Hope you guys are doing well. Hope you had a great weekend. Welcome into another week here of marriage. Monday, we missed you last week. We took last week off for Memorial Day, and we are glad to be back. Man, a lot of life has happened between two weeks ago and now. Did we? Did we record the last week? Week before last? Not last. Did we okay? For some reason I feel like you've raced a different show, or, I don't know, no, we definitely did. Okay, yeah,

Unknown Speaker  1:07  
we're back. We're back, baby, joining me in today's my beautiful coast Savannah. How are you? I'm great. Tried to be here. Excited to be here. Always, always, yep, yep. Welcome to the Jungle. Stop. Oh man.

Unknown Speaker  1:21  
What? Man.

Unknown Speaker  1:23  
What a time of life that we are in, folks, what a time. How do we even like it's like, if you've gone through it, you know, some of you, probably, some of you probably like way removed from it, like a lot of you, people listening,

Unknown Speaker  1:40  
are years and years and years down the road of young, young kids, right? But then there's probably some people out there that are in it, pretty good mix. And if you're in the thick of it, guys, you're not alone. If, yeah, you are not alone.

Unknown Speaker  1:58  
Things really are good. Though we really are in a we're in a good spot. Things are good. We've gotten to a plate. Let's just say we're getting in a little bit more of a routine. No, we're not. So we are. No, we're not. The only thing that we have is that we're getting them both, like, down to bed around within the same hour of each other. Yeah, and sleep is going pretty decent. Yes, in the eight o'clock hour, we've been able to get them both sleep. And I feel like I can say that you're new to the show. We have two kids, two and a half year old, and in nine weeks old. Yeah, so

Unknown Speaker  2:34  
the weeks are flying. I got by the time I say nine, it's already 10. Like, well, yeah, and being a Wednesday always messes. Like, middle of the week, like this. I just call it the Monday. Yeah, I gotta start on the Monday, sorry. But so this week he will be 10 weeks. But, yeah. Anyways, so the win for for right now is that we have been able to get them both down for bed in their rooms at an eight o'clock hour, that's right. So, and I feel like I said, like, I can constantly say that, because it has that's been happening. So I'll just be like, one night, you know, because you say, you say something once, and then they're like, I'll show you what happens again. So I, you know, I Be careful about what I

Unknown Speaker  3:20  
say. What's funny, I just got the most random text, and we're back. You two didn't even know we took a little break, but we took a little break because Savannah got a text message that she just could not hold in. Yeah? Some things you get text messaging, you're like, what you like stops. You made no sense. Yeah? Sort of clear that up. So, yes, you don't really, we, literally, we talk in code sometimes, you know, like, we don't say things, like, today when he was asleep, and you were like, everything's okay. It's not like he's still you never say he's still asleep. Yes, you called me and you were trying to get the vibe, like, if you could, you know, keep, get doing what you're doing, or if I needed some backup. And I was like, almost said it. And I was like, one of them is, everything's okay, literally. And I knew exactly, man, I was like, Oh yeah, yeah, we're still okay for the moment. Yeah. Because if I mean sure as the world, you say he's still asleep, he'll walk out the door 30 seconds later, literally, it's like he's speaking into existence. Yeah, yeah. That's so true. And so so real annoying. I don't understand how they know it's like their seventh sense. Yeah, yeah. They know it doesn't make sense, but it happens. It happens. That's where we're at. I would say,

Unknown Speaker  4:33  
you know, the last 910, weeks, right? We've talked a lot about baby, a lot about family, a lot about this and that and the other

Unknown Speaker  4:41  
I would say we've, we've talked through the last couple weeks like we're having more and more. I think we're coming out of the like, we're coming out of the Freshy, happy newborn, really postpartum, like we're like, getting into thread, the stride of life, like, yeah and.

