SPEAKER_02 0:00

My new place is finally starting to come along.

SPEAKER_01 0:03

My baby is screaming his head off.

SPEAKER_02 0:06

This is we don't relate.

SPEAKER_01 0:08

At all. I just said that. And I think he stopped.

SPEAKER_02 0:12

I know. Before we start recording, I could hear him crying. And we are recording virtually, so that means I could hear him rooms away over the phone.

unknown 0:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 0:21

Which is kind of wild.

SPEAKER_01 0:22

He, mind you, the one that was crying is usually more emotional, but his cries are never that like heavy. So that was breaking my heart a little bit because he's a bit of a drama queen.

SPEAKER_02 0:35

Yeah, those cries sounded like it came from like the stomach, like from within.

SPEAKER_01 0:40

Oh yeah. Those are defin his face has got to be red right now.

SPEAKER_02 0:43

There's no way it's not a light cry. That was whole body cry.

SPEAKER_01 0:50

Yeah. Sorry if you hear him crying or being really bad parents and having them cry it out.

SPEAKER_02 0:55

So it's a new technique, right? Not to like everyone, but for you guys.

SPEAKER_01 0:59

Yes. It's like it's one of those things that I said I was never gonna do because I feel like it's like barbaric to have your kids like crying and like not helping them. But we've tried something else and like it was fine, but like just being two of them, I think it just gets to the point where like it's gotta happen.

SPEAKER_02 1:24

So do they ever like egg each other on? Like when one starts crying, the other one starts crying, or are they pretty much?

SPEAKER_01 1:30

Yes, especially when they're like almost asleep. Oh gosh, but like once they're like asleep, they usually don't wake each other if they cry. But the pediatrician said it's okay for them to cry, like just let it happen.

SPEAKER_02 1:47

I might mean they they have good lungs, right? They can cry it out.

SPEAKER_01 1:51

Can you hear them?

SPEAKER_02 1:52

I did hear something, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:54

He started again.

SPEAKER_02 1:55

Well, I remember last week our big topic for you was the lack of sleep. Yes, tell me, has that changed at all? Has it gotten better, worse?

SPEAKER_01 2:04

How is this like they are sleeping through the night now? Like we're not waking up to do bottles and diaper changes. We did kind of cut it out cold turkey, which was like wait, you cut out a bottle in the middle of the night, just out because like I said, we were letting them cry it out, so we didn't go in there until the morning. And so the first night was tough. Second night was a little bit better, and then by the third night, they didn't wake up at all.

SPEAKER_03 2:36

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 2:37

So like they'll wake up a little bit, but it's easy for them to get back to sleep, which is good. So we're sleeping through the night, but I'm not having to get up to like rock them back to sleep, which is nice. However, now that they're sleeping through the night, their naps are terrible.

SPEAKER_03 2:54

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 2:55

They used to have like two-hour naps in their crib, and now it's like 30 minutes to an hour, and then we're awake, and then I have to hold them for the rest of their nap because there's no way they're getting away with a 30-minute nap. That's just not gonna happen. So that's the next order of business. But as long as we're sleeping through the night, I can deal.

SPEAKER_02 3:14

With them sleeping through the night, are you sleeping more through the night too, or do you still wake up a lot?

SPEAKER_01 3:18

I'm still waking up a lot, but like I'm going to sleep faster. Like, so I'm waking up because I think I don't know. I'm maybe it's because I'm like worried about them or whatever, but I'm like waking up a million times. Like, if they do cry, I will wake up. But even if they're not, I'll just like I don't know, my dreams have been wild. And I don't know if it's because I'm like worried about them, but I'm waking up more often, but I'm going to sleep faster. Like I'm not having to rock a baby for an hour. So I can like stay in bed all night, which has been nice.

SPEAKER_02 3:55

Yeah. Do you feel like uh you're moving in the right direction, or do you feel like it's been pretty stagnant? Like, do you think it'll get better in the next couple weeks?

SPEAKER_01 4:03

Or I think so. I think right now they're both in the middle of teething pretty hard. They're I think their front two top teeth are coming in, and so I think that's hitting them pretty hard right now. So I think once those teeth come out and like pop through, I think they're gonna be okay.

SPEAKER_02 4:21

And they're both crawling now, or is it still just the the one?

SPEAKER_01 4:25

He's getting better at crawling, like he's starting to get up on his knees and move a little bit more, so we're getting there.

