Starting point is 00:00:40 A very smart cookie. And now Lauren Everts and Michael Bostic are bringing you along for the ride. Get ready for some major realness. Welcome to The Skinny Confidential, him and her. Well, well, well, do we have an episode for you? Welcome back to The Skinny Confidential, him and her show. Today is an exciting one. If you read the title of this episode, you can see and read that I am five months pregnant. Well, Michael thinks we're both pregnant, so I'll say we're
Starting point is 00:01:10 pregnant. And we tell Taylor, our producer on this episode live that we're pregnant because we hid this secret from everyone. And I mean everyone for five months. Outside of Mimi, Lauren's sister, who is a little spy and would obviously know when Lauren's pregnant because she's with us every day, and my best friend Weston, who's with us all the time as well, there was literally no one else outside of our doctors that knew or know that Lauren is pregnant. So the reason we wanted to reveal it this way on the show, which you'll hear in a minute with our producer Taylor, is just to show the level of impact that we had to go through, the level of secrecy that we had to go through to hide this, because this is somebody that we're with every single week, every day, recording in
Starting point is 00:01:52 the studio with guests, and he had no clue. Not the savviest crayon in the box, are we, Taylor? No, not the most observant, not the most woke person. A little concerning. Time to pull the crust out of your eyes, Taylor. You know, and I thought that when we did, as everyone will hear soon, when we surprised I thought that he was going to say, yeah, I knew I had a feeling. This guy, I mean, God, like Lauren said, he's not the sharpest pencil in the box. So how we've been hiding it, let's like get specific about it. I have been wearing talentless sweats for five months. Like I've been wearing a huge sweater. I've been wearing Michael's clothes,
Starting point is 00:02:29 his flannels. I've been doing ties around my waist. We've been like, like putting like these huge sweats on me and we've hit it. We hit it. Yeah. We made the decision early on that we were going to wait to tell people, have a little moment to ourselves, which you will all hear in a minute, the explanation, you know, during the episode, during the interview. But we wanted to jump on and do a little bit of an intro to give some context as to what you're about to hear. Because the episode starts off with Lorne and I messing with Taylor, letting him know that we are splitting ways, breaking up. And we felt that we couldn't just start the episode with that because it would confuse too many people. So what you're going to hear is a little bit of a prank
Starting point is 00:03:09 that we're playing on Taylor for the first time that we reveal that we're, like Lauren said, five months pregnant. And just so you guys understand our relationship with Taylor, we've known him since we were 12 years old. He went to middle school, high school, everything with us. He's a longtime friend. So we've been perpetually fucking with him since we were in middle school, which is like, it's full circle here. You know what I mean? And on a lighter note, I am so extremely excited to be having a baby with Lauren. I can't wait. It's like,
Starting point is 00:03:41 it brings me to tears. I'm so happy. You're crying. I'm about to cry. You cry every day. It's weird. It's harder to move me emotionally like this. Oh, you're going to cry now too. Babe, you're so cute when you cry. We're so excited. Babe, you've never cried in your life. So happy. You're crying every day now. Are you pregnant? Guys, I've been talking about it for a while about anchor babying Lauren. And I finally did. Listen, I saw you. I saw the trajectory of Skinny of skinny confidential and I said, holy shit, I better lock this thing down. A marriage isn't going to be enough. So I, I anchor babied her, locked her down. I'm not going to be out of your life for a long time now. I'm locked in. You, you always talk about this, but you, Michael and I met when
Starting point is 00:04:17 we were 12 and you said you knew you were going to marry me and we were going to have kids together at 12, which is wild. There's been very few things in my life that I'm absolutely certain of. You are one of them. I've always been certain about you. And so that's why it's emotional for me because it brings a full circle. I've been chasing this girl since I was 12 years old, since the moment I saw her. And now we're about to bring a beautiful child into this world. Like I said, it's an emotional thing. Let's hope the baby gets my nose. Let's hope it gets my hair. Let's hope that the baby also gets my winning personality. Listen, let's hope it gets most hair. Let's hope that the baby also gets my winning personality. Listen, let's hope it gets most of you because you're the best.
Starting point is 00:04:53 I could have your ass. Okay. Let's not get weird here. We're not telling gender yet. We're not telling gender yet. We're taking a moment for the gender thing. Yeah. So get ready to hear this episode with Taylor. And guys, I want to give some context here too. Some of you are going to hear his reaction. I'd be like, that's kind of a strange reaction. One, as everybody on this show knows, if you've been listening for a while, Taylor, yes, he is a strange bird. And honestly, I think he was just in such absolute shock and confusion. He didn't know how to process it. I could tell during the interview that he was completely flustered, but after, and he wanted me to mention this, and I think it is a service to mention it, that he called me and had very, very kind words. He forgot to call me.
