Late we met on Instagram, like you and Chess.

That's what we were talking about tonight, and I wanted
to dive into that right away. Is I asked in Berto,
how did you two met meet? And he said Instagram?
And I said, that's how my wife and I met,
Which is such an incredible thing that you hear it
more and more, I guess, but I would love for
you to just repeat because Courtney's obviously from this franchise.
People out there freaking out that they get the meet
(01:55):
her in person. You are not familiar with this franchise
and you weren't familiar with the friendranchise.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
When you message each other, he doesn't care at all.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
But when you why did.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
You why did you message her? And how did this
even come about?
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (02:12):
No, no, no, we talked about a little bit. I I
I knew who she was, knew of her sort of,
you know, because we're both from Phoenix. I feel like
she was, you know, on the news or TV or something.
Speaker 7 (02:23):
I didn't. I didn't watch the batch, so I didn't
follow anything.
Speaker 8 (02:26):
I had no real idea of you know, how it
all work for the most part. But I knew who
she was and she was on Instagram. I was new
to social media, you know.
Speaker 7 (02:35):
I looked her up.
Speaker 8 (02:37):
I saw her and uh, you know, I was telling
you to one of the things, like she was just
a cool girl. Like there wasn't a lot of like
risky photos you know she was.
Speaker 7 (02:47):
It wasn't like, you know, it was just cool stuff.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
She was cools put it out there.
Speaker 8 (02:52):
Yeah, it wasn't like she wasn't like it just wasn't that.
You know, she has seemed very cool, very chill, right
down to earth.
Speaker 7 (03:00):
You know. So I liked a few photos.
Speaker 8 (03:03):
Sure enough, she ends up responding and sends me a
DM like do we know each other?
Speaker 7 (03:07):
Have we ever met? And I'm like, no, I'm pretty
sure I remembered you.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Hold on, hold on. So this is interesting. So Courtney
actually theoretically like a lot of pictures I like bowling photos, basketball,
and no one's following me.
Speaker 6 (03:20):
I had seen you had been like my photos for
two years.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
But how did you know?
Speaker 5 (03:24):
I just saw him.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
You know how our feets can get a little crazy,
And I was like, oh, I've seen this guy, like
maybe you know in real estate you meet people, And
I was like, or you meet somebody and then they
follow you and then like you didn't.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
Follow them back.
Speaker 6 (03:37):
That's what I truly did think, like maybe we met before,
because I keep seeing his name in my feet like
as a like and then I to.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Be fair, it's not like John Smith. No, it's a
Bertha Press.
Speaker 7 (03:48):
You gotta stand you.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
That's and he never commented.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
So I looked at his patures like phoenix looks like
it comes from a good family, not posting like weird stuff.
Like it was like all family oriented, which is like
my love language.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
So I messaged him.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
I was like, I'm just I kind of thought maybe
we met, but long story short, you wrote back right away.
We went on a date three days later. We lived
five blocks from each other on.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
This same on the same street, on the same street.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
And I was just like spent on dating. Like I
was like kind of at that, like you know, I
need to put myself out there more.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
I'm my homebody.
Speaker 6 (04:23):
And on that like first date, like he was like
with intention, like we had like a you actually liked
that I got up to check the sun's game.
Speaker 8 (04:31):
I liked a lot of things I've told people I've
told what what's the One of the funniest parts of
that night was. I remember like it was yesterday, so
it was Friday. I don't Diamondbacks versus Red Sox opening day.
Speaker 7 (04:46):
It was like a three.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Thirty first link too.
Speaker 8 (04:50):
I go with one of my best friends, so i'd
lived with at the time, and we were We get
absolutely obliterated. We're like, met friends from his from work.
I knew another attorney who's there. She's a big Red
Sox fan. We're getting drinks. We end up doing shots
and I think Hennessey or something whatever.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Yeah, no, no, it was. It was bad.
Speaker 7 (05:11):
It was all bad. I called her.
Speaker 8 (05:13):
We hadn't met yet, and I called her and I
was like, listen, I want to meet up. I still
want to be help with you, but I got to
tell you something I'm not.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
I was already in an uber to meet it because
guys picked me up to meet this night.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (05:25):
I was like, I'm in bad shape, Like just so
you tonight and I said maybe not tonight, Like I'm
not trying to I'm not trying to flake on you,
Like I'm just trying to be like, don't hold it
against the kind of best version and She's like, no, no.
Speaker 7 (05:41):
We're good, Like I'm gonna I'll be right there.
Speaker 8 (05:43):
I remember like running down the stream in Phoenix to
catch my uber. Like I remember like I saw someone
that I knew was like yelling at me.
Speaker 7 (05:50):
Like what are you doing. I was like, I got
to catch an.
Speaker 8 (05:51):
Uber because yeah, so it might have been like he
was going to a son's game.
Speaker 7 (05:58):
So he was in a parking street person.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Jeans and John Taylor's and I was like, I'm not
putting much into this.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
I was like, so over dating.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
So I mean, this is where it comes to you.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Then you obviously come off the show and like attention
was not something that maybe you wanted, but you were getting.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Well, you were a lightning rod I d right. I mean,
you're the only one I've ever seen a meme. It's like,
you know, it was so good.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Now they would have just just tortured me, and with
the memes and the.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Tetok I felt like they kind of did then in
a weird way. But you came off as in this
way that you were just kind of like double guns
in it every step of the way. But it's not you.
You're such a your version of the person that we
saw on that show, and I mean that is a
very big compent.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
By the way, You're not kind of you to say, well,
I honestly.
Speaker 9 (06:56):
You're such a great word for he literally watch watch
you know that you like practiced eight times.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
Using the perfect I'm using the perfect tak.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
The thing that I loved you.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
I mean to take it back to like put a
bow on that story was like I remember that night.
I didn't want to lead with the show stuff. He
didn't care about it. And it was hard to date
after the show because people saw me and they're like, oh,
she's this girl who went skinny topping and this and that,
and like I attracted a lot of like.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
The wrong type of people.
