Speaker 4: also did like age age, but your yours is very yeah,
1:10
Speaker 4: like it's a little rhyme.
1:12
Speaker 5: No, if they can't say my name, they just go g.
1:17
Speaker 2: GG or.
1:20
Speaker 4: I mean my brother's name was very similar. So right now,
1:23
Speaker 4: like his wife calls him g, Blake calls me G.
1:27
Speaker 4: So we both turn around at the same time. So
1:29
Speaker 4: you know, it's the never ending thing with my name.
1:33
Speaker 5: But yeah, you had your baby.
1:35
Speaker 3: Yes, it feels so good for him to be out
1:38
Speaker 3: of me, out and about home.
1:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's great. Wow.
1:43
Speaker 3: So you guys brought baby to Napa. We did, And
1:47
Speaker 3: did you also bring him to Italy? No, we haven't
1:51
Speaker 3: been to Italy yet.
1:52
Speaker 5: That wasn't me.
1:53
Speaker 3: I was just going based on the landscape. Have been
1:57
Speaker 3: taking you on plans though?
1:59
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, he's been, he's been coming out.
2:03
Speaker 5: I just.
2:05
Speaker 4: I'm not comparing my baby to my dog, but they're
2:08
Speaker 4: they're similar in the sense of like I took my
2:11
Speaker 4: puppy like right away, traveling with me like everywhere, right,
2:16
Speaker 4: and now they're amazing, right, Like they're just I mean,
2:18
Speaker 4: at least Georgia my dog, she's everyone's just amazed at
2:22
Speaker 4: how good she is on planes. And so I was like,
2:24
Speaker 4: I think this could apply. So with he, we've just
2:28
Speaker 4: been taking him whenever, whenever we can. He's been on
2:31
Speaker 4: four trips now and he's doing pretty well. And so
2:35
Speaker 4: I just I hope that somehow he it's like learned
2:38
Speaker 4: behavior and we're like conditioning him so that he he
2:41
Speaker 4: does well on planes for for a while.
2:43
Speaker 3: He likes six months now four and a half, four
2:46
Speaker 3: and a half. Okay, well, I don't want to bring
2:50
Speaker 3: it down, but no, later half of the first year
2:53
Speaker 3: in the planes start getting a little bit more difficult. Yeah,
2:56
Speaker 3: right now you feed him during takeoff. H huh full
2:59
Speaker 3: this it's great.
3:00
Speaker 2: Yeah.
3:02
Speaker 3: When they're a.
3:02
Speaker 2: Little more cognizant of the world around them, that the
3:07
Speaker 2: plans get difficult.
3:08
Speaker 3: But then they get easier again when they decide that
3:09
Speaker 3: they like snacks and iPads.
3:11
Speaker 4: Ah. Yeah, it's it's like this little roller coaster and
3:14
Speaker 4: it's all going to be all very interesting. But at
3:19
Speaker 4: least now we're able to bring him and he does
3:22
Speaker 4: you know, he he likes to be he's like made
3:25
Speaker 4: for the streets, Like he likes to go out, like
3:27
Speaker 4: he'll fall asleep and like you know, noisy restaurants. Yeah,
3:31
Speaker 4: and so we're just like, okay, like let's just kind
3:34
Speaker 4: of you know, nurture this. And I it makes it
3:37
Speaker 4: a lot easier for me too, because that way, like
3:40
Speaker 4: I'm not suffering without him.
3:41
Speaker 5: Like I can enjoy my time here.
3:44
Speaker 2: And that's exactly how I've always been.
3:47
Speaker 3: People who just stay home with their young ones, I'm like,
3:51
Speaker 3: I don't can't do that, right, I like to take
3:54
Speaker 3: them out and honestly, I feel like sometimes it's easier
3:58
Speaker 3: or maybe it's probably easier for me to lead to
4:00
Speaker 3: take them out because I just like Cavin fever will
4:04
Speaker 3: get to me. Yeah, it's like, yeah, it's physically kind
4:08
Speaker 3: of like sometimes hard to wrangle. Yeah, I get that,
4:11
Speaker 3: but I don't know.
4:12
Speaker 4: I want to live my life exactly, down to the
4:15
Speaker 4: house exactly, and like it's you know, making them a
4:18
Speaker 4: part of your life rather than like completely changing your
4:21
Speaker 4: life to you know, yeah, be be just their mom.
4:25
Speaker 5: So we're we're doing it. We are going to.
4:27
Speaker 4: Take him to Spain in two months, so we'll see
4:33
Speaker 4: how he does on a nine hour plane ride.
4:35
Speaker 2: Yea, yeah, that's a hard one.
4:37
Speaker 5: That's a hard one.
