The following podcast is a Dear Media production. Him and her. Aha! Are we fucking ready? Why is your mic not on, Taylor? There's a free plug right there for Popchips. Potato sea salt chips. No one wants to hear you chilling. All right, Lauren, I'm leading the interview here. Okay. Taylor, is your mic on?

You should be able to hear me. It takes you 18 fucking years to get the goddamn cameras open in this studio. We spent however God knows how much money on the Dear Media studio. We can't even get a fucking camera going here in less than 10 minutes. I thought there was going to be a guest. No, you're back. All right. Daddy's leading this.

This is going to be just going to be an episode about how irritated I am with this studio not working up to my speed and standards.

This episode is actually not about you. I know that's hard for you to understand. Hold on. Let me have one more pop chip. Okay.

The poor audience. Yeah, you should be good. Okay. Let's do this. All right. This fucking thing that Ann Taylor, the way you had me Yeah, you should be good. Okay, let's do this. All right. This fucking thing that... Ann Taylor, the way you had me move with this camera, this thing's in my balls right now.

It's literally in my balls. You know what's not in your balls? The sperm that exited your penis. That's right. Listen, I was so intentional about that sperm, like just traveling as far and as fast as it needed to go. Well, that's a way to announce a pregnancy. I remember when I was doing it.

First of all, I remember the exact moment in time. I pushed harder than I probably should have been in and I squeezed every ounce of my being out of myself. I have to go. What the fuck, Michael? That is so much information. And it got the job done once again. But that's straight to the point too

I thought there was going to be a little bit of caressing to kind of warm up to it but no Taylor I remember I was zoned in and I was like

in a zen state of mind and it was like almost in the movie when like you go into like that like you like come outside of your body inception

no not inception that's a dream thing this was not a dream this was reality this was reality no I like I basically just like channeled all of my energy and being through my pipe. Leave it to Michael Bostic to make my pregnancy all about him.

And fuck, hopefully your dad's not listening to this. You astral projected straight into Lauren's vagina. My dad's for sure listening. He is. That guy tunes in, right? He's the first download every time. Anyway, Brad, you're about to have another grandchild. straight into Lauren's vagina. My dad's for sure listening. He is. That guy tunes in, right? He's the first download every time. Anyway, Brad,

you're about to have another grandchild, so. Well, Brad knows. Oh, yeah, that's right. We already told Brad. Yeah, Brad knows. But everybody else, here we go again. Here we go again.

Here we go again. You're welcome, Lauren. I guessed it. I knew it. I guessed it, though, because I had a dream. I don't do... No, no, no. Let's talk about the lie.

You think that... Okay, so this is what happened because I had a dream. I don't do... No, no, no. Let's talk about the lie. You think that... Okay, so this is what happened. I had a dream that Lauren had basically posted something on social media saying, guess what, everybody? I'm pregnant. I want to know what the baby is going to be called. Nobody can hear what the fuck you're saying. You know what?

But here's the thing. Hold on, hold on. Taylor says he had a dream. That is a blatant lie. I was doing ads and I probably sent him a recording where in the background I said, I'm pregnant, Michael, go get me a water. No, I swear to you. I swear to you that that never happened. Literally, I had a dream. I feel like you had a wet dream about me. I woke up because it felt so real. It legitimately felt so real that that's why I sent you a message.

I even said, I'm telling you, you're going to get pregnant. I didn't know she was, but I was letting them know that I had an omen that you're going to get pregnant. I didn't know she was, but I was letting them know that I had an omen that she was going to get pregnant. I don't believe anything. I think you heard something when you were editing one of our shows. I swear on my life. It literally just came to me in my dreams. DM us and tell us if you believe him or not.

It's a lie. The results came in. They all think you're lying. All right. So, how did you find out? I think I knew before you. Okay. First of all, Michael and I decided that we would start trying and I'm thinking, oh, I think I'll get pregnant in January. I had a plan to do ayahuasca. I had a plan to get drunk in Cabo. I had a plan to go to Switzerland and drink Bailey's hot chocolate by the motherfucking fire. I had a plan to have vodka sodas with Ingrid.

I had a plan to have La Piscines. I had a plan. And leave it to Michael. It happened right away, which I'm grateful for. But you know what I don't really understand about you? It's like, if you're actively trying, I mean, listen, we're lucky and we're actively trying and it ended up happening and that's great and very grateful.

But like, why did you think that when you're like actively trying and timing and doing all these things, that then it would still like magically manifest when you were done with your ayahuasca and like, like a scene journey? Like, and I'm not, I'm actually asking you like why, like you thought like it was just going to all that. It was just going to hold until you were done going like on a bender or what? I have to be honest. I don't really have

that great of a relationship with like my period and ovulation and all these things that are talked about so much. I don't know enough about it. So I just thought usually it takes a couple months. I was, or sometimes it takes even longer than that. I was trying to humble myself too. Well, you know what most people do then? They say like, hey, I want to do all these debaucherous things and then try. But you've never been good at making plans. If it wasn't for me, then I don't know what would happen to you. We told you this the other day. If I didn't come back in, you'd be dating some guy that fell off a melon truck. Your life would be in shambles. Whatever you want to think, Michael. Thank fucking God I came back to you.

