So when last we spoke to Thor, it was a
few days after the baby was born, and we got
to hear the harrowing details of the birth and all
that great stuff that that did happen. And you know
Thor's you know, struggles that he was having at the
time and things like that. Well, Emily and I went
(00:20):
and got to see the baby on Tuesday. We got
to hear a lot more that it has been going on,
and it has been crazy for those two. They can't
really seem to catch a break, which is tough. You
know when you first start have a baby and you know,
either it goes one way or the other. Well, it's
definitely gone the other way for Thor, and he joins us,
(00:41):
right now, what's going on? Dude?
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Hey guys, how's you How you're doing?
Speaker 1 (00:45):

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Before we talk about the baby, we gonna talk about
the Giants firing their coach.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
What I tell you, So the last couple of days,
I said, I said, you've probably been going nuts with
all the you know, the Giants news and the quarterback
news and all that stuff. I mean, I'm like, I
know you and you have to get it out. So
I'm like, I don't know what he's got to be
talking NonStop with your dad and poor Haley. It's been brutal.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Well. First of all, the coach got fired, so I
gave my son a full breakdown of that, and then
and then Jackson Dark got hurt and me and him
cried together. Me and my son cried together when Jackson
Dark got hurt. You know. So, uh, I talked to
(01:34):
you guys on was it Thursday of last week? I
don't know whatever it was. It was the first day
that Haley and I were home.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Yeah, and it was Friday.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
So that day it was Friday, Okay, so it was Friday.
So that day, so we got off with you guys,
and then me and Hailey went to our first pediatrician appointment, which,
by the way, our pediatrician doctor his name is Michael Scott.
How crazy.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Concerned?
Speaker 2 (01:58):
So we I found out it was Michael Scott. I go,
I love this guy. He's our doctor, no matter what. So,
no matter what, I don't care if he's the worst
doctor ever. I love him.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
So does George. Girl going on in the office fun.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yeah, yeah, that's fine. Okay, So we so we go
to the doctor, and you know, we're new parents, so
we realized very quickly that we a for some reason,
didn't bring a stroller, just the car seat and then
and so that was kind of a pain for me
because I had to carry the car seat. And then
also we realized we forgot the diaper back.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Okay, you literally can't go anywhere without that thing, So
we don't have either of that all right, So that
was stressful because you're driving and I realized, man, what
if he.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Poops, what are we gonna do? And like, yeah, no,
dot back. So we realized that. So we get we
get to the doctor's appointment and you know, everything's going fine,
and everything was good, but Haley really wasn't looking good.
She she just I don't know, she wasn't looking great.
Her she was really swollen. Her legs are really swollen
and like kind and her skin on her legs was
(03:05):
kind of yellow, which was weird. So we were kind
of so we asked the pediatrician we were trying to
get an appointment, and the pediatrician actually pulled a favor
and got us up to a doctor office because we
were already at the at the building and Hailey got
some blood work done and her blood pressure was really high.
And on top of that, her like her her some
(03:26):
her liver and kidney amazigmes weren't great. So they said, hey,
you need to go to the hospital right now. So
I grabbed Walker and I grabbed Haley and we went
right back to the hospital and we had to get
and we had to get readmitted. But this time wasn't
for me. It wasn't for Walker. It was for Haley
because she has postpartum pre clampsia.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Oh how scared crazy?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah, yeah, so it was. It was. It was bad,
like to the point where like her blood pressure was
out of control. And then and and also we're at
the hospital and Walker is no longer the patient. It's Haley,
so he she can't be in the room. Is just
a baby. I have to be there with her. So
the three of us were basically stuck in this room
because I don't want to walk around the hospital with
(04:07):
the with the newborn baby, like you know what I mean.
So we're all kind of stuck in this room. And
then they give Haley a twenty four hour magnesium drip,
which is kind of like poison, but it's the only
way to like level out her body. So she was
just and I felt so she was like she looked
like death and like she and because she's on this
magnesium drip, she's not allowed to drink like any water,
(04:29):
like literally a sip of water and some ice chips
for twenty four hours. But she still has to breastfeed. Oh,
it was a nightmare. And then so I said to her,
I'm like, hey, I know you want a breastfeed, but
you're gonna The hospital gave us a pump, so she
was able to pump. And then I was up with
the baby and I listen, I don't want to have
myself in the back. But I did become a super
(04:50):
dag twenty four or forty hour I did.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I mean, listen, Haley was out of commission. So you know,
everyone would always tell me it just kicks in. You
just you just figured it out.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Man, You're just you're just a dad. I mean, there's