4:38
Speaker 4: Not too excited, but I'm excited for the trip, but
4:40
Speaker 4: not for the flight. Maybe a red eye is a
4:43
Speaker 4: good idea, the red eye. Yeah, and we're going to
4:45
Speaker 4: do stop in Miami first because if we do like
4:49
Speaker 4: from Denver, I mean, you know, anything from West coast,
4:52
Speaker 4: it's like ten plus hours, twelve hours.
4:55
Speaker 5: I can't do that.
4:56
Speaker 2: He can't do that.
4:57
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, I couldn't do that at all. I
4:58
Speaker 3: would absolutely all always stop on the East Coast before
5:02
Speaker 3: heading over to the Atlantic.
5:03
Speaker 2: Headed out for the Atlantic. All right, so you guys,
5:08
Speaker 2: I let's talk about parenting for a second.
5:11
Speaker 3: Where do you when when the heat does grow up
5:14
Speaker 3: a little bit? Who do you imagine being the disciplinarian?
5:17
Speaker 3: Do you find yourself not being able to say no
5:21
Speaker 3: or being sterned? Because that is my problem, Like I
5:25
Speaker 3: Dawson gets away with a lot, because even.
5:28
Speaker 2: When I'm like no, no, no, no, I'm never like no. Yeah,
5:34
Speaker 2: And Jared will be a little bit harder.
5:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, He'll be a little bit harder on him, and
5:41
Speaker 3: then sometimes we'll argue about how we handle those situations.
5:46
Speaker 2: So how do you see it?
5:48
Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like we should get on the same
5:50
Speaker 4: page with that as well. I I also think it's
5:54
Speaker 4: because they're boys, so like the dads can be harder
5:59
Speaker 4: on the boys. And like, I don't know me he
6:01
Speaker 4: has Heath has me wrapped it on his finger, like
6:05
Speaker 4: I think I've said no like a little sternly, like
6:08
Speaker 4: twice and like he looked at me like WHOA, Like
6:11
Speaker 4: I've I didn't think that was going to come out
6:13
Speaker 4: of you.
6:13
Speaker 5: And I'm like, well I.
6:14
Speaker 4: Also haven't slept, but there's that, But no, he I
6:17
Speaker 4: think Blake will definitely, at least with Heath, be the disciplinarian,
6:21
Speaker 4: and then if we end up having a girl, then
6:23
Speaker 4: like I could see me me being a little bit
6:25
Speaker 4: more stern with her. I don't know why. It's easier.
6:29
Speaker 5: Also, like Heath, like he's he's our first, so like
6:32
Speaker 5: I just no, like I don't want to say no
6:36
Speaker 5: to him. I don't want to. And he's such a
6:38
Speaker 5: sweet baby, like there he's just learning like I'm not.
6:41
Speaker 5: And this is how it goes.
6:42
Speaker 4: Definitely too young for this, you know, but in a year,
6:45
Speaker 4: in a year or I don't know, I don't know.
6:48
Speaker 4: I think I'll just well, we'll cross that bridge when wegether.
6:52
Speaker 4: But it's definitely turning out to be like Blake saying like, well,
6:57
Speaker 4: you know, one day you're gonna have to and I'm like,
6:59
Speaker 4: but I don't want to.
7:00
Speaker 2: Oh okay, so yeah, you guys are gonna be us.
7:03
Speaker 2: Yeah you can.
7:05
Speaker 3: You can foresee it based on how you guys disciplined
7:08
Speaker 3: the dog.
7:09
Speaker 4: Oh it's exactly how we were really. No, yeah, my
7:14
Speaker 4: dog's crazy. So we just are both kind of like
7:16
Speaker 4: Georgia stop.
7:18
Speaker 5: So I don't know.
7:21
Speaker 3: There was like times where Lois would have like she
7:24
Speaker 3: ate the christ like she ate lights off the Christmas
7:26
Speaker 3: tree and stuff. And he's the one that'll yell at her.
7:30
Speaker 3: And she doesn't know what she's doing. She's just a
7:33
Speaker 3: little girl, So don't yell at her.
7:35
Speaker 5: Please, No, you gotta rub her nose in a little
7:38
Speaker 5: bit exactly.
7:39
Speaker 2: I won't do it. I won't do I can't even
7:41
Speaker 2: do that, So I don't know.
7:43
Speaker 5: I think softy as I know.
7:56
Speaker 3: We were at dinner yesterday and I was telling Jared,
7:59
Speaker 3: I was like, I missed being like on The Bachelor.
8:02
Speaker 3: I missed the adrenaline rush of taping the show. Do
8:10
Speaker 3: you ever have that craving and do you?
8:13
Speaker 2: Yeah? You do?
8:15
Speaker 5: No?
