<v Speaker 2>&lt;inaudible&gt;, is that, is that, is that a margarita?</v>

3
00:00:07.225 --> 00:00:10.885

So it's gorgeous. But it does, it tastes like

11
00:00:32.035 --> 00:00:34.165
<v Speaker 1>Well, no, it's margarita mix and tequila.</v>

12
00:00:34.165 --> 00:00:35.405
It's gorgeous. It tastes incredible.

13
00:00:36.425 --> 00:00:40.805
No, it's, it's, it's apples and, and pineapple and ginger

14
00:00:41.065 --> 00:00:43.885

<v Speaker 2>And, got it.</v>

<v Speaker 1>Yes, guys, this is, yeah, we're doing Tuesday.</v>

20
00:00:50.725 --> 00:00:52.965
Welcome to Off Track with Hinch and Rossi.

21
00:00:53.105 --> 00:00:55.805
We are both here on a special Tuesday episode.

22
00:00:56.035 --> 00:00:57.445
Wait, is our guest here?

23

<v Speaker 2>No.</v>
<v Speaker 1>Is our guest able to make an appearance? ?</v>

24
00:01:03.465 --> 00:01:04.925
<v Speaker 3>No.</v>
<v Speaker 1>What?</v>

25
00:01:05.905 --> 00:01:07.445
We can't have, how can we have a Tuesday

26
00:01:07.475 --> 00:01:08.485
show without a guest?

27
00:01:10.045 --> 00:01:11.845
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he's around in spirit.</v>
<v Speaker 3>.</v>

28
00:01:13.915 --> 00:01:17.605
<v Speaker 1>Okay. Well, our, I mean, originally planned. Yes.</v>

29
00:01:17.605 --> 00:01:19.965
<v Speaker 2>Like he's already, he's already at like a job fair. So</v>

30
00:01:20.665 --> 00:01:21.665
<v Speaker 3>That's fair.</v>

31
00:01:21.665 --> 00:01:22.645
You know what? You can't let 'em,

32
00:01:22.785 --> 00:01:26.125
you can't let them just be like, Lees too long.

33
00:01:26.555 --> 00:01:28.045
Yeah, right. . Alright.

34
00:01:28.045 --> 00:01:29.445
<v Speaker 2>Well, on the weekend, I feel it's Monday.</v>

35
00:01:29.475 --> 00:01:31.285
It's like you need to start contributing .

36
00:01:32.005 --> 00:01:35.285
<v Speaker 3>I feel like that probably was the case for you growing up.</v>

37
00:01:35.285 --> 00:01:38.685
Alex . I feel like that is how Peter Rossi ran,

38
00:01:39.025 --> 00:01:40.045
ran that ship at home.

39
00:01:40.345 --> 00:01:43.285
<v Speaker 2>No,</v>
<v Speaker 1>No. It's a tight work ethic at the Rossi household.</v>

40
00:01:43.435 --> 00:01:44.485
Okay. Alright guys.

41
00:01:44.755 --> 00:01:47.405
Look, unless you're living under a

42
00:01:47.405 --> 00:01:48.925
rock, actually that's not true.

43
00:01:48.925 --> 00:01:51.365
Unless you don't follow Kelly on Instagram,

44
00:01:51.545 --> 00:01:54.685
you might not have seen the beautiful Mother's Day post.

45
00:01:55.155 --> 00:01:57.725
That was also a somewhat of an announcement post.

46
00:01:57.825 --> 00:01:59.965
So Alex, why don't you tell everybody what you've been up to

47
00:01:59.965 --> 00:02:01.685
for the last nine ish months?

48
00:02:02.045 --> 00:02:03.845
<v Speaker 2>I haven't been up to anything. Kelly, uh,</v>

49
00:02:03.945 --> 00:02:07.325
has been growing a baby inside of her, um, that's decided

50
00:02:07.325 --> 00:02:12.045
to, to join us, which is, um, it, it was as,

51
00:02:12.605 --> 00:02:14.725
I don't wanna say it was as awesome

52
00:02:14.875 --> 00:02:18.565
because I don't know that anyone, so going into,

53
00:02:18.795 --> 00:02:22.285
into the day of birth, right, there was a lot of friends

54
00:02:22.475 --> 00:02:24.645
that I had had the birthday, as you will.

55
00:02:25.065 --> 00:02:26.485
Um, there's a lot of friends that I had had

56
00:02:26.485 --> 00:02:28.245
that were like, oh, are you ready?

57
00:02:28.745 --> 00:02:30.485
You know, for what this is gonna

58
00:02:30.485 --> 00:02:31.605
be like and all this sort of thing.

59
00:02:31.665 --> 00:02:34.405
I'm like, yeah, I mean, I'm, I'm ready in the sense

60
00:02:34.405 --> 00:02:36.845
that I'm excited, but no, I'm not ready in the sense

61
00:02:36.845 --> 00:02:38.485
that I have no idea what's gonna happen.

62
00:02:38.485 --> 00:02:40.965
They're like, well, I could try and explain,

63
00:02:41.545 --> 00:02:44.325
but words don't do any of it justice.

64
00:02:44.375 --> 00:02:45.805
Right? Yeah. And you, you kind of hear

65
00:02:45.805 --> 00:02:47.485
that about a lot of things.

66
00:02:48.425 --> 00:02:52.645
Um, and it was, it, it was true times a thousand, right?

67
00:02:52.715 --> 00:02:55.765
Like that was, I still have ingrained in my head the moment

68
00:02:55.875 --> 00:02:58.805
that you first like, see your kid.

69
00:02:59.035 --> 00:03:02.165
Like it's, it's, it's like nothing else

70
00:03:02.315 --> 00:03:03.565
that I've experienced.

71
00:03:03.705 --> 00:03:04.965
Um, so that was really, give it a

72
00:03:04.965 --> 00:03:06.205
<v Speaker 3>Week that goes away. You get</v>

73
00:03:06.205 --> 00:03:07.205
tired,
<v Speaker 2>.</v>

74
00:03:07.205 --> 00:03:08.205
That was really special, obviously.

75
00:03:08.585 --> 00:03:11.805
Um, and, uh, it was a,

76
00:03:12.065 --> 00:03:14.085
it was a relatively smooth process.

77
00:03:14.445 --> 00:03:16.645
I mean, it's never, it's never easy for anyone.

78
00:03:17.225 --> 00:03:19.925
Um, include meaning mom and

79
00:03:19.945 --> 00:03:22.645
and child through that whole kind of three, four days.

80
00:03:23.345 --> 00:03:24.965
Um, you know, leading up to it

81
00:03:24.985 --> 00:03:26.325
and then during, and then after.

82
00:03:26.665 --> 00:03:28.765
Um, but it went relatively smoothly

83
00:03:29.065 --> 00:03:33.765
and Kelly was able to come home, uh, on Saturday, uh,

84
00:03:33.915 --> 00:03:35.405
with little baby Ben.