Speaker 6 (07:32):
Sure, but like when I met you, he just like
you said, doesn't care and he's like the least cool
thing about you is that you after you got to
know me a little bit, is that you went on
The Bachelor, And I was like, thank you, like whereas
when I will.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Don't all hope that's what our partners. I watch the
show either, so.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
And I think Jessica and I have talked about the show.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Did she did she watch her season? He's not watched mine.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Goodness, we've talked about the show and like intimacy and
not just like passing, oh there's a or whatever. Five
times in our relationship. I think most of those were
within the first few months, like it's not a thing,
and it was yeah, it's refreshing, I guess. But like
here's my question for you. There wasn't like a moment
where I was like, oh, it's so nice not to
(08:17):
have this a part of my life or talk about
it or whatever, because it is something I'm you know,
it's a big part of my life.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
Yes, you're still in it, you do a podcast.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
It's different with my wife, like it's I know when
I'm with her.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
There was never that idea.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Or never that baggage or never that those questions and so.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Expectation, expectations.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
So what about this relationship made you go this is
what I actually want to commit to?
Speaker 5 (08:45):
Yeah, oh gosh, so many things. I mean, I mean
you look at like.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
Going on a first date, like core values like family
and the way he talked about his mom even on
the first date and he went to law school in
New York and then it's not his mom this, No,
he didn't we talked about like on our first date,
like I I believe it or not, this is a
kind of an interesting story. On our first date that morning,
(09:10):
I went because I was thirty six, and I went
into look into freezing my eggs because I was like,
I'm ready to like really actively date here. I remember
you texted me that morning and you were like, what
are you doing today? I was like, I have a meeting.
I'm actually going to Like, look, I think I just
told you. I was like, I was like I want
to meet people and be like I'm like thirty six,
Like I knew I wanted a family, and you told
(09:31):
me that night. You're like if I met somebody who
didn't want a family, that would be a non starter.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
Like we talked like like I knew, Like you know.
Speaker 6 (09:37):
When you go on a date when you're single and
you're like, is this a date? Like we just met
on Instagram friends. Yeah, but like we talked about like
it felt like an old school date, like core values.
He talked about going to law school, his mom got
diagnosed with breast cancer right before he left, and should
I go, and like just the way he talked about
his family and he met my family like right away,
(09:58):
which I never do. Yeah, I mean, and they loved him.
But like, apart from the show, I mean, that's a
tough question. I just yard saled. Sorry, guys, I met
the bridal shower, the baby shower.
Speaker 7 (10:11):
There would have been guilt, that was the thought.
Speaker 8 (10:13):
But I talked to my mom and you know, my
sister and family, and there would have at the end
of the day, there would have been more guilt not
to go. I don't stay. You can't do anything if
you If you stay for her, she's going to be
miserable and she's going to think she kept you, she.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Kept you back from right.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
Yeah, but we did have some growing pains in the
beginning of our relationship. Everybody everybody does, so like I
don't think he really I was like, well, you didn't
do your homework because he was like once we started
getting serious, I mean we met in April and then
he moved in in July because I wouldn't like I knew.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
I was like, this is the person for me.
Speaker 6 (10:53):
But then like the book stuff started, Like I think
he kind of like started hearing stuff and like that,
you know the clickbait ben oh, yeah, the clickbait and
like how headlines are I'm like, you gotta like, you
don't you're not getting context about my book. Like if
you read like the you know when you go on
a podcast, they don't do their due diligence and it's like, oh,
I just read the cliffs notes, like yeah, there's more
to make.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Friends, and you did this and you did that.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
It's like it's like that's just a headline, but like
you didn't read and Ben wrote a book, like you know,
there's more to the story.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
But it was it was you were like, what if
we have kids.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
Someday and they're like, I'm you know, your mom would
like what are his friends going to say? And I
was like, they're gonna say, my mom wrote a New
York Times bestseller, right, and that she's a strong, independent woman,
and and we little stuff like that, but then we
got through it.
Speaker 7 (11:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
No, So that's that's what defines not just relationships with friendships, right,
You go through adversity and you come out the other
end stronger.
Speaker 7 (11:48):
No.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
I think it says a lot about all relationships, like
you go through your things and you come out on
the other side. If you don't have any challenges, then
you never know what you're made of.
Speaker 8 (11:56):
I just think for me, personally, I think it was
just something obviously new to me.
Speaker 7 (12:00):
I was not in the public eye.
Speaker 8 (12:01):
I'd never had anybody talk to me or take pictures
of me or anything, you know.
Speaker 7 (12:06):
I I think that the timing was for the most.
Speaker 8 (12:09):
Part, when we announced Joaquin, you know, the pregnancy was
hard for him, and I was like, well, you know,
I felt like Joaquin's like the pregnancy and our baby
was kind of second fiddle to like anything they could
say negative about Courtney, like she was this, she was
that she was the villain. It was like pictures of
(12:32):
the Bachelor instead of like I was like, well, it's
something nice for us to announce, like we were in
New York, you know, we pictures from New York that
we you know, the magazine.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Guy I love New York one.
Speaker 8 (12:43):
Yeah, And it was like everything was tailored towards like
ridiculing her and like bringing up old stuff with her
rather than like, oh, yeah.
Speaker 7 (12:50):
We're gonna have a baby. Guys, Like it's kind of it's.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
The dark side of of what we've all been blessed with, Right,
you get this opportunity. There's great things that come with it,
but there's also that ship that comes with it too.
That that is exactly what you're talking about, where they're
they're almost unearthing stuff to not let you celebrate that moment,
right just to point out, you know. And it's she.
Speaker 6 (13:10):
And she's like, it's like, we're not going to send
these articles to Like he's like, I don't want to
send this to my parents.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
Like it stills.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
This day, like you, oh, yeah, we announced that we
got pregnant. And then at the end of the article
is like Ben Higgins and Lorne Bushnell in season whatever
broke up, and it's like, well, that's a wild ending
too for us.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
Or for us our kids will do something and they'll say,
Bob was previously married to actress and it's like.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
They still have.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Her own family too, and we like each other and
we're fine, Like you don't have to tell me. You
have to remind everyone that you know.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
But here is the point to it all.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
And I'm Bertha, this is a question for you like history,
and I think it's a good lesson for any of
it listens to us who has been on the show,
Like that was a really terrible moment history. That's that's brutal,
that that was the way that existed, and that the
way that people handled it. But looking back now, like
those negative stories are no longer really they hold no
(14:23):
weight in your life.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
I'm assuming, right, zero.
