Speaker 1: is about Ashley throwing up seven times a day. Thing. No,
0:56
Speaker 1: we're pregnant. We're so are not pregnant. We are not
1:01
Speaker 1: already messed up. Ashley is pregnant. We've decided on this
1:05
Speaker 1: because it's ridiculous to say we're pregnant. I'm I'm going
1:08
Speaker 1: through nothing right now. I'm just I did my twenty
1:11
Speaker 1: eight seconds of work and now it's all on Ashley,
1:13
Speaker 1: the poor thing and uh so actually pregnant, which we're
1:17
Speaker 1: so excited about. We're gonna have a child, a baby.
1:22
Speaker 1: But you know, Ashley's she's a little bit of a
1:24
Speaker 1: strong abus right now. Jared's gonna talk for the most
1:27
Speaker 1: part of this episode just so that I can like
1:31
Speaker 1: sit here and brave. But yeah, we're doing good. I'm
1:34
Speaker 1: excited for the baby to be here. Okay, so this
1:37
Speaker 1: is unfiltered Ashley, I do. I know that you're not
1:41
Speaker 1: feeling great right now, and Jared is going to handle
1:43
Speaker 1: a lot of this. But just to give our listeners
1:46
Speaker 1: a little background because for the last couple of weeks,
1:49
Speaker 1: they've probably wondered, like, you know, maybe Ashley has been
1:53
Speaker 1: maybe a little quieter on the show, or maybe like
1:57
Speaker 1: she's like been like coughing or like gagging on something. Actually, like,
2:03
Speaker 1: can you walk us through the kind of the scenario
2:08
Speaker 1: so far and how you've kind of dealt with being
2:11
Speaker 1: pregnant and this intense like sickness that you're feeling for
2:15
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. Um, well, I don't know
2:18
Speaker 1: how I've handled it. Part of me she needs to
2:21
Speaker 1: throw up. No, no, I it's not easy, but like, seriously,
2:27
Speaker 1: I'm just blessed that I get to work from home
2:30
Speaker 1: and that for the most part, I have like a
2:33
Speaker 1: schedule that's relatively flex flexible, and I can arrange my
2:38
Speaker 1: schedule because like, oh my gosh, Like does my heart
2:41
Speaker 1: go out to expectant mothers who are having to go
2:45
Speaker 1: to a nine to five at the office feeling like this,
2:48
Speaker 1: Like oh my goodness, I mean, look at this. You
2:51
Speaker 1: get to record a podcast from the couch right now.
2:53
Speaker 1: That's pretty good stuff. I'm so lucky. So I'm taking
2:56
Speaker 1: an Italian course because I'm finishing my bachelor's degree and
2:58
Speaker 1: this is the last class I have taken. My Italian
3:01
Speaker 1: professor is currently pregnant, and she was saying how she
3:05
Speaker 1: gets very sick during the first trimester and she's always
3:07
Speaker 1: jealous of women who don't get sick. But uh, she's
3:12
Speaker 1: rocking it. She's still teaching us virtually, so she's still
3:14
Speaker 1: working from home too as well. But she's on you know,
3:17
Speaker 1: the zoom call for two hours. That was a bad example.
3:19
Speaker 1: I'm talking about women who need to be in the office. Karen,
3:23
Speaker 1: very understandable. I get, I get what you're going for,
3:25
Speaker 1: but this is the only other thing I had. Well,
3:28
Speaker 1: this is a good lead into how are you two
3:30
Speaker 1: holding up through this time? I mean, you've never made it,
3:33
Speaker 1: you've never hit that. You guys are not only best
3:36
Speaker 1: friends but your lovers. But you guys, you you can
3:39
Speaker 1: go back and forth pretty well at each other. Has
3:42
Speaker 1: this season of being pregnant Ashley enhanced your relationship romantically?
3:47
Speaker 1: Or do you feel like you guys are like just battling. Oh,
3:52
Speaker 1: it's not battling at all. I feel actually horrible for Jared.
3:55
Speaker 1: Like I'm always saying like, I'm sorry, I love you,
3:59
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. That's the only thing she's said. She's so nice. Okay, wait,
4:05
Speaker 1: let's not be like, let's not try to be joking
4:06
Speaker 1: right now. I haven't been mean to you at all.
4:09
Speaker 1: She hasn't been mean to me. She really hasn't been.
4:11
Speaker 1: She's been very sweet. You know, I'm just gonna hold
4:12
Speaker 1: the mic side. We're going back and forth. We're on
4:14
Speaker 1: the couch right now. It's very uncomfortable, but this is
4:15
Speaker 1: what happens when you know you're pregnant. Okay, so it's
4:19
Speaker 1: not funny to be joking right now. Okay, I've been
4:22
Speaker 1: very nice to you. You've been great. There's lots of women.
4:26
Speaker 1: This is perfect. This is what I would want this
4:28
Speaker 1: to be get an insight baby, Yeah, this is uh.
4:32
Speaker 1: You know. This is a big day though, for really
4:35
Speaker 1: for the two of you, because we get to celebrate
4:36
Speaker 1: on the Almost Famous podcast. We have some great friends
4:38
Speaker 1: coming on. I want to personally say when I found
4:41
Speaker 1: out about this, I was so excited. My family and
4:46
Speaker 1: Jessica's family were very invested into your story. Justice Mom
4:52
Speaker 1: was so sweet. She was like, when it happened, it
4:55
Speaker 1: was supposed to be that egg, that sperm. That's what
4:58
Speaker 1: just sent me, which is like really sweet. Um, but
5:01
Speaker 1: why can I just say that, Like Jared has been
5:04
Speaker 1: extremely helpful, Like he's been so nice. He's always asking
5:09
Speaker 1: me what I want, He's always running errands, he's always
5:11
Speaker 1: doing like anything I need around the house, and like
5:16
Speaker 1: it's been amazing, But like I have been so disgusting
5:20
Speaker 1: that I feel bad that he has to listen to
5:22
Speaker 1: me throw up, that he's so bored because we can't
5:25
Speaker 1: do any like I don't do anything else, Like I
5:28
Speaker 1: do what I have to do work wise, And then
5:30
Speaker 1: I watched Gray's Anatomy all day long, and this poor
5:32
Speaker 1: guy is so bored. Sometimes we go outside in the
5:36
Speaker 1: backyard's wife like, I actually feel like a really wife. Babe,
5:40
Speaker 1: You're fine, You're pregnant. This is what happens. You're the
5:42
Speaker 1: one who's throwing off. The least I could do is
5:45
Speaker 1: hanging the house for a little while and then run
5:46
Speaker 1: to seven eleven to pick up a slurpee, which he
5:50
Speaker 1: only did for the first time this week, the first time.