Unknown Speaker  5:00  
Tate got his big boy shots this past week, yes. And so it's like, I we're here. We have arrived. Time Life continues now. Okay, so here's what's making me be like, first of all is, I've looked back tonight at some pictures of when, like, the week he was born, and I was like, Oh, my word. This is not our baby. Like, yeah, the baby that I'm holding in front of me is not the baby in these pictures, not at all. They change so much, and he's already almost 14 pounds. I thought that of getting him out of the sea the last couple take the tank. Yeah, he is a big boy, um, and, but he's not fat, though, that's what. He's very proportional. He's in like the 95th percentile for height, yeah? Like he is not fat at all. Like he's not even, he's not even close to chubby. He's, like, a very proportional baby. He's just a big, like, a long baby. He's in a three to six months sleeper, yeah, zero to threes, they're done. He's too long. And number two diapers are coming real soon. Size two, yeah,

Unknown Speaker  5:59  
um, but, yeah, he's changed so much. And he's 10 weeks this week. At 12 weeks, he's no longer even considered a newborn. He's just an infant, yeah? And that's like, I mean, you know, you can say it, but technically, speaking, we won't have a newborn anymore in two weeks, yeah? And that just feels, why? Surreal, yeah, I feel like we've been in this like we said. I don't know if we've talked about this before, but I feel like we've been in this time warp, like we've been sitting here in the world

Unknown Speaker  6:31  
everything has stood still. But obviously it hasn't like I have a friend, her baby is six months old when we had Tate, and so now she's over eight months old. But the other day, I was talking to her, and I said something about her being six. Being six months old, and she's like, Savannah, she's over eight months old now. And I was like, wait what? None of this makes sense. Like another friend, her little girl, had her first birthday. And I was like, this is not no, no. Like, none of this. Nothing's happened, whatever. So, and then friends that are also pregnant, like they are now about to have their baby, and I'm like, Whoa. Like, five minutes ago, you were 22

Unknown Speaker  7:07  
Yeah? So I'm like, holy cow, the world really did keep spinning. And we're just been sitting here, you know? But, yeah, it's crazy. Just how fast it all goes. It does. It goes very quickly.

Unknown Speaker  7:21  
And now that we're coming out of it. Oh, but yes, we're, we're, we're out of this. Like, adrenaline rush. Yeah, I baby bliss. We're, like, getting into the, into the thick of it, like, Hey, this is life with two, right? And, and, did we have the

Unknown Speaker  7:38  
folks, I don't know anything about it. Folks, look, the last of what we said. Yeah, exactly. Some of the shows the last 10 weeks have been, we probably been half asleep doing them. You just don't right now, you just don't sleep. But I'm feeling good. We really are, like, we're feeling pretty good right now. We're sleeping. So you should say, just say we feel okay, yeah, we're feeling don't get any more detail. We're feeling good

Unknown Speaker  8:01  
with all that said, like,

Unknown Speaker  8:04  
I think that we have really realized and are starting to uncover that, and this is where I was going with this. And then we'll continue. I don't know if we talked about the zero, the jump from like one to two, or zero to one.

Unknown Speaker  8:19  
Talk about in the show or not really quickly, in two minutes or less. In my humble opinion, zero to one is much more life changing. Yeah, one to two is not near as bad. We were talking about that tonight, and I'll tell you why. We're going to talk about the adjustment that we that we're having with two and like, where we're at mentally, but like,

Unknown Speaker  8:39  
one to the one child to two child thing. That's not the like, that's not an issue. Like, to me, it has not been bad at all. It's just been very different, I think that. But it hasn't been near as bad as zero to one. It's not even on the same scale. Yeah, there's a lot of contributing factors that we don't, we won't get into. But like, Yes, life changing. I mean, the temperament of your baby has a lot to do with that. Yeah, and I know we've talked about that a lot of babies, my friends say, like their baby, their first baby was so easy, so their second baby rocks our world. You know, like that was called, but let's talk principle. Let's take a motion out, take, take the I don't think you can. I think that your baby itself like it's no no because you still, like,

Unknown Speaker  9:24  
zero to one, you've never done. Okay, here's the thing, yes, but like, I mean, I guess we're gonna hang into it, like, you have, you have one baby, and your first baby is super it's just hard for you. Like, the baby's not bad, but, yeah, they're going through a lot. You're going through a lot. It's very hard. The experience overall is very hard. You have your second baby, they're so laid back. They go the flow. They sleep, great. Sleep. Whenever there's no, no colic, no no reflux, everyone's everyone's fine, okay? And then you you have more comments so you're able to go and take them out. Well, you would obviously say, they say.

