• 1:23
  Speaker 3: All right, how are you feeling. How's the entire thing been?
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, So I'm feeling totally good.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: I mean everything starting off, pregnancy is like than the
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: number one scariest thing to me.
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: I've never been more scared of anything in my life
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: than pregnant. That was me.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Okay, I was terrified and then it was as awful
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: as I thought it was.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: But I was particularly scared about birth, Like that was
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: my number one fear. And everybody has a different story
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: and experience, but like, my my encouragement to you is
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: that it's that's not as scary as you think it's
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: going to be.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: And that's honestly, I'm more scared. I was more scared
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: about pregnancy, and then I'm just kind of like the
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: mindset of like what goes in must come out, So
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: I was like, what it is, Yeah, the birth part,
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: So just pregnancy is what I was most scared of.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: So finally me and my husband like talked about it.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: He wanted to get pregnant way before I did, but
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: I finally was like, Okay, I feel.
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: Like it's time.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: So we decided to do it, and ever since then,
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: I've had the best experience. I mean, I was scared
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: about my skin because we had talked before, like our
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: lackdown from before, and I was like so scared because
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: I had to get off of it before we even
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: started trying and all of that. But fingers crossed, knock
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: on wood, everything has been so good and I feel
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: like I'm just like this weird chameleon like everything. I
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: work out five times a week, Like, I've had a
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: little bit of this thing called round ligament pain, but
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: kind of normal with everyone, so I haven't. My skin's
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: been primarily totally fine. So I've really just been extremely blessed.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: And I'm not take this for granted because this is
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: probably I don't know if this is normal.
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: So I don't know. I'm just hoping.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: I'm not in my third trimester yet, so you know,
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: things to get crazy, but right now, everything's okay.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, USh, I'm really happy for you that it, like
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: specifically because you weren't scared. I mean, because because you
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: were so scared and it just turned out to be
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: not that scary.
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: I'm scared.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: What were you for?
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: What specifically were you scared of, like if it was
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: not just your skin, but beyond that, So beyond that.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: I think i'm really uh internally, like I work out
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: a lot, and I'm really I'm really like health focused
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: and I work a lot about just being like not.
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: Being able to move and being a Yeah.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: Also, I don't think people some everyone's different, but the
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: weight in is very gradual, and for some reason, I
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: just thought that I was immediately going to gain all
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: of this weight and not recognize myself and feel crazy
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: and not be able to like be as mobile as
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: I wanted. But I think just everyone's different, but me
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: being able to still work out and feel like myself
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: has been helped me a ton. So I was just
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: kind of scared of just everything changing at once and
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: me not feeling like myself and being in pain and
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: throwing up and my skin going crazy and just feeling
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: like nuts for nine months.
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: But I think that.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: Now I'm going through it, it's so gradual change, it's
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: not all at once, just for me specific, Yeah, I
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: was just just terrified.
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: I'm not a good person with change.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: So I was extremely terrified of just the change of
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: pregnancy and all of the body craziness that comes with.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: It, but also just I don't know.
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: I was also really.
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: Scared of just like my baby being like healthy and safe,
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: because that's something I don't really talk about much, is
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: like every milestone, you get all these updates, and it's
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: scary because you're not in control, so you never know.
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: But it's just a lot. I'll think all of it
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: was just scary, all of it.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, as somebody who did have an awful pregnancy, but
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: I have I have encouraging words for anybody out there
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: in the midst of a pregnancy or thinking about going
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: through it. Even if you're like me, where it's nine
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: months of misery and you do lose yourself for nine months,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: you will come back.
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: I was so scared that I'd be like, am I
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: ever like feel pretty again?
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: And you feel pretty before you know it.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: That's so good. That's so I mean, everyone's not. It's
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: just so wild how you can have completely different experience.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: Everyone is so different, every presence, everybody, everyone, It's just
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: it could be you know, you're you're miserable for nine months,
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: you know, like you're throwing up all the time.
