00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: Wind Down with Janet Kramer and I'm Heart Radio Podcast.

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 2: All Right, everyone, welcome to this week's podcast episode. This

3
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:17,319
Speaker 2: is a very special podcast that we're having because me,

4
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:23,240
Speaker 2: Kristen and Catherine have our men joining today's wind down.

5
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 3: Bring your husband no words?

6
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 4: Whose idea was this?

7
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 3: Who do you think your worst? Probably No, I don't

8
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 3: think it was mine. Okay, here it was mine.

9
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 2: You're the producer, right, So what I what I said

10
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 2: was what it had started with. I think it would

11
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 2: be maybe helpful for Alan if maybe Preston came on

12
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 2: to kind of say like, hey, this is what you

13
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 2: are going to have to look forward to.

14
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 3: Is that how we're framing it? Kramer?

15
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, right after after birth?

16
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 3: All the things and the words after birth. Let's make

17
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 3: that a groups.

18
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 5: Like after the birth. I left out the word the Okay.

19
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 2: So that's where I'm like, you know, because I think

20
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 2: there's pieces of things that we've talked about on wind

21
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 2: Down about postpartum, right, because there's something that Alan had said,

22
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: maybe like a month or so ago, we're oh.

23
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 3: Changed for those that are not in the room, said

24
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 3: we need a narration moment.

25
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 2: Well no, because he had just basically said, you know,

26
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 2: once the baby's out, You're going to be fine. And

27
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 2: I had this moment like of extreme inaccuracy because that's.

28
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 5: No, I'm kind of i mean, what do you mean?

29
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 5: What do you mean? Well?

30
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 2: Right, So I think what he meant was because I'm

31
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 2: just so uncomfortable and I've been sick and i've been

32
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 2: you know, just not been able to do the things

33
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 2: that I want to do and feel the way that

34
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 2: I want to feel. And what I heard though when

35
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 2: he said that was what.

36
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 4: Was extreme inaccuracy.

37
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, Bud in Allen's defense.

38
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 2: You know, but what I heard was that for me,

39
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 2: I'm like, man, the fourth what postpartum is the most

40
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: emotional piece and there's still a lot like I'm not

41
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 2: going to just be fine afterwards. And I'm sure you've

42
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 2: witnessed a lot of postpartum, Kristin, Oh, yeah, for sure.

43
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 2: And so you know and and in In you know,

44
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 2: you you don't men. I don't think men realize that postpartum.

45
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 5: I don't even know what postpartum was.

46
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 6: They don't have that in the UK.

47
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 5: They don't serious. It's a United States.

48
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 6: They just don't have that. Everything's fine.

49
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,959
Speaker 3: They don't have Miles and they don't have a postpartum

50
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 3: just kilometers and smooth sailing.

51
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, no even hailed of it.

52
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 3: You've never heard of best part of ever.

53
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 5: Really, I had never heard of it till she says

54
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 5: she had it. I was like, something's going on, though,

55
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 5: and so we figured it out. I guess that's what

56
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 5: I say. We don't telling anything.

57
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 3: And we broadcast broadcast.

58
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 5: I will say this though, like the stuff that he's

59
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 5: probably talking about, like being sick and stuff like last

60
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 5: night I heard her say, remember when I was sick

61
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 5: every single day with our baby lying, and then now

62
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 5: the sickness went away. I mean the second that baby

63
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 5: was born, the sickness was over. So in his defense,

64
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 5: I could be kind of what he's talking about. You're

65
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 5: gonna be all right here in a minute.

66
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 3: Sure, But.

67
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 6: The biggest thing is your discomfort and a lot of

68
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 6: things like pressing. You said will be lave you and disappear.

69
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 6: I'm not talking. It wasn't referencing hormones or behavior.

70
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 3: Well, this is good. We don't have to start from scratch,

71
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 3: because I thought we were starting from scratch.

72
00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: So you do know that the post there is a

73
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 2: there's a fourth partum or right? Is that? How it's

74
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 2: the fourth trimuster essentially, is what they call it, the

75
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 2: postpartum and there are hormones after that.

76
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 7: She's going to ratchet up the crazy little bit. And

77
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 7: then Bill Kirk, well, I think.

78
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 3: That's actually offensive. Yeah, I would say, oh, because.

79
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 2: It's And I love you and I can say that

80
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 2: because you're like a brother to me. But women's hormones

81
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 2: after babies are crazy, Like I remember both being like,

82
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 2: I'm bawling and I have no your hormones are you

83
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:39,679
Speaker 2: feel crazy?

84
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 7: It doesn't make sense to you either, I mean it

85
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 7: makes sense to him. If not makes sense to It's

86
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 7: just something you have to go through.

87
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 3: Well, and let us not all forget the extreme sleep

88
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 3: deprivation one goes into and why it's considered a torture

89
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 3: technique for a reason. So we're in the midst of

90
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 3: hormones and balance. Your body is not the same. Your

91
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 3: recovery after a C section is longer than other recoveries,

92
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 3: and on top of it, you're not sleeping and this

93
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 3: time we're pushing forty.

94
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 5: Sounds like a storm.

95
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 2: I mean, so, Presley, what has been the hardest thing

96
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 2: for you post baby with Kristen?

97
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 3: Which time, Well, let's just talk. Let's just talk this time.

98
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 5: This time, we just need more help. We need help

99
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 5: because I'm gone like crazy. You know, We're doing two

100
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 5: hundred shows a year. I'm gone all the time. And

101
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 5: she's just being a superhero the best that she can.

102
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 5: And she's tired, and I don't know how she does

103
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 5: it like she's you know, some days if I'm gone

104
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 5: on a Monday, still she's she's up all night with

105
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 5: baby lying, and then six fifteen, you know, six am,

106
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 5: she's up making lunches and she's getting the kids off

107
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 5: to school, and you know, just packing that third kid

108
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 5: in the car is the whole thing, Like just getting

109
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 5: that baby ready and getting it in the car so

110
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 5: that the other two well, I mean, I don't know

111
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 5: how she does it, but you know, so that's been

112
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 5: the hardest thing, is like how do we find good help?

113
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 5: Who is good help? And does she she has to

114
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,799
Speaker 5: love them too, like the help. We can't just get help,

115
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 5: Like we need someone that's going to be cohesive.

116
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 3: He wanted to move someone in. He wanted a no pairt.

117
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,359
Speaker 6: I've got a solution on the Postpotomo, Come stay with you,

118
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 6: I'll help you.

119
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 5: Great.

120
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 3: Well this works out perfectly because it's actually our baby anyway,

121
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 3: So this is like magic.

122
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 5: I think that's the toughest part, though, it's finding that

123
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 5: finding that sweet spot where she gets to still be

124
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 5: mom and still feel like mom, spend all the hours

125
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 5: because she wants to spend time with all the kids,

126
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 5: but also she needs the breaks and I'm not there

127
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 5: to give her breaks, and so that's with the third kid,

128
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 5: it's become a lot.