SPEAKER_02 4:32

Ah, very cute. What about you? Have you done anything notable over the week or just being mom?

SPEAKER_01 4:39

Be a mom.

SPEAKER_02 4:40

Being a mom. All right.

SPEAKER_01 4:42

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 4:43

There you have it. The last week of March, first week of April, sleep deprivation and being a mom.

SPEAKER_01 4:49

I know. We'll see.

SPEAKER_02 4:53

Well, for your boy.

SPEAKER_01 4:55

All right. Tell me what you got.

SPEAKER_02 4:57

Yeah. I well, the trip ended a couple weeks ago at this point. So I've been on Tinder, Hinge, Bumble, and I'm like, I'm gonna talk to anyone and everyone. So I talked to this one girl. Let's call her K Girl because her name starts with a K.

SPEAKER_03 5:12

All right.

SPEAKER_02 5:12

So I've been talking to K-girl for about like six days now because it was right after we recorded the other one, right? It was like the day after I matched with her and we started talking, and we FaceTime like two times. All right. And we FaceTime for like about an between an hour and an hour and a half. It seems like good conversation. We laugh, we have fun. And uh, I I just have a a question for you seeing as how how did how did you meet your husband?

SPEAKER_01 5:42

We met on Omegle a long time ago. Omegle is now no longer a thing, so wow, so they shut it down, which they should have done, how but you know, for the memes.

SPEAKER_02 5:57

All right, so I feel like you would probably lean more towards a yes, but when on a dating app, if you if you exchange numbers and FaceTime, like do would you count that as a date, or is that just like an icebreaker? What is that?

SPEAKER_01 6:12

Okay. I'm very opinionated when it comes to things like this. My husband and I were long distance, right? So our whole way of communicating was like through FaceTime. And like, well, actually, back then it was UVO and Skype.

SPEAKER_02 6:29

Skype. I don't even know what UVU is.

SPEAKER_01 6:31

Oh, it was like Skype. And so our whole means of communicating was like video chat. But then we would have like dates where we would like eat the same dinner or watch a movie together, or I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 6:50

Oh, that's kind of cute. That's cool.

SPEAKER_01 6:52

Right. So I would consider doing that a date. Like there was one time I bought it was like Valentine's Day and I ordered him a heart-shaped pizza to his house.

SPEAKER_02 6:59

Whoa. Yeah. And then like he had that while you guys were like watching a movie on FaceTime.

SPEAKER_01 7:06

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 7:08

Okay, so that is like a date date. That is good.

SPEAKER_01 7:11

Right. So like just talking for an hour, I would not consider that a date. But if you did something, then I would consider it a date.

SPEAKER_02 7:19

So if we both had the same dinner, like coincidentally, would that be a date or no?

SPEAKER_01 7:23

I mean, if you were like on the phone, but usually dates you have to like plan. So like coincidentally, maybe not.

SPEAKER_03 7:30

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 7:31

But if you were like, oh, I'm making burgers tonight, you should make burgers and we can like talk.

SPEAKER_03 7:37

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 7:37

Then I would consider that kind of a date. But like just talking for an hour, we talk for an hour on the phone sometimes. Is that a date?

SPEAKER_02 7:44

No, but we didn't meet on a dating app. So I don't I don't know if where does she live?

SPEAKER_01 7:50

Could you easily go see her?

SPEAKER_02 7:52

Yeah, she lives like nine miles away.

SPEAKER_01 7:54

Okay. So then it's definitely not a date.

SPEAKER_02 7:57

Which is an upgrade from the other from um Algor, who lives like 400 miles away or 300.

SPEAKER_01 8:04

You're right.

SPEAKER_02 8:05

So that's good. We're moving in the right direction.

SPEAKER_01 8:08

That is correct. Yes.

