 384 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 1: much alike. No, your eyes are distinguished. I prefer them 385 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: to have your eyes anyway. So so Nick, why should 386 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 1: we name the kid after you? I mean, I really 387 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:53,919 Speaker 1: don't think you're going to good. Guess what are you considering? 388 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: Is it you have boy? Do you guys know? Yeah, 389 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: we know the boy name, but we're not saying anything 390 00:20:58,400 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 1: until it comes out. But but but we don't know this 391 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: actually the baby. We actually find out this week. Oh yeah, 392 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: that's yeah, we find out this week. But guys, this 393 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 1: is a question for you. Do you think we should 394 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: do a gender reveal or just find out like on 395 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:14,919 Speaker 1: our own. I'm team find out on our own. Listen, like, listen, guys. 396 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 1: You know, I think you should still keep making money 397 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,360 Speaker 1: off of your family and love, Like, you know, can 398 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 1: you get paid for this gender reveal? Like, there's no 399 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: reason to stop now if we can make Like do 400 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,239 Speaker 1: you have you already created an Instagram account for your 401 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: unborn child? No? I don't think we're going to you're 402 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 1: going to either. I have no desire. That's just another headache. 403 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: You're just gonna make money off of your actually Instagram. Yeah, 404 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: well they're like the kids. Not We're not gonna make 405 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: money off the kids Instagram, like Emmy doesn't make money 406 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 1: off of her Instagram. I don't think. Yeah, no, I don't. 407 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: But we're still going to show out your child, right 408 00:21:55,600 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 1: Oh obviously? Oh next? Okay, so if we so, we'll 409 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 1: do a gender reveal if it's paid, Ben, what do 410 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: you think about this? What other reason is there to 411 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 1: do it? I don't know. Jared thinks it's like cute 412 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,640 Speaker 1: and fun for the family to like bond over, and 413 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: I'm like, I'll tell Nick that he's gonna think even 414 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,919 Speaker 1: less of me. No, I think that's fine. I mean again, 415 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 1: like I think if you do a gender reveal like 416 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,919 Speaker 1: low Steaks, I don't think we need to, you know, 417 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,639 Speaker 1: start any forest fires or like does don't try to 418 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 1: have the most crazy gender reveal, like literally just like 419 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:44,439 Speaker 1: have one of your parents like read the card like 420 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,880 Speaker 1: a day card, like a day card. Yeah, actually that's 421 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: not a bad idea. That's a cute video. Yeah, I don't. 422 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,439 Speaker 1: Or like you know, like here's what you do. You 423 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,640 Speaker 1: get like Tom Brady on cameo and hey him, I'm 424 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: a cameo to reveal this sex and your child. If 425 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: Tom Brady was on cameo, we would pay for that. 426 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: He'd probably be ten dollars on cameo. Ben Ben, I 427 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 1: want to tell you how we told Nick. So we 428 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,479 Speaker 1: FaceTime Nick to tell him before we announced, and of 429 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 1: course he was outside without a shirt on, and I 430 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,679 Speaker 1: was like, this is perfect. And then he answers the 431 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,120 Speaker 1: FaceTime and he goes, you're pregnant, aren't you and said, yes, 432 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 1: yes we are, and he's like yeah, I figured why 433 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 1: to face time. And so we talked about the pregnancy 434 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: for a good i'd say about ninety seconds, and then 435 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,640 Speaker 1: the rest of the conversation was all about Nick's TikTok, 436 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 1: and I was like, this brings so much happiness and 437 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 1: joyed in my heart. I can't tell you how much 438 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 1: I love this fairness to me. You guys asked a 439 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: question about it.

I would be a wrong advocate of UH. 442 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,439 Speaker 1: I kind of like the gender reveal idea, especially for 443 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: the surprise element, and so especially in today's world, it's 444 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: hard to find moments to like really celebrate with people, 445 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 1: and we don't know how long we're gonna do that 446 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 1: for it.