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: I feel like, so that just sucks.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: On a personal note, lots of people ask me about
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Sporona lactone right now or like all the time actually
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: in my DMS, because iways talking about my acting and
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: how that I think is like the number one band
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: aid for it I have. I've been off of it
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: for four months now, and I've been very pleasantly surprised
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: that I also haven't broken out from the withdrawal. Yeah,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: so just like you and not celebrating some clear skin.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: I think it's something.
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: It's something to give herselfs some classic and the Lord's drug.
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: It really is. It's incredible, like changed the game for me.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: So when I and I experienced it, I was like,
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: this is this is incredible And then it was so scary.
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: I was so scared.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: I know, like, everything's good so far. I can't wait
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: to get back on it after the feeding. But yeah,
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: so far it's been fine.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: But that's good.
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: I'm so happy that you've been cool too.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: That's yeah.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know who knows what it is, but I'm
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: happy that it's clear right now. Okay, So fred Is
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: seems on Instagram to be like such a supportive, wonderful,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: sweet soul husband. Is he as wonderful as he seems
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: on Instagram with your pregnancy and taking care of you
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: and all that.
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, No, he actually is.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: He's like he's this He's an incredible human being. And
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: even more so I get to say that because he's
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: my husband and he's never wanted anything more than to
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: be a dad and I did not experience that until I.
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: Never wanted to be a mom until like literally this year.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: So he is like, help, yeah, we got to dive
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: into this.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so he is like helps me be like happy
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: and excited and not scared. But he is so excited.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: This is like he's never wanted anything more in his
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: life than to be a dad. So he is like
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: counting down the days. I could not have like lucked
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: out with the most supportive partner through this, especially being
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: someone that's scared of pregnancy. So I'm so lucky and
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: he's so excited.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: So that is so so sweet.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: So I always knew I wanted to be a mom,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: but I never had what I would call baby fever,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Like what even when I was like thirty three and
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: I was like Okay, that's probably about the time that
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: we like because I got prignant when I was thirty three. Yeah,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: it's like, yeah, okay, we're trying, but it's not like
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: like I could still deal without it for right now,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Like I love my life, Like I'm so sick scared
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: of this change and responsibility. So I guess I know
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: what you feel when you say that, like you didn't
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: want to be mommy.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: I wanted to be a mom but like but it
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: was just so intimidating. So is that how you felt?
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Is that what you mean?
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: And like I always knew I wanted a family. I
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: like grew up in Alabama, so like it's very like
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: just like get pregnant, have babies, get pregnant, have babies,
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: get married.
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: And I just kind of broke out of that cycle
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: a bit.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: And when I put out of it, it was almost like
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: a rebel of like no, like I'm not going to
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: settle down, I'm not going to have kids. But then
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: I meet my husband, and of course you when you
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: fall in love with someone, all you want to do is,
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: you know, make something beautiful together. So thinking of that
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: in that aspect of something that's going to add to
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: my life and not take away and like bog me down.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: You know, it's just a complete shift of mindset when
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: I did it the way that I think I was
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: supposed to do it, because before then I was just like,
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: oh my gosh, like I just don't want to have kids,
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: to have kids and to settle down just because it's
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: what you're supposed to do. But when I finally found
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: that that's what I that's the trajectory by how my
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: life was going, and it this is what was making
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: me happy and just the.
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: Thought of making something with him, and it's just now
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: it like.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: Brings tears in my eyes, Like I I am so
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: excited to be a mom and like have a baby
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: and a best friend and like someone just like it's
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: just like incredible. But what you know, also what my
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: body's doing right now is just incredible. So it's just
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: funny how you go from one mindset and then as
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: soon as you soon as I decided like okay, no,
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: like I'm ready, like I want to do this complete
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: complete shift of your mindset, so you know, yeah, and
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: also just not like change like I'm so used to
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: just like getting up and doing what I want and
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: being so bigy. Yeah, the complete life change. You have
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: to be ready for that, and I take it very seriously.
