Who Let Us Start A Podcast?

Welcome to the chaos! We're Ian & Jaz, married millennial with three kids and way too many stories.

We did it.

Yes, we

Speaker 2 0:13

finally did it.

Speaker 0:14

We started a podcast.

Speaker 2 0:15

And I'm not sure who let us start a podcast.

Speaker 0:18

Yeah. Or why we even did it. No, but

Speaker 2 0:22

we're gonna get into the why. Yeah. We're still, we're figuring that out too, of like, what is this podcast going to become? Yeah. We felt called, right,

Speaker 0:31

Especially with a lot of going on in the world right now and, um. We don't claim to have it all figured out, but we believe that we do have a voice and a story that's worth hearing. Absolutely. Um, alongside of being able to help those that are in similar situations with, uh, as us. I mean, we've been married 10 years.

Speaker 2 0:52

We're coming up on 10 years, babe. Yeah.

Speaker 0:54

Three kiddos.

Speaker 2 0:56

Yeah, man.

Speaker 0:58

So this is gonna be fun. I just wanna have fun. It's gonna be great.

Speaker 2 1:00

Absolutely. We are coming up on 10 years of marriage. Mm-hmm. And we started dating in 2011.

Speaker 1:09

Wow.

Speaker 2 1:10

Yeah.

Speaker 1:11

Yeah. You were a freshman.

Speaker 2 1:12

Yeah. So what I, my math isn't math. I am, I am not the math person in the relationship, so I always a little bit over 14 years.

Speaker 1:22

Almost been together almost 14 years. Married 10 in, uh, starting on September 26th. It'll be 10 years. Did you have to think about that? No, I didn't. Oh, I did not. I saw it in your eyes. No, it's, if you're listening to this's, it's tattooed on me. Man. You're listening

Speaker 2 1:36

and you're not watching our interaction. Ian just had a look on its face of like, no, I'm a little uncertain when our anniversary.

Speaker 1:46

No, I heard it. I

Speaker 2 1:47

saw it.

Speaker 1:47

It's tattooed on me, man. I know, I know what it is.

Speaker 2 1:50

Right. But it's in Roman numerals. I don't even, I don't

Speaker 1:54

You struggled to read your own tattoo. I can't

Speaker 2 1:55

read Roman numerals. I don't know why we got Roman numerals. I,

Speaker 2:00

because it looks nice and classy. I

Speaker 2 2:01

literally cannot tell you

Speaker 2:02

it's clean.

Speaker 2 2:03

I can tell you what it says because I remember our wedding date. But if you, if somebody just like wrote that down on a piece of paper Yeah. And handed it to me, I would be like. I don't know what that, I have no idea what that is. I

Speaker 2:15

also kind of remember it too, because it's my cousin's birthday as well.

Speaker 2 2:19

Okay.

Speaker 2:20

So it's like it's 26th. Shout out Mika.

Speaker 2 2:23

I mean, yeah, happy, happy birthday, but also it's our wedding.

Speaker 2:27

That's that's true.

Speaker 2 2:27

Like that should, that should be why you remember. I

Speaker 2:30

remember both of'em. Okay. That's so

Speaker 2 2:32

funny to me. 20 days after my birthday, every birthday, because it's my cousin's birthday, it's not because it's the one of the most. Important days of our lives.

Speaker 2:40

It's 20 days after my birthday too, so I, I remember it that way as well.

Speaker 2 2:43

And it's a week after my parents' parents' anniversary too. I never knew that.

Speaker 2:48

Sorry, Jeff and Cheryl. I never knew that, that it was a week after.

Speaker 2 2:52

Wow. I love them. So you didn't wish'em happy anniversary?

Speaker 2:56

Absolutely not. I forget. Yikes. I'll make sure I do it this year. I put it in my calendar. Yeah. I'm sorry. Jeff and Cheryl, love you. Anyway, so, uh, welcome to Who Let Us Adult, this podcast. Really, uh, like we mentioned before, we don't really kind of know where it's gonna go. We have a lot, a ton of topics, um, ranging from nostalgia, you know, two thousands memories, moments, things that we wish we would've told our younger selves.

