What if You Can Feel Everything All At Once?

Someone can be turning one, the house can be covered in party prep, and you can still feel like you’re running on fumes. We’re talking about that exact tension: loving your kids hard while also feeling overstimulated, maxed out, and weirdly emotional about how fast the first year flies by. From explosive toddler chaos to the mental math of managing two schedules, we keep it honest about what motherhood actually feels like on an average “we’re fine” day.

We get real about postpartum, especially the version that doesn’t hit right away. Sometimes it shows up months later when you start to feel like yourself again, but your body, hormones, sleep, and routine still don’t match. We talk breastfeeding overstimulation, hot flashes, losing gym time, and why the first year can feel like constant change. If postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, or just plain burnout has ever made you question yourself, you’ll hear your thoughts out loud here.

Because we work in healthcare, we also zoom out. Nursing and pediatrics can humble you fast, and it changes how you see parenting, family dynamics, and health. We swap stories, laugh at the awkward moments, and vent about nursing school culture and workplace favoritism, all while circling back to the same point: you’re not failing, you’re living a lot at once.

Okay,

Birthday Chaos And Mom Life

SPEAKER_01 0:20

we're live.

SPEAKER_00 0:21

All right. All right. Welcome back. Welcome to Momish, your weekly app session. I'm Gabby. I'm Katie. Not Daily.

SPEAKER_01 0:33

Welcome back to our show. We're so glad you're here.

SPEAKER_02 0:37

Today is Chris's birthday.

SPEAKER_01 0:39

Woo! Yes, today is my baby's first birthday. The big one.

unknown 0:43

I'm sad.

SPEAKER_02 0:45

I'm such a sap for birthdays.

SPEAKER_01 0:47

I love a birthday. I am a sap beer person now that I have children, but I used to not give a fuck about birthdays because everybody always treated my birthday like it was every day. So that's so sad. I learned that early on in Gil and I's relationship that you can't not treat a birthday like it's a big thing. Birthdays are a holiday. I'm excited for tomorrow. Yeah. It's gonna be fun. We're having a little party. Well, it's a big party. It's a July 4th slash Crew's first birthday. So big deal, big deal. I'm so excited. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:18

So you've survived one year of being a mom of two.

SPEAKER_01 1:22

I know. It's it's been pretty rough. Not gonna lie. Not gonna lie. Crew said, you know what would add a little spice to this birthday is if I had explosive diarrhoea for two days. He's been shitting nonstop. Gil woke him up this morning, diarrhea all the way up. He's back. Was in the bath when I woke up this morning. Because poor guy. But he's like acting pretty much normal. So I don't know what that's about. But he said, I mean, just that in itself makes me realize that he's not going to be a low-key child. He's also a second child, so I get that. That's the energy I get from him. Because I was like that.

SPEAKER_02 1:59

He's just taking after eating.

SPEAKER_01 2:01

We demand to be seen.

SPEAKER_02 2:03

See, my brother's way more low-key than I am. That's true. He's so and he's much more mature and responsible.

SPEAKER_01 2:10

Yeah, he is very mature and very responsible. Very low-key.

SPEAKER_00 2:14

If we could all just aspire to be like Jordan, he's like 10 years younger than me, but every time I steam my couch, I'm like, dang, this is what Jordan does every week, doesn't he? What steam clean his couch? He does. Oh yeah. I don't know. There's a joke about it.

SPEAKER_02 2:26

His Sunday scaries. Yeah. He steam cleans his couch. I don't know if he actually does, but that's you know he gets the like Sunday scaries hard. So like every Sunday, he's definitely those people, that person that's like, okay, let me do all my laundry, wash all my sheets. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 2:40

I had that this past weekend. He should do like a Sunday reset with Jordan. He should. That would like totally get him some some followers on TikTok.

SPEAKER_00 2:49

Like, come with me to do my Sunday routine. Yeah. I need to see what it is. What entails your routine, Jordan? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 2:56

Sunday with Jordan.

unknown 2:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 2:58

And when the Jack. When the Bills are playing. Oh god. Oh God. He ain't leaving the house unless the plan is to watch football.

SPEAKER_02 3:07

Even then, if it's like a big game, he wants to watch it with a group.

SPEAKER_01 3:10

He wants to watch it alone.

SPEAKER_02 3:11

Which I can respect that. I guess. I mean, five kids. My mom said to me the other day after we watched the Canes game, she was like, I was so overstimulated at your house. Yeah. And I'm like, I mean, that's just the baseline now. Yeah. That's with my life. I've grown to like five kids to do it.

SPEAKER_00 3:29

I'm like, I'm just in the state. Yeah. Yep. And I'm just gonna debrieze.

SPEAKER_01 3:34

I'm in the the state of what are the it's called fight or flight. Uh-huh. Just constant. And it's like stressed.

SPEAKER_00 3:42

Yeah, it's not good.

SPEAKER_01 3:43

I'm at a like I'm at like a seven. Constant. Yeah. When it comes to being overstimulated, not like anger, just like overstimulation. I've all I'm I just like wake up as like a six or seven.

SPEAKER_00 3:53

Just thinking about this is giving me anxiety. Yeah.

unknown 3:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 3:57

Yeah. Gil and I today, just like

Overstimulation With Multiple Kids

SPEAKER_01 4:00

with everything, Noah's being a nut, Cruz being a nut, trying to get everything ready for his party tomorrow. I'm like, I I think I might be good with two kids. I think I might be good. This is actually comfortable. Yeah, I feel like this might be all I can handle.

SPEAKER_00 4:14

I have thought about that where I'm like, this I don't know if I want to go through postpartum again. I understand why people have one kidnap. Y'all, I was gonna be one and done.

SPEAKER_01 4:24

And then that didn't happen, obviously. And now I'm like, my crazy ass wants another one.

SPEAKER_02 4:30

I don't know. I was gonna talk about that. Like, I feel for me though, postpartum the second time around was much easier than the first time around.

SPEAKER_00 4:39

I guess I thought like postpartum would hit, I don't know, like as soon as you got home.

SPEAKER_02 4:46

Mine was way later. No, it was like a week after.

SPEAKER_00 4:48

I feel like mine was three months later.

SPEAKER_02 4:50

Mine was like three, four months. And I think for me, what it was was it in the first three months I was like, oh, I'm breastfeeding, I'm home, like I'm doing all this. Yeah, but then at three months, I'm like, okay, I'm starting to like start to feel like myself again, but I physically don't look like myself. Yeah. And I'm still like navigating so much. And so three, four months is when I started to feel the like the postpartum, I guess.

SPEAKER_01 5:16

I mean, up to a year, you can still have postpartum depression and all of that. Like, I mean, I just kind of feel like the whole year is just kind of a blur. Weird. Yeah, it's a blur for sure. But like for me and the with both, like I felt, I mean, with Noah, it was pretty rough for a few months. And then with Crew, I always feel like in the beginning, it's always the hardest for me because it's like I am such a routine person. I like feeling good. Yeah. And like that takes a big toll out of me mentally when I don't feel like myself. And just, you know, my I really hate like your boobs feeling full. Like, I did not enjoy like I get see, that's yeah, I get very overstimulated by things like that. So like I I don't like be feeling like I'm on a time crunch because I'm always running late. So like I always felt like my boobs were rock hard, you know. And I was just like, I don't know. So getting into a routine with like my body and kind of starting to feel like myself, I felt better. But there is, yeah, there are things now. Like I'm just like, I feel like I'm I still have hot flashes, like where I'm like sweating profusely for no reason. Like I'm inside. Like, why am I killed like had to get his like Milwaukee fan on me a couple weeks ago because I just like could not cool off and it was not even as hot as it is now. Oof. Yeah, so I was like, this is definitely on the side.

SPEAKER_00 6:39

Yeah, I didn't have the hot flashes. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_02 6:42

I did after Charlie, not this time around. No. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_00 6:45

God I don't feel like I had that. I just definitely I think it's when I went back to work. I was like, and I get it now. But here is where it starts. And then not having the routine is really hard for me. Like waking up and not being able to go to the gym right away. Like that has been like my biggest like yeah, whoa, this is throwing me off.