SPEAKER_02 8:10

So yeah, that's exciting. I did that also. So I moved back to my homeland like a couple weeks ago, and I'm tying up loose ends with that. Uh having to go over to my previous place of residency. And it's really awkward because obviously, like does your brother still live there? He does with his girlfriend. And like I was going to get stuff today, and I was I was being really nice. I was like, hey man, I know it's a second, it's technically not my house. I'm gonna come over and like drop off the key if that's okay, and like grab some loose end stuff, like just miscellaneous closet stuff. And he like didn't even come out and say hi or anything. It was it was really weird. Like eventually I asked him to come out because I was like, hey, I got questions like is this stuff yours? Is that stuff yours? Right. And uh he did come out and we we talked a little bit, but it I don't know, it just makes me feel like I did something wrong, and I know I don't want to allow to talk about it, but if anyone did anything wrong, yeah, I don't want to air out our dirty laundry, but I know I know some things that he considered that I did wrong, but it just it feels like at this point in time, having that be like almost a month ago, it feels like it should have like brushed over by now, but it's still about this? I think so. I mean I don't I don't think I it was we can cut it out. So it's just getting my stuff there. I still have like random like when I was like 20 to 23, I collected Nintendo stuff like crazy, and I have all sorts of like Pokemon plush and Mario plush, and that's all in one closet. So that's literally all I have left in like my like the house or the old place I live in. So I need to go over there one more time and just get all that stuff because it is like literally a carload of just stupid plush. Like at this point, I'm like, wow, I really wasted money on that.

SPEAKER_01 9:59

But Nintendo Bros.

SPEAKER_02 10:01

Yeah, that was a thing.

SPEAKER_01 10:03

How's the car doing?

SPEAKER_02 10:04

It's funny you ask that. So did I tell you that it failed inspection?

SPEAKER_01 10:08

No, I'm not shocked.

SPEAKER_02 10:12

Yeah, that joint failed inspection and they actually joinked the um the color inspection label off. So now I'm riding around with no inspection label, and now I live like 20 minutes away from work, so it's like really scary. And now my registration, so you have inspection and then you have registration. My registration expired March 2026, so now I'm riding on a dirty registration and inspection.

SPEAKER_01 10:37

Yeah, and you can't get a new registration without an inspection, right?

SPEAKER_02 10:41

So if there's anything I should bleep out, it is it's the cards because they can come and get me now, but it's fine.

SPEAKER_01 10:48

Oh god. Well, I don't know what to say about that.

SPEAKER_02 10:52

Right, yeah, we'll get it fixed eventually. One more random question though, for you. So it was my favorite question that you asked as soon as we ended the podcast last year.

SPEAKER_01 11:01

No, I don't know. So I had to bring it back.

SPEAKER_02 11:03

Yeah, I had to bring it back. Uh, you asked the question, do you wash your lower body in the shower? Yes. And let's talk about it for a moment.

SPEAKER_01 11:09

Okay. I have seen this question going around, and people are asking if specifically men, but I'm sure there's women out there too. They're saying that they don't wash their lower body in the shower. They let the water run down, the soapy water run down, and call that a day. Like they're not washing the bottom of their feet, they're not washing their butt crack, they're not washing their legs, they're just letting the water and the soap come on down. And so I felt like I had to ask that because I really am judging if you don't wash the lower half of your body.

SPEAKER_02 11:42

It seems it just seems odd to me. Like you're obviously washing the upper half with a purpose, right? You're getting the soap, you're setting it up, and then you're like spreading it around. Why would like why do the rules change when all of a sudden you go below the waist?

SPEAKER_01 11:56

Why are you stopping?

SPEAKER_02 11:57

Yeah. It doesn't make sense to me. And you know what? Like, I'll be honest, I didn't used to like scrub my feet and in between my toes and stuff. I kind of just let it be. But then one time someone someone like smelled my feet or like or like got a whiff of my smelly feet, and then every day since I had made sure to scrub my feet like hardcore because I'm like, I that's disgusting. I don't want to be known for smelly feet. No, but oh my gosh, I I've have always you know washed my my legs the normal way. I just why would you not?

SPEAKER_01 12:36

Well, I feet get smelly, but also your private area gets stinky.

SPEAKER_03 12:46

Yeah, like yeah, we need some GLC there.

SPEAKER_01 12:49

I don't think I don't understand. But then, okay, for women, vaginas are self-cleaning, right?

SPEAKER_02 12:59

And this is news to me, but I'll go with it.

SPEAKER_01 13:01

Like the inside of a vagina is self-cleaning, like it has a specific pH. Okay, okay that like cleans everything. So you don't need to wash up there. You just have to wash the outside.

SPEAKER_03 13:14

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 13:16

And I think people use the self-cleaning as a you don't need to wash it.

SPEAKER_02 13:22

So it's women trying to take shortcuts in the shower, is what you're saying.

SPEAKER_01 13:26

I'm sure there are some. But yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I just people gotta stink, right? I just and you're telling me you don't ever wake up some days and you're like, oh, I smell I need a shower.