8:15
Speaker 4: I mean I every single time, you know, projects come
8:19
Speaker 4: up and this, this and that we do I'm in
8:21
Speaker 4: front of the camera. I'm just like I love this shit,
8:23
Speaker 4: like it's like crack. I like it's it's great. It's
8:27
Speaker 4: like one of the best feelings in the world. And
8:30
Speaker 4: that's why I like, I won't I won't say no.
8:34
Speaker 5: I love it so much.
8:37
Speaker 2: I felt like we would be the same on that.
8:39
Speaker 5: Yeah you miss it?
8:41
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah.
8:42
Speaker 3: I was watching The Bachelorette this week and for some
8:45
Speaker 3: reason I had like a flashback of being in the
8:48
Speaker 3: interview room. I was like, I miss being in the
8:51
Speaker 3: interview room. I kind of miss being part of a
8:53
Speaker 3: little bit of drama.
8:55
Speaker 4: Yeah, because our lives right now is like, oh, we're
8:57
Speaker 4: in a happy relationship with kids, right, so just like
9:01
Speaker 4: it couldn't be any further from where we started on
9:04
Speaker 4: the shows. Yeah, I mean we did the show so
9:06
Speaker 4: that we could be here right essentially.
9:09
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, so I don't want to actually go back,
9:14
Speaker 3: but I would like to like go in a time
9:16
Speaker 3: machine and be back for a couple hours.
9:19
Speaker 4: Right right, right, and just like savor it kind of
9:21
Speaker 4: make a little bit more drama. No, I want to
9:25
Speaker 4: just keep doing TV like I miss it, like if anything,
9:29
Speaker 4: but now having a kid, I'm like, okay, but how
9:33
Speaker 4: would I act and like would I censor myself or how?
9:38
Speaker 2: I don't know.
9:38
Speaker 4: I feel like that would be that would be something
9:40
Speaker 4: I said, Yeah, how would you be different?
9:48
Speaker 2: I don't know.
9:49
Speaker 4: I just depends on the show, right, Like if it's
9:52
Speaker 4: like a challenge show, I don't really care. Right, it's
9:56
Speaker 4: a challenge show, like that's that's just very different if
9:59
Speaker 4: it's a show. But like let's say, like our lives
10:01
Speaker 4: are involved or anything like that. Yeah, I mean that's
10:04
Speaker 4: a fine line. I don't I ask myself all the time.
10:07
Speaker 4: I'm like, I don't know how like these Kardashians are
10:10
Speaker 4: doing it. I guess just because they when they they
10:14
Speaker 4: all go to therapy, they all have like all the
10:15
Speaker 4: security in the world, you know, all this stuff, so
10:17
Speaker 4: that they feel I guess secure in that sense. But
10:21
Speaker 4: if you're not, if you haven't been on a TV
10:23
Speaker 4: show for the past fifteen years, that's hard. It's hard
10:27
Speaker 4: to like just shove your your personal life in there again,
10:31
Speaker 4: and like with so much to lose.
10:33
Speaker 5: That's it's a hard it's hard.
10:35
Speaker 4: I mean, not that we're doing anything like that, but
10:38
Speaker 4: it's always it's always fun to think about, Like, well,
10:40
Speaker 4: I would definitely do TV again, one hundred percent, but.
10:44
Speaker 5: It would have to be like a tutor or like Traders.
10:48
Speaker 3: Like the Traders, I understood exactly what you're talking about
10:51
Speaker 3: because it takes place in a tutor.
10:52
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, it's like the same thing. But yeah, what
10:56
Speaker 5: about you. Do you ever see yourself going back there.
11:00
Speaker 3: I don't know what it would be, right, but I would, yes,
11:03
Speaker 3: but yes, I would always be excited about the opportunity,
11:06
Speaker 3: and you're right, it probably is more appropriate for it
11:09
Speaker 3: to be more of a challenge show. I would love
11:12
Speaker 3: them to do Bachelor meets Amazing Race or something like that,
11:17
Speaker 3: and I would love it. I just don't understand why
11:19
Speaker 3: they haven't done that with the couples.
11:22
Speaker 5: They haven't done anything with couples.
11:24
Speaker 3: It doesn't make any sense. Just utilize what you have
11:28
Speaker 3: in the couples because people based on Instagram.
11:31
Speaker 2: Following are even more.
11:33
Speaker 3: Interested in the couple's lives than the singles lives.
11:36
Speaker 5: Yeah, and like, I know, it's such low.
11:41
Speaker 2: And they can they could do it.
11:43
Speaker 5: Why haven't they done anything like that?
11:45
Speaker 2: I don't know that talked well, I've already kind of
11:48
Speaker 2: like talked to them.
11:49
Speaker 5: Why not all the pitches, all the things like do
11:52
Speaker 5: you know what you have? Like it's what is it?
11:55
Speaker 5: It's like silver platter?
11:56
Speaker 2: Come on, dig it exactly?