SPEAKER_01 7:03

Yeah. Yeah. It's yeah, it's having to not have my gym time, which has always been like my personal time. And now that's hard. I'm, you know, the expectation is for me to work out in my garage, and it's like 900 degrees in there. Yeah, that's fine. I don't like being that hot when I'm working out. I mean, I know like sweating is good, but it's like no, you're like it's like over. I'm like stagnant. And we've got like six fans in there, it's not enough. And then like Noah comes in there and just like I have to stop every five seconds. So, like, that's been a big thing too. Where it's not like your time. Yeah, it's not my time anymore. And I really feel like I am being robbed of that.

SPEAKER_02 7:44

I will say, I feel like after the first year, it does kind of level out. I do feel like it's getting better in lifestyle because excuse me, I feel like in the first year, every single week is something new. It's like, oh, okay, now we're trying food. Now we're walking, now we're, you know, every single week you're trying to like change what you did the week before. Yeah. Where at a a year, I mean they start to talk, then they're moving more, they're walking, but it's not as like drastic anymore.

SPEAKER_01 8:12

So you can kind of like and their personality and like their moods are not as like manipulate. Obviously, like a toddler's mood is labile as shit, but like they are, you know, it's like if they're teething, they're flipping out, or they, you know, it's just constant they're you know, they're hungry, they're freaking out. They're you know, they're too tired, they're freaking out, which kids do that anyway. But I feel like with newborn babies, they just are like very sensitive to like work the week before it doesn't work.

SPEAKER_02 8:42

But I feel like at a year they start to like get in their routine. And honestly, hot take, but I think once they start walking is easier. Oh, yeah, for sure. But it's like wait till they start walking, like I would rather him. And I'm like, no, walking is so much easier because then they can get from one place to the other without me wondering if he's gonna bonk his head on the floor. Yeah, I I like the walking too.

SPEAKER_01 9:06

I mean, it yeah, I think the only thing with that is like you have to make sure your house is baby proof, but which ours is pretty much baby proofed, but it's hard because Noah can't get through the babyproofing things. So for the most part, she knows how to like do the like the locks and stuff on the on the cabinets, but like the the doorknob ones and stuff. So if I'm in the middle of something, you know, she'll be like, mom, open this door, open the toilet, and I'm like, fuck. You know what I mean? Like I gotta stop anyway. And so it's like certain things they get feel like it still adds like extra stress or extra annoying. But you know, it is what it is. It's the sacrifice we make for our kids. We love them. But I feel like once just kidding, we really do.

SPEAKER_02 9:53

Uh, but yeah, once you have your second, you kind of go into postpartum knowing what to expect. And you're kind of like, Ma. It is what it is.

SPEAKER_00 10:02

Yeah, it took me a while to figure out like it is what it is, just let it go, let it go. It's okay.

SPEAKER_02 10:08

Yeah, it's so much change for you mentally, physically, emotionally, and then just the learning curve of having a baby in that first year. Oh, yeah. That when you have your second, you're kind of like, Meh, the first one's doing great. Right. So I did something right, like you kind of see the like we're good. Result of it, and you're like, yeah, everything else is gonna go into place.

SPEAKER_01 10:29

It'll be like I feel like I was so much more stressed about like, are they getting enough of this? Are they getting enough of that? And like making sure crew gets like nothing

Postpartum Timelines And Body Changes

SPEAKER_01 10:40

like frozen or like a pouch instead, like getting fresh food instead of a pouch. And I'm like, you know what? Fuck it. Fuck it. This is all I can do today. And that was this morning. Was he got some graham crackers and a pouch?

SPEAKER_00 10:55

Yeah, but he's had pizza two days in a row. Yeah, he loves it. Yeah. I'm like, if this is all you're actually eating, I'll I'll take it if you're eating real food. Yeah, whatever. It might not be real foods, dominoes, but I mean, hey.

SPEAKER_01 11:08

I mean, perspective. Did you guys hear about the parents that the kid, the seven-year-old, died of heart failure because he was 255 pounds?

SPEAKER_02 11:15

Oh my god, that is so that's I did not hear about that, but I mean this is my face.

SPEAKER_01 11:21

Yeah. So that kind of makes me feel a little bit better about myself when my kid is like happy and healthy and thriving. I think about these things. Because there are people out there, it's really sad, and it's like, come on, like do better.

SPEAKER_02 11:37

I think my job working in pediatrics keeps me humble as a parent. Because I'm like, y'all. Yeah.

unknown 11:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 11:43

I have it fucking together.

SPEAKER_00 11:45

Yeah. Yep. Even I think about it a lot like with the chronic conditions at work now. I'm like, oh my gosh, I really I don't want to take for granted my own health because these people come in once a month, every two weeks, for like hours at a time getting confused.

SPEAKER_01 12:00

It's like dialysis. Yeah. I mean, I would rather die. Yeah, I'm just saying. Because like it's three days a week and it's like a four or five hour session. And like, how do you get anything done? You can't. You can't work. Yeah. You can't work. You can't unless you work from home and you can like remotely do shit while you're on dialysis.

SPEAKER_00 12:18

But and you're getting stuck with needles. I'm like, wow, we are. I mean, all three of us are really oh absolutely blessed lucky.

SPEAKER_02 12:24

I think that's the beauty about working in healthcare is it keeps you humble. And you like as much as you can like talk shit about it and you know it's it's expensive and exhausting. Oh yeah. It keeps me humble. I leave work sometimes and I'm like, oh thank god. Like I just have healthy kids, healthy husband, myself.

SPEAKER_01 12:44

Yeah, we have a we well, we have a patient, had a patient on our unit that's 32. He's found behind a dumpster. Oh deed. He was like essentially brain dead before he found him. Yeah, we found him. He was anoxic, but the family, like you like, you're like, oh my gosh, like how did your life get to this point? And then the family comes in, and you're like, oh, there it is. Yes, you know, you can just like see. There it is. There it is. Yeah, it's one of those things where it's like, okay, the dots are connecting here.

SPEAKER_02 13:16

I feel that way with kids because I'm like, I'll see a kid, and I'm like, oh my god, how do I not have such a bratty seven-year-old or something like that? You know, I feel like I'm constantly worried about making sure that they're like these polite, well-rounded kids. Yeah. But then you meet the parents and you're like, I'm doing good. Yeah, I'm I'm good.

SPEAKER_01 13:34

Well, Noah's teacher told her, like, Gil said something about to her teacher, like, if she doesn't listen or do this, like put her in timeout. Oh, it was she has a plum tree in the backyard, I guess. And he was like, Noah likes to pull leaves off of plants. So, like, if she does that, like put her in timeout. And she was like, Oh, I could never, she's like my favorite, like sweet, polite little girl. And I'm like, what the fuck? She just like uses it all up and then comes home and is just like the meanest person. She hit me this morning, and she's so wild and crazy. Her motion, I guess, like that means she's most comfortable at home, and I get that, but Jesus Christ, it's I wish she would just like be a little more polite.

SPEAKER_00 14:14

My aunt was saying that to me. She was like, Boe's so well behaved when we went at the baptism. I said, This little boy is crazy. Mind you, he's not even one yet, so like he's not gonna be behaved however she's thinking. Yeah, but I was like, Are you you sure are you lying to me? She was like, No, they say like well-behaved kids in public means that like you're parenting well. And I was like, Oh, my mom says that's a really makes me feel good.

SPEAKER_01 14:38

Yeah, because she's very well behaved in public, and you know, at school, she's very, very polite and you know, doesn't talk back, and yeah, so at least that's a thing. But she's at home, she's she's just comfy and wild.

SPEAKER_02 14:53

But why am I holding this like emotional support napkin? Oh my god, are you 90? You feel like I have like 50 napkins in each pocket. Who needs a tissue? A little balled up tissue. I'm like a hand person, like I always have to be like fidgeting with something. I'm like that's called uh ADHD or OCD. My doctor wants to get me evaluated. I'm like, bro, I'm 31 years old.

SPEAKER_01 15:19

I was 30 when

Healthcare Perspective And Gratitude

SPEAKER_01 15:20

I got diagnosed. Your PCP? Yeah. I was 30 when I got diagnosed. I was in nursing school. Remember, we were learning about it.

SPEAKER_02 15:27

I've done three of these already.

SPEAKER_01 15:28

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 15:29

When I was a kid.

SPEAKER_01 15:30

Well, I got evaluated as a kid and they said I didn't have it.

SPEAKER_02 15:32

And oh no, when I was a kid, I tricked the system because in my mind I was like, I'm not special. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 15:39

I was like, I'm not gonna have that. Well, they also didn't they misdiagnose girls like chronically, what because we are presented totally different than white males. Don't get me on that soapbox. I'm not getting myself on it, but we're not like we're weird than this. Like, that's you and your own inner inner uh voice. No one else is talking about it. No, but yeah, okay. I get it, guys.