Unknown Speaker  10:00  
It was way easier, right? What if you have, let's flip it. You have your first super chill, laid back sleep, but then your second one all over the place. You know, no one's sleeping. They're cocky, whatever then, but that's just take them anywhere. So like, that transition would be hard to navigate that infant with a toddler, yeah? But I'm saying, like,

Unknown Speaker  10:22  
I think it's just so individual, yeah, yes. I guess I think you just put that. I think you have to. I'm talking about the principle of having two human beings, not one that cries a lot, or one that's easy. I'm talking about like, two human beings versus one human being that's coming in and change like one is coming out of nowhere. You've never had to deal with that before. It's been all about yourself. I agree. Yourselves. You're saying, Yeah, so I agree, yes, I see the principle, I think deeper. But anyway, for us, 100% one to two has not been near as bad as zero to one. Jack was a little crazy, baby. Tate's been pretty chill, baby.

Unknown Speaker  11:00  
So like, that's the that's the case for us. But now they're out of that, right? And we're out of that, like, initial change and jump. We're getting into life with two and seeing this things, and

Unknown Speaker  11:11  
I think we're rocking and doing pretty good. What are, I mean, what are some things that you think that you've, like, struggled with or picked up on and note started to notice more like, about this, maybe just adjusting to life with two like, not not Tate individually, obviously, but like, yeah, and we're doing, we're at a big there's a

Unknown Speaker  11:34  
lot of caveats to this. Now we break it down. The age of your first baby has a lot to do with Yeah, 100% that's why I say there's so many factors every individual thing, because we're at, like, a pivotal point where Jack is developing a big personality. He's talking like non stop, and we're in the middle of trying to potty train. I don't

Unknown Speaker  11:54  
want to talk about and so actually,

Unknown Speaker  11:58  
you will not catch Savannah talking about potty training in my heart that I need to repent over. When it comes to potty training, I'm not talking about it. She is, uh,

Unknown Speaker  12:09  
we'll just say struggling. Is that a good word that I I will pay someone to come potty train him. I don't care what your price is. Name it. Come do it, and I'll Jeremiah will write the check, because I'm not doing it. I don't care not. Anyways, move on.

Unknown Speaker  12:31  
Oh my goodness. So we are going through that and and that's been, that's been a judgment, for sure. But what are some things that you're noticing and realizing. Like, I mean, because we've had some deep conversations recently, and we wanted to go too deep into it today, but I think this is valuable stuff to talk about, the mental that we're feeling, yeah, the physical that we're feeling, just because, like, there's still a lot of you young guys that are out there doing it right. You're still growing families, you're still going through this stage of life, and maybe you're not there yet, and maybe you're not there yet. Maybe this is something you're listening to two, three years down the road, and it's valuable for you. But,

Unknown Speaker  13:09  
like, I wish that we had some stuff like this. Like, we didn't have anything. We may we just haven't found it. I'm sure there's some stuff out there, but we never found it. Like, to plug into this, I think the the biggest thing, the biggest difference this time is

Unknown Speaker  13:27  
I don't I'm

Unknown Speaker  13:29  
not going back to work like I was last time, and so I'm trying to get, like,

Unknown Speaker  13:38  
out of this newborn, but, like, kind of get us in some routine. But I was able to enjoy it a little bit more because I knew it wasn't going away. But then there's also some, like,

Unknown Speaker  13:50  
a little bit I need a break, holy crap. This is it, like I'm just in it, and this is where I am, and there isn't a break. Like there's no this is gonna sound bad, but just honesty, like there's, there's not an end in sight. And I don't mean that ugly, but like, when I was coming back to work with Jack, I struggled, and I did, kind of, like, I loved my job, so I kind of saw it as part of that break, right? So, like, I knew I was getting that and I think knowing, like, nothing's coming, like I've kind of had to readjust.

Unknown Speaker  14:22  
I'm currently working on that, like, my mindset, and trying to get us into some routine, whatever.

Unknown Speaker  14:29  
And so I think that that has added an aspect to us, into our relationship that we're currently trying to navigate in this whole like, now that I'm a stay home mom, you know, this is my job, whatever

Unknown Speaker  14:42  
that maybe other people don't have, that we are, that I do feel a little like lonely in is like, you know, we,

Unknown Speaker  14:52  
we argue like, you know, this, this never, I never get to turn this off. Like, there's no off day for me. And like, five o'clock.

Unknown Speaker  15:00  
But the interesting thing about us and where we're at, and that a lot like most of you listening are the same way, is that it's not for you either. Like neither one of us ever are air. Quote, turn it off, off the clock. Like, you never get to clock out. Neither of us do. So like,

Unknown Speaker  15:19  
usually, you know, you'd say, like, you know, I don't get to clock out, I need the break. Well, well, you don't get to clock out, you need the break. Like, there's no true break for either of us ever.

