Yeah, I was saying that. I

4:58

remember when, you know, he was, what

5:00

was he, around one years old,

5:02

and you guys were like, why, he's

5:05

not talking, I want him to talk,

5:07

I want him to, you're just like

5:09

so ready for him to just

5:12

grow up, you're like, yeah, I

5:14

wanted to be a little person. I

5:16

was like, he was very speech

5:18

delayed, and yeah, nobody talks

5:20

about how when you have a

5:22

baby, they're kind of like, um.

5:24

They're not there like I always

5:27

call it waking up when they

5:29

start to talk and get their

5:31

personality Even when they start smiling

5:33

when they're like baby baby. They're

5:35

so cute. They're so delicious But

5:38

all they're doing is surviving like

5:40

crying pooping being yeah They can't

5:42

like say like that you and they

5:44

can't like say thank you and you're

5:46

so exhausted and so when they finally

5:48

like Barry just started going well you

5:50

at like a year and a year

5:52

and a half So you wait like

5:54

a year and a half for any

5:57

type of acknowledgement and then once they

5:59

start recognizing you. Like when Barry

6:01

looks at me and goes,

6:03

Mama, it feels like when

6:05

your favorite celebrity ever

6:08

looks at you and is like,

6:10

hey, Megan, like it feels, you're

6:12

like, he knows my name, you

6:14

know, he looks at me, he

6:16

goes, aye, aye. Yeah, that's his

6:18

version of right, right. I'm like, oh,

6:21

a little man. He knows you.

6:23

It's so funny. Barry calls Justin

6:25

Bubba. That's the best. And that's

6:28

his only name. And no

6:30

one taught him that. He just

6:32

designated that to Justin. And he

6:35

goes, Bubba? Like that. He's like,

6:37

yes. But yeah, being a parent,

6:39

Rox, I cannot believe we

6:41

have a four-year-old. It doesn't

6:43

make any sense. Hurry up so that

6:45

I can have cousins for them.

6:47

They have not that many friends.

6:50

They have plenty of friends,

6:52

you know. I mean, how great was Spike.

6:54

Spike. Yeah, he's got this best

6:56

friend named Spike and he he's

6:58

obsessed with marriage right now Riley

7:00

my four-year-old oh really because every

7:02

night we watch music videos and

7:05

he always wants to end on

7:07

My Mary Me music video if

7:09

you haven't checked it out linked

7:11

below Because it's our wedding video

7:13

basically with my song Mary Me

7:15

that I wrote for Darryle when we

7:17

wrote one month in dating. Oh you

7:20

wrote that one month into dating

7:22

on our first month anniversary on

7:24

my ukulelei in front of

7:27

his face. Wow. It's the first

7:29

song I wrote in front of

7:31

him. So check it out. It's

7:33

so cute. Riley sings it every

7:35

night. I just sing it to

7:37

him all night last night. And

7:40

then he's obsessed and he's like,

7:42

Mom, Mom, I want to marry

7:44

you. I was like, oh, buddy.

7:46

You get to marry whoever you.

7:48

And he's like, oh. I'll marry

7:50

Spikey. And I was like, that's

7:52

a great idea. Yeah, because we

7:54

love each other. Yeah. I was like,

7:56

exactly. To him, it's just, it

7:58

just means getting dis- spend the

8:00

rest of your life with someone

8:03

that you love. It could be,

8:05

and it's anybody, he's just, I

8:07

wanna marry everyone that I love.

8:09

And that is marriage, you know? Yeah.

8:11

There's a weird pocket in marriage

8:14

that we're in right now. It feels

8:16

weird that he's not here and I'm

8:18

talking about it. We're like, you have

8:20

young kids and nothing is like

8:23

hot anymore? Because you're wiping bookies and butts

8:25

all day, you know? The game has changed.

8:27

The game has changed. And the game is different. Just

8:29

you too. You take care of just you too. Now

8:31

you gotta keep. You gotta really work on like, I

8:33

love you. Yeah, you gotta check in. The check-ins are

8:36

like, if there was no check-ins, you build

8:38

up this anger. It is the killer

8:40

of relationships. That's why I always tell

8:42

people when they ask me advice, like

8:45

communicate, communicate, communicate, communicate, communicate, communicate, communicate,

8:47

everything. because I we did the other

8:49

day on accident where like he gave

8:52

attitude so I built up in my

8:54

head will F you and then I

8:56

gave that attitude back to him not

8:58

speaking my mind and he was like

9:01

well she sucks she hates me you know

9:03

and then we come up to each other

9:05

later like taking air from water

9:07

and he's like I just want

9:09

you to like me again. And I'm

9:11

like, oh I love you. And he's

9:14

like, I can tell you don't. And

9:16

I'm like, wait, you know. Because like

9:18

you don't speak. And the best thing

9:20

that taught me that was like, my

9:22

friend went on a retreat where you

9:25

don't speak. And she's like, the way

9:27

our brains work when people aren't speaking

9:30

to each other is so crazy. Because

9:32

she's like, for days, the way this

9:34

person looked at me, this person looked

9:36

at me, And when I went up

9:38

to her, she was like, do you

9:41

hate me? And she was like, what

9:43

are you talking about? You know, like,

9:45

you just make, it's like when you

9:47

get a text message and you

9:50

read it the wrong

9:52

way. Communication. Communication is

9:54

everything. Yeah. I wanted to thank

9:56

you guys for hosting Super Bowl

9:58

Sunday yesterday. No, no,

10:00

it was I'm getting to

10:03

that. Oh, okay. Sorry.