85
00:03:35.705 --> 00:03:37.885
And here we are a family now

86
00:03:37.905 --> 00:03:41.205
of five if you include the dogs. So, which we

87
00:03:41.205 --> 00:03:42.205
<v Speaker 1>Will pretty cool.</v>

88
00:03:42.205 --> 00:03:43.245
'cause we're dog people. Yeah. That's amazing buddy.

89
00:03:43.245 --> 00:03:45.085
Congratulations to you both. Thank you.

90
00:03:45.145 --> 00:03:46.605
Um, but we have to obviously go back.

91
00:03:46.605 --> 00:03:47.885
We've, we've started at the end.

92
00:03:48.025 --> 00:03:50.765
So let's go back to the beginning. Um, how,

93
00:03:50.765 --> 00:03:51.765
<v Speaker 3>What, what do we do? So when</v>

94
00:03:51.765 --> 00:03:53.245
<v Speaker 2>A, when a man loves a woman?</v>

95
00:03:54.345 --> 00:03:55.565
Yes. Um, yeah.

96
00:03:55.715 --> 00:03:57.525
<v Speaker 1>Okay. No. So this, this is the questions</v>

97
00:03:57.525 --> 00:03:59.565
that you're gonna get asked because you

98
00:03:59.565 --> 00:04:02.925
and Kelly made a somewhat conscious decision

99
00:04:03.225 --> 00:04:06.445
to keep this kind of outta the public eye at least.

100
00:04:06.505 --> 00:04:07.685
You weren't like hiding it from,

101
00:04:07.785 --> 00:04:08.725
she wasn't like locked in the

102
00:04:08.725 --> 00:04:09.685
house for the last nine months.

103
00:04:09.745 --> 00:04:11.645
But I mean, outta the public eye,

104
00:04:13.545 --> 00:04:14.725
no more than normal anyway.

105
00:04:14.725 --> 00:04:18.005
Right, right, right. So, so, uh, the questions

106
00:04:18.005 --> 00:04:20.365
that you are gonna get asked from people, let's try

107
00:04:20.365 --> 00:04:22.405
to knock some of them out so that way you can just,

108
00:04:22.645 --> 00:04:24.125
'cause we know you don't like talking to people.

109
00:04:24.745 --> 00:04:27.125
Um, you know, I mean people, people different

110
00:04:27.145 --> 00:04:29.765
but people less so, so is

111
00:04:29.785 --> 00:04:30.725
<v Speaker 3>Ben. People. People</v>

112
00:04:31.335 --> 00:04:32.335
<v Speaker 1>Ben's people.</v>

113
00:04:32.335 --> 00:04:32.805
People. Oh yeah.

114
00:04:33.725 --> 00:04:35.005
<v Speaker 2>Checking. He's OG people. People.</v>

115
00:04:36.065 --> 00:04:38.245
<v Speaker 1>So now when people come up to ask you questions,</v>

116
00:04:38.245 --> 00:04:40.405
you can just point them to the off track link

117
00:04:40.545 --> 00:04:41.725
and say all your questions.

118
00:04:41.725 --> 00:04:42.725
Can we answer here? Alright.

119
00:04:42.725 --> 00:04:44.205
<v Speaker 2>That's gonna increase your audience base,</v>

120
00:04:44.415 --> 00:04:45.925
<v Speaker 1>Which Oh, a hundred percent. Honestly,</v>

121
00:04:45.995 --> 00:04:47.565
<v Speaker 3>It's about time he started</v>
<v Speaker 2>Contributing.</v>

122
00:04:47.565 --> 00:04:48.765
It's good thing he starts contributing. Yeah.

123
00:04:49.645 --> 00:04:51.245
<v Speaker 1>I assume he already has an iPhone</v>

124
00:04:51.345 --> 00:04:54.485
and has a Spotify account or a, or an Apple podcast account

125
00:04:54.505 --> 00:04:56.125
and can, you know, sign up for, uh,

126
00:04:56.385 --> 00:04:57.485
you know, subscribing and

127
00:04:58.405 --> 00:04:59.805
<v Speaker 3>I</v>
<v Speaker 2>Mean, Hazel would be working, working on, right.</v>

128
00:05:00.185 --> 00:05:01.485
<v Speaker 3>The mine already started today.</v>

129
00:05:01.485 --> 00:05:02.725
Right. Good, right. Good. Yeah.

130
00:05:03.025 --> 00:05:04.285
<v Speaker 1>Lot of mines in la All the chimney,</v>

131
00:05:04.285 --> 00:05:06.485
<v Speaker 2>All the chimneys were already swept, so, yeah.</v>

132
00:05:08.035 --> 00:05:11.725
<v Speaker 1>Okay. So, um, was this planned?</v>

133
00:05:14.145 --> 00:05:16.365
<v Speaker 2>Um, were we trying to have a baby? Yes.</v>

134
00:05:16.785 --> 00:05:18.125
Was it planned to be in May?

135
00:05:18.425 --> 00:05:20.445
No.
<v Speaker 1>? Yes.</v>

136
00:05:20.475 --> 00:05:23.245
That, that's, that's actually a very good point to follow up

137
00:05:23.245 --> 00:05:24.805
with because a lot of people would be like, dude,

138
00:05:25.145 --> 00:05:26.325
we know the math on this.

139
00:05:26.475 --> 00:05:29.805
That was probably a poorly executed plan. Mm-hmm . Okay.

140
00:05:29.865 --> 00:05:31.125
So try to have baby the time.

141
00:05:32.045 --> 00:05:33.405
<v Speaker 3>I mean, every, doesn't get carried away</v>

142
00:05:33.425 --> 00:05:34.805
by the romance of August.

143
00:05:35.425 --> 00:05:36.425
You know, ,

144
00:05:37.465 --> 00:05:39.885
<v Speaker 1>One of those steamy August nights and Yeah.</v>

145
00:05:39.945 --> 00:05:44.045
And away we go. Um, uh, okay.

146
00:05:44.305 --> 00:05:47.285
So then how did you, how did you find out

147
00:05:47.745 --> 00:05:50.085
and what was the reaction when you found out she was

148
00:05:50.245 --> 00:05:51.245
<v Speaker 2>Pregnant?</v>

149
00:05:51.245 --> 00:05:53.125
So, so this is something that, um,

150
00:05:53.305 --> 00:05:54.805
I'm not gonna go into a whole lot of detail

151
00:05:55.005 --> 00:05:56.285
'cause it's none of anyone's business,

152
00:05:56.345 --> 00:06:00.205
but, um, there were, there were a lot of pregnancy sticks

153
00:06:00.555 --> 00:06:02.405
that were, that were purchased and,

154
00:06:02.465 --> 00:06:06.565
and used for a period of time, um, leading up to,

155
00:06:06.665 --> 00:06:08.045
to the day where we found out.