Unknown Speaker  15:31  
Like, think about that for a second. And I'm not trying to, like, there's no pity part. Like, this is our life. Like, we chose it. We love it. That doesn't mean it's always easy. No, 100% Yeah. But like so that means neither of us ever fully clock out, ever with stay home, mom, entrepreneur, business owner. So I think us trying to find some sort of like

Unknown Speaker  15:58  
balance, like I know that there's no true balance, but, like, integrated, like, how to kind of decompress, because we're in a very like,

Unknown Speaker  16:10  
tend to be overwhelming place. You know, just, there's just, it's chaotic, it's there's a lot going on. And I know that it will only get more chaotic, but it's still new enough that we're, it's like a little

Unknown Speaker  16:24  
like, we haven't really figured out how to, like, handle it or live with it yet. Yeah, we're still, like, just kind of wide eyed, like, yeah, what's going on around me, kind of floundering around a little bit, a little bit. So I think that's my biggest like realization is,

Unknown Speaker  16:42  
you know, holy cow, I never get to clock out, but wait, you don't either. So like, how do we balance who gets the break when that, like, that's a realization that you had to come to on your own right. Like, I've never said that, maybe in years past, no, but that was like, because, in total transparency,

Unknown Speaker  17:00  
that's how I feel, because it I'll have that. I've had that. Like, I know that, but it hits me days that, like, I'm ready for five o'clock to get here, because it's like, I want air quote my time. Like, I want to get to the gym, right? I want to get to, like, go just like, somewhere myself. Because I'm like, I tried to send you somewhere by yourself, and you didn't do it. Okay? We'll talk about that in a minute, and we'll see who agrees with me. We'll take a poll, sure. But I'm like, I've gotta go. I need a clock like, I don't really think I need to clock out. I don't have that mentality with my children, but I'm just saying, like, I just need some, like, personal space. And then I'll think myself, well, what? Like, Jeremiah doesn't get that either. Like, he doesn't get a clock out. And not only does he not get to clock out, he comes home to this, yeah, so I'm like, what the Anyways, um, it's a little chaotic. We're just, you know, and I would love tips or tricks for that, right? Like, there's, there's a lot of people out there that I know you because going through it, let's just talk about this. I am 100%

Unknown Speaker  18:03  
team. Get up before my kids. Like, I am the 5am person. Like, I normally do that that is not feasible at this very moment with, like, I mean, we said we're feeling good sleep wise,

Unknown Speaker  18:16  
I'm we're gonna get back into that. I'm gonna get back into that.

Unknown Speaker  18:20  
We're just not there yet. Like, worse, he's still so little, like, the wake ups and stuff,

Unknown Speaker  18:27  
um, getting up significantly before them just isn't, isn't really, um, smart right now, because, like, I do have to be rested enough to take care of them all day. Um, so, yeah, I mean, we're just, I think that's our biggest thing is, is trying to figure out how to best take care of ourselves, take care of them, you know, yeah, because it is, and I'll never forget the time when you were man, you were close to having Tate, And you'd like, literally fell asleep in Jack's bed, watching him, yeah, like, I was here. I was like, I think that might have been the day before I went into labor. It was close. It was that Monday. It was close. And I was watching. I was just so unwell. And in looking back, it's funny in hindsight, like my body was totally getting ready to half take like, I was about, like, I think that was the day before I went into labor. I was just so unwell, and Jack's playing in his room, and I laid in his bed, and I fell asleep for like an hour. Like, I knew you were home, yeah, but yeah, yeah, yeah. And you have to do that. And that's so I think we have to,

Unknown Speaker  19:39  
transparently. We have to like

Unknown Speaker  19:43  
we have to realize how we are going to be tired, right? And you're going to be tired, and that's you just do it. That's the state of that's the state of parenthood. You're going to be tired for the next 20 years. No, not like this, not like this, but you're in different ways. Yeah, different ways. But I'll tell you, I think.

Unknown Speaker  20:00  
Think that there is an aspect of physical tired that is

Unknown Speaker  20:04  
makes everything else harder, correct? But we're coming, I think that we are transitioning a little bit more out of the physical into the mental, like we're not waking up 456, times a night anymore. Well, now you're going to because you said that. No, I said 456, I didn't, I didn't cap it at two or three.

