So today, I don't know listeners if you don't know, I'm pregnant, Amanda's pregnant, Josh not pregnant, Meggie not pregnant. I have sympathy cravings right now though for both of you. Yeah. So you're welcome my Eminem path it I thought you said Eminem

That's where my brain is at I was like Eminem I was like what are you talking about? I'm like Eminem What are you talking about? So today you Josh are gonna be actually all of us are gonna be trying Amanda's pregnancy cravings, as well as mine, and because you're in charge here, you're gonna determine. I think I should take a step back for this one.

I don't know that I need to insert myself in here. I want you to be a part of this. Okay, that means a lot. I want you to decide who has the better pregnancy cravings. And then whoever has the better pregnancy cravings, hear me out, I get to be named the Godfather, yay! Honestly, that was already my plan. That's fine, sure.

I accept, Amanda. I just tell my husband, I'm like, so there's this guy. He's a chef? Everything I've heard about your husband, I think we would be friends. You guys would be happy. I just wanna play Call of Duty and grunt in Russian at each other, I think I can do that.

So what do the two of you know about pregnancy cravings? Like what have you guys heard? Like, oh, cause I've, like you were saying before the podcast, if you're craving something like salty, that means your body needs it. Do you guys agree with that mentality? I do. I will say like earlier on in my pregnancy, I was craving dairy like a maniac, like Greek yogurt.

I still eat Greek yogurt every day but like milk Greek yogurt cheese I would dream about it yeah yeah yeah and I brought up to my friend she's like yeah you need more calcium oh you're growing baby's bones right now I think it was that like 12 weeks or something wow really so now I take like a thousand milligrams of calcium every night excellent and didn't realize that until my body was like that's what you need that's incredible that's what you need. That's incredible. That's what I believe.

That's funny. I always assume pregnancy cravings were weird and gross, right? That's the stereotype. Peanut butter and pickles, right? Peanut butter and pickles. That became a real thing. This just looks like a bunch of delicious food I want to eat.

Yeah. What does it mean if my body constantly craves carne asada burritos? What do you think I'm lacking? I don't. I was going to say empathy, but you said you're an empath, so I don't know if that's true. Empathy? I don't know. We all have that college kid in us. I think it sounds delicious.

But if you are craving like dirt, that's a real thing that you are missing and I don't know what it is. I don't know what it is either, but I've heard people, like they eat, like they eat things that are not made for human consumption. Yeah, yeah. Well, I remember Shailene Woodley talking about, she was in Zimbabwe and a Zimbabwean cab driver told her that it was healthy to eat clay,

so she started eating clay. Oh. But I think it more plays to what you were talking about, if people being iron deficient and they're being iron in clay. Oh, iron. That's the thing. So did she eat clay? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I think she started selling clay via goop or something as well. Oh nice. So cute. Well we had Simone Yetch on last meals and she had edible clay as part of her last meal and then she's like, oh I've been vegan for the last five years and it's like,

I think it's an iron deficiency. Maybe, oh that's so interesting. I hope she's been tested since. Did she eat clay? Yeah, I ate it with her, it was not terrible. It was fine. You ever have a Did she eat clay? Yeah, I ate it with her. It was not terrible. It was kind of like... It was fine. You ever have a Necco wafer?

Yeah, yeah. I'm not 90 years old, so no. Necco wafers are closer to clay than they are to most food. They're powdery, they're like powdery dust. But very hard. It's kind of like how I feel about meringue, and I know a lot of people don't agree with me,

but like, I don't like hardened meringue. It feels like dust to me. I kind of love hardened meringue. I love hardened meringue. Now I'm terrible. Have either like I don't like hardened meringue. It feels like dust to me. I kind of love hardened meringue. Have either of you gone down like some of the weird, more alt paths of like pregnancy nutrition? You know, like do you have any weird gurus that you follow that aren't backed by science? Like odd doulas on the internet?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I definitely follow some odd doulas on the internet. Like you're like drinking lavender tinctures and stuff like that, or I don't know. No, I'm not drinking lavender. I am drinking like chrysanthemum tea with honey, but I don't think. I was told though that you shouldn't have chamomile and um. Herbal teas? Yeah herbal teas because they make you like crampy. Yeah no herbal teas. But I will say my Instagram will not let me rest. I just want to see funny things. And it is only doulas. It is only births. It's only like, I tore. I'm like, it's only all these things where I'm like,

I tore. Here's my story. Yeah. Here's my story. And it's like, hey, when you're there, make sure you advocate for yourself. And I'm like, okay, I get that. But like, can I just watch someone like, you know, falling into the water? Yeah, I agree. By accident? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I guess there's doulas that I follow that give me... Most of them are pretty sweet. I don't know.

I don't know. I'll be on birthstagram. I'm using my doctor's solely and he's a nice guy, so. Yeah, I'm using my doc and like some friends that will go, I mean, do you really want to hear this? And I go, yeah, I do I mean do you really want to hear this? Yeah, I do I do I do what have you two compared notes on like your diets I know there's so many things I'm gonna talk to like the ignorant like cis male perspective here Someone needs to but no I just hear of all the things that pregnant people aren't supposed to eat

And it seems like the list gets longer and longer as time goes on What are the things that you've like decided to completely avoid and what like the list gets longer and longer as time goes on. What are the things that you've like decided to completely avoid and what are the things that you're like, ah I can have some bologna? I'll tell you what I've started. So I have completely mixed high mercury fish from my diet. So no tuna, no shark, no swordfish. Like no tuna salad sandwiches. Like when I go get sushi, like I'm not going to get like a spicy tuna crispy rice. No tuna salad sandwiches, like when I go get sushi, like I'm not gonna get like a spicy tuna crispy rice. I don't have any deli meats whatsoever. Nothing from the deli period.