SPEAKER_02 16:02

I can't take you seriously. Gabby is drinking out of a straw shaped as a hub. Okay, penis. Is that from your bachelorette?

SPEAKER_00 16:08

Yeah, so part of my bad. I think about this a lot. I was like, was I a bridezilla? I don't feel like I've been a micro penis, like relative. But I really wanted the penis straws. I was like, please get me penis straws in all cats. I don't remember you maybe I made a power point because I was fucking tight.

SPEAKER_01 16:23

I did do a power. I I we did give each other a look.

SPEAKER_00 16:27

We were like, this bitch made a power point. Yeah, because I was like, I know no one ever listens to me. Maybe people will listen to me. I listened to you? Just like in my life. You guys penis straws. You didn't get your penis draws. All the people listening to this pod are listening to you. I feel like I wanted the white girl bachelorette. Well, you got it, babe. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 16:45

Well, Samantha maybe took the brunt of view of the bridezilla abuse because I didn't feel any of it. Oh, I I could never abuse Samantha.

SPEAKER_00 16:53

Yeah. I'm just saying maybe she dealt with it if I didn't. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_01 16:57

Stop overthinking. Speaking of ADHD and being like overthinking. Anxiety. Um, I got sparkles in ADHD or in nursing school, we were learning about psych, and I was like listening to them talk, and I'm like, You're like, is this shit about me? I said, I feel personally attacked right now. What is happening?

SPEAKER_02 17:18

I picture you in class and you're just like having a patient.

SPEAKER_01 17:20

You're like, I was like in the second row. I'm like, I was having a epiphany. Yeah, Katie's writing down. I was just like, holy shit. Here are my symptoms. Yeah, I'm like, I need to make a mental note, and that's because I was evaluated as a child and they told me I had a learning disability, not ADD. And I'm like, the fuck? But they didn't say, Oh, you can have any learning accommodations in school. So I was just fucking suffering silently. Yeah, it was terrible. So turns out I don't have a learning disability. I'm not stupid. I'm not special needs.

SPEAKER_02 17:50

Oh my god, people with a learning disability, they're not stupid.

SPEAKER_01 17:53

No, I didn't mean it like that. I'm I was like listing off the things that I like was told myself was that I'm not special needs, I'm not stupid, I'm not, you know, an idiot or any of those things. I have a DHD. I'm neurodivergent, which is way more interesting, way more sparkly, and more fun.

SPEAKER_00 18:09

Like divergent, the book series. Did you guys read?

SPEAKER_01 18:12

I did just read the book.

SPEAKER_00 18:13

No, I watched the movies.

SPEAKER_01 18:14

I read the books and watched the movies. The books are way better. They were throwback. But interesting.

SPEAKER_00 18:19

Yeah. I want to start to be a book girl again. Well, I can't read anymore. I don't have time. I read the books.

SPEAKER_02 18:27

They're just good night before you go to bed. I know you're ass just scrolling on TikTok.

SPEAKER_01 18:31

I read Good Night Moon and what's it called the The Hungry Caterpillar, and those are the books that I read. Classic.

SPEAKER_00 18:39

I scroll for like five seconds. I put my phone down in pure darkness, and then either we have sex or I go to bed. And that's my name.

unknown 18:48

Wow.

ADHD, Anxiety, And Overthinking

SPEAKER_00 18:50

Wow. I mean, I wish not every night.

SPEAKER_02 18:52

How many times a week do you guys have sex?

SPEAKER_00 18:54

It comes in waves. It does every week because there's some weeks it's like it depends on the phase. I don't know. I don't understand that shit. Three times a week? That's a lot. Is it? I would say There's some times it's a lot. I would say two. Two is when it comes in waves.

SPEAKER_02 19:12

Oh no, and it comes in waves more. But like two is just we're gonna average out every week. Nice. Average. Average. So like some weeks. One and a half. Sometimes it's zero. Katie? What?

SPEAKER_00 19:30

You got quiet. What is a healthy amount? I don't think it matters.

SPEAKER_01 19:34

I don't think it's like there's a number you can put on it for perspective-wise, because like Gil and our relationship is pretty healthy. And sometimes we have a good drought. That's what I'm saying. We have a drought, like it depends on it. It comes in waves. Yeah, but we like, I mean, there will be like, I mean, we've gone like, I mean, other than postpartum, like like right after the babies were born, like we've had like a month go by. But like it's depends on like my work schedule and his schedule. Yeah, and so like ovulation schedule.

SPEAKER_00 20:07

So, and y'all know like how irresponsible we are it comes to crazy fucking peak ovulation, and you're like, uh, I'm like, today's the day.

SPEAKER_01 20:17

I don't know. I just we I know it because I track my cycle. Like I track, I'm like a fucking stalker. I know it's another social media, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 20:26

But my body's all fucked up. There's no tracking anything. Really? My body's like, you know the shit you've put me through the last two and a half years.

SPEAKER_01 20:33

I am the most obnoxiously regular person. There's only that is the only thing that I am fucking like normal about in life, which is very annoying. It's like I want one of those things where like I would love to miss a period every now and then and not be pregnant.

SPEAKER_02 20:45

Oh, that's great. You know, no, I would rather be regular because then you know, all right, I'm supposed to get my period.

SPEAKER_01 20:49

Oh, I'm two days late, you know it.

SPEAKER_02 20:51

Oh, yeah. Mine is like, nah.

SPEAKER_01 20:53

Yeah, that's how I went years with Gil and I just like raw dogging it, and I never had a pregnancy scare because I knew when to avoid it. And then once we had kids, we were just like, eh, fuck it.

SPEAKER_02 21:03

No, I feel like if you're gonna be regular on anything, that's that's a good thing.

SPEAKER_01 21:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 21:07

Then you know that is helpful.

SPEAKER_01 21:08

But yeah, I think like it's hard to put like, oh, uh two times a week, three times a week is it. It's hard to put a number on what's healthy and what's not healthy. Obviously, I'm not a sex therapist, so I can't. This is not any advice that you should be taking like to heart. Talk to a professional if you're really having issues. But but like I feel like every relationship is different and everybody's work, like I work night shift, you work night shift, I work three days a week, you know, you're working two days a week. Okay, so it's different for everybody. And like I'm not home three nights a week, so like at max, it's gonna be four times a week. But that ain't that ain't shit ain't happening. Same corn doll. That's one of those days a wash because I'm fucking exhausted. And so it's like at most, would be three days a week for me for me in my life. And like that shit, like half the time Noah comes and sleeps on our bed. So we have to like be very strategic about. If we're gonna do it. So yeah, like we had sex last week, and literally, like five minutes after we finished, she walked in and we were like, oh, well, thank goodness that we were done. Because the last time we tried to go in at the beach and she's like woke up and was like, Mommy and Daddy, stop bouncing.

SPEAKER_00 22:18

SPEAKER_01 22:27

We thought she was asleep, and she was not. So I can't. It was very funny. But we're just she was like, Mommy and Daddy, stop bouncing. We're just trying to get comfortable. Yeah, cuddle in.

Noah, so Gil put Noah Noah Crew to bed the other night, and he came back into my room or yeah, our room, and Noah was in the bed watching TV when he left. And Noah had my dildo in her mouth. And it was on. Talk about sex that I figured in dildo just like it's a little bit more.

SPEAKER_02 23:25

It's in my bedside drawer. What is she?

SPEAKER_01 23:29

And oh wait, let me find the text. Oh wait, my phone's over there. Gilbert. Wait, so sorry, you were at work and Gil walked in on that. Yeah. Gil was like, what the fuck is happening? And he also he called it my lightsaber in the message that he sent me, so which was like even worse.

SPEAKER_02 23:43

Oh my gosh, you have to find the text. Yeah, let me see if it's on my I just picture you like in a patient room and then getting whatever this text is about to say on your watch.

SPEAKER_01 23:52

Oh, I I saw it on my watch and I was like, oh no. I was so embarrassed. I was like, well, you're doing more miss dildo. So let me see here.

SPEAKER_02 24:02

Oh no. Oh, that's so that's wild.

SPEAKER_00 24:07

My dildo ran away.