5:52
Speaker 1: I've never been to seven eleven and get a slurpee,
5:55
Speaker 1: So I can check that one off in the old book. Um. Okay,
5:59
Speaker 1: so Jared, let's talk to you for a second. Uh.
6:03
Speaker 1: You said you put in twenty seven seconds of work
6:06
Speaker 1: to make this happen. Um, at this point, do you
6:11
Speaker 1: like as obviously? Um, I'm not even potentially close to
6:15
Speaker 1: being a father. I don't know how this experience feels.
6:18
Speaker 1: But in the course of your day, are you feeling
6:21
Speaker 1: like sad? Are you like super excited? Are you like
6:25
Speaker 1: what are your emotions wrapped around this right now? Well,
6:28
Speaker 1: I'm I'm very excited. I've always wanted to be a dad. Uh,
6:32
Speaker 1: it's really nice. We Ashley and I have wanted to
6:35
Speaker 1: start a family for a little while now, so it's
6:36
Speaker 1: so exciting that she's pregnant and we're starting this adventure together. Um.
6:42
Speaker 1: I feel guilty at times because actually I talked to
6:44
Speaker 1: Mark about this on Help I Suck, a Dating I
6:47
Speaker 1: Heart radio podcast you can listen to wherever you listen
6:50
Speaker 1: to this right now, shameless plug. But I was talking
6:52
Speaker 1: to Mark because obviously Mark has a couple of kids,
6:54
Speaker 1: and um it, I feel guilty because I don't feel
6:58
Speaker 1: that connected to the kid right now. The only time
7:00
Speaker 1: I have felt connected was when we were at our
7:03
Speaker 1: first doctor's appointment and we had the ultrasound. It was
7:06
Speaker 1: the first time when they put gel whatever that jelly
7:08
Speaker 1: stuff is on Ashley's belly and they had the ultrasound,
7:11
Speaker 1: you you could see the you know, the little aunt
7:14
Speaker 1: that is your child. Um. But other than that, you know,
7:18
Speaker 1: it's just because you know, we've gotten the positive pregnancy
7:20
Speaker 1: tests and we've told everybody, which is so exciting, but
7:22
Speaker 1: nothing really has changed for me. You know, Ashley is
7:26
Speaker 1: the one dealing with all the first trimester sickness. UM.
7:30
Speaker 1: So I think when we had the doctor's office that
7:33
Speaker 1: was the first time I felt really connected. And honestly,
7:35
Speaker 1: when we announced we did it on Amazon Live, that
7:38
Speaker 1: was honestly the second time I felt really connected because
7:40
Speaker 1: we're opening up all these baby items and we were
7:42
Speaker 1: looking at strollers and car seats and and there's like
7:46
Speaker 1: a little Patriot baby outfits and that was getting me
7:49
Speaker 1: very excited. Um. So I think my biggest emotion is
7:54
Speaker 1: a little bit of gil and I, you know it
7:57
Speaker 1: just for the simple fact that it's like, Okay, I
7:59
Speaker 1: get us. I guess you know we're gonna have a kid. Now.
8:03
Speaker 1: Why do I not feel like I'm a changed man?
8:06
Speaker 1: But talking to Mark and talking to other guys who
8:08
Speaker 1: have been fathers, they've reassured me that once that kid
8:10
Speaker 1: is born, like that's that's the moment right there, when
8:13
Speaker 1: you hold your kid for the first time in your arms,
8:15
Speaker 1: that's gonna be when it really clicks for you. And
8:19
Speaker 1: I don't feel connected to it either yet. Well, and
8:22
Speaker 1: it's interesting because after I found out, I was talking
8:26
Speaker 1: uh um to my mom and you know, every I
8:31
Speaker 1: think every parents have different kind of like journeys to
8:35
Speaker 1: to become pregnant. Uh and some it's super easy, for
8:39
Speaker 1: some it's it's not as easy for uh some kind
8:42
Speaker 1: of like battle through the whole pregnancy. And that's a
8:45
Speaker 1: whole different kind of journey, and then some dad's like
8:47
Speaker 1: the mom always feels I feel like a little connected,
8:49
Speaker 1: but the dad like it takes maybe a while because
8:52
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you have this baby and it's
8:53
Speaker 1: like all it needs me to do is like hold
8:54
Speaker 1: it and like changes diaper and that's it. And then
8:59
Speaker 1: at some point hits every father and I can't imagine
9:01
Speaker 1: a feeling where like a love rush comes over them. Hey,
9:04
Speaker 1: before we bring on our guest, Ashley, I do want
9:06
Speaker 1: to talk to you, I personally before I kind of
9:08
Speaker 1: take a step back and allow this to be a
9:10
Speaker 1: celebration for the two of you, I just want to
9:13
Speaker 1: say I'm so pumped for you too. It's always such
9:16
Speaker 1: an incredible thing when two amazing people bring a life
9:19
Speaker 1: into this world. Um, that's gonna, um just change the
9:23
Speaker 1: world for the better. That this child is gonna be
9:25
Speaker 1: loved on and grow up an amazing home. I'm so
9:28
Speaker 1: pumped for the two of you. Uh not just I'm
9:31
Speaker 1: just excited, um that this is where your story is going.