11:58
Speaker 4: Yeah.
11:59
Speaker 3: Do you and Blake compare your show experiences between Love
12:04
Speaker 3: Is Blind and The Bachelor, Like the behind the scenes
12:06
Speaker 3: like oh we did this or we did that, or
12:08
Speaker 3: that brings you back to that moment, or those producers
12:12
Speaker 3: and my friendships with them.
12:14
Speaker 5: All the time.
12:15
Speaker 4: I mean, I think it's it's really nice too, to
12:18
Speaker 4: have someone to talk to about it.
12:20
Speaker 5: With, because I mean, if I was like with a wildling.
12:24
Speaker 4: It would be which is what we call people that
12:27
Speaker 4: haven't been on shows.
12:29
Speaker 3: I was.
12:32
Speaker 5: Wild Wait wildling, you know, like on Game with.
12:36
Speaker 2: Okay I watched Okay.
12:39
Speaker 4: Sorry, Well that's what me and Blake you know say,
12:43
Speaker 4: if someone hasn't been on a show.
12:45
Speaker 5: Then it would be really hard to relate.
12:48
Speaker 4: Or you know, talk, be able to like express like
12:51
Speaker 4: certain traumas or this or that. And so anyway, whenever
12:55
Speaker 4: a show comes on, like we watched Perfect Match the
12:57
Speaker 4: other time or the other day, and one of us
13:00
Speaker 4: have obviously been on it, and so it was really
13:02
Speaker 4: like an objective one to watch without feeling so triggered.
13:05
Speaker 2: Same production company.
13:06
Speaker 4: Same production company, Kinetic Content. Yeah, and then you know
13:09
Speaker 4: we just kind of sit there and pick it apart.
13:11
Speaker 4: We're like, whoa, that was like such like a frank
13:13
Speaker 4: and bite or like they totally edited that together. Wow,
13:16
Speaker 4: that's so unfair that they you know, showed that facial
13:19
Speaker 4: expression with that voiceover like that wasn't And then you
13:22
Speaker 4: know we also have I mean, we think Perfect Match
13:24
Speaker 4: would have been like super fun to do, and we're like, wow,
13:26
Speaker 4: that's so that's so different, Like I would love to
13:30
Speaker 4: do a show like that, and it's just fun. There's
13:32
Speaker 4: so many comparisons and so many I mean reality TV
13:36
Speaker 4: is all you know, technically like the same plot, but
13:42
Speaker 4: I mean Bachelor and Love is blind.
13:43
Speaker 5: At least my.
13:44
Speaker 4: Season was very different than Lake season and how everything
13:49
Speaker 4: you know, producers and people were handling.
13:52
Speaker 3: Well wait, how so because they more hands off with
13:56
Speaker 3: you guys, it seems to.
14:00
Speaker 5: Be more hands off.
14:01
Speaker 4: I think I got a producer that was just like
14:04
Speaker 4: she's doing it on her own, let her create her
14:07
Speaker 4: own drama, and then she would just kind of wrangle
14:09
Speaker 4: me back versus like trying to create things to get
14:12
Speaker 4: me triggered. Like my my partner was already doing that
14:16
Speaker 4: for me. So I didn't. I didn't get you know,
14:19
Speaker 4: so much manhandled. But and also the first season, so
14:25
Speaker 4: a lot of a lot of things were still really unknown,
14:28
Speaker 4: and I think everyone was just trying to like gain
14:30
Speaker 4: each other's trust versus like you know, the Bachelor's already
14:34
Speaker 4: like cooked delivered, like everyone already knows the formula. How
14:37
Speaker 4: to you know, talk to this person, how to talk
14:39
Speaker 4: to that person?
14:41
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I.
14:42
Speaker 4: Was I was very much hands off. I mean as
14:46
Speaker 4: much as you know they were allowed to because I
14:48
Speaker 4: was already just spiraling on my own.
14:51
Speaker 5: Just doing it all for them.
14:54
Speaker 3: Now I know that like didn't have the greatest sign
14:58
Speaker 3: off from the Batchel or franchise. But do you guys
15:01
Speaker 3: ever like play with each other, Like my original show
15:04
Speaker 3: is better than yours.
15:05
Speaker 5: All the time, all the time.
15:09
Speaker 2: So what's what material do you have? What is it?
15:13
Speaker 3: What do you say yours is better for? And what's
15:15
Speaker 3: his better? What does he say his is better for?
15:18
Speaker 4: His is better for Let's see, Oh the trips you
15:24
Speaker 4: guys have, like the the budget and the trips and
15:27
Speaker 4: everything's just like very glitz and glam as you know,
15:30
Speaker 4: as much as having thirty five people can be.
15:36
Speaker 5: And ours is better for I think.
15:38
Speaker 2: Like you have cubbies, Yeah.