Like will I get a deli salad? Like yeah, like a chicken salad from the deli, I'll do that, but like I won't get like something sliced off of like the machine, is a no go. Once you hear about Listeria, you're like no. Yeah, no. What else? My steaks, I still do a medium, sometimes medium rare.

I'm with you 100%. I do that too. I'm like a medium, medium rare. Right. It's okay. Right. I do no herbal teas. I just said that.

What else do I do? I try to stay away from raw seafood. Yeah, same. But cooked seafood, love it. Had some a few days ago whenever we we read VidCon and it was delicious. It's wild because seafood's like my favorite food. And there are two things that's my favorite food. And I just couldn't do it during this pregnancy,

is literally fish and fried chicken. I like couldn't touch it. What's wrong with fried chicken? It's my favorite food, but I couldn't touch it during my whole pregnancy. Why not? Oh my goodness. I don't know, it made me sicky. That's okay.

Oh, it wasn't somebody told you no fried chicken, it was your own. No one told me that, but someone did tell me that I didn't realize. They were like, oh, stay away from tiramisu, creme brulee, and Caesar dressing. Eggs. Because there's uncooked eggs. And I'm like, right, okay. Tiramisu? Yeah, tiramisu has uncooked eggs sometimes.

What the hell are the uncooked eggs in tiramisu? The mascarpone filling. Yeah. What? What? hell are the uncooked eggs in tiramisu? The mascarpone filling. Yeah. What? What? That's not uncooked eggs in mascarpone filling? Yeah, yeah. The egg yolks are mixed with the sugar and then they put the mascarpone.

Isn't it heated? Sometimes. Because it's albaleone? Sometimes it's not. Here's the thing, that was something that I was kind of like, I could and I just ended up avoiding it. Fair, fair, fair. I eat runny eggs sometimes.

I think it looks, that's... So do I. They're good. So it's fine. A lot of the foods you shouldn't eat when you're pregnant are also just foods that you shouldn't eat when you're not pregnant, if you really want to avoid foodborne illness.

That's true. Like, that's the general... I will say deli meat. I was a little bit like, huh. I love a turkey sandwich. Yum. But I'm also just like, huh, listeria. But there are a ton, like I used to write a lot about food safety, and there are so many listeria outbreaks in deli meats because they're just sealed in package. Correct. And they're wet as hell.

But I've always been shocked that bagged salad has not been on the list. Did anybody tell you not to eat bagged salad? No one told me that but I I'm very fearful of bagged salad and lettuce in general Yeah, yeah, because I've never been sicker until like I had bad spinach one time. Yep. I wash someone died from spinach in my hometown No, at the at the soup plantation E. coli in the spinach. Yeah And when things aren't cooked like that's where even when you're talking about like a medium steak, right? A medium steak is 140, 145. Nice.

Thank you. But temperature of like, insta-kill temperature, pasteurization temperature, is generally what, like 140 but held over time. So if you have that like medium steak, the are very very low right even compared to a rare steak That's 120 where the equal I can still survive stuff like that So for me a lot of that stuff makes sense, but I've always been fascinated by like the raw produce thing You know or if like it's a thing. Yeah, just gotta wash it really well. I don't use bags I've never been a bag salad person either It doesn't actually do that much

The only way to kill bacteria is again. I told you I have a lot of opinions about what pregnant people should eat! How do you kill bacteria on lettuce? Cook it. I'm not cooking lettuce. No, I mean, like washing it does do something, but as far as like actually being safe, it seems like unwashed lettuce. What kind of lettuce should we have? Too late for me, isn't it? But, um...

The damage has been done. The damage is done. This baby's cooked. Like, literally my OB was like, so your baby's just kind of getting fat at this point. And I was like, oh, so I can eat whatever I want, right? Kind of, sort of. I have another question about pregnancy. So you know how grass-fed cows, right?

They generally will be like grass-fed, green-finished. Because like you feed it on grass to develop all the muscles or whatever. But then you want a little bit to develop all the muscles or whatever, but then you want a little bit of fat on the cow, and it gets to slaughter. Are you asking? And you feed it on grains. Is that the same with pregnancy where it's like, alright,

you eat healthy. Are we the grain-finished cows? Definitely, that's exactly what I'm asking. You like eat healthy to nourish the baby, but then in like the last two weeks it's like, alright. You were doing well, Josh. Let's beef it up, you know? No, I, yes, I actually I I think that I don't know my OB just kind

of she's not super intense about what I'm eating mine either she like does not ask me what I'm eating yeah my doctor she just straight up asked me about working out yeah like like how active are you? Okay? Not like are you working out? It's like hey, what's your bench at? Max not one rep. She's like how active are you? That's good just to like figure out the position of the baby right sure sure because right now like you for you It doesn't matter what position is yet. No me it does. Yeah. Are you sitting backwards on a couch yet? We're gonna get you backwards on a couch. No,, are you sitting backwards on a couch yet? We gotta get you backwards on a couch.

No, I haven't sit backwards on a couch yet. We're gonna have you sit backwards on a couch. I should. I love this. I love how you were talking about how Shane will be like, are you comfortable with me asking how you are? And I'm just like, so grass-fed cows, right? I like it. Right before they slaughter.

We're all animals, we're all made of meat. So what would we be? Well, no, no, no, I'm asking like, you're talking about like loading the baby for birth, right, like positioning it, because you want it to come out head first, not feet first. Yeah, yeah. Feet first is like a big bad. Head first, head facing spine. Head facing spine, I never thought about that. Because the facing gets...