9:35
Speaker 1: Like I just have gotten to see this and personally
9:38
Speaker 1: selfishly get to sit by Ashley through a lot of
9:40
Speaker 1: different seasons of life and it's cool to sit through
9:43
Speaker 1: this one. Um, you guys are gonna be incredible parents,
9:46
Speaker 1: and Ash, I am really sorry that this is so
9:48
Speaker 1: hard right now because it is like I know, like
9:51
Speaker 1: you're you're being great right now. I know this has
9:54
Speaker 1: been like you don't feel good and um, and that sucks,
9:57
Speaker 1: but we'll believe it's gonna be worth it. Okay, thank
10:01
Speaker 1: you Ben for all of those sweet words. It's definitely
10:03
Speaker 1: gonna be worth it. You know. I was talking to
10:04
Speaker 1: a lot of friends who are parents and they said,
10:07
Speaker 1: Buddy might text me he goes first try, MMR sucks
10:10
Speaker 1: for her. Second try MMR is okay, third tried, MMR
10:13
Speaker 1: sucks for her. It's all worth it when the kid
10:15
Speaker 1: is born. And I was like, that's that's like the
10:17
Speaker 1: most fascinating thing is I've been getting so many stories
10:20
Speaker 1: on Instagram from moms who like just threw up the
10:22
Speaker 1: entire pregnancy and they're just so miserable, and then they
10:25
Speaker 1: did it again, and then they may have done it
10:27
Speaker 1: again after that, and they said that like you totally
10:29
Speaker 1: forget about it, and I'm like, I can't wait to
10:33
Speaker 1: experience this forget. I don't know how this is possible,
10:38
Speaker 1: but I think that it's got to be so much
10:41
Speaker 1: easier to go through this with your second child than
10:43
Speaker 1: your first, because with your first you don't even really
10:45
Speaker 1: know what's coming, like you don't know the love that
10:47
Speaker 1: you're about to feel. And at least with the second,
10:50
Speaker 1: you're like, I know that this is all worth it.
10:52
Speaker 1: I know this is all worth it. I mean, and
10:53
Speaker 1: of course, like I know that it's worth it now,
10:56
Speaker 1: But like, it's got to be easier when you've actually
10:58
Speaker 1: felt the love before. Oh yeah, you don't have to,
11:00
Speaker 1: you don't. I don't think any parent out there is going,
11:03
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, you're saying, like, right now, this is
11:04
Speaker 1: like all really hard and there's like no idea what
11:07
Speaker 1: it feels like later. I think it's a fair place
11:09
Speaker 1: to sit. I think it's a good place to sit. Well, hey,
11:11
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a step back. We're gonna bring on
11:13
Speaker 1: some of your closest friends that are part of the
11:16
Speaker 1: almost Famous family, the almost famous listeners. I'm gonna speak
11:18
Speaker 1: on behalf of all of them and say, Ashley, Jared,
11:20
Speaker 1: they cannot be more excited for you. They're so excited
11:23
Speaker 1: to keep up with this. We're gonna actually do I'm
11:25
Speaker 1: gonna commit to it right now. Ashley, We're gonna do
11:27
Speaker 1: an episode in in a few weeks, uh, with just you.
11:30
Speaker 1: I think we need to do an in depth with
11:31
Speaker 1: Ashley con Edtie to talk about just like your life
11:34
Speaker 1: up to this point, and then maybe do it once
11:36
Speaker 1: you become a mother and once this baby is born.
11:40
Speaker 1: I think that would just be super special for us.
11:42
Speaker 1: That would be very nice. Let's wait till I feel good, Okay, perfect, Hey,
11:46
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a step back. Our first guest are
11:48
Speaker 1: two people that love you dearly, love you both a lot.
11:51
Speaker 1: They're incredible people. Uh. They have their own podcast scrubbing
11:54
Speaker 1: in It's beca Tilly and Tan your ad. Thank you, ladies,
12:01
Speaker 1: we appreciate it. I just I told Ashley, I was like,
12:04
Speaker 1: the best jawline has been created, the best jaw line
12:09
Speaker 1: to ever exist. Jared gets concerned that our kids gonna
12:12
Speaker 1: be like two bony structure on the face. Our kid's
12:15
Speaker 1: gonna be so pointy, pointy nose, pointy, jaw pointy. Everything
12:20
Speaker 1: I was telling you yesterday, like trying to make light
12:22
Speaker 1: of me, like not feeling good. I was like, you know,
12:24
Speaker 1: let's let's trying to imagine the kid. For a second,
12:27
Speaker 1: it's like, what do you want? I was like, I
12:30
Speaker 1: want your face. I just want your face to be
12:34
Speaker 1: the kid. I was like, if it's a girl, I
12:37
Speaker 1: would like it to have my nose and then maybe
12:39
Speaker 1: the kids could get my teeth. But other than that,
12:42
Speaker 1: like just full blown you. Yeah. But the funny thing
12:44
Speaker 1: is is you guys know, sorry, we're like talking as
12:46
Speaker 1: back end time you're here, but it's we kind of
12:49
Speaker 1: we do look alike. I know people say this all
12:52
Speaker 1: the time, so we do have very similar features, so
12:54
Speaker 1: it's really not that drastic if they get your nose
12:57
Speaker 1: compared to my nose, your eyes compared to my eyes, right,
13:01
Speaker 1: and actually just newsplash, you don't really get to pick. Yeah,
13:05
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to imagine, because Jade was saying that
13:08
Speaker 1: she imagined Emmy's face like while she was creating her,
13:13
Speaker 1: and then then she came out looking like just like
13:15
Speaker 1: what she wanted. Manifesting works, I know, and I'm a
13:20
Speaker 1: manifest er. This is so vain of us. I just
13:24
Speaker 1: want a happy baby, happy healthy baby. Well yeah, of course,
13:27
Speaker 1: but if it makes you feel better, gives you a
13:29
Speaker 1: break from the nausea, then do what you have to do. Yeah, wait,
13:33
Speaker 1: can I ask you like a weird question because I
13:37
Speaker 1: feel like, no, like I love you know, I love
13:39
Speaker 1: your your love that the two of you have, like
13:40
Speaker 1: I told you all along, like I just I love
13:43
Speaker 1: the way you love each other. It's just it's so beautiful.