156
00:06:08.305 --> 00:06:11.045
And so, you know, there's, there's some things that happen

157
00:06:11.045 --> 00:06:14.765
that make, you know, someone go and buy a pregnancy stick

158
00:06:15.345 --> 00:06:17.885
and, um, they're, Kelly loves to

159
00:06:18.025 --> 00:06:21.805
<v Speaker 3>Pee on stuff she does</v>
<v Speaker 2>Big P honestly, like big peer.</v>

160
00:06:22.075 --> 00:06:24.005
Yeah. , this is a side note

161
00:06:24.145 --> 00:06:26.085
and it's probably TMI and she'll probably yell at me.

162
00:06:26.585 --> 00:06:27.845
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure where we're going with this.</v>

163
00:06:28.425 --> 00:06:30.285
<v Speaker 2>No, but I wanna be</v>
<v Speaker 3>Clear that I was joking.</v>

164
00:06:32.625 --> 00:06:35.685
<v Speaker 2>She, she, she drinks an excessive amount of water</v>

165
00:06:35.685 --> 00:06:37.845
because it makes her feel better.

166
00:06:37.865 --> 00:06:40.605
And, and she was doing it for Ben and during the pregnancy

167
00:06:40.605 --> 00:06:43.445
and everything, and also when you're pregnant, you're,

168
00:06:43.705 --> 00:06:45.085
you have someone standing on

169
00:06:45.085 --> 00:06:46.125
your bladder essentially, right?

170
00:06:46.125 --> 00:06:48.245
Mm-hmm. She was like my favorite part of this whole process,

171
00:06:48.295 --> 00:06:51.685
minus of course, meeting my child was like, right period

172
00:06:51.685 --> 00:06:52.765
of time I had a catheter.

173
00:06:53.045 --> 00:06:54.605
'cause then I could just drink all

174
00:06:54.605 --> 00:06:55.965
that I wanted with no consequence.

175
00:06:56.295 --> 00:06:58.245
Funny. Like, I didn't have to get up every 30 minutes.

176
00:06:58.245 --> 00:07:00.685
That's so funny. Like, I could just, I could drink all day

177
00:07:01.615 --> 00:07:03.165
every day and it was totally fine.

178
00:07:03.165 --> 00:07:04.965
Anyways, so That's so funny.

179
00:07:05.705 --> 00:07:07.525
<v Speaker 3>Has she considered getting one recreationally ?</v>

180
00:07:10.305 --> 00:07:12.605
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god.</v>
<v Speaker 1>Clearly.</v>

181
00:07:12.605 --> 00:07:14.165
Neither of you have ever had a catheter.

182
00:07:14.685 --> 00:07:17.565
<v Speaker 2>I have not. Um, okay. So no, but I</v>

183
00:07:17.945 --> 00:07:18.945
<v Speaker 3>Pee a lot.</v>

184
00:07:19.825 --> 00:07:21.685
<v Speaker 2>No, dude, she was peeing every 30 minutes anyways.</v>

185
00:07:22.785 --> 00:07:27.365
Um, you remember that trip where we were, um, in, uh,

186
00:07:28.305 --> 00:07:31.685
in Tennessee and taking a little kind of vacation mm-hmm .

187
00:07:31.865 --> 00:07:33.125
Before, I think Milwaukee.

188
00:07:33.625 --> 00:07:37.845
Um, and we were, we were at a little kind of b and b.

189
00:07:37.845 --> 00:07:38.845
It's a little bit bigger than that,

190
00:07:38.845 --> 00:07:40.965
but we were, we were at a little place and we usually try

191
00:07:40.965 --> 00:07:42.245
and go somewhere for a birthday trip.

192
00:07:42.425 --> 00:07:44.285
Um, but it just worked out the, the dates.

193
00:07:44.705 --> 00:07:46.445
Um, we were a little bit before a birthday trip,

194
00:07:46.545 --> 00:07:47.725
and so we were kind

195
00:07:47.725 --> 00:07:49.565
of already on like a, a couple's vacation.

196
00:07:49.665 --> 00:07:50.805
We had the two dogs there.

197
00:07:51.145 --> 00:07:56.005
Um, and funnily enough, we had just kind of done like a,

198
00:07:56.035 --> 00:07:58.405
like a wine tasting thing, um, .

199
00:07:59.265 --> 00:08:01.845
And so she was like, I think I, I need to pee on a stick.

200
00:08:02.305 --> 00:08:04.965
And she did. And it was, it was the, the magic

201
00:08:05.225 --> 00:08:07.965
of the two blue lines that, that you're

202
00:08:07.965 --> 00:08:09.885
so desperately hoping for, for

203
00:08:09.995 --> 00:08:11.085
<v Speaker 3>However many times I thought we were</v>

204
00:08:11.085 --> 00:08:12.645
telling a different part of this story.

205
00:08:14.555 --> 00:08:16.485
They were on vacation together.

206
00:08:16.705 --> 00:08:18.125
Oh my God. I thought we were getting a Yeah,

207
00:08:18.265 --> 00:08:19.365
<v Speaker 2>He literally, he literally,</v>

208
00:08:19.385 --> 00:08:21.205
he literally asked how, how we found out.

209
00:08:21.205 --> 00:08:25.205
I know we found out while, while we were, um, on vacation

210
00:08:25.665 --> 00:08:27.205
<v Speaker 1>And amazing</v>
<v Speaker 2>The dogs were there.</v>

211
00:08:27.205 --> 00:08:29.405
And it was, it was really cool. It was very, very special.

212
00:08:29.505 --> 00:08:30.885
Um, and it was at the beginning of it too.

213
00:08:30.905 --> 00:08:33.725
So for the rest of the time we kind of got to have

214
00:08:34.245 --> 00:08:37.805
a very early baby moon, if you will. So, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

215
00:08:37.805 --> 00:08:40.245
<v Speaker 1>That's very cool. Okay, so now you're, uh,</v>

216
00:08:40.405 --> 00:08:42.125
a big happy family to be altogether.

217
00:08:42.185 --> 00:08:47.165
And you found out, um, did you want

218
00:08:47.185 --> 00:08:49.005
to know what it was as soon as you

219
00:08:49.005 --> 00:08:50.005
<v Speaker 2>Could?</v>

220
00:08:50.005 --> 00:08:50.605
Absolutely. Have you met me?

221
00:08:51.565 --> 00:08:53.605
<v Speaker 1>I know, yes. I'm just asking the questions. Oh, I'm sorry.</v>

222
00:08:53.605 --> 00:08:54.525
I'm sorry. I know the answers

223
00:08:54.525 --> 00:08:55.245
to these questions, questions are,

224
00:08:55.565 --> 00:08:57.125
<v Speaker 3>I just remember the whole thing.</v>

225
00:08:57.235 --> 00:08:59.565
This, this, this isn't like his usual announcements

226
00:08:59.565 --> 00:09:00.965
where James and I are in the dark .