129
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 3: I would say third time feels a little like the

130
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 3: charm for us though, like Love's postpartum our first was

131
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 3: would you agree, horrendous?

132
00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 5: Horrible, horrible, And it wasn't just another trimester. It was

133
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 5: like a year. It was a year. It was a

134
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 5: whole school year, just that, you know, just like a

135
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 5: whole man. I didn't know what we were in. I

136
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 5: didn't know what postpartum was. I was looking it up.

137
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 3: Well when you were in Mexico most of the time.

138
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 3: So that was straight heard.

139
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 5: I heard a doctor mention it in the in the

140
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 5: room and the doctor looks at her, she says, you know,

141
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 5: are you thinking about hurting yourself? And I'm like, well,

142
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 5: are we talking about? Like what is this? And then

143
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 5: all of a sudden they're like you know, and all

144
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 5: these different symptoms that you need to be And then

145
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 5: she turned to me and I said, well, I'm not

146
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 5: watching for any of this. I didn't even know this

147
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 5: was a thing like you because I.

148
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 3: Scored low on the questionnaire, the postpartum questionnaire for like

149
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 3: post screening.

150
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 5: I know she was just in her own level of

151
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 5: just trying to get out of the fog. And I

152
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 5: didn't even know there was a fog. And so once

153
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 5: I started understanding what it was, then I started feeling like,

154
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 5: here's where I can meet her in the fog a

155
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 5: little bit and try to help, you know, if I can.

156
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 3: But and how did you What would be a tip

157
00:07:58,920 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 3: for new dads.

158
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 5: Get out of Bed's a lot of patience. Get out

159
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 5: of bed, would them?

160
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 3: Get them?

161
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 5: Don't go to bed, start a band and go on

162
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 5: the road. Cry don't go turkey hunting the first morning

163
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 5: your home. Don't do that. Maybe the third morning your home,

164
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 5: you know, but don't go first morning your home.

165
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 7: I did go coach a football game in the day

166
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 7: that Emmy was born.

167
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: I think it was Ramsey, But at that point with

168
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: the third I'm like, go do what you gotta do

169
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: with the other kids. I mean I was at that point.

170
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: But to that, I was going to say, I think

171
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: it's very important to also keep in mind there's so

172
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: many different levels of it. Like I think all moms

173
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: cry at the drop of a hat after they have

174
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: a baby. Sure don't don't expect that, and that's normal,

175
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: but to keep an eye on that because it can

176
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: get so much further and be past that. But like,

177
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't have postpartum, but I did, you know,

178
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: cry at the drop of a hat. So I just

179
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: think it's very important to watch that there's such different

180
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: levels of it, and some of it is normal and

181
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: not into not that postpartum depression is not normal, but

182
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, and then into postpartum.

183
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 5: I think it's also when I think back on to it,

184
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 5: I remember being becoming like unconnected. We were just unconnected

185
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 5: because she's trying to stay connected to the kid. You know,

186
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 5: it's a newborn and they're connected. And some people say

187
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 5: that the kid still feels like they're in their mom

188
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 5: for like three months. They don't even figure out that

189
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 5: they're not in their mom for a minute, you know.

190
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 5: And so I had never even heard that concept before.

191
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 5: So here we are falling apart from each other. She's

192
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 5: getting closer to the baby, but now there's this new

193
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 5: dynamic in the house, and it was my job to

194
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 5: stay connected to her. It's not her job to stay

195
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 5: connected to me and these kids. And so I had

196
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 5: to figure that out that I had to like focus

197
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 5: on me and her as well and stay connected, and

198
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 5: that would make me connected to the baby more probably.

199
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 5: And so because a lot of dads, let's be real,

200
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 5: a lot of dads are like, oh man, this is

201
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 5: so awesome to have a new kid. And then when

202
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 5: the mom was not around, we're like, what do we

203
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 5: do this thing? Like it's screaming at me? And when

204
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 5: mom walks in, she can hold it and tap it

205
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 5: just right and everything goes away. But we're like, I've

206
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 5: given it a bottle of given it a beer, I've

207
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 5: tried anything, just please stop crying, and nothing works, you know,

208
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 5: so we get you know, yeah, it's probably wild to

209
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 5: us and confusing.

210
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 7: So I don't think a lot is the logistics, you know.

211
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 7: I mean, you're going through all the chemical stuff, but

212
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 7: you're as your third fourth or whatever, now you're adding

213
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 7: logistics on top of it. So you have the frustration

214
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 7: of you know, just more things to do. Yeah, because

215
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 7: life doesn't stop now, kids.

216
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: Will still have stuff to do and like that has

217
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: to get done whether we're falling apart or exhausted or not.

218
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 3: Like it is different. I thought that the gap because

219
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 3: we so Jannah and I share the same like our

220
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 3: kids are all the same ages, which is so always

221
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 3: so cool to me. But I thought, I the gap

222
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 3: is great for so many reasons because it gives you

223
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 3: like they are a little more self sufficient. But then

224
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 3: the gap is harder because the feelings are big and

225
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,319
Speaker 3: they can articulate them, and they still have a million

226
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 3: things to do.

227
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 4: They have so much going on as they get older.

228
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they want to yeah, And you want them

229
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 3: to play and you want them to be plugged into

230
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 3: their own world so that they don't feel the huge transition.

231
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 3: But there is a transition for them too. It's going

232
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 3: to be great. I want to just drop a little

233
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 3: note of hope. Allen and Jane holding hands, like the

234
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 3: planes going down that can't see the oxygen masks have

235
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 3: fallen from the ceiling.

236
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 6: You might not get the I'm with you even nothing

237
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 6: we don't know yet, we don't know. I just want.

238
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 2: I think the I don't remember having postpartum with Jolly

239
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 2: depression depression. Yeah, yes, thank you for the claripication of that.

240
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 2: With Jace, my postpartum depression was something where and I've

241
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 2: known someone that had the wake extreame Ca said, there's

242
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 2: massive extremes my connection with Jace. When I had him,

243
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 2: I felt a weird. I wasn't connected and that depressed

244
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 2: me for a minute because I didn't have what I

245
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 2: thought what I had when I had Jolie. And then

246
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 2: I realized that was a part of the depression and

247
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 2: the not feeling connected to the baby. It was, but

248
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 2: it sent me like I'm a spiral. Also, he's a boy,

249
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 2: which is different. Not that you not that that makes

250
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 2: you less connected, but I felt a different connection with

251
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 2: Legend and at first compared it to like, oh it's

252
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 2: not as intense as it was with love, but like

253
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 2: he was, he was my boyfriend, and it took me

254
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 2: a minute to go hang on, like it's a different

255
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 2: kind of love, and then once figured that out. But

256
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 2: I think I had more postpartum anxiety post Jase.