Head facing spine. Yeah, you want head facing spine. That's fine. And so you can do things to manipulate the position of your baby? Yeah. There's like things that like the position of your baby. Yeah There's like whoa like help you the baby flip not everybody but and if you can't do it Then your OB will try to help you Did you ever play those those little games where it's like water and there's like a little ball that drops through the water and you

Have to like adjust it to get it to the platform. Yeah, it's like that but with your body But like with the amniotic fluid instead of water exactly. Yeah, but the ball is like really big Yeah, like really hard like a in like kicking at you fighting back. Yeah, you know, oh, yeah That's why is there a position most babies prefer to be in in the womb Like they're like well like where they're comfortable. Yeah, they change throughout. So like they'll Essentially in your second trimester, they're kind of doing their own swimming. Swimming around. They're swimming around, they're touching their feet, they're kind of doing hiccups, not actual hiccups. They call the going up and down hiccups, and they're kind of just...

They're floating around. But at a certain time, and I don't know what triggers them to do it, they're like, oh, I gotta go down there. I gotta put my head down there. Oh, they know. They know, but it does help if you're in a, if you kind of put your body in specific positions. Sure, sure, sure, sure.

Like you want your butt to be a little higher than your knees often. Does that make sense? Yeah, yeah, because now imagine floating around. You don't wanna be like crouching the babies and be like. That's so fun. Thank you for educating me.

Hey, man. I love the fun. Thank you for educating me. Hey man. I love the questions. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think some people get a little freaked out. I don't know about you, but when I go to check out of the grocery store or whatever, it's usually men who go, oh my God, you're expecting when?

And I never find it an issue. I like it, because I'm pretty pregnant at this point. But there are a lot of people who are like I don't want to ask. I can't believe that person asked you. Right right right. I don't really mind. Um I don't know it. I'm like I don't look that pregnant right now. Mm-hmm. So I'm still in that in-between. I get that. Where people are like they don't know how to approach me. So some people that know me, they're like,

oh my god, you're pregnant, oh my god, so crazy. And some people, they just look. Yes. And it's like, whatever, okay, thanks for looking. Julia's recently put a moratorium on me going up to people and asking if they're a celebrity that I think they are because I'm 0 for 3. Don't do that.

Well, yeah, so I've done that a couple times. But the point is, the point is, the fear of going up to somebody and going oh my god When do you do and then being like I'm not pregnant that would put me off of asking anybody that ever and I've never done That but knowing it's very scary. I get it. It's very scary But when you are on the other side of it when you are really pregnant and like you might need help Yeah, yeah get your shit right right right get your stuff to the car you're kind of like please yes I am and I really thought Gary Sinise was at my gym who's that Gary Sinise? Lieutenant Dan? I don't know who that is.

Yeah! Lieutenant Dan? No he wasn't it was a guy that looked like Gary Sinise I said hey Gary Sinise and he said what I said I'm so sorry you Gary Sinise he said no my name is Daniel and I said oh hey, Gary Sinise. And he said, what? I said, I'm so sorry, are you Gary Sinise? And he said, no, my name's Daniel. And I said, oh, that's all right. And then I was like, well, hey, you have a great workout. That's so awkward. Are you a fan of Gary Sinise? Anyway, so I would be so scared of that. But we need a hand signal for pregnant women to be like, I need help. It's normally like this.

Honestly, I think the signal is this. The rubbing of the stomach. Yeah. The hand and the arm on the belly is one of them. I think probably the arm is the one that's the most important thing. I think it's the arm. I think it's the arm. I think it's the arm.

I think it's the arm. I think it's the arm. I think it's the arm. I think it's the arm. I think it's the arm. I think it's the arm. I think it's the arm. I think it's the arm. I think it's the arm. I think the signal is this. The hand and the arm on the belly is one of them. I think actually don't ask anyone if they're pregnant, unless they're doing the Buddha. People at work are saying that I'm talking to my crystal ball.

I'm just seeing the future. That's me post-Chinese buffet though, Where I'm just sitting there just kind of like... Exactly so anyone could actually... You know what? Don't listen to my advice. At all. What we are gonna do is eat some stuff because I'm hungry. Are you guys hungry? Are you pregnant? No, I went to the Mongolian noodle station twice.

Okay, so I thought it'd be nice if we started with both of our cravings right now, which is true frus. Wait, this is on both your lists? right now, which is true fruase Wait, this is on both your lists. Yeah. Hell. Yeah, this is my non-pregnant list So I asked so I asked them and I said like give me your list and then I saw that we had the same thing And I'm like, oh my god, this is incredible true fruase. They're literally they're literally chocolate covered fruits. Could we make this at home? Yeah, do I want to absolutely never I don't ever want to do that. No, because there's peanut butter in this. This is so good. And the banana ones are actually my favorite.

These are your favorite? I started with the raspberries and felt really good about it, but then I moved to the bananas. I've only had the banana, raspberries are great. The raspberries are my favorite, but this is a close second. Mmm. Truffu is incredible. What a lovely treat. What is it about truefruit that really speaks to you and your baby?

Well, I don't know. My sister sent it to me, and I was like, what is this? It feels like you're kind of, you can indulge. So you can have ten and be like, fruit, fine. Right? It feels like you can indulge. And I don't feel like crap after. Like, eating a lot of ice cream for me is fun in the moment and then I kind of die a little bit.

Exactly. This is like my alternative to ice cream as well. It makes me feel like I'm making a better decision for me and my baby still. That feeling of guilt is interesting because I think so many people have, they already have food guilt. Right? You eat a bunch of ice cream feel bad But like how's that change for you like being pregnant? Mm-hmm man for me Very much so especially like being a woman in the entertainment industry There you're so scrutinized about your weight all the time all the time and also this whole idea of like bouncing back

I think for me. I really enjoyed especially my second trimester when my appetite, because the first was really rough. Second trimester when I had a full appetite, I was like, food is so good. It nourishes your body. It's so delicious. You can have such a good time with it. And it was like, you can go two different ways,

but I felt like I was like, I enjoy food. It's keeping me alive. It's keeping this baby alive. And seeing it that way, it was like, I'm going to let myself eat food. Like eat food. And your body is very intuitive. Like if you're craving something, you need it. You need true fruit. The one thing I've constantly told myself is I'm gonna honor my cravings because it's not just me. There's another thing going on in there. So I think it's vital to, it's not indulging, it's honoring your body and listening to what it's saying

and saying, okay, this is what you want right now, listen to it. Agreed. I'm inspired to honor my body after this. Yeah, you should. No, I mean, honestly, I try to eat healthy, whatever, but I know I do have that instinct of self-shame, you know? But I also know that transferring that instinct to somebody else is also terrible.

