0:59
Speaker 3: But just seeing is just too much. It's so stunning.
1:02
Speaker 3: So she and Brighton, he's a musician, they were friends.

1:55
Speaker 3: said that there was like people were watching out basically
1:58
Speaker 3: to see if he would come to this wedding. Did not,
2:01
Speaker 3: which I think is expected. They've only been spotted like
2:04
Speaker 3: a time or two together. But anyway, the Randoff girls
2:07
Speaker 3: are just so stunning and I love looking at them
2:10

2:21
Speaker 2: I don't know, but it's like pretty stupid, Like it's
2:24
Speaker 2: one of those families that you're like, this isn't real. No, absolutely,
2:28
Speaker 2: this can't happen. No, the next headline is Bachelor alum
2:33
Speaker 2: Maddie Pruett is back in the headlines. She is quoted
2:37
Speaker 2: in a podcast of her saying she struggled to learn
2:41
Speaker 2: about being a submissive wife. Now it's her favorite thing.
2:46
Speaker 3: Okay, So Ben, I'm gonna let you handle this headline.
2:49
Speaker 2: Oh it was.
2:51
Speaker 3: It was quite something to see on the timeline last week.
2:55
Speaker 3: The quote is during a podcast that she and her
2:58
Speaker 3: husband Grant, were doing with Bryce Crawford. I'm sure, do
3:02
Speaker 3: you know who Bryce Crawford is.
3:03
Speaker 2: I do. Yeah. He's like a young kind of like
3:06
Speaker 2: Christian speaker.
3:07
Speaker 3: Okay that's what I figured. Okay, cool. So they were
3:11
Speaker 3: doing a podcast with him and she said that she's
3:14
Speaker 3: learned a lot about being a submissive wife. It was
3:17
Speaker 3: a challenge for me at first, and now it's like
3:20
Speaker 3: my favorite thing. I love talking about submission. And this
3:25
Speaker 3: is going on top of an interview that she or
3:28
Speaker 3: a podcast that she did back in twenty twenty four
3:31
Speaker 3: where she said, as a wife, I'm called to submit,
3:33
Speaker 3: I'm called to respect. I'm called to honor, I'm called
3:35
Speaker 3: to love. I'm called to be committed and to keep
3:38
Speaker 3: our marriage bed pure and to make him other than
3:41
Speaker 3: God my greatest priority. So Ben, I mean, I didn't
3:46
Speaker 3: I read the comments. I know a lot of these posts,
3:49
Speaker 3: and I feel like I'm in the majority. Actually, the
3:55
Speaker 3: only comments that I ever that I saw were ugh
4:00
Speaker 3: and I have to just agree. Please tell me where
4:05
Speaker 3: we are all not seeing something.
4:09
Speaker 2: M Oh goodness is such a good conversation.
4:13
Speaker 3: I know, I know this could be a whole podcast.
4:15
Speaker 3: I'm I'm so sorry to put this on you, but
4:19
Speaker 3: I can try my best, our Christian speaker here on
4:21
Speaker 3: the podcast. Please do your best.
4:23
Speaker 2: I'll do my best. Well, okay, let's start with giving
4:26
Speaker 2: a picture of when and where this was said. It
4:29
Speaker 2: was set in a podcast. It was kind of a
4:35
Speaker 2: quick comment. Jessica and I went back and listened to
4:39
Speaker 2: it because we're like, huh.
4:41
Speaker 3: Okay, thank you, thanks for doing that, bad podcast host
4:45
Speaker 3: and not giving myself.
4:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so I will give Maddie the benefit of
4:50
Speaker 2: the doubt by saying like context and headlines is never
4:53
Speaker 2: a thing, and so just like any clickbait, rage bait,
5:00
Speaker 2: you never get context. This was a little rage and
5:04
Speaker 2: to be honest. So I'm actually gonna go see Maddie
5:07
Speaker 2: this week and talk with her, and I have a
5:12
Speaker 2: lot of questions.
5:13
Speaker 3: I do Wait, how are you going to talk to her? Like?
5:15
Speaker 2: Are you to be honest show?
5:17
Speaker 3: Oh? You you're going to fly down?
5:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have to do a lot. So I'm you know,
5:21
Speaker 2: kind of in the secrets. I don't know actually how
5:24
Speaker 2: much I can say and not say, but I'll say
5:25
Speaker 2: iHeart and I have been working on a project for
5:28
Speaker 2: the last six months that is going to be faith focused.
5:31
Speaker 2: Yeah uh. And it's not just in the podcast form,
5:35
Speaker 2: and so it's going to be highlighting stories of faith
5:39
Speaker 2: and trying to do it in a way that allows
5:43
Speaker 2: the listener to not feel alone, but to you know,
5:47
Speaker 2: experience everybody's stories of the love of Jesus. And so
5:52
Speaker 2: I am flying to Nashville to do a lot of
5:54
Speaker 2: that work, and then at the same time, because of
5:56
Speaker 2: the release of Alone and Plain Sight, I'm going to
5:59
Speaker 2: go on Maddie's show and talk about that a lot. Okay,
6:02
Speaker 2: So I have a lot of questions for Maddie and
6:05
Speaker 2: Jessica and Madison are our friends. Yeah, I've been around Madison.
6:11
Speaker 2: I enjoy my time with her. I don't really know Grant,
6:14
Speaker 2: so I can't speak to that, I think, and I'll
6:18
Speaker 2: tell Maddie this I'm hesitant to. I don't love the
6:24
Speaker 2: kind of quotes out of context when it comes to
6:28
Speaker 2: the life of the sacred and talking about God because
6:33
Speaker 2: it never can be really summed up in one sentence.
6:36
Speaker 2: And so not only my belief, but I think what's
6:40
Speaker 2: biblically true and what Maddie would agree with and Grant
6:43
Speaker 2: agree with, is God is so much bigger than what
6:46
Speaker 2: we can communicate in one sentence, or that we can
6:49
Speaker 2: kind of put our stake in the ground and be like,
6:52
Speaker 2: this is the way it should be, and this is
6:53
Speaker 2: the way it is. God is so much bigger, and
6:56
Speaker 2: oftentimes we fall short talking about God and talking about
7:02
Speaker 2: ethics and morality and biblical interpretation because the God that
7:08
Speaker 2: we love and believe in to be real and active
7:12
Speaker 2: in this world is indescribable. You can't put words to it.
7:17
Speaker 2: And I think that's where people get in trouble is
7:20
Speaker 2: they try to put words to it. And then when
7:22
Speaker 2: they try to put words to it in a way
7:24
Speaker 2: that is so countercultural, and that can come off so
7:28
Speaker 2: offensive to a majority of people. I think it gets
7:33
Speaker 2: the believer into trouble and it gives a picture of
7:37
Speaker 2: God that is not true because there's no context for
7:43
Speaker 2: the conversation. So I think that's and that's just in general,
7:47
Speaker 2: and I think that's the like the Really it's really hard,
7:50
Speaker 2: I think, I'm sure it is. I don't know this yet,
7:52
Speaker 2: but as a host of a podcast talking about faith,
7:55
Speaker 2: it's going to be really hard to keep your words
7:59
Speaker 2: above reproach and to keep your words in a responsible
8:03
Speaker 2: manner so that the public does not look at it
8:06
Speaker 2: and go I want nothing to do with that God
8:08
Speaker 2: that you're talking about. It's really hard, and I'm sure
8:11
Speaker 2: it is, and I'll say that from Madison. I will also, though,
8:15
Speaker 2: say Jessica and I do not practice a household of submission,
8:22
Speaker 2: and in fact I would actually I would be And
8:26
Speaker 2: again I could talk to Madison about that. I don't
8:28
Speaker 2: know if this is where our conversation will go, and
8:29
Speaker 2: I really don't have any desire to argue with her.