Thank God, Lauren. Thank God I had such a strong pursuit. Okay. So I found out... Or thank me, actually, I guess. I found out by being on the phone on a conference call and I took a quick pregnancy test because I was feeling bloated and I was pregnant. And let me tell you something about you taking pregnancy tests.

I don't know how you fail a pregnancy test, but you fail. Like you literally get the test and will tell me it's not. And then I'll go back and look and it'll say it is because... No, that happened my first pregnancy. My first pregnancy to give context. No, it happened on this one too. No, it didn't. My first pregnancy to give context, I took the line one.

Don't take the line one, okay? I'll tell you why. The line, it's like a light, light, light pink. You need the one that says pregnant, not pregnant. It's like the COVID antibody test. You take it and you think you don't have it. And then you go back a few hours later and it's like you do have it, but you have to put it under a microscope to see that the line's there.

I don't know. But I'm telling you, you did fail because I found one in my toiletry bag that you took that you said was not. And then I looked at it. Remember, I showed it to you and I said, hey, this one... Maybe you're right. I am right. I know.

Maybe you're right. What do you think? I'm just carrying random... I do want to say this. So I did 70 days with no alcohol. And in the 70 days I was doing with no alcohol, I got pregnant. So a lot of... We both did it.

Yeah. A lot of people were like... When I was doing 70 days, no alcohol, they were like, you're pregnant. I was doing with no alcohol, I got pregnant. So a lot of people were like, when I was doing 70 days, no alcohol, they were like, you're pregnant. I was not pregnant. It was towards the end. So not only do I have to be sober for 10 months because pregnancy, I also on top of that was sober for 70 days. So I've been sober, sober, sober. So yeah, I found out. You just added an extra two months to your punishment. I added an extra two months. Okay. It sucks because drinking Lauren's is always fun too. I'm always a fun time. I feel, I'm like, Taylor, I keep the energy flowing. Like, you know it. Taylor has two beers, boxed out and tells you his whole life story. Michael's

always like, oh, it's getting late. I gotta go. Lauren just keeps going. Taylor keeps going. What are you talking about? Taylor had two beers the other night at our house and like, it was like, okay. Oh, I would have, I would have stayed

till midnight. I kind of got the vibe. I was like, oh, it looks like it's time. You were in the middle. You got the vibe when we were like

putting the baby down and putting her in a bath and like. Yeah, Lauren's like doing her night routine makeup. I don't do makeup at night. I mean,

face care. This is the difference of I guess, like somebody who's has children, someone who doesn't. Taylor, you could have just turned up and gone on a full bender that night. Yeah, I would have. It depends. But I would have looked at what everyone else is doing. I wouldn't have just done it solo.

But you know what's funny about you is that you came over and you take three hours to eat one piece of pizza. I don't know what's going on with the way you eat. Literally, I watched you. It took you three hours to consume one piece of pizza. Yeah, I know. That's why everyone was kind of closing up and I could tell everyone was like, okay, are you done? Closing time.

Dude, I've actually never... Time to turn the lights off. Keep going. That was not bad. We should get you a record deal through the podcast. I've never met somebody, Taylor, in my entire life that is on such a different wavelength and page when it comes to reading a room.

Just take that as a compliment, Taylor. And I mean that in a nice way. Sometimes I look and I'm like, man, this guy is just on his own thing. So I found out I was pregnant and I decided to tell Michael that night, which was a really bad idea. I wish I waited. Because, well, hold on. Now people are going to be like,

why? What's the problem? What did he do? I flew from Texas to Los Angeles. Crimea River. That morning at 5.30 in the morning. I did meetings all day in Los Angeles. Then I got back on the latest flight back from Los Angeles to Texas the same day

and got back into... I walked into our bedroom at like one in the morning. And I was like, oh, hey, creepy with my Kindle. Which I probably should have thought. I thought you just missed me. I'm like, oh, I can't sleep without my husband. No, no, no. I was like, oh my gosh, I cannot believe this.

And so I decided to take my Chihuahua boon, put like a gangster hoodie on him, an oversized hoodie, and stuff it with positive pregnancy tests. Well, this is why I was like, I mean, listen, this is why you should, you know, if you're ever giving somebody some big news, maybe don't do it when they have traveled all day and slept no, like... I got the memo. Because I didn't, I should have thought like,

why the fuck's the dog in a sweatshirt in the bed in the night and why are you up at 1.30? But I was so delirious and so out of it that I didn't even know. And then when you told me, my brain went into like shutdown mode and didn't even know how to process it. It's weird because the first time you're pregnant compared to the second time is different. It's totally different. You can't even compare it. Like the first time you were like crying and sobbing and kissing me and drinking champagne. And the second time, you're obviously so excited too. But it's just I wanted fireworks this time. The reaction that I gave wasn't up to your...