Speaker 7 (14:25):
Zero, I care less, Like, yeah, it means nothing anymore.
Speaker 8 (14:28):
Like I said, time heels life.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
For anybody is when they're sitting in these moments of despair,
no matter where you're at, if you've been on the
show or you're just maybe you have a bad rumor
in high school.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Right, we have a lot of high schoolers.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
That listen to this thing, sure, and they're sitting there
like this is the world's falling down around me.
Speaker 7 (14:46):
Everybody hates me, and I get it.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
It's not an that's that's not a feeling that you
should feel a shame about or that nobody else has
felt that way. We've all probably room could have those
time and and some some length will look back and
you'll be like, that was a moment I had some growth.
It's understanding I saw things maybe a little more clearly.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
It's a perspective.
Speaker 7 (15:07):
Oh yeah, I mean that time heals all wounds, and
time is obviously it's you know cyclical.
Speaker 8 (15:14):
Yeah, like and time like I don't have time to
deal with it. I mean like, yeah, three kids, like
three kids, Like for me to go read articles now,
I can guarantee you that's not happening, Like I don't care,
Like honestly, at this point, they.
Speaker 7 (15:31):
Can write whatever they want, like, you know, person, I
don't care.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Person. It's like it doesn't matter what I did.
Speaker 7 (15:38):
Then, Like that's not any different.
Speaker 8 (15:41):
You know, the love was there, it's just the fact
that like I think I was annoyed.
Speaker 7 (15:46):
That's like you know, you're.
Speaker 8 (15:47):
Yeah, you're like you're taking away from our stuff, like
you're attacking her.
Speaker 7 (15:53):
Well or maybe not attacking, but like I remember one
of the articles or the like.
Speaker 8 (15:57):
The clickbaits or the you know, the the links was
like the ending of it was like the proposal for
her and the Bachelor. Yeah, like you know like if
I send this to my sisters, they're gonna like watch
the proposal, like they're not going to see like because
it'd be cool, right, Like not everybody has People magazine
for their kids.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
You're going to have that in Touch or whatever it is.
Speaker 8 (16:20):
You know, it's like it's cool if they're they're on
this and there's an article about them, Like they'll all
get to see an article about them someday, right, but
it's like the stuff with walking, especially Joaquin, like it's
fizzled out as you get to baby number three. Yeah, Joaquin,
like every article was like Courtney's first child.
Speaker 7 (16:39):
You know, she was the villain, she was a little.
Speaker 8 (16:45):
And then it was like the end was like the proposal,
and I was like, you know.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
It really went for it. But I sure just has
dealt with that.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
So I had I look out for Canyon my wife
a lot with those moments when we had all her
name's Jessica also, but yeah, I call her Candy as long. Sorry,
but I remember saying I was like, thank you. I
remember saying to them. I was like, guys, like I
get it when you walk like, well, my mom walks
into the grocery store and sees me on the cover
of magazine with the split down the middle and all
(17:14):
this kind of shit, and it's conjecture. I'm not Brad Pitt,
Like I'm not getting twenty million a movie, right, I'm
a real show guy who's going back to his day gig,
so leave me alone. Yeah, and I saw get it
on Bertha. I really do, like I get it, Like
there comes a point where you're like the you know,
then for me, you know, and like, what the hell
(17:35):
you know? So I I do totally get that, and
I get what you're saying. I think there are moments
when you're kind of like, you know, and back then
it was actual, real magazines. Now it's all online. Yeah,
hur'st way worse, I think, because anyone can say whatever
they want, you know, online and you know, you know,
no one, I.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
Don't go there. It's the dark, you know.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
But back then it was like I'd see it on
the cover of magazine when I'm at Farmer Jack's with
my mom and it's like this really sucks, you know,
because I didn't know that was coming out this yeah
or whatever. So okay, guys, I love first of all,
I love your guys relationship. I know we both courtey
I have. I've always adored you, and I love on
(18:12):
birth the Press. I think it's so cool to have
you guys in the show. But it is time to
play a game that, you know, because Ben is a
new dad to be and I don't think that Ben
really understands what goes into this whole game. Right now,
he gets it, like he's got to say, for college,
right he gets in this stuff, but does Ben understand
how much certain things cost at this stage in the game.
(18:34):
So what we're gonna do is, we're gonna play a
game called the Price is Right, which I've always wanted
to do. We're gonna guess the price of these common
baby items. I'm gonna go to my two experienced resources
after Ben has already answered the question. Okay, so Ben,
you may or may not know this, but a baby
bathtub is a necessity, right, So you can't just show
(18:56):
your kid in a real time game. We're gonna play
this game. You gotta throw him at a to that you know.
Not only does it show you the temperature, which you
may gauge with your elbow, now is going to show
us the weight of this child when the water weight
is dispersed. There are several items that go into digital display,
items that go into this bathtub.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
So this is a digital bathtub.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
It is a well, it's a standard baby bathtub. Actually
that you would get a bad bathroom beyond it, I
still exist it or some other.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
Child they go, they gone.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
So Ben, in your mind, what would a baby bathtub cost?
And is someone keeping track of these items? Or five
forty five dollars? I think okay, I feel like you cheated.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
First of all, can I interject here, Yes, I don't
think we have a digital bathtub.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
I think we need to clarify digital baths.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Experience.
Speaker 7 (19:50):

they include gelatin items, they include little stars that move around.

I can take as many hand me downs as you can.
Speaker 5 (31:50):
That's what we do, and.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Diaper sponsorships, Bobby. One last question I do.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
I thank you for letting me ask it. So, guys,
Ben Higgins easily the most sensitive of the Bachelor's I
love him so much. I love this guy. He didn't
think he was worthy of love when you went on
the show, and now he is this guy who's in
this incredibly loving relationship. They are expecting a child. We
are here for the baby shower, the two of you.
(32:21):
Let's give him a little bit of advice. Okay, what
is the best piece of advice you can give to
my dear friend Ben Higgins about having a child, being
a father, being a father in Berto? Go ahead?
Speaker 6 (32:33):
Well, first of all, I would say, do you want advice,
because I don't think you need any want. I truly
don't think you need advice.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
He doesn't need it. He's a genius, this kid.