Starting point is 00:05:31 No, he said to both of us. I'm just kidding, but he did. He said he loved us. Taylor, I'm waiting by the phone. I'm sure, Taylor, we love you too, and that he's so excited and so happy for us, but he just took a while to process it. Anyways, guys, you're about to hear the full conversation when we reveal this to Taylor and the full explanation as to why we waited five months to tell everybody. And if anyone's wondering, my baby will be calling Taylor Uncle Creepy, maybe Uncle Cucumber. I can't decide. I also, before we get into this episode, just want to acknowledge the audience because I'm so excited to bring the audience on this journey with me. I started this blog 10 years ago, Michael and I

Starting point is 00:08:24 This is the skinny confidential him and her Taylor. As you know, we wanted to record this podcast with you late at night. Cause you've been, you've been with us for a long time. And this is like important that we told you and we thought when we were going to tell you this, cause it's like kind of sad that it was on air. Yeah. So then everyone could be a part of it. And well, listen, we're were going to tell you this because it's like kind of sad that it was on air yeah so then everyone could be a part of it and well listen we're not gonna differences apart we're not gonna let this show end we're not gonna let it anything bad happen i don't know how to say it meanie like how how should you say it like you guys we've just been talking about this for a really long time and it's just
Starting point is 00:09:06 it's sad you know we're about to tell you Taylor I honestly have no clue well don't like think that you're
Starting point is 00:09:14 at fault Taylor he's not at fault Michael and I have decided to still work together but we're going to consciously uncouple I'm still coming up with a blank here like we're going to consciously uncouple.
Starting point is 00:09:27 I'm still coming up with a blank here. Like, we're going to take a break from each other. I think it'll be good for you guys. Am I going to replace Michael on the him and her show? No, like, as a couple, we're going to take a break. We're calling it quits for a while. Really? So you're back on the market then? No, we're being serious.
Starting point is 00:09:43 You thought he was going to be sad, but he's actually happy about it. Taylor, this is like... Now you guys can be wingmen together. He can get girls with you. I just feel that Michael and I need to take a little bit of space. I would like some space. It's going to be the first time in a long time. No, I just think that Weston's going to move out of the condo.
Starting point is 00:10:01 Michael's going to move into that condo. And I'm going to take over the house. And we're going to try to do the podcast together and we're going to try to be on friendly terms. And we thought the best way to tell you was on the podcast to gauge your reaction. Well, I'm a blank slate. I'm vanilla right now. I have no reaction. Plus I'm still, I'm, I'm a little awkward. I'm looking around. I'm still confused on what's happening. What's happening. I can't tell if this is a joke yet well i mean listen it's been a long fucking time coming we you know we're fighting here we do this it's too it's too much you know
Starting point is 00:10:31 they all said don't act like you didn't notice they all they all said like how do couples how are you going to make it last how are couples going to work together how are they going to run this empire together there's no way it's going to happen you stay together for the kids no we don't have kids in all seriousness we are just going to try to take a break from each other and see how it goes. It'll be a good TV show. He doesn't know what to do. He's freaking out. I'm being serious.
Starting point is 00:10:54 Are you okay? I'm okay. I'm completely fine. Okay, but like... Because at the end of the day, Michael's name's on my check, as he said last episode. Oh my God. So now that it's coming, now he realizes that he just drew a line in the sand and said he's on my team, as he said last episode. Oh my God. So now that it's, now that it's coming, now he realizes that he just drew a line in the sand
Starting point is 00:11:08 and said he's on my team. You know who daddy is, I guess. I'm just saying that there is, there's no sides in this. I'm going to be completely fine with it. It's been, after all these years, he finally admitted that he's on my team. Everybody should know that I knew both of them separately. Taylor, do you know that Michael's been cheating?
Starting point is 00:11:21 No, bullshit. No, he hasn't been cheating, but we are taking a break. And Taylor, I think that's really rude that you don't even ask me how I'm doing. Because I'm still yet to believe the joke. This isn't a joke. Michael is moving into Weston's house. Are they going to live there together? I can see that happen, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:39 Okay, well, we want to do a roundtable podcast about this because you think it's a joke, but we're being dead serious. So can you come over here and sit down with us? If we were making this up as like, just hypothetically, if this were to happen, number one, I could not see Michael and Weston living together right now in one bedroom at all. I don't think that that would happen. No, no, no. Weston's moving out.