13:46
Speaker 1: And I feel like a baby is like the biggest
13:48
Speaker 1: expression of love when you conceived, Like, was it? Did
13:54
Speaker 1: it feel different? I gotta be honest, as a guy's
13:58
Speaker 1: point of view, exactly, not much change for me, Ashley, Well,
14:07
Speaker 1: I mean but maybe it'd around the bush air. But
14:11
Speaker 1: I definitely think it's crazy to think like I think
14:14
Speaker 1: we don't think like this often, but like this kid
14:18
Speaker 1: is half Chared and half me and that's all it's
14:22
Speaker 1: made up of, its Hid and me. And that's so weird,
14:25
Speaker 1: so weird. But did you feel did you know, like
14:33
Speaker 1: now looking back, we know when it happened. Are we
14:36
Speaker 1: going to be this explicit right now, not detail oriented,
14:39
Speaker 1: but just be like, oh that, like something feels different
14:42
Speaker 1: in your body? Did your body tell you afterwards like, oh,
14:46
Speaker 1: something's changing. I always would like feel something. I'd always
14:50
Speaker 1: like in my head makeup, so like when we were trying,
14:52
Speaker 1: I would always be like oh that's the spurn meeting
14:55
Speaker 1: the egg right now. Every every all seven months, I
14:59
Speaker 1: was like, oh, I this is this is it? This
15:01
Speaker 1: is the time. She did say that a couple of
15:02
Speaker 1: times She's like, oh, my body feels different, and then
15:04
Speaker 1: she'd fart and be like, okay, never mind, that was
15:06
Speaker 1: just fart. We are able to pinpoint the one time
15:15
Speaker 1: it was gonna Are you able to pinpoint it? Yeah?
15:18
Speaker 1: Because I had like a weird cycle that month, So yeah,
15:22
Speaker 1: we were able to pinpoint it interesting, which is like sweet,
15:27
Speaker 1: It's so sweet. I had a weird cycle. The Tanya goes, oh,
15:36
Speaker 1: I like that here in tune? Would you guys want
15:38
Speaker 1: to know for your parents to be like, I know
15:41
Speaker 1: the day, I know everything that happened. I know a
15:44
Speaker 1: day you were born, your mom's electricity went Out's see,
15:47
Speaker 1: that's something I don't need to know. Yeah, I don't
15:50
Speaker 1: want to know, like the soundtrack that was playing while
15:52
Speaker 1: I was being conceived. I want to know, like the
15:56
Speaker 1: moon at which, like the zodiac moon which I was under,
15:59
Speaker 1: like all the things. I think I must have been
16:03
Speaker 1: conceived around Valentine's Day because it's about nine months. Okay,
16:07
Speaker 1: you're Valentine's day baby, I think I might be now
16:10
Speaker 1: what we're talking about. It not something I like to
16:12
Speaker 1: think about, you know, too deeply. But see like now
16:16
Speaker 1: that I'm thinking of, like the song Tiny's got the
16:18
Speaker 1: song stuck in my head and there's no doubt in
16:20
Speaker 1: my mind that the song that was playing when Tanya
16:23
Speaker 1: was conceived was here comes the Sun playlist ready for
16:31
Speaker 1: the delivery. I don't know Matchbox, I don't know that
16:38
Speaker 1: I'm going to be a music in the delivery room
16:41
Speaker 1: zen sort of person. It's just gonna be like we're
16:44
Speaker 1: going to fucking freak out right now and then, um,
16:50
Speaker 1: but I do want to start putting headphones up to
16:53
Speaker 1: my belly and like develop the kid's sense of music
16:57
Speaker 1: taste early on. It's actually really cool. Uh, my heart
17:01
Speaker 1: and Ashley and Jared haven't They don't know this yet,
17:03
Speaker 1: but we've agreed to do a live podcast the hour
17:06
Speaker 1: that the baby is born from the hospital room. It's
17:08
Speaker 1: gonna be awesome. She'll be screaming and you'll be streaming. Yeah. Actually,
17:17
Speaker 1: describe how you're feeling right now. Describe all your emotions
17:22
Speaker 1: just like death stare wait do you all have um?
17:25
Speaker 1: Like was you know how some people have their names
17:28
Speaker 1: picked out, like before they even like get to the
17:31
Speaker 1: point of conceiving being a child. Are you all those
17:34
Speaker 1: parents are are you still kind of Oh? You haven't ready.
17:37
Speaker 1: I had the name picked out. I remember when I
17:40
Speaker 1: picked out the name. Was that a New Kids on
17:42
Speaker 1: the Block concert. I was twenty years old, and I
17:45
Speaker 1: was just like walking around the arena and I, how
17:48
Speaker 1: did you think it? How do you think of that
17:50
Speaker 1: name at a New Kids on the Block concert? Has
17:53
Speaker 1: nothing to do with new kids? Well, okay, so I
17:55
Speaker 1: wanted for a girl. I wanted to name her Arena,
17:58
Speaker 1: but Jerry doesn't like her arena. So I was walking
18:01
Speaker 1: around the arena just feeling so alive, and that's how
18:05
Speaker 1: I came up with a girl name. And then I
18:07
Speaker 1: think that the guy named dawned on me at the
18:10
Speaker 1: same exact time. Um, I don't know why I was
18:14
Speaker 1: thinking about this at the time. But but Becca, you're
18:16
Speaker 1: gonna love it. Um, But but now all we have
18:22
Speaker 1: said is a boy's name. Because Jared loves the boy
18:25
Speaker 1: name that I picked out at twenty he did not
18:27
Speaker 1: like arena. Arena is so funny. It's gonna be nick
18:34
Speaker 1: vill Haven. Benn. I feel like Tanya could really appreciate
18:37
Speaker 1: arena because like, don't you feel the most alive there? Yeah?
18:41
Speaker 1: Like yeah, or like concert? But I feel like that's
18:44
Speaker 1: not a cute name I once thought of for a
18:48
Speaker 1: boy venue. Oh my, this is getting out of control. Hey,
18:54
Speaker 1: we gotta go. I love you, thank you so much.
19:12
Speaker 1: Up next is a special guest who is making a
19:15
Speaker 1: strong campaign to how the baby named after him, and
19:20
Speaker 1: it seems like Ashley and Jared might be down with it.
19:23
Speaker 1: We're gonna let them fight it out and discuss it
19:25
Speaker 1: right here on the Almost Famous podcast. We have one
19:27
Speaker 1: of their closest friends, somebody they see as a brother,
19:30
Speaker 1: a mentor have brought them together in love. Nick Vile, Nick,
19:34
Speaker 1: Welcome to Almost Famous. Great to be here, guys, Congratulations
19:38
Speaker 1: you too little worried at first? Trump Jared had it
19:42
Speaker 1: in him, But I got I got some swimmers, baby,
19:45
Speaker 1: just a couple, just enough. You weren't the only one.