10:05

Because I always feel

10:07

bad. Why? Because you guys

10:10

are raising these toddlers. So it's,

10:12

you know, it gets close to

10:14

dinner time, bath time. I'm like,

10:16

we gotta get the phone. You

10:18

were good. Yeah, you're like, let's

10:21

get out of here. I felt

10:23

bad because McGumie wanted to stay

10:25

and I was like, well, she

10:27

wants to stay, let her stay.

10:29

She wanted to say, because she

10:31

didn't want to miss Alex, Earl. And

10:34

Jake Shane. Oh, I saw it. I

10:36

loved it. It was incredible. So I

10:38

was like, oh, that was nice.

10:40

I understand. That was nice. But

10:43

you can watch it on this. I

10:45

go, God, get the fuck out of

10:47

here. Yeah. They did birthday. And you

10:49

started the day before. Yeah, I was like,

10:51

let's get a move. We did. We

10:53

watched halftime show. Now we go,

10:56

because it was a bath. But yeah, I could such

10:58

a little tension in the air, you know, it's all in the

11:00

air. Oh, we need to wrangle up. Yeah, you know what's

11:02

good though? You got to do bats. It was good

11:04

though after that he kept apologizing. He's like, I know

11:06

what I did. I snapped. Yeah. I don't even mind

11:08

if he snaps. It's like. Snapping in front

11:10

of my family is embarrassing. I'm like,

11:13

oh, now they think we're fighting, you

11:15

know? Well, because, but I know that

11:17

it's not fighting. I know it's just,

11:19

it's raising kids. Yeah, we're gonna delay

11:21

that for a while. Yeah, he's very

11:23

stressed. He was overwhelmed. He like, cooked

11:25

their dinner. Well, it's back to back.

11:27

It was back to back. Birthday. Super

11:29

Bowl. back to back. We're all trying to

11:31

make the half time. Yeah. He's like, well, they

11:33

need to eat way over here away from

11:35

the TV. And I was like, but it's

11:37

half time. It's like the only half time

11:40

they'll ever be. They can eat in 10

11:42

minutes, you know, right? And you know, sometimes

11:44

you can. Yeah, well, because Darryl and it's

11:46

the best thing for kids, right? Schedule,

11:48

schedule, schedule, schedules, and doing the

11:51

same thing every day. Yeah. But then

11:53

I understand your point where it's like, it's

11:55

a super bullets once a year. Yeah,

11:57

like sometimes he's so strict and I'm

11:59

like, hey. Hey, we got life to live

12:01

style it back. Let's dial it back.

12:04

Like it doesn't hey Sergeant Darryl It

12:06

also it was like 524 and he's like

12:08

they eat at 530 every night and I

12:10

was like yeah, and we got six minutes

12:12

So relax like it was a lot of

12:14

that. Yeah, so I was I was just like

12:16

yeah, let's move after this You're good. All night.

12:18

I love him all night long. He was like

12:21

I can't believe I did that. I'm so sorry.

12:23

I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry Just that you

12:25

know, like just that you were aware and you

12:27

know, that's huge. People don't do that.

12:29

That's like, you're fully forgiven. You're

12:32

fine. Hard is for a man with a small

12:34

ego to admit that they, they're like, I was

12:36

in the wrong. Guys don't do that for some

12:38

reason. They don't do that. And I was like,

12:40

that's why you're my forever. Because you can see

12:42

that. A lot of men don't do that.

12:44

Yeah. People fuck up. Especially with raising kids.

12:46

You be like. I made a mistake. Yeah,

12:49

we're going to make mistakes all

12:51

the time. That's like a great

12:53

thing in relationship. You're going to

12:55

make mistakes, know that you will,

12:58

and then be like, oopsies, I

13:00

fucked up, I'm sorry. You know?

13:02

My favorite quote from, I believe,

13:04

yeah, it was Michelle Obama. She's

13:07

talking about raising kids with

13:09

Brock, and she's like, you know, I

13:11

didn't like them for 10 years. But

13:13

I loved him. Did I like

13:15

him for those first 10

13:17

years? Or he's like, no,

13:19

but I love him. Like

13:21

that's like very, that's a

13:23

great definition of probably what it's

13:26

like. I don't know what it's

13:28

like, but exactly. No, yeah.

13:30

I don't have when the comedians

13:32

are like, you're not in

13:34

love if you don't want to

13:37

murder, you're a partner. And I'm

13:39

like, that's bad. Yeah, I was like,

13:41

no, I don't dream of like

13:43

killing him. Like, see that attitude?

13:46

But like he's already, he's

13:48

such, like, men are so a

13:50

little bit better now, where

13:52

like a lot of, like, oh,

13:55

that's what we were talking about,

13:57

the dads nowadays? The dads

13:59

now? days. They're like saying

14:01

I love you to their kids. Oh, I

14:03

guess that's new. That's new, my

14:05

been working on working on it.