Yeah, yeah, 499 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 1: that's so exciting. Yeah, that makes you totally feel different. 500 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,440 Speaker 1: That makes you feel like, oh, I'm pregnant and I'm 501 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 1: cute instead of like, oh i'm pregnant, I'm just barfing. 502 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:48,359 Speaker 1: Um so if okay, so I have a question between 503 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 1: your first and your second. So with your first, when 504 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: you were like throwing up and like not comfortable and stuff, 505 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 1: were you feeling connected to the baby? Were you excited 506 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: when you say you were excited and happy or did 507 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 1: you just feel kind of And then with at least 508 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: with Charlie, you were able to be like, oh, I 509 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 1: know what's coming. I know how like glorious of a 510 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 1: gift this is, and I know the love I'm going 511 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,399 Speaker 1: to feel, So like I'm I can have a better 512 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,119 Speaker 1: like attitude the entire time. Yeah, I mean, okay, so 513 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 1: this sounds so weird, But when I was pregnant with Charlie, 514 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 1: I think I was so scared because I loved kids 515 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,439 Speaker 1: so much and I kind of had this fear of like, 516 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 1: there's no way I'm gonna love the second one the 517 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 1: same obviously I do, but I think I was so 518 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 1: scared of that, but I think I didn't really feel 519 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 1: super connected. It doesn't feel real for what And so 520 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 1: like you'll start feeling and moving and I feel like 521 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 1: that's when you really feel like it's real. Okay, Okay, 522 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: that makes me feel good. And then like you know 523 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 1: how they say, you know, it comes out and it's 524 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 1: like a love you've never felt before in your life. 525 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 1: And like nobody who doesn't have anybody who doesn't have 526 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 1: a kid, like they don't understand it. Can you explain 527 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 1: how it feels like when you hold them in your 528 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 1: arms for the first time, and like how it's truly 529 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 1: something that you've never help before. Yeah, it's so crazy. 530 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 1: I mean I remember, like towards the end of my pregnancy, 531 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 1: like I would say thirty four two. I had both 532 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 1: of them earlier, like around thirty seven weeks, and I 533 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 1: was like kind of miserable those last couple of weeks. 534 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: I'm also the most impatient person ever, so I was 535 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 1: like just done being pregnant. And as soon as you 536 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 1: have them and hold them, like you forget about everything, 537 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 1: you forget about, like you'll forget about your morning sickness 538 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 1: that I promise. I know everybody says this and I'm like, 539 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 1: what are you talking about? How am I going to 540 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 1: forget this? But everybody says, you do? You do? You 541 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 1: forget about it in a second. It's so crazy, and 542 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: you're just gonna like stare at them all the time. 543 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 1: Like I would just stare at the kids all the time. 544 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: It was crazy. I would stare at them for hours. Wait, 545 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 1: am I crazy? Here? How many weeks? Like it's thirty 546 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 1: six weeks right for day? Trust me, Ben, I'm learning 547 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 1: so much as well. Friends, I thought it was nine months, 548 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:06,720 Speaker 1: so I guess it's like a full nine months, like 549 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 1: end of nine months, not hitting it nine months? Okay, 550 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 1: can I be? Can I ask you a question? I'm 551 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: definitely gonna get in trouble for um. But now that 552 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 1: Amanda's here, I need both of your like I need 553 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 1: everybody's insights because I've had a couple of buddies of 554 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 1: mine have kids and they have huge expectations. Like I 555 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 1: remember sitting with them as their wives are pregnant, and 556 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: They're like, right now, it just doesn't even feel like 557 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 1: anything is changing, and I'm worried that like it won't 558 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 1: be this immediate love and so all, do you know 559 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: any mothers or parents who when the baby is born, 560 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 1: like it still is that feeling of like, oh I 561 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,719 Speaker 1: still don't feel anything, but then over time that love grows. 562 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 1: Like do you know any of these stories? Because I 563 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: feel like setting up this expectation for as soon as 564 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: the baby's born everything's gonna change might be like almost 565 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 1: a little dangerous, like because what if that doesn't happen. 