Unknown Speaker  20:23  
I don't care you said it. We're not doing that right now at the at the moment. So really, it's just the mental it's the mental fatigue that it takes. And it's again, this is where the second child comes into play, right? Like Jack's feeling a personality. And so that personality is he wants to do things, and he wants to say no, and he wants to know why, and he wants to do this and the other. And so it's like, okay, you're you're disciplining him. You're trying to get the kids, if it tells you anything about anything, we've had to get cabinet locks for our like, top cabinets. Oh yeah, he's a very engineered kid.

Unknown Speaker  20:58  
Let's just say that he will. I put the float over the float on top. He bought, like the baby float today out of the basement. I was trying to get it out, put on top of my truck on the hood. Oh, no, you didn't. He dragged the big brown recliner chair from the patio all the way over to the front of the truck, and was going to get up there and get it with that. Oh, my God. Like he, he figures out a way, and I love it like I love it, but it's our biggest nightmare at the same time. Yep, he is seriously

Unknown Speaker  21:30  
chill mom, like he was trying to help me make French toast this morning. Just knocked the whole gallon of milk over the counter.

Unknown Speaker  21:38  
Toddler tower. I was just like, internally screaming, but, you know, trying to be cool, chill mom and cool, chill. Thankful that he was helping me, and I was like, There's nothing about me that's chill right now, you just spilled the whole gallon of milk all over the floor, but it's fine. Thanks for helping.

Unknown Speaker  21:56  
And that's when we have to

Unknown Speaker  21:58  
take a breath and say, he won't be like that forever, right? He'll be able to pour his own milk. We'll have to pour it for him, right? And that is like, that is something that I am trying to take into consideration. And so my this tonight too, of like, there's different areas that we both like, right? Like, I love this time that we're Jack, like Jack right now does not bother me near as bad as he bothers you. It

Unknown Speaker  22:23  
just doesn't like it just doesn't bother me that bad. I think it's flipped and like, where he bothers me way more than he bothers you. Yeah, like, I don't like it. I do not. I do not like this stage of life. I'm just that's just 100% like truth. And I can, and I can firmly say that because I jack is two and a half years old, and I don't miss him being that small. Yeah, I will 100% we talked a lot about, I forgotten that I we kind of struggled. Because I was like, why are you, why do you not care about him? Like Jack when he was an infant, like, less than six, seven months, I was like, Why do you not care like you don't interact with him like you don't do any, like you hold him and you whatever, but like he doesn't do anything. Like, you know, you're so ready for him to get to this, or he wanted to, like, come with you and throw the football and, you know, play, yeah, um, no, it literally, like it does not bother me at all, because I can see him say, I don't miss it. I don't miss Jack being that small now. I will miss him being right, like he is right now. Million percent, yeah, oh, 100% miss this, yeah. But it's this different for you, like he's at a very, just like he's at a very, like, pestering age. And it's, it's learning, it's the definition of being two, three. He is learning boundaries, yeah, how and where to push and like that is just what he's doing. Yeah, every minute of every day, literally.

Unknown Speaker  23:52  
But anyways, yeah, back to your original question. I think that's what I'm what's been my biggest thing is because when you have one kid, you can tag team, if somebody can take the kid and you get a break, right? Yeah? And, well, there's no break now it's we. Our break is we both take one, yeah? And while that's different than the whole, you know, we can never clock out thing, and because I think that's it, it's like, I want my break, but I'm like, well, he doesn't get one, so I don't want to take the break, because he doesn't really, he really doesn't get one like double time. You've got your job and you've got us. So, um,

Unknown Speaker  24:29  
yeah, I think we're just kind of figuring that out and how to kind of do that. We were able to, we left the kids for the first time, like both of them, this past weekend, because we did have an anniversary five years. Yeah, nobody knows. Social media does not know

Unknown Speaker  24:48  
that is this, this, this age of life. We literally, we were laying in bed at like, 10 o'clock, and I was like, Oh my gosh, I didn't post. And he was like, you want to do it tomorrow? And I was like, Yes. And then neither was posted, and neither.