19:50
Speaker 1: Um wait wait wait, wait wait wait wait, explain what
19:53
Speaker 1: do you mean was that comment? Yeah? That was weird. Well,
19:59
Speaker 1: it wasn't weird. I always I've always just felt with
20:01
Speaker 1: myself as a super fertile. So I was like, if
20:04
Speaker 1: we're gonna have an issue here. I don't think it's
20:06
Speaker 1: gonna be me. Well, it wasn't you either. The only
20:10
Speaker 1: hard part for you, Jared is that you and actually
20:13
Speaker 1: kind of look alike. So there's really no confidence that
20:17
Speaker 1: even if the baby comes up looking like Ashley, that
20:19
Speaker 1: it's actually yours. Man. We always said, uh, somebody was.
20:23
Speaker 1: Ashley was talking about what she wants the kid to
20:26
Speaker 1: look like, what features, and I was like, Babe, it
20:28
Speaker 1: doesn't matter like our nose looks like. If he has
20:31
Speaker 1: your nose, I'm never gonna be able to tell. If
20:33
Speaker 1: he has my eyes. I'm never gonna be able to
20:35
Speaker 1: tell if she has your hair, Like we look too
20:37
Speaker 1: much alike. No, your eyes are distinguished. I prefer them
20:40
Speaker 1: to have your eyes anyway. So so Nick, why should
20:44
Speaker 1: we name the kid after you? I mean, I really
20:48
Speaker 1: don't think you're going to good. Guess what are you considering?
20:54
Speaker 1: Is it you have boy? Do you guys know? Yeah,
20:56
Speaker 1: we know the boy name, but we're not saying anything
20:58
Speaker 1: until it comes out. But but but we don't know this
21:00
Speaker 1: actually the baby. We actually find out this week. Oh yeah,
21:02
Speaker 1: that's yeah, we find out this week. But guys, this
21:05
Speaker 1: is a question for you. Do you think we should
21:07
Speaker 1: do a gender reveal or just find out like on
21:09
Speaker 1: our own. I'm team find out on our own. Listen, like, listen, guys.
21:15
Speaker 1: You know, I think you should still keep making money
21:17
Speaker 1: off of your family and love, Like, you know, can
21:20
Speaker 1: you get paid for this gender reveal? Like, there's no
21:23
Speaker 1: reason to stop now if we can make Like do
21:30
Speaker 1: you have you already created an Instagram account for your
21:32
Speaker 1: unborn child? No? I don't think we're going to you're
21:35
Speaker 1: going to either. I have no desire. That's just another headache.
21:40
Speaker 1: You're just gonna make money off of your actually Instagram. Yeah,
21:45
Speaker 1: well they're like the kids. Not We're not gonna make
21:47
Speaker 1: money off the kids Instagram, like Emmy doesn't make money
21:50
Speaker 1: off of her Instagram. I don't think. Yeah, no, I don't.
21:53
Speaker 1: But we're still going to show out your child, right
21:55
Speaker 1: Oh obviously? Oh next? Okay, so if we so, we'll
22:03
Speaker 1: do a gender reveal if it's paid, Ben, what do
22:08
Speaker 1: you think about this? What other reason is there to
22:12
Speaker 1: do it? I don't know. Jared thinks it's like cute
22:16
Speaker 1: and fun for the family to like bond over, and
22:18
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'll tell Nick that he's gonna think even
22:21
Speaker 1: less of me. No, I think that's fine. I mean again,
22:25
Speaker 1: like I think if you do a gender reveal like
22:27
Speaker 1: low Steaks, I don't think we need to, you know,
22:29
Speaker 1: start any forest fires or like does don't try to
22:33
Speaker 1: have the most crazy gender reveal, like literally just like
22:39
Speaker 1: have one of your parents like read the card like
22:44
Speaker 1: a day card, like a day card. Yeah, actually that's
22:47
Speaker 1: not a bad idea. That's a cute video. Yeah, I don't.
22:54
Speaker 1: Or like you know, like here's what you do. You
22:57
Speaker 1: get like Tom Brady on cameo and hey him, I'm
23:00
Speaker 1: a cameo to reveal this sex and your child. If
23:03
Speaker 1: Tom Brady was on cameo, we would pay for that.
23:07
Speaker 1: He'd probably be ten dollars on cameo. Ben Ben, I
23:10
Speaker 1: want to tell you how we told Nick. So we
23:12
Speaker 1: FaceTime Nick to tell him before we announced, and of
23:16
Speaker 1: course he was outside without a shirt on, and I
23:18
Speaker 1: was like, this is perfect. And then he answers the
23:20
Speaker 1: FaceTime and he goes, you're pregnant, aren't you and said, yes,
23:24
Speaker 1: yes we are, and he's like yeah, I figured why
23:26
Speaker 1: to face time. And so we talked about the pregnancy
23:28
Speaker 1: for a good i'd say about ninety seconds, and then
23:31
Speaker 1: the rest of the conversation was all about Nick's TikTok,
23:35
Speaker 1: and I was like, this brings so much happiness and
23:37
Speaker 1: joyed in my heart. I can't tell you how much
23:39
Speaker 1: I love this fairness to me. You guys asked a
23:42
Speaker 1: question about it. I answered me and like, yeah, I
23:49
Speaker 1: won't take this criticism. You know you would want it
23:58
Speaker 1: no other way. I would be a wrong advocate of UH.
24:02
Speaker 1: I kind of like the gender reveal idea, especially for
24:05
Speaker 1: the surprise element, and so especially in today's world, it's
24:10
Speaker 1: hard to find moments to like really celebrate with people,
24:14
Speaker 1: and we don't know how long we're gonna do that
24:15
Speaker 1: for it. I like that, but I'm feeling I mean, Ashley,
24:19
Speaker 1: I get to talk with you on this podcast and
24:22
Speaker 1: kind of enter the guests, and we've had you know,
24:24
Speaker 1: Lance Bass and Nick carteron. I mean, why not get
24:27
Speaker 1: some of these boy banders to get together at one
24:29
Speaker 1: of their shows and just light this thing on fire
24:32
Speaker 1: and see what it comes out. Like, how cool would
24:34
Speaker 1: that be to say, the Backstreet Boys revealed your child
24:37
Speaker 1: in November at one of those shows that we talked about.
24:40
Speaker 1: It's actually liked well, that would be That would be
24:42
Speaker 1: even more of a dream for Jared because yeah, they
24:45
Speaker 1: could be like, uh wanted that a way. It's a boy.