257
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 3: I definitely had postpartum depression with love for sure. Postpartum

258
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,439
Speaker 3: more in postpartum anxiety with Legend, but he also was

259
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 3: a respiratory kid. He just had a lot of like

260
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 3: respiratory issues. And then this one, I feel like I'm

261
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 3: unable to diagnose where I'm at because we're only five

262
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 3: months out. But this time just feels like I'm in

263
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 3: a postpartum period. But I'm trying to navigate it.

264
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 2: Differently again, the hormone levels, age, all the things, because

265
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 2: I believe I was in perimenopause when I started pregnant,

266
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 2: Biblical age pregnancies that we're having.

267
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 5: I don't even know what you just said. Another I

268
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,319
Speaker 5: have to google that tonight, but I.

269
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 2: Think at the end of it, I mean, I know, Alan,

270
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 2: you're insanely supportive, so I know that you're gonna show

271
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 2: up and be a great partner.

272
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 7: You guys think of being aware of it is beneficial.

273
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 7: Like you said, your first child, you've never experienced it,

274
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 7: So the second one, can you intellectually go Okay, this

275
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 7: is probably coming and kind of prepare yourself for it.

276
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 3: Well, two things I think One, you learned how to

277
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 3: better support and love yourself and what you need just

278
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 3: as you get older. Period, and then you add like

279
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 3: a postpartum period, like I knew how I needed to

280
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 3: be loved this time, and for me, it was I

281
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 3: did not need any visitors until at least six weeks.

282
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 3: I needed a minute to like get my I I

283
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 3: had to honor that about myself because that's the part

284
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 3: that gets stressful for me.

285
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 5: And I was like the movies. I'm like thinking, you know,

286
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 5: I'm about to have a baby. We need all the

287
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 5: in laws in the window of that at the at

288
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 5: the hospital.

289
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, everybody ready, and then.

290
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 5: I'll hold a baby up like Simba and everybody parties

291
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 5: and the door swings open and she puts her clothes

292
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 5: on and we go home.

293
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 6: You know what I mean.

294
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 5: I thought it was just like that, and then I realized,

295
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 5: you know, it wasn't like that.

296
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 3: We're the same? Are we identical? Have everybody in the

297
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 3: delivery room? That's my motto.

298
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 5: And then the second time around, I invited less people,

299
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 5: and so I was like, okay, RSVP this second time

300
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 5: and the third time I started to really listen, like okay,

301
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 5: this is this is your room, this is I get

302
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 5: it now, you know. So it took me a minute.

303
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 3: It's so celebratory, like the lion king to him, and

304
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 3: for me, I'm like this is like sacred quiet territory.

305
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 2: Well, and I told Alan too, I think I said

306
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 2: this too where I I'm pretty sure I did. Where

307
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 2: when the baby comes, I still need to have our

308
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 2: precious connection moments too, because I don't want that piece

309
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 2: to us to be sleep deprived or edgy or snippy

310
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 2: or like guys like are we just we have to

311
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 2: have find a minute each day that's something that we

312
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 2: can just kind of sit with each other because those

313
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 2: moments just the other day when we had a crazy

314
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 2: day and we were just passing, it's like, hey, let's

315
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 2: sit for thirty minutes and have a conversation and keep

316
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 2: that Like that, that's something that.

317
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 3: I know I need from my overall postpartum. Yeah, like

318
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 3: even this time, there will be times in the middle

319
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 3: of the night where I'm feeding the baby and if

320
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 3: Pressent's home, like you just get up and he's like

321
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 3: you want me.

322
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 5: To do it?

323
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 3: Or he like rubs my back and that is enough

324
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 3: for me just not you know, Like I.

325
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 5: Wish I could send a text message, dudes, they're about

326
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 5: to have.

327
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 3: A baby, what would you say.

328
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 5: I don't know exactly what I'd say. It depends if

329
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 5: their wives are going to read it or not. But

330
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 5: if the wives aren't reading it, I can't say it.

331
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 5: So you know, I could text it to Alan, you

332
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 5: could read it another day when I'm here.

333
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, what would you say if we weren't here.

334
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, that's not real life. You are here,

335
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 5: but I think now, no, okay, so let's just paraphrase

336
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 5: in a nice, gentle way. You know, life's about to

337
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 5: get a little bit crazier and you're going to need

338
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 5: to be getting up in the middle of the night

339
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 5: and doing your part. She's going to need to be

340
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 5: feeling some extra love from you. I mean, chime in,

341
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 5: boys whenever you're ready, because I'm on the spire.

342
00:16:58,240 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 6: But you know, just.

343
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 5: I always want to try to find ways that with

344
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 5: you know, Troy Gentry told me this from Montgomery. Gentry

345
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 5: got rest the soul. But you know, I just remember

346
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 5: we were about to have a baby and he told me,

347
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 5: he said, you've got to stay connected to your wife

348
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 5: and it's not going to be as easy as you think.

349
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 5: And I was like, oh man, we got this, you

350
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 5: know what I mean. We had only been together a

351
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 5: little while and I was like, a minute, yeah, we're

352
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 5: so on fire. In love. This is this is gonna

353
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 5: be easy. And I just went in one ear and

354
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 5: out the other. But I think about that all the

355
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 5: time now because I'm like, how true was that one

356
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 5: sentence that he was trying to tell me? And now

357
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 5: I see it, like I you know it. Sometimes it's

358
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 5: still labors the love. Maybe it's just you know, an

359
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 5: extra time with the dishwasher, doing the little things, washing

360
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,360
Speaker 5: the bottles when she just is so tired she don't

361
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,719
Speaker 5: feel like doing that, you know, and like all the

362
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 5: little things that you definitely don't feel like doing, but

363
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 5: you just do it because like she said, sometimes it's

364
00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 5: rubbing her back. Sometimes it's just a little kiss on

365
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 5: the neck, just saying you've been awesome this you know

366
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 5: today or you know tonight in the middle of the night,

367
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 5: you know. And so because look, look she does all

368
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 5: the heavy lifting. I ain't seeing the dirty die for

369
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,439
Speaker 5: this week. I mean, she is awesome. She does it

370
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 5: all and she lets me sleep. I come off the road,

371
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 5: I'm super tired, And you know I.

372
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,959
Speaker 3: Would I would steer away from using the term super tired. Yeah,

373
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 3: I'm just being honest. That was one trigger.

374
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 5: It's a different kind of tired.

375
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, like I remember him coming home and he's like,

376
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 3: I'm just really tired, and I thought, I bet you

377
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 3: are really tired.

378
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 5: However, you also have a unique situation.

379
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 2: Yeah so yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that was one of

380
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,479
Speaker 2: the questions yeah too from a UH from UH. I

381
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 2: did a poll and basically it was how his press

382
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 2: and handle being a new dad and in the spotlight

383
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 2: and on being on tour.

384
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 5: That far is easy, man, We love being that.

385
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 3: It's fun part.

386
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 2: But when you come home and you say you're tired,

387
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 2: and it's like Christens just like you don't know what

388
00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 2: tired is.