I don't know, you know if you read to your baby in the womb, or you play classical music, they turn out more smarter? I play Akon for her. I think I heard someone say that on a commercial. My husband plays techno. Oh really? My husband plays techno, yeah. She's a big fan of Akon. She like smacked that.

Smacked that? So good. What is there like, does your baby turn out more differently if you eat more different foods? I mean, I don't know. Don't? I couldn't tell you. I don't know, but I will say like, nourish your body.

And it has made me go, even when I have the baby, I'm gonna be like, there's no point sitting there just like thinking and feeling guilty about the thing you just ate. It's done. It's done. You did it. Like, I don't know, I'm at this point where it's like,

stay active, eat what you need to eat, and you're nourishing your body. Have some vegetables. Like, have some vegetables, have some fruit, but also, you know, live your life a little bit. You don't have to go ham. You don't have to go ham. You can't even eat ham if you wanted to.

Like, actually don't eat the ham. Don't eat ham. So let's start with some of yours. Do you want to explain what we have here? Do you want me to explain what we have here? I love for, yeah. Okay, so the first thing that I saw was banana bread with slabs of butter.

Yeah. Now, I understand this thoroughly because butter is a very important food that I am eating as well. I love butter. I have been consuming so much butter in so many different forms. Yep, because it feels so,

also my husband loves butter so much And I used to be like that's way too much brother, honey, and now I'm like butter Banana bread also bread just bread in general. Uh-huh. Yeah, I'm a big PB&J girl right now. Oh PB&J What I do is I make a PB&J with sea salt. And it's so sexy. Oh my god. Toast. I was having toast with jelly and a little bit of peanut butter. Today? With my decaf iced coffee and it was delicious.

I am having caffeine. I am having caffeine. But like, a little bit. I have a coffee a day. I have an espresso a day and I'm happy with it. And I could have four, but I choose to only have one. Isn't that so delicious? I wanna be pregurt too. Oh, you made a sandwich. Yeah, I'd like- We't that so delicious. I want to be pregnant too. Oh you made a sandwich Yeah, it's like we all eat it differently. I love this Josh made a sandwich Amanda slathered the butter and I just I just bit

right into the slab That was like a cake. Well, you should know that when your partner is pregnant you the other partner eats pretty much what? Have either of your partners gone sober? No. No. Sorry, didn't mean to bring that up. No, not at all. He went sober while we were trying to get pregnant.

So like no alcohol, no cigarettes. He was eating really healthy, working out a lot. And then once he found me, he's like, Alright, time to party! That's the same thing. Now he's like, frozen pizza? Yeah. I forgot to mention frozen pizza. Or maybe I had it.

Frozen pizza? I don't know what or why. Oh my gosh, it's okay. I love frozen pizza. But frozen over delivery. Delivery's just gonna break the bank in LA. Let's be real. A 10 inch is like $24. I know.

Honestly, Whole Foods frozen pizza is so good. And I know that's wild. Underrated, underrated. It is so good. Underrated. You enjoy. Why is this so good? This pregnancy has been sponsored by DiGiorno,

our new rising croissant crust pizza. All right. You enjoy that and I'm going to explain the next one. So, ube ice cream was on your list. Ube is a purple yam found in the Philippines. I got you two kinds. You're amazing. I wanted you to try the boba one and then we also have the ube with macapuno, which is young coconut, right, Josh? Oh, sorry, it's pretty melted. Sorry about that. Oh, wow. Watch out for that computer.

But yum. I'm gonna eat the coconut one because why not? Oh, my God, it's still melted. I'm so sorry. Oh, my God. Don't be sorry. Oh, my God. I like it. It gets in your bloodstream faster when it's melted. Mm-hmm.

Oh. What is it about it gets in your bloodstream faster when it's melted. Mm-hmm. Oh. What is it about ube you love so much? It's not super sweet. Oh, fair. I don't like super sweet. Okay, good. And also like, I don't know, it's also like, what is, I like different flavors for ice cream.

Okay. I love lavender, earl grey like, rose, saffron. Beautiful. Um... Have you been to Masjid-e-Malone before? Of course. It's my favorite ice cream place. Nice. Persian ice cream all day. I was just gonna mention that Masjid-e-Malone is my favorite ice cream place.

Persian ice cream. What did I have there though? Oh, cucumber. Yeah. Yes. Because it's not like a sorbet. Oh my god. It's so good. It's not like a sorbet. Oh my god. It's not like light and fresh. No, it's like heavy cream cucumber. It's creamy. It's awesome. It's delicious. You and I have the exact, I've never met anybody with the exact same taste of ice cream as me.

Me too, because I rarely know anyone either. That's awesome. I once ruined an entire office pizza party, or not pizza party, ice cream party. I once ruined an entire office ice cream party. You did. Because the only flavors I got were uh rose and lavender From fairness I got it. I love that. It was saffron rose. I'm saffron rose But it was because I was trying to break the world record for most ice cream scoops in a single cone And so I need a lot of ice cream and I was like everyone's gonna love the lavender and rose that I picked out and everyone

Was like this is perfume. Yeah people so I brought my mom and sister to Mastery Malone's and they were like, it's just too flowery. And I'm like, I love it. That's the point. It's supposed to be flowery. It's so good. So that's, so like, ube, ube is one of my faves. Really, really good.