SPEAKER_01 24:08

I don't know. I don't. Oh, he said, here it is. Sorry. Well, every father's dream just came true. While I was with Crew, I came back in our room and Noah held had your lightsaber in her mouth, and yes, it was on and vibrating. I said, I honestly don't have any words. Jesus, I'm sorry. I guess I need to lock that drawer from now on. He said, Yeah, wasn't sure how to explain it when it was what it was. So I said that was for your butt. So she took it out. So she would take it out of her mouth. She goes, Yeah, she looks at me and goes, up her butt? Wow, that must hurt. That's mommy's butt plug. And that's my mom confession of the week. That's a good one.

SPEAKER_00 24:51

I don't know. I can even snap that.

SPEAKER_01 24:54

Yeah, I was like, okay, mess is like. So everybody, if you're having a rough week out there, just remember.

SPEAKER_02 25:02

At least your kid didn't put a dildo in your channel.

SPEAKER_01 25:04

Lock up your lock up your sex toys, folks. Otherwise, you're gonna have a real weird conversation with your kid

Mom Confessions And Kid Chaos

SPEAKER_01 25:10

about what it is.

SPEAKER_00 25:15

No, you're like dildo.

SPEAKER_02 25:17

Are not actually just for your buttons? Oh no, just shove everything in your butt. Luckily.

SPEAKER_00 25:24

Yeah, don't put your random shit up your ass.

SPEAKER_01 25:26

Luckily, it doesn't go up my butt.

SPEAKER_00 25:27

That would be fucking raised.

SPEAKER_01 25:30

Just for clarification out there, guys, it's that he told her, I don't actually stick it up my butt.

SPEAKER_02 25:34

But moving on. That's nuts, Gabby.

SPEAKER_00 25:38

Kind of.

SPEAKER_02 25:39

I mean, not I don't she's like, whatever I say now is just dumb as maybe I should have gone west.

SPEAKER_00 25:46

That was wild. I'm sorry. Um, I definitely could have been watching Bowie a little better. He's starting to climb now. Oh so he climbs up his high chair, and I saw his spider. Oh, he climbed. He is. He is his back. He climbs up the high chair. And I know I left a crumb in here. I don't know what his goal is, to be honest. I haven't figured it out. I don't know if he knows. He knows it. I saw his eyes twinkle. I was like, oh shit. And he's trying to reach to jump off the high chair to go onto like his walker thingy. And I was like, Boey, no. And he just slow-mo. Just see him fucking tumble onto the wall. And I was like, oh fuck.

SPEAKER_02 26:27

Crazy.

SPEAKER_00 26:28

Yeah. Like a tumble.

SPEAKER_01 26:30

He needs to be like in those, like those ninja warrior people. He needs a padded room. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 26:35

Or gymnastics. I said after that, I said, you need gymnastics now. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 26:38

That's wild.

SPEAKER_00 26:39

Yeah, that's that's so funny.

SPEAKER_01 26:41

True is moving around a lot more, but he didn't do shit like that. He's like, I'm I'm good on the floor.

SPEAKER_00 26:46

Trying to run. Yeah. That's wild. Jump, climbed up the stairs.

SPEAKER_02 26:50

Now I can't. Where's Bowie? He's at on top of the fridge. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 26:53

How did he get up there? What annoys me with Noah is that she will climb up and get somewhere and then not know how to get back down. And I'm like, you need to figure out your plan before you execute this dangerous thing. Right. Because she climbs up. Yeah, like the banister has like a it's like kind of goes out on the um, like right above our living room or whatever. So she like walks up of it a bit, like on the other side of the stairs. And I'm like, please get down, you know, blah, blah, blah. And she's like, I'm playing. And then she's like, I can't get down. I'm like, should have thought about that before before you did it. Well, now you gotta stay there. Yeah. She she knows she just is lazy and wants to be a pick. I'm like, nah, you gotta walk backwards, bitch. You got it. Or you're falling.

SPEAKER_02 27:35

Yeah. I do have a confession. Okay. It's not me though, it's Dylan. It's a dad confession. Dad confession. I'm gonna just out him. Anyway, I've been telling him you need to start watching your mouth around our kids. Charlie's just playing with Island. She's like, fucking shit, fucking shit, fucking shit. Says it like over and over and over and over. And I'm home and I hear her say I'm like, what the fuck do I do? So I just let it be. And I told Dylan that she said that, and he's like, Oh, that's definitely me. That's like I say fucking shit like whenever I'm pissed or whatever. He's like, that's definitely my saying. And so I'm telling him about this, and like not even 10 minutes later, she's sitting at the coffee table doing stuff. She's like, fucking shit. And Dylan just looks at me like, oh my gosh. Like, I told you. Yeah. Yep. Yep. So it hasn't happened since. Oh, but Noah cusses all the time. Now Dylan cusses, and I'm like, don't you? I'm like, heckin', like, don't say that. I don't have my kid walking around school being like, fucking.

SPEAKER_01 28:40

I mean, I feel like as long as they use it, I don't, I'm not obviously tell her not yeah, I I tell her those are naughty words. Like, we don't say those. Mommy and daddy are bad. Like, we just we say something sometimes, we just like explain to her, but it's so funny when they when she says it. I'm like, it is funny, and like she knows that we think it's funny.

SPEAKER_02 29:01

So now I was like, I had to turn around and walk away.

SPEAKER_01 29:04

Cause I'm like, I am not even gonna acknowledge this right now. Yesterday in the car, I was like worried about like Noah broke out in like a heat rash or whatever, and I was like, Does it itch? And she's like, Does it bitch? And I was like, that is not what I said, and don't say that word. It's like she her eyes like she loves she knows what she's doing too, but it's so she's just very clever. But I don't know, I feel like don't cut you don't cuss at people and you don't cuss at school. It's the worst thing she ever does, which it definitely ain't because she'd be fucking up all the time. But if it's the worst thing she ever does in life, I feel like I'm doing pretty well. I mean, I Charlie doesn't know yet.

SPEAKER_02 29:40

Yeah, like if I were like, Oh, that's a bad word, she's gonna be like, Okay. Yeah, she'll give it no way to fucking do shit.

SPEAKER_01 29:49

It's a bad word.

SPEAKER_02 29:50

I'm just not even gonna we didn't acknowledge it.

SPEAKER_01 29:52

Yeah, you just gotta like acknowledge it. And then when they're old enough, you just have to be like, hey, I need to get a water bird.

SPEAKER_02 30:00

Start spraying Dylan whenever he's cusses.

SPEAKER_01 30:02

Yeah, like no negative association. Bad and then he won't flinch and there's not gonna be any water there. It'll just train him like Pavlov's dogs.

SPEAKER_02 30:12

I'd be like, see? We don't say that. Yeah, stop calling that.

SPEAKER_00 30:17

Yeah, so yeah, we I guess that's mine. Curse a square jar when I was growing up. Just me and my mom. You know, and she would put uh the money in it because I didn't curse, but I remember like saying I said a bad word.

unknown 30:33

What?

SPEAKER_00 30:33

I probably just said shut up. I really didn't say anything bad. Shut up is not a bad word. Well, according to John, when I was a kid, it wasn't. I couldn't say shut up. Yeah, I was not allowed to say that. Are you serious? And I wasn't allowed to say, Oh my god. What? It's gone. Don't say the Lord's name and day.

SPEAKER_01 30:51

Oh, my dad would get really pissed if we ever said like G D. He wouldn't like that song by Panic at the disco. Oh. I chine in with that one. Um he would get so mad if I would play that. I was like, It's a bop. Like, it's a fucking bop. But when I turned a certain age, like my dad I never heard my parents swear, and then as soon as I hit an age, my dad, it was like he just like turned a switch back on, and it was like fuck every other word. So that's why I have I have a terrible potty mouth. Because my dad, like my you know, they think when you're like little, it's like those are the most formative ears. And I feel like a lot of like shit is affects you when you're a teenager and a lot of like your of like habits, and like I swear all the time because that's all I not that my dad cussed and like yelled all the time, which I mean he did, but like he was it'd say that in just like his day-to-day. So he would say fuck uh in a bad way or fuck like you know, this is fucking awesome, you know. So I'll be the same way, and I can't help it.

SPEAKER_02 31:53

I do have a really bad potty mouth, but my parents did not swear until I was older. And then I remember when I like swore around them. I was like, Is that okay? But my dad still to this day like doesn't really curse. So if I curse around him, I'm like, feel like awful.