Speaker 6 (32:44):
Everybody knows, Harret, you're having a girl, right I would
just give you a cup. I thought about this on
our way out here. First of all, you're gonna have
unconditional love your heart. It's like the Grinch. Your heart's
gonna grow exponentially. Like it's that feeling is I wish
you could bottle up and sell it. And your love
for your wife is going to be even that much stronger.
(33:07):
As I speak for you, but like for my husband,
it is like it's just it bonds you that much
better and like we're closer.
Speaker 5 (33:17):
Also, wipe front to back.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
Right, because it's a girl.
Speaker 5 (33:21):
It's a girl front to back.
Speaker 7 (33:24):
Yes, you know, whatever you want with the boys.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
Those kids, tell them, just to make sure it's clean.
You go front to back for obvious reasons.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 6 (33:36):
Now take a lot of phoes and take a lot
of photos of you of Jess with the baby, because
I have so many in my cameras, all the babies
and him. But take pictures of Jess too, like candids.
That's my advice to you, and just enjoy it. I mean,
you're going to be amazing.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Front to back.
Speaker 5 (33:53):
And also don't let her sit in.
Speaker 6 (33:55):
You know, with girl the parts are different, so you know,
if she's wet. Like with boys, you can kind of
let them and their we diapers longer. Just change her
now you know the price of diapers.
Speaker 8 (34:04):
So yeah, I think a couple of things I would
say is be present, literally and figuratively, like your kids
want to be around you. You know, we're leaving today
this morning to fly out here. You know, they're saying,
you know, our girl Plomb was like, Daddy, you know.
Speaker 7 (34:22):
Stay home.
Speaker 8 (34:23):
I want you to stay home, like, don't leave, don't
have like you'll be fine, You'll be fine.
Speaker 7 (34:27):
Like they want you either to be present. My mom
my mom watches them, so she's.
Speaker 8 (34:32):
Shout out to Nana. She's spending the night with them.
The present literally with them figuratively like, you know, be.
Speaker 7 (34:39):
In the moment, you know when they're around, you.
Speaker 8 (34:41):
Know, be you know obviously we all have cell phones,
will have things to do. We got food to make
and chores and everything else.
Speaker 7 (34:48):
But you know, be present. The other thing is we
got a lot of butts to clean right now. Absolutely.
The other thing is I think you have to try,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 8 (34:55):
Like I'm a big sports guy, and you know, I
don't think you picked the athlete. You don't get to
be good at something by sitting on your ass and
doing nothing.
Speaker 4 (35:04):
You got to try. Kobe Bryant like the black Man, right, Yeah.
Speaker 8 (35:07):
I'm a I'm a Lakers fan like mama isn't sitting
around every day eating Bond bonds, watching TV shows like
he's working at it. And that's saying like I go
to bed at night, we go to bed and we're tired,
like I busted my ass all day, either I'm at
work or I'm at home and I'm doing stuff and
I'm trying, like I'm trying to take care of my kids.
Speaker 7 (35:26):
Like that's the deal. I might not be good at it,
like I might not be.
Speaker 8 (35:30):
I have a feeling I'm trying, like I was saying,
like every night I go to bed, I'm tired.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
I know.
Speaker 8 (35:35):
I'm like, you gotta try.
Speaker 4 (35:38):
I think you hit the jackpot. Honestly, God with this guy,
I really do, because i've for years. What a pleasure
to meet you, man, And it's not easy to be
it's not easy to be someone who's who's married to
someone from this franchise.
Speaker 6 (35:55):
It's just not today's I'm gonna send her a gift, yeah,
please do. And I want to send you a little
snuggy like little things that like, there are certain things
that you you will use like constantly, and they're not
the big ticket items. They're like little things like the
sug that smells like you that we.
Speaker 5 (36:15):
Like, I wouldn't send you just random and that makes
you happy.
Speaker 8 (36:19):
Like the stuff that we use and end up using,
the things that people bought a lot about is the excess, dude,
we had. If you have diapers, if you have formula,
and if you have like we use these little white
T shirts you snap on.
Speaker 6 (36:35):
Because it would have these little umbilical cords, so like
you want to address.
Speaker 7 (36:39):
Them, like, we had so many clothes that they never wore.
We had so many things they never played with. The
first the first Christmas.
Speaker 8 (36:47):
With walking, all you want to do is play with
the wrapping paper like you didn't care about anything like it.
Speaker 7 (36:52):
They're so simple.
Speaker 8 (36:54):
Break it down, get them a cardboard box and they'll
play in it for an hour. And then when they
learn how to write and draw the drawn at for
hours like.
Speaker 6 (37:01):
It's and then Dad breaks down the boxes and that
goes does just do that?
Speaker 2 (37:06):
No, I break down the boxes.
Speaker 5 (37:08):
Oh, I just throw them outside and I see him
out there.
Speaker 4 (37:10):
Like.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
She has this step in the garage. She just kind
of tosses them off. They all into this pile. And
then about every two days I walk down Amazon.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
It is my.
Speaker 3 (37:21):

even come about?
Speaker 4 (02:12):

No, no, no, we talked about a little bit. I I
I knew who she was, knew of her sort of,
you know, because we're both from Phoenix. I feel like
she was, you know, on the news or TV or something.
Speaker 7 (02:23):
I didn't. I didn't watch the batch, so I didn't
follow anything.
Speaker 8 (02:26):
I had no real idea of you know, how it
all work for the most part. But I knew who
she was and she was on Instagram. I was new
to social media, you know.
Speaker 7 (02:35):
I looked her up.
Speaker 8 (02:37):
I saw her and uh, you know, I was telling
you to one of the things, like she was just
a cool girl. Like there wasn't a lot of like
risky photos you know she was.

You know, she has seemed very cool, very chill, right
down to earth.
Speaker 7 (03:00):

Speaker 8 (03:03):
Sure enough, she ends up responding and sends me a
DM like do we know each other?
Speaker 7 (03:07):
Have we ever met? And I'm like, no, I'm pretty
sure I remembered you.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Hold on, hold on. So this is interesting. So Courtney
actually theoretically like a lot of pictures I like bowling photos, basketball,
and no one's following me.
Speaker 6 (03:20):
I had seen you had been like my photos for
two years.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
But how did you know?