It's delicious. But yeah, that's the kind of ice cream that I want. Also, it's very refreshing. But no, not a lot of people enjoy it. That's fun. It's fun to see a part of yourself in another person. It's fun. Look at this. Aw, I'm glad you guys are pregnant. You're pregnant!

Oh my god. Oh my god, Josh. It's just the carne asada burrito that's sitting there. And then finally we have straight up broth. Yep. I love this one. Chicken broth, we gotta do it. I'm so sorry that you guys have this.

I'm sorry if it's not that warm. That's okay. But I love this because I love sippin We gotta do it. I'm so sorry that you guys have this. I'm sorry if it's not that warm. That's okay. But I love this because I love sipping on broth too. I love, what I love to do is, I love to walk around with like a secret in my cup. Everyone thinks it's coffee. It's not coffee. It's broth.

It's broth. Wait, so you've been doing broth too? I've been doing this before. Like I used to, I've been doing this for years. Walking around with a cup of broth is like my little secret. For most people, that's like a little bit of scotch in their cup. No, you're just making broth. We love the chicken broth.

Well, my husband loves to cook whole chickens, and then he'll make broth and then freeze it. Well, bless him. I just would heat it up and drink it. Also, I don't know if you felt like sick in your first trimester. I didn't have a single bout of morning sickness. I never threw up. I never was nauseous. I don't know what was going on but I'm actually nauseous like around now which sucks. Oh that's okay. Yeah that's okay that kind of makes sense. I

think it's probably the start of your heartburn or something. Yeah yeah yeah. Oh my god if I could have tums as one of my items here, it would be tums. Oh, Pepsi Day C is my baby. That is morning and night, honey. Oh my gosh, the amount of tums I consume should be illegal. That's why you're probably not having much of, not an appetite, but like probably why you're feeling a little nauseous. Yeah, in the mornings.

But like my first trimester, Tough. I could only have fruit, in the mornings. But like my first, my first trimester, I could only have fruit and maybe some broth. No way. Saltines only to get out of bed. Couldn't get out of bed. I know I'm a rare case and I know a lot of people do have more. I think I think 80% of women experience morning sickness in some degree. It's like all day sickness. But it's not, you're not thrown, I mean, there's a lot of people who throw up, but I was not. I just felt car sick 24 seven. Oh, that's almost worse. Because I think when you vomit, it like relieves you, you know?

You never get that full sense of relief. I know, and when I found out I was pregnant, I was in a potato costume for like a week at Smosh. No way! Yes, I was. And I was like, I wanna be dead. But I had a big slab of butter right here on the potato costume. That's incredible. Shooting for Spud Hut, so I would just rub the butter.

And I was just like... I love you, butter. And people would make jokes, they're like, oh my god, you look pregnant. And I was like, no I don't. No I don't. That's so rude. Shut up. Shut up.

Okay, all three of yours were delicious, I must say. That banana bread with the slab of butter really sent me. I like the ube ice cream, because that is also one of my favorite flavors, but I don't know, it feels like you're going to give birth to a little foodie baby. Oh yeah. You know? Little Anthony Bourdain in there. Oh, ube baby.

Minus the addiction issues. You ready for a hard pivot, guys? We did a lot of heroin. Yeah, go ahead. Ready for a hard pivot? Okay, so the first thing I want you guys to try, I don't know why my body craves Vegemite. Hell yeah. Whoa, this is a hard pivot.

So this morning alone, I had two Vegemite toasts. This is gonna have to be my third one. It's toast with butter. I'll tell you right now, it's toast with butter and Vegemite. I want you guys to have, I cut into little fours. So cute. Thank you so now. It's toast with butter and Vegemite I want you guys to have I cut into little fours So cute. Thank you so much. I'm gonna go about the cook on this toast. It's a little hard. Yeah, I like it I've hoard I like it. I like a hoard. It's a hoard too. I like a hoard toast Um, Vegemite is a yeast extract and it's like the most it's imagine soy sauce that has been cooked down for like 40 hours.

And then they throw in a little bit of salt and then a little bit more salt and then like a few like, what is it called, nutritional yeast flakes in it. Okay. I don't know why I'm obsessed with this. I love Vegemite. You love Vegemite? Oh my god. Okay.

It just tastes like salted butter. Right? Right. There's almost this cheesiness that kind of washes over you. Cheese washing over me. Mm. Yum yum yum. Mm.

Oh. It means a lot to me that you guys are eating this. This is like scratching like a psycho-biological itch that you have. Oh my god. You don't even know like how would, like if I could eat it with a spoon, I can't do that because I'll get sick,

but if I could just eat it with a spoon like Nutella, I would. Oh, oh Nutella, don't even get me started on Nutella. And apparently this is very, Vegemite is very high in folic acid, which I didn't know. I had no idea. That's good or bad?

Very good for prenatal. Oh great, very good for pre, yeah, you take it in your prenatal. Yeah, yeah, so I had no idea. I'm like, oh my god, there'snatal. Very good for prenatal. Yeah, you take it in your prenatal. Yeah, yeah. So I had no idea. I'm like, oh my god, there's so much folic acid in this. Hell yeah. So I've just been mainlining folic acid.

Do you like it? It's like a deep salt. It's a deep savory salty flavor with the butter and like toast. Imagine it like a little bit warmer. Oh my god. I actually do really like it. It kind of, yeah, it's like, it does taste like soy sauce, but like, I don't know, it feels like it's deep. Yeah, deep is the right way to explain it. It's deep flavor.

Mmm. I like the toast too. Honestly, that's how I toast my toast. Very good. No, that was not me complaining about the toast, but I was literally wondering if your body was like craving slightly burnt foods. No. You know? I just like a whore toast. I just like whore toast. Everything now, I'm like, it's a clue.

So now? Yeah, you're on a mission to investigate. What now I'm like, it's a clue. So now? Yeah, you're on a mission to investigate. What is in cornflakes that the baby needs? I can't wait to read your book. Pregnancy. Pregnancy by Josh. Pregnancy by Josh. So this next thing is chocolate with cornflakes in it.

