Today we have one of the people, she doesn't know this yet, but one of the people that my wife and I have admired from afar. Sydney, welcome to the show. So nice. Thank you. I appreciate that. That's so nice. So we really, if my wife was here, she would attest this, oh, like a week and a half ago, we were talking about people from the show who have recently had little children. Yes. Because we were getting prepped to announce our child.

And your name popped up. And we were looking at everything that you've just done with life over the last few years. And it's been awesome. Yeah. And so for those who, just as a reminder, what season of the show were you on? Yeah, I was on season 24. Okay, four years after me, which was who was The Bachelor? Pilot Peter Weber.

Pilot Peter Weber. Almost forget his last name. It's fine. It's been long. And now you were married to your husband. Yeah. Yes. And you recently just had a baby.

We did. Yes, we did. It's been the best thing that's ever happened to us, of course. So yeah. So, yeah. So ever since The Bachelor, things kind of like happened really fast for us. Like I met Fred from The Bachelor. His family watched the show.

And long story short, we started dating after when I was in L.A. We met. We started dating with the purpose. After that, we both knew we wanted to take things seriously. Then we dated for about two years, got engaged for nine months, married a year and a half later. We have a beautiful baby boy. So you were living in L.A. before you went on the show? Wasn't living.

I just went there to do some work stuff. Stayed out there for a few weeks. And Fred, my husband, was there doing some off-season training in SoCal. So I didn't know anything really to do out there. He was out there. And we were just like, let's, you know, let's meet for dinner. And we did. And it was just, yeah, crazy.

The moment, like, every single moment after that, we knew, like, we wanted to be in each other's lives. So, yeah. Am I wrong in saying this? And yell at me if I am. Okay. Without the show, you wouldn't have met your husband. No, 100% no.

No. How so, like elaborate, please. Yeah. So his family watched the show. So he, the way that they, his family. family and him explain it to me is that they're watching the show. And afterward, they would text Fred and be like, there's this girl on The Bachelor this year. You need to, like, find her. If she doesn't win, you need to go and, like, find her and reach out to her. Like, she's your type.

She's, you know, da-da-da-da-da. We just think, like, you need to find this girl. And he was like, what are you guys talking about? This random person, like, just like you guys are being nuts. And at that time, he was actually playing in the Super Bowl against the Chiefs. I forget what year it was but he um they lost the game and then he was like there was like a week between when they lost the super bowl and i remember because i was in a mexican restaurant watching the super bowl and now i'm like that's so funny i'm like i was watching my husband and i didn't even know it yeah so then um weeks later he dms me after that's after i got off the show and if you've ever been on the show you know when you get right off your dms and your social media

and your phone is just going nuts and you're like how do i even handle all of this but i would just kind of sift through at night and like look and see who's messaging me and stuff. And his cam up on my phone and I was like, who is this? So I like go to his page and I was like, who is this person? I didn't even know what the 49ers were, which is really funny because I mean, I'm from Alabama. So all we know is just college football. So I had no idea about NFL anything. So anyways, found him, left it on red for a while. Then I ended up messaging him back and just, yeah, and that's how it started. Yeah. It's crazy. been how many years you said now it's almost five five years of marriage yeah of knowing each other

not married yeah and then how long of marriage four two two and a half with a little baby okay so now obviously life for you right now is amazing you have a little baby and you are married yeah let's go back to kind of that season of the bachelor like why would you go on it this like you're from Alabama, this random reality show. You say yes to it. Why did you do that? So I did it because I was young. I was single. I had no responsibilities, nothing tying me down. And I was like, well, I mean, I've always been a relationship type of girl. I've always been in a relationship, wanted to be in a relationship. So I always dated really seriously. Just never worked out. So I was like, well, why not take this to like the next level and like really put myself in a position to where I've only you know one goal is to

really get to know this person know if I want to be with them and then you know if it's reciprocated then you know there you go you found your husband so that was the goal um so that's why I went on and it was obviously crazy way it is a crazy way to find love but sometimes it does work which is amazing it didn't work for me in that formula but I feel like it worked out you know in a completely different why I did find my husband so same with me I mean that's really kind of like my story right it didn't work out for me like I wanted to totally but then my wife I think responds to my direct message yeah because I had a blue check mark and it popped up to the top well good like I think that's a plus right and I had a background check because I was the bachelor and so she's like yeah

because Fred had a blue check mark at the time too so yeah those automatically you're like look a little deeper into those. Like, oh, that's, you know, let me get to check this one out. So, yeah, well, good. That's good. Yeah. We have very similar stories. That's so funny. Yeah. My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly and now I'm seriously suspicious.