Speaker 2 3:25

Marriage Yes. Parenting that we do not have figured out whatsoever. And that's really the gist of it, is like. Everything in our life that we don't have figured out.

Speaker 3 3:36

Yeah.

Speaker 2 3:37

And then bringing other people along with us, I hope there's other people out there that feel the same. Yeah. Like we're in our thirties,

Speaker 3 3:42

right.

Speaker 2 3:43

And I wake up and I'm like, this is chaotic. Life. Life. This is so chaotic. Chaotic. And am I supposed to know what to do? Am I supposed to, is there like a book, a playbook that comes with.

Speaker 3:59

It's called the Bible.

Speaker 2 4:01

Amen.

Speaker 4:02

Amen. That's another thing. Touche, with us being huge, um, and Avid, avid Christians, um, faith is gonna be a part of this podcast as well. You know, it's a big part of our lives. And, um, we, like I said, we had a call, a call to action from, um, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ to do this. So, you know, we're gonna glorify the Lord in any way. Amen. That we can. Amen. And, um. And like you'd mentioned, that's, that's the playbook right there. We study, we study the playbook. I

Speaker 2 4:34

stand corrected. Woohoo. I love you being the leader of our home, babe. Come on, preach. Faith is a huge part of our life. It is our foundation. However, that's also an area that we are still figuring out.

Speaker 3 4:48

Yeah,

Speaker 2 4:49

we are still growing in. We are not perfect and there is no perfect Christian, but that is an area that, you know, we wanna invite people to come on that journey with us. Where. We can uncover, spiritual truths and grow in our faith together and just evolve. Absolutely Do you wanna talk to him about like, who are we?

Speaker 5:08

I'm 35 and Jasmine is 33.

Speaker 2 5:13

34th again with the face. That's so funny. Any question, mark, you are not watching this and you're listening. Ian just. I added a question mark on the end of how old his wife is. 33. I was born in 92. 33.

Speaker 5:29

Yeah. 30. I see. I'm not, at least I'm not wrong. I, it's not like I threw out like she I know, but the fact that you were

Speaker 2 5:34

like 33 question mark.

Speaker 5:38

Okay. So. I'm 35. Jasmine is 33. We have three beautiful kids. Eight, almost four, and, uh, six months, almost seven months now. I said six months while I was, I was thinking of, okay, before you judge me, you

Speaker 2 5:53

know what? Let me do the, I'll do the roll. Call all you next time.

Speaker 5:57

Let it ride. We, um. We, we we're millennials that feel like we're hitting that, that spark. Now, when our kid comes home from school and is like six seven, we're like, what does that mean?

Speaker 2 6:09

Oh my gosh,

Speaker 6:10

Speaker 2 6:22

we heard our son's. Slang. I'm like, it was

Speaker 6:25

two, two days in a new school comes home sensitivity and six, seven. I'm what? I don't understand that.

Speaker 2 6:31

Absolutely, absolutely. Wild. I

Speaker 6:33

have to look at'em with a question mark. Is that what our parents looked at us like?

Speaker 2 6:36

I'm sure. Yeah. I mean, what did we say when we were young?

Speaker 6:43

I have no idea. I,

Speaker 2 6:44

I really don't remember what our slang was. I know

Speaker 6:47

this like our, I know our raise the

Speaker 2 6:49

roof. I don't know why I went to that.

Speaker 6:54

I, whoa. I know like our slang now, but I don't know. Yeah. But

Speaker 2 6:59

what was our slang back then? I don't know. Maybe somebody can,

Speaker 7:04

I don't this out like other

Speaker 2 7:05

millennials in your mid thirties and not elder millennials because Fun fact. Do you wanna hear? Yeah. Do you wanna hear this? I would

Speaker 7:14

love to hear your fun fact.

Speaker 2 7:16

I'm, I'm closer to Gen Z than I am a true millennial. And that like low key

Speaker 7:24

messes with you.

Speaker 2 7:24

Messes with you, because I've always been like, I'm a millennial. I'm a millennial. But then I was like, wait, I was born in 92 and Gen Z starts in 94.

Speaker 7:41

Oh, you are real close. Yeah.