8:33
Speaker 2: It's her dance and her life and her marriage and
8:35
Speaker 2: if it works for her and her family. Honestly, my
8:38
Speaker 2: response is great, every couple has their own dance. Now
8:42
Speaker 2: do I believe that every couple needs to have the
8:45
Speaker 2: same dance as the couple next to, you know, And
8:49
Speaker 2: that's why I think maybe this is kind of coming
8:51
Speaker 2: off offensively. Also, it's saying, hey, we need to all
8:54
Speaker 2: be submissive wives. And it's like, well, in this Christian household,
8:58
Speaker 2: my wife does not submit to me and my authority
9:01
Speaker 2: and we work great, and that's okay. Our household, I
9:05
Speaker 2: would like to believe, represents the heart of Jesus, which
9:08
Speaker 2: is an egalitarian household of equalness and compromise and self sacrifice,
9:16
Speaker 2: just like Jesus did for all of us. We represent
9:19
Speaker 2: the heart of God in this household by communication, collaboration,
9:23
Speaker 2: by serving one another, compromising on things, discussing the big
9:28
Speaker 2: topics with each other. And there are quotes or there
9:32
Speaker 2: are verses in the Bible that you can kind of
9:34
Speaker 2: pull out about submission. And before I get onto some
9:39
Speaker 2: long historical rabbit trail, those are mostly speaking to like
9:44
Speaker 2: a Greco Roman structure, because that's the times they're living in,
9:47
Speaker 2: like husband, wife, slave, child, like it went down this
9:53
Speaker 2: order of how a household operates in a Greco Roman culture.
9:58
Speaker 2: We don't live in that culture anymore. So we don't
10:00
Speaker 2: live in that society anymore. And and I think it's
10:04
Speaker 2: it's a conversation worth having of can we what does
10:07
Speaker 2: it look like to adjust? And I actually could argue
10:11
Speaker 2: that a lot of these verses are not talking about
10:13
Speaker 2: submission in the way that we understand it. I would
10:16
Speaker 2: actually say that a lot of these verses are talking
10:19
Speaker 2: about serving one another equally. But I don't really want
10:23
Speaker 2: to get into a whole conversation about you know, biblical translation, get.
10:27
Speaker 3: Into the whole conversation with Mattie. I can't wait for
10:29
Speaker 3: this podcast.
10:30
Speaker 2: Well, I mean I really, like I said, I don't
10:32
Speaker 2: really have an interest because in arguing with her, because
10:35
Speaker 2: I don't disagree with Madison if she believes that's how
10:39
Speaker 2: their household best operates and that's how they both feel
10:43
Speaker 2: most loved and seen. What I don't want, what I
10:46
Speaker 2: wouldn't want, and not that I can even speak into
10:49
Speaker 2: this in them because that's their household, their marriage. They
10:52
Speaker 2: get to figure out how that dance looks and works
10:54
Speaker 2: for them. But what I don't want is anybody reading
10:57
Speaker 2: this and believing that when you get married, you become
11:00
Speaker 2: less than want any I would want any person seeing this,
11:05
Speaker 2: especially non believers, and going I want a Christian marriage,
11:10
Speaker 2: or I want a marriage with somebody that follows Christ,
11:13
Speaker 2: because it uplifts me to be a part of the
11:17
Speaker 2: image bearer of Christ, which is one of love, undeniable love.
11:24
Speaker 2: But again, I don't know if I could even disagree
11:26
Speaker 2: with Maddie because I don't mind that they run their
11:28
Speaker 2: household this way like it is what it is. It
11:31
Speaker 2: works for them, and that's great. I just I think
11:34
Speaker 2: that's where I said at the beginning. It gets dangerous
11:36
Speaker 2: when you try to throw this biblical translation, and goodness,
11:42
Speaker 2: conservative Christians are going to jump all over me for
11:44
Speaker 2: this biblical translation onto a universal type of marriage. And
11:51
Speaker 2: I think all of us should appreciate and respect each
11:55
Speaker 2: other's own marriage dance, especially when it's healthy, working and loving.
12:11
Speaker 3: Okay, did she give any examples on the podcast as
12:14
Speaker 3: to what she means by summoning.