SPEAKER_01 32:09

I cuss around my mom, but she doesn't swear very much. Like when she does, it's like it feels like her body is like doing this. Rejecting the word. And I'm like, please stop. I don't like it when you say when my mom says like a bad word, I'm like, like something wrong. I'm like, are you? Like what you're just like, you know, her heart.

SPEAKER_02 32:29

That's the movie where they're like, I blink every time I curse. Oh, I or it was like a sneeze every time I I think you just I don't know. And they're like, stop, just say it. And she's like, I blink every time or something. I don't know that one. Come on, Katie.

SPEAKER_01 32:42

Yeah, this is a you're supposed to know always. That was a huge hit. I feel like I know there's some movie that like they sneeze every time they maybe it's the same movie. That's when they ejaculate. What the fuck?

SPEAKER_02 32:58

That's that's vinegar stroke. Wait. Wait. It's uh with Justin Timberlake and uh Mila Kunis and he sneezed. Yeah every time he finished. That's right.

SPEAKER_01 33:11

That's right. That's a good one.

SPEAKER_02 33:12

Look at me. I know my fucking movies. A rom-com. I'm gonna come back to the.

SPEAKER_01 33:18

You know your rom-coms. Good job.

SPEAKER_00 33:20

So speaking of cursing, one time I cursed out these strangers in front of my dad, and I was like immediately You cussed somebody out? Yeah, because they were being assholes to my dad.

SPEAKER_01 33:29

I've never seen you like actually get mad.

SPEAKER_00 33:33

Well, that's because I've tamed her down a lot.

SPEAKER_01 33:35

I love it's like a person, it's like your alter ego. Like you don't even claim it as you.

SPEAKER_00 33:40

No, I came out of my body to curse out grown men in front of my father. And then I immediately looked at him and I'm like, am I gonna be in trouble? No, never. I wasn't. But he's like respect. He's like, next time I'll take care of it.

SPEAKER_01 33:55

I was like, well, you weren't, so I you have to like what's more emasculating than your daughter having to take up for you?

SPEAKER_00 34:03

No, honestly, you could be like, Yep, yeah, yep, that's mine. I just like I don't want like the only people that are allowed to pick on my parents are me.

SPEAKER_01 34:12

That's what we're talking about.

SPEAKER_00 34:13

We were just talking about that that I'm very like defensive over.

SPEAKER_01 34:18

I can talk shit about my family. Yeah. I can talk, not shit about you guys. Yeah. Meredith, I love you, but no, I mean, and she knows this. Like, she's got a lot of fuel in the in the chamber for for things sometimes. Like where we go out with what? You know, she's got a lot of, you know, what is it like I don't know. Like, you know what I'm trying to say, yeah, right? Like, what's the word? I don't know, because I feel like you're you're going down a slippery slope. Okay, well, no, I mean, she knows that there's a lot of things that like I can make fun of her for, or I do make fun of her for. One, because she makes it very easy. And two, she's just got a lot of things to make fun of her for. She's a nerd. But if Gil tries to, I'm like, this is not a this is not a good activity. It's not a perfect like this. No, just because I'm doing it does not mean you can you can participate. Like, you can be a bystander on the sidelines. You're not you're not invited to this. This is an inside thing.

SPEAKER_02 35:12

I will let you know when you can speak.

SPEAKER_01 35:14

Yeah, like no, absolutely not. And I don't know, I feel like don't remember why we start talking about this. Oh.

SPEAKER_00 35:19

Oh, because I cursed someone out as a yeah, yeah, 28.

SPEAKER_02 35:22

You can talk shit about your family, nobody else can talk shit about your family. And that's just bottom line.

SPEAKER_00 35:27

Unless I'm talking shit to Adam, like, yo, my mom did this. I'm really I mean, he doesn't talk shit about them though, so it's just me.

SPEAKER_01 35:34

You're like, it still doesn't mean about it. Yeah, I mean, I think like when you're married and like you get to see the inns inner workings of an of your in-laws family, I think it it not that like you can talk shit, but it like has you have to be like less of a like sensitive person when it comes to stuff like that because like once you start having kids, especially like Gil, you know, he has a say on things, especially if it affects our kids. And so I've had to because I used to be very defensive over things like that, and he would be like, I'm not saying, you know, they're bad people or whatever, and I'm not even like sure I have an example, but it's one of those things that you just kind of have to like swallow your pride a little bit and be like, and but like he doesn't just say, like, oh your your dad your or your dad, your mom's saga shit. Like he's said and not that he would say, 'cause like at a certain point, they're his family too.

SPEAKER_02 36:29

Absolutely. Yeah. So like he has a different relationship now.

SPEAKER_01 36:33

I mean, there has been moments where like he's like, Your mom said this and it hurt my feelings. And you know, my mom sometimes doesn't get social cues, so like I had to like tell her, hey, like, and I could have been like, You're being a baby, like just suck it up and get over it. But like, I felt like, okay, no, like he I want him to have a good relationship with my mom, so like I need to confront her, even though like I knew my mom was probably gonna take it and be like, What? You know, that's I didn't mean it by that like that, but like you have to tell them, hey, this is not okay, like it hurt them, and you have to apologize.

SPEAKER_02 37:09

And so, anyway, isn't that such an interesting thing about when you get married to somebody? Is like they were raised by a totally different group of people and a different group of just everything, yeah, you know, what was normal for their family and what they did, and then same for yourself, and now you're at a point where you're like, okay, now we need to try to combine our two upbringings and our two families, and marriage is hard, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 37:36

Find that like medium, yeah. It is, yeah. But like when I started coming around Gil's family, like I was not a big hugger, and like I'm still not like it's not my instinct to like hug people initially. I just pictured myself hugging you and it's me too uncomfortable.

SPEAKER_00 37:54

I was like, you've gotten better. I have gotten a lot better.

SPEAKER_02 37:57

I'm also not a big hug. You guys hug. We hug. We've we've we hug.

SPEAKER_00 38:00

I mean, we've kissed too.

SPEAKER_01 38:02

Yeah, we have we've done a lot of we've done a lot of things wink wink. No, I'm just kidding.

SPEAKER_02 38:08

I mean, we but that was for medical reasons, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 38:10

Yeah, anyway. What did we do? I don't remember. Like, which is this? Adam's one of our best listeners, so I don't want to piss him off.

SPEAKER_02 38:19

Oh my god. He's just driving to work next Monday. Good morning, Adam. Happy Monday. Happy Monday.

SPEAKER_01 38:25

Just skip through a minute 15. He's driving, he's like, I'm gonna go to the 15 minutes and 45 seconds. Damn it.

SPEAKER_00 38:31

He's gonna be like, this is the worst episode ever.

SPEAKER_01 38:33

He's gonna start commenting negative shit on my social media. Um no. Oh, yeah, we have my hugging. So yeah, I'm so going into Gil's family, big huggers, those people. Oh, yeah. Which like it's wonderful. I want that, like, and it's not a bad thing that I didn't grow up that way, but it, you know, it was a big learning curve to be like married into a family that hugs all the time. Cause like I was just like, why doesn't Brandon touch me all the time? You know what I mean? I was just like, and now like I love hugging his family, but it just at first I was like, the fuck, why do they hug so much? Like, what do I do? Then we already do this. Yeah, it's just like one of those things that you kind of have to just adjust to. Um, and it's funny. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 39:19

It took me a while, like when you know Adam's on the phone with his mom, and she's like, All right, love you. And I'm like, Are you talking to me? Yes, I totally understand it. But now I'm like, love you too. Uh yeah, I also love you too. Are you talking to me?

SPEAKER_01 39:35

Oh yeah, Lydia tells me she loves me like 500 times a day.

SPEAKER_00 39:37

Yeah, I love that. She does tell me that too.

SPEAKER_01 39:41

I tell Lydia, like everyone loves that woman. Yeah, she's the best. She's she's like the best, like second mom, you know. Yeah, she makes you feel like you just rock. And Ken too. He's just like, I'm like, damn, like these people, they make me feel like they do awesome. Like, I don't know. Like, they're just like, we're so proud of you.

SPEAKER_00 40:03

Lydia gives great compliments. She does so sexy. I'm like, Whoa, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 40:08

She's great. Thank you. If you're

SPEAKER_02 40:32

I already know where you're going with this. And things that are awkward, but things that feel embarrassing.

SPEAKER_01 40:37

It's like weirdly embarrassing, and you it's not, it's just like a normal thing, but like tying my shoe in public gets me so embarrassed. I'm like, I need to find all like dark alley like walk down to tie my shoe. I don't get why it's so embarrassing. Let's because you're in a really weird compromise position.