No, I need Academy Award winning performance. Yeah, that wasn't... You cried. I remember editing the video for it. You're like, you're pregnant. You're pregnant. But you drank. And I'm like, no, I didn't. It was fake. Do you run bloated? I know I do. I woke up the other morning so bloated. I had like a histamine reaction or something. My face was bloated. My eyes were bloated. I looked like a puffer fish.

Obviously, I use the ice roller. Of course, I have to have ice on my face because if I don't have ice on my face, I just will blow up even more the first thing in the morning. But another thing that I do to help with bloat that I think you guys will love is I use Array. And this is a product that I have been talking about for the last year and a half. I have told all my friends the other day, I was at a photo shoot. I gave it to so many of the people there. We were eating Chick-fil-A and I was handing it out like candy. And basically it's this herbal supplement. Okay. So it's a

fruit-based digestive enzyme. And in it, it has like peppermint leaf, ginger root. It has bromelain, which is found in pineapple. And each of the herbs is geared towards fighting bloat. So when I woke up so puffed up, I used my ice roller. I took my array. I like to take it right after I'm done eating. So I'll do two capsules. And I cannot tell you how much better I felt.

They also just launched a bloat latte so you can drink it too. I prefer the capsules because they're quick and they're on the go, but either works. You guys have to try them. They're so up your alley and they're very skinny confidential-esque. You are going to go to array.com, that's A-R-R-A-E.com and use code SKINNY at checkout. This gives you 10% off of one-time purchases or 25% off your first month on subscription. Enjoy. Well, this time, I mean, listen, I would have probably, well, one, you know, I think second time around, it's not as, you've done it. Your future kids listening

to this. Yeah. I mean, you know, they're going to understand, like they, they'll get me by then. They'll know who I am. But you, you kind of like the first time you don't really know, you've never been through, you don't really know what to do. I mean, like talk to parents that have had like three, four, five kids. Like they're like, it's not like the last one's like, where the fuck everyone, you know, whatever, you know. By the sixth kid. So I was a sneeze before and I was like diving to the hospital. Yeah. It'll be different. But no, I think like, what the fuck, everyone? You know, whatever. By the sixth kid, you're like, huh. So I was a sneeze before and I was like diving to the hospital. Yeah, it'll be different. But no, I think like, you know, this and I would have probably had a much stronger reaction,

but I was dead asleep. Okay. So that was that. And then we just decided that we wanted to, again, enjoy the pregnancy quietly. I just wanted to enjoy it. I didn't want to tell anyone right away. I wanted to go to the doctor. I wanted to wrap my head around it. I'm usually a very intentional person and I don't like to go run and tell everyone everything right away. It's just not

my personality. It's never been my personality since I've been little. So I decided to take a step back and wait again, just wait again. I'm sorry. And Michael says on the next one, I have to be like telling everyone, you know, why? Cause I don't want to tiptoe around and be like, you know, I might, it might slip out. Maybe I'm having a beer with the guys and I might like say something or someone's like, why? You know, what slipped out sperm out of your deck. God, learn. Can we wait? So the pullout game is definitely not a very reliable form of contraception. Are you asking for yourself or for a friend?

Just in curious. Just so... I have a scientific question. So as far as... It's going to be the most unscientific question ever. The pullout game. So basically what you've been doing

is you've been 100% pulling out and then nutting 100% out. Do you want to watch our sex? No. Don't you have enough? This is a personal thing, but let me tell you something. I had to go back to condoms

for a while because like, you know, I don't... I don't love a condom press. I don thing, but let me tell you something. I had to go back to condoms for a while because, like, you know, I don't trust the pullout game that much. I think that, especially, it's a little dicey. And, like,

you know, Lauren and I made the, what do they call them? Irish twins? We made the intention. That was a little too soon. We wanted to give ourselves a little bit of breathing room.

So I was, I fucking hate condoms, man. If I could do an advertisement against condoms, this would be it. I hate them so much. It feels like there's a bag over my... Taylor's trying to ask a question

for his own self. No, I do have a question. So when they say like, quote unquote, like pull out, does that mean that they essentially, that the baby was conceived from like leakage? Because it wasn't like you didn't...

We didn't pull out. Oh, you didn't pull out. No, we were intentionally trying. Did you miss the whole part of this? Yeah, I missed that whole part. Sorry. we were intentionally trying. Did you miss the whole part of this? Oh my God. Yeah, I missed that whole part. Sorry. Never mind.

You know, this makes me worried sometimes when you're back there editing the show because you're actively participating in this one. He's beating his meat to the fact that we had sex. I completely missed that section. Okay. I want a camera installed back there so I could see what's on your screen right now.

For sure, porn. For sure. Yeah. So we decided to keep it on the down low for a while and then we had a cabo trip coming up you can watch it on my instagram highlights and we went with my dad and my stepmom and obviously i was in a bathing suit the whole time so i told them he said why isn't lauren having her normal 16 margaritas each day so what we decided to do and this was michael's idea is when they came and sat down for like our welcome dinner we had baby bottles delivered of margaritas i forgot i did that that was a good

move mine was a mocktail in case the internet wants to go back and zoom in like they did last time who cares i can't worry about that it's not it wasn't pure tequila and so we had baby bottles delivered to everyone at the table. And it took them a second though. They thought it was like a fancy drink that they served in bottles. Yeah. And then I got to sit and watch everyone drink. Are you going to do the move where you take credit for that in like two years?