566 00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that it's definitely the case for 567 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 1: a lot of people. I don't know anyone personally or 568 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 1: at least that I like openly talked about it, but 569 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:07,480 Speaker 1: I do know like friends of friends that have had 570 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 1: that happen and like felts not super connected right away 571 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 1: and it's taken time, always turns out fine. But I 572 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 1: think that's probably common, you know, could happen differently for sure. Yeah, 573 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 1: And I think with like Amanda said, I think everybody 574 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 1: who's reaching out now, because across the board, everybody who's 575 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 1: reached out has said once that kid is born, like 576 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be the greatest thing ever. But I'm 577 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 1: curious if that's just kind of semantics and when when 578 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: they say like the kid is born, maybe not like 579 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 1: the first time you hold them, but like in the 580 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 1: first couple of weeks, when like the kid is looking 581 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: at you and you know that like, oh my god, 582 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 1: you will die, you will die without many I think 583 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 1: maybe that is kind of when the love really really 584 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 1: starts growing. I would bet so, And I bet it 585 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 1: matters towards each person. But the love that you all 586 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 1: have for your animals, now this is a crazy thing. 587 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 1: But like I think too, Yeah, like the amount that 588 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 1: like you probably like worry about your puppies will probably 589 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 1: be and that like almost scares me, Amanda. I'm interested 590 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 1: in what you would say, because like I've had dogs, 591 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 1: Like I don't have a dog right now, because when 592 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: I lost my dog ten years ago, like it still hurts, 593 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 1: It still hurts, Like I love that pup so much. 594 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 1: I'm worried that when I become a dad, like I 595 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: don't know if I'm gonna be able to function, Like 596 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm gonna be able to like, 597 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 1: like I'll be worried all the time. I'll be like obsessed. 598 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 1: Is that Like is that how you feel sometimes? Yeah, 599 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 1: and not not too scary ash or Jared, but like 600 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 1: after I had kids. My anxiety is like through the rooms. 601 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 1: Like I have crippling anxiety, and it started when I 602 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 1: had them, And I think that's why, Like you don't 603 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 1: just have to worry about yourself, then you have to 604 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 1: worry about keeping them alive and making sure they're okay. 605 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 1: And I don't know, it's definitely it's a lot. I 606 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 1: see what you're talking about then, so I mean, like yes, 607 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 1: but like it's not something that consumes you every day. 608 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 1: Everybody asked me what one of my most nervous about 609 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 1: becoming a parent. It's the kid breathing. That's what I'm 610 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 1: most nervous about because they're so delicate. Like yeah, it's 611 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,040 Speaker 1: just like I know myself and I know that in 612 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 1: the middle of the night, even if the baby's not crying, 613 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna be paranoid that it's suffocating and be 614 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:30,600 Speaker 1: checking on this the kids every time when when both 615 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 1: of them are babies, especially kids ocause she was the first, 616 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 1: I was so scared that and you don't really get 617 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 1: any sleep when you have a baby. And even there, 618 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 1: during the times where she was asleep and I was 619 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 1: able to sleep, I would set an alarm on my 620 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 1: phone This is one of the craziest things I've ever done. 621 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,280 Speaker 1: Every forty five minutes just to make sure that she 622 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 1: was breathing. Oh no, I didn't sleep at all. There's 623 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 1: this new baby monitor that we showed off on the 624 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 1: Amazon and like the monitor of the video can records 625 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 1: what they're breathing at and like you can see it 626 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 1: on your phone. And I think if something were to 627 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,000 Speaker 1: happen where the breathing would stop, I think it probably 628 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:11,200 Speaker 1: alerts you, which is like insanely cool. Is that I 629 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,440 Speaker 1: don't know it could be that would make sense that 630 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:15,919 Speaker 1: that was in a round. So I feel like there's 631 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,880 Speaker 1: so many new things now, so I'm sure things that 632 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:22,799 Speaker 1: couldn't eas remind for sure for sure, But Ben, I 633 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:26,840 Speaker 1: understand exactly.

And like 642 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:52,680 Speaker 1: when I started to go down that trail, like my 643 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,239 Speaker 1: anxiety starts to like I have to stop because I'm 644 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 1: just like I'm I'm gonna be a crazy father, Like 645 00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 1: I won't know what to do with myself.

Um, I would just say, 654 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 1: you don't get so much pressure on yourself. Just take 655 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:36,640 Speaker 1: a day by day. That's good advice.