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: I think that's why I waited.
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: Until I was fully ready, so that I could not
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: have fear and be excited and not worried.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: You know, yes, yes.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: What is one thing that people say to you, whether
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: it's a comment or a question about pregnancy or motherhood,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: that just like gets under your skin.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: That happened to me often for some reason.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: I think whenever I talk about, like, you know, the
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: newborn minds, and they're just like, oh, man, get Freddie,
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: You're gonna oh, just like kind of like I'm just like, okay,
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: Like I know it's gonna be hard, but let's you know,
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: instead of going that route like tell me the positives
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: about how it's only eight weeks and like you need
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: to cherish these eight weeks of this your baby being
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: that tiny, and not so much about like you're never
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: gonna sleep, you're never gonna see your partner, you're never
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: gonna get like all these negatives. That's truly scary. And
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: I know I'm gonna go through those things, which is fine.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: I'm I'm a realist, but also like, maybe let's not
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: make it as negative, and I don't know.
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: Just when they say that.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: I'm like, I know totally, I'm totally ready for all
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: those hardships, but also I'm also going to be able
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: to be with my you know, eight week old baby,
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: and then after that, they're not like newborns anymore. So
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: I try to think of it like that, but that's
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: always like kind of scary when people really talking about
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: that born stage and how you're going to like be
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: a zombie.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: I don't know, but let me just tell you something.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: I love the newborn phase to me, And yes, I
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: think I was different. Like you're saying that you're pregnancy
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: eas easy, well I thought I think perhaps my postpartum
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: was easy because I realized that like, yeah, I was
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: sore as hell, like I couldn't like first, like are
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: you kidding me? For like a couple of weeks I could,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: like I could not walk around the house. But I
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: don't remember that. I just remember how honestly, yeah, he
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: would wake up every couple hours, but like then you
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: have an easy fix. You feed them and it's like
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: all right now, like in the toddler years, they're freaking
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: out and you don't know why because they're trying to
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: communicate and they can't do it effectively. So I just
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: that the new and days were amazing because all you
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: got to do is like lie around and snuggle. Like,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: does lying around and snugglings sound bad?
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: No, Like I'm excited for that.
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: Of course, I'm nervous because there's a whole these challenges
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: of breastfeeding, and that's another scarity. Yeah, will come to
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: me about and they're like, oh, breastfeeding and you need
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: to and I'm like, I know, I've heard it's really scary,
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: like just yeah, so I just but I know I've
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: totally cherished as moments of just like being alone with
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: your baby and just not having to really like do anything,
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: of being kind of just in your house with your
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: husband and they're not you know, so.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: It's the best.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: See I didn't breastfeed, which is probably why that part
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: was a little bit easier for me. Well yeah, so
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: that's that should be said. Okay, fred is going to
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: be in a great position of the year right when
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: you give birth, because the season will just be about over.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so we will be just about over, depending on
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: how long we go in playoffs.
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: If we make it to the Super Bowl.
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: If we do make it to the Super Bowl, I'll
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: be around thirty six thirty seven weeks. Yeah, I know,
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: we'll see. I can't worry about things that aren't here yet.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: But you know, of course that's the objective of the year,
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: so we'll see. I mean, I it's in Vegas, so
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: we live in NorCal So if we you know, I
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: would just drive today. Yeah, if that was happening. But
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: also it's just those are our challenges. We'll deal with
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: when we get there. But I'll definitely go into all
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: of the I'll try to go to all of the
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: playoff games if we make it there. But once the
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: baby is actually here, yes, it will be off season
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: and we'll be able to have those, like you no
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: fun newborn months together, which was amazing.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that could not have been That could not have
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: been more prevarently planned.
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and we've planned it out because we did, Okay,
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: we had.
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: We knew if we didn't get pregnant within two more
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: months of trying, then we would just have to stop
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: and just try next off season.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: So do you mind me asking how long it took?
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: How many months were trying?