nothing special of what you did. I mean, he changed
the baby, but you know, I mean you didn't do
anything special. Yeah, that's that's what you do when you're Yeah,
you don't get a medal or no, no, take care
of you have seen me.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
You have seen me. I was, I was changing diapers.
I was right, I was burping. I was that's what
you do on onesie.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
All right, now, I know that happened last weekend. Were
you there for football Sunday?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
So so that was so that we were hoping to
only be there Friday Saturday. But what happened was they said, Okay,
if you're going to be there for magnesium trip, we
want to also monitor her twenty four hours after the
magnesium trip. So we were stuck there for football Sunday.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
So you you made it for not having to be
there for the birth. Yeah, like that was your big worry.
You gave birth on the like a Tuesday or whatever,
and so that was good. But then now you're back
in the hospital and your your worst nightmare came true.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah, my worst nightmare came true. We were stuck in
the hospital on a football Sunday.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yeah, my wife's on the deathbed and all I cared
about I was watching football well and uh and I'm like,
I'm calling the nurses and I'm like, is any way
i can connect my Apple TV.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Botheringing?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Oh yeah, we had we had I'm not lying to you.
I had the engineer of the hospital come up because
the TV didn't work at one point, and I was like,
why is I'm too nervous, you know. So on Sunday
the football game starts and I did put my son
in a giant shirt, which was great, and Hale was
that's messed up. I don't know if it's messed up.
(06:48):
Hailey was able to Hailey was able to walk around
a little bit. And for some reason this hospital bed,
the speakers for the TV are like in the hospital
bed where they're like on, so like I can't hear anything. Yes,
So Hailey got up to go to the bathroom and
the nurse was helping her something, and I just I
(07:08):
would jump into her hospital bed and I'd watch the
game because I wanted to hear the commentation.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
You're so stupid, thought, how's she doing now?
Speaker 2 (07:21):
So we got out of the hospital Sunday, and we
had some hiccups with her blood pressure. But things are
things are, things are getting better, which is great. You know. Yeah,
it was a rough couple of days, but things are
way better. I mean, well, we spent the first six
out of seven days of his life we were in
the hospital. This is really the first week that we
aren't in the hospital, which is nice. We're still getting
(07:43):
said my parents are here, so we're getting settled in
and Haley, Haley has turned into Sky when it comes
to my baby.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Super annoying, super amazing.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
What do you say it means? It means that she's like,
as Sky would say, Mama, bear to the hell.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Yeah girl, yeah girl, I mean okay.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
So, by the first vaccine he got, Haley cried because
she felt bad. She she if something happens, she like
literally comes running into a room to make sure he's okay.
She doesn't want to she doesn't trust really anybody with
him other than herself. And today he's getting a circumcision.
(08:27):
You're getting circumcised today and no bris, no briscisions, and
she and she not only wants to be there, she's like,
she's like, I want to be in the room with
him and if he needs me, and like I'm like,
can you chill out a little bit?
Speaker 1 (08:43):
I was there for circumcision in the room.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Yeah. Yeah, there's so there's so they're saying like he
can't eat after two pm because the circumcision is at
three point thirty, and she's like, what if he needs
what if he's hungry at three fifteen, and I'm like,
he's gonna be fine.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Now you're saying all this about Haley. I know for
a fact, though, that you have been a little amped
and a little over over doing it when it comes
to certain things as well.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Though, Well, listen, I don't want my kid to die
of the flue. Okay, So so when people come over.
So Eddie and Emily came over, which is really nice.
And by the way, they came over, and the morning
they came over, my dog watched and got sprayed by
a skunk, which was incredible. The second time a dog
of mine was sprayed by a skunk with somebody from
the show call over to my house.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yeah, that did happen.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
So that was a nightmare. My house's stunk. And I
do want to make sure that when everybody comes over,
they're getting hit with hand sanitizer. Hand sanitizer, we're washing
her hands, we're not touching the baby, we're not kissing
the baby. Everyone. We need to be careful because I
don't want this kid to die. Okay, here's have an
immune system yet.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Yeah, Haley, Haley was telling me that, you know, when
she wakes up to feed him in the middle of
the night. She'll wake Thor up to help her because she's,
you know, still had a surgery, and Thor freaks out,
like something's Bad's happened to the baby? Yeah, she says,
He goes, yeah, like he's freaked out.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yeah, I was when you go through what I went