18:50

Yeah, we did get. I love you

18:52

a lot. But, um, as I just sneak

18:54

away from both of my boys to come

18:57

back out. I saw you, you got out of there.

18:59

We were talking about communication

19:01

is key. Yeah, I was, I was

19:03

thinking, I was thinking guys for hosting

19:05

Super Bowl, but I was like, it's

19:07

gotta be tough back to back. I

19:10

could sensual, I could sense a little,

19:12

I was like, it's stressful times, uh,

19:14

dinner time, bathtime, bedtime. But I said

19:17

the fact that you. the

19:19

fact that you recognized it

19:21

all night long and was

19:23

like, I'm sorry, it was a

19:25

lot. And I was like,

19:27

that's everything. Because a

19:30

lot of men can't do

19:32

that. I know, it just

19:34

doesn't take back the time,

19:36

you know? So sweet. Just

19:38

wish I had a time

19:40

machine. But thank you. I

19:42

appreciate you. You were like, hey, are

19:45

you good? And I was like, no.

19:47

I get overwhelmed. Yeah. And so it

19:49

was just like dog needed to eat,

19:51

kids needed to eat, Kendrick was coming

19:53

up. Yeah. Riley still hadn't pooped. And I'm

19:55

also getting, Riley's going through a

19:57

poop regression and I'm getting so stressed.

19:59

Yeah, and it's so hard because the

20:02

one thing that he needs is to

20:04

not feel my stress and I just

20:06

like just like he can't help Like

20:09

going to the bathroom. I can't

20:11

help not stressing. You know because

20:13

we feel bad of the pain he's in

20:15

and like but I don't think he's

20:17

in pain. I don't think he's in

20:19

pain. I don't think he's in pain.

20:22

I can't tell because I'm like does

20:24

your tummy her? He's like yeah, my

20:26

tummy He's top tier. He puts on

20:28

a show. It's four. They

20:30

manipulate and you're like,

20:32

I'll give you anything. He's

20:35

mimicked Barry's like cry wine

20:37

to a teeth. Spot on. Yeah. Yeah.

20:39

He does it. It's so

20:41

so obnoxious when Barry starts

20:43

crying. And Riley's like, yeah,

20:46

to double the volume. I'm like,

20:48

whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. We're like,

20:50

we immediately go, Riley, don't copy

20:53

him. Yeah. But it all worked out,

20:55

except Riley still hasn't pooped yet, but

20:57

he will. Yeah, he will. Still has

20:59

pooped, day five? No, no, day four,

21:01

day four. Day four. That's why you running

21:03

him around yesterday was a... It was

21:05

a godsend. It was a godsend. Yeah.

21:07

Because when he has his belly egg

21:09

or constipation, he wants to lay down

21:11

on the floor. He wants to play

21:14

on the floor. And we're all, we,

21:16

our amazing nanny sings, move your body

21:18

boy. Makes the poo poo go. So

21:20

that's what we sing all the time

21:22

to him. And yeah, he does not

21:24

want to move. Yeah. Pooping as a

21:26

kid is weird though. Never made sense

21:28

to me. The pediatrician was

21:30

like, if you have one bad

21:32

poop experience, you're never going to

21:35

go, you're not going to want

21:37

to. Uh-oh, that bad things coming

21:39

back. I remember being really high

21:41

and I pooped and it brought

21:43

me back to being a kid

21:45

pooping. I don't like this. You

21:48

told me that you were like

21:50

leaving my body. Remember you said

21:52

it's like a slithery snake. Coming

21:55

out of me. Coming out of my

21:57

butt. Yeah. And I was like reaching 19.

21:59

Yeah. I had the most my

22:01

first like traumatic experience was in

22:03

preschool. I held my poop in

22:06

every day. I never pooped at

22:08

school to the point where he got

22:10

it from somewhere. That's genetics. Our

22:12

nanny was like at one at

22:14

some point it's genetics and I

22:16

was like yeah. I remember dude

22:18

I did not poop and I

22:20

was like ill and then I

22:22

had explosive diarrhea like like like like

22:25

that and I looked in the bathroom and

22:27

was just like oh I was in We

22:29

Whalers, which was our preschool, and like didn't

22:31

even know how to recover from that. I

22:33

don't know if someone wiped me, I don't

22:35

know if I made it, but I remember

22:38

being like, this can never happen again. And

22:40

I never pooped ever again into school, and

22:42

it sucked. And then Justin our little

22:44

brother, he couldn't pee at school.

22:46

Could you imagine? At preschool. So they

22:48

called my dad. Maybe he was in

22:51

the toilet. They called my father and

22:53

said there's an emergency. Your boy has

22:55

to pee and he won't. And dad

22:57

drove all the way from work. Oh

22:59

yeah. You didn't know about this? This

23:01

is why our kid is sweet. My

23:03

dad drove all the way from work

23:05

to go into this preschool to place

23:08

his hand on Justin's shoulder and go.

23:10

It's all right son. And he starts

23:12

pissing. That's in

23:14

our jeans, and I'm so sorry. Yeah.

23:16

Whoa. Could you imagine? So yes,

23:18

this all makes sense, and he

23:21

will be okay. All right, it's

23:23

only half, only half the jeans.

23:25

Because me, I remember pooping

23:27

in my pants in preschool.