I literally just said Michael's idea. So we told my parents and then we haven't really told anyone until recently. We decided to wait until Zaza's birthday party, which was last weekend. And we decided to announce it to everyone there. I kind of just showed up pregnant. I walked into my mother-in-law's house pregnant. Imagine her surprise.

Your sister knew though. Yeah, but no more of this. Like if this, I mean, I don't know if this could be the end for us. I need to wrap my head around stuff. No more big announcements or creeping around in the shadows or hiding with the big sweatshirts. I'm wearing, I've been wearing, like everyone's like,

how do you hide a pregnancy for this long? I've been wearing just sweats and sweats. You know what? I'm telling, next time if it happens, I'm just going to, first day I'm like, hey, it's pretty, move on. First of all, it's my body.

So I'll be deciding. But listen, it's awkward because I'm like creeping around. I don't care about you creeping around. And they're like, it's 88 degrees outside. Why is Lauren in a sweatsuit? Like, why is she, you know, doing this? And I don't know.

She gets the chills. I want to talk about how different this pregnancy has been compared to Zaza. It's been tougher on me. Oh, my God. No one cares about you. They want to know how Lauren is. Every single thing grosses me out. Okay.

This did not happen with Saza. Everything from the smell of Michael's cologne to my dog's breath to the smell of orange juice grosses me out. I cannot eat anything. Does anyone else have a pregnancy like this? Everything I have an aversion to. I have an aversion to even cleaning supplies. I had to switch all my cleaning supplies. When a candle's blown out, the smell that it releases

after it's been blown out is the grossest smell I've ever smelled. I can't even describe it. A lot of people like that smell. No, it's disgusting when you're pregnant. But everything tastes like metal. And there's like this name for it. It starts with a D. You'll have to Google it. And I guess it's hormonal. And my whole entire pregnancy, every single thing I have put in my mouth, and I mean every single thing I have put in my mouth, tastes like metal. Besides three things. Pomegranate seeds. You've seen me eating a lot of those.

When you see me eating pomegranate seeds on Instagram story, I'm pregnant. Tons of pomegranate seeds, white sushi rice. It cannot be white rice. It has to be white sushi rice, which is super interesting because it's sweeter, but Michael is a fourth Japanese. And the sushi rice that I like is it's Japanese. So you think my ancestors are coming through yeah it's true and I actually listened to like a whole podcast on this it's genetic like there's something in genetics that that has certain cravings so then the other thing and if anyone knows what this is I will think it's wild the only person that knew who this was was Ramey who's on the podcast and my friend Ingrid but it is called umboski paste and it's like this acquired taste that tastes like a plum it is a plum it's a Japanese plum

very tart very like sour the most sour the most tart and the reason that I found out about it is because I went to an herbalist for this metal taste and she gave me herbs and she said, eat this paste. And I have eaten this paste all day, every day. It's so good. The brand that I get is like Empire something. So I also talk about it, by the way, on my pregnancy episode on how I lost the pregnancy weight. I wanted to record that before I started to gain weight back from this pregnancy. So I got that up for you guys. And then the next podcast episode is, hey, I'm pregnant. I thought you were going to hint, hint, leaning towards that. You're going to say Michael's dick wasn't the one that tasted like metal because you, the way you said, you're like everything. I mean, everything.

I might have insinuated. I said everything tastes like metal. Everything tastes like metal. No, he's saying that he thought that the thing that didn't taste like metal was. Yeah. I thought that's the three. I thought the big, the third one was going to be the reveal that it was that. You thought she just... You got dick on the mind, man. You thought that it was just like, this is the only thing that I can take right now is just dick. Exactly.

I can't handle any food, only dick. No, I can eat... Someone's going to pull that clip and it's going to be me and it's not going to go over well for me. Well-deserved. I can eat three things. Maybe in the future, if I run for political office, they'll pull that clip and it'll just disqualify me. Who knows?

If anyone knows about this metal taste, I'm not joking. I've been wanting to ask the audience this for so long. Please DM me, write it on my Instagram, shout it from the rooftops. I need so much help. Nothing works. It's disgusting. And the first pregnancy I had, I gained 55 pounds. This one, I can't eat anything. I would rather be eating chocolate chip bagels. I can't eat butter. I can't eat cheese. I can't eat... This morning, I had a bite of pancake. I can't... Nothing tastes good. I had a chocolate chip bagel for breakfast. You know where the best chocolate chip bagels are? Whitney Port told me this, and it's so true if you're in LA, Sam's bagel, chocolate chip bagel toasted with butter. I ate those all with sauce. There's a white space in the Austin market for

chocolate chip bagels. If somebody gets that, dial in. No one has them. No one has them. I know. We've looked around. Oh, I've researched that. Yeah. You know what? I got to be honest. I'm very sorry that you're going through these aversions. It seems like a huge mess and I feel bad, but I will say, the last one you had me driving. Remember I was chasing food trucks down in LA? They would go change locations and I had to go on a map and find out the location and chase them around the city. There was this bagel place called Yeasty Boy Bagels and they moved around. They were a truck. Of course, I find the hardest thing on the planet. But I didn't know. So I just went to the normal stop and it wasn't there.

