  Speaker 2: some time here on this podcast to say thank you Disney.
• 9:48
  Speaker 10: Thank you, Thank you Disney. One of the most amazing experiences.
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: Still wondering why I wasn't invited.
• 9:55
  Speaker 8: So this is my party, right, yeah, party. So I
• 9:59
  Speaker 8: will say this about so when I used to host
• 10:01
  Speaker 8: those events, I would do this thing for Super Soap
• 10:04
  Speaker 8: Weekend and then for the ESPN Sports Weekend, and it
• 10:06
  Speaker 8: was my favorite.
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: It was one of my favorite jobs I've ever had.
• 10:09
  Speaker 8: But I did get to see the underbelly of Disney World,
• 10:12
  Speaker 8: which is Orlando and do you know that in the
• 10:15
  Speaker 8: event of an attack, right, So, in the event of
• 10:19
  Speaker 8: some foreign attack, whether it be nuclear otherwise, that is
• 10:23
  Speaker 8: the place today. They have an in these things go
• 10:27
  Speaker 8: up like in Wall Street.
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: How these things go up.
• 10:29
  Speaker 8: No vehicles can get in there or out of there
• 10:31
  Speaker 8: without Wow. They have a full food, water, and everything underneath.
• 10:38
  Speaker 8: So if we ever are suffering a nuclear attack, and
• 10:40
  Speaker 8: you're go, go because trust me, you are fine.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: Difference between Disneyland and Disney World, Yeah.
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: Disney was on and ones, And I will.

• 10:57
  Speaker 8: Going to Club thirty three is one of the coolest
• 11:00
  Speaker 8: things I've ever got to do in my life. That's
• 11:03
  Speaker 8: what's Club thirty three. That's where Walt Disney is his
• 11:05
  Speaker 8: apartment that he lived in. And you go there and
• 11:10
  Speaker 8: they have this exquisite menu and it's all these accouterments
• 11:14
  Speaker 8: that were.
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: Like our next trend. You're worried about not being invited? Yeah, yesterday.

• 11:24
  Speaker 5: our moments. What a great one. But I really enjoyed that.
• 11:27

• 11:31
  Speaker 8: and that's saying it's exciting. You're pretty nice guy. Ben's
• 11:35
  Speaker 8: way nice than me, and his parents were both Disney people.
• 11:38
  Speaker 8: This makes perfect sense to me with Disney.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Walking around Disney with Bobby yesterday and he's like, yeah,
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: back when I went to Club thirty three and we're

• 11:58
  Speaker 5: So, guys, thank you very much. I love you for this.

  Speaker 8: Ben's baby shower?
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: Yes? Right, So I want to go around the room.
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: I want to ask questions.
• 12:10

• 12:15
  Speaker 8: good parents.