389
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 5: And the kids have all drawn picked and they're waiting

390
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 5: and they want to put it right in your face

391
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 5: right when because I one thing that has changed for

392
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:10,360
Speaker 5: me is I take the last, the last flight out

393
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 5: I can to leave, and then I take the earliest

394
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 5: first flight I can to get home. And that's a

395
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 5: different level of stress outside of the house that no

396
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 5: one sees. Just trying to be home as much as

397
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 5: you can, because it's just as it's hard to get

398
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 5: the hours the other dads are getting. Like I'm trying

399
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 5: to build my time up and I'm gone a lot,

400
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 5: but I'm also not working a nine to five and

401
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 5: home just every single night. That's kind of gone too

402
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 5: in its own kind of way. So when I'm home,

403
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 5: i'm home, and I get to write from home and

404
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 5: it's cool. So I don't know, I think I think

405
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 5: being on the road doesn't even weigh in as much

406
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 5: as I mean, it's fun and I'm lucky. Chris, the

407
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 5: guy I sing with, was a dad for I don't know,

408
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 5: six seven years before I ever was, and he's a

409
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 5: great dad. So fortunately I got a good example of

410
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 5: someone who shows up as a dad, And had I

411
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 5: been singing with somebody that wasn't like that, I might

412
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 5: have had a worse example in a different influence. So

413
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:16,479
Speaker 5: I was ready for that, you know.

414
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 3: Alan.

415
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 2: One of the questions from the Q and A was

416
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,400
Speaker 2: what are you most nervous about being a new dad

417
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 2: since it's been sixteen years?

418
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 6: What my most nervous about? I think since it's been

419
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:39,239
Speaker 6: so long since twice sixteen, so it's been a lot

420
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 6: of year since he was a tiny little baby, and

421
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 6: I think it's just the I'm not nervous about anything,

422
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 6: but it's just like looking at that tiny little thing

423
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 6: up again. How you hold them and how you handle

424
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 6: them and how you touch them and caress them. That

425
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 6: seems so long ago that listen, nervous nothing. I'm not

426
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 6: nervous about anything because I'm looking forward to it. I'm excited.

427
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 6: But it's just been I mean it's been sixteen years.

428
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 6: Like we were building what we were building the other night,

429
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 6: that play and play, the pack and play, and then

430
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 6: I forgot what that was.

431
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you'll never figure out how to put it together.

432
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 8: Technology is not improved.

433
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 6: It's actually easy, wasn't it.

434
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 2: It was the attachment, The attachments were moving it because

435
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 2: you remember.

436
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 4: You had to do it in a certain order.

437
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 5: It was your fault.

438
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 6: You did it.

439
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 3: You don't have any fears then.

440
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 6: I mean the sword like Troy's Troy sixteen, he's grown up,

441
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 6: Like I go to the gym with them. He's taller

442
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 6: than me, like, so there's there's an element, an element

443
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 6: where he's grown up. It's just how to to manage

444
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 6: this tiny little thing.

445
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 3: Again, can't handle Allen's first.

446
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 5: Of all, the same body have trouble with the words

447
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 5: six with this guy because everything he says is sexteen.

448
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 5: I mean, it's been sixteen years since I had a

449
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 5: baby and held one and then.

450
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 8: He says a little different than you.

451
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 5: He says things like sexteen and caressing and holding. I'm like,

452
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 5: this is how the baby got in there?

453
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, speaking of your son, how people want to

454
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 2: know how you manage having that distance and the back

455
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 2: and forth between the UK and if you officially live

456
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 2: here or not in what your.

457
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 5: Honor UK baby?

458
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 2: It's both dual citizenship awesome because he's Scottish.

459
00:22:55,960 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 5: So both possibles. Are you having a baby here? Are

460
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 5: we allowed to talk about this? Yeah? I don't know.

461
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 5: So you're having a baby here, but it's halfway UK baby.

462
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 3: Too, Well, he gets to have dual citizenship.

463
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 8: We'll talk about that.

464
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 5: I mean, if you're going into labor here and flying

465
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 5: supersonic over there to have the baby, I could see

466
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 5: dual and then time zones too. I mean, I'm gonna

467
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 5: say this sounds like the baby's ours. This is a

468
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 5: US A baby. Let's go back to the question and

469
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 5: how I feel.

470
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 2: Just the distance and how do you and and with

471
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 2: that question is is having an older and a younger?

472
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 3: Is that? How are you going to manage that?

473
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 6: Okay, so the first thing is a distance. It's tough,

474
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 6: but I mean, you know, I travel a lot anyway,

475
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 6: but I go back once a month to spend proper

476
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 6: time with Troy. So when I'm back there, it's me

477
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 6: and him, whereas when historically when I see him, I'd

478
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 6: maybe only see him for a day or two and

479
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 6: then i'd be back at the football club. So in

480
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 6: my head, I mean, it's difficult, it's really difficult. But

481
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 6: the time that I spend with them now, for that

482
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 6: week or five days whatever it is, it's obviously been

483
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 6: less the last couple of months. The time that I

484
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 6: get with them is like precious, concentrated me and him.

485
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 6: So there's a power within that, and it it eases

486
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 6: my mind with it a bit, so it makes it

487
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 6: easier to manage. The second one was how will I

488
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 6: manage having an odor m D and a younger one?

489
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 6: Yet I think when you're a dad, you just your

490
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 6: natural instincts kicking and you make them both feel safe

491
00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 6: and loved and kildful.

492
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 2: Not just absolutely, and you do such a great job

493
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 2: with that, you really do.

494
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 3: It's yeah.

495
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, Can I say one thing, I actually envy all

496
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 7: y'all situation because it's like you're going to be forced

497
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 7: to slow down a little bit. Yes, it's going to

498
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 7: be crazy. Yes, it's going to be a hectic, but

499
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 7: you're going to be forced to slow down because you

500
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:28,159
Speaker 7: have an infant. Like that would be awesome to be

501
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 7: able to sit down on a couch with a baby

502
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 7: for an hour. Like this week alone, we've had what softball, volleyball,

503
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 7: cheer basketball, It's just every single day.

504
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 4: It just gets so busy. That's so true.

505
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,199
Speaker 1: I've thought about that too, like it would be like,

506
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: I think it's good to see that as a positive

507
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: because I think I know for you you can see

508
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 1: that kind of as a negative, like slowing down or whatever.

509
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 1: But now looking at it, having fourteen, eleven and seven,

510
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: I'm like, what precious time. Yeah, to just be able

511
00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:00,120
Speaker 1: to sit and be with a baby, you know, like that's.

512
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:02,640
Speaker 5: I'm looking at this kid.

513
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: I mean you saw the other kids and they're crazy

514
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 1: and busy and all the things.

515
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 4: But that would be be nice.

516
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, cool, and it is.