And I was like, oh, sorry, they're not there. And she went on and made me like track them down. I was like, it was like a high speed chase to get the fucking bagel truck. Okay. Well, now I can't eat anything. So this is miserable. Please help me send all your help. I was trying to think of a bagel name that you could call for like a,

it would be like called yeast infection. And it'd be like a bagel truck. But it could be like a picture of like a big giant bagel, like terrorizing the city. Sometimes I tell you to turn your mic on and then midway through, I'm like, why did I tell him to turn his mic on? You know, I get where you're going with that.

It's actually kind of a cool, like I can like picture the brand actually. It's like a bagel that's like, maybe like a Godzilla type bagel. Yeah, exactly. That's what I was thinking. But the name is just so terrible. Yeah, and they would need to put a spin on it.

But that's where I was going with that. Because the Yeasty Boys is like, oh, I wonder if there's a way you could use it in another sense. Yeah, so probably back to the drawing board on that brand. But I get where you're going, honestly. So what are you... Okay, people want to know this. You framed out the questions for me.

What are you taking supplement-wise right now? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing differently this time than the first time around? Because I think the first time around, you don't really know. You're kind of learning. This time now, you've, you know, second time around. First of all, let me ask you, what are you doing differently this pregnancy? Because I feel like you're treating me like nothing is going on.

No, that's not true. It's just the first time. I think every new partner, every new dad... Your future kids listening. You don't know the first time. So I was probably a little bit more freaked out about like... Okay. I know people are probably getting... We have some people that can't handle sex conversations or vulgar language. I don't know what the fuck they're doing listening to this show. But for those people, maybe tune out. So there's these times in the first pregnancy where I didn't really know how to maneuver in the bedroom. And I was worried that I was going to

like hurt you and the baby or like- Your dick is not touching the baby's head. But I think a lot of guys go through that. They don't know. It's the first time around. No one's dick is touching the baby's head. Well, it's not just that. You don't know how to touch. You don't want to be too rough. You don't this weird thing where you're having slow, boring sex. If you're scared to get after it. This time around, I'm like, all right, we can get after it. I'm grabbing. I'm doing whatever I got to do. I'm climbing up and down. I'm as well, I'm not as nervous as I was the first time. But I know it's like, okay, this is the process. This is what happens at this stage. It's what happens at that stage. So it's not that I'm not being as attentive. It's just that I'm not as panicky as I was the first time. Okay. Which is kind of nice. If you've been listening to this podcast for a while, you know we are all about being the best

version of yourself. And I think one of those things is if you can and you feel like you need it, getting into therapy. I've talked about therapy a lot on this podcast.

Recently, it was Zaza's birthday and I wanted

to get something really special for myself and for her that we could have that was personalized where we could remember her second birthday. And so what I did is I went on Kendra Scott and I found the most adorable lockets. I wanted a locket. It just reminded me of nostalgia and I got a Z on one and an L on another. And I was like stalking their site and there's so many different things that you can customize. And I thought, especially for Valentine's Day, it's such a cute way to give a gift just to have something that's personalized.

So you can go on there and you can get bracelets or necklaces or rings, whatever you want customized. They also have other jewelry on there, but I think especially for Valentine's Day or Galentine's Day, it'd be cute to go on there and make something that's sentimental

for a friend or for your significant other. The exact one that I got for Zaza and I, and one that I feel like you have to look at if you're on the site, is called the Davis Locket Charm Necklace. I got it in silver. This is weird. I feel like silver necklace whitens the whites of my eyes and teeth. So I'm obsessed with the silver right now. And it's so cute how you can pick the kind of lettering you want on the locket. It's sterling silver. They also have 18 karat gold and it looks really, really expensive, but it's also at the same time, not crazy. So the personalization and engraving is free. Go check out their site, especially like I said for Valentine's day. And now through Valentine's day, you get 20% off your purchase when you use code SKINNY.

And you get this at any Kendra Scott store or online. So you can go to either or, it's kendrascott.com and that's 20% off your purchase of select Kendra Scott jewelry with code SKINNY. Standard exclusions apply.

That's K-E-N-D-R-A-S-C-O-T-T.com. Code SKINNY. N-D-R-A-S-C-O-T-T.com. Code skinny. What I'm doing different this pregnancy is I'm doing the same prenatal, I guess that's the same, ritual. I am taking a lot of different herbs and supplements. I'll make a list on the blog. I'm doing a lot of chlorophyll water. I didn't do that with Zaza. I'm eating a lot of fruit, inulin, hemp seeds, chia seeds, a lot of seeds. I'm eating a little bit less meat. I'm trying to up my bone broth. Not because it's intentional because I can't eat anything because of the metal. And I'm actually, along with Pilates, Melissa Wood Health, P-Volv, I'm doing weightlifting, which is different. I always...