23:29

Like, you did? Yeah, just had

23:32

to poop, and I remember looking

23:34

out, and there was a tail behind

23:36

me, and I was like, well,

23:38

there it is. What do you mean

23:40

there was a tail behind you?

23:43

Poop my pants. He looked

23:46

in his pants and there's

23:48

a band. Yeah, yeah. So, you know,

23:50

your side holds it in, my

23:52

side, just let it go. Yeah. It's

23:55

all about timing. Yeah. Do

23:57

you remember pooping your pants?

24:01

I have like this weird

24:03

vivid memory. I feel

24:05

like it was when

24:07

I first spawned in. I

24:09

was like, yeah, three, yeah,

24:11

three, wearing a diaper

24:13

or a pull-up and saying

24:16

goodbye to mom, just going

24:18

to work. I was sad.

24:21

And then I pooped.

24:23

Put my finger in

24:25

it. Yes. Grandma I pooped.

24:27

I think I remember this. Yeah.

24:30

It's great. But raising kids. Raising

24:32

kids is messy. Whole thing. It's

24:34

a whole thing. I told them there's a

24:36

pocket. But it's healing. Yeah, you heal

24:39

a lot of your childhood trauma too through

24:41

it. Now I see like, oh no,

24:43

I held so much poop in like.

24:45

My intestines must be fried, you know,

24:47

and you want to heal your gut.

24:49

But I told them there's a pocket

24:51

when you have young kids in your

24:53

marriage where nothing is like sexy or

24:56

silly or fun anymore just because you're

24:58

wiping, like every night when I put

25:00

Riley to bed at the very end

25:02

when I'm like, okay, I have one

25:04

more minute. He goes, my nose is

25:06

blocked with puggers. Will you get them?

25:08

And then I have to dig out

25:10

these giant bat buggers. And then I

25:12

go into see Darryl. Don't look at

25:15

me. I'm like, I have to go shower

25:17

my shame. You know, I'm not like

25:19

going in there like, it's at

25:21

a time now. Yeah, I'm just

25:23

like, I'm gonna put on murder

25:25

right now and I'm gonna go

25:27

to sleep. That's why I

25:29

think, you know, some married

25:32

couples take little staycations. Oh,

25:34

he wants to do a little

25:37

vacation trips and I'm like, oh,

25:39

exhausting, but like it could be

25:41

good. We've been lucky enough to

25:43

go on a couple of vacations together

25:46

and they're like a week long I'm

25:48

talking like 48 hours tops No, in and

25:50

out. Yeah, that could be fun. I've

25:52

never been to Cabo. I've never been

25:54

to Mexico Yeah, we love to go little

25:57

weekend getaways Barry does this thing

25:59

with me every time I put him

26:01

to bed I'm changing his diaper

26:03

last time changing his diaper of the

26:05

night and he just looks at me

26:07

and is like and always parts

26:10

it's a talent I saw it once

26:12

I wouldn't say once I was like

26:14

there's no way and he did it and

26:16

I was like oh that's incredible I don't

26:18

know why but it's like it's like

26:20

his thing now he's just like oh

26:23

last time to get it out so I

26:25

mean the funniest thing was when

26:27

we got to join for bathtime

26:29

on the chair Yeah, just arch

26:31

back, just prrrrrr. Yeah, he's our

26:33

farter dude. It was a scene.

26:35

I'm glad you got to witness

26:37

at once. That's every night. And

26:39

now, bearing the bath is a monster.

26:42

They've been splashing and every

26:44

night he gets fully drenched.

26:47

And I'm like, oh man, sorry.

26:49

He's gonna be the cannon bawler

26:51

because he's already, he stands up,

26:53

he stands up, and then he

26:56

just plops down. Yeah. I'm like, that's

26:58

so dangerous, get down. I always, now he knows

27:00

like, it's like a game to him, he'll stand

27:02

up on something. And he looks at me, he's

27:04

like, get your booty down. He's like, and balls.

27:06

I'm like, it's not a safe game. It's like

27:09

when Kendrick looked on the camera, I went, hey

27:11

Drake. He literally gets me that face. Yeah,

27:13

that's just like, I'm up to no good here. I

27:15

can't. I'm up to know. I can't wait to watch to watch

27:17

you be a dad, you be a dad, you be a dad,

27:19

dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad,

27:21

dad, dad, dad, dad, though. You're gonna be the

27:23

funniest. I mean, just can't wait. Just can't wait.

27:26

What do you... Listen, watching him be an uncle

27:28

is... You're so good at it. These kids adore you.

27:30

That's the fun stuff. The fun stuff. The fun stuff

27:32

is the easy stuff. I get, you know, the fun

27:34

stuff is the easy stuff. I get, you know,

27:36

the outcome is fun as well. I've also noticed

27:38

that every time you and McGoomim come over, come

27:40

over, every single time, the past, the past like

27:42

five times, like five times, like five times, someone's,

27:44

someone's, someone's, someone's, someone's, someone's crying.