517
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 2: That's a good perspective, just because I remember we were

518
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 2: a dinner with a friend and she was saying, my

519
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 2: kids are off now and I don't get to have that,

520
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 2: and so it's like enjoy each moment that you do

521
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 2: have and not try to rush it.

522
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 3: Or I bubbled really really hard. This time, I did go.

523
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,199
Speaker 3: I did come back to wind down, probably faster than

524
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 3: I should have because I don't know what I was saying,

525
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 3: But I did take myself off. I mean I was

526
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 3: like TBDLC everybody in like maybe August.

527
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 4: We actually talked about that last night.

528
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: Friends of ours were asking how you were doing and

529
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: the baby was doing, and I mentioned that as like

530
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 1: she's really hunkered down this time, and like, I'll envy that.

531
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 4: That's great. I think it's been so good for you.

532
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 5: It's not easy to do watching her do it either, sure,

533
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 5: because people are kind, they're trying to get in there

534
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 5: ran and she just wasn't having it.

535
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 3: I just know how quick it goes. Yeah, And I

536
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 3: prayed for that maybe for two years, you know, And

537
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 3: I just I think it's going to feel that way

538
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 3: to you too, that you you're older. Your perspective is

539
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 3: different when you know it's your last, it's different.

540
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 5: You know, there's a lot of wisdom in that.

541
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,199
Speaker 7: Just making sure to block that off, yeah, because that's

542
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 7: precious time you're not going to get back.

543
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, speaking speaking of our speaking of our last babe,

544
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 2: is this what was a question, is this our Is

545
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 2: this our last kid?

546
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 6: Is that someone else's question?

547
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 3: That was.

548
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:36,000

Speaker 3: you guys are one and done?

551
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 6: I would think so.

552
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 3: Okay.

553
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 2: So on that topic, he's not sure how he feels

554
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 2: about getting circums up.

555
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 5: To talk about that. I meant had a buck knife.

556

Speaker 5: We can take care of the real.

557
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,960

00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 2: get a sectomy, there's always a chance that it could

559
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 2: happen again.

560
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, we are on that topic right now.

00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 5: I google it doctor Dick Chopp, and he has a

572
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 5: March Madness deal going and are both going. You can

573
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,080

575
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:54,120

Speaker 3: Oh that's okay. No, you don't get a vacation after.

577
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 2: There is something about the time the tube tying thing

578
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 2: though that I just and again, I don't ever want

579
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 2: to carry another baby. I'll make that very clear right here.

580
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 2: We both know mama is done. I'm done carrying children.

581
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 5: You're basically smuggling a soccer ball is all you're doing

582
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 5: right now. So she's so cute.

583
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 2: But so that's that's very clear. I just the thought

584
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 2: of taking and tying. I've heard things that it could

585
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 2: be there's not there's side effects to tying tubes, but

586
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 2: also to take away that I don't know.

587
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 4: I'm not doing it.

588
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 3: I don't know how I feel about it. I feel

589
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 3: that way about it as sectomes actually like I don't,

590
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 3: but you can, but you can easily.

591
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 2: My brother sorry, no, he got a little a little

592
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,320

00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 3: Tubes, you're done. Yeah, I could not do tubes. So

596
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 3: the wheels have fallen off.

597
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,640

Speaker 2: Just gonna We're going to transition really fast. Please, how

603
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 2: does it feel coming into the step parent role?

604
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 6: Coming into it? It's something that I've done from a

605
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 6: young age with Clothia, so I've been there, and yeah,

606
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 6: the amazing kids, so it doesn't it.

607
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 7: Would be hard if you came in with like undisciplined kids.

608
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 7: I've always thought that'd be that'd be tough.

609
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think the kids are. The kids are so

610
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 6: well behaved and nice and pleasant that it makes it

611
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 6: so much easier. Really, it really does. Like if they

612
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 6: were problem children, then that would be tough. Sure, it'll

613
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 6: be tough.

614
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 2: And how much have you had to help Jana and

615
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 2: the kids understand with your accent? And is Alan worried

616
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 2: about his child becoming American accent?

617
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 9: Wise? Daily Scottish lessons, Daily Scottish lessons, daily lessons, one

618
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 9: hour a day, one hour.

619
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 3: I do you get excited to see what he'll sound like? Honestly,

620
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 3: he's going to probably sound sound pure American.

621
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 6: Troy when Troy when when I live in California, North

622
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 6: Carolina and California, Troy and Claudia, Troy ended up with

623
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 6: an American accent. Hm, it's now you know Scottish, mostly English,

624
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 6: no American in there, but they just did you. It's

625
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 6: the surroundings, the friends.

626
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 3: What will you do when he says to you, I

627
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:08,239
Speaker 3: want to snack. We're not going to Americanize him.

628
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 5: We're going to Michigan or him.

629
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 2: Alan, do you have the same respect for Mike as

630
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 2: he does for you?

631
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, I've gett No, I've got no reason to like those.

632
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 6: I don't disrespecting one. But he's a nice guy. He's

633
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 6: pleasant to me, and I will always respect Mike if

634
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 6: he respects you.

635
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 5: Mhm, that's simple.

636
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 2: Is Alan concerned that his Scottish traditions will be lost

637
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 2: being in America?

638
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 1: No Kish lessons, one hour a day?

639
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 2: How does Alan feel about Janna having to be so

640
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 2: public about her life on social media?

641
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 3: How does Alan feel about that?

642
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's It's not something I'm used to, but it's

643
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 6: something that I've adapted to. It's it can be tough

644
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 6: at times because you hear me say you a lot,

645
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 6: don't put that on Instagram, don't put that on social

646
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 6: media because because your default is uploaded regardless of what

647
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 6: it is.

648
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 3: Alan with the Christmas lights in the bush whatever, He's like, yeah.

649
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 6: Okay, but to be honest, though we have fun with it.

650
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 8: We do.

651
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 6: We have fun with it.

652
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the balance. Yeah, I think you've been

653
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 3: more private this time. Yeah for sure.

654
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 2: Okay, Parenting styles you disagree with your spell on and

655
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 2: how do you handle it?

656
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 3: Start with nick and cap.

657
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 5: Oh, I am not touching this person.

658
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 4: Parenting styles you disagree with.

659
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 7: If you go back from the beginning, you know it

660
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 7: was always we had the spanking.

661
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 1: Which is funny because you would say it. I'm like,

662
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: we are not spanking our kids, and he's like, I

663
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:36,720
Speaker 1: thought we weren't.

664
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 4: That's all I can think about now.

665
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 7: I think a lot of depends on the personality of

666
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 7: your kid, you know what I mean, Like we we parent,

667
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 7: I guess the same for all three for the most part,

668
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 7: but each kid has a different personality, so you kind

669
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 7: of there's a little more flexibility in leeway. Like we

670
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 7: give our son probably way more freedom than I had

671
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 7: at his age because he's such a mature kid.

672
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 4: Okay, so that's where we disagree.

673
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:16,320
Speaker 3: That he's not mature.