227
00:09:01.205 --> 00:09:02.325
Right, right, right, right, right.

228
00:09:02.795 --> 00:09:06.325
Because, and I wanna point out how bad it was that

229
00:09:06.505 --> 00:09:09.685
how I found out was in Toronto when I walked under your bus

230
00:09:09.685 --> 00:09:11.725
and asked Kelly, Hey, you what an apple all spritz?

231
00:09:11.745 --> 00:09:13.845
She was like, no, I think I'm not gonna drink this week.

232
00:09:13.845 --> 00:09:14.845
And I was like, oh, you're pregnant. . .

233
00:09:18.385 --> 00:09:21.645
<v Speaker 2>Was that Toronto or Laguna?</v>
<v Speaker 3>I think that was Toronto.</v>

234
00:09:22.685 --> 00:09:24.765
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't in Toronto for a very long period of time.</v>

235
00:09:26.145 --> 00:09:27.965
<v Speaker 3>Oh no, wait, it was, was it Nashville?</v>

236
00:09:28.385 --> 00:09:30.285
It may have been Nashville real good. It was Laguna.

237
00:09:30.285 --> 00:09:31.565
I dunno. It was, it was, yeah, you're right.

238
00:09:31.745 --> 00:09:36.325
<v Speaker 2>You're right. Anyways, um, so did we want to find out?</v>

239
00:09:36.585 --> 00:09:38.405
Yes, we wanted to find out immediately.

240
00:09:38.415 --> 00:09:39.725
Kelly hates surprises.

241
00:09:39.725 --> 00:09:42.805
Like she demands to open Christmas gifts like on the 20th.

242
00:09:42.835 --> 00:09:44.645
Like, she, she can't tolerate it.

243
00:09:44.805 --> 00:09:45.965
I mean, I don't let her, that's so her move,

244
00:09:46.145 --> 00:09:49.125
but she is just like, she, she does not do surprises.

245
00:09:49.625 --> 00:09:53.365
Um, I am a, a forward thinker.

246
00:09:53.565 --> 00:09:55.205
I would like to know things that are happening.

247
00:09:55.225 --> 00:09:57.125
Not sound, you're planner surprises. I just wanna plan.

248
00:09:57.125 --> 00:09:59.965
Right. So we found out, um, it was funny.

249
00:10:00.085 --> 00:10:03.685
I was actually in Vegas, um, at an event in November

250
00:10:04.515 --> 00:10:08.325
when the, um, the kind of genetic testing results came back.

251
00:10:08.865 --> 00:10:12.685
And I made her swear like, you cannot open this without me.

252
00:10:12.685 --> 00:10:14.525
So what we did was I let her open.

253
00:10:14.555 --> 00:10:16.445
Like, 'cause they also test for, you know,

254
00:10:16.445 --> 00:10:17.685
some various different things.

255
00:10:17.985 --> 00:10:19.565
Um, yeah, yeah. That could be going on.

256
00:10:19.985 --> 00:10:21.005
So I was like, you can open that,

257
00:10:21.005 --> 00:10:24.285
but you have to keep the gender part of it, um, out of it.

258
00:10:24.385 --> 00:10:28.885
So, um, I was on a red eye home actually from, from Vegas.

259
00:10:29.845 --> 00:10:31.245
I got in at like five.

260
00:10:31.725 --> 00:10:34.965
I got into the house at 5 45 and woke her up and,

261
00:10:34.965 --> 00:10:37.445
and we looked together and, and found out it was a boy.

262
00:10:37.505 --> 00:10:40.125
Um, for me. I was, I was pumped Kelly, I think

263
00:10:40.465 --> 00:10:42.725
<v Speaker 1>Was Did did you have like a Oh yeah. Okay. So you</v>

264
00:10:42.725 --> 00:10:43.725
<v Speaker 2>Both thought it was gonna be a girl?</v>

265
00:10:43.725 --> 00:10:44.885
We both thought it was gonna be a Okay.

266
00:10:45.105 --> 00:10:46.765
Um, to the point

267
00:10:46.765 --> 00:10:48.245
where we had had like the girl name

268
00:10:48.305 --> 00:10:49.685
picked out, locked and loaded.

269
00:10:49.935 --> 00:10:53.925
Toman. I'm surprised, I'm surprised the room wasn't painted

270
00:10:53.955 --> 00:10:55.765
pink, if I'm completely honest with you.

271
00:10:56.025 --> 00:10:57.925
And so when we opened it

272
00:10:57.925 --> 00:10:59.285
and it was like, you're having a boy,

273
00:10:59.365 --> 00:11:00.525
I was like, sick. And she was like,

274
00:11:01.345 --> 00:11:02.345
oh,
<v Speaker 3>, .</v>

275
00:11:05.265 --> 00:11:07.365
<v Speaker 2>But,</v>
<v Speaker 1>Um, I love the honesty. I love the honesty.</v>

276
00:11:07.485 --> 00:11:08.965
'cause I hate when like, did you want a boy or a girl?

277
00:11:08.965 --> 00:11:10.725
Like we don't care. As long as it's healthy,

278
00:11:10.725 --> 00:11:12.045
obviously you want a healthy kid.

279
00:11:12.045 --> 00:11:13.445
Like no one doesn't want a healthy

280
00:11:13.465 --> 00:11:14.525
kid. So like Don, no one, no one.

281
00:11:14.675 --> 00:11:16.365
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.</v>
<v Speaker 1>Like, like be honest about it.</v>

282
00:11:16.365 --> 00:11:17.445
Don't for seven Toes,

283
00:11:17.445 --> 00:11:19.005
there's one you wanted more than the other, you know?

284
00:11:19.005 --> 00:11:20.725
Mm-hmm . And, uh, so, but it's,

285
00:11:20.875 --> 00:11:24.365
<v Speaker 2>It's funny, she's, she's loved the, the process</v>

286
00:11:24.865 --> 00:11:27.605
so much now and I'm sure it probably would've been the same.

287
00:11:27.885 --> 00:11:30.765
I mean, I guarantee you it would have been the same if she

288
00:11:30.765 --> 00:11:32.165
had just had a, a girl,

289
00:11:32.705 --> 00:11:34.885
but she was like, the next one I wanted to be a boy too.

290
00:11:35.505 --> 00:11:37.325
So like, oh, wow. It's interesting. Yeah.

291
00:11:37.325 --> 00:11:38.525
She's super attached now to,

292
00:11:38.545 --> 00:11:39.845
to being a boy mom, which is pretty awesome.