27:46

Someone's crying. Just the chaos has

27:49

arrived. Yeah. Yeah. Let's put it

27:51

on a fucking show. Yeah. I

27:53

have noticed that too. And every time

27:55

I go, no, it's going to make him

27:57

not want kids. In my head, I'm like,

27:59

oh. They were so cute 10 minutes

28:01

ago. Yeah, they got to look like,

28:04

well, look how fun. Look how fun

28:06

that is. For like the nightmare moments,

28:08

you know? And the nightmare moments aren't

28:10

even that bad. I think the worst

28:13

thing, the worst thing to experience, which

28:15

my friend is going through right now,

28:17

is when your kid is like very sick

28:19

and you don't know why, like hives

28:21

all over their body, swollen, and

28:23

you're just like, like, I've only

28:26

seen him cry like twice in his

28:28

whole life. but the rest of the time is

28:30

at dream. Yeah, because the screaming like

28:32

I've gotten pretty used to at this

28:34

point. Yeah, you know, that'd be blocking

28:37

out. Yeah, okay. This is what they do. You

28:39

know, yeah. But the men parenting,

28:41

like dads nowadays is so crazy

28:43

different. Like the amount of times I

28:45

was, I had a great childhood and

28:47

a great dad and great mama, but

28:50

the timeouts, dude, where I'd be like, go

28:52

to you, they'd be like, go to your room

28:54

and sit alone and sit alone. Nobody

28:56

wants to hang out on me now.

28:59

Like, now we do a whole, like,

29:01

let's take deep breaths. We get on

29:03

our knees and we're gonna do eye

29:05

contact. We're like, hey, buddy, it's gonna

29:07

be okay. Do you need a hug?

29:10

And it's so cute too to be

29:12

like, we go, like, are you having

29:14

a big feeling? And then we go,

29:17

was that not your favorite? He got

29:19

his shots the other day and he

29:21

was crying and was like, he just

29:24

goes, it's not my favorite. It's not

29:26

my favorite. That was not

29:28

my favorite. Yeah, that's not

29:30

your favorite. It's okay. And

29:33

then he'd be fine and then

29:35

he'd go like this. Oh! Yeah,

29:37

all over again. You're like, oh

29:39

my arm! Yeah. Yeah. That's him,

29:41

right? That's me. That's me.

29:43

Yeah. And I'm like, did I

29:46

show him something recently? Like how,

29:48

it's just in our blood, dude.

29:50

Yeah. My little anxious boy holding his poop,

29:53

that's me. I can't remember this doctor's name,

29:55

but she was on a podcast. Some kids are

29:57

more porous than others. She's like, I got two

29:59

kids. One kid, we're walking around New

30:01

York, she's like, it stinks, I hate

30:03

this, and there's too many people, and

30:05

there's, and she's like, she really feels

30:08

everything, she's poor, she takes everything in

30:10

from her environment. My son, he walks

30:12

around, yeah, whatever. Yeah. And then, but he'll

30:14

have his moment where if some, if you

30:16

challenge his authority explodes. Oh. So he's

30:18

pretty chill. That's what I feel like

30:20

Barry will have, Barry's already upset when

30:22

we take things away, when we take things

30:25

away. Like Riley. didn't know what

30:27

was going on. Barry's like, if

30:29

Riley takes a toy from him, he's

30:31

like, oh, and it's over. It's to

30:33

the point where if I put on a

30:35

shirt that he's not into. Yeah, Riley

30:37

still doesn't have an opinion

30:39

of what he wears. We pick

30:42

it out and we go, sweet around

30:44

and put something over Barry's head

30:46

and look down and get

30:48

like, yeah, shaking his head

30:50

immediately now. Is it uncom or is

30:52

like, not this one? And I like,

30:55

I try to lay out their office

30:57

the night before, because he always gets

30:59

up with them early in the morning.

31:01

They come wake me up, it's middle

31:04

tree. So I'm like, Darryl, I got

31:06

their office. They always come out with

31:08

something different. I'm like, what

31:10

happened? He's like, Barry didn't like

31:12

it. And I'm like, what? But I've

31:14

seen him do it. But I've seen

31:17

him do it. But I've seen him do

31:19

it. He's an interesting. He's

31:21

gonna be our Barry is Darry. Barry's

31:24

me. Yeah. Emotional. Little

31:26

farther. Little fart

31:28

emotional boy. He's a July,

31:30

he's a cancer baby. Oh.

31:32

Birthday party. Yeah. Trolls. Barry

31:35

was living his best. Oh

31:37

yeah. Riley was like, I'm

31:39

not sure about these trolls.

31:41

Because also, we had, we, um.

31:44

Riley, I saw his fate. I

31:46

was standing next to him. He,

31:48

he was just like putting on

31:50

a bit. Let's tell them what

31:53

it was though. We hired these

31:55

people to come over in costumes

31:57

that look like Poppy from Trolls

31:59

and Branch. on the website.

32:01

They looked like Poppy and

32:03

Branch. Dood, we got caught.

32:05

Listen, they did a great

32:07

job. Yes, and they were

32:09

great and the kids got

32:12

it. But clearly they made

32:14

their own costumes. Yeah, they

32:16

made these costumes. So you

32:18

were expecting like a... No, no,

32:21

no, I'll show, we'll show you. Kind

32:23

of like you go to, you

32:25

go to, you go to Disney

32:27

and you see, the real deal.

32:29

Yeah, dude, that's what they promised.

32:31

I can't wait. We got it.