674
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,839
Speaker 1: He is, but it's like he's starting to date and

675
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: like I will question, like should he be able to

676
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: do this? And it is just a blanket like, yes,

677
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 1: you let him go with the girl, like no matter what,

678
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: the like, no questions ask it. But I'm like, so

679
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna like your daughter do that? And he's like, no,

680
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 1: you have.

681
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 4: To treat them this.

682
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 5: You do not No, you.

683
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:41,720
Speaker 4: Do not agreed a disagree?

684
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 3: No, agree to move in with me?

685
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 4: Kat Okay.

686
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 2: Over to Christen and Preston. I know, mm hmmm parenting styles.

687
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 2: Who disagree with your spouse on? How do you handle

688
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 2: the disagreement?

689
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 3: So Preston was raised really country redneck, like, yeah, yeah,

690
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 3: I had him pick the switch. You had to go

691
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 3: pick the switch, and which to.

692
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 5: Get your own switch down? And if you brought it back?

693
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:06,800
Speaker 5: And what's a switch?

694
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 3: Well, I call it a stick. If we're talking about sticks, Yeah,

695
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:15,800
Speaker 3: that's prby If it was so if traveling is so lost,

696
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:19,439
Speaker 3: you have to cut Yeah.

697
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 5: So as she say you're trouble, go get your own switch,

698
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:25,800
Speaker 5: you're gonna get whooped with it. Here was the million

699
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 5: dollar questions. So was it better to have a thicker one?

700
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 6: Oh?

701
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 5: If my if I if I brought the wrong switch home,

702
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 5: because I would test it out in the woods, I'd

703
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 5: be like, oh yeah I can handle this one. Now

704
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 5: I bring it home. She'd be like, uh, nope, now

705
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 5: you get double switches. And so if she had to

706
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 5: go get the switch and bring it back, I got

707
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 5: double switches.

708
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 8: Yeah.

709
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 5: I had to roll your jeans up. This is my

710
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 5: mom would be in jail today. You had to roll

711
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 5: your jeans up. Me and my brothers, all of us

712
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 5: did it. I had to roll your jeans up to

713
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:02,399
Speaker 5: your knees. And then she would hold your shirt by

714
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 5: the shoulder so you could or your mullet whatever she

715
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 5: can get ahold of. You're about to be a wild

716
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 5: pony right here, and so they get ahold of that

717
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 5: thing wild. She she gets you on the back of

718
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:19,359
Speaker 5: the calf with it right.

719
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 3: So, based on the success rate of how that all

720
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 3: worked out for him and the three brothers, because one

721
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 3: of three turned out fine and I married that one.

722
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 3: Based on the success rate of the switch getting. My

723
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 3: biggest thing is when it comes to parenting a boy,

724
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 3: I don't I'm I am big into feelings and I

725
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 3: don't need him. I want him to be a strong man,

726
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 3: I want him to be a leader, I want him

727
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,879
Speaker 3: all the things. I just think that our society does

728
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 3: not do a good job of letting boys also be

729
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 3: human beings that feel.

730
00:37:56,200 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 5: And meanwhile, while she's this is our I guess I'm

731
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 5: tending to the masculinity and the testosterone it's coursing through

732
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 5: his veins and he needs a man to step in

733
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 5: and teach him how to control his emotions a little

734
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 5: bit before he even speaks about his emotions, like it

735
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 5: just rolls through his blood. He is a different from

736
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,360
Speaker 5: our little girl, and I see it, and if I

737
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,919
Speaker 5: don't use a different tone with him, like my voice

738
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 5: has got to come on down a little bit. And

739
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 5: then I see his head turn and then he starts

740
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 5: to hear it and get it, and we talk about

741
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 5: things and I don't I'm not really too tough with him,

742
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 5: but you know, at first I'll be like, listen, you

743
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 5: gotta listen to me, and then we kind of like,

744
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 5: you know, debrief what we just went through.

745
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 3: But I feel like that's new because I feel like,

746
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:52,359
Speaker 3: for a while, you're like, gotta get together, like it's

747
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 3: just it was like this like shame trend, like get

748
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:56,359
Speaker 3: together and what do you do you know? And I

749
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 3: was like, Okay, well he just was in my body

750
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 3: five years ago. So that's where I have a different

751
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:02,240
Speaker 3: compassion for the court.

752
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 7: Especially with the son is the older he gets, the

753
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 7: more you'll start picking up on both sides of that.

754
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 5: And I'm so easy with all of it until her

755
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 5: top blows. When her top blows, then I it's my

756
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 5: call to action. When I hear the tone hit, she

757
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 5: storms out of the room or she says a certain phrase,

758
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 5: and I'm like, and that's my cue. And then when

759
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 5: I come in tough, then she comes running back to

760
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,240
Speaker 5: save the day, and that's frustrating.

761
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 3: Well, we're trying to break that cycle right now.

762
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 5: God's frustrating because she has blown her top. I'm coming

763
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 5: in to handle business now and we're gonna get this

764
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 5: together quick, and which I should have probably done to

765
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 5: begin with, but I let her handle the feelings. Now

766
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 5: now she's lost.

767
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 3: It those for those that couldn't see that.

768
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 5: She's lost it and headed out to the other part

769
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 5: of the house and I'm in here dealing with things,

770
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 5: you know, just grabbing.

771
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,439
Speaker 8: The mullet room.

772
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 3: And how you think it goes down.

773
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 5: The replay, Yeah, both those probably.

774
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, that appears to us though too.

775
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 1: I'm like more of the disciplinarian and then I'll lose

776
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 1: it and then I'll step out and then he'll come

777
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 1: in I'm like, why are you going to be so

778
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: hard on them?

779
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:24,840
Speaker 4: Even though and then I'll try.

780
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 8: It, I'll admit it.

781
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 1: I'll be the first to admit it, and I'll come

782
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 1: back and want to save the day so I can

783
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: even acknowledge that happens.

784
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 2: What do you think is going to happen between us

785
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 2: because we haven't really had to with because it was

786
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 2: Julie and Jace. I'm obviously the more I mean, you

787
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 2: will say, hey, don't do that, or but you don't

788
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 2: really discipline them unless like maybe a few times when

789
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 2: I've said it a million times, like listen to your

790
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 2: mother and you have my back. Well, we've all you've

791
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 2: had my back on all those things. So with now

792
00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 2: our boy, what are how do you think will parent

793
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 2: and discipline together?

794
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 3: What do you do you see an issue?

795
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 2: Not an issue, but do you see something that could

796
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 2: we could probably disagree on or not do the same

797
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 2: that might cause a little frustration.

798
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 6: I think it goes back to Preston's point where and

799
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 6: you mentioned it as well, well, your parent your parent

800
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 6: boys different to girls, and you're almost parent. There will

801
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 6: be a part of my parenting will come from my

802
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 6: dad and.