Well, wait a minute, Sam. Maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit. Well, Dakota, it's back to school week on the OK story time podcast. So we'll find out soon. This person writes, my boyfriend has been hanging out with his young professor a lot. He doesn't think is a problem, but I don't trust her. Now he's insisting we get to know each other, but I just

want her gone. Now hold up. Isn't that against school policy? That sounds totally inappropriate. Well, according to this person, this is her boyfriend's former professor and they're the same age. It's even more likely that they're cheating. He insists there's nothing between them. I mean, do you believe him? Well, he's certainly trying to get this person

to believe him because he now wants them both to meet. So, do we find out if this person's boyfriend really cheated with his professor or not?

What would you do if one bad decision forced you to choose between a maximum security prison or the most brutal boot camp designed to be hell on earth? Unfortunately for Mark Lombardo, this was the choice he faced. He said, you are a number, a New York state number, and we own you. Shock incarceration, also known as boot camps, are short-term, highly regimented correctional programs that mimic military basic training. These programs aim to provide a shock of prison life,

emphasizing strict discipline, physical training, hard labor, and rehabilitation programs. Mark had one chance to complete this program and had no idea of the hell awaiting him the next six months. The first night was so overwhelming, and you don't know who's next to you. And we didn't know what to expect in the morning. Nobody tells you anything.

The Super Secret Bestie Club podcast season four is here. And we're locked in. That means more juicy cheesement. Terrible love advice. Evil spells to cast on your ex. No, no, no, no. We're not doing that this season. Oh.

Hey, sis, what if I could promise you you never had to listen to a condescending finance, bro, tell you how to manage your money again. Welcome to Brown Ambition. This is the hard part when you pay down those credit cards. If you haven't gotten to the bottom of why you were racking up credit or turning to credit cards, you may just recreate the same problem a year from now. When you do feel like you are bleeding from these high interest rates, I would start shopping for a debt consolidation loan, starting with your local credit union, shopping around online, looking for some online lenders because they tend to have fewer fees and be more affordable.

Listen, I am not here to judge. It is so expensive in these streets. I 100% can see how in just a few months you can have this much credit card debt when it weighs on you. It's really easy to just like stick your head in the sand. It's nice and dark in the sand. Even if it's scary, it's not going to go away just because you're avoiding it. And in fact, it may get even worse. For more judgment-free money advice,

listen to Brown Ambition on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Now, I need some advice from you. Okay. So you are a new mother. Yes. I'm sure it's been a fire hose of just learning and just emotion. Yes.

If you were to speak to any new parents out there about what it's like to have a newborn. Yeah. What would you say? So I say this often and just this month, which he'll be five months. He's five months this month. I just got a rhythm. We just got a rhythm.

But especially me, like, I'm his mother. I'm with him 99% of the time. So I feel like I have gotten my rhythm. Before that, there is no rhyme rhythm. There's nothing that you can do that's going to make things make sense. My big thing is when they're new. newborns technically, like that first month and a half, I just let him, like, the sleeping is like the biggest thing, you know, like these new sleep schedules and sleep queues and da-da-da-da-da.

And I only started honing into that until like three months. And I feel like that's why I'm able to do things like this now and go out and be normal because I was a stickler from that three months to five month. He sleeps 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. or 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. now this morning I had to wake him up at 8.30 because I'm like, okay, little guy, like, we got to get up. But all I can say is before that those two months, you can't put any pressure on yourself to, like, make a schedule. He needs to sleep this time.