I love a Ritter Sport. Yeah, I've actually never had the Ritter Sport one. I've been like really enjoying the Trader Joe's one. Oh My god, there's something about it, baby. The crunchy and the milkiness They marry together and they make the most delicious chocolate. I don't eat chocolate like this that is deep I will say I eat that before Mm-hmm pregnancy. Mm-hmm. I Love chocolate. I love chocolate.

I love having chocolate bars in the house. That's like my favorite thing. Because after dinner, you just want a little something. I like dark chocolate, but I never reach for milk chocolate, but milk chocolate and cornflakes? Yum. Heaven sent. Also cornflake ice cream.

Yeah, I agree with you. I need a break. Wow, that's great. It's the savoriness in the ice cream. You like savoriness in ice cream. It's like ube Yeah, that's just like a plant and the lavender floralness too. Yeah funny. That's delish Whoa, and then the piece too. Oh, no, there's Taco Bell I'm not a doctor but I feel like Taco Bell can't be ostensibly like nothing at Taco Bell can be ostensibly good for a baby. Debate. Well, I've been eating this.

Yeah, but a lot of pregnant people crave fast food. Oh my God. Is a lot of it just craving calorie density? Because like the amount of butter on the banana bread. It might be. That's fine. Well, also like, I don't know about you, but during my first trimester I was so lazy,

I'm like, I'm not cooking, what the F? I'm not putting my body through, standing up and shaking a pan. So I barely cooked at home. Taco Bell was my savior, like when I was driving home from work, cause I have like a long commute home. I live in West L.A., so from Burbank to S.L.A.

it's like kind of annoying. I would stop at any Taco Bell, if I would see you when I just like I'll save my life. So in here I have the following which is my order every single time It's a cheesy gordita crunch and then a cheesy double beef burrito. No rice add potatoes and then about 12 fire sauces Wow, will be burrito. No rice up potatoes that that is a classic If I eat that right now, I'm gonna vomit. That's where you're at right now. I'll take one for the team.

Yeah, take one for the team. Josh, try the burrito. Let me tell you right now. It is so good. Amanda, you want a burrito? Yeah, I gotta try a little bit. I will say, I've had Taco Bell twice in my life. I'm not kidding.

Not because I spit on fast food, but just Taco Bell specifically. I grew up with Burger King and Wendy's. So I feel like... Oh, you got one. I gotta rip it in half. Yeah, rip this in half. Don't forget the fire sauces, guys. Don't forget the fire sauces.

One, two, go. Wow. Josh, give her fire sauce. What? I'm going. I want a how-to book on eating food while you're pregnant written by Josh. I think that'd be so fun. You gotta rip this really fast.

One, two, three, go. I'm donating all my proceeds to. You gotta rip this really fast. One, two, three, go. I'm donating all my proceeds to pregnant women international. Oh, great. Okay, what's in this, puppy? So it's cheese, sour cream, fiesta strips, and double beef. And then instead of the rice, I put potatoes in it. You guys, it is so good.

Absolutely. It is so good. Watching you guys eat it means a lot to me. Like, I don't think you guys understand. Watching you two eat my pregnancy cravings has unlocked a part of my heart that I didn't think was possible. Doesn't it feel good?

Like, when you guys ate that much butter, I was really, really grateful. It made me feel so seen. Yeah, I feel seen. Very, very sweet. Okay, this is actually really good. It made me feel so seen. Yeah, I feel seen. Very, very sweet. Okay, this is actually really good. Enjoy, my love, enjoy. I feel like I can now empathize with both of your babies.

I feel in some way, I am your baby. Our baby? Yeah. That's good. That's also the second part of your book. It's so creepy. Be the baby, why is that creepy? What's this hidden chapter in this book?

I am your baby and it's just a picture of you? Surrounded by food? In a wildly upsetting costume. I'm not going to say what it is, but it is wildly upsetting. He's been in a diaper more than once. I love it. You and the very specific subset of people on TikTok really love it. I need you to tell me, Josh, who had the best pregnancy cravings.

And if you can be honest, oh, yeah, I I this is such a stupid thing to rank I will say. It means a lot. It means a lot to me. I like the Vegemite on toast to me. That's like that's hyper specific It's ultra delicious I love the corn flakes and the chocolate that's fun But I think as far as storytelling goes, as far as utter insanity of certain butter portions, and I mean that in a good way. I actually really love what you said about

your body craving nutrition, honoring those cravings. Food is fuel for you. And whatever, babies are technically parasites, by definition? Sure, yep. And whatever's growing inside of you. I don't love that, but that's the end of your book. Parasites, question mark?

We're selling fewer and fewer gobbies. I got to give the win to Amanda on this one. So, I did not think that you would give the win to me, because when you asked about my cravings, I will say every time I tell people my cravings, they're like, oh, okay. They're not like, that's not crazy. And I was like, yeah, okay.

What do you expect from people? But it's what I'm craving. I'm like craving the nutrient rich. Wow, so I'm honored. Well deserved. I'm honored with this. I'm honored that you're gonna name your baby after me. Uh-huh.

["Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy"] All right, Nicole and Amanda, we've heard what you and I have to say. Now it's time to find out what other wacky ideas are rattling out there in the universe. Time for a little segment we call Opinions are like casserole. Josh said segment weird. Josh said segment weird. My voice, my voice is cracked. We were just, we were at the VidCon and we were yelling at a lot of people.

We were screaming. Screaming. People were screaming at us. Yeah. People were screaming at us. They were like, what are you doing here? You're too pregnant. And I was like, no.

People were screaming at us because we played Family Feud against a group of YouTubers called Crew. With a K though. Turns out, with a K. Very different. They had about 15 times the amount of fans that we did, and a lot of them tended to be young,

which is great, we love the new generation. But they were actively booing us when we got answers right, and cheering when we got answers wrong. It was incredible. What? It was incredible. It made me feel so good. I felt evil.