Unknown Speaker  25:00  
Next day, whatever it's for us. Should we talk about your anniversary gift that I got you? Yeah, okay, listen, I'm gonna, I'm gonna explain it. Okay, you explained it, and then

Unknown Speaker  25:14  
tell the truth of what actually happened? No, I'm gonna tell the truth. Okay, we were sitting at breakfast and we were just talking about where we're gonna go for our date, whatever. And Jeremiah says, I got you a present. Let's folks, let's keep in mind as she tells her story, what did we just talk about? What is literally the whole conversation been about needing a break out. Yeah. All right, so continue, but continue. I

Unknown Speaker  25:41  
literally just said it feeling guilty because you don't want to take the break from the other Yeah, but, but that is the person wants to give Sure. Okay, you know my love Lady, my love language is good, please, just let me explain it. We're breakfast. He says, I have a gift for you, whatever. This is our actual anniversary, like may 30. This is on this day. And I said, Okay, what is it? They don't matter.

Unknown Speaker  26:05  
Okay? And he said, I we're gonna go to dinner. We'd already planned to go dinner. We had people lined up to watch them. And, um, he said, we're gonna go to dinner and I'm gonna drop you off at like, the, not one of the nicest hotels in Birmingham, and you're gonna have the whole night to yourself. You get, you know, you can order, order dinner in, watch movies, get a full night's sleep, whatever, and then we'll come pick you up, like me, the boys will come pick you up in the morning, and we'll go to breakfast. And I was like,

Unknown Speaker  26:35  
in my mind, I was

Unknown Speaker  26:37  
like, I don't know, like, what did I say? Because, first of all, extremely kind, okay, like that is so sweet, very thoughtful, very selfless. But I was like, it's our anniversary. I don't want to spend our anniversary alone in a hotel room, like, totally alone, because I have been saying, I just want some sleep, like by myself and so to in your mind, like, I see we're coming from like that was very kind, but it's our anniversary, I was like, and the guilt, there was no way that I was gonna go on mine and your anniversary. Go spend it by myself, when I knew you were at home by yourself, with both kids doing bedtime and all the things I'd have been good, yeah. I was like, no freaking chance that's happening. And our kid is nine weeks old. I was like, I cannot spin that away from him already.

Unknown Speaker  27:35  
I was like, You and taken come like, we'll leave Jack. I don't care. And he was like, What's the point of that? And I was like, change the scenery. I don't know.

Unknown Speaker  27:45  
So yeah, I was not gonna smell that by myself and on our nursery and leave you with both of them.

Unknown Speaker  27:54  
I'm very kind,

Unknown Speaker  27:56  
but I couldn't mentally do it.

Unknown Speaker  27:59  
So home, you should learn to receive better. We both need to learn to receive better. That is true. I'm a terrible receiver. Yes, you are. Well, that's another story about why, but

Unknown Speaker  28:12  
yeah, you are, why? What? Because you don't leave any room for giving.

Unknown Speaker  28:19  
What do you mean? What does that mean? You just see something you want and go buy it. You're the worst. That's not always true. Pretty true, not always pretty. If it's like sub

Unknown Speaker  28:31  
200 ID,

Unknown Speaker  28:34  
nothing above that.

Unknown Speaker  28:37  
Yeah, you're so weird about what you want and what you do think is worth it and not worth it. So it's like, I can never tell, like, you don't have, yeah, that scale is a little off, yeah? Like you can't, I don't know you're I Savannah wants a peloton bats, if anyone's a mouse, a peloton, a tread, a tread, not the bike. Sorry, we'll return the bike. If you send the bike, that's not good cycling. Oh, no, you get up there on the bike. I shake it. It's not like does it feel? Yeah, ship to No, not

Unknown Speaker  29:12  
getting my address set on here. But if you want to do that, if you want to ship it, let me know, and I'll Can I tell you that a peloton tread has been on my mental dream board for they're

Unknown Speaker  29:24  
so expensive. They're so expensive. Think about the joy. Think about the logistical nightmare that it would undo of working out because I could. So why does this? Why does the tread do that? Because I get the hike.

Unknown Speaker  29:40  
That's it. It's hiking. And I love that. I can say that because there's no way around it.

Unknown Speaker  29:46  
I mean, there's no way around like, I can't hike on the floor in here. I can't just walk up and down the street

Unknown Speaker  29:53  
that incline, baby and the boot camps. Have you seen the compression one is like, 6000 Yeah.