• 12:25
  Speaker 8: So if you have to give some advice to Ben,
• 12:29
  Speaker 8: we all know is a very sensitive and loving man.
• 12:32
  Speaker 8: His wife is a lovely human being, incredibly beautiful, sweet
• 12:37
  Speaker 8: and kind and scared to death.
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: And scared to death. Well we're all scared to death.
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: I mean, first time, what do we what do we give?
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: Let's start here.
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: Just breathe, there's nothing you can do when, especially when
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: the baby comes, You're like, what do I do now
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: when you take her home? Like, the don't come with instructions,
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: it's a natural, just do There are no perfect ways,
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. It's gonna be scary. You
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: don't how to bathe them. They'll show you that in
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: the hospital, but just just do you.
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: Know what's funny about that?
• 13:09
  Speaker 8: When we left the hospital, I do remember. I love
• 13:12
  Speaker 8: that you just said that, because I forgot to say
• 13:13
  Speaker 8: that earlier. I remember I was trying to put the
• 13:16
  Speaker 8: car seat in the car. No one even told me
• 13:18
  Speaker 8: how to do that. And then as I'm putting our
• 13:20
  Speaker 8: baby in the car seat, I'm like, no one's gonna
• 13:22
  Speaker 8: like someone like this. It's okay to leave. Are you
• 13:25
  Speaker 8: worried about that? Have you thought about that?
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: You know?
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: I have Bob and he's prepared.
• 13:32
  Speaker 10: He bought a baby Target and he's been practicing, practicing
• 13:36
  Speaker 10: taking it in and out.
• 13:37
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: Well no, And I was telling Nancy this earlier.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Nancy and I are from the same place, which you
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: mentioned many times, and we have some incredible people in
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: this town.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: But some of these people get you.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Know, have their first babies very young and I have
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: some great friends who have had you know, who have
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: kids in middle school at this point, and they they
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: figured it out and they were you and they were
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: you know, naive, and they were trying to figure out
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: what life was like. And so there's a little bit
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: of confidence that I've had thinking about it. It's like,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: if they can do it in the season of life
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: they were in, I can do it at thirty five.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: That's not a hit on them more than like, at twenty,
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: if you told me I was having a baby, I
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: don't think I would be prepared. I don't think i'd
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: be ready. But at thirty five, there is some life instincts, yeah,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: that I kicked in. It's natural that that are a
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: little different than when I was at twenty being like
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: when can I go to the bars next?
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: You know, I was kind of I'm not necessarily worried
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: about that right.
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: Now, all right, I have two things to say.
• 14:41
  Speaker 10: Yes, One is very practical, which is when you have
• 14:44
  Speaker 10: a child, like, don't swing them by the arms because
• 14:47
  Speaker 10: you'll dislocate them and you'll be in the emergency room.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: Until I see parents.
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: Still, okay, just don't do it.
• 14:54
  Speaker 9: I do it.
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: The advice is not to do.
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: Don't do it. It's fun. They're tol and you don't.
• 14:58
  Speaker 10: Yeah mid yeah, yeah, mid By not okay. But the
• 15:02
  Speaker 10: other thing is really a heartfelt, and I mean this advice.
• 15:07
  Speaker 10: Your children are never going to remember Ben, the gifts
• 15:11
  Speaker 10: you give them, the toys, the dolls, the you know what,
• 15:14
  Speaker 10: they're going to remember. They're going to remember the example
• 15:17
  Speaker 10: you said for them. For her, she's going to remember
• 15:22
  Speaker 10: how you and your wife treat each other. Those are
• 15:25
  Speaker 10: the lessons that she is going to take with her.
• 15:28
  Speaker 10: That is so when she forget all the gifts, forget
• 15:31
  Speaker 10: all that, it's it's how you as a family grow,
• 15:36
  Speaker 10: That's what's going to matter.
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: I gotta say this right now. You guys are crushing this.
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: You're gonna make me cry.
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: No, I know me too.
• 15:42
  Speaker 8: I'm like I'm sitting here thinking like I don't want
• 15:45
  Speaker 8: to ever argue in front of my kids. You know,
• 15:47
  Speaker 8: it's like in those moments, it's like, you know, what
• 15:50
  Speaker 8: she just said was so true, Like they're going to
• 15:51
  Speaker 8: remember that.
• 15:52
  Speaker 10: The experience is my kids the littlest things, and my
• 15:56
  Speaker 10: kids are grown and they'll say, Mom, you know we
• 15:59
  Speaker 10: remember it makes me we remember when you and Dad
• 16:02
  Speaker 10: and it's the smallest thing that we did as a family,
• 16:05
  Speaker 10: and I'm like, what of the damn time when I
• 16:07
  Speaker 10: took it.
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: From her partner? The way you treat you, you know,
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: it's how you model family.
• 16:17
  Speaker 8: And yes, I think, I know, I know this might
• 16:20
  Speaker 8: sound sexist and I don't mean it too, but I
• 16:22
  Speaker 8: do feel like women need to see a great example
• 16:25
  Speaker 8: of a of a man, and who's better than this guy? Honestly,
• 16:30
  Speaker 8: I mean, this guy personifies so much of that, and
• 16:34
  Speaker 8: I think he doesn't want to hear it right now,
• 16:36
  Speaker 8: but but it is true.
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: You You, you.
• 16:38
  Speaker 8: Are such a great guy, and your daughter will see
• 16:42
  Speaker 8: how you treat your wife and how you treat your family,
• 16:45
  Speaker 8: and that's what she'll come to expect for who she's
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: going to be with in her life.
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm sorry.
• 16:52

• 16:59
  Speaker 2: and you all have been around me enough that.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: You know this.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: I walk a thin line between being like sobby ninety
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: nine percent of my life I do and having a
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: daughter is my worst nightmare.
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: Quite frankly, the greatest gift.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: It's going to break me.