12:18
Speaker 2: They didn't like dive into it. No, I mean I
12:20
Speaker 2: think she has in passed. I haven't listened to like
12:22
Speaker 2: past episodes. I think they have in passed. It's usually
12:26
Speaker 2: I mean, I again, I'm not gonna attribute this to
12:29
Speaker 2: what Maddie said, but it's usually meaning like the husband
12:33
Speaker 2: has ultimate authority and final say and so if he
12:36
Speaker 2: comes into the house and there's a decision to be made,
12:40
Speaker 2: everything kind of bounce off of him to them. He
12:43
Speaker 2: kind of runs the house. The wife. You know, this
12:46
Speaker 2: also can oftentimes flow into the wife is like a homemaker,
12:51
Speaker 2: which you know, goodness in my house. I'm glad that's
12:54
Speaker 2: not the case. Just does great as an esthetician and
12:57
Speaker 2: it has a thousand different kind of funnels and lanes
13:01
Speaker 2: that it runs into. Once you start talking about like
13:06
Speaker 2: a wife's submission. But I mean, I guess this most
13:09
Speaker 2: simple term for those who have no clue what they're
13:11
Speaker 2: talking about. It's not like she submits in the way
13:13
Speaker 2: that like I think secular culture imagines it to be.
13:17
Speaker 2: It just means that the husband is the head of
13:20
Speaker 2: the household. He is the one that makes final decisions, say,
13:24
Speaker 2: and when he speaks, everybody listens. Yeah, I mean, like
13:33
Speaker 2: I said, everybody has their own dance, right, And if
13:36
Speaker 2: this works for him them, if Mattie's like, hey, this
13:39
Speaker 2: is actually like really good for us as a couple,
13:42
Speaker 2: this makes me a better human. This makes me more
13:44
Speaker 2: of a better version of myself, a more joy filled
13:48
Speaker 2: version of myself. It gives me the freedom and all
13:51
Speaker 2: these things have all these benefits. And that's why I said,
13:53
Speaker 2: I wish there was like this longer explanation of what
13:56
Speaker 2: exactly this means and why. I think the big question
13:59
Speaker 2: there would be why do you actually see that submission
14:02
Speaker 2: being helpful for you? Helpful for you? But if it is,
14:07
Speaker 2: that's great.
14:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm like, yeah, if you are happier and you
14:11
Speaker 3: think that your household works with you, like, that's totally
14:15
Speaker 3: She said it was a struggle at first, which makes
14:17
Speaker 3: me a little.
14:18
Speaker 2: I think that's where it gets a little weird for people, is.
14:20
Speaker 3: Exactly right, because like, oh, so it's not natural to you,
14:22
Speaker 3: So it's not what you wanted to do, so you
14:25
Speaker 3: had to kind of submit to the fact that you
14:28
Speaker 3: were going to do it. Yeah, and it felt unnatural
14:32
Speaker 3: for a while, because maybe it is unnatural.
14:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think again, there's some really great ways
14:38
Speaker 2: to argue biblically about how the Bible isn't talking about
14:43
Speaker 2: a wive submission to their husband. Now, there's some very
14:45
Speaker 2: clear verses, but those same verses are kind of sandwiched
14:48
Speaker 2: at times with conversations about slavery, and obviously the Christian
14:51
Speaker 2: Church over time has gotten very much, has gone very
14:55
Speaker 2: much against slavery, and so how could we not then
14:57
Speaker 2: readjust to say maybe Christian submission as a wife isn't
15:01
Speaker 2: you know, helpful? And then also there's verses like in Galatians,
15:04
Speaker 2: there's a beautiful verse about talking about how we are
15:07
Speaker 2: all one in Christ and versus about how we were
15:10
Speaker 2: all equal in Christ and we're all image bearers of Christ.
15:13
Speaker 2: And so I just think it gets messy. And that's
15:16
Speaker 2: why I started this with saying I don't necessarily see
15:19
Speaker 2: a problem with them running their household how they want
15:22
Speaker 2: to run it. I have no ability to speak into that,
15:25
Speaker 2: nor would I want to. It doesn't make sense to
15:27
Speaker 2: I just think it gets a little bit murky if
15:32
Speaker 2: we're trying to speak into people who are not believers
15:37
Speaker 2: when we say things without context, and unfortunately, headlines don't
15:42
Speaker 2: give context or explanation, especially on these really like difficult
15:49
Speaker 2: topics that the Church in general has argued about internally
15:55
Speaker 2: for thousands of years. And so that's just my point.
16:00
Speaker 2: I think it definitely blew up in the headlines. It
16:04
Speaker 2: definitely caused a stir and unfortunately for Maddie or fortunately
16:08
Speaker 2: because people are listening and paying attention. This is just
16:11
Speaker 2: like it seems like we're getting one of these like
16:13
Speaker 2: once a month, right now.