Unknown Speaker  30:00  
Not that one. I'm not that fancy. I just want the basic that one's like three grand, yeah, I know. But then, yeah, our

Unknown Speaker  30:09  
gym ownership is $20 a month. How many months is it to make up that? Well, you get you, I told you this, and you have to pay for it, yeah, yeah. What is that? It's a great business model from peloton, yeah, how much is it from peloton? How much is the monthly like, 40 bucks? You're kidding. It's more than a gym, yeah, because you're paying trainers, it's more than an entire gym. Because you're trainers, you could go and have 100 treadmills. You're gonna pay more. You're paying trainers for like, classes and programs and like, are they, like, always updated and new? Yes, like daily, literally every single day they're posted, oh my goodness. And they release programs like, every so often, listen peloton. I mean, the best shape of my life, right before I had to screw that.

Unknown Speaker  31:02  
Anyways, 120

Unknown Speaker  31:05  
Yeah. Anyways, um, please. Or if you've bought pellets home before, and you know, 10 years of a gym membership just in the tread, not, how many years have I been using it, though the subscription right after I had Jack? So what? Almost two years at least, I've been consistent. How much more proof do you need that I would use it?

Unknown Speaker  31:27  
I'll build you a gym.

Unknown Speaker  31:30  
Sure. What do you think? How much like mentally do you think that would just change your whole life

Unknown Speaker  31:35  
to have a gym or to have a peloton tread, the tread and the gym?

Unknown Speaker  31:40  
I don't even know what that would do for me. I wish I could get put into words you would never go back to the gym. It would heal me. It would heal you. Yeah? All right, folks, well, if you want to heal Savannah to $3,000 fee, think about how much counseling is going to be.

Unknown Speaker  31:58  
Yeah? This avoids counseling. Okay, that's good. It might

Unknown Speaker  32:02  
I just get on there with my trainer, Rebecca. Oh, my God, that's her name.

Unknown Speaker  32:07  
Oh, my goodness. So basically, we could pay the money and I could be healed and get in great shape. Pay the money I get healed, and so he still have to pay for the gym.

Unknown Speaker  32:22  
I'm thinking that's some great man. Look logistically, it would, it would solve a lot of challenges. Thank you. Thank you. It would. It really would. Because how long are they? Like, 40 minutes, 3030, to 45 or like my Atari workouts for right now, they have little workouts for five minutes, all up to 60 minutes. I can pick no way, yeah, so like, you know, yeah.

Unknown Speaker  32:50  
Please, someone, you help me convince everybody. Give me a background,

Unknown Speaker  32:54  
please, please. I'm begging. Oh, we will get it. We'll get it. Gotta mow fuel ones first though. Oh, ours. Ours to send

Unknown Speaker  33:05  
me a mower to mow our lawn, a robot mower, that is so I don't have to actually

Unknown Speaker  33:13  
do it. Yeah, what a time to be alive. Well, what's your most challenging thought about this? About coming out of the newborn, because Tate's still a good baby, but like, he's not a potato anymore, you know, which makes it different too. Yeah, not at all. Um,

Unknown Speaker  33:33  
is it dealing with me?

Unknown Speaker  33:35  
No,

Unknown Speaker  33:36  
it's okay. It's, I think it's,

Unknown Speaker  33:42  
it's not the two kid thing. It's that's, doesn't, that doesn't bother me. It doesn't, it doesn't bother me at all. Like, feeling like we're always dividing and conquering sometimes that's hard for me. Yeah, that's a little tough, but it's, I think it's, I think it's the stage that we're in with Jack right now. Like, that's, yeah, I love it, but it is very mentally challenging, and I'm not even doing it like all day, every day, like I totally sympathy for you in that, in that instance,

Unknown Speaker  34:12  
that, and I think the way that we I was gonna mention this earlier, but I didn't want to interrupt you. I think the way that we get the break right? I think our break now sleep, no, you're not gonna like this answer, but I think that this is just this is it, and when we accept it and look at it this way, then I think our perception will change a little bit. Church,

Unknown Speaker  34:35  
no, while we update them, our break is we don't get a break. Our break is we both take one, and we, like, enjoy time with those with that one, and we just do, like, Tate's sleeping, and you're holding him in the rocker, like you just, that's what you do with him. And you don't try to get things done. You just do it. And if you have Jack, then, like, I see what you're saying. I see what you're saying. I think that's a little harder for me, because, like, I.