I felt evil. Don't you feel good? I went like this at one point, I was like. Isn't that so fun when all the fans boo you? We had a 300 point lead at some point, and Bailey Feud just went, Are these your heroes? Are you not entertained? We ended up losing, it was a really fun time. It was really fun.

I love that, screaming at the kids. Maggie, should we go to that first opinion? Yeah! Let's do it. Hi Josh and Nicole. And Amanda. My opinion is that pickles, gifts, and honey are so good. And apparently it's a pregnancy craving, but I'm not pregnant, and I've never been pregnant.

But yeah, it's very good good I recommend it. Wow okay. Let's say you. I say it sounds like salty and sweet I guess that could work it to me it feels so like liquid on liquid. Yeah I don't know how you would dip it in honey you know what I mean like it's not porous enough to pick it up? Kind of slough off the wet. Right. Hear me out, bread and butter pickles. Ever heard of them? That's what I was gonna say, yeah.

Why don't you just do that? Actually, wait. I would have a sandwich with like, honey hot chicken with pickles. Okay, that sounds good. That sounds delicious. That sounds good. Actually, he's adding a ton of honey to a pickle brine.

Sounds really nice. Yeah. There's the honey mustard pickles, the famous ones that are at the farmers market. Kaelin and Kaelin. Kaelin and Kaelin. Kaelin and Kaelin. I have not had that. Those are great.

Oh, you gotta go to the farmers market and get a pickle flight. They have like, you can choose from five different pickles. I love pickles. And they're very creative. Okay. I would love someone who's more knowledgeable on this to expound on it, but there's gotta be some sort of link between pickles and hormones, right? Because pickles and pregnancy cravings are a huge thing.

I don't know how many trans people you've talked to, but I've talked to a lot who, when they transition, say they crave pickles. No way! What? Maybe it's the vinegar? Again, I think this is supportive and not offensive. I just think it's really cool.

But like, I would love to learn more about the link between pickles and hormone shift, you know? I love Me too. I love that too. So your second book was when is it coming out? Pickles and Hormones, the Josh Sharer story. But I will say, I loved pickles before pregnancy and I love them during. I don't know what it is.

I also hear that pickles also spark your appetite. I don't know if it's the vinegar or... Fermentation, salt, like there's... I mean mean the world over has eaten pickles for a millennium. I ate a pickle a day. Yeah, me too. I ate a bubby's pickle a day. Hell yeah. I think that's my like, is that a probiotic at that point, a prebiotic? Yeah, bubby's is certainly lacto-fermented, yeah. Yeah, pretty much. That's my medicine. Anyone, pregnant people and trans people, chime in to the chat about your love or hatred of pickles. I don't have hard data on this. This is all anecdotal.

I've never heard of the link of trans people and pickles. Maggie, you want to do some googling on that? I would love to hear more about that. It might have been like two trans people and I'm like, that's a trend! But with honey, yeah. I'm in, that's a trend! But with honey, yeah. Yeah. Hey guys, this is Emily. I'm from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Lancaster.

And I'm home because I want to know your opinion that I am excited and expecting my fourth child. And one of the first things that always happens to me when I'm pregnant is my smell gets intensified dramatically. Like to the point where it's overwhelming sometimes. So my thing is that normally, like one of my favorite things is pepperoni pizza, but when I'm pregnant, I can't take the pepperoni.

It's just like too overpowering and I always choose cheese. So I'm wondering if you guys have anything that's one of your favorite foods, but if it was more intense, it would turn into one of the worst things. So thanks, love listening to you guys, see ya. Yeah, 100%. It was impossible for me to go in like our trash room.

I also walked by a neighbor and they just put out fresh manure. I think I was seven weeks and it was a very bad time. It was a very bad moment. And I was just mentioning to you, oregano and thyme. Can't, can't, can't smell it. Can't do it. You feel that? Yeah. The smell of my fridge has been wreaking havoc on me for the past three weeks. No!

It doesn't matter, like, I've cleaned it, my husband's cleaned it, like, it doesn't matter. It's just the fridge, dun dun dun. Something's in there. No, I've purged it. I've purged it. You got a demon in there. I've scrubbed it. No, it might not be something bad. It might be something in there that smells, that's fine. I don't know, but whenever it's weird,

whenever I like am rushing out of the house and I open my fridge, I smell it and I... No! Yeah, it's, I think it's the combination of I have to get out of the house with a jarring smell of the fridge. Cause like whenever I'm at home and like I open my fridge, like it's not a problem, like I can exist.

Like, oh, whenever I'm opening my fridge, whenever I'm like, I have to leave right now. Let me just get a water bottle. Oh my God. I have to sit down for 20 minutes. Is it like when you're rushing, maybe your body's like, I don't know, like pumping up the heat in your body.

Maybe, maybe. Or you're like having stress. Maybe, maybe. Because when I'm stressed stressed and I'm like rushing is when my heartburn is here. And I don't know if it's like stress or something that's like causing. Sure, it might be stress related.

I wanna get in your fridge. Come on in. Cause when I hear another person pregnant who's like, this didn't make me feel well, it just reminds me of my first semester. And I'm like, I wanna help. I wanna get in there. But I don't know.

I just gotta calm down. We don't know what we're doing. I just gotta calm down probably. As an ally to pregnant people everywhere, as I think I've demonstrated today, if you need me to do any smelly work around your house, I am not disgusted by it at all. But you wouldn't be able, so we have superwoman powers.

Sure. Okay, when we're pregnant. You would have to identify it and then send me in there, is what I'm saying. Our smell is like, intense. You're like Daredevil. Yeah, sometimes exactly. We're like blind Daredevil. And we're just basically like, what is that smell?