He just let them be, you know, in that newborn stage because all they want to do is sleep and eat, sleep and eat and to be with mama and touch and smell you and your wife. Like, that's the most important thing. And don't get caught up in the schedule because it's easy to now with social media and Instagram and all you see is like sleep schedule and my baby's doing this and da-da-da. Let that go. Tell her to just relax work on. her postpartum. I had the craziest postpartum experience. The emotions hit you like you

like a truck. I never experienced that before. What do you mean by that? Just the emotions that you feel after your home when you're in the hospital, it'll be the best days of your life. It'll just be like you're living on cloud nine. Then you get home, you're still riding that beautiful wave. And then something in this chemical makeup of the woman, everything comes crashing down. Like I cried for two weeks three times a day for no reason my husband would just look at me and just be like what can i do and i'm like baby like honestly nothing like i don't know why i'm like this and you just have to get through that and he's like well if we need to talk to someone like let me know i'm like i'm just good i'm just gonna ride this out um but that's something i didn't expect so that's something you should be you know just

watch her love on her a little more she's going to be going through a lot just the emotions of having that baby and those postpartum hormones going up and down is something that i just did not i was not prepared for. So yeah, it's a wild ride. It's a wild right. What did your husband do that really felt good to you? Like, it felt like he was nail on it. Um, so he would help a lot with nighttime feedings. So at the time I was pumping and breastfeeding. So, you know, I always have to sleep in between that and there's not much time to do that at all. So he would, I would pump before I went to bed so that I knew I had two bottles for him and he would do two of the nighttime wake time so that I could get those three hours of sleep. And then the last two

wake times I would do. And then we would just be up for our day at 6 a.m. So he would take the majority of all of the night shift, which was just like incredible for the mama, especially if you're pumping and breastfeeding because you have to wake, you have to wake up to pump to be if she wants to breastfeed. And if she if she's not breastfeeding, I would say just put like a formula like baby bottle thing in your room so that you can just roll over and and give him a bottle. and just make everything in your room. Your guys' room, make it like a sanctuary.

Yes, okay. Yeah, yeah. My co-host here, Ashley, she does that. Yes. And she just learned it for her second, not with her first, but her second,

she's now learning. She told me to make her bedroom for, like, non-stop. You don't have to leave. We have a mini fridge in there. I just took it out the other day with, you know,

if you're doing formula, like a baby breza, if she's going to do formula, definitely put the baby brezah on your registry because it's incredible. It's what it we use now. But yeah, she's pumping, all the pumps just right near her so that she doesn't have to do anything.

But feed that baby whichever way she's going to do it and put him back or her back in the bassinet. Good advice. Yeah. It's a lot. I'm trying to learn from any way I can. It's a lot. Now, obviously, your husband does play in the NFL. Yes.

Your baby is five months old. The season is coming right upon us. Will you to go to most games? And my follow up question that would be, will he recognize. his father on the field. So he definitely recognizes our faces now and our voices. When we come into a room, he lights up. He knows who we are.

But it's funny you say that because last night we had our first preseason game at Levi's, and I took him. And it was definitely a learning experience because I was like, what am I going to do all season? So this was kind of just the first time doing it. And it was an interesting night. I left before halftime, got him home just in time for bath, bedtime routine.

and he was just he was not a happy camper. It was just too much on him. It was very loud. There's thousands of people when you're used to being at home with music. I don't do screen time. So he was very like overstimulated. So we've got to work on that.

But my plan is just to take him to most day games for the home games and then night games he's going to have to be with a babysitter because I just don't want to put him through that. It's too much. She's too little. He's too little.

You'll be gone. I will try to go to most home games 100% depending on a babysitter slash grandma's schedule. So we'll see. That's awesome. Well, thanks for coming tonight. Of course. It means a lot to us.

You've just been absolutely. It's like so cool. As I said, we just checked up on you the other day and we're like, you're just, it's so awesome to see you as a mom. Thank you. To see you out there doing your thing. Yeah. And to see you here tonight, just hanging out with all of us.