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So we started trying and we got pregnant with
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: them three.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Months, okay, yeah, so I just I only ask to
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: ask because I get DMS about from people asking me
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: like how long it took us, which was seven months,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: and they're starting to feel discouraged around.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: The three month point, and it's just like, you know, just.
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: It's funny because every you know, it's not it's of
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: course you get discouraged always like, but we started trying
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: and I had no I didn't expect us to get
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: pregnant that bath, but I did have that little ounce
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: of discouragement that third month, and I'm like, you're being easy, Sidney,
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: like it's only three months, but then that was the
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: month that we did get our positive.
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: But yeah, I can't seven.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: That's it's ever.
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: It's so tough, and I didn't realize that until I'm
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: like in this new world of mothers and fertility and pregnancy,
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: and it's like it's it can be intense.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: But I also, I'm.
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: Sure it has nothing to do with it. But I've
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: never been on birth control, so yeah, body.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't have anything to do with it. But
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: I was in my mind, I was telling myself that
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: it was a positive.
• 15:09

• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Okay, I thought that you had an athlete boyfriend for
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: some reason or maybe it was just because like I

  Speaker 2: was thinking that when you got with Fred that maybe
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: you guys had been in touch with before the show.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: But anyway, can continue.
• 17:32

  Speaker 4: show and they were just watching and then he was
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: single and his brother like or something reached out to
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: him and was like, hey, there's this girl on the

  Speaker 4: all that just that he ended up like dming me
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: and I was like the week where was the woman tall?
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: And we ended up meeting.
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: In Orange County because that's where the Wintell was and
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: then that's where he was training for his off season
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: football training. So we met there, had dinner, and then
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: that was kind of it. We just knew we wanted
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: to like date and get to know each other and talk,
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: and then it just like progressed, progress progressed, and now
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: we were expecting our first child.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Together, so my gosh, So it was quick like it
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: was right after the show when the show.
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I had like already like signed my contract
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: to go to Paradise.
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: And I was like, you know, like of course I'm going, like.
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: I'm so excited, and then like COVID hit and that
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: he keeps the date kept getting pushed back, and then
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: I'm only like talking to Fred and dating him more
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: because I don't know if I'm going, like I don't know.
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: So all that to say, COVID got canceled everything. It
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: was all everything happened exactly the way it was supposed
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: to because I'm not going to go to guys when
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: I'm dating this guy, and it was actually serious at
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: that point, so that wasn't on the table. And then
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: after that we just like dated. I always say we
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: kind of dated with a purpose. We knew that we
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: wanted it to be serious.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: We just didn't know.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: How long or like how to navigate it. But we
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: did long distance for a while, and then we decided
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: to just like go full in, so we did.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: Were you a football fan before, Yeah.
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: Because I'm from Alabama and I went to yeah, Blabama,
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: so like it's always been a huge.
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: Part of my life. So it's just funny I ended
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: up marrying when that played football.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: It's amazing because if you weren't on the show, like
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: The Bachelor. You got married from the Bachelor too, because
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: if you weren't on, you wouldn't have connected never.
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: Ever ever crossed paths with him. We would have never
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: known each other. So I am so thankful for that
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: show and like doing it and meeting all the people
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: that I did. It was so fun and I'm just
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: like so thankful because I would have never met my
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: husband if it wasn't for The Bachelor.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I love that.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: So on your TikTok, you're sharing some NFL secrets, anything
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: you can tell us, Oh my gosh, anything that you
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: haven't put up there yet.
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: I feel like I've said a lot, almost too much.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: Do you want to know anything?
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: Going over and check it out because it's all there.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Okay, Now I feel like I have a question. I
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: just really I need to come up with a question.
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: I have a question for you.
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: I know yours is a huge Tom Brady fan and
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: now retired, Like for sure, who's your husband's team.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: And you're not, like it's just so sad, like it's
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: just not the football season is not the same whatsoever,
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: especially because his team, which will still you know, is
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: the Patriots.