Speaker 5 (03:24):
I just saw him.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
You know how our feets can get a little crazy,
And I was like, oh, I've seen this guy, like
maybe you know in real estate you meet people, And
I was like, or you meet somebody and then they
follow you and then like you didn't.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
Follow them back.
Speaker 6 (03:37):
That's what I truly did think, like maybe we met before,
because I keep seeing his name in my feet like
as a like and then I to.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Be fair, it's not like John Smith. No, it's a
Bertha Press.
Speaker 7 (03:48):
You gotta stand you.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
That's and he never commented.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
So I looked at his patures like phoenix looks like
it comes from a good family, not posting like weird stuff.
Like it was like all family oriented, which is like
my love language.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
So I messaged him.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
I was like, I'm just I kind of thought maybe
we met, but long story short, you wrote back right away.
We went on a date three days later. We lived
five blocks from each other on.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
This same on the same street, on the same street.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
And I was just like spent on dating. Like I
was like kind of at that, like you know, I
need to put myself out there more.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
I'm my homebody.
Speaker 6 (04:23):
And on that like first date, like he was like
with intention, like we had like a you actually liked
that I got up to check the sun's game.
Speaker 8 (04:31):
I liked a lot of things I've told people I've
told what what's the One of the funniest parts of
that night was. I remember like it was yesterday, so
it was Friday. I don't Diamondbacks versus Red Sox opening day.
Speaker 7 (04:46):
It was like a three.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Thirty first link too.
Speaker 8 (04:50):
I go with one of my best friends, so i'd
lived with at the time, and we were We get
absolutely obliterated. We're like, met friends from his from work.
I knew another attorney who's there. She's a big Red
Sox fan. We're getting drinks. We end up doing shots
and I think Hennessey or something whatever.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Yeah, no, no, it was. It was bad.
Speaker 7 (05:11):
It was all bad. I called her.
Speaker 8 (05:13):
We hadn't met yet, and I called her and I
was like, listen, I want to meet up. I still
want to be help with you, but I got to
tell you something I'm not.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
I was already in an uber to meet it because
guys picked me up to meet this night.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (05:25):
I was like, I'm in bad shape, Like just so
you tonight and I said maybe not tonight, Like I'm
not trying to I'm not trying to flake on you,
Like I'm just trying to be like, don't hold it
against the kind of best version and She's like, no, no.
Speaker 7 (05:41):
We're good, Like I'm gonna I'll be right there.
Speaker 8 (05:43):
I remember like running down the stream in Phoenix to
catch my uber. Like I remember like I saw someone
that I knew was like yelling at me.
Speaker 7 (05:50):
Like what are you doing. I was like, I got
to catch an.
Speaker 8 (05:51):
Uber because yeah, so it might have been like he
was going to a son's game.
Speaker 7 (05:58):
So he was in a parking street person.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Jeans and John Taylor's and I was like, I'm not
putting much into this.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
I was like, so over dating.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
So I mean, this is where it comes to you.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Then you obviously come off the show and like attention
was not something that maybe you wanted, but you were getting.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Well, you were a lightning rod I d right. I mean,
you're the only one I've ever seen a meme. It's like,
you know, it was so good.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Now they would have just just tortured me, and with
the memes and the.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Tetok I felt like they kind of did then in
a weird way. But you came off as in this
way that you were just kind of like double guns
in it every step of the way. But it's not you.
You're such a your version of the person that we
saw on that show, and I mean that is a
very big compent.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
By the way, You're not kind of you to say, well,
I honestly.
Speaker 9 (06:56):
You're such a great word for he literally watch watch
you know that you like practiced eight times.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
Using the perfect I'm using the perfect tak.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
The thing that I loved you.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
I mean to take it back to like put a
bow on that story was like I remember that night.
I didn't want to lead with the show stuff. He
didn't care about it. And it was hard to date
after the show because people saw me and they're like, oh,
she's this girl who went skinny topping and this and that,
and like I attracted a lot of like.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
The wrong type of people.
Speaker 6 (07:32):
Sure, but like when I met you, he just like
you said, doesn't care and he's like the least cool
thing about you is that you after you got to
know me a little bit, is that you went on
The Bachelor, And I was like, thank you, like whereas
when I will.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Don't all hope that's what our partners. I watch the
show either, so.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
And I think Jessica and I have talked about the show.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Did she did she watch her season? He's not watched mine.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Goodness, we've talked about the show and like intimacy and
not just like passing, oh there's a or whatever. Five
times in our relationship. I think most of those were
within the first few months, like it's not a thing,
and it was yeah, it's refreshing, I guess. But like
here's my question for you. There wasn't like a moment
where I was like, oh, it's so nice not to
(08:17):
have this a part of my life or talk about
it or whatever, because it is something I'm you know,
it's a big part of my life.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
Yes, you're still in it, you do a podcast.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
It's different with my wife, like it's I know when
I'm with her.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
There was never that idea.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Or never that baggage or never that those questions and so.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Expectation, expectations.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
So what about this relationship made you go this is
what I actually want to commit to?
Speaker 5 (08:45):
Yeah, oh gosh, so many things. I mean, I mean
you look at like.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
Going on a first date, like core values like family
and the way he talked about his mom even on
the first date and he went to law school in
New York and then it's not his mom this, No,
he didn't we talked about like on our first date,
like I I believe it or not, this is a
kind of an interesting story. On our first date that morning,
(09:10):
I went because I was thirty six, and I went
into look into freezing my eggs because I was like,
I'm ready to like really actively date here. I remember
you texted me that morning and you were like, what
are you doing today? I was like, I have a meeting.
I'm actually going to Like, look, I think I just
told you. I was like, I was like I want
to meet people and be like I'm like thirty six,
Like I knew I wanted a family, and you told
(09:31):
me that night. You're like if I met somebody who
didn't want a family, that would be a non starter.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
Like we talked like like I knew, Like you know.
Speaker 6 (09:37):
When you go on a date when you're single and
you're like, is this a date? Like we just met
on Instagram friends. Yeah, but like we talked about like
it felt like an old school date, like core values.
He talked about going to law school, his mom got
diagnosed with breast cancer right before he left, and should
I go, and like just the way he talked about
his family and he met my family like right away,
(09:58):
which I never do. Yeah, I mean, and they loved him.