Speaker 2 7:44

I'm very, very, very close to Gen

Speaker 7:48

Z.

Speaker 2 7:48

I think I'm called a.

Speaker 7:52

What's the

Speaker 2 7:52

millennial? Ah, I'm a millennial. It

Speaker 7:55

created a word for you. I was a millennial.

Speaker 2 7:59

I'm a millennial,

Speaker 7:59

so me A millennial. True Millennial. Ride or die. Oh, married to a millennial.

Speaker 2 8:04

Yeah.

Speaker 8:07

I can't remember. Like, I'm really thinking hard about some of the things that we said back as, as a,

Speaker 2 8:12

i I can't, I can't think of anything. It's, I am, it's,

Speaker 8:15

it's lit. Lit. Think we did say lit.

Speaker 2 8:18

Yeah, I think, I think Gen Z would,

Speaker 8:20

no, it's ours. No. What

Speaker 2 8:21

I'm gonna say is Gen Z would steal that. They would claim that, and I don't agree with them.

Speaker 8:26

No, that's, that's lit is ours.

Speaker 2 8:30

Okay.

Speaker 8:31

I'm thinking I will fight. Fight you. Gen Zs for that. Anyways,

Speaker 2 8:37

as you can see, if you don't know who we are, you've never interacted with us as a couple. We. Don't take ourselves too seriously. That's like the, the main one. We were the, we like to have fun.

Speaker 8:52

We were the parents that when we had our first kid, it felt like we had our third.

Speaker 2 8:56

Yeah. But we also had the easiest child in the history of easy children. Yeah.

Speaker 9:01

But still like, like we were the parents that like, we didn't care if you washed our hands when like you wash, like held our kid. It was like, yeah, you're fine. Germs are good. Germans, Germans will make him feel better. You know what I mean? Like that's like third, we're

Speaker 2 9:15

just very laid back. Like we're pretty late. Yeah. That's third parent. Yeah. We're pretty laid back. I mean, there were, there were definitely some things that I,

Speaker 9:22

we are two procrastinators that got married.

Speaker 2 9:24

Yeah,

Speaker 9:25

that is, that's a good, amazing

Speaker 2 9:26

way of putting our relationship.

Speaker 9:29

Two procrastinators that got married. Wow. And this is

Speaker 2 9:32

something that we'll dive in.

Speaker 9:34

Yeah.

Speaker 2 9:34

You know, down the line. Mm-hmm. But you talking about us being procrastinators? Mm-hmm. I remember when we first started dating and then got married, there was a while where we struggled to figure out where we were different because we were so similar on a lot of things that now I finally feel like 10 years into being married and, what'd you say? 14 years together total. We're starting to now truly see where we differ.

Speaker 10:04

The similarities, not the, sorry, the differences, not the similarities. Yeah.

Speaker 2 10:07

Yeah. Music was a big one because the older that we got, the more our music started to like separate.

Speaker 3 10:16

Yeah.

Speaker 2 10:17

Which I think is funny. Like when we first started dating, like our music was, we were into like the same types of music and then. We both have very, oh, what's the word I'm looking for? We like a lot. What's, what's that word? When you like a little bit of everything.

Speaker 10:33

Yeah. Variety.

Speaker 2 10:34

Yeah. Okay. Variety works. But there was like a fun better word. Like a more fun word. Anyways, we like a variety. It, it was like a clever word. Oh, for you would bring at the encyclopedia for that one. Like, you know, if you can use both your hands. Ambidextrous. It's ambidextrous, but it's like music if you like all types of music. It's like you're a

Speaker 10:56

cool person.

Speaker 2 10:58

Get with you. Anyways. Variety. As we got older like that, our variety, again, we still have like some things that are in common. We're

Speaker 11:10

turning into old people'cause we don't like new music.

Speaker 2 11:13

Speak for yourself.

Speaker 11:14

Oh, okay. Fair.

Speaker 2 11:15

I ha I, there are some new songs that I have that I download.

Speaker 11:20

K-pop demon hunters is pretty, is pretty lit.

Speaker 2 11:22

Yeah, it really is. So pop my little so pop.

Speaker 11:28