The shape of my body this pregnancy is different than the first one because of weightlifting. Well, I think probably the first time around, you were doing mostly Pilates, right? Yoga. No, I was only doing Pilates and walking the first pregnancy. And this time I've incorporated weightlifting into it. And it's working, I think, well for me. I always thought it was strange, though. Like if you think about it, like you're carrying something in your body.

And you're obviously. And yeah, careful. Careful. And inevitably, you're going to change in body and change in weight. And you would think that like you would do weight. The layman would think you're doing weightlifting because you need to build muscle strength to be able to handle those changes. And I never understood like people that... It wasn't on my mind the first pregnancy.

It just wasn't. I was just focused on Pilates. I mean, we've talked just focused on Pilates. Well, I think, I mean, we've talked about this on previous shows. I think a lot of women in particular get nervous about weightlifting. They think it's going to make them like big or bulky. No, for me, it wasn't that. And I talked about this on my, how I lost my pregnancy weight the first time episode.

For me, it was that I am deathly afraid of workouts that spike my cortisol. I don't want to be around loud music. I don't want to be around someone telling me to get the fuck down screaming at me. I don't want to be with lights and blaring and all that stuff. So I was associating hit and Barry's bootcamp with weightlifting. And that was my mistake. And now I've learned that weightlifting is actually low cortisol workout, which is interesting. So they're different. So that's something that I'm doing different. And then I think another thing that I'm going to be doing very differently is I'm way more comfortable with a newborn. The first time I had a baby, I had barely had held a baby. I'd barely changed a baby. I knew nothing about it. I went into it

with my intuition only. This time I feel really comfortable with having a baby, but I also did not have a maternity leave the first time. And this time, and I'm saying this on air so everyone hears, I'm taking a maternity leave. Taylor, it looks like you and I are just taking over the show, buddy. Oh, my God. We can steer this ship back on track.

It's only taken us 450 episodes to get her off so we can take over the audience and do what we really wanted to do. When she decides to come back, it's going to be like, oh. We're going to be dissecting old sci-fi movies and video games from the 1990s

to early 2000s. Taylor's porn habit. I can talk about movies from the 90s, 80s, early, early aughts. different kinds of movies. Yeah, I mean, that was kind of,

well, that was the kind of crazy thing the first time. We both didn't really take any kind of leave. The podcast never stopped. We're not going to stop the podcast, don't worry. Podcast never stopped. We did batch a lot before. We did batch. But we're going to batch. I'm taking a mater of leave. The podcast never stopped. We're not going to stop the podcast. Don't worry. Podcast never stopped.

We did batch a lot. We did batch. But we're going to batch. I'm taking a maternity leave. Yeah, no, I'm listening. I'm taking space. I went right back into work. I remember I was literally working,

going into labor. I'm not doing that. You know what makes me nervous about this one? With Zaza, you know, we've been back and forth, running around, you know, going where we need to go, doing interviews, all this stuff. With two, that's not going to be as easy. That's going to be a little more challenging. Well, guess what? We'll have to do what we always do and figure it out.

I love figuring it out. We'll have to find a way. Taylor, start brushing up on your nanny skills. We know a name. Yes, we have a name. We've had a name for a long, long time. Beatrix. Remember, I told you that's from my dream. Beatrix is one of the many. Couldn't be more wrong. I think it was Bernadette, Beatrix, and some other one. Literally, if we were playing hot and cold, you're in Finland. Okay, here.

Is it going to be something obscure? It's something... Michael and I... No, not obscure. Michael and I like unique, unique names to us, but we don't like to cause confusion on how you say the name. I want the name to be something that's easy to say. What about like eucalyptus, Bostic? Explain to me how you come to that. You're in Antarctica.

How do you come to that? I'm just trying to think of anything. Because you watched my Instagram story and saw I had eucalyptus in my shower this morning. No, it's because I put a eucalyptus candle on the table right there. That's why. Okay. Another lie. And then do we know the gender? We do know the gender. No, it's because I put a eucalyptus candle on the table right there. That's why. Okay. Another lie. And then do we know the gender? We do know the gender. We do.

Which is how we know the name. Okay, wait here. Before... No, sometimes you could do a unisex name. On the record, in my dream, it was a girl. So this is... I just want to let everybody know. I do not know.

You never had the dream. I do not know what it actually is. Why are you still hanging on to this dream thing? You didn't have a dream, man. That's three for three. If this is true, you're going to... dream, man. That's three for three if this is true. You're going to... Okay, hold on.

So state your hypothesis here. Is that the sex of the child is going to be female? Everyone has to go guess on my latest Instagram. Okay, so that's your hypothesis, which is how you came to the name Beatrice Eucalyptus. And Bernadette. And Bernadette Beatrice Eucalyptus. You can save that name for yourself.