But like, apart from the show, I mean, that's a
tough question. I just yard saled. Sorry, guys, I met
the bridal shower, the baby shower.
Speaker 7 (10:11):
There would have been guilt, that was the thought.
Speaker 8 (10:13):
But I talked to my mom and you know, my
sister and family, and there would have at the end
of the day, there would have been more guilt not
to go. I don't stay. You can't do anything if
you If you stay for her, she's going to be
miserable and she's going to think she kept you, she.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Kept you back from right.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
Yeah, but we did have some growing pains in the
beginning of our relationship. Everybody everybody does, so like I
don't think he really I was like, well, you didn't
do your homework because he was like once we started
getting serious, I mean we met in April and then
he moved in in July because I wouldn't like I knew.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
I was like, this is the person for me.
Speaker 6 (10:53):
But then like the book stuff started, Like I think
he kind of like started hearing stuff and like that,
you know the clickbait ben oh, yeah, the clickbait and
like how headlines are I'm like, you gotta like, you
don't you're not getting context about my book. Like if
you read like the you know when you go on
a podcast, they don't do their due diligence and it's like, oh,
I just read the cliffs notes, like yeah, there's more
to make.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Friends, and you did this and you did that.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
It's like it's like that's just a headline, but like
you didn't read and Ben wrote a book, like you know,
there's more to the story.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
But it was it was you were like, what if
we have kids.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
Someday and they're like, I'm you know, your mom would
like what are his friends going to say? And I
was like, they're gonna say, my mom wrote a New
York Times bestseller, right, and that she's a strong, independent woman,
and and we little stuff like that, but then we
got through it.
Speaker 7 (11:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
No, So that's that's what defines not just relationships with friendships, right,
You go through adversity and you come out the other
end stronger.
Speaker 7 (11:48):
No.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
I think it says a lot about all relationships, like
you go through your things and you come out on
the other side. If you don't have any challenges, then
you never know what you're made of.
Speaker 8 (11:56):
I just think for me, personally, I think it was
just something obviously new to me.
Speaker 7 (12:00):
I was not in the public eye.
Speaker 8 (12:01):
I'd never had anybody talk to me or take pictures
of me or anything, you know.
Speaker 7 (12:06):
I I think that the timing was for the most.
Speaker 8 (12:09):
Part, when we announced Joaquin, you know, the pregnancy was
hard for him, and I was like, well, you know,
I felt like Joaquin's like the pregnancy and our baby
was kind of second fiddle to like anything they could
say negative about Courtney, like she was this, she was
that she was the villain. It was like pictures of
(12:32):
the Bachelor instead of like I was like, well, it's
something nice for us to announce, like we were in
New York, you know, we pictures from New York that
we you know, the magazine.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Guy I love New York one.
Speaker 8 (12:43):
Yeah, And it was like everything was tailored towards like
ridiculing her and like bringing up old stuff with her
rather than like, oh, yeah.
Speaker 7 (12:50):
We're gonna have a baby. Guys, Like it's kind of it's.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
The dark side of of what we've all been blessed with, Right,
you get this opportunity. There's great things that come with it,
but there's also that ship that comes with it too.
That that is exactly what you're talking about, where they're
they're almost unearthing stuff to not let you celebrate that moment,
right just to point out, you know. And it's she.
Speaker 6 (13:10):
And she's like, it's like, we're not going to send
these articles to Like he's like, I don't want to
send this to my parents.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
Like it stills.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
This day, like you, oh, yeah, we announced that we
got pregnant. And then at the end of the article
is like Ben Higgins and Lorne Bushnell in season whatever
broke up, and it's like, well, that's a wild ending
too for us.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
Or for us our kids will do something and they'll say,
Bob was previously married to actress and it's like.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
They still have.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Her own family too, and we like each other and
we're fine, Like you don't have to tell me. You
have to remind everyone that you know.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
But here is the point to it all.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
And I'm Bertha, this is a question for you like history,
and I think it's a good lesson for any of
it listens to us who has been on the show,
Like that was a really terrible moment history. That's that's brutal,
that that was the way that existed, and that the
way that people handled it. But looking back now, like
those negative stories are no longer really they hold no
(14:23):
weight in your life.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
I'm assuming, right, zero.
Speaker 7 (14:25):
Zero, I care less, Like, yeah, it means nothing anymore.
Speaker 8 (14:28):
Like I said, time heels life.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
For anybody is when they're sitting in these moments of despair,
no matter where you're at, if you've been on the
show or you're just maybe you have a bad rumor
in high school.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Right, we have a lot of high schoolers.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
That listen to this thing, sure, and they're sitting there
like this is the world's falling down around me.
Speaker 7 (14:46):
Everybody hates me, and I get it.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
It's not an that's that's not a feeling that you
should feel a shame about or that nobody else has
felt that way. We've all probably room could have those
time and and some some length will look back and
you'll be like, that was a moment I had some growth.
It's understanding I saw things maybe a little more clearly.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
It's a perspective.
Speaker 7 (15:07):
Oh yeah, I mean that time heals all wounds, and
time is obviously it's you know cyclical.
Speaker 8 (15:14):
Yeah, like and time like I don't have time to
deal with it. I mean like, yeah, three kids, like
three kids, Like for me to go read articles now,
I can guarantee you that's not happening, Like I don't care,
Like honestly, at this point, they.
Speaker 7 (15:31):
Can write whatever they want, like, you know, person, I
don't care.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Person. It's like it doesn't matter what I did.
Speaker 7 (15:38):
Then, Like that's not any different.
Speaker 8 (15:41):
You know, the love was there, it's just the fact
that like I think I was annoyed.
Speaker 7 (15:46):
That's like you know, you're.
Speaker 8 (15:47):
Yeah, you're like you're taking away from our stuff, like
you're attacking her.
Speaker 7 (15:53):
Well or maybe not attacking, but like I remember one
of the articles or the like.
Speaker 8 (15:57):
The clickbaits or the you know, the the links was
like the ending of it was like the proposal for
her and the Bachelor. Yeah, like you know like if
I send this to my sisters, they're gonna like watch
the proposal, like they're not going to see like because
it'd be cool, right, Like not everybody has People magazine
for their kids.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
You're going to have that in Touch or whatever it is.