Starting point is 00:11:58 Oh, okay. Okay. And then so you're going to get the whole place by yourself? No, he's got, well, he's going to have to figure his thing out. Who's going to take care of Boone when he throws up on the couch? Well, Boone's going to go with me. What? Probably Pixie will probably go with me too.
Starting point is 00:12:11 See, and just like that, she wants you back. Can we, can you come over and sit down so we can like actually talk about this? Okay, one second. What is this? Two is the one. what is this oh thank god you brought mints yeah they're good you sure that recording's still good yeah they build your saliva oh god it's really good to fight dry mouth tastes good too okay so you're wearing a parka it's 92 degrees out today no this is thin it's a military jacket let's cut here we are back where it all started
Starting point is 00:12:50 the four of us remember we all four started jordan was there too she's gone now jordan was there and she was awkwardly cropped out just because the way the camera was for those that have not been listening for a long time jordan's my my sister she was there early on but now really it's been the four of us for a very long time on this show. Me, me. It'll still be the four of us. We're just not going to live together. Yeah. It'll be Taylor and Michael and me and you.
Starting point is 00:13:14 Well, it'll be like the five of us now. I'll move in. Don't worry. Yeah, we'll be five, I guess. Wait, it will be the five of us. It'll be the five of us now. It'll be the five of us. Yeah. I'd be able to move in and take care of her. I'd in she wouldn't even know that you were gone yeah but what are we gonna do about the baby yeah oh my god shut the fuck up are you fucking serious are you serious
Starting point is 00:13:38 oh my god dude you are maybe you are maybe one of the dullest sons of bitches I've ever seen, man. Really? Dude, look at her. Why do you think I've been so tired lately? Oh my God. I thought you were taking your shirt off for a second. I was just like, whoa. You're like, fuck yeah, it's finally happening.
Starting point is 00:13:56 Guys. Oh my God. How did you miss this with literally 40 recordings? Yeah. Lauren, are you crying? Because I'm laughing so hard at Taylor. So listen. Wow. That's huge. So? Because I'm laughing so hard at Taylor. So listen. Wow.
Starting point is 00:14:06 That's huge. So now how do you feel knowing that it's five? Interesting. Well, wait, you look like you're, how long has this been going on? Well, so this is what I think. See, the reason I wanted the audience to hear this reaction is because this has not been an easy feat to pull off.
Starting point is 00:14:21 Lauren is currently five months pregnant. Looks like I'll have a kid in January. Oh my God. And you've been... And you've been with us every day. Every day.
Starting point is 00:14:32 And you've... And I've told you I'm tired. I've told you I'm hot. Turn on the air conditioning. I said, please turn on the air conditioning. You didn't listen. Today,
Starting point is 00:14:40 you yelled at me. You yelled at a pregnant woman. Today, you were like really taking it out on a pregnant woman. Today, you took it out on a pregnant woman. And then also, I'll say I can't understand how you were so selfish to not even know that I was drinking alcohol. Well, how would I have known? Well, I mean, number one, I didn't even know you were pregnant.
Starting point is 00:15:00 You mean not drinking alcohol? Not drinking alcohol. Oh. You didn't really pick. I don't even know if I even noticed that, to be honest. He was in his own alcohol haze. Well, because there were drinks on the table. You didn't notice that I gained a few LBs? You know what?
Starting point is 00:15:11 You know what's weird? And I swear to God, this is the weirdest thing ever. It's perception. Is I... This is actually going to... This sounds like I'm going to be a complete asshole. But to me, you were always your normal thin self until all of a sudden, boom, when you're pregnant.
Starting point is 00:15:24 Now, I see you in a completely different light i'm like well you're right you did gain some lbs like those normal really but it's weird she's fucking five months pregnant she's got a she's got a little swimmer she's got my seed in her gut oh he keeps calling her seed been there for a while you know um taylor you are literally i think the third person outside of a doctor to find out about this literally nobody knows. Parents, they're going to be mad. Parents, sorry. Listen, we kept it quiet. We could talk about why we kept it quiet. We wanted a moment to process and understand what the hell was going on. Or at least I needed that moment, Lauren. But I think Taylor needs a moment to process and understand.
Starting point is 00:16:00 Are you, because I feel like you're computing everything in the last minute. No, no, because I knew that this was somewhat going to happen sooner or later. It was only a matter of time because number one, Michael's baby obsessed. Yeah, he's obsessed. He's been trying. Every person that comes in here. And I always say, well, you've heard me say the same thing. I hate the baby convincing talk.