16:14
Speaker 3: I know, you know, I have to say, it's pretty
16:16
Speaker 3: entertaining to me. Some people in the comments are like
16:21
Speaker 3: people in the comments are like, oh my God, like
16:23
Speaker 3: everything I know about them is against my will. And
16:24
Speaker 3: I'm like, I find this all very interesting. It always
16:27
Speaker 3: leads a good conversation with.
16:28
Speaker 2: You, Ben, Yeah, I mean, I don't know. At some
16:32
Speaker 2: point I think it does more harm than good.
16:35
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, there's that you are correct. From your perspective. Yeah,
16:39
Speaker 3: from a gospel perspective, yeah, yeah.
16:42
Speaker 2: From a gospel perspective.
16:44
Speaker 3: Gospel perspective versus gossip perspective. Yeah.
16:48
Speaker 2: I just want people to experience the freedom and the
16:52
Speaker 2: joy and the love of Jesus and to see that
16:58
Speaker 2: in who Jesus was on this earth, to see this
17:01
Speaker 2: that and who he was in the Christian story of
17:04
Speaker 2: where he died for us. And I think in between
17:10
Speaker 2: there we can really start to jack things up when
17:13
Speaker 2: we add confusion to the story.
17:18
Speaker 3: Ben, I am just so excited for your podcast. I
17:22
Speaker 3: every time I hear you talk about this stuff and
17:24
Speaker 3: like makes sense, makes sense, yeah.
17:37
Speaker 2: Anyways, Uh, Bachelor's Crystal Nielsen says she's been advised not
17:42
Speaker 2: to have more kids after harrowing C section.
17:46
Speaker 3: Ben, did you read this?
17:48
Speaker 2: I have not, no, but I really am interested in
17:50
Speaker 2: the updates.
17:50
Speaker 3: Oh my god, Ben, like I had like I felt weak,
17:54
Speaker 3: like I felt lightheaded almost reading this. She is truly
17:59
Speaker 3: a warrior. And like they said, if she wasn't at
18:02
Speaker 3: the hospital like she or the baby would have died.
18:04
Speaker 3: So what happened was she was induced. Everything was going
18:09
Speaker 3: pretty slowly and then finally I don't know what it was,
18:14
Speaker 3: whether they put up more pitocin or whatnot, but oh,
18:16
Speaker 3: they they gave her the epidural so that they could
18:19
Speaker 3: break her water, because you don't want to break your
18:21
Speaker 3: water without having apol. So they go and break the
18:23
Speaker 3: up durals. They start moving and then she's pushing and
18:28
Speaker 3: it's been three and a half hours, and uh, then
18:32
Speaker 3: the doctor comes in to check her, which I'm very
18:37
Speaker 3: I don't remember for my own berths whether or not
18:39
Speaker 3: you ever would get checked within like during the pushing phase. Yes,
18:45
Speaker 3: I mean that seems normal, but I I am now
18:48
Speaker 3: speaking out of term. I really don't know because normally
18:51
Speaker 3: they check your cervix before you start pushing, and then
18:54
Speaker 3: like once they see your ten centimeters, then you start pushing.
18:56
Speaker 3: So anyway, she was with her midwife for the majority
18:59
Speaker 3: of this pushing experience. After three and a half hours,
19:02
Speaker 3: the doctor comes in and goes, uh, yeah, we are
19:05
Speaker 3: going to We're we're bringing you into the o R
19:08
Speaker 3: right now. You are. She started bleeding, like she started
19:13
Speaker 3: like gushing blood, and that was because the baby's arm
19:18
Speaker 3: like ruptured her uterus, so her uterus is broken inside her.
19:26
Speaker 3: They get her to the OAR and then they just
19:28
Speaker 3: without you know, being under or anything, and I'm hoping
19:32
Speaker 3: the epidera was still working, but there was something dramatic
19:36
Speaker 3: about that too. They basically just had to like man
19:39
Speaker 3: handle the baby out of through the c section because
19:45
Speaker 3: the baby was stuck like in her there was like
19:49
Speaker 3: an arm stuck in the uterus, so they had like
19:52
Speaker 3: pulled the baby out with it being like kind of
19:56
Speaker 3: in intertwined with her uterus. Oh my God, like so traumatic. Obviously,
20:05
Speaker 3: just thank god that they're both here in both Okay.