Unknown Speaker  35:00  
That's my day. So, like, What do you mean? That's not a that's not a break to me to just, like, have one of them and do stuff, because that's every day for me, but it's not two, yeah, but like, do you see how for you, that kind of is a break? Because, like, that's a break from your work. Like, that's a break from working. Like you come home to have one of your kids, yeah? Like, for me, that's that's not doing anything differently. It's just that I have one kid versus two kids. I'm just doing the same thing, like you still get the mental break from your from growing green by spending time with one kid,

Unknown Speaker  35:39  
right? No, yes, no, maybe. So yeah, like, it's just, it's harder. I think it's just

Unknown Speaker  35:47  
harder for me. I don't know. I think that's just, I mean, I don't know there's balance, there's something. I know it's just the life of that, yes, the life you choose, right? I mean, it's the life of stay, stay at home. Like parenting and like, that is, we've had

Unknown Speaker  36:06  
this conversation. You have to, like, we have to figure out, what is it for you that, like, drives and it's like, for you, fitness and gym is a big thing. So it's like, how do we, how do we build a lot of positives around this to help get through this chat, like this time, because it's not, it's not you don't like your kids, right? It's not you don't love your kids. No, it's just anybody, but, like, anybody would struggle, yeah? Because, I mean, I think it's a big enough change, like the two kids, whatever, like, they're going through this change, but I'm going through this change, and so I'm trying to figure out how to take care of myself, because they need me the best that I can be. That's not anything less than that's not fair to them. They didn't sign up for a, you know, psychotic mom, yeah, can't, you know, take care of herself. So

Unknown Speaker  36:55  
I think that's just what we're trying to do, is figure out how we can best take care of ourselves, to take care of them, because I don't care what anyone says, like you, it's cliche, and it seems silly, like you cannot effectively pour from an empty cup. And so I think we're just trying to figure out how to do that in this stage of life.

Unknown Speaker  37:16  
It's ever changing, yeah, like, literally, day to day, something changes. But overall, we're, overall, we are. We are progressing. Well, you're running the race. Well, hour by hour, yeah, I wouldn't say we're running it well, I might be hobbling a little bit, no, but I'm moving forward. We're jogging the race. We're not sprinting. I don't know that I'm even I don't even know that I'm briskly walking,

Unknown Speaker  37:46  
but I'm you're not giving yourself enough credit. I just were

Unknown Speaker  37:52  
waking up every day,

Unknown Speaker  37:55  
and that one foot in front of the other is progress, one foot in front of the other. So yeah,

Unknown Speaker  38:02  
well, we went all over the place, but I hope you get the gist of it, at least if you're in this stage of life, have you gone through it? Would love feedback. Share with other people your experiences. That's really what we're trying to do, like we're sharing our stuff. Like this is all real. I know we're not the only ones on the planet going through it. Maybe in a year we'll come back and gonna be tired. We'll listen to this, and maybe we can update it with some Yeah, extra things we've learned, yeah, about how to take care of yourselves while you're figuring out how to, you know, make this transition. Yep, how to navigate too. So yeah, well, all right, boys and girls, thank you for listening. If you missed the equip registration on May 30,

Unknown Speaker  38:45  
too bad you can't get it for 1250 anymore, but you can get in for, I think, 20 bucks, I think, is what he goes up to now. So 15 or 20 bucks what he goes up to with code GG 50. Use your promo code there and get in, because it's gonna be before you know it. And we'll talk more in the more in the more about that. You heard our interview with Chris. He gave some really cool stuff. We also got together the trades coming up together trades. Calm, that's August the 14th to the 16th. I believe in Savannah, Georgia, we're gonna have a great time over there. It's not a huge town. We're gonna walk a lot of places. You can fly in there. You can Uber everywhere, come to the come to the conference for two days, two half days, and then go out and enjoy sight seeing. I'm so excited to go, but I'm like, kind of sad, because one time I went to Savannah and I bought a sweatshirt that said that on it. And now people think it's weird, like, I just wear a sweatshirt around my name on it, and they have these really cute hats. It's a salve on them, and I really want one.

Unknown Speaker  39:42  
Yeah, you're little self indulged, but it's cute. They are, they are. I think I'm gonna have to do it.

Unknown Speaker  39:50  
Maybe we'll see. Well, yes, I'm once again asking for your financial support, as Bernie Sanders would say, what send the peloton to this address? Don't.