through with Haley, and I had to do everything and
it kind of gave me a little gave me a
little PTSD.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Have you started to figure things out though? Are you
starting to, like, you know, get into some kind of
a routine a little bit.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
We're kind of settling in a little bit having my
parents here, Uh is nice. Her mom's coming back on Friday,
and we are like you're starting, I'm starting to figure
out like what he needs when he doesn't need. I mean,
he really only does three things. He eats, he poops,
he sleeps. But but I'm starting to figure he does
this thing though, it's really annoying where you go to
change him, and while you're changing him, he continues to
(10:49):
go to the bathroom and then he finally stops, and
then you finish, put on his new diaper, put on
his onesie, and then he goes to the bathroom. Against.
You gotta read the whole process. It's really annoying making
me now, it's making me not like them.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Okay, can you can you not say things like that
Emily had a boy, had a boy? I know when
you change boys, you know, if you if you don't
like once the air hits them down there, it makes
them go. And so once we figured that out, we
started using just like a baby towel or baby blanket
or whatever and put it over their stuff. Then you
(11:24):
kind of move them and change them and it stopped.
That stopped happening. Have you figured that.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Part out yet? No, But I'm going to do that today.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Okay, Okay, last last night, it's not easy.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Last night. Last night was our first night where he
didn't so he'll fall Hell, he gets milk drunk, which
is hysterical. Yeah, like he looks like Emily on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Night that's his regular drunk.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Yeah, or on a Wednesday night, who knows. And uh
so he gets all milk drunk. And up until last night,
you just put them and we have a snow. You
put him in the snow and he falls back asleep. Well,
up until last night, he doesn't want to leave Haley's
arms now, so as soon as he falls asleep to
Haley's arms, she goes to put him down and he
(12:10):
loses it. So this is what I mean when we
got a sky situation.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Yeah, you know he's not good because Skuy still does
this with her daughter's.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Loved ones in my arms right now it's radio you
can't see, but she's right here.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Put her in the snow. It's going to be a scene.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
So last night at like twelve, no, like three am,
I got a I got the poke because I fed
him at twelve fifty. So then Haley was on with
Haley doing the next feeding and the next diaper change.
So I got a poke at at three am saying, hey,
he won't stop. So I got him up and changed
him again, and then you know, just kind of sat
there with him for like a solid hour while he
(12:47):
was crying. It's really annoying when he cries. But what
can you do.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
You know, you're really annoying when he cries. He's a baby, honestly,
it's it's a little much by a little bit of
a big baby like babies.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Our baby. He's definitely my son because he complains and
cries a lot.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Yeah, that does make sense. He's got the dot in him.
What are you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Definitely? And he drinks a lot of milk. So my
my son's gut. He's he's gonna have he's gonna be
a big boy.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Is he gonna have a gut?
Speaker 2 (13:16):
I think so, he's gonna have a milk gut.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
So over all though things are things are getting better,
things are are down a little bit.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Yeah, It's like when we first got home, I with
my anxiety was like through the roof. I was worried
about the animal. That was Yeah, and I'm kind of
I'm starting to colm down a little bit. Hate is
starting to count down a little bit. You know. The
meal train has been incredible.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
It's so over the top. His meal trade. Give me
a break. How much you had?
Speaker 2 (13:53):
I've had a lot of and Emily's Emily made some
great Greek food.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Yeah, the Greek chicken bowls. You give it a thumbs up.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
I gave it a thumbs up. She also, yeah, I
gave it a thumb Hey, this.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Is great registering this in my brain right now.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Smart. I told Haley I think she bought it from
Luna Grove or whatever.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
I thought about it to be honest.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Wow, So but no, everything else is good. I can't
wait to come back when I'm when I as soon
as we're done getting selled in.
Speaker 1 (14:29):

big old baby there. So maybe Sky and.
Speaker 2 (14:36):

but yeah, is uh? Is Sky ever going to see
this kid?
Speaker 2 (14:46):

she can't come visit us.
Speaker 1 (14:53):

Speaker 3 (14:53):
Well, I think we discovered yesterday that it was more
of a food poisoning situation, totally related.
Speaker 1 (15:01):

never said a cold. I don't know who said cold.