I am 681 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,720 Speaker 1: It's just I'm also being real about how I'm currently 682 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,360 Speaker 1: feeling at the moment, and I don't want anybody to 683 00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 1: think that. It doesn't mean that I'm like not super 684 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:11,800 Speaker 1: happy for what's in store for us. Yeah. No, I 685 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,600 Speaker 1: I tell Ashley all the time too that there's nothing 686 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,319 Speaker 1: wrong with her saying, Wow, this sucks. I feel really sick, 687 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,440 Speaker 1: because it's amazing how so many people reached out after 688 00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,920 Speaker 1: they found out that Ashley was sick and they said, oh, 689 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:25,759 Speaker 1: I was sick the whole nine months. It was terrible, 690 00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,080 Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah, And it's like, there's nothing 691 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,279 Speaker 1: by you saying hey, I'm struggling right now does not 692 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,200 Speaker 1: mean that, hey, I'm not going to love this child. 693 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,560 Speaker 1: I know Ashley. I know she's going to love her 694 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 1: with everything she has. Or I did say her, actually, 695 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,440 Speaker 1: I know that was interesting. Uh, She's going to love 696 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,880 Speaker 1: either her or him with everything she has, all of 697 00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:49,040 Speaker 1: her hearts. So I think we're just very excited, you know. 698 00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,640 Speaker 1: We we obviously moved from Los Angeles to Rhode Island 699 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,719 Speaker 1: earlier this year, and I'm so happy that we did 700 00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,560 Speaker 1: that because now Ashley is pregnant. We're really close with 701 00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:01,080 Speaker 1: her family, my family obviously we're living renounced or closer 702 00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:05,080 Speaker 1: to my family, uh physically, but um, you know we're 703 00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,080 Speaker 1: very close down here, and we're in Virginia right now 704 00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:13,319 Speaker 1: with her family. So yes, I think that's all I 705 00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:17,799 Speaker 1: have to say that and the fact that, um, I 706 00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:21,839 Speaker 1: have been just mind boggled as to like, how so 707 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,680 Speaker 1: the first trimester is like such a secret? I think 708 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,279 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people don't come out, you know, 709 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,960 Speaker 1: they don't talk about their pregnancy until the second trimester, right, 710 00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:31,520 Speaker 1: and yeah, we're at the tail end of the first 711 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,879 Speaker 1: and I think it's I think it's crazy how it's 712 00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:39,040 Speaker 1: like almost taboo to talk about the first trimester. And 713 00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:42,360 Speaker 1: I wish I was. I wish it wasn't so much 714 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,759 Speaker 1: so that I wouldn't have been so surprised. Is he 715 00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,560 Speaker 1: taboo or maybe Amanda was onto something, because I feel 716 00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,200 Speaker 1: like I've heard this a lot, people like just forget 717 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 1: because when the kid is born, or it could be 718 00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:56,879 Speaker 1: that too. Actually, I think from moms it's probably that like, oh, 719 00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:58,680 Speaker 1: it's just so worth it that you don't give it 720 00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:02,160 Speaker 1: a second thought. Yeah, you're kind of forgetting, you forget 721 00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,440 Speaker 1: once that baby is born. Well, I do have some 722 00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,840 Speaker 1: advice from my mother who has been following your story, 723 00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,960 Speaker 1: and said, I said, you know, Ashley has been sick 724 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,960 Speaker 1: and like she doesn't feel good. My mom goes, we'll 725 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,120 Speaker 1: look at the two of them. That baby is so 726 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:19,360 Speaker 1: full of hair right now, like like it's going to 727 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,799 Speaker 1: have a just a mane of hair when it comes. 728 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:23,640 Speaker 1: I've seen pictures of Jared when he was born. Actually 729 00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:25,480 Speaker 1: I don't have I ever seen your pictures, but like 730 00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,839 Speaker 1: that both had hair when it came out. Oh my god, 731 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:32,000 Speaker 1: Like that's our most alike as when we were born. Yeah, 732 00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,480 Speaker 1: well like that first year. Oh my gosh, I don't 733 00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,400 Speaker 1: think I look, my mom doesn't think we look that 734 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:41,160 Speaker 1: much alike. Now, yeah, we have similar features, but like 735 00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:46,400 Speaker 1: it's not like, oh my god, twins. Well yeah, couple, 736 00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,719 Speaker 1: you look very similar. Yeah you do. And so yeah, 737 00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:51,799 Speaker 1: I'm sure that baby has a lot of hair right now. 738 00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:53,359 Speaker 1: I'm sure. Well, I don't know if it actually does 739 00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:56,560 Speaker 1: at this point. First time does not. It's like I 740 00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:58,520 Speaker 1: don't even know if it has nails yet. I don't 741 00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:01,920 Speaker 1: even think it has feet yet. It has feet, Jared, 742 00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,920 Speaker 1: if we're gonna be able to fish up on Wednesday, 743 00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:06,880 Speaker 1: that's not a stupid question. Jared that I would have 744 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:08,919 Speaker 1: kep thing. I thought I had hair at this point. 745 00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:13,600 Speaker 1: So we're fine.