Which, um... O'Connor. Beatrice O'Connor. I don't want to get you off your hypothesis, but the names are, yeah, like Lauren said, like if you're in Antarctica, buddy. Yeah, you're off the names. But yes, we have a name. Yes, we have a gender.

The way that I found out the gender was I had the doctor give it to me in an envelope and then I snuck it from Michael and wouldn't let him look at it. And I knew the whole time what the gender was. I knew immediately what the gender was. And I had Zaza hand him this envelope. And Zaza came up to you and handed it. My life is really stressful. Why?

Because it's just stressful. There's just... Everything has to be so dramatic. Yeah, I got to play all these... I love drama. Let me tell you why it's stressful. What do you want me to stressful. Everything has to be so dramatic. I love drama. Let me tell you why it's stressful. What do you want me to do? Just be boring about it? The dog's in a hoodie stuffed with pregnancy tests. Let's just set the bar. Zaza has an envelope. Zaza's

like Alex Trebek. Taylor, let me... I should have played the Jeopardy soundtrack. Let me set the bar here. Turn on Jeopardy. Why my life is stressful. One, let's just talk about just straight up, just talk about the business what I gotta do we're doing this show

eight times a month I gotta keep it fresh we gotta keep it going for the audience we gotta make it so they don't tune the fuck out and get bored so like that

that's a bar in itself then I gotta come to this company that we decided to run and go and I'm a glutton for punishment I mean I love all these women but it's a lot of women

no one cares a lot of women shows and a lot of women team members and it's a lot to manage a lot of the time. And then I got to play games with you all the fucking time. You're trying to hide this announcement, make this, do this game, do that, play hide in the envelope. It's just a lot. I'm going to drop dead in 10 years. I have a hot tip for the audience. Okay. And this maybe is a little peek into my next book. I have been playing games since I was 12 with you.

Yeah, I know. I'm going to drop dead in 10 years. I have been playing games and I will continue to play games until I'm dead with you. I read a review one time and it said, does Lauren hate her husband? And I'm starting to wonder, is that true? Because you play a lot of these games and my heart's going to stop. You know what? Let's just go off on a tangent. Do I hate my husband? What works for my husband and I maybe doesn't work for you, Karen. This works for us. It's a Karen that did it.

Well, it's like some, it's like a, like a Susan or something like, like this works for us. And we like to banter. If that doesn't work for you, that's okay. I don't know, Lauren. I'm, I'm maybe I'm changing. You know what? I also like to keep things spicy, like a game or 10. We're not playing fucking Monopoly. How do you know?

I'm playing chess, bitch. It's the longest form of systematic and organized mental abuse ever recorded. Doctors like, hey, man. Taylor, admit he likes it. Why do you think I can't get rid of him since he was 12? You know what you would do if you just, if you did do what he asks,

if you just said, hey, I'm pregnant, he would go, oh, that's how you told me? He goes, you took all the fun out of it. His reaction, this is the one thing,

his reactions are always kind of the same, but I think that his reaction isn't really conductive of what he's feeling. So that's why I think if you did resort

to what he's asking, he would be disappointed. Can you imagine if I had just a traditional normal baby shower? You would have said, hmm. While Lauren's over there being pregnant, I have been getting super healthy with my athletic greens. I'm taking it every single morning.

I'm feeling on fire. I got a lot of energy. I'm feeling like I'm on top of the world. I don't know about you, Lauren, but I feel fucking great. You look great. All joking aside, I literally use this every single day. They have been a partner for a while now. We've talked about athletic greens for a very long time. Listen, I'm somebody that struggles getting my greens. I've always been terrible eating salads, which is why I love this product so much because I get my full serving of greens multiple times a day. I take it in the morning and then I take it in midday and it's just a phenomenal product. Everything is

such high quality ingredients and it's a perfect way for someone like me who struggles to get the greens in naturally. And I'm sure there's many of our listeners, same thing to actually get them in. When we were on vacation recently, we were in Switzerland and Michael would wake me up every single morning. It was really cute with an athletic greens to get my greens in because sometimes when you're traveling, it's hard to get them in. So I would recommend getting their travel packets and taking them with you wherever you go or if you're on the go. Not even just the travel packets, but the bag that it comes in, it's sizable. You can put it in a carry bag very easily. Also, if you're in the office, you can put one in your desk drawer. It's

just a good thing to have, especially when you're on the go and you don't have healthy green options. And listen, it's lifestyle friendly, whether you eat keto, paleo, vegan, dairy-free, or gluten-free, it's all there. It contains less than one gram of sugar, no GMOs, no nasty chemicals or artificial anything, and it still tastes really good. It costs you less than $3 a day.

I realize I'm somebody that likes to kick and scream during the fight.

Like I like you asked me the other day, like, you know, my dad's got this thing. He's like, hey, you know, son, like you don't, you know, like his whole thing. I'm like, I've been married so long. I've told this joke on the show. And he says, well, I don't speak and I don't hear. And he's like, just accept it.

