Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to another episode of Tell You What You're At
thirty four weeks.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Thirty four weeks technically as of tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (00:06):
But yeah, and what's the uh, what's the line? Like,
where's the like the safe line is there? Like? I
mean ideally, I know you want to go the full
one hundred and eighty weeks.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Right, I think around like twenty four or twenty five
weeks they consider it a.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Good let's go, ye, spot that thing out this morning.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
I'd rather not.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
It's a week later than when Lina was born. She
was thirty three and a half.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
I remember you telling me that.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Yeah, that's just crazy to me because to me, it's
like Lena was such a beautiful, fully developed little human being,
and so I just can't can't even have my head
around the fact that that's currently inside.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Yeah, so it is mind boggling to me.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
Maybe there's two in there.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
I don't think so. I think that at this point
they probably the one. Yeah, they probably would have picked
up a see would it be.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Kind of cool? Though? That would be you're still these days,
even after all the ultrasounds and stuff. I mean, that's
is just people trying to make the internet. It'd be amazing.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
It would be amazing. I'd be happy. I think that'd
be what I mean, what a blessing. But it's it
would be quite a surprise. I do stress out. I
think Hawthorne's whole side of the family actually my side
of the family too, because I we don't know the gender,
so I often say they or them, and so people
are like, are you having twins? I have to explain, like, no,

(01:21):
we just don't know boy or girl. Sometimes I feel
bad saying it, and then when I do accidentally say
him or she or whatever, people are like, oh, so
it's the boy. They're like, oh the girl, Like, I
don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
I just so let me ask you this, if you
were to have twins, just say, let's get back to
that for a second. Do you get you get double
the time off?

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Then no, it actually specifies that, and why wouldn't you Well,
because it's considered one I can't.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Remember that process. It's one pregnancy.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
It's one event. They have some word for it. I
can't remember what it is, but it's like one something event.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
Again one uh one show. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
I do feel like if you multiples at least an
extra week, I.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Would think they would there should be something in the
bylaws about that.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
It doesn't have to be double.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
But well, think about it. I mean, you've got one,
you know, you get one done, maybe one isn't crying,
then the other one picks up. And I'm not saying
that they do that, but they do a lot of times. Twins,
you know, they're right in line with each other. Sure
not always, though, what's the likeliness of having both of
them completely entertained, whether they're sleeping or reading or everything
at the same time. When you gets sick the other
doesn't that kind of stuff, you know? I mean, you

(02:31):
would think that you get a little more, there'd be
a little more alleviation.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
I think that parents of multiples are superheroes because it's
a lot at least if you have one. I mean,
it's between you and your partner, if you're so blessed
hopefully be doing this.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
Yeah, yeah, and even playing field, or if you have triplets,
you're like, okay, we're oh my gosh.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
Yah.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
If you have triplets, it's just automatically outnumbered.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Bo you're in zone coverage, right.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yeah. I don't know if I was having triplets, I
don't know what we would do. I mean, we would
just do it, You would just figure it out, of course.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
But well, imagine Octomom. Yeah, I mean, let's get back
to that. I was that fifty sixteen years ago. Seventeen
years ago. Those kids are now. Those kids have to
be close to eighteen years old.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
So she gave birth to them in two thousand and nine,
so you were about right on.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Actually, why would I know that?

Speaker 2 (03:28):
But I don't know, why would you know that?

Speaker 3 (03:29):
You love the TV show?

Speaker 1 (03:31):
No, I didn't watch it at all, No, but I
was I was very might be something different. I was
if there was a TV I was very curious by
the whole thing. Yeah, you know, I mean there was
so much surrounding it, and then so many people, you know,
going after for this, that and the other thing. And
if I'd be like, can everybody, I don't really remember
all the backstory and everything, you'd be like, I just
had eight children, Can you just leave me alone?

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Right right?