Speaker 8 (16:20):
You know, it's like it's cool if they're they're on
this and there's an article about them, Like they'll all
get to see an article about them someday, right, but
it's like the stuff with walking, especially Joaquin, like it's
fizzled out as you get to baby number three. Yeah, Joaquin,
like every article was like Courtney's first child.
Speaker 7 (16:39):
You know, she was the villain, she was a little.
Speaker 8 (16:45):
And then it was like the end was like the proposal,
and I was like, you know.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
It really went for it. But I sure just has
dealt with that.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
So I had I look out for Canyon my wife
a lot with those moments when we had all her
name's Jessica also, but yeah, I call her Candy as long. Sorry,
but I remember saying I was like, thank you. I
remember saying to them. I was like, guys, like I
get it when you walk like, well, my mom walks
into the grocery store and sees me on the cover
of magazine with the split down the middle and all
(17:14):
this kind of shit, and it's conjecture. I'm not Brad Pitt,
Like I'm not getting twenty million a movie, right, I'm
a real show guy who's going back to his day gig,
so leave me alone. Yeah, and I saw get it
on Bertha. I really do, like I get it, Like
there comes a point where you're like the you know,
then for me, you know, and like, what the hell
(17:35):
you know? So I I do totally get that, and
I get what you're saying. I think there are moments
when you're kind of like, you know, and back then
it was actual, real magazines. Now it's all online. Yeah,
hur'st way worse, I think, because anyone can say whatever
they want, you know, online and you know, you know,
no one, I.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
Don't go there. It's the dark, you know.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
But back then it was like I'd see it on
the cover of magazine when I'm at Farmer Jack's with
my mom and it's like this really sucks, you know,
because I didn't know that was coming out this yeah
or whatever. So okay, guys, I love first of all,
I love your guys relationship. I know we both courtey
I have. I've always adored you, and I love on
(18:12):
birth the Press. I think it's so cool to have
you guys in the show. But it is time to
play a game that, you know, because Ben is a
new dad to be and I don't think that Ben
really understands what goes into this whole game. Right now,
he gets it, like he's got to say, for college,
right he gets in this stuff, but does Ben understand
how much certain things cost at this stage in the game.
(18:34):
So what we're gonna do is, we're gonna play a
game called the Price is Right, which I've always wanted
to do. We're gonna guess the price of these common
baby items. I'm gonna go to my two experienced resources
after Ben has already answered the question. Okay, so Ben,
you may or may not know this, but a baby
bathtub is a necessity, right, So you can't just show
(18:56):
your kid in a real time game. We're gonna play
this game. You gotta throw him at a to that you know.
Not only does it show you the temperature, which you
may gauge with your elbow, now is going to show
us the weight of this child when the water weight
is dispersed. There are several items that go into digital display,
items that go into this bathtub.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
So this is a digital bathtub.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
It is a well, it's a standard baby bathtub. Actually
that you would get a bad bathroom beyond it, I
still exist it or some other.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
Child they go, they gone.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
So Ben, in your mind, what would a baby bathtub cost?
And is someone keeping track of these items? Or five
forty five dollars? I think okay, I feel like you cheated.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
First of all, can I interject here, Yes, I don't
think we have a digital bathtub.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
I think we need to clarify digital baths.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Experience.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
We are not good parents, I guess I think that you.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Guys are a little bit more old school.
Speaker 6 (19:55):
If you have a digital one or a plastic one,
that could be a big just for you.
Speaker 8 (20:00):
Put plastic ones in the bath so that the baby
can fit. But if there is but I would say thirty,
I would say thirty.
Speaker 6 (20:08):
I'd say nineteen ninety nine ninety nine, all right, nineteen
ninety nine thirty and ben, I would say forty nine
ninety nine one dollar.
Speaker 7 (20:18):
No, I would think you would think way more. Dig
it's temperature temperature, gage temperature gauging.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Way bottles.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
This way, Let's run through all the items, and then
we'll run through all the items with them so they
have a chance to think about this.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Because I gotta be honest, I want that answer of
Courtney's to be her.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Okay, fair, that's fair. I'm running down.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Forget what on Berto said, doesn't need the family shop. Yeah, okay, guys,
now we're onto a package of baby socks. I'm gonna
go to Ben first Ben package.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Of baby socks twelve dollars.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Twelve dollars. Guys, I'm guessing you did buy socks for
your children. I'm getting you.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
To seven ninety nine, eight books.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
Seven Wow, your youngest right now?
Speaker 5 (21:03):
Seven months? It doesn't wear, So he.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Doesn't wear Socking's good enough.
Speaker 7 (21:08):
We live in Phoenix, the hottest place on the planet.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Flip flops.
Speaker 8 (21:14):
If we put him in diapers, he sweats, all right.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
A sleep sack do we use? Oh? Yeah, okay, to
a bench first? Then what's the cost of a sleep sack?
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Seventeen ninety nine?
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Okay, oh my god, you guys, I'm nailing these costs
in my head, so clearly I'm way too obsessed with
this stuff.
Speaker 7 (21:34):
Courtney is about eight different options, which.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Not thermal, more of a jersey for speed speed.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
I don't know why I go with the ninety nineteen.
What do you say, that's how they get you to
buy him?
Speaker 4 (21:50):
No, I like it.
Speaker 8 (21:53):
I would say the cheaper and yeah, forty to fifty bucks,
let's go, we'll go forty.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
Yeah, a package of twenty five diapers. We're going minimal absorption.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Thirteen dollars, thirteen dollars I'm.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Gonna go to Umberto next, and then I'm gonna Courtney last.
It feels like a lot.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
That's like fifty cents a.
Speaker 7 (22:15):
Diaper, Yeah, twenty twenty five diapers.
Speaker 8 (22:18):
I'm guessing twenty bucks twenty yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:22):
For twenty five diapers.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Twenty five diapers a lot more.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
This podcast you.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
Share with your same absorbs. There's not like a plus.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
I know, I was thinking of Sorry, I's going with
tampons an eleven years, eleven year guy.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
I would say twelve ninety.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Nine for twelve twelve nine nine thirteen bucks, same as me.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
She said twelve nine nine though is at thirteen. Yeah,
there's a difference. There's a difference, a difference high chair
ben high chairs not magnetic, which they do exist, by
the way, I'm just talking standard issue high chair thirty
five dollars fifty.