SPEAKER_02 13:42

Honestly, when the only time that's happened is like when I'm on vacation and and I haven't showered in like two days or three days, and I'm like, whoo, I gotta hop in, you know?

SPEAKER_01 13:54

No, there are definitely times where where I like wake up and I definitely could like tell I was like hot in my sleep, and I'm like, I feel sticky and gross, I need a shower.

SPEAKER_02 14:02

Okay, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 14:03

There are how are there people who just don't are you an everyday showerer? I so listen, women have a long shower experience. You shower, but you an every everything shower. Do you know everything showers? That's not an everyday shower.

SPEAKER_03 14:20

Oh, oh, because you only do your hair like the body, okay.

SPEAKER_01 14:24

Yeah, yeah, but then you have like an every a hair shower, which is like your hair and your body, but then you get like an everything shower, which is like your hair, your body, your your shaving, you're like exfoliating, you're doing the works.

SPEAKER_02 14:37

Hmm. Okay, yeah, that's different with guys. We don't really do that.

SPEAKER_01 14:40

Yeah, you probably just hop in the shower and get it done.

SPEAKER_02 14:42

Yeah, my showers take like four minutes.

SPEAKER_01 14:45

That's insane. Yeah, well, I'll be anything less than like 10 minutes for me is wild.

SPEAKER_02 14:51

I think it was four minutes because back in my old place I had no hot water, so I was in like lukewarm to cold water the whole time, and I'm like, I just gotta do what I gotta do and just get it.

SPEAKER_00 15:02

That's good for your hair though. Cold water. Oh, well, I always end with cold water.

SPEAKER_02 15:07

Okay, good to know. Because now that I'm in the new place, it has like piping hot water, and I have been utilizing that water and loving it.

SPEAKER_01 15:15

Oh yeah. So there's nothing like a warm shower.

SPEAKER_02 15:18

Yeah, it feels really I forgot what it felt like because I've I used to convince myself that I liked showering cold. Now cold, cold or like lukewarm?

SPEAKER_01 15:27

Like cold.

SPEAKER_02 15:28

Wow.

SPEAKER_01 15:29

That's like I think I was just lying to myself.

SPEAKER_02 15:32

I think so too. I mean, there is some benefits, but there yeah, there are.

SPEAKER_01 15:36

But like, I don't know. We used to have a pool in my backyard, and so like summer day out of the pool, you I would hop in the shower and I would always make it cold. I don't know why. I just convinced myself that oh, I'm hot. I need a cold shower. Nah. Get me in a hot shower.

SPEAKER_02 15:55

That's what normal people do.

SPEAKER_01 15:57

I also I also used to hate like hot water showers because I would get too hot and I would find myself like sweating in my shower, and like I feel like that defeats the purpose of the shower.

SPEAKER_02 16:08

Alright, you you like thought too deep about this shower.

SPEAKER_01 16:11

Listen, I've had I've had some experiences. Have do you probably not because this is crazy? Do you ever bring a water bottle in the shower?

SPEAKER_02 16:19

No, but but but but but but when I was like 18, 19, 20 and going through my like drink all the time type phase, I would I would bring a beer in the shower.

SPEAKER_01 16:29

Okay, so it's that it's not totally different, but there was there's something so nice about being in a hot shower and then just drinking cold water. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_02 16:40

Okay, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 16:41

How did we get here?

SPEAKER_02 16:42

We can do a transition. So we're actually gonna be I mean, I could talk about showers all day. We gotta talk about other stuff. Okay, so we're actually gonna be on top of things for once, and we're gonna release an Easter special close to Easter. All right. So this is gonna come out the day after Easter, so I thought it's only fitting to do something um like related to Easter. So I have a handful of traditions here, and being a mom, I want your perspective on what do you want the holiday to be if you can only keep two of these traditions to carry on to your family.

SPEAKER_01 17:20

I got it.

SPEAKER_02 17:21

Okay, so I'm gonna list them off, and then you're gonna tell me and and give me reasons why. So what I came up with is you can have you can paint eggs, you can have the whole hiding eggs in baskets, you can do religious services, you can go to meet the Easter bunny, you can give something up 40 days prior, which is like the Lent thing, and then you can have like the family get together dinner with ham, lamb, eggs, or whatever you usually do, or you can keep the community events like the parades or group hunts.