Speaker 1 (03:54):
You know what I mean? I got enough on my
plate right now. I don't need interviews.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Yeah, crazy, she had, did you? Okay, maybe you guys
already knew this. I just it's been a long time
as I've looked up Octomom. But she already had six
kids before she had her octoplets, so she had fourteen kids.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
Her name Kate.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Uh no, that was a different show.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yeah, it's a different show. It was Kate plus eight,
Kate plus eight, okay, differs.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Eventually they kicked onto the curb and it was just
Kate plus eight. Yeah, yes, but uh, Kate plus eight
and a big check, Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
Maybe not true.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
Octomom's name was Natalie. That's crazy. She was implanted with
twelve embryos through IVF.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
Why the eight of them stuck?

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah? Why what about twelve?

Speaker 1 (04:40):
What do you can do with the nothing? Maybe eight?
I mean yeah, eight? Maybe have a football team? Yeah yeah,
because he got a backup. Yeah, then he got a kicker, exactly. Yeah,
you got a leven plus a kicker. He got an
offense defense. You'd have to kind of play both both
sides of the field there.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
But yeah, how did she do this? That's crazy. I
don't even because I think she was a single mom.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
She was. I screw up, I screw up the name.
I have two. Even this weekend they were home. I
even called one of them Aaron, Aaron. I did that twice,
two times. What they do? Oh? They do my kids.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Know?

Speaker 1 (05:20):
They just they used to. Now they're just like whatever.
I remember, it was funny. Lenda especially thought it'd be
fun to call me Chris for a while when he
was about two. I get home and he's like, Hi, Chris, listen,
I'm Da Da, And we're gonna stick with that for
a while because I'm having fun in this stage right now.

(05:41):
I'm not going to turn you into a twenty year
old right now, and I'll always be dad, all right,
but right now I'm Dada. All I went from Dada.
I get home from work and Steph was like, oh,
hi Chris, blah blah blah blah blah. And then Lenda
is like eating something at the table, Hi Chris, that's adorable.
It was it the same time. I mean we laughed.

(06:01):
But and then of course you laugh around your kids,
as you know, and then they're like, okay, I found something, yeah,
and they just abuse it. Yeah, then the other one
starts doing it, you know, that kind of thing. But yeah, well,
well let's just start with one. We got one little
child brewing in there. We don't know who exactly yet,
ye you know, little boy, little girl or something in there.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Bruin'd be a little surprised.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
Yeah, yep.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
I remember the first day that I went from or
the first time that I said called my dad dad
instead of Data, because I grew up calling him data.
I remember calling him dad and he's like, would you
call me? Yeah? I was like, I called you Dad.
He was like, that's just that's that's your name, and
he was like, you've never called me.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yeah, I remember I did the same thing. It seems
like yesterday. I was saying to him like, datta. I
still sometimes when I text him at night, I'm like,
love Data. I mean, Colly, I know, I just need
to But that was the zone, man. Yeah, it was
such a zone. It was just a great time. Yeah.
I love the zone that you guys are in right now.
But man, and I don't want to you know this,

(07:02):
this is obnoxious. I hate it hearing it is when
I was doing it too at this stage. But it
just flies. Yeah. When you have kids, all of a sudden,
it's like boom, It's like you're it's just like time
goes on steroids. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
That's the best way I put it is is that
your life just hits fast forward while theirs is going
pretty much.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
Yeah, because you're sitting there going, man, I can't wait
to turn twenty one and drink, and it takes forever. Yeah,
you know that's what I was like, you know, I
mean when I was a kid.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
And all of a sudden, everything just starts flying.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
It's like, just get to twenty one, man, I can't
get there fast enough. And then you get there, it's
like crap. I've been drinking for a few years and
was fun. It's more fun getting in to the bars,
but I couldn't, you know.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
I think it's tough. It's like as soon as you
get out of high school, and especially I don't know
that out of that high school college age especially, it
just seems like everything goes faster, and every life event
it's like, goes faster and faster and faster. And I
don't know if it's because we get into such a
routine every day, everything just seems to go so fast.
And then, like I've heard, like I've heard, and I

(08:03):
believe it, with kids, it just goes even faster.