• 19:18
  Speaker 2: a dad.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: I don't feel that yet.
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: It's weird until you smell her and see her and
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: she's wailing.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: But the cool part is I have the best wife
• 19:28

• 19:34
  Speaker 10: But can I just say, That's what I'm trying to
• 19:37
  Speaker 10: say to you, is all the things that you know
• 19:40
  Speaker 10: you can buy all the toys, and she's going to
• 19:43
  Speaker 10: feel the love that you and Jess have. She's going
• 19:47
  Speaker 10: to feel it, and she's going to see it, and
• 19:49
  Speaker 10: you're going to model that for her. And that's a
• 19:52
  Speaker 10: gift that you don't even know you're going to gift
• 19:54
  Speaker 10: to her.
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: And when she really wants something and you buy it,
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: she's going to remember that too.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: She can't remember the flat. It's an exciting time, you know.
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: What it is.
• 20:06
  Speaker 8: I think it's so sweet that. I mean, I waited
• 20:12
  Speaker 8: I was forty eight to have kids. I shouldn't say
• 20:14
  Speaker 8: I waited.
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: You're late, bloom.
• 20:15
  Speaker 8: I was forty one, had kids and I and I
• 20:18
  Speaker 8: I thought that it gave me this perspective. It was
• 20:21
  Speaker 8: so different. But now I'm watching you, who you just
• 20:24
  Speaker 8: are just such a sensitive and sweet soul. And it's
• 20:26
  Speaker 8: like so nice to watch someone you love and care about,
• 20:29
  Speaker 8: who you've go through love and cared about since they
• 20:32
  Speaker 8: started this weird fraternity.
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: That we have.
• 20:35
  Speaker 8: And I love seeing it because it's like, man, I
• 20:37
  Speaker 8: just watch you. I'm like, God, he's just wiser than me.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: Do you remember the feeling of, oh my goodness, I'm
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: responsible for this?
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: You know?
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: You know I have to protect them. I have to
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: educate them, I have to show them life like it's overwhelming.
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: I'm scared. I didn't have the love in me to
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: give because I wait.
• 20:59
  Speaker 10: When you had so somebody asked me this. When I
• 21:02
  Speaker 10: had my first child, I was consuming the second and
• 21:06
  Speaker 10: then the second. I was so scared that I wouldn't
• 21:09
  Speaker 10: love and I don't. And you know what, God just
• 21:14
  Speaker 10: stretches your heart and you love the second one as much,
• 21:18
  Speaker 10: and the third one it stretches.
• 21:19
  Speaker 8: My wife and I went to counseling and I said,
• 21:23
  Speaker 8: I was so worried, and I go, I just don't go.
• 21:25
  Speaker 8: You know, I'm an older guy, and I don't think
• 21:27
  Speaker 8: I have enough love in me. I love my son,
• 21:30
  Speaker 8: so I'm gonna cry.
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: But as soon as that one comes out.
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: I don't think I have enough.
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: You have a huge heart, and you have so much.
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: It's when two come out at a time.
• 21:44
  Speaker 7: That's another story.
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: That was scary.
• 21:47
  Speaker 7: And you're only having right now.
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: You've got.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: The big thing. And so I was.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Telling my my best buddy yesterday this.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, he called me.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: I was talking to Kathy yesterday. He goes, are you excited?
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: I am excited? Like I don't have any like non
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: excitement feelings. This is a good step, I said, And
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: he goes, what are you worried about? I said, There's
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: one thing I'm worried about. There's one thing that kind
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: of haunts me. That was my question, And the question,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: if I'm honest, is I'm thirty five years old. This
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: isn't late necessarily for me. This isn't early for me.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: This just feels like it's the right time for me
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: at whatever to have my first baby. But I've lived
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: thirty five years of my life.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: Pretty much.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, my wife is is very great, and we've
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: made this marriage and this commitment. But I've lived thirty
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: five years of my life without any other responsibilities outside
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: of myself.
• 22:55