Starting point is 00:16:16 Everyone's like, you need to have a baby. You need to have a baby. It's so great. So great. I'm always like, oh, God, shut up. I've been talking about anchor babying her for a while. You haven't. Yeah, you haven't. And that's why I know that one. I know always like, oh, God, shut up. I've been talking about anchor babying her for a while. You haven't. Yeah, you haven't.
Starting point is 00:16:25 And that's why I know that she went off birth control. No, I went off birth control because I wanted to give my hormones a break after nine years. I didn't know I was going to get pregnant. No, I know it wasn't because of that. I know that you went off. This was very quick how we got pregnant. Like it was like I didn't know it was going to happen. Listen, here was the plan, guys.
Starting point is 00:16:44 And I always say on the show, if you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans. You know, when Lauren and I recently, we took off and we went to Europe for like three weeks is the only vacation we're really doing this year. It was done. And my plan being the dumb son of a bitch that I am. I was like, okay, I'm going to take my wife over there. I'm going to have a lot of sex. I'm going to anchor baby here, come back. She'd be ready to go. But the problem is, is I went out and I had too many tequilas and too many margaritas and I got a little frisky and a little irresponsible and boom, I anchor baby her. And so what it did was it didn't, you know, we went on this great vacation where we'll be drinking ourselves to sleep every night and running around.
Starting point is 00:17:21 But she couldn't enjoy it. So I had to basically do the drinking for two for the whole time. Do you want to know? So it wasn't, so it was not a pullout baby. This was a real, real legit. I don't think you can do a pullout baby. Yeah. Are you kidding me?
Starting point is 00:17:34 Let's just say this. Do you know what's going on in Taylor's mind right now? He's a little freaked out. He's wondering, he's wondering, he's like, shit, is this guy going to be able to keep the momentum, running this company, let it keep going? Is he going to get stuck? Is he going to continue to sign my gonna continue to be one of those guys that
Starting point is 00:17:45 takes his foot off the pedal that was my biggest concern i've told you both that is that my concern is that once the baby comes in michael's gonna be like okay guess what i'm a dad now he's gonna move up in the hills like a white picket fence and just be like you know all i want to do all i care about is the sunset and raising little is it a boy or girl we're not can we say the code name no yeah we know we uh no we're not doing code names or girl? Can we say the code name? No. Yeah, we, no, we, eh. No, we're not doing code names.
Starting point is 00:18:09 Listen, nobody's going to get the code name. Just don't name it something stupid. No, we have a code name. Okay, wait. After something. But hold on. So that's his concern is that he thinks that my foot's going to go off the pedal. I'm going to stop. Everyone's going to give up.
Starting point is 00:18:19 So he's thinking about himself. No, and you, that you're just going to go, well, you know what? Okay, now then the same thing. You're going to be like, you're going to move into a shack on the beach and just like enjoy for the last night five months have i slowed down or sped up no no you have been a nightmare my inbox like never ends listen you got a sober lauren here it's a it's a dangerous don't fuck she's so used to being hung over you know like two nights a week don't fuck with a sober lauren i think an introduction of a baby into someone's life changes them so you you both, as you exist now, are not going to be the exact same people once the baby's born.
Starting point is 00:18:50 Okay. You're more going to metal shows. You may just stop drinking. You may stop drinking completely. Who knows? Okay. I'll still go to metal shows. I'm praying that will never happen.
Starting point is 00:18:58 Yeah, that's not going to happen. I will still go to metal shows. I like my life. I just need to... Wait, Taylor, I want to know about you as a kid. Let's have a story and bring it full circle what's a good taylor at skyline elementary i remember when i was in high school there was a time that i thought i might have almost got a girl pregnant and that was
Starting point is 00:19:14 fucking scary we'll go there really quick that was terrifying it was horrible okay luckily eventually she did not have a baby she pulled the old i'm pregnant on you when you tried to break up with her oh i, I believed it to the, she was like, how much money do you have? Like, can we move into the, into the, what was it? Into the countryside
Starting point is 00:19:31 and we can get a little, like a cottage and we can just raise the family together. Where the fuck is the countryside in San Diego? Well, I think she meant somewhere else other than that, but that was scary.
Starting point is 00:19:39 Was this pre or post rat tail? Well, this was in high school. Mid rat tail? I definitely was not getting girls pregnant when I was, what was it? Seven years old. You know you know what i'm watching this guy he's flustered right now yeah he's flustered he's flustered he doesn't he's his mind's going in a million places hold on let's back up just for the audience and for some context so i did not know i was pregnant for seven weeks okay no fucking idea what about that mind body connection?