32:33

32:46

bit different, okay, okay, yeah, but

32:48

they were lovely. They were lovely

32:50

and the kids got used to

32:52

it, but I was like, you know,

32:54

but then they like took off

32:57

the costumes and they did balloon

32:59

hats and they did balloon hats

33:01

and that was sick. yesterday

33:03

he was playing with the like giraffe

33:05

balloon they made him and it started

33:07

popping and he was like oh that's

33:10

not my favorite I don't like that

33:12

part and we were like yeah he's

33:14

like oh it doesn't work like that

33:16

my love I was like they're tired

33:18

balloons they had to go pop yeah

33:20

do you remember that that was the

33:22

most traumatic thing as a kid is

33:24

like when you're playing with your balloon

33:26

animal and then it pops in your

33:28

hands you're like yeah I killed it!

33:30

So loud, dude. Poor kid. Yeah,

33:32

Riley just wanted to chase the

33:35

trolls and Barry was moving and

33:37

groven. Yeah, because they brought in

33:39

the speaker and they're like, can't

33:42

start the feeling. And we were

33:44

all dancing and Barry just does

33:46

this hovel thing. It's so cute.

33:49

And Riley just like ran away

33:51

and was like, nah, nah, but smiling.

33:53

So I was like, sorry, he's a

33:55

Bergen. So he wants to eat you.

33:57

Like, how to explain that to them.

34:00

That's a decent explanation. Like

34:02

he's in full character

34:04

or so. But yeah, I think he loved

34:06

it because later in bed, he was like,

34:08

oh, I asked him. I was like, what

34:10

was your favorite part of your

34:13

birthday? And he goes, Poppy. He carries

34:15

the princess Poppy everywhere he goes. He

34:17

has a bigger one and a widow

34:19

one. He's like, this is mommy,

34:21

princess Poppy. This is baby,

34:23

princess, Poppy. She's sad. take care

34:26

of you. And then he eats

34:28

her. He has a whole movie

34:31

going on in all time. Creative

34:33

little guy. Yeah. He's the best, he's

34:35

everything. And now he doesn't enjoy

34:37

the birthday song to him. He

34:40

doesn't like happy people singing happy

34:42

birthday to him. Yeah, for all of

34:44

his birthdays he was like no candles, he

34:46

was big on like no fire and we

34:48

were like in his past life he must

34:51

have been in a fire, explains it, you

34:53

know? Right, adds up. But this year we

34:55

lit one single candle and he did it.

34:58

But he was also like, no one sing

35:00

happy birthday to me, I sing it to

35:02

myself. I sing by myself. And I was

35:04

like, brave. It's giving the superstar.

35:07

Okay. And so I announced it too.

35:09

I was like, do you want us

35:11

to sing for you? And Arnan, he

35:13

was like, this is ridiculous. We're all

35:16

singing. And then he started. And then

35:18

he was like, stop. No, no, no.

35:20

And then he was fine and let

35:23

it ride. And then he blew out

35:25

the candle for his first year ever.

35:27

A full. And we were all like,

35:30

oh, you know, very sensitive, very sensitive.

35:32

God, he's so interesting. I love it.

35:34

He is me. He also like

35:36

covers his ears most of the day, I

35:39

feel like now. Like if something

35:41

loud's coming, the toilet still. But

35:43

he like knows what's up. It's a scary

35:45

world. It's a scary world. I

35:47

think he makes me like appreciate the

35:50

world and he makes me like realize

35:52

my fears are valid, you know? I'm

35:54

like, it is loud in this restaurant.

35:56

I don't like this. It's not my

35:59

favorite. But yeah, he's not

36:01

my favorite. Yeah, he um, oh, like

36:03

he says stuff that I'm like, yeah,

36:05

he's like, I love that I'm for

36:08

like, yeah, dude, I love that you're

36:10

for too. Who says that? That's

36:12

so cool. Four is a magical

36:14

time. Yeah, he woke up that

36:17

morning, he was like, I look different.

36:19

Yeah, he was examining his

36:21

legs. He's like, I'm bigger. He's taller.

36:24

You're big, you're a tall boy. And

36:26

he was like, I look for. And

36:28

I think you look forward, dude.

36:31

The best. I was like, he's like,

36:33

how old are you? I was like,

36:35

I'm 31. He's like, that's awesome. And

36:37

I was like, it is. I'm 31,

36:39

dude. That's awesome. We talk every night,

36:41

too, about how he's like, I'm going

36:44

to get your own car. And I was

36:46

like, and at 16, you can get

36:48

your license. He's like, license. I was like,

36:50

yeah, it's like a ticket to drive. He's

36:52

like, I'm gonna get a hundred license. I

36:55

was like, yeah, you're gonna have a hundred

36:57

tickets. It's his favorite number, is a hundred.

36:59

I want to get a hundred. A hundred

37:01

licenses. I was like, exactly. And then I

37:04

said, what kind of car do you want?

37:06

He was like, a big truck. And I

37:08

was like, yeah, you probably want a truck.

37:10

And I was just like thinking like I'll

37:13

never let you drive, you know, I

37:15

don't think you'll have to I know

37:17

Hopefully by then it's just a robot

37:19

driving robots, dude. I hope dude. I'm gonna

37:21

be worried every time he gets in that

37:23

car. I mean, it's dangerous. We were leaving

37:26

the house after in LA too We were

37:28

leaving Whole Foods and right outside

37:30

of it accident had just happened.