SPEAKER_02 40:55

This is so weird. Walking into a restaurant and telling them you have a reservation.

SPEAKER_00 40:59

Yes, I feel awkward. I do feel uncomfortable. Why?

SPEAKER_02 41:02

My name's Taylor.

SPEAKER_00 41:04

You have to say it like that.

SPEAKER_01 41:06

My name's Taylor and I have a reservation. I'm here for dinner. I don't, it's me. Okay, well, I have a list if you guys want to.

SPEAKER_02 41:15

Oh God. I might have to come back to this because I'm sure it'll happen to me all week and I'll be like, yep.

SPEAKER_00 41:20

One of mine is when I walk into like a patient's room and I I get awkward because they're new, like I don't know them, and I get clumsy. And I'm like, this is like I'm fine. They think I'm an idiot. Like they trust me. My patients are intubated, so they don't mind.

SPEAKER_02 41:35

I fart in my patients. You're like, hey, I'm Katie.

SPEAKER_00 41:38

There was actually a study on farting in ICU patient's room. I saw a study? I'll have to send you what did you do?

SPEAKER_01 41:45

Katie leave the study. I am part of the I'll have to find the result that reads. If you're a really good nurse, because I don't leave the room to fart. Like I have an embarrassing story about that. If I had a meeting, if I have a dollar. If I had a dollar for every time I farted in my patient's room, I'd be rich. I'd be I wouldn't be a nurse anymore. Let me just tell you that.

SPEAKER_03 42:04

That's great.

SPEAKER_01 42:05

Yeah, I have farted in my patient's room.

SPEAKER_02 42:07

Okay, you have to tell your story now. Well Okay, yeah, you can't do that.

SPEAKER_00 42:10

One time one time I was precepting and I was in the room, I think it was a COVID room, and I might have tooted. And she was like assy girl.

SPEAKER_02 42:21

You just too.

SPEAKER_00 42:22

I might have, because I was having stomach issues back then. A lot better now. And she was like, I think the patient might have like had a bowel movement.

SPEAKER_02 42:34

I was like, oh I don't know. That was me, so actually I'm gonna see myself.

SPEAKER_00 42:40

She went to chat. We checked the patient, and I was like, oh, they must have like farted or something. It's fine. Just Gabby.

SPEAKER_02 42:47

That's hilarious. She's saying, I've been holding this, and that's the only lie Gabby's ever told. Gabby's like, it feels so much better. It's like I got off my chest. I've been carrying this for four years.

SPEAKER_01 43:00

Yeah, so long.

SPEAKER_02 43:02

And you feel a lot better now. Yeah. You feel better? I'm glad that you could share this and I whoever else.

SPEAKER_01 43:10

I think I told you guys that on the pod, like the time that I farted in my patient's room, and he was like, something stinks in here. And I was like, yeah. And you fart admitted. I couldn't do it at the time. Like, yeah. I've been in here for fucking ever. Yeah, obviously. I'm just taking care of you. I need a fart. Yeah. Like I'm trapped in here. It was a COVID room. Like, obviously, I'm not leaving to fart and having to put all this shit back on. You got me fucked up. Anyway, so things that uh feel weirdly embarrassing, but aren't. Number one. Walking back into a store after you just left. Yeah, yeah. Yes. Like you're just like, oh my God, I'm such an idiot. Like, I you know. Yeah. Having someone sing happy birthday to you. I hate that. Y'all know, y'all know I hate that.

SPEAKER_00 43:50

I don't mind it, but I do. I'm like, what do I do? Do I think that's a good thing? Yeah, like what do I do with my hands?

SPEAKER_01 43:54

Like, yeah, no, that's so embarrassing to hate that.

SPEAKER_02 43:58

Like, and

SPEAKER_01 44:00

And then there's some fucking nerd that's like, Are you one? And like, fuck off. There's always gotta be one. Yeah. Taking forever to parallel park while people wait. Not me. Okay, we all are from the north. They're just gonna say, I'm like wrap that teach that and the driver's test down here.

SPEAKER_02 44:16

They also don't teach you guys how to use turn signals.

SPEAKER_01 44:18

So that's not that they do actually. It's just that most of the people are from up north. I use my turn signals. Oh, I use my turn signal to go into my own. Most people that live here now are transplants, so that's they teach you how to use it.

SPEAKER_02 44:31

At least we can parallel park. Well, no, I don't think it's the northern people that don't use turn signals. The drivers down here suck. It's the southern people that don't use turn signals. Is there like anytime I'm in the car with a friend that's from here, I'm like, bruh. I always use my turn signals. It's you, I think. Do I? That's because you're around all of us.

SPEAKER_01 44:49

SPEAKER_02 45:01

I remember the first time I drove with you. I was like scared for my life. I was like, I might die today.

SPEAKER_00 45:05

That was because I had my Nissan and that was given Nissan energy.

SPEAKER_01 45:10

I've never heard 90 miles an hour. I've never heard Nissan energy before. Just go and take a picture. I just remember writing with you for the first time. I was afraid. I'm better now, okay. Now that you're a mom.

SPEAKER_00 45:19

Yep, I'm a lot slower. I don't cut people.

SPEAKER_01 45:22

Here's another one. Being the only one that claps. That's never happened. I don't know. You've never like to be. Oh, like when you like think like, oh, they're finished, you start clapping and they're like, not done. No, I wait. No. I'm the last person. Leave in a voicemail. I don't. I don't. Well, if you have to.

SPEAKER_00 45:40

But like, you know, you go to a party that like you that you don't know the people. Know the people that way. Yeah, no. If I I'm arriving late on purpose. Or walking into the wrong room. Like at a like a in like a school. Or I did that the other day.

SPEAKER_02 46:15

I hate when that happens. Have you guys had to take the Vistalar class at all? Huh? It is a self-defense for healthcare workers.

SPEAKER_01 46:24

No. No, we don't all work.

SPEAKER_02 46:25

SPEAKER_02 46:45

But anyway, that class I had to go take and I walked into the wrong class and I was like Oh, did it already start too?

SPEAKER_01 46:53

Yeah. Oh yeah. Or is it I hate working on the class when you're like late? I will like contemplate just like skipping altogether. Yeah. If I'm leaked to a class that's like a starts like at a hard because I've been like rudely kicked out of a class at Duke. Oh, I bet at watch. I bet. Yeah, well that's full of nursing. You've been kicked out of a our she got kicked out of sim lab twice because she forgot.

SPEAKER_02 47:20

I forgot my roadmap. Oh, good thing I have a whole book of drugs. Why do I have to write it on a piece of paper? It was a drug map.

SPEAKER_01 47:28

That's great. Yeah, it was a very interesting thing.

SPEAKER_02 47:30

And like that's so crazy because I thought I paid $40,000. Don't get me started.

SPEAKER_01 47:35

Yeah, don't get her started. They based me. There you are. Yeah. What's her name? Shanique. Oh, I cut that off. Um they based off their like curriculum and like their energy off of the military. No, that's no ankles.

SPEAKER_02 47:51

Your ankles cannot show. No. My socks went up to here. They did. And my shirt went to a lecture.

SPEAKER_01 47:59

You know, now they wear like cute scrubs. I'm like salty as fuck by that. Oh, they wore bowling shirts.

SPEAKER_02 48:05

Picture of bowling shirts.

SPEAKER_01 48:06

It has a collar.

SPEAKER_02 48:07

It had on the whole it was a button-up shirt. Oh, and you know what else? Short sleeves.

SPEAKER_01 48:13

They also were at the Duke School of Medicine now.

SPEAKER_02 48:17

Oh, that's nice. Yeah. We were in an office. We were in the fucking office building. Second floor. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 48:21

You shouldn't get your money back for that. I swear to God. We went to a good nursing school, but fuck that place. We had polo shirts and we had to wear khakis when it was like our community home. So when we went to the ghetto of Philadelphia to do a syringe exchange clinical in the hood.

SPEAKER_02 48:36

I was not like that's only in so do we like pack our gun or no? Only in major suburban areas where you have a in a syringe exchange.

SPEAKER_00 48:46

That was our clinical. Like you don't learn what anything. It was very interesting. Learned a lot. I fucking bet. Very interesting. I learned a lot of stuff. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_02 48:54

Can we just put this in a PowerPoint?