24:50
Speaker 1: Oh wait, that's amazing. We have to think about this.
24:56
Speaker 1: But before we let Nick go, um, Nick, your mom
24:59
Speaker 1: had ten children, and like, how was she? Like her
25:04
Speaker 1: pregnancy is super easy? Like in order to be able
25:07
Speaker 1: to do this, You're I'm never I'll be honest, I
25:11
Speaker 1: haven't really said done with my mom and be like,
25:13
Speaker 1: let's talk about not delivering. Like you were the second oldest.
25:20
Speaker 1: So I'm wondering if like you saw your mom puke
25:23
Speaker 1: a lot or I did not know she's she's the
25:27
Speaker 1: strongest woman. I may know, my guest, she had a
25:30
Speaker 1: variety of different pregnancies. You know. Yeah, yeah, Well, I
25:36
Speaker 1: love you guys. I couldn't be happier for you guys.
25:38
Speaker 1: I love you guys. You know, before Nick goes to,
25:41
Speaker 1: let's take a moment and soak in because I know
25:44
Speaker 1: Nick loves these moments. But like, think of how far
25:47
Speaker 1: we've come, Uncle Ben and Uncle Nick right here, Ashley,
25:51
Speaker 1: I can Eddie and Jared Haven are having a baby together.
25:54
Speaker 1: I love you guys. It's pretty cool. That's a sweet moment.
25:56
Speaker 1: I actually felt that I got him. I get a
25:58
Speaker 1: little Yeah, it's been seven years in September since all
26:02
Speaker 1: this start. Come a long way from crying at DNA
26:05
Speaker 1: fun thanking everyone around us, making me think I made
26:12
Speaker 1: you cry. I love you. Up next to somebody who
26:32
Speaker 1: has always celebrated this relationship, somebody who is not only
26:36
Speaker 1: a friend of the podcast but a friend to all
26:39
Speaker 1: of us, Somebody who is living her best life right
26:41
Speaker 1: now and seems to always be living her best life,
26:43
Speaker 1: and she can give you a little insight, Ashley. It's
26:46
Speaker 1: Amanda Stanton. Hi, Hi, Okay, I have more questions for
26:53
Speaker 1: you than you could have for me right now. I know.
26:57
Speaker 1: I texted you a couple of days ago saying how
26:59
Speaker 1: long does the sickness last? Four? And you said sixteen
27:01
Speaker 1: weeks for you, right, I mean, okay. Then I saw
27:05
Speaker 1: you post about house. Some people say it lasted the
27:07
Speaker 1: whole time, and I mean that wasn't the case for me.
27:11
Speaker 1: Mine lasted. I would say like fourteen fourteen weeks, okay, yeah,
27:14
Speaker 1: the average to be about like fourteen to sixteen weeks um.
27:19
Speaker 1: And then like, did you like feel good? Like was
27:22
Speaker 1: there like a second trimester feeling good? Yeah? I think
27:26
Speaker 1: the second trimester was like the most enjoyable for me
27:30
Speaker 1: because and it's also fun because that's when you start showing. Yeah, yeah,
27:33
Speaker 1: that's so exciting. Yeah, that makes you totally feel different.
27:36
Speaker 1: That makes you feel like, oh, I'm pregnant and I'm
27:38
Speaker 1: cute instead of like, oh i'm pregnant, I'm just barfing.
27:41
Speaker 1: Um so if okay, so I have a question between
27:48
Speaker 1: your first and your second. So with your first, when
27:51
Speaker 1: you were like throwing up and like not comfortable and stuff,
27:55
Speaker 1: were you feeling connected to the baby? Were you excited
27:59
Speaker 1: when you say you were excited and happy or did
28:01
Speaker 1: you just feel kind of And then with at least
28:05
Speaker 1: with Charlie, you were able to be like, oh, I
28:08
Speaker 1: know what's coming. I know how like glorious of a
28:11
Speaker 1: gift this is, and I know the love I'm going
28:13
Speaker 1: to feel, So like I'm I can have a better
28:17
Speaker 1: like attitude the entire time. Yeah, I mean, okay, so
28:21
Speaker 1: this sounds so weird, But when I was pregnant with Charlie,
28:24
Speaker 1: I think I was so scared because I loved kids
28:26
Speaker 1: so much and I kind of had this fear of like,
28:28
Speaker 1: there's no way I'm gonna love the second one the
28:30
Speaker 1: same obviously I do, but I think I was so
28:34
Speaker 1: scared of that, but I think I didn't really feel
28:37
Speaker 1: super connected. It doesn't feel real for what And so
28:41
Speaker 1: like you'll start feeling and moving and I feel like
28:44
Speaker 1: that's when you really feel like it's real. Okay, Okay,
28:47
Speaker 1: that makes me feel good. And then like you know
28:50
Speaker 1: how they say, you know, it comes out and it's
28:53
Speaker 1: like a love you've never felt before in your life.
28:55
Speaker 1: And like nobody who doesn't have anybody who doesn't have
28:58
Speaker 1: a kid, like they don't understand it. Can you explain
29:01
Speaker 1: how it feels like when you hold them in your
29:03
Speaker 1: arms for the first time, and like how it's truly
29:06
Speaker 1: something that you've never help before. Yeah, it's so crazy.
29:09
Speaker 1: I mean I remember, like towards the end of my pregnancy,
29:13
Speaker 1: like I would say thirty four two. I had both
29:16
Speaker 1: of them earlier, like around thirty seven weeks, and I
29:19
Speaker 1: was like kind of miserable those last couple of weeks.
29:21
Speaker 1: I'm also the most impatient person ever, so I was
29:24
Speaker 1: like just done being pregnant. And as soon as you
29:27
Speaker 1: have them and hold them, like you forget about everything,
29:31
Speaker 1: you forget about, like you'll forget about your morning sickness
29:33
Speaker 1: that I promise. I know everybody says this and I'm like,
29:36
Speaker 1: what are you talking about? How am I going to
29:38
Speaker 1: forget this? But everybody says, you do? You do? You
29:42
Speaker 1: forget about it in a second. It's so crazy, and
29:45
Speaker 1: you're just gonna like stare at them all the time.
29:47
Speaker 1: Like I would just stare at the kids all the time.