293
00:11:43.995 --> 00:11:46.885
<v Speaker 1>Very, very awesome. Okay, so, so we,</v>

294
00:11:47.065 --> 00:11:50.405
we wanna know the kid, we know the kid's gender now.

295
00:11:50.535 --> 00:11:51.645
She's few months in

296
00:11:52.225 --> 00:11:53.325
and, uh,

297
00:11:53.805 --> 00:11:56.645
I always find this part hilarious when friends get pregnant.

298
00:11:56.955 --> 00:11:58.765
What, like, what were her cravings?

299
00:11:58.795 --> 00:11:59.805
What, like what kind of fun?

300
00:11:59.805 --> 00:12:03.005
Gimme some funny pregnancy stories or cravings

301
00:12:03.065 --> 00:12:04.485
or things that just were like,

302
00:12:05.865 --> 00:12:09.845
<v Speaker 2>Man, okay, so, so</v>

303
00:12:10.935 --> 00:12:14.085
there is one that is like, it's hilarious

304
00:12:14.225 --> 00:12:15.285
and I'm gonna end on that.

305
00:12:15.585 --> 00:12:19.365
Um, the cravings she had for food were pretty there.

306
00:12:19.845 --> 00:12:21.085
I wouldn't really say cravings.

307
00:12:21.335 --> 00:12:24.405
There was just the, in the, in the beginning,

308
00:12:24.425 --> 00:12:26.565
the first trimester and stuff is obviously difficult with,

309
00:12:26.745 --> 00:12:28.125
you know, nausea and, and everything.

310
00:12:28.145 --> 00:12:30.365
So she got super attached

311
00:12:30.385 --> 00:12:31.805
to like sourdough bread and peanut butter.

312
00:12:32.005 --> 00:12:33.205
'cause it like helps settle her stomach.

313
00:12:34.025 --> 00:12:36.365
And it was quick to make and easy to make.

314
00:12:36.365 --> 00:12:40.125
And so like, she always jokes that this baby was made out

315
00:12:40.125 --> 00:12:41.325
of sourdough bread and peanut butter.

316
00:12:41.425 --> 00:12:43.765
But like we got, we got three or four months in

317
00:12:43.945 --> 00:12:47.365
and she was like, I love Nugget ice.

318
00:12:47.985 --> 00:12:51.085
And so for a period of time, like, yeah, like, you know,

319
00:12:51.085 --> 00:12:53.005
like the Chick-fil-A little Pebble ice,

320
00:12:53.155 --> 00:12:54.525
like not normal ice cubes.

321
00:12:54.825 --> 00:12:57.045
<v Speaker 1>Oh, okay, okay. The little, the soft in the little tiny,</v>

322
00:12:57.275 --> 00:12:58.605
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

323
00:12:59.265 --> 00:13:03.845
<v Speaker 2>And so in, in typical me fashion, I bought</v>

324
00:13:04.355 --> 00:13:06.845
like a home Nugget ice machine .

325
00:13:08.385 --> 00:13:11.365
And dude, she, she literally would be walking,

326
00:13:11.825 --> 00:13:13.325
she would be walking around the house

327
00:13:13.955 --> 00:13:16.685
with just the little plastic scooper just shoveling

328
00:13:16.685 --> 00:13:17.885
nugget ice into her mouth. ,

329
00:13:18.125 --> 00:13:21.085
like, so it wasn't, the craving wasn't food per se.

330
00:13:21.185 --> 00:13:22.445
It was, yeah. Yeah. Nugget ice.

331
00:13:22.625 --> 00:13:26.765
Um, and so she, she just consumed a crazy amount

332
00:13:26.985 --> 00:13:28.005
of frozen water

333
00:13:28.145 --> 00:13:31.165
for the last five months and she still is. It's

334
00:13:31.165 --> 00:13:32.565
<v Speaker 3>Weird that my takeaway is that I want</v>

335
00:13:32.565 --> 00:13:34.165
to get a Nugget ice machine.

336
00:13:34.275 --> 00:13:36.245
<v Speaker 2>I'll send you the one. It's badass man. Okay.</v>

337
00:13:36.245 --> 00:13:37.245
Yeah, please do. Yeah,

338
00:13:37.485 --> 00:13:39.405
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's, it's obviously the top of whatever</v>

339
00:13:39.785 --> 00:13:40.965
for one boss you've researched

340
00:13:41.105 --> 00:13:42.605
and bought is gonna be the best one on the market.

341
00:13:43.235 --> 00:13:44.765
<v Speaker 2>Yeah,</v>
<v Speaker 1>It's fully aware.</v>

342
00:13:44.805 --> 00:13:47.125
That's why like, whenever I want to get into something

343
00:13:47.125 --> 00:13:49.045
that I know Alex is already into, I just ask him

344
00:13:49.045 --> 00:13:51.245
what he's got because I know that he's done the work

345
00:13:51.465 --> 00:13:54.285
and I can just slide right into the best of whatever it is.

346
00:13:55.025 --> 00:13:59.685
Um, uh, okay, so ice nugget ice

347
00:13:59.865 --> 00:14:00.965
and we have a Nugget ice machine.

348
00:14:01.075 --> 00:14:03.045
It's now a staple in the house, which is great. Mm-hmm .

349
00:14:03.625 --> 00:14:07.325
Uh, did you guys go ham, like nesting in the, in the,

350
00:14:07.325 --> 00:14:09.965
in the nursery and like painting the room blue

351
00:14:10.105 --> 00:14:11.125
and getting all the stuff?

352
00:14:11.125 --> 00:14:13.405
Like did you have fun building all the crib

353
00:14:13.465 --> 00:14:14.485
and all that sort of stuff?

354
00:14:15.025 --> 00:14:16.405
<v Speaker 3>Am I still mom and dad's favorite?</v>

355
00:14:17.825 --> 00:14:21.965
<v Speaker 2>No. Uh, so we didn't paint the room. We didn't walk it.</v>

356
00:14:22.035 --> 00:14:26.005
It's very neutral. Okay. It's, uh, it's all, our house is

357
00:14:26.665 --> 00:14:28.525
pretty neutral in general.

358
00:14:28.905 --> 00:14:30.725
Um, so it remained kind of white walls,

359
00:14:30.755 --> 00:14:33.125
wood floors, wood furniture.

360
00:14:33.825 --> 00:14:38.265
Um, We had to buy some blackout curtains

361
00:14:38.385 --> 00:14:39.705
'cause that room didn't previously have that.

362
00:14:39.845 --> 00:14:42.065
So obviously you need that for, for a baby.

363
00:14:42.805 --> 00:14:47.345
Um, she had a lot more fun, uh, with her very good friend,

364
00:14:47.375 --> 00:14:51.025
Hillary Tobin of Tobin Interior Design here in Indianapolis.