And like, I know 99% of the times that if I was just quiet and submissive and took it easy, but I have to do the kick down, drag out fight thing. So you play your own game. Yeah, I don't have it in me to just be like, okay, let me accept it, honey. It's going to be all right. But this is like our relationship.

It's how it works. It's how it runs. I don't get the problem. I like to systemize the businesses and make those run efficiently. But with the marriage, I like it to be a little rocky. I don't want our marriage to ever get boring. So yes, you are always going to get a game from me. Imagine if it wasn't and Lauren was

very vanilla. Imagine if it was vanilla. You know what? I'm going to be honest. I'm a little turned on now. His penis is literally popping over the table. Now that I've thought about it. You like it. Yeah. Okay. So anyone that wants to write a review about our relationship, he is rock. You know what? I did the review in there.

I knew that review would trigger you a little bit. You get a little angry. It's not triggering me. It's just like, mind your own business. You're right. I've read the reviews and they're always like,

Lauren's always so mean to everybody. She's mean to me. She's me, meaning that the reviews, they say, to mean to Taylor and mean to Michael.

It's not funny. Let me tell you what would happen if I was with a girl like that that didn't have a little bit of spice and fire. I'd run roughshod right all over her. Taylor. We wouldn't last more than a week.

Are you and I best friends? Absolutely. Lauren and Michael, I've been best friends with them for a long time. You don't have to include Michael in that. I used to try to date girls like that that were a little bit more tender and sweet and it didn't work.

Girls that only like missionary style. Taylor, don't you love how I pick on you? Absolutely. Trust me. If anybody's asking, I'm not asking for help. This isn't like abuse.

I like it. It's fun. It's the dynamic that I have with my friends. So just thank you for caring. Are they writing to you? They're like,

fuck these people that treat you like shit, man. You'd be surprised if you're reading them. You could tell they're like, they're trying to help. We did make you dress as a stork for my announcement. I forgot to tell everyone And you're like, fuck these people that treat you like shit, man. You'd be surprised if you're reading them. You could tell they're like, they're trying to help. We did make you dress as a stork for my announcement.

I forgot to tell everyone that. We ordered you a stork costume and made you walk around Zaza's party. Oh, yeah, I forgot. This is after the fact, too. As a stork. I was excited doing it, and I would have done it at any time. When you first asked me about it, I was like, absolutely. I didn't care what it was.

I like people, though, who are quirky and on the joke and get it and are witty. If someone is a little bit too sensitive about jokes, I don't know. I don't know if they're the right husband for me. I don't know if they're the right friend for me. Weston can take it, too. The weird thing, Taylor, was that I remember I was there

when she was asking you and she didn't tell you what she needed you to do. You just were saying yes. I think you're one of those guys that like, you like to be like chained up and whipped or something. No, the reason that I was saying yes, Lauren is asking me.

I was just saying, sure, whatever. Because to me, I don't really care. But you didn't know what she was asking. You were just in for whatever. Most likely, yeah.

It would have been whatever. You know how I know you're a glutton for punishment? How? When you were 12 and I first met you, you were thin in the Nutcracker.

Ballet shoes. You were in ballet shoes and you had a rat tail that was midway down your back. You had just let like your sister and your mom take over. Yeah, exactly. I was just told what to do. Whatever. Sure. You like it. So, so there we have it, Michael and Taylor like it. I'm pregnant. I'm going to title this episode something really wholesome and people are going to draw all the people in and then they're going to be like, what in the hell am I listening to? Let's play a game.

Go to my latest Instagram and tell us what you think we're having, boy or girl. And maybe who's ever right, we'll get a little DM from me, a little goodie from me, a little giveaway. Here we go. Games again.

Here we go. Play Jeopardy. It's my life, everybody. It's my life. Yeah. You know what? A game's fun. Guys, I hope you loved that episode. It's kind of all over the place, but you know. I'm going to go take a cold shower. Those are fun. Taylor's got to go beat his meat and Michael's got to go take a cold shower. I've got a closing question. Oh. Are you, so after this, are you going back to the pullout method or? So after this, are you going back to the pullout method or what is going on with you and your obsession with the pullout? I'm just worried about, you know, not what do you, what, what's the real question? This is a weird, what are you going through right now? What's going on? You've asked this three times throughout this

episode. That gives me anxiety. Are you doing the pullout method and you're nervous? No, in general, that's, I'm just saying it gives me anxiety. So here's what's going on, guys. He is having sex and doing the pullout method and he's feeling anxiety. So he wants me to subliminally tell him about the pullout method. Are you asking us to scientifically tell you definitively if the pullout method works?

Yes, exactly. Pretty much. So you can actually, you can have full intercourse and still maybe. Oh, look at the alarm. It's telling me we got to go. Sorry, Taylor. You'll have to find out next week. Wish I could give you the actually, you can have full intercourse and still maybe. Oh, look at the alarm. It's telling me we got to go. Sorry, Taylor. You'll have to find out next week.

Wish I could give you the answer, bud. But I think you're, I think you're dancing with the devil there. The only thing that's for sure is taxes and death. It's like playing Russian roulette. All right. See you next time, guys.