803
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 3: Because you think I baby Jace. Yeah, I wish we

804
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:37,280
Speaker 3: had camera.

805
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm not even here.

806
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 6: I think I will be the tougher one. And when

807
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:52,280
Speaker 6: I speak people, the kids will listen, and Roman will listen.

808
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:56,279
Speaker 6: But you you'll speak, You'll speak more. You'll speak more,

809
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 6: and you'll try and discipline more. And like you said,

810
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 6: you step cuting point.

811
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 5: He also has a presence like.

812
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 3: It makes me well.

813
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 2: With that said, then are you gonna do you think

814
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 2: you'll be the dad that lets the baby cry it out?

815
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 2: Or are you going to because I think that's going

816
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 2: to be our first challenge with the baby is I'm

817
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 2: going to say, let the baby cry it out, and

818
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 2: you're gonna want to go hold the baby. And I'm

819
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 2: because I'm very strict with the sleep training. That's I've

820
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 2: always been very strict with that and obviously don't let

821
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 2: him cry out to it, you know, the crazy degree.

822
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:38,800
Speaker 2: But I'm also you had they have to comfort themselves

823
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,839
Speaker 2: at a certain point, and so would you go in

824
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 2: and so I'm just curious where you were. Your softness

825
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 2: with that will.

826
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 6: Be Yeah, with stuff like that will probably be soft

827
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 6: m hmm.

828
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 2: I see I see you going in yeah, yeah.

829
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 5: Good luck.

830
00:42:56,320 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 7: When you looking back when we kids catching the baby wise,

831
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 7: what does it saying, Oh, I've already.

832
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 2: I'm already I'm the baby wise out. I'm already starting

833
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 2: to print out the schedule like for each week like

834
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:10,800
Speaker 2: boom boom boom, boom boom.

835
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 7: I will say, that'll make your life in the long run.

836
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 7: It'll make it better, far better when you have it scheduled.

837
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 3: Alan, call me when you want to be soft buddy,

838
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,439
Speaker 3: because I'm the softie. There's no crying it out, there's

839
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 3: no schedule. There's just a lot of skin to getting

840
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 3: to watch.

841
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:32,360
Speaker 5: I mean, like the wife's man, they have a language

842
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 5: they can talk to the kids that nobody else can really.

843
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know what it is. She can

844
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 5: come in and save the day, and it's like, I

845
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:43,359
Speaker 5: don't know how she tapped into that little that little

846
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,319
Speaker 5: phrase that diffused the whole thing. But that's cool to

847
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 5: watch and I learned from that all the time.

848
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 2: Uh, the stress you feel as a dad that you

849
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 2: don't want your wife to know.

850
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 5: I think.

851
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 7: Personalities come into play here. I've always had that personality

852
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 7: of who want it done right?

853
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 5: I got to do it now. I live with this whole.

854
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 7: Oh my God, if I were to die tomorrow, everybody

855
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 7: else is screwed. And that's not true, but that's that's

856
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 7: kind of the stress we live in. You know, I

857
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 7: have to take care of these three kids and her

858
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 7: and if something happens to me, then my God was

859
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 7: going to happen to them, And that's not exactly truth,

860
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 7: but we kind of live with that that we are

861
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 7: the provider role, which we are I believe, you know,

862
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 7: that's how God called us to be the steward and

863
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:44,319
Speaker 7: take care of our families. But with that comes a

864
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 7: lot of added stress, and that's probably that's always been

865
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:53,799
Speaker 7: a little bit of a conflict in my spiritual battle. Yes,

866
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:58,359
Speaker 7: I fully trust and rely on God. However I tend

867
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 7: to act like it relies on me. Mm hmm, and

868
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 7: I think that's.

869
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 6: Yeah.

870
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 7: For me, that's definitely it is the being the provider

871
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 7: and if I don't take care of things, they'll never

872
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:10,360
Speaker 7: get done.

873
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 3: Allan mhm.

874
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 6: Someone school full slight and think of it. That's more so.

875
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 5: I don't understand the question.

876
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 4: Nick got deep, Alan skipped.

877
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 5: Say it again, but maybe slower or something. I don't know.

878
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:32,879
Speaker 2: The stress you feel as a dad that you don't

879
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 2: want your wife to know about.

880
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 5: I don't want my wife to know about.

881
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:40,879
Speaker 3: That she's about to find out about, man.

882
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 5: I mean, I think she knows about all the stress

883
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 5: I'm feeling. I don't think there's anything that I don't

884
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,879
Speaker 5: think there's any stress. I'm pretty transparent about what's going on.

885
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 5: One thing, that one thing that I learned early on

886
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 5: was like I was just always on the phone and

887
00:45:54,840 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 5: dealing with whatever deals and songs and record deals and

888
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:03,840
Speaker 5: things just always always happening. And so I learned to

889
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:05,959
Speaker 5: like kind of take some things into the other room,

890
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 5: make them a little bit more concise, a little bit quicker,

891
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 5: and then get back to family time, you know what

892
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,840
Speaker 5: I mean. So I would I had the benefit of

893
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 5: kind of dealing with all these deals at home, and

894
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 5: so I try to I try to take that stress

895
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:22,399
Speaker 5: into the other room and don't let it come back

896
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:23,880
Speaker 5: into the other room. It took me a lot of

897
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 5: years to do that, Like I would carry the stress

898
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 5: back into the family time and then I would let

899
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 5: and it still does. I mean, look was just real life.

900
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 5: But I know for sure that I'm holding things back

901
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 5: that I don't want to affect our time as a family,

902
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:43,439
Speaker 5: and I don't want to like my worry if man,

903
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 5: the stress of losing a record deal or something like

904
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:49,760
Speaker 5: that that's a lot in this town. Or the stress

905
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 5: of a song that's been cruising up the charts and

906
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:54,400
Speaker 5: now it's at thirty two and you just got a

907
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 5: phone call that it's over. It's just done. The last

908
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:02,400
Speaker 5: nine months of your life is just for nothing in

909
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 5: a sense, and you are really gambling on that thing

910
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:07,719
Speaker 5: to get to the top twenty or the top ten.

911
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 5: Now I got to go in and take the kids

912
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:12,759
Speaker 5: to Chuck E Cheese and I'm like, everybody's having a

913
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 5: good time, and I'm like, our song just died. It's

914
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:19,360
Speaker 5: like losing a part of you. And so there's like

915
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:22,759
Speaker 5: this grief that comes with like losing a song. I

916
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 5: don't get to grieve over in front of anyone. And so,

917
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:28,440
Speaker 5: and we've had our share of losses, we've had our

918
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 5: share of hits. We've had our share of losses. And

919
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:33,839
Speaker 5: those days when you lose a record dealer, you lose

920
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 5: a song, or you lose some deal that was important

921
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:40,439
Speaker 5: to providing for your family in the long run. Man,

922
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:43,319
Speaker 5: you're just like, Wow, that's hard, you know, And that's

923
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 5: like any that's probably all dudes in a different kind

924
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:50,920
Speaker 5: of business and in their situations, you know, with their jobs.