  Speaker 10: No pets, Ben, Can I just say, the minute your
• 22:59
  Speaker 10: daughter is born, you won't be able to imagine it
• 23:02
  Speaker 10: any other way.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: Interesting. That's That's what I'm concerned about. Is I've developed
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: these habits and these these rhythms and these things, and
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: I'm selfish, and not necessarily on purpose.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: I'm just selfish because I what's to do? Day twelve?
• 23:19
  Speaker 10: Your selfishness will end.
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: It all goes away.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: The mother does change her schedule, her beauty, but getting ready,
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: that's like, doesn't happen as world it is.
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: No, it really is. It is. I'll never forget.
• 23:39
  Speaker 8: I've never loved to just be there than that moment
• 23:42
  Speaker 8: of watching her and I'm in the room and I'm
• 23:44
  Speaker 8: like watching her give birth, and I'm just like.
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: Were you afraid of the labor? Are you nervous about
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: that canyon?
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: Both worlds? She went through several hours of.
• 23:58
  Speaker 8: Section, And I'll never for get it being in that
• 24:00
  Speaker 8: room and just watching and I'm like, this is unreal.
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: Isn't it beautiful?
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: Like I was a part of thirty or four seconds
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: of this?
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: Then are you screaming?
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: Twenty Jessica's asked me to stay shut up above shoulder up.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: She's asked me that of me, and she said, if
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: things go wrong, I can go down low, cut the cord.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: I'm good cutting the cord. I'm in my screaming squeamish
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: I think so yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: She might not be nice, like.
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: She's well, she's Italian.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: She she's good at it. Yeah, yeah, she.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: Always getting on epidural like good she's not doing like
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: my one of my best friends in the world's daughters
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: is having a baby.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: She's doing a water birth. Jessica says, Nope, still not
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: interested in EPID.
• 25:04
  Speaker 7: Signed up for the e and you'll be so happy. Yeah,
• 25:07
  Speaker 7: and so will she?
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: Okay, any last words here to share that you're just
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: like holding on to before we go, We'll start with Nancy.
• 25:27
  Speaker 9: I would say, savor it, be there with her, Savor
• 25:32
  Speaker 9: the moment. You don't have to fear anything. This is
• 25:36
  Speaker 9: the way it's supposed to be. And be in the
• 25:40
  Speaker 9: moment with her. And I ditto what Kathy said when
• 25:47
  Speaker 9: and Susan two. When they're born, all of that worry,
• 25:52
  Speaker 9: whatever you were worried about, goes away, and then you
• 25:55
  Speaker 9: have your family. It's like you feel remember it feeling
• 25:59
  Speaker 9: so safe riding home from the hospital with my husband
• 26:05
  Speaker 9: and our first baby and your little unit in.
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: Your whole world.
• 26:12
  Speaker 9: Change, it changes, but you won't have the worry and
• 26:16
  Speaker 9: the feary you have right now.
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: That's right.
• 26:18
  Speaker 9: I really believe that my second thing is sleep when
• 26:23
  Speaker 9: the baby sleeps.
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: When you're at home, don't worry about cleaning, laundering.
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: No laundry.
• 26:28
  Speaker 9: It doesn't matter if the house is a mess. Sleep
• 26:31
  Speaker 9: when the baby sleeps, and take when your parents come
• 26:35
  Speaker 9: or when Jessica's parents come sleep and let them help
• 26:40
  Speaker 9: because you need it.
• 26:42
  Speaker 10: And I would just say, you are embarking on the
• 26:46
  Speaker 10: most beautiful gift that life ever brings you, and just
• 26:50
  Speaker 10: enjoy every minute.
• 26:51
  Speaker 9: And why do you think people do it again and again?
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: They have been most importantly, just pray to God. That's
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: all that the baby's healthy. But here's a really important thing.
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: Did you get a push present?
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: Oh?

• 27:22
  Speaker 3: I bring.
• 27:23
  Speaker 6: It to when she's in the hospital.
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: After they clean up, give her an.
• 27:29
  Speaker 10: The first time they bring the baby back, and when

  Speaker 6: Did usually je is good?
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: I have something in mind. It gives. Everybody says push present,
• 27:42