365
00:14:51.305 --> 00:14:54.765
Um, they had a great time with my credit card, so I for them

366
00:14:55.275 --> 00:14:57.565
than it was for me all big Hillary fans, you know?

367
00:14:57.585 --> 00:14:58.605
Oh, yeah. Um,

368
00:14:59.185 --> 00:15:03.285
and then, um, in terms of nesting, yeah,

369
00:15:03.565 --> 00:15:05.525
I think like obviously the, the girl

370
00:15:05.525 --> 00:15:07.965
and the mom gets pretty into it, but also like, so did I,

371
00:15:07.965 --> 00:15:11.245
because you just wanna make sure everything is like sorted

372
00:15:11.245 --> 00:15:14.685
and perfect before this little thing comes in. So Yeah,

373
00:15:14.885 --> 00:15:17.725
<v Speaker 1>I, knowing you, I imagine like there's a, like a closet</v>

374
00:15:17.985 --> 00:15:21.765
or a, or a, uh, drawer set up

375
00:15:21.765 --> 00:15:24.925
that everything's labeled and placed in a certain way

376
00:15:24.945 --> 00:15:26.805
and like everything, like you could walk into

377
00:15:26.805 --> 00:15:28.445
that room blindfolded Yes.

378
00:15:28.585 --> 00:15:31.365
And get all the stuff to change and do I Oh yeah. Okay.

379
00:15:31.515 --> 00:15:35.765
Yeah. Um, are you good at changing diapers?

380
00:15:36.705 --> 00:15:39.325
<v Speaker 2>Yes.</v>
<v Speaker 1>Not, not at all shocks.</v>

381
00:15:39.325 --> 00:15:41.485
Were you, were you good immediately

382
00:15:41.545 --> 00:15:43.525
or did you like take three or four poops

383
00:15:43.525 --> 00:15:45.165
and figure out your method and now you're just

384
00:15:45.165 --> 00:15:46.965
<v Speaker 2>Dialed No, immediately, but I did practice</v>

385
00:15:46.985 --> 00:15:49.285
for weeks leading up to it on teddy bears. What

386
00:15:49.285 --> 00:15:50.965
<v Speaker 1>Did you, did you on teddy bears?</v>

387
00:15:50.965 --> 00:15:53.445
Mm-hmm. Did you actually practice on teddy bears?

388
00:15:53.625 --> 00:15:56.965
<v Speaker 2>Yep. Good on you.</v>
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm, I'm impressed.</v>

389
00:15:56.985 --> 00:16:00.005
<v Speaker 2>Now here's, here's where, here's where it's difficult.</v>

390
00:16:00.385 --> 00:16:01.645
Um, teddy

391
00:16:01.645 --> 00:16:02.925
<v Speaker 1>Bears don't move real</v>
<v Speaker 2>Babies.</v>

392
00:16:02.985 --> 00:16:04.885
No, no score. That's fine. No, I don't mind that.

393
00:16:05.185 --> 00:16:07.885
You haven't had a, you've, you've been through this Tim, um,

394
00:16:08.505 --> 00:16:09.525
but you haven't had a boy.

395
00:16:10.465 --> 00:16:14.605
And so when, when little boys, uh,

396
00:16:14.945 --> 00:16:18.525
get circumcised, they have to, for like two weeks, you have

397
00:16:18.525 --> 00:16:21.725
to put Vaseline on them as a barrier

398
00:16:21.725 --> 00:16:22.765
between them and the diaper.

399
00:16:23.785 --> 00:16:24.845
Uh, which makes sense.

400
00:16:25.545 --> 00:16:29.485
Little boys also are very temperature sensitive down there.

401
00:16:29.945 --> 00:16:32.685
So in the beginning it was all really straightforward.

402
00:16:32.945 --> 00:16:35.525
You know, you would just change the diaper, wipe 'em,

403
00:16:35.545 --> 00:16:36.845
put a new one on, good to go.

404
00:16:38.105 --> 00:16:40.965
But now that he's like eating a lot and consuming a lot

405
00:16:41.025 --> 00:16:44.925
and everything, um, he's peeing as much as he is, uh,

406
00:16:44.955 --> 00:16:47.485
pooping, which is fine, uh, taken after his mom.

407
00:16:48.025 --> 00:16:52.525
But the problem is I was expecting like to the point

408
00:16:52.525 --> 00:16:55.045
where we have little pee pee teepees is

409
00:16:55.045 --> 00:16:57.245
what they're called , uh, where you rest this little thing,

410
00:16:57.245 --> 00:16:59.525
pee pee teepee, where you rest this little thing on

411
00:16:59.525 --> 00:17:00.725
his, on his wiener.

412
00:17:01.105 --> 00:17:03.045
Um, so it, it doesn't let it go everywhere. Yeah.

413
00:17:03.045 --> 00:17:04.565
The problem is when they're circumcised,

414
00:17:04.565 --> 00:17:05.845
nothing can touch that area Right.

415
00:17:05.845 --> 00:17:09.525
Until it's healed. So what I've been doing is like,

416
00:17:10.155 --> 00:17:11.205
I've been prepared for this.

417
00:17:11.365 --> 00:17:14.085
'cause it, I, I got peed on once for the first time.

418
00:17:14.205 --> 00:17:15.845
I was like, ah, that sucks. I didn't like that .

419
00:17:16.705 --> 00:17:20.845
And so, and just to be clear by, right by Ben, right.

420
00:17:21.265 --> 00:17:24.005
And so I got, I've been more prepared,

421
00:17:24.945 --> 00:17:26.925
but this little &lt;inaudible&gt;, like I,

422
00:17:27.065 --> 00:17:28.365
so you take the diaper off

423
00:17:28.365 --> 00:17:30.685
and then you put, you put another one or like a rag

424
00:17:30.685 --> 00:17:32.805
or whatever over it and wait for it.

425
00:17:32.825 --> 00:17:35.205
And then like, I don't know, two

426
00:17:35.205 --> 00:17:36.925
or three minutes goes by and you're like, ah, it's fine.

427
00:17:37.145 --> 00:17:38.605
So then you change 'em and everything

428
00:17:38.625 --> 00:17:40.565
and then as soon as the Vaseline touches them,

429
00:17:40.595 --> 00:17:45.045
it's like a shower and you're like, girl, I, I can't,

430
00:17:45.165 --> 00:17:47.125
I don't, I can't, I only have two hands.

431
00:17:47.405 --> 00:17:49.805
I can't be putting Vaseline on, on and a diaper

432
00:17:50.065 --> 00:17:52.565
and have a little cloth thing over you.