37:32

I was like we just missed that.

37:34

Yeah Just classic. LA's different. We

37:36

grew up like riding in Nantucket

37:39

where there's only stop signs. You

37:41

go 25 miles an hour. It's

37:43

like a golf course. You know

37:45

what I mean? It's not real

37:47

driving. That's why I don't drive

37:49

out here. I'm like, uh, six lanes

37:52

for what? I understand. That makes

37:54

a lot of sense. There's

37:56

too much going on. The thrill. I

37:58

love it. I love driving. This is

38:00

a terrible thing to say, but I don't

38:02

believe in drinks is. And out

38:04

of the eight years, almost nine years

38:07

we've been together. How many

38:09

accidents have we gotten in? True.

38:11

None, but we get close. No, I

38:13

just don't want to knock. Nah. Don't

38:15

need to knock. That's why you

38:18

started with that. This is, I

38:20

don't believe drinks. Ten years I

38:22

had one. I got involved with it.

38:24

Yeah, but someone hit you. Yeah.

38:26

Yeah, still an accident. Yeah, still

38:28

an accident. But you didn't do

38:30

it. Socks. Some things he does, I'm

38:32

like, I have to acknowledge every speed

38:34

bump because he can't see it. I

38:36

don't know. I'm like, bump, you know?

38:39

And then he goes, sorry. And then

38:41

we fly. They come up to, they're

38:43

quick. They're pretty aggressive

38:45

out here. Humps. Humps. They're

38:47

good. I wish you're on every street.

38:49

I love them. So this is probably

38:52

going to drop on Valentine's.

38:54

Oh, happy Valentine's Day.

38:56

I guess the Wednesday after. Yeah,

38:58

because this, this Friday is

39:00

Valentine's Day. This, correct. Okay,

39:02

we just had Valentine's Day.

39:05

It was amazing. Yeah, we're, uh, I could

39:07

say it on this one. Yeah, because

39:09

it drops after we're going to

39:11

Sedona. Oh, Arizona, Arizona. Every

39:14

time you say stuff. I'm like,

39:16

awesome. Some mountain or desert, you know.

39:18

I wish I knew places. What was

39:21

that, like six hour drive? Seven

39:23

hour drive? Eight. Eight hour. Eight. That's

39:25

a day, my brother. That's a day. But

39:27

here's the deal. I just treated it like

39:29

a video game. I could sit and

39:31

play video games for 12 hours. So

39:34

it's just driving. Do you guys

39:36

go back and forth? I drive

39:38

majority. She's a fine driver. I

39:40

just would rather be the one

39:42

responsible. I really want to see

39:44

McGoo behind that big truck. Offroad

39:46

camping in Death Valley. She drove

39:48

off-road and she was having a

39:50

lot. She was having a lot. Yes.

39:52

I love that because when you guys are

39:55

like old and married you can go back

39:57

and watch. Yeah, it's just a little

39:59

video diary. Yeah, that's all

40:01

it is. It is. Yeah,

40:03

so the podcast is.

40:05

Yeah, this is, yeah, true.

40:08

She's a great driver.

40:10

I'm just like, I'll

40:12

just drive the whole

40:15

time. It's fine. Same

40:17

hours. Exhausting.

40:19

Yeah, but it's gonna

40:21

be worth it. We're gonna

40:24

do hotel this time.

40:26

Nice. Oh my God. The

40:28

amount of shit I bought.

40:30

So comfortable outside camping. And

40:33

it was just because it

40:35

was very windy and death

40:37

value that they were leaving.

40:39

And she chose, she's like, okay,

40:41

you clean up the cooking and

40:44

the cleaning and do all that.

40:46

I'll take down the tent. Well,

40:48

okay. Okay. So I can't like

40:50

hear too. Because it's so windy.

40:52

She's like, Ryan. How? How? And

40:55

the poles, the giant

40:57

long poles, it's just

40:59

whipping in the wind. Oh no.

41:02

Oh no. After that, I was,

41:04

I'm gonna want to take

41:06

a break. That was a

41:08

lot for me. I was

41:10

like, I know. You chose the

41:13

wrong job. You chose the wrong

41:15

job. Hey. Yeah, it's Valentine's Day

41:17

weekend, so we're splurging a little,

41:19

you know? I'm going to this

41:21

hotel. Well, absolutely. You don't have

41:24

to camp every time. Yeah. Yeah,

41:26

we've done a decent amount of

41:28

camping. I was just excited because

41:30

that last one, you know, had

41:32

the fire pit. We had the

41:35

Donkey. I've got the two for one

41:37

chair, the Donkey. The Donkey. But

41:39

there's a lot of accessories, like,

41:41

that TV show or something? Survivor.

41:43

Yeah, survival. Yeah, it's survivor. And

41:46

I'm like, you guys are incredible.

41:48

Things I could never do. You

41:50

can do everything. Cook. You, yes.

41:53

Cook outside. We're not cooking the

41:55

craziest stuff. Yes, you are, dude.

41:57

She was making a stew. Yeah,

41:59

but we. show you how to make it.

42:01

Yeah, yeah, you can do it.