Speaker 8 (23:10):
Bucks for me fifty I'll go fifty yeah, same as
quarantine fifty.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Wow. Welcome to the new world.

Yeah, he was like, do you have the answer? But
I can say kids are expensive, gang kids are expensive.

I can take as many hand me downs as you can.
Speaker 5 (31:50):
That's what we do, and.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Diaper sponsorships, Bobby. One last question I do.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
I thank you for letting me ask it. So, guys,
Ben Higgins easily the most sensitive of the Bachelor's I
love him so much. I love this guy. He didn't
think he was worthy of love when you went on
the show, and now he is this guy who's in
this incredibly loving relationship. They are expecting a child. We
are here for the baby shower, the two of you.
(32:21):
Let's give him a little bit of advice. Okay, what
is the best piece of advice you can give to
my dear friend Ben Higgins about having a child, being
a father, being a father in Berto? Go ahead?
Speaker 6 (32:33):
Well, first of all, I would say, do you want advice,
because I don't think you need any want. I truly
don't think you need advice.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
He doesn't need it. He's a genius, this kid.
Speaker 6 (32:44):
Everybody knows, Harret, you're having a girl, right I would
just give you a cup. I thought about this on
our way out here. First of all, you're gonna have
unconditional love your heart. It's like the Grinch. Your heart's
gonna grow exponentially. Like it's that feeling is I wish
you could bottle up and sell it. And your love
for your wife is going to be even that much stronger.
(33:07):
As I speak for you, but like for my husband,
it is like it's just it bonds you that much
better and like we're closer.
Speaker 5 (33:17):
Also, wipe front to back.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
Right, because it's a girl.
Speaker 5 (33:21):
It's a girl front to back.
Speaker 7 (33:24):
Yes, you know, whatever you want with the boys.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
Those kids, tell them, just to make sure it's clean.
You go front to back for obvious reasons.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 6 (33:36):
Now take a lot of phoes and take a lot
of photos of you of Jess with the baby, because
I have so many in my cameras, all the babies
and him. But take pictures of Jess too, like candids.
That's my advice to you, and just enjoy it. I mean,
you're going to be amazing.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Front to back.
Speaker 5 (33:53):
And also don't let her sit in.
Speaker 6 (33:55):
You know, with girl the parts are different, so you know,
if she's wet. Like with boys, you can kind of
let them and their we diapers longer. Just change her
now you know the price of diapers.
Speaker 8 (34:04):
So yeah, I think a couple of things I would
say is be present, literally and figuratively, like your kids
want to be around you. You know, we're leaving today
this morning to fly out here. You know, they're saying,
you know, our girl Plomb was like, Daddy, you know.
Speaker 7 (34:22):
Stay home.
Speaker 8 (34:23):
I want you to stay home, like, don't leave, don't
have like you'll be fine, You'll be fine.
Speaker 7 (34:27):
Like they want you either to be present. My mom
my mom watches them, so she's.
Speaker 8 (34:32):
Shout out to Nana. She's spending the night with them.
The present literally with them figuratively like, you know, be.
Speaker 7 (34:39):
In the moment, you know when they're around, you.
Speaker 8 (34:41):
Know, be you know obviously we all have cell phones,
will have things to do. We got food to make
and chores and everything else.
Speaker 7 (34:48):
But you know, be present. The other thing is we
got a lot of butts to clean right now. Absolutely.
The other thing is I think you have to try,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 8 (34:55):
Like I'm a big sports guy, and you know, I
don't think you picked the athlete. You don't get to
be good at something by sitting on your ass and
doing nothing.
Speaker 4 (35:04):
You got to try. Kobe Bryant like the black Man, right, Yeah.
Speaker 8 (35:07):
I'm a I'm a Lakers fan like mama isn't sitting
around every day eating Bond bonds, watching TV shows like
he's working at it. And that's saying like I go
to bed at night, we go to bed and we're tired,
like I busted my ass all day, either I'm at
work or I'm at home and I'm doing stuff and
I'm trying, like I'm trying to take care of my kids.
Speaker 7 (35:26):
Like that's the deal. I might not be good at it,
like I might not be.
Speaker 8 (35:30):
I have a feeling I'm trying, like I was saying,
like every night I go to bed, I'm tired.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
I know.
Speaker 8 (35:35):
I'm like, you gotta try.
Speaker 4 (35:38):
I think you hit the jackpot. Honestly, God with this guy,
I really do, because i've for years. What a pleasure
to meet you, man, And it's not easy to be
it's not easy to be someone who's who's married to
someone from this franchise.
Speaker 6 (35:55):
It's just not today's I'm gonna send her a gift, yeah,
please do. And I want to send you a little
snuggy like little things that like, there are certain things
that you you will use like constantly, and they're not
the big ticket items. They're like little things like the
sug that smells like you that we.
Speaker 5 (36:15):
Like, I wouldn't send you just random and that makes
you happy.
Speaker 8 (36:19):
Like the stuff that we use and end up using,
the things that people bought a lot about is the excess, dude,
we had. If you have diapers, if you have formula,
and if you have like we use these little white
T shirts you snap on.
Speaker 6 (36:35):
Because it would have these little umbilical cords, so like
you want to address.
Speaker 7 (36:39):
Them, like, we had so many clothes that they never wore.
We had so many things they never played with. The
first the first Christmas.
Speaker 8 (36:47):
With walking, all you want to do is play with
the wrapping paper like you didn't care about anything like it.
Speaker 7 (36:52):
They're so simple.
Speaker 8 (36:54):
Break it down, get them a cardboard box and they'll
play in it for an hour. And then when they
learn how to write and draw the drawn at for
hours like.
Speaker 6 (37:01):
It's and then Dad breaks down the boxes and that
goes does just do that?
Speaker 2 (37:06):
No, I break down the boxes.
Speaker 5 (37:08):
Oh, I just throw them outside and I see him
out there.
Speaker 4 (37:10):
Like.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
She has this step in the garage. She just kind
of tosses them off. They all into this pile. And
then about every two days I walk down Amazon.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
It is my.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
Worst night's double Ben, my headphones on and my knife