29:50
Speaker 1: It was crazy. I would stare at them for hours. Wait,
29:54
Speaker 1: am I crazy? Here? How many weeks? Like it's thirty
29:58
Speaker 1: six weeks right for day? Trust me, Ben, I'm learning
30:03
Speaker 1: so much as well. Friends, I thought it was nine months,
30:05
Speaker 1: so I guess it's like a full nine months, like
30:06
Speaker 1: end of nine months, not hitting it nine months? Okay,
30:09
Speaker 1: can I be? Can I ask you a question? I'm
30:11
Speaker 1: definitely gonna get in trouble for um. But now that
30:15
Speaker 1: Amanda's here, I need both of your like I need
30:18
Speaker 1: everybody's insights because I've had a couple of buddies of
30:22
Speaker 1: mine have kids and they have huge expectations. Like I
30:25
Speaker 1: remember sitting with them as their wives are pregnant, and
30:29
Speaker 1: They're like, right now, it just doesn't even feel like
30:31
Speaker 1: anything is changing, and I'm worried that like it won't
30:34
Speaker 1: be this immediate love and so all, do you know
30:37
Speaker 1: any mothers or parents who when the baby is born,
30:40
Speaker 1: like it still is that feeling of like, oh I
30:42
Speaker 1: still don't feel anything, but then over time that love grows.
30:46
Speaker 1: Like do you know any of these stories? Because I
30:49
Speaker 1: feel like setting up this expectation for as soon as
30:51
Speaker 1: the baby's born everything's gonna change might be like almost
30:54
Speaker 1: a little dangerous, like because what if that doesn't happen.
30:57
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that it's definitely the case for
30:59
Speaker 1: a lot of people. I don't know anyone personally or
31:01
Speaker 1: at least that I like openly talked about it, but
31:03
Speaker 1: I do know like friends of friends that have had
31:07
Speaker 1: that happen and like felts not super connected right away
31:11
Speaker 1: and it's taken time, always turns out fine. But I
31:15
Speaker 1: think that's probably common, you know, could happen differently for sure. Yeah,
31:19
Speaker 1: And I think with like Amanda said, I think everybody
31:22
Speaker 1: who's reaching out now, because across the board, everybody who's
31:25
Speaker 1: reached out has said once that kid is born, like
31:29
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be the greatest thing ever. But I'm
31:32
Speaker 1: curious if that's just kind of semantics and when when
31:35
Speaker 1: they say like the kid is born, maybe not like
31:37
Speaker 1: the first time you hold them, but like in the
31:38
Speaker 1: first couple of weeks, when like the kid is looking
31:41
Speaker 1: at you and you know that like, oh my god,
31:45
Speaker 1: you will die, you will die without many I think
31:47
Speaker 1: maybe that is kind of when the love really really
31:50
Speaker 1: starts growing. I would bet so, And I bet it
31:52
Speaker 1: matters towards each person. But the love that you all
31:55
Speaker 1: have for your animals, now this is a crazy thing.
31:58
Speaker 1: But like I think too, Yeah, like the amount that
32:01
Speaker 1: like you probably like worry about your puppies will probably
32:05
Speaker 1: be and that like almost scares me, Amanda. I'm interested
32:08
Speaker 1: in what you would say, because like I've had dogs,
32:10
Speaker 1: Like I don't have a dog right now, because when
32:12
Speaker 1: I lost my dog ten years ago, like it still hurts,
32:16
Speaker 1: It still hurts, Like I love that pup so much.
32:18
Speaker 1: I'm worried that when I become a dad, like I
32:22
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm gonna be able to function, Like
32:24
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm gonna be able to like,
32:26
Speaker 1: like I'll be worried all the time. I'll be like obsessed.
32:30
Speaker 1: Is that Like is that how you feel sometimes? Yeah,
32:34
Speaker 1: and not not too scary ash or Jared, but like
32:37
Speaker 1: after I had kids. My anxiety is like through the rooms.
32:42
Speaker 1: Like I have crippling anxiety, and it started when I
32:45
Speaker 1: had them, And I think that's why, Like you don't
32:47
Speaker 1: just have to worry about yourself, then you have to
32:49
Speaker 1: worry about keeping them alive and making sure they're okay.
32:53
Speaker 1: And I don't know, it's definitely it's a lot. I
32:57
Speaker 1: see what you're talking about then, so I mean, like yes,
33:01
Speaker 1: but like it's not something that consumes you every day.
33:05
Speaker 1: Everybody asked me what one of my most nervous about
33:08
Speaker 1: becoming a parent. It's the kid breathing. That's what I'm
33:12
Speaker 1: most nervous about because they're so delicate. Like yeah, it's
33:17
Speaker 1: just like I know myself and I know that in
33:20
Speaker 1: the middle of the night, even if the baby's not crying,
33:23
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna be paranoid that it's suffocating and be
33:26
Speaker 1: checking on this the kids every time when when both
33:30
Speaker 1: of them are babies, especially kids ocause she was the first,
33:33
Speaker 1: I was so scared that and you don't really get
33:35
Speaker 1: any sleep when you have a baby. And even there,
33:38
Speaker 1: during the times where she was asleep and I was
33:39
Speaker 1: able to sleep, I would set an alarm on my
33:42
Speaker 1: phone This is one of the craziest things I've ever done.
33:44
Speaker 1: Every forty five minutes just to make sure that she
33:47
Speaker 1: was breathing. Oh no, I didn't sleep at all. There's
33:50
Speaker 1: this new baby monitor that we showed off on the
33:53
Speaker 1: Amazon and like the monitor of the video can records
33:58
Speaker 1: what they're breathing at and like you can see it
34:00
Speaker 1: on your phone. And I think if something were to
34:03
Speaker 1: happen where the breathing would stop, I think it probably
34:06
Speaker 1: alerts you, which is like insanely cool. Is that I
34:11
Speaker 1: don't know it could be that would make sense that
34:14
Speaker 1: that was in a round. So I feel like there's
34:15
Speaker 1: so many new things now, so I'm sure things that
34:18
Speaker 1: couldn't eas remind for sure for sure, But Ben, I
34:22
Speaker 1: understand exactly. I'm like, well, if it's anything like the
34:26
Speaker 1: love we have for the lowest, I mean, that's that's
34:30
Speaker 1: gonna be awesome. It's gonna be awesome. But I'm I'm
34:34
Speaker 1: relating with Amanda where like it you know, now that
34:37
Speaker 1: I've met Jess and now that we're getting closer to
34:39
Speaker 1: our wedding, and like all these questions come like every
34:41
Speaker 1: once in a while, let my mind slip into like, hey,
34:44
Speaker 1: at some point, hopefully God willing. No matter what you know,
34:47
Speaker 1: adoption or whatever, I'm gonna become a father. And like
34:50
Speaker 1: when I started to go down that trail, like my
34:52
Speaker 1: anxiety starts to like I have to stop because I'm
34:55
Speaker 1: just like I'm I'm gonna be a crazy father, Like
34:58
Speaker 1: I won't know what to do with myself. I'm Amanda. UM,
35:01
Speaker 1: do you have any advice for the two of these
35:03

Speaker 1: that you wish somebody would have told you? Um, well,
35:09

35:13
Speaker 1: I would say, just don't be so hard on yourself.