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: They're so shy that it's like really hot.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: It's been a really depressing season, letting go of calm
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: because there's just not much root for because I'm a
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Giants fan and they're just as crappy. So it's just
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: like a really sad football season in our house.
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: He did you watch the Bucks at all because of Tom?
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: No?
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: No, the Bucks was solely just because of Tom being there.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: But we have like we have Bucks merch around the
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: house too, just like and can remember to.
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: Switch over from the Patriots to the Bus. He's a
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: true Patriots fan.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a true page. Oh no, no, no, we we did.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: We declare her Yeah yeah, we declared herself Tom over team,
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: and we were we were more Bucks fans for those
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: three years than we were Patriots fans. Like when they
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: did go ahead to head, we rooted for Tom. Okay,
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: but he really got me, like he got me into
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: the Tom spell.
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: The Patriots was Mac Jones, who was football for Obama.
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: He was a product for Alabama for a while. Okay,
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: I wanted him so bad selfishly to come to be
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: to be with the Niners, and then we passed on
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: him and we al was like my gosh, like we
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: passed on him. We got brought party and it's working out.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, it's working out quite well for you guys.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: I think it worked out for the best. I know,
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: how many more years does he have on his contract?
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: Fred?
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: So right now he's in like his second contract and
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: so not this offen, but next offseason they'll kind of
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: reevaluate and we could get like five more.
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: Years here or if we get zero years here, who knows.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Does that stress you out that like you you for
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: the foresee, the future won't have like your your home
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: place could just change basically anytime because he could be
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: traded and such too.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: Right, yeah, absolutely so.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: Right now, he's been with the Niners his whole career,
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: this is his he's in his sixth year now, which
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: is like pretty solid.
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: To be with a team six years.
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: So we feel really, you know, good, and he's playing
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: great and he you know, he's the captain of the team,
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: so we feel pretty solid now.
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: But football, it's business. Anything can change at any moment.
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: So we're just going to cross our fingers and hope
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: he does great until next off season and hope that
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: the Niners want him to stay.
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: And if so, that's amazing. But if not. Then it's
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: part of a life. We got to pick up, we
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: got to go.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: So yeah, that's got to keep you on edge a
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: little bit totally, especially.
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: With the baby on the way.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now I need to be honest about this.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: Next question as an NFL wife, Well, how do you
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: feel about this all the Taylor Swift attention with Travis Kelsey.
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: My gosh, So I didn't even think it was legit
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: in the beginning.
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: I was like, oh, like, there's no way, Like that's crazy.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: Da da da da.
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: And then like it's totally legit, like they are in love,
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: like they.
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: Like yeah, very like this is this is for real,
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: which is so crazy, But I.
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: Think it's it's wild. I mean, I don't know. I
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: think now that I'm like.
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: In this, you kind of when you're in it, you're like, yeah,
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: these guys are athletes, but a lot of them are
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: also celebrities. Like it's kind of crazy how you get
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: they're like both and Travis is both. Yes, it's natural
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: for him to date someone that's, you know, celebrity as
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: well her being I think a little bit more so
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: than him on the celebrity.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe the most famous celebrity in the entire world, right,
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: So it.
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: Totally makes sense, honestly, good for him.
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: That's incredible that he shot his shot and it is
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: working out great for him.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: So yeah, it's it's good.
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: It's also really good for the Chiefs because their ticket
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: sales have like.
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: Skyrocketed even more. But yeah, I mean, I think everyone's winning.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: Everyone's winning.
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: Really.
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: Okay, if you guys could have a celebrity of like
• 24:25
  Speaker 6: a tailor status date one of the Niners, who would
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: you want it to be?
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: Who would you want to hang out in the box with?
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: I It's kind of like it's like on my mind
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: because she just performed with the super Bowl, But like Rihanna,
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: I know she's yeah, but she's taken, was available? Who's
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: not taken? I feel like everyone's taken that I would
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: want to hang out with.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: What about one of the Kardashians would be really Arianna
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: has got a boyfriend that we all don't friend.