15:40
Speaker 5: We have we have a lounge, we have a chair.
15:43
Speaker 5: This is it. This is love is blind. Just turn
15:46
Speaker 5: the camera off.
15:48
Speaker 4: And ours is really good for I like to say,
15:51
Speaker 4: it's just really great for actually finding like because in
15:56
Speaker 4: love is blind, if you find that person in the
15:58
Speaker 4: pods and you find them in attractive in person.
16:02
Speaker 5: You hit the jackpot, Like that is your soulmate, Like
16:05
Speaker 5: they have a very very good ratio, and so I
16:09
Speaker 5: like that.
16:09
Speaker 4: And also at the end of the day when someone
16:11
Speaker 4: walks up up to us and they're like, they either
16:14
Speaker 4: want a picture from Blake or from me or sometimes both,
16:18
Speaker 4: you know, and you know, we just kind of like
16:20
Speaker 4: always shove at each other's faces, like, haha, she liked
16:23
Speaker 4: me better, like she didn't really like you.
16:25
Speaker 5: So we just we have fun. We have fun with it,
16:27
Speaker 5: and it's it's definitely yeah, it's a it's a little
16:31
Speaker 5: like inside inside.
16:32
Speaker 2: Game we play. You've forgotten.
16:35
Speaker 3: Somebody goes up and says like, can I get a
16:37
Speaker 3: picture with you?
16:37
Speaker 2: And they meant for Blake, and then you're like trying
16:40
Speaker 2: to get the picture, Oh not me.
16:44
Speaker 5: Or sometimes I'm just like I'll take it, like I'll
16:46
Speaker 5: take it and they don't know who I am, and
16:48
Speaker 5: then later on they'll DM him and be like, oh
16:51
Speaker 5: my god, I didn't know that was our I should
16:53
Speaker 5: have taken a picture with him. I'm like, it's okay,
16:55
Speaker 5: I got you. You got a good angle. I'll always offer, Well,
17:00
Speaker 5: you and Blake are not engaged.
17:04
Speaker 2: You've been together for how long?
17:06
Speaker 5: Almost three years?
17:07
Speaker 2: Okay, do you do you want to get engaged?
17:10
Speaker 4: I would love to be engaged, Okay, some at some point,
17:16
Speaker 4: I just didn't put any pressure on it from for
17:22
Speaker 4: for like even the beginning of the relationship, because I
17:25
Speaker 4: knew it was.
17:26
Speaker 5: Going to happen or I know it's going to happen
17:28
Speaker 5: at some point.
17:29
Speaker 2: Yeah.
17:30
Speaker 4: I just it always felt very like we we had
17:33
Speaker 4: you know, baby names picked out, like by their second
17:35
Speaker 4: month that we were together, like we had I told
17:38
Speaker 4: him my wedding like the wedding destination location that I've
17:41
Speaker 4: always wanted, like right away. You know, it was very
17:44
Speaker 4: much like we knew, we know that this is going
17:47
Speaker 4: to happen at some point. And then we got pregnant,
17:49
Speaker 4: and I was like, okay, well, let's just take this
17:52
Speaker 4: one step out of time. I didn't want to feel overwhelmed.
17:57
Speaker 4: And now I just he's like, okay, well, so you know,
18:02
Speaker 4: you know, do you want to have like get married
18:04
Speaker 4: before we have another kid or I'm like, let's just
18:06
Speaker 4: keep having kids, like, let's just keep having babies.
18:08
Speaker 5: I don't really care.
18:10
Speaker 4: So I've I feel good about that because I've just
18:13
Speaker 4: taken all the pressure off. And so whenever he wants to,
18:19
Speaker 4: he will, and that's our journey. That's when it's meant
18:23
Speaker 4: to be, and it'll be It'll be beautiful. We'll however,
18:26
Speaker 4: maybe Heath will be there. Everything will just kind of
18:31
Speaker 4: feel complete. I think at that point, I don't know,
18:34
Speaker 4: I uh, part of me. For part of the reason
18:37
Speaker 4: why I just kind of like let go is because
18:40
Speaker 4: I went through Love is Blind, and because there was
18:43
Speaker 4: so much pressure to go to the altar, to get married,
18:47
Speaker 4: to do this, to do that I did. I don't
18:49
Speaker 4: want to feel even an inch of that because it,
18:54
Speaker 4: you know, and it didn't end up well for me.
18:59
Speaker 4: So I really just want to let this, you know,
19:02
Speaker 4: take its own natural course. And and yeah, I think
19:07
Speaker 4: you love his blind.
19:08
Speaker 3: So in that case, do you expect a surprise engagement
19:12
Speaker 3: or do you think it's gonna be one of those
19:13
Speaker 3: things where it's like I'll go pick out a ring
19:16
Speaker 3: with you, we'll do a courthouse situation, like what do
19:20
Speaker 3: you what are you thinking? Like do you want a
19:23
Speaker 3: dream proposal?