433
00:17:52.665 --> 00:17:55.605
So anyways, um, that's been hard changing the diaper

434
00:17:56.355 --> 00:17:59.445
because Yeah. And he'll

435
00:17:59.445 --> 00:18:01.445
<v Speaker 3>Inevitably hit the point of all parents where</v>

436
00:18:02.085 --> 00:18:03.805
p no longer grosses you out at all. He

437
00:18:03.805 --> 00:18:04.805
<v Speaker 2>Doesn't, he gross me out.</v>

438
00:18:04.805 --> 00:18:05.605
What, what's annoying is

439
00:18:05.825 --> 00:18:10.765
before, um, he came in our bedroom, we had never had a,

440
00:18:10.785 --> 00:18:12.965
had a tv, but I knew Kelly was gonna be spending a lot

441
00:18:12.965 --> 00:18:16.285
of time in the master bedroom and everything.

442
00:18:16.305 --> 00:18:18.645
So I wanted her to have a TV in there so

443
00:18:18.645 --> 00:18:20.325
that she could entertain herself.

444
00:18:20.325 --> 00:18:22.165
Right. Well, the only place

445
00:18:22.165 --> 00:18:23.405
where we can change him was under the tv.

446
00:18:23.465 --> 00:18:24.645
So this brand new TV

447
00:18:24.645 --> 00:18:26.445
that we bought is just gotten pissed on three times,

448
00:18:26.575 --> 00:18:29.085
which like, that is  That is

449
00:18:29.365 --> 00:18:30.685
frustrating. But, um, other than that

450
00:18:30.685 --> 00:18:31.685
<v Speaker 1>Should have on an outdoor tv.</v>

451
00:18:31.775 --> 00:18:33.565
<v Speaker 2>Right.</v>
<v Speaker 1>Weatherproof, outdoor tv,</v>

452
00:18:33.615 --> 00:18:34.615
<v Speaker 2>Waterproof tv, .</v>

453
00:18:35.175 --> 00:18:36.645
Other than that, um, yeah,

454
00:18:36.645 --> 00:18:38.765
I'm pretty good at it if I do say so myself. Thanks.

455
00:18:38.945 --> 00:18:40.645
<v Speaker 1>All right. No surprise there. No surprise there.</v>

456
00:18:41.105 --> 00:18:46.005
Um, Benjamin, Kenneth Rossi, how,

457
00:18:46.065 --> 00:18:47.125
how were the names picked

458
00:18:47.905 --> 00:18:49.845
<v Speaker 3>And why was Timothy overlooked?</v>

459
00:18:50.155 --> 00:18:52.005
<v Speaker 1>Well, we, we all know that Timothy is his second</v>

460
00:18:52.005 --> 00:18:53.165
middle name, but Right,

461
00:18:53.335 --> 00:18:54.335
<v Speaker 2>Right.</v>

462
00:18:54.335 --> 00:18:58.005
Yeah. Ken, Kenneth, uh, was Kelly's late father's, um, name.

463
00:18:58.545 --> 00:18:59.685
<v Speaker 3>Um, yeah. And that's better than</v>

464
00:18:59.685 --> 00:19:00.805
Timothy. That's a better reason.

465
00:19:00.865 --> 00:19:02.845
<v Speaker 2>So that, that, that's the reason.</v>

466
00:19:03.105 --> 00:19:06.765
Um, Ben, so it's Benjamin on the birth certificate,

467
00:19:06.765 --> 00:19:07.885
but he's Ben, he's baby Ben.

468
00:19:07.885 --> 00:19:10.365
Yeah. Uh, honestly, the first name we came up with

469
00:19:10.365 --> 00:19:12.245
and didn't ever find an alternative.

470
00:19:13.195 --> 00:19:14.685
Like it was, you

471
00:19:14.685 --> 00:19:16.285
<v Speaker 1>Mean like it was the first one that you were both like,</v>

472
00:19:16.285 --> 00:19:17.405
okay, yeah, let's add that to the list.

473
00:19:17.505 --> 00:19:18.505
And then there was like,

474
00:19:19.425 --> 00:19:21.165
<v Speaker 2>No, no,</v>
<v Speaker 1>It was literally the first one.</v>

475
00:19:21.425 --> 00:19:23.485
<v Speaker 2>We were like, what, what about Ben?</v>

476
00:19:23.545 --> 00:19:25.285
And we were like, huh, I kinda like that.

477
00:19:25.625 --> 00:19:29.005
And then there was some like, oh, what about Jack?

478
00:19:29.105 --> 00:19:30.685
Or blah blah, no, no, no, no.

479
00:19:30.685 --> 00:19:31.685
And then we just gave up

480
00:19:31.845 --> 00:19:33.005
'cause we were like, it is baby Ben.

481
00:19:33.275 --> 00:19:34.725
Like, it was, it was a week.

482
00:19:34.755 --> 00:19:36.165
<v Speaker 3>Just Quas over Santino.</v>

483
00:19:37.005 --> 00:19:38.005
<v Speaker 2>Hmm.</v>
<v Speaker 3>.</v>

484
00:19:39.665 --> 00:19:41.485
<v Speaker 2>Um, and it's funny, it's funny</v>

485
00:19:41.685 --> 00:19:44.885
'cause like the list of girl names was like 60 deep, right?

486
00:19:44.905 --> 00:19:47.005
So on her notes app, it was like girl 60

487
00:19:47.475 --> 00:19:50.085
with like two in bold and then boys' names.

488
00:19:50.145 --> 00:19:51.445
It was one bed

489
00:19:51.505 --> 00:19:52.505
<v Speaker 1>Was like bad .</v>

490
00:19:53.385 --> 00:19:56.445
<v Speaker 3>Um, one thing I, I always kind of found,</v>

491
00:19:57.455 --> 00:19:58.645
maybe not frustrating,

492
00:19:58.825 --> 00:20:01.045
but interesting about, uh, like the early days

493
00:20:01.045 --> 00:20:03.885
of parenting is I felt like whenever I mastered something,

494
00:20:04.365 --> 00:20:05.725
whenever I got really good at something,

495
00:20:05.725 --> 00:20:07.165
we no longer needed that skill.

496
00:20:07.755 --> 00:20:10.045
Like, I would be able to have Hazel in one hand

497
00:20:10.105 --> 00:20:12.685
and then like prep the formula the other hand

498
00:20:12.785 --> 00:20:14.125
and like 10 seconds flat.

499
00:20:14.145 --> 00:20:15.285
And then as soon as I got that down,

500
00:20:15.305 --> 00:20:16.685
it was like, Hey, we're done with formula.

501
00:20:17.395 --> 00:20:20.845
Yeah. Um, was there anything in, during the pregnancy

502
00:20:20.845 --> 00:20:24.085
where you feel like you got it down maybe a little late

503
00:20:24.085 --> 00:20:26.045
and you're like, all right, but next one, like,

504
00:20:26.105 --> 00:20:27.485
here's what I'm gonna do different.

505
00:20:27.785 --> 00:20:30.085
Did you have it? Do you have anything where you, you go in

506
00:20:30.225 --> 00:20:31.525
and do things differently the next time?