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: Everyone's taken Kim Kardashian, but like there's rumors that she
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: dating Obj's.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: Right, the OBJ rumors.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: They're out there, but we've never seen them together yet.
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: That would be nuts.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: They need to see it. I can totally see it
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: me too. It kind of brings her back to her
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: you know, Reggie Bots.
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you like, but I don't know, I like those
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: are two really good ones because everyone else has taken.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, well you and Fred just started a podcast, and.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: I guess, like it's kind of almost.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Feels crazy that like the NFL players can have their
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: own podcast, Like Travis Kelsey has his own podcast. He
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: puts a lot of things out there. You guys have
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: a podcast, it's called The Warner House. What are you
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: talking about on there? And like, is there anything that
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: he is like off limits of talking about about, like
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: what happens like at work?
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: So basically, what we decided to do was take this
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: opportunity to talk about my perspective as being his wife
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: and being someone that you know, is in this NFL
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: life with him, and then obviously his perspective of being
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: in the NFL, being on in the height of his career,
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: being the captain of the team, and like, you know,
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: just kind of getting to know us an aspect of
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: just like our family life, and then also just like
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: making it about football too, because that's what people want
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: to know. For Fred, he definitely doesn't There's certain things
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: like you can't really talk about, you know, the ins
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: and outs of injuries, or the ins and outs of
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: like people, like you know, people's status on the team.
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: Those are the things that are completely off limits, of course.
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: But he can definitely talk about.
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: His play, what he thinks of his teammates play, and
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: things like that. Other teams and how they're doing.
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: We to talk about that, but yeah, I think off
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: limits would just be kind of like the obvious stuff,
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: you know, like the personal things with other players, and like,
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: you know, especially when playoffs come, things will have to
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: be dialed down a bit.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: But yeah, m all right, Well this has been so
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: fun at talking to you. My last question is just like,
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: how are you staying in touch with The Bachelor? Do
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: you have any ties to this show anymore? Do you
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: still watch as Fred get into it?
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so we do watch the Golden Bachelor.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: We love that.
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: That's amazing. I hope they do a Bachelor at version
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: of that. I talked to I talked to a lot
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: of girls in my season. I talked to Natasha Parker.
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: I just got off the phone with Jasmine yesterday. I
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: have a few ties. Of course, It's not as close
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: as it used to be. Because you know, life moves
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: on and people move out with their lives. But yeah,
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: I love the girls on my season, like we're all
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: so close still and it's uh, like I said, I
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: wouldn't have been in this position and knowing my husband
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: and all of this if it wasn't for the show.
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: So I try to, you know, keep a few ties
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: in there.
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: But yeah, all right, well.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: Said third trimester. For me, it was actually the most tolerable.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: But for a lot of people, I know, I know,
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: it's when everything, like I started to be able to
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: like did you get when.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: Did you get birth? What week?
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: If I can ask?
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Thirty eight, which was honestly ideal and.
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: You didn't have to be induced or anything?
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: Right, No, I don't want to. I don't want I
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: don't want that.
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: That's one of because fears, Like I'm totally okay with
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: getting a C section if that's well, obviously what you
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: have to do.
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: But my biggest fears is induction because we do.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't want that.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: Most I hear awful things about it, Like so many
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: people tell me like, oh, yeah, I'm getting induced, No
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: big deal, I'm getting induced, And I'm like every time
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: I hear somebody getting induced, like it just seems like
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: it was the worst, longest experience exactly.
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: So I want to avoid that more than anything.
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: Like if I'm like two weeks past my due date,
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: I would rather do that than be induced. And that
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: sounds crazy, but I'm being honest.
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: I know I was crazy. I had told my doctor.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: I was like, is there any chance that maybe we
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: could just do an elective C section? Because I, in
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: my head can fathom surgery way more than a body total.
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: When I was in my first time ester, I don't
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: know what. It came up on my feet or something.