19:24
Speaker 5: I want a dream proposal. I want it to be
19:27
Speaker 5: like totally off the cuff.
19:29
Speaker 4: I don't know what's happening because I again Love is Blind.
19:32
Speaker 4: I knew the hour, the minute, the day that it
19:35
Speaker 4: was gonna happen, like all of this, So I just
19:38
Speaker 4: want it to be like totally surprised. He doesn't want
19:42
Speaker 4: me to go pick out rings with him. He he
19:45
Speaker 4: already asked me like, he's like, what.
19:47
Speaker 5: Do you want?
19:48
Speaker 4: And I'm like, okay, well I think this is pretty,
19:51
Speaker 4: and you know, I wear a lot of jewelry, so
19:52
Speaker 4: he has an idea of what I like and all
19:55
Speaker 4: that stuff. But nope, he doesn't want me to know
19:58
Speaker 4: and he doesn't he doesn't want I want to let it. Yeah,
20:01
Speaker 4: he doesn't want to plan it or he doesn't want
20:03
Speaker 4: me to be in what you plan? Uh huh, which
20:05
Speaker 4: additional surprise engagement.
20:09
Speaker 5: So I don't know.
20:10
Speaker 2: See when it happens.
20:12
Speaker 3: I feel like it'll happen soon. Maybe you can do
20:15
Speaker 3: a great job. Yeah, I mean I know he'll do
20:17
Speaker 3: a great job.
20:18
Speaker 4: He's very romantic, Blake has Yeah, Blake does a really
20:21
Speaker 4: lovely romantic gesture.
20:24
Speaker 5: And he knows, he knows me, he knows, he knows
20:26
Speaker 5: how picky I can be. So it's gonna be a
20:30
Speaker 5: good one.
20:32
Speaker 2: How do you deal with being a mom.
20:36
Speaker 3: And having him travel so often for his DJ gigs?
20:40
Speaker 3: That's gotta be hard you home alone with a baby.
20:44
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was definitely like the if not the first
20:48
Speaker 4: thing that came into my mind when we found out
20:50
Speaker 4: we were pregnant.
20:51
Speaker 5: I was like, okay, like, how am I gonna do this?
20:53
Speaker 4: My family's in Florida, your family, like you know, Momve
20:56
Speaker 4: was looking an hour away, and at the end of
20:58
Speaker 4: the day like, you're my partner in this and I've
21:02
Speaker 4: you know, I kept dating him knowing that this was
21:04
Speaker 4: going to be a part like his lifestyle for hopefully
21:08
Speaker 4: a very very long time, so I was always prepared,
21:11
Speaker 4: just not I just wasn't expecting it.
21:13
Speaker 2: To be so soon.
21:16
Speaker 4: But we do have a live and off pir which
21:20
Speaker 4: is like, think you Jesus.
21:24
Speaker 3: I love her, she doesn't live here, but I just
21:27
Speaker 3: I couldn't get anything done. No, I think often truthfully
21:32
Speaker 3: when I don't have her here and it's just me,
21:36
Speaker 3: my brain, my Keith doesn't They don't get brushed until
21:39
Speaker 3: mid afternoon.
21:40
Speaker 4: Right You're just like, how how can I And you know,
21:42
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, it's like it's like
21:44
Speaker 4: having your mom being there, like your sister or your
21:47
Speaker 4: cousin or some like someone that you trust, like it
21:49
Speaker 4: does take a village and and you know, right now,
21:52
Speaker 4: everyone has their own lives and needs to pay their
21:54
Speaker 4: own rent.
21:55
Speaker 5: So I brought in help.
21:56
Speaker 4: And I am so so happy that I like I
22:01
Speaker 4: because I'm not someone that really asks for help.
22:04
Speaker 5: And this wasn't about me. It was about like.
22:07
Speaker 4: The health of my family. And it's just been like
22:10
Speaker 4: the best thing that we ever did. Like Blake and
22:12
Speaker 4: I are in a very happy place. The baby's in
22:15
Speaker 4: a very happy place.
22:16
Speaker 2: Like I.
22:17
Speaker 4: Even though I don't sleep like I at least can
22:20
Speaker 4: have like my skincare routine, you know exactly, and just like.
22:24
Speaker 3: That's what's right before I got on here, she got
22:30
Speaker 3: went home sick today and I was like, Okay, I
22:34
Speaker 3: have ten minutes to brush my teeth and wash my
22:37
Speaker 3: face and do and I'll.
22:39
Speaker 2: Put the seer rooms on throughout my episode.