20:09
Speaker 3: Another thing that was super scary about it all was
20:13
Speaker 3: that they he had a good amount of time without
20:15
Speaker 3: having good oxygen flow. So they were worried that there
20:19
Speaker 3: was brain damage, but so far everything looks good in
20:22
Speaker 3: that department, thank god. So then they had to put
20:28
Speaker 3: him into a therapeutic hypothermia to protect his brain post
20:34
Speaker 3: birth for seventy two hours. He had they set his
20:38
Speaker 3: body temperature at ninety two point three degrees and she
20:41
Speaker 3: didn't meet her son until he was two days old.
20:44
Speaker 3: Got to hold him on day four, once he was
20:47
Speaker 3: rewarmed and cleared of caesars and brain damage. Like, can
20:53
Speaker 3: you even imagine? No, the amount of time that then
20:59
Speaker 3: having to worry that he had brain damage is like
21:01
Speaker 3: the worst part for me too.
21:03
Speaker 2: There's just so much here. I mean, that is such
21:06
Speaker 2: a for some it's such a magical couple days and
21:12
Speaker 2: then you get like this new perspective I guess I
21:16
Speaker 2: think that's happening to me, where I'm like, Okay, you
21:19
Speaker 2: can't help, but put yourself in that scenario.
21:22
Speaker 3: Exactly. It's so much different having a parent, being a
21:25
Speaker 3: parent and then hearing of the trauma on birth.
21:29
Speaker 2: No wonder. I mean, they should have, they needed to.
21:31
Speaker 2: They took time before this came out. But we're with you,
21:35
Speaker 2: we're thinking about you. In fact, I just did a
21:36
Speaker 2: City cruise in San Diego. Yeah, two days ago with
21:40
Speaker 2: Wells and Chris, and somebody asked me about Crystal and
21:42
Speaker 2: updates on her during the question and answer, and honestly,
21:45
Speaker 2: I didn't have one. I didn't know at the time,
21:47
Speaker 2: and so I'm glad we're getting those updates out there.
21:50
Speaker 3: So and then to answer, like the headline of it all,
21:54
Speaker 3: they were able to miraculously repair her uterus. She went
22:00
Speaker 3: under immediately after the C section, and even though it's repaired,
22:07
Speaker 3: they say that it's best that she doesn't carry another
22:09
Speaker 3: child because you know, it could very easily burst again
22:15
Speaker 3: now if they want to look into service, and I'm
22:18
Speaker 3: sure that that could be an option, but good luck
22:21
Speaker 3: to you know. We're just so happy that they're home
22:23
Speaker 3: and happy and healthy and safe.
22:25
Speaker 2: Now. Yeah, I mean this is it hits home too,
22:28
Speaker 2: because this is one of the it's not exactly the same,
22:30
Speaker 2: but it's not too far off of why I'm an
22:32
Speaker 2: only child, and so my mom kind of went through
22:37
Speaker 2: some of these not quite the exact same, but not
22:40
Speaker 2: too far off scenarios.
22:43
Speaker 3: And complications when you were when you were born.
22:45
Speaker 2: Oh huge, Yeah, you've never heard this. Actually, Just side note,
22:49
Speaker 2: my dad had cancer. I knew that Hoskin's lymphoma, and
22:53
Speaker 2: my mom was bedridden and they were side by side
22:56
Speaker 2: in the hospital for like, I mean it was weeks
22:59
Speaker 2: like eight weeks or.
23:00
Speaker 3: Something when you were born. She was yeah, wait before
23:05
Speaker 3: she was born. We'll have to talk about this another time.
23:07
Speaker 3: For sure, it's crazy because I knew about your dad.
23:10
Speaker 3: I thought that was the reason that they only had
23:11
Speaker 3: to know.
23:12
Speaker 2: There was a lot that went on in that. But yeah,
23:14
Speaker 2: I mean, here's a cool part is it sounds like
23:18
Speaker 2: everybody is happy and healthy and back home, and we
23:20
Speaker 2: got to celebrate that for them and wish nothing but
23:25
Speaker 2: you know, upward health and peace as as time continues.