42:03

I've been baking high protein snacks

42:05

covered in chocolate, so. There's just

42:08

a grill. You can make eggs and

42:10

pancakes. It's not like you're cooking like

42:12

crazy stuff out there. You could put

42:14

a steak on the pan. Yeah. One

42:17

of these days we'll all get out

42:19

to somewhere that's close and

42:21

it's like warm and the kids

42:23

get a little older. It's great

42:26

because you just escape. Riley talks

42:28

about all the time. Think

42:30

of the marshmallows we're gonna

42:32

rose. I love marshmallows. The

42:34

night sky. Yeah, you know. Yeah, it's

42:36

gonna be great. Can't wait. We

42:39

used to have marshmallows all

42:41

the time in our backyard.

42:43

Yeah, summers in Antarctica. Oh,

42:45

we were catching firefly, dude.

42:47

That's the best part of having

42:49

an old dad. We did the old

42:52

school games. Oh my god. And we

42:54

cat. We. capture that thing and we

42:56

kept it for weeks like a trophy.

42:58

No we did it. In the breezeway.

43:00

In the breezeway it wasn't weeks, it

43:02

was days, but it felt like weeks.

43:04

I remember looking at that thing like,

43:06

was that bad? Catching a little firefly because

43:09

it's in it glows like it goes dark

43:11

and that glows. And you had to go

43:13

slow. Yeah, you had to go very slow. So

43:16

it was teaching you just patience. Just come

43:18

to me a little fire fly and you

43:20

look at. And then you look at in

43:22

the jar. You know, wow,

43:24

that's nice. And then you let

43:26

it fly away. Yes, you let

43:28

it fly away. Into the night

43:31

sky. That's nice. You got

43:33

it. One day. We'll do it. I

43:35

can't wait. They're so cool.

43:37

Where can we find fireflies?

43:39

Where are they? I don't know.

43:42

Not gonna Google. East

43:44

Coast only. Where are

43:46

fireflies? Meanwhile. I'll look that

43:48

up and I'll play a

43:50

little voicemail here. Here's a call.

beautiful. Maybe you got your mom's eyes

44:05

can also be a nightmare. You know, I

44:07

got buddies, I hear him all the time. Dude,

44:10

I got buddies, I hear him all

44:12

the time. Dude, I got my dad's

44:14

dad bought. What happened to me? You

44:16

know, we're hitting our 30s, right? He's

44:18

just morphing into his father. He's like,

44:20

I didn't think I'd turn out this

44:23

way. I played quarterback in high school.

have played walk of shame by Megan

47:59

the sorts. Every time I've done

48:01

the Walk of Shame. That makes you

sound like there's a lot. There is

an average number. But just want to

48:07

let you guys know that. I think

50:00

jump to a new job. I know, you know, Megan,

50:02

50:05

long time and you love it. But

50:07

I'm gonna follow that with you're

50:47

asking the wrong people. I've never

50:49

had like a regular job, you know,

50:51

I've had like... this crazy weird random

50:54

job where it's like different all

50:56

the time so I'm always like

50:58

surprised and there's always something new

51:00

and I get different opportunities because

51:02

of this job like some days

51:04

I'm an influencer some days I'm an

51:06

actress some days I'm an author so

51:09

my job's always like different and popping

51:11

off and exciting um so I

51:13

don't know what your job is but I

51:15

don't know what a regular job is like

51:17

like I asked my cousin a lot because

51:19

she's in a normal job and then She

51:21

also had this she was like I'm bored.

51:23

I don't know if I love this like

51:25

when do I leave and it kind of

51:27

just fell in her lap like a new

51:29

job opportunity and it was better than that

51:31

one and she was like oh brilliant this

51:33

is like perfect timing so I

51:35

Don't know like manifest like work on

51:37

it think about it and like start

51:39

looking up different jobs maybe I wouldn't

51:41

51:43

a new job. I don't know just yeah

51:46

just secure yourself first make sure

51:48

51:50

your gut's not happy, life is so

51:52

short. What makes you happy? Yeah, if

51:54

you have some sort of calling, just

51:56

52:23

little office chatter, you know, but

52:25

52:27

greener. world everything is

52:30

uncertain when when when is the money

52:32

57:37

bye everybody. Hi

58:07

everyone, Gloria Riviera here and we

58:10

are back for another season of

58:12

No One is Coming to Save

58:14

Us, a podcast about America's child

58:16

care crisis. This season we're delving

58:19

deep into five critical issues facing

58:21

our country through the lens of

58:23

child care, poverty, mental health, housing,

58:25

climate change, and the public school

58:27

system. By exploring these connections we

58:30

aim to highlight that child care

58:32

is not an isolated issue, but

58:34

one that influences all facets of

58:36

American life. Season 4 of No One

58:39

is coming to Save Us is out now

58:41

wherever you get your podcast. People

58:43

love to pretend that there are

58:45

simple formulas for living your best

58:48

life now. Eat this and you

58:50

won't get sick. Manifest it and

58:52

everything will work out. But there are

58:55

some things you can choose and some

58:57

things you can't. And it's okay

58:59

that life isn't always getting better.

59:01

I'm Kate Bowler and on Everything

59:04

Happens, I speak with kind,

59:06

smart, funny people about life

59:08

as it really is. Beautiful,

59:10

59:12

between. Let's be human