And anyone will be like, what are you talking about? Yeah, I sometimes have to be like, oh, it's because I'm pregnant. Yeah, other people's smells bother me sometimes. My own smell, I'm like, what is going on? It sucks, Josh, it sucks. I thank you for bearing the burden of the human race. That sounded even creepier than anything else I've said today. I thank you for your service.

Josh has my mid-year review in about 35 minutes, so you better be nice to me. Oh, I already did those. I already laid down the law on that. They're like, well, to improve, don't get pregnant next year. I'm just like, put on deodorant, help. Don't get pregnant next year. I hope not. Looking forward, we would like to see.

Is your OB also talking to you about Irish twins? No, no. Because mine is like, you better be careful. Certainly they don't use that as a medical term, do they? No, no, not really. No, of course not. My doctor's so chill. My doctor's just like, just be careful.

Really? I haven't had the sex talk with my doctor yet. I had the birds and the bees talk. Oh no, I didn't. Wait, what is their advice? Basically, people think when they like, after they give birth, if they're breastfeeding or not breastfeeding or whatever,

if they're producing milk, that they aren't fertile, but they are very fertile. Yes. Very, very fertile, and people can get pregnant right away. So they're like, hey, cool it. They're like, just don't, because it's gonna be hard.

Yeah, there's other ways to enjoy each other physically. Yeah, and people do it. Have you tried heavy petting and a swan boat on Silver Lake? I haven't been on a swan boat in Echo Park Lake in... You can't get pregnant on a swan boat. Five minutes. You sure? Josh does heavy petting in Echo Park.

No, but I have really tight hips and so I don't think I can... You start cramping and certain positions. One more, Maggie. Come on, one more. Josh does heavy petty, you're gonna go far and pass it on? I have really tight hips since I was a kid. You start cramping and certain positions. One more, Maggie, come on, one more. One more, Maggie, come on, one more. Update on the pickles. It is popular with trans women because it's a side effect of the drug Speranolactone.

Speranolactone? That one. That's what I said. And according to Pink News, it's a symbol of trans rights. Oh my God! Pickles are a symbol of trans rights? What? We've always been pro trans rights in the Mythical Kitchen. Yum, it's a symbol of trans rights. Oh my god! Pickles are a symbol of trans rights! What?! Who knew? We've always been pro trans rights in the Mythical Kitchen. Delish!

And pro pickle. I love that. Yeah, fun. That's amazing. That's awesome. Thanks, Meggie. Love that. What did trans guys crave? Hey, Nicole Guacamole and Josh Gulosh.

It's your boy, Leighton, AKA, Dragon. I gotta come up with one for you. Congratulations, Nicole, on the pregnancy. Thanks, baby! My baby. I'm actually expecting our first child later this year. When setting up the registry I came across molds for breast milk popsicles and had no idea that that existed. And then that led me down the wrong rabbit hole and I learned that there are places that serve breast milk in meals like regions of Mongolia as well as some avant-garde chefs doing bizarre dining experiences. So yeah what are your thoughts on using human bodily fluids in cooking? Bye!

Bye! You guys want me to take this one? Do you want to take this one? We've cooked with breast milk before. I have very strong feelings. We've cooked with breast milk before. It should be strong feelings. We've cooked with breast milk before. It should be so normal. We made a macaroni and cheese with breast milk one time.

Whoa, and? Yeah, it was fine. It was fine. Um, um, what? I don't love it. We didn't get enough to make like the whole cheese sauce. Okay, listen. We didn't get like a gallon of breast milk to make a bechamel.

No, no, it was, it was like this much. A little bit. So, my thought is, if it is no longer viable for a baby to eat, then yes, you can use it to cook or you can give it to bodybuilders that'll pay top dollar for it. Collecting colostrum, like save colostrum. I know colostrum's good. But I think if the baby can no longer consume it

and if it's going to go to the landfill or whatever, it's going to go to waste. Yeah, give it to someone who can use it. Also, those Popsicle things, I like got that in like a breast pack or something. There's breast packs. But I thought that that was just for like to put in your bottle so it stays cold.

Well, maybe it's dual purpose. I don't know if they're actually like yum, yum, yum. Like Popsicles. Oh, you're saying like freeze your breast don't know if they're actually like, yum, yum, yum, like popsicles. Oh, you're saying like freeze your breast milk into breast milk ice cubes so it'll keep the... They give you the popsicle holders. Is breast milk supposed to be served cold? No, no, no, but if you want to keep it for a while,

you freeze it. But if you want to go travel, you can put one of those cold things in there. But God, what do I know? I haven't even had my baby yet. I haven't dived into the breastfeeding stuff really, so I don't know yet. We don't know yet.

What a journey. We don't know yet. We're figuring it out. Also, diving in when you're pregnant, it's kind of like, well, you don't know. I don't know. I'm doing all the research. My OB was like, okay.

Wait till you won't know until it happens. Oh my god. You know, it's like a bodily fluid, sure, but it's like it's the food one. You want a breast milk popsicle? A little bit, you know, but a little saffron or something. You know who wants a breast milk popsicle? Is Ian from Smosh for sure. He has definitely talked about breast milk. I think we just have to make a video for the guys and just help them out.

It's weirder that we eat other animals breast milk than it is that we would eat human breast milk. I agree. That's the one point that the vegans really have on us, that we're stealing the... There's colostrum from cows that they put in powder that people put in... Yeah, wow.

If you're fine drinking donkey milk, then you should be fine drinking human milk. There's like one Serbian cheese nation donkey milk. Peace out. And peace out on that. We covered everything. Trans rights, donkey cheese. And peace out on that. Wow.

Do you want me to? What can't we do? Oh, there's an outro. Open your laptop. See ya. No, we can do the outro. Hey, thank you so much for stopping by Hot Dog with a Sao. We got new episodes out every week. Oh, there's an outro. Open your laptop. See ya.