SPEAKER_00 48:56

Like, I also was leaving my apartment in the ghetto of Philly at 5 a.m. to walk by myself to a train station to meet my group to go to more of the ghetto of Philly to do my clinical and get yelled at by Miss What's her name is. No, what kind of that life she yelled at me over. I made a bed. You know how back in the well, I don't know if you had it because it was different, but we had to make hospital corners. Yeah. And before they had fitted sheets or whatever. Yeah. Yes. And I was like, yo, this is a good bed I've made. And she said, what the hell is this?

SPEAKER_01 49:30

So she walked in. I was like, my mom still to this day. My mom's been a nurse for 41 years. The yes, she taught me when I was a child how to do hospital corners when we was making beds. But she had this our the nursing direct, she's no longer the nursing director for our nursing school. She retired, but she was one of the clinical instructors when my mom went to watch back in 1981. She told my mom that her shoes were like old and ratty and told her she needed to throw them away. And my mom was like, I'm literally pay for my own tuition. Like I couldn't afford she's still to this day. If you ask her about that person, she will fucking like she might actually hurt her.

SPEAKER_02 50:10

That is something that God the pettiness in me would have to full circle and be like, I remember what you said two years ago. And as a healthcare provider, the judgment that came from you is also like, how dare you I stopped going to class because it's she plugged this place. Yeah. I literally was like, I could read a textbook, I'm not going to class.

SPEAKER_00 50:29

Half the time, too. I feel like it's teaching myself. Yeah, that's why I stopped feeling. They didn't teach me, they didn't know when you're like, Katie, I'll meet you for lunch.

SPEAKER_01 50:37

Yeah, I'm not going to do that. One of our teachers, God rest her soul. She passed away recently, but she taught an entire lecture and then realized halfway through that it was wrong.

SPEAKER_02 50:45

She's a she's like sorry, I had too much wine left.

SPEAKER_01 50:47

Yeah, she got it. But apparently that was a bit, she just keeps kept forgetting to change the PowerPoint. Like I talked to another coworker the other day who also went to wild. She's like, she pulled that same shit like five years earlier. I'm like, so she just either finds that hilarious or she just forgets to change the PowerPoint she created like five years prior. Yeah. But rest in peace, Miss Peace.

SPEAKER_00 51:11

Yeah, nursing school is just that was that's where the anxiety comes from.

SPEAKER_02 51:15

I'll say nursing school now though is not a good thing. It's not like that. It's because they had to be like well, be cohesive and like not hurt anybody's feelings.

SPEAKER_00 51:23

Honestly, I think you need to be a little strict, you know. Like, I'm not saying like we need to haze new grads and stuff, but like, no, that like you're taking care of people, like these are their lives. Yeah, like they're students, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 51:36

Like nursing students will come on my unit and be like sitting at the big desk, not doing anything. And I'm like, I'm confused. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 51:43

They have their we had a PNA on our unit, and she literally the entire day sat in the corner on her phone.

SPEAKER_00 51:51

And I'm like, I'm confused about this.

SPEAKER_01 51:53

Nah, nah. And like I'm like, who is letting this girl get like who was assigned to you? And why are you allowed to do this? Like, you best believe if I ever get assigned a PNA, like you're here to learn. Yeah. And you're going to at least pretend like you're having fun.

unknown 52:09

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 52:10

When I did clinical instructing, God bless. Yeah. I do enjoy teaching, but I had like eight, nine students the first time I ever did it. And I was just confused. I was like, okay, so have you gotten report? No, like I can't find my nurse. So why are you sitting down? Go find her. Go fucking find her.

SPEAKER_02 52:29

Ask I couldn't be a clinical instructor because I can't fix my face. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 52:33

I'd be like, also, I'm gonna get in trouble for being like, okay, do you know how to go ask someone where they are?

SPEAKER_02 52:41

I do not age 20 year old like you're grown.

SPEAKER_00 52:44

No, they were older than I was in nursing school. I was 17 when I went to nursing school. It was wild. Yeah, I know. And so even like it's 9 a.m. I'm like, have you done your assessment? Your assessment should be done by 9 a.m. No, the patient's sleeping. Okay, so if they had a stroke, would you have known by now? Right.

SPEAKER_02 53:03

So yeah, at our school, they'd be like, so you could go home for the day. Maybe I should have known this is now doesn't count. Yeah. Like it was like by nine o'clock, we had to give a full report of our med map and be able to tell them like what meds they're getting, why they're getting it, what are the side effects?

SPEAKER_00 53:17

No, they couldn't tell me that either. And I realized it's because they didn't have pharmacology either. And I'm like, so how are you learning meds? They want me to let you give meds, but you don't you've never even learned that.

SPEAKER_01 53:27

That's why, like, if you're in first semester, that's why you got a mother baby because the only meds you give are Tylenol and Cynicot.

SPEAKER_00 53:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 53:33

So like if you don't know what those are and what they do and the side effects, the side effect, the five side effect of a stool softener is soft shit. So if you don't know what the side effect of Tylenol is, no pain. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 53:46

You know, like I got chewed out and I'm like, you I think I told the girls, like, so you want me to let you give meds, but you didn't do the research. You have no idea what you're giving. These, like, I you gotta do better. No.

SPEAKER_01 53:59

And Taylor got fucking chastised in front of our entire clinical group for forgetting her med map.

SPEAKER_02 54:04

Yeah. I said, fuck y'all. Yeah, I'm out. KG, I'll be at the bar.

SPEAKER_01 54:09

Yeah, she did. I was like, fuck this place. I was so like, I don't even know what to do right now. That lady, that teacher was weirdly hard on you. Like, I felt like there were certain things that she would like be hard on you for that she like wouldn't do for other people. I don't know what it was.

SPEAKER_00 54:25

I don't know you know what I hate too about like being hard on someone, but also like I hate favoritism. I fucking hate favoritism. I mean, it's just like in school, just in in school, at work, like not to hate on the male nurses. Why are they always favorited?

SPEAKER_01 54:46

What bothers me is that women, we're our own worst enemy. Nurses do that. We fucking idolize these male nurses, and I'm like, they're doing the bare minimum. Also, they're wearing like clogs. Ew.

SPEAKER_02 54:58

Like, I can't. I can't. Someone with a male nurse in it. Scrub cap, joggers, and scrub cap. I'm like, why the fuck are you wearing? You're a nurse bro. You're not in the world. We're not in the OR.

SPEAKER_00 55:10

Yeah. My other pet peeve, why do people wear scrub caps with their hair out? It's supposed to cover cover your hair.

SPEAKER_01 55:16

It's supposed to, your hair's supposed to be in it. The only time that a scrub cap is appropriate is if you are in a room that is like a contact and they got like a gross. I mean, I used to wear scrub caps during during COVID. We wore them all the time.

SPEAKER_02 55:35

But even those people didn't wear them correctly. No, they didn't. They wore it on top of their head with their bun out. And I'm like, it's not.

SPEAKER_01 55:41

Well, I would have my bun out the bottom, but that was because like it couldn't find it. I tried to like the other one. But I had it like in a tight bun and then it was like tied back, and like all my hair was like.

SPEAKER_00 55:53

No, I'm talking about people that have the scrub cap and like a ginormous ponytail. And that doesn't or the male nurses.

SPEAKER_02 55:59

Or yeah, I'm like, we're we're not going to OR today.

SPEAKER_00 56:01

You're not on Gray's Anatomy.

SPEAKER_01 56:05

Yeah. Oh boy. I mean, there are some male nurses that I really do like and that they're the exception to the rule, but I've worked with enough to know to know. But it's not because they're a male nurse. No. That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_02 56:16

Because they're not some people just like male nurses because they're a male nurse.

SPEAKER_01 56:19

Right. And like I feel like they always get picked to be like charge early on or like CR, they get like trained for CRT. And like at least in the ICU, they are like all they jump the line. They jump the line of like the you know, this the standard as far as like clinical experience goes. They it doesn't apply to them a lot of the time, unless they're just like a complete moron, which we've seen that too. But for the most part, they get like this like special treatment. And I'm like, okay, just because like we women, this is a female dominated field, and yet we're still putting men above women.

SPEAKER_00 56:57

I don't know. I don't think it's fair. I'm it really grinds my gears. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 57:02

And snaps my ass, you know? It does. Yeah. Oh, I have another awkward thing. Okay. Going back to what we were saying 30 minutes ago. When you have to get up to use the bathroom, like say in the middle of a class or a lecture or like the movie theater, and you're just like everybody's staring at me.

unknown 57:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 57:22

Now what one that I hate the most, and I have it on here, is walking down the aisle of an airplane when everyone else is already sitting down. Like when you have to get up to use the bathroom all the time. Oh my god, I hate that. I'm always I used to go afraid to get to use the bathroom because I was afraid that I was gonna get trapped in the airplane bathroom.