35:20
Speaker 1: And I think like everyone puts so much pressure on
35:22
Speaker 1: doing everything perfectly and like sleep, training, and there's gonna
35:26
Speaker 1: be a million different things. Um, I would just say,
35:28
Speaker 1: you don't get so much pressure on yourself. Just take
35:32
Speaker 1: a day by day. That's good advice. Thank you, Thank you,

36:35
Speaker 1: looking all beautiful about to be a great sister Ashley
36:39
Speaker 1: and Jared. Any final words for anybody listening, uh, as
36:43
Speaker 1: you prepare for this new season of life. Yeah, I
36:47
Speaker 1: think that like, I can be like very honest and
36:50
Speaker 1: transparent about everything, and I don't want that to come
36:52
Speaker 1: across as like, oh, Ashley just miserable and she doesn't
36:55
Speaker 1: like she's not so happy and blah blah. I am
36:59
Speaker 1: It's just I'm also being real about how I'm currently
37:02
Speaker 1: feeling at the moment, and I don't want anybody to
37:05
Speaker 1: think that. It doesn't mean that I'm like not super
37:08
Speaker 1: happy for what's in store for us. Yeah. No, I
37:11
Speaker 1: I tell Ashley all the time too that there's nothing
37:14
Speaker 1: wrong with her saying, Wow, this sucks. I feel really sick,
37:17
Speaker 1: because it's amazing how so many people reached out after
37:20
Speaker 1: they found out that Ashley was sick and they said, oh,
37:23
Speaker 1: I was sick the whole nine months. It was terrible,
37:25
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah, And it's like, there's nothing
37:28
Speaker 1: by you saying hey, I'm struggling right now does not
37:31
Speaker 1: mean that, hey, I'm not going to love this child.
37:34
Speaker 1: I know Ashley. I know she's going to love her
37:36
Speaker 1: with everything she has. Or I did say her, actually,
37:39
Speaker 1: I know that was interesting. Uh, She's going to love
37:42
Speaker 1: either her or him with everything she has, all of
37:45
Speaker 1: her hearts. So I think we're just very excited, you know.
37:49
Speaker 1: We we obviously moved from Los Angeles to Rhode Island
37:51
Speaker 1: earlier this year, and I'm so happy that we did
37:53
Speaker 1: that because now Ashley is pregnant. We're really close with
37:57
Speaker 1: her family, my family obviously we're living renounced or closer
38:01
Speaker 1: to my family, uh physically, but um, you know we're
38:05
Speaker 1: very close down here, and we're in Virginia right now
38:08
Speaker 1: with her family. So yes, I think that's all I
38:13
Speaker 1: have to say that and the fact that, um, I
38:17
Speaker 1: have been just mind boggled as to like, how so
38:21
Speaker 1: the first trimester is like such a secret? I think
38:25
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people don't come out, you know,
38:27
Speaker 1: they don't talk about their pregnancy until the second trimester, right,
38:29
Speaker 1: and yeah, we're at the tail end of the first
38:32
Speaker 1: and I think it's I think it's crazy how it's
38:35
Speaker 1: like almost taboo to talk about the first trimester. And
38:39
Speaker 1: I wish I was. I wish it wasn't so much
38:42
Speaker 1: so that I wouldn't have been so surprised. Is he
38:44
Speaker 1: taboo or maybe Amanda was onto something, because I feel
38:47
Speaker 1: like I've heard this a lot, people like just forget
38:50
Speaker 1: because when the kid is born, or it could be
38:52
Speaker 1: that too. Actually, I think from moms it's probably that like, oh,
38:56
Speaker 1: it's just so worth it that you don't give it
38:58
Speaker 1: a second thought. Yeah, you're kind of forgetting, you forget
39:02
Speaker 1: once that baby is born. Well, I do have some
39:04
Speaker 1: advice from my mother who has been following your story,
39:07
Speaker 1: and said, I said, you know, Ashley has been sick
39:11
Speaker 1: and like she doesn't feel good. My mom goes, we'll
39:14
Speaker 1: look at the two of them. That baby is so
39:16
Speaker 1: full of hair right now, like like it's going to
39:19
Speaker 1: have a just a mane of hair when it comes.
39:21
Speaker 1: I've seen pictures of Jared when he was born. Actually
39:23
Speaker 1: I don't have I ever seen your pictures, but like
39:25
Speaker 1: that both had hair when it came out. Oh my god,
39:28
Speaker 1: Like that's our most alike as when we were born. Yeah,
39:32
Speaker 1: well like that first year. Oh my gosh, I don't
39:34
Speaker 1: think I look, my mom doesn't think we look that
39:36
Speaker 1: much alike. Now, yeah, we have similar features, but like
39:41
Speaker 1: it's not like, oh my god, twins. Well yeah, couple,
39:46
Speaker 1: you look very similar. Yeah you do. And so yeah,
39:49
Speaker 1: I'm sure that baby has a lot of hair right now.
39:51
Speaker 1: I'm sure. Well, I don't know if it actually does
39:53
Speaker 1: at this point. First time does not. It's like I
39:56
Speaker 1: don't even know if it has nails yet. I don't
39:58
Speaker 1: even think it has feet yet. It has feet, Jared,
40:02
Speaker 1: if we're gonna be able to fish up on Wednesday,
40:05
Speaker 1: that's not a stupid question. Jared that I would have
40:07
Speaker 1: kep thing. I thought I had hair at this point.
40:08