22:43
Speaker 3: That makes me like that makes me feel good about myself,
22:46
Speaker 3: because when I don't do that, it's just I feel
22:50
Speaker 3: like I can't go and tackle the day.
22:51
Speaker 5: Mm hmm.
22:52
Speaker 2: Same.
22:52
Speaker 4: I at least have my skincare routine, and even if
22:55
Speaker 4: like my hair is.
22:57
Speaker 5: And that's it.
22:58
Speaker 4: That's all I ask for. And she she helps me
23:01
Speaker 4: do that. She helps me, she helps me work. I'd
23:03
Speaker 4: never took a day off like I.
23:06
Speaker 2: I I took a week.
23:09
Speaker 4: Right exactly, Like I got overwhelmed after I didn't take
23:11
Speaker 4: a day off and I was like, Okay, let me
23:12
Speaker 4: just take a couple of days, like a week, and
23:14
Speaker 4: then let me just go back at it. And it's
23:18
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, like we're working for
23:21
Speaker 4: for them, you know, so that they can have good
23:24
Speaker 4: lives and for sure, and if you need help, ask.
23:28
Speaker 5: For it, and you're gonna think yourself.
23:30
Speaker 2: I totally agree.
23:32
Speaker 5: Yeah, but the Internet makes you feel like stupid for.
23:35
Speaker 2: Doing it and I just needing for needing help.
23:40
Speaker 4: Because I've said it openly a couple of times, and
23:43
Speaker 4: the Internet is just you know, it's always fifty to fifty.
23:45
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna like you know.
23:48
Speaker 5: You mean, like your d your the dms, the comments,
23:51
Speaker 5: they're like, but you have a nanny, like you should
23:53
Speaker 5: be able to and I'm like, but.
23:55
Speaker 2: But with my nanny, I still get by. I get
23:57
Speaker 2: by with her. I wouldn't all.
24:00
Speaker 3: It's like I'm still non stop all day long. I
24:06
Speaker 3: get maybe forty five minutes to.
24:08
Speaker 2: Watch TV in bed.
24:09
Speaker 5: Right, Well you have two now, yeah, that's yeah, how's
24:13
Speaker 5: it going.
24:13
Speaker 3: We were getting it down, pat, We were getting it
24:15
Speaker 3: down pat as like you know, and now and now
24:19
Speaker 3: we've added a new element because now when Dawson goes
24:21
Speaker 3: to bed, that's when the witching hour with Hayden will start.
24:24
Speaker 2: So that has like eliminated all me time.
24:27
Speaker 3: Ugh, It's it's really been not that as difficult as
24:34
Speaker 3: I thought thus far. But he is still in that
24:38
Speaker 3: like sleeping twenty four to seven mode. So ask me
24:42
Speaker 3: in a few months when he's become a little bit
24:44
Speaker 3: more awake to the world. Yeah, wow, you have like
24:48
Speaker 3: a new little I know, it's so cute. And that's
24:51
Speaker 3: the thing, like we were saying last night, when you
24:55
Speaker 3: have your first I think, like it's kind of exciting
24:59
Speaker 3: to see them grow up and you know, just like
25:03
Speaker 3: learn new things. But then I think with the second,
25:05
Speaker 3: or at least for us, the last, then you're like, oh,
25:10
Speaker 3: this is the last time we're going to have a newborn,
25:12
Speaker 3: Like I only have four weeks left of having a newborn,
25:16
Speaker 3: and like this is the last every like milestone will
25:19
Speaker 3: be the last time you experience that, right, So that
25:22
Speaker 3: that is probably going to be a little bit more
25:23
Speaker 3: like melancholy.
25:25
Speaker 5: R oh, but you get to do it all over again.
25:28
Speaker 3: No, I'm not going to do it again after this, Yeah,
25:31
Speaker 3: this is it after this, but yeah the first time,
25:33
Speaker 3: you're like, oh, I'm going to be able to do
25:35
Speaker 3: it all over again.
25:37
Speaker 5: Oh, and they're going to be They're going to be
25:38
Speaker 5: best friends at some point, so yeah.
25:40
Speaker 3: I think they're already kind of best Well, Dawson thinks
25:43
Speaker 3: that Hayden is his best friend, but Hayden's like, can
25:45
Speaker 3: you please be quiet?
25:46
Speaker 2: He's like, let me chill out. Oh, he's obsessed, that's
25:50
Speaker 2: all day.
25:51
Speaker 3: He has like these moments throughout the day when he
25:54
Speaker 3: goes up to him and he yeah, he's like, and
25:58
Speaker 3: then like when he doesn't see him, where baby go?
26:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, baby go?
26:02
Speaker 3: Be so cute every morning he asks where he is
26:06
Speaker 3: and it's adorable.
26:07
Speaker 2: That's he's right there, he's in his bed. Oh let
26:11
Speaker 2: me see. He was so cute.