925
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:54,400
Speaker 5: So I think we you just have to turn that

926
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 5: off and don't let that hang into your life, you know,

927
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:00,879
Speaker 5: and effect, because man, at the end of the day,

928
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 5: the kids are the only thing that's going to make

929
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 5: you feel better anyway. You know, the kids are. They

930
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:07,320
Speaker 5: love you. If you're living in a cardboard box or

931
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:09,920
Speaker 5: if you're you know, got the number one saw on

932
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 5: the radio, it just doesn't matter to them. And that's

933
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:15,360
Speaker 5: the thing that you have to learn. It's tough.

934
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 6: I think I think you're pretty good that I know

935
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 6: when you're stressed, and you know when I'm stressed, and

Speaker 5: to take off like a rocket and it's all going

1092
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:00,800
Speaker 5: to be a snap of a finger. I know you

1093
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:04,200
Speaker 5: guys are in it right now what you said about

1094
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:07,279
Speaker 5: all the different events, But before you know it, they're

1095
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:09,640
Speaker 5: all going to be in school someplace and you're gonna

1096
00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:11,480
Speaker 5: be like wishing you could go to the soccer game

1097
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:14,960
Speaker 5: and the cheerleading in and dance and so sometow somehow

1098
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:17,840
Speaker 5: embrace that, you know. I mean, it's not easy. We

1099
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:21,720
Speaker 5: got to be everywhere at once, but nxs.

1100
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:28,520
Speaker 7: Just you're gonna have highs, You're gonna have lows. Just

1101
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:31,960
Speaker 7: never give up. You just you never know what's right

1102
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:36,880
Speaker 7: around the corner. And learn from your past mistakes, walking

1103
00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:39,480
Speaker 7: each day with more wisdom.

1104
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:40,120
Speaker 5: You know.

1105
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:47,160
Speaker 7: Don't don't let something you've gone through in the past

1106
00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:50,919
Speaker 7: not prepare you for the future. If that makes sense.

1107
00:57:53,600 --> 00:58:00,760
Speaker 7: There's wisdom and everything. And it took me to my

1108
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:03,440
Speaker 7: age now to kind of realize that. So now I'm

1109
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:05,280
Speaker 7: kind of looking back on things that we may have

1110
00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 7: gone through in the past and Okay, what could I

1111
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:09,760
Speaker 7: have learned from those moments.

1112
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:12,640
Speaker 5: That may have prepared me better?

1113
00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 7: In presence, man, just be present, Be present for your kids,

1114
00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:21,720
Speaker 7: be present for your your spouse. And that's tough, especially

1115
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:24,720
Speaker 7: with you know, careers like we have. It's it's never on,

1116
00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:30,640
Speaker 7: I'm saying, fully on, never off. So you always have

1117
00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:33,480
Speaker 7: to make that time.

1118
00:58:33,600 --> 00:58:34,560
Speaker 5: For your relationship.

1119
00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:42,760
Speaker 6: How do I follow PASTA.

1120
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:50,919
Speaker 5: I jumped in real quick because I thought about that.

1121
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:52,760
Speaker 6: Every phrase mindfulness, present.

1122
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:55,800
Speaker 4: That's how I feel about girls.

1123
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:03,360
Speaker 2: People just want to hear you talk anyways. So it's

1124
00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:05,560
Speaker 2: it's a twinkled twinkle little.

1125
00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:06,080
Speaker 5: Star, I think.

1126
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:10,320
Speaker 6: I think it's and this comes with maturity as well.

1127
00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:14,080
Speaker 6: I think just recognizing because I was guilty when I

1128
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:17,960
Speaker 6: was when I was a young father with Troy, like

1129
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:20,960
Speaker 6: I was a professional footballer, and a lot of it

1130
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:23,520
Speaker 6: had to be about my match day on a Saturday.

1131
00:59:23,560 --> 00:59:25,680
Speaker 6: How do how do I get what I need? And

1132
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:30,280
Speaker 6: and as you mature, obviously Troy is older now and

1133
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:32,800
Speaker 6: the baby's on its way, but as you mature, it's

1134
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:34,840
Speaker 6: almost like what's best for everyone?

1135
00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:35,560
Speaker 3: Mhm.

1136
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:38,520
Speaker 6: You need to take care of what you need as

1137
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:41,439
Speaker 6: a man and as a father, and but what's best

1138
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:43,520
Speaker 6: for what's what's the best thing for everyone?

1139
00:59:43,560 --> 00:59:47,720
Speaker 2: It's almost like that piece of selfishness is not there. Yeah,

1140
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:52,200
Speaker 2: it's beautiful. Well, boys, we appreciate you. Thank you for

1141
00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:55,040
Speaker 2: coming on. And this is fun.

1142
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:57,520
Speaker 3: Let's uh, this is let's go have a baby.

1143
00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:02,360
Speaker 5: It's happening and minute, let's go have a baby.

1144
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:04,320
Speaker 2: All right, guys, Well, thank you for coming on. We

1145
01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 2: really appreciate you. Any last words, Kristin, You're always good

1146
01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:09,920
Speaker 2: with the last.

1147
01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:16,040
Speaker 3: Word in closing, I just think it's really important in

1148
01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:19,680
Speaker 3: parenthood and marriage, relationships, friendships, anything, just to say what

1149
01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:22,160
Speaker 3: you want, what you need, and what you feel. And

1150
01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:25,280
Speaker 3: I think that we can't expect anyone to understand what

1151
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:27,640
Speaker 3: we need or predict what we need without vocalizing it.

1152
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:29,560
Speaker 3: I think that has been a game changer for us

1153
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:32,720
Speaker 3: as parents and in our marriage. Is just me saying

1154
01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:36,520
Speaker 3: I need more help in the mornings. I need to

1155
01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:39,840
Speaker 3: date you. I need to feel like a girlfriend. That's

1156
01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:42,520
Speaker 3: recently been a big one. So I just think if

1157
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:44,480
Speaker 3: we all just communicate a little more, then I think

1158
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:46,480
Speaker 3: it solves a lot of problems. Nobody's a mind reader,

1159
01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:50,680
Speaker 3: and especially when you're not sleeping, postpartum depression and anxiety

1160
01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:52,080
Speaker 3: are a real thing. If you feel like you're too

1161
01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:53,880
Speaker 3: low or too anxious, you need to talk to a

1162
01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:56,919
Speaker 3: healthcare provider or counselor don't be afraid to admit it

1163
01:00:56,960 --> 01:01:00,000
Speaker 3: is the most common of all things. And you don't

1164
01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:02,560
Speaker 3: lose any mom credibility by having those two things.

1165
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 2: Amen, all right, see you next week. I'm the kind

1166
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:09,040
Speaker 2: of three one, two three, Bye

1167
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:18,800
Speaker 8: H