SPEAKER_01 17:51

Okay. I'm big on egg painting. We are big egg dyeing household. We love to dye an Easter egg.

SPEAKER_02 18:01

I agree, I think it's very fun.

SPEAKER_01 18:02

It is the best. So I'd keep that, and I would also keep hiding the Easter eggs in the baskets. That was maybe my favorite thing was uh finding where my mom put the the Easter eggs in the Easter bunny bunny, sorry.

SPEAKER_02 18:21

Come on now. The Easter bunny put the basket.

SPEAKER_01 18:26

We also had my sister and I each had a golden egg, and then that egg was always like 20 bucks.

SPEAKER_02 18:31

Was it exclusive for just you and your sister, or like could you find your sisters?

SPEAKER_01 18:36

Oh, I could find my well, you get one. Okay, we each had one, but I would say like growing up, uh we went to church often because my grandma was very churchy, and I will say I liked going to the Easter service because they had an egg hunt after so okay, so that's like a blend of the two, like community events and religion. Yeah, parades are there Easter parades.

SPEAKER_02 19:05

I'm not sure. I just figured there would be.

SPEAKER_01 19:08

I don't know. I feel like egg hunts like that can get too crazy, especially for little kids. You have the big kids just like bulldozing and it's just like not fun.

SPEAKER_02 19:17

Like like eight-year-olds absolutely crushing the three-year-olds.

SPEAKER_01 19:22

Dinner is good, but I feel like there's dinner for like every holiday.

SPEAKER_02 19:25

So it doesn't make it unique. No, I always I always really like the the ham on Easter, though. That's my favorite or the ham, depending on how you say it.

SPEAKER_01 19:36

Lent, I don't really care.

SPEAKER_02 19:37

Yeah, I just I have new traditions, and I'm like, I know that's a thing for people.

SPEAKER_01 19:41

It is, and meeting the Easter Bunny. Here's the thing: I will meet Santa every year.

SPEAKER_03 19:47

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 19:48

Easter bunny always looks scary. The Easter Bunny always is terrifying. So I'm okay without meeting the Easter bunny.

SPEAKER_02 19:56

You know what my favorite memory like behind meeting the Easter Bunny is? So one year, me, my mom, and my younger brother, we all went to do like a 5K walk, and it was right around Easter time, so it was like the Easter bunny dash 5K or something, and like the Easter bunny was there, and my mom took a picture of me dapping up the Easter bunny. I remember this picture, yeah, and I was so hype about it, and then I posted it to my IG and my mom commented, like, my bunny's name is Toast. So she commented, Toast is gonna be jealous, and I thought it was awesome. I love I like the butt the Easter bunny, it's just fun. But I agree with you. I definitely think the backbone of Easter is egg painting and then like hiding the basket and the eggs the best. I would definitely keep those two as the tradition. It just feels the most unique to Easter. Like you're not painting anything else like for a different holiday. You're doing different things, you're covering pumpkins or you're like making cookies, but you're not painting something, I feel.

SPEAKER_01 20:58

I would agree. Bring back arts and crafts.

SPEAKER_02 21:02

What is our practice for wrapping these things up again?

SPEAKER_01 21:06

Um, I'm supposed to sing a song, but I don't like it. I'm gonna agree with that.

SPEAKER_02 21:11

You want to yawn us out of here then?

SPEAKER_01 21:14

Too late. I can't restart. You sing today. You do it.

SPEAKER_02 21:19

Here comes Peter Cottontail, up and down the bottom.

SPEAKER_01 21:23

Oh, hoppin' down the bunny trail.

SPEAKER_02 21:25

Oh, oh, you you tell me how it's done then. I don't know how.

SPEAKER_01 21:28

I don't actually know the rest of the song. That's really all the song I know. Let's see. Here comes Peter Cottontail, hopping down the bunny trail, hippity, hoppity, hippity, hoppin'. Easter's on its way. Bringing every girl and boy baskets full of Easter joy, things to make your Easter bright and gay.

SPEAKER_02 21:46

Whoa, we can end it there.

SPEAKER_01 21:48

He's got jelly beans for Tommy, colored eggs for Sister Sue. There's an orchid for your mommy and an Easter bonnet, too.

SPEAKER_02 21:55

Oh, you gotta love it.

SPEAKER_01 21:57

Anyway, Peter Cottontails come in. So is the Easter bunny?

SPEAKER_02 22:16

SPEAKER_01 22:28

Goodbye.