507
00:20:31.785 --> 00:20:33.765
No, no. It's just nailed it.

508
00:20:33.765 --> 00:20:34.965
Knocked it outta the park. Like,

509
00:20:35.155 --> 00:20:36.155
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.</v>

510
00:20:36.155 --> 00:20:36.685
Again, it's Rossi.

511
00:20:36.795 --> 00:20:37.725
What do you, what do you think,

512
00:20:37.985 --> 00:20:38.885
who do you think we're dealing with?

513
00:20:39.025 --> 00:20:41.125
<v Speaker 2>Here's, here's the other thing that was just a, and,</v>

514
00:20:41.125 --> 00:20:43.165
and we should probably end the Tuesday

515
00:20:43.165 --> 00:20:44.325
episode on this little story.

516
00:20:44.465 --> 00:20:48.125
So, uh, Diane, the golden retriever, uh,

517
00:20:48.285 --> 00:20:50.845
I thought it was a weekend for, for your boy.

518
00:20:51.025 --> 00:20:55.125
So about two, no, probably three weeks ago.

519
00:20:55.425 --> 00:20:58.765
She, um, had to have a little lump on her leg removed

520
00:20:59.065 --> 00:21:00.805
and get it sent off to get tested.

521
00:21:00.905 --> 00:21:02.725
It was, it was benign.

522
00:21:02.905 --> 00:21:05.405
Um, so that is not something we're concerned about

523
00:21:05.405 --> 00:21:08.085
currently, but it was a pretty big, you know,

524
00:21:10.355 --> 00:21:12.845
they had to remove a lot of surrounding tissue on her leg.

525
00:21:12.865 --> 00:21:14.805
And so it ended up being a pretty big incision.

526
00:21:15.705 --> 00:21:19.885
Um, and so on Wednesday,

527
00:21:20.725 --> 00:21:24.685
Thursday, sorry, so Ben Ben was born on Wednesday, um,

528
00:21:25.025 --> 00:21:27.365
on Thursday was in my calendar.

529
00:21:27.585 --> 00:21:29.765
You can remove Diane's bandage

530
00:21:29.865 --> 00:21:31.325
and like the instructions that we got,

531
00:21:31.365 --> 00:21:34.205
I think on the Monday was she's free, no restrictions.

532
00:21:34.905 --> 00:21:36.645
Um, basically she's good to go.

533
00:21:37.465 --> 00:21:39.125
And so I, I got back to the bus

534
00:21:39.405 --> 00:21:40.805
'cause I stayed in the bus Thursday night

535
00:21:40.805 --> 00:21:45.085
after staying at the hospital Wednesday night and cut it off

536
00:21:45.425 --> 00:21:47.405
and it was horrifying .

537
00:21:48.825 --> 00:21:53.365
It was so bad. And so we have a, a, a, a very good friend

538
00:21:53.365 --> 00:21:54.685
of ours who's also a vet,

539
00:21:54.705 --> 00:21:56.165
and it was late at night, so I texted her

540
00:21:56.165 --> 00:21:58.565
and I was like, Hey, what do I do like this?

541
00:21:58.705 --> 00:22:00.605
I'm the, I can't be dealing with this right now.

542
00:22:00.845 --> 00:22:02.245
Like, this is very bad timing.

543
00:22:03.145 --> 00:22:08.125
Um, and so she was a star and called in a prescription

544
00:22:08.185 --> 00:22:09.405
and everything that a buddy

545
00:22:09.405 --> 00:22:11.565
of mine picked up Friday morning brought it to the track.

546
00:22:12.465 --> 00:22:16.325
And throughout the past four days, like Diane's,

547
00:22:16.435 --> 00:22:17.885
it's improved massively.

548
00:22:17.885 --> 00:22:18.885
And it's starting to actually heal

549
00:22:18.905 --> 00:22:19.925
and it doesn't seem to

550
00:22:19.925 --> 00:22:21.085
be infected and all this sort of thing.

551
00:22:21.705 --> 00:22:24.365
Um, it's, it is crazy though

552
00:22:24.365 --> 00:22:29.285
because I was always the, the person

553
00:22:29.835 --> 00:22:33.125
that thought, oh, you know, it's gonna be super,

554
00:22:33.275 --> 00:22:35.365
like the dogs, the dogs are gonna be fine.

555
00:22:35.675 --> 00:22:37.325
Like, it's, it's not gonna be an issue.

556
00:22:37.325 --> 00:22:39.045
And that kid comes and all this sort of thing.

557
00:22:39.225 --> 00:22:42.405
And it, it takes a conscious effort

558
00:22:42.405 --> 00:22:44.005
because when you, when you have the dogs,

559
00:22:44.065 --> 00:22:45.645
and people told me this and it makes sense,

560
00:22:45.785 --> 00:22:46.925
but like, when you have the dogs,

561
00:22:46.925 --> 00:22:48.245
they're your whole world, right?

562
00:22:49.225 --> 00:22:52.085
And it was funny how one day into it,

563
00:22:52.205 --> 00:22:54.765
I felt like I was already neglecting the animal

564
00:22:54.765 --> 00:22:57.005
that had been one of my whole world

565
00:22:57.425 --> 00:22:59.285
for the past six years, right?

566
00:22:59.625 --> 00:23:01.445
And I'm like, &lt;inaudible&gt;, like this sucks.

567
00:23:01.515 --> 00:23:05.485
Like, and, and I had to make a big effort to like rebound

568
00:23:05.875 --> 00:23:07.925
with her and like, get her back to a place

569
00:23:07.925 --> 00:23:11.965
because all of your focus goes towards, um, Kelly

570
00:23:12.065 --> 00:23:13.125
and, and, and the kids.

571
00:23:13.185 --> 00:23:15.365
So anyways, it was just an interesting realization

572
00:23:15.365 --> 00:23:18.765
that I had that like, wow, I, uh, have a huge amount

573
00:23:18.765 --> 00:23:21.245
of appreciation, um, for two things.

574
00:23:21.745 --> 00:23:23.125
One kids with

575
00:23:23.785 --> 00:23:27.485
or, uh, parents with multiple kids, number one, um,

576
00:23:27.615 --> 00:23:29.245
don't know how they do it, who have like a three

577
00:23:29.245 --> 00:23:30.445
or 4-year-old and then have a newborn

578
00:23:30.745 --> 00:23:32.685
and two single parents.

579
00:23:33.035 --> 00:23:36.965
Like, I, I can't even imagine what it would be like to have

580
00:23:36.965 --> 00:23:38.365
to try and do this by yourself.

581
00:23:38.505 --> 00:23:40.925
So shout out to all of those people.

582
00:23:41.265 --> 00:23:44.925
Um, I'm happy to be a part of the Parenting Club

583
00:23:45.785 --> 00:23:47.765