SPEAKER_00 57:42

It is very claustrophobic. It's so tiny. I had to change Bowie in the airplane.

SPEAKER_01 57:46

How does that even happen? I would never. My you can see my kid's ass. I don't give a fuck.

SPEAKER_00 57:51

Well, I could have actually I don't know. He's just wild. I don't I think I needed to get up and move with him because she needed to get up. I think that's what it was.

SPEAKER_01 57:59

When we flew with Noah when she was like started moving around, we like flew a vello, which that was one of the better flights I've ever had with a kid. And we they were like, Oh, we don't have any, this isn't a full flight. Do you guys want to sit in the front row? I was like, Abso fucking Lutley. And it was like so much leg room, and like she was just like, honestly, don't care crawling out on the floor. So I'm like, what else? That's nice. Yeah, and like Ken and Lydia were on the flight with us. It was when we were going to see us to key. And they were like, she was just like going back and forth. It was so great.

SPEAKER_00 58:27

Yeah. I passed him to Adam, then I passed him to Ryan, then back to Adam, then to me, then back. Yeah. It helps Ryan's anxiety on flying, too. I think.

SPEAKER_01 58:36

Thank you. Gil has to be fully medicated to fly, which is I don't know how it's gonna go when we fly to Maine. We'll see. Medication. Like no, I know how it's gonna go. I'm just saying now that we have two kids, maybe that'll distract him.

SPEAKER_00 58:50

Because it distracts me. You can't think about much else. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 58:54

No, he's gotta he's gonna have to get the panic. Yeah. He will have a panic attack. Yeah. Because that was the first time we ever had a panic attack, was on a flight. Panic attacks are not fun. Yeah. So

Flying Anxiety And The Lives We Lived

SPEAKER_01 59:05

it'll be great.

unknown 59:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 59:07

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 59:08

I'll report back. I'm gonna be like, you could drive. You can take the kids.

SPEAKER_01 59:14

The last time we we drove to Maine was 20 hours. I'm proud of myself. I drove the entire way. We left at 2 a.m. This was when I was like newly pregnant with Noah. I drove 20 hours. We left at 2 a.m. and I got there at like 10:30 that night. Slept in it for an hour in a Cabella's parking lot. That's how I slept. And I was like, this fucking I was like, I'm determined. I'm not stopping. I'm hell bent on getting there. Yeah, I don't think before they do that. Yeah. I'm built different.

SPEAKER_00 59:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 59:42

Not in a good way.

SPEAKER_00 59:44

I don't enjoy after like an hour of driving. I'm like, okay, I'm done. This is boring. Passenger princess. I just get bored. Like, I mean, the way Gil drives.

SPEAKER_01 59:52

I'm a control freak. I prefer to drive.

SPEAKER_00 59:54

I don't mind Adam's. Adam's decent. I mean, he's been driving a lot longer than me, so I all you have probably been driving. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:02

Well, I didn't get my driver's license until I was like 18 because I didn't want to.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:07

Well, I got my license at 17, but I didn't get a car until I could pay for it.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:11

I didn't get a car until I moved here, so I was 21.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:16

Wow.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:17

Yeah. Huh. That's wild. I forget you're from a city, so like you didn't get a car.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:27

Yeah, that too.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:28

Yeah. I'm not from the city, so like things are kind of far. Like I couldn't walk to school. I did not live in a city.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:34

You walked? I had to walk to the car. How far was it?

SPEAKER_01 1:00:38

Your parents wouldn't take you to work? I moved out when I was 17. That's right.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:41

Jeez. And to work at Price Chopper at 4 a.m.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:44

Jesus. 4 a.m. Is that when you worked in the fish department? Yes. Wow. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:48

I had class starting at 10, so I needed a job that would start earlier. And then when my classes were done, I worked at sex direction.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:55

It's so crazy to me the lives that we have lived before we knew each other. Yeah. Yeah. You know? Very distinct. You wore a turban. You worked. I wore a turban like twice. I was in a cold. Worked in a seafood department. I would never in a million years be like, I could see that.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:12

I don't know I worked as a cashier, and one day they were like, hey, they need help back there. Like and then it just stuck. And I was like, yeah, whatever, I'll help. And then they never let me left. And I never left. That's it. That's crazy. But one day I was like, all right. Yeah. And so I was like, I quit today. That's crazy. I worked on a psych unit.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:35

For what? For when?

SPEAKER_00 1:01:36

When I was in nursing school, I worked on psych. I was I saw patients punch other patients.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:01:41

Nurses get pinned up against the wall. That's crazy.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:45

Mm-hmm. Yeah. And here I am in psych in P school. Mm-hmm. I'm like, but I don't want to. I mean, I know I'll have to do the rotations and stuff, but like I don't want to work in like a emergency.

SPEAKER_00 1:01:59

No, you know. Inpatient psych was interesting, but and they were like, Do you want to work here after school? I was like, I feel like I needed another experience before.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:07

Totally different type of nursing.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:08

I'm just like confused. So you want me to work for the same amount of pay, but it's like 10 times more risky. I'm conf like, yeah, no. I'm all set. I didn't. I mean, it was that that job was easy.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:19

Not easy.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:19

It's I feel like you don't have any real like I wanted nursing skills. Like it's a totally different style of nursing.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:26

They were like communication and like passing meds through a glass wall.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:31

Yep. Passing meds through glass wall.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:32

When we did our psych rotation, I was like, nah, I'm good.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:36

I had to do EKGs by myself in the rooms. And the one time I was doing it, the lady was like, You suck at this, you suck at this, you suck at this. She kept saying it.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:44

I was like, oh fuck, I do suck at this. I feel like I would really if you could calm down, you're altering my bolts. Yeah. Like, man, I learned how to do that. Please. Yeah. I didn't need you to stop talking. She's scared of me. Get the fuck out of here.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:59

Yeah. I didn't realize how many. One is like nerdy as fuck, but I didn't realize how many psych meds actually like prolong your heart. Fuck up your heart. They prolong your QT and all that shit. Because all the meds of this the cra we want to give the crazy people in the ICU, they're like, oh no, man, let's prolong QTC. I'm like, fuck. Like, do they know howldol? Haldol sucks. Yeah. I love how like actually I should probably shouldn't say that on the air.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:26

Never mind.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:27

I'm just gonna stop the air. Did we actually like have a point to this episode? Or chinn and talk.

SPEAKER_00 1:03:35

I feel like I haven't seen when's the last when have I seen you guys last? Last weekend.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:39

Was that Saturday? Like two days ago. When have I seen you? No, it was on Saturday. Oh, by the way, you didn't even say bot to us the other night. Sorry. Oh yeah. I she we both looked at it. I said, Is that what Sasai Ba? I wasn't saying is she like gone though? She's Irish goodbye to us.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:54

I don't usually do that. No, she's gone. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:56

I think he's having a rough day. No, that's okay. We were like, we'll let it slide, but I'm definitely bringing it up again.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:02

My bad.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:03

I usually don't do that. No, I know. I said, this bitch is Irish goodbye to us. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:07

Not even Irish.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:08

You can Irish goodbye and not be Irish. I'd love an Irish goodbye. But Gil never lets me do it. He's like a fucking has to be like, oh guys, I'm leaving. And like has to do like a 45-minute goodbye. And I'm like, can we just like leave? That's just nobody's gonna do it.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:23

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So part of my other life when I did pre-turbine or post post-turban. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:29

That's how we're gonna like identify being fine in life.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:33

I did a Hispanic guy, and when you had when you left places, you had to give every single person like a kiss on the cheek and a hug. And I was that that is my awkward thing. Yeah. Because I'd be like, and some people don't do the hug, some people just do the kiss. So you're you had to know each other. That was my nightmare.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:52

I could never be with a Hispanic man.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:54

Do you do the hug and kiss? Do you just do the kiss?

SPEAKER_01 1:04:56

Do you do the hug?

SPEAKER_02 1:04:57

No.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:58

I'd be like, this isn't a lot of touching for me. And if you didn't do it, you got definitely got judged. Ugh.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:03

Judge away.

SPEAKER_00 1:05:04