23:34
Speaker 2: Another story about babies. We covered this story a few
23:38
Speaker 2: years ago, and yet he decided to do it again.
23:41
Speaker 2: What a Sickoh honestly, Bachelor's Ari Lyondyke Junior makes another
23:49
Speaker 2: vasectomy appointment after baby number four, because hey, if you
23:53
Speaker 2: get one vasectomy, why not get to so funny?
23:57
Speaker 3: So he does make an amazing instant reel. It's a
24:01
Speaker 3: video of him to Adell being a ClOH you know, uh,
24:06
Speaker 3: what's whatever of the song goes it's me and then
24:10
Speaker 3: he goes I'd like to get another vasectomy. This is
24:13
Speaker 3: you know, like the overlay snip snip snip, and uh
24:17
Speaker 3: so funny. Basically Ari, you know, after the three kids,
24:22
Speaker 3: he decided to get the vasectomy. Last year September, we
24:26
Speaker 3: were at a Lawn's wedding and he was all telling
24:29
Speaker 3: us how they had reversed the vasectomy, how it's like
24:31
Speaker 3: a four hour long surgery, and well, this is they
24:36
Speaker 3: reversed it successfully, obviously, And now this is his third time,
24:40
Speaker 3: you know, because he called to get it and then
24:43
Speaker 3: reverse it. Now he's going again to get it again.
24:46
Speaker 2: Goodness, gracious, those two they can just put I mean
24:49
Speaker 2: good things. He's getting it because it feels like they
24:51
Speaker 2: could just pump out as many babies as they want
24:53
Speaker 2: to have, Like every time they pump and thrust, she's
24:55
Speaker 2: getting pregnant. That's wild.
24:59
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, they seem like they have to have it.
25:01
Speaker 3: There of execto me a necessary family.
25:03
Speaker 2: It's necessary. Did you get one?
25:07
Speaker 3: Well, Dawson took seven years to seven years, seven years,
25:11
Speaker 3: seven months to conceive and Hayden took two. And technically
25:17
Speaker 3: I like egg met sperm on try number one because
25:20
Speaker 3: I had the chemical pregnancy for month one, so, I mean,
25:24
Speaker 3: his record is pretty good, but he is going to
25:27
Speaker 3: get a visit. We have we been thinking about it. Yes,
25:29
Speaker 3: We've definitely been thinking about it because I want to
25:31
Speaker 3: get off birth control. I feel like I get so
25:33
Speaker 3: many headaches with it. I've been on it for so
25:35
Speaker 3: long you're like not really supposed to be on it,
25:37
Speaker 3: like in your upper thirties and such. So yeah, it's
25:42
Speaker 3: definitely a thought. It does feel like that weird finale feeling.
25:46
Speaker 3: And I was just like a month or so ago.
25:49
Speaker 3: It's like, it's not a big deal. Like if I
25:50
Speaker 3: were like forty and we decided to do something like
25:54
Speaker 3: I've yeah, like I think that's the way we would
25:56
Speaker 3: go with it. Anyway. I would be like, well, just
25:59
Speaker 3: pull your spur out of your balls and we'll do
26:02
Speaker 3: it a Pieture dish. It'll be fine. It's that a
26:03
Speaker 3: big deal or like I UI or whatnot. And then
26:08
Speaker 3: I was recently told that you definitely do not want
26:11
Speaker 3: to pull the sperm out of the balls like that,
26:12
Speaker 3: because apparently it's way more painful than even reversing the vasectomy.
26:19
Speaker 3: So anyway, then we do have to wrap this. I've got, yeah,
26:26
Speaker 3: some wifely duties to attend to wink wink.
26:30
Speaker 2: I love.
26:32
Speaker 3: I don't know exactly that was like a that was
26:35
Speaker 3: like supposed to be like an all encompassing moment, like
26:38
Speaker 3: taking a headline, taking the fact that the housewives.
26:41
Speaker 2: Now I thought he was snapping at you, like come
26:43
Speaker 2: back here, baby. The final headline is this is just
26:47
Speaker 2: a congratulations to Trista and Ryan said her on twenty
26:50