26:12
Speaker 5: That's the best. And you're like, I made that.
26:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know how I made it. Still it's
26:17
Speaker 3: still like you ever look at them and you're just
26:19
Speaker 3: mind boggled by the fact that like that's half of you,
26:22
Speaker 3: like does not compute so often?
26:24
Speaker 4: No, And if I didn't have like the videos and
26:27
Speaker 4: like the memory to prove it, I wouldn't even know.
26:30
Speaker 5: I'd be like I did that? How Yeah, how is
26:33
Speaker 5: that even possible?
26:35
Speaker 2: So props so very surreal.
26:37
Speaker 4: Mmmmmmm, props to you, Props to women out there, because
26:40
Speaker 4: it's it's different, it's very it's a completely like outer
26:46
Speaker 4: body experience.
26:47
Speaker 3: I don't know how my mom did it being a
26:49
Speaker 3: mom or giving birth, all of.
26:51
Speaker 4: It, just like you know, and then like and then
26:54
Speaker 4: you grow up and then like you're such like a
26:55
Speaker 4: shit to your mom or your parents and you're like,
26:58
Speaker 4: how did they do it? Because right now, if he
27:00
Speaker 4: turns away, if I'm gonna give him a kiss, I cry.
27:05
Speaker 5: So I was just like, I don't know, I'm gonna
27:07
Speaker 5: do this for this in my life. I'm gonna just,
27:08
Speaker 5: you know, collapse.
27:10
Speaker 2: I don't know. No, I totally.
27:13
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, thank you so much for coming on before
27:17
Speaker 3: I let you go. Is it weird like for weekends
27:21
Speaker 3: like this or weeks like this where you like go
27:23
Speaker 3: and hang out with a whole bunch of Bachelor Nation,
27:26
Speaker 3: does it feel like you're part of the crew or
27:29
Speaker 3: do you feel like an outsider? And do they happen
27:32
Speaker 3: vice versa.
27:33
Speaker 2: With Blake and love is Blind peeps, right?
27:35
Speaker 5: I think it's definitely yes. To both.
27:38
Speaker 4: I've been to, you know, a couple of these get togethers,
27:43
Speaker 4: and when you guys talk about like, I don't know,
27:46
Speaker 4: like the mansion or the producers that you all know
27:49
Speaker 4: or things like that, I'm just like, huh, yeah, you know,
27:52
Speaker 4: like I don't relate.
27:54
Speaker 3: It's like going to a high school get together with
27:58
Speaker 3: your spouse or you're about that another exactly.
28:01
Speaker 4: But as far as like feel like an outsider all
28:05
Speaker 4: the time, no, because when I this is actually really
28:07
Speaker 4: nice for me because I didn't have like a group
28:11
Speaker 4: really from Love is Blind. It's we've filmed and then
28:15
Speaker 4: everyone kind of went their separate ways, and then COVID happened,
28:17
Speaker 4: and so and so I never really got that camaradity
28:20
Speaker 4: of like, oh you you went through this too, you know,
28:24
Speaker 4: And so I every time I, you know, get together
28:27
Speaker 4: with a couple of reality TV people, I just feel
28:29
Speaker 4: instantly like connected because we've all been through something like
28:34
Speaker 4: this and we're all living differently and and that's super nice.
28:39
Speaker 4: But then he finally got a taste of it when
28:41
Speaker 4: he came to the Love is Blind season six reunion,
28:44
Speaker 4: and he was a little bit of a fish out
28:47
Speaker 4: of the water, and you know, you kind of see
28:50
Speaker 4: him just kind of.
28:50
Speaker 5: Like, oh, like this is what she was talking about. Oh,
28:53
Speaker 5: this is who that is. And I was a, ah,
28:56
Speaker 5: you feel it now, don't you? So it's yeah.
29:00
Speaker 2: But you're right.
29:01
Speaker 3: Love is Blind is a little bit less of a
29:03
Speaker 3: group show. M right, you're a little bit more secluded.
29:06
Speaker 4: Well now it now it is more just because you're you.
29:10
Speaker 4: We're up to what season seven almost is about.
29:13
Speaker 2: To come out. So like all the seasons together, a socialize.
29:16
Speaker 4: Exactly, and I know I didn't have that for the
29:19
Speaker 4: longest time. So now it's starting to be more of
29:23
Speaker 4: like a yeah, like your own little I mean, I
29:25
Speaker 4: would say Bachelor Nations quin.
29:27
Speaker 3: Family exactly, the pod squad.
29:32
Speaker 5: What we used to call it.
29:33
Speaker 4: Yeah, and so it's definitely yeah, it's same but different, same,
29:39
Speaker 4: same but different.
29:40
Speaker 5: Everyone's super nice though that I've met, which is great. Yeah,