Starting point is 00:20:12 I had no idea I was pregnant. Mimi was like, you should take a pregnancy test. You're having sex without a condom. I'm like, there's no way that I got pregnant this quickly after going off birth control. Like it's good. Takes a minute for your body to adjust. Thank God one of us was responsible. Yeah. Thank God. Cause I would have not taken that pregnancy test. So we were at this little hole in the wall and we were doing lunch and I, I literally was on my Instagram account, checking my Instagram and I was like, Oh, I should take that pregnancy test. That's in my briefcase. So I pulled it out and it was one of the tests that says pregnant, not pregnant. Now you should note that three weeks earlier, I had taken a pregnancy test that was the line test and it showed up, in my opinion, it showed up negative. I'm not sure if I read it wrong, but if you guys are doing those line tests, I would not recommend
Starting point is 00:20:56 it. I would do a pregnant, not pregnant. There's a difference. Anyways, so I'm in this little hole in the wall. I take the pregnancy test and lo and behold, it says pregnant. Now, Taylor, this is the day before we were supposed to go to a wedding in Cabo. So now I'll tell you my perspective. I'm sitting there. I had caprese salad. I had some melon prosciutto and I was eating all of it. And I was getting irritated because I was like, why is she not enjoying this meal with me? And she looked like she'd just seen a ghost. So she left me in the restaurant, but I just sat there and finished my meal. And the next day we went to Cabo and- Didn't tell him. I had no idea still.
Starting point is 00:21:32 And in my fashion, I started, you know, I let loose in Cabo. I was having shots at the bar with my friends, running around, wondering why Lauren was being such a downer. This motherfucker is grabbing my tits in bed in the middle of the night so hard. He was grabbing them like a fucking watermelon. And at this point, my boobs are really swollen. So I'm like, OK, I need to tell Michael, but I need to tell him in a way that's strategic and cute.
Starting point is 00:21:55 I can't just tell him. I need to wait. So I wait three days to tell him. Finally, I decide with the butler that's at Palmia to create this whole brunch for him. And on the brunch, I ask for a Beauty and the Beast dome. You know, those domes that you pull off. It was kind of just a breakfast, tin breakfast tray. But let's like a room service tray cover.
Starting point is 00:22:14 It was. It was. Let's not romanticize it. Let's call it how it is. Yeah, come on. Just call it what it was. It was a Beauty and the Beast dome. I put flowers all over the plate and then they left. Michael
Starting point is 00:22:25 sits down. He's grabbing my boobs. He's drinking his champagne at 10 in the morning. Everything's great. I was in fucking Cabo, man. He's in Cabo mode. I'm sitting there freaking out. He opens the dome. Not one. Three positive pregnancy
Starting point is 00:22:42 tests because it was almost like she still didn't believe it. And then I had to, I was you know I had a million things going. Then I started crying. It was a whole weird moment. It's a weird thing, man. It's a weird thing. All of a sudden, perspective changes a little bit. I don't want to be one of those weird guys, but all of a sudden I'm interested in things I was never interested in before. I'm looking at things. I don't know. It's a weird shift. But Taylor's worried because he thinks, oh shit, this is going to slow this guy down. I actually think it's going to make me speed up. Yeah, it could.
Starting point is 00:23:08 But again, to be determined on that. If someone ever handed me that, I would probably just pass out. Well, yeah, but you're not in the same situation, right? If I was happily married and all that stuff, yeah, I guess it would be completely different. So then we decided at that moment to hide the pregnancy for five months. We just decided that we needed a moment to ourself. So the last five months that everyone's been watching my Instagram story and they've seen any alcohol, don't come at me on Instagram.
Starting point is 00:23:36 I haven't drank it. I have. I did. Michael has. I don't want 500 pieces of advice of what I've done wrong in the last five months. I just wanted to blissfully enjoy it with my husband. We have not told our family. We decided to tell you and Mimi on air.
Starting point is 00:23:53 Well, we couldn't avoid it for me. Mimi's like a fucking spy. She's always around the house sneaking around. I track her period. So I was like always concerned. But that's another story. Honestly, now I'm surprised that I didn't notice at all. Like at all like at all
Starting point is 00:24:05 like you know even on even like the slightest bit the funny thing is is like we spent so much time with you in the studio in close quarters and think about it we guess there's been since cabo and over the last five months yeah done a pretty good job i think the wool has been like my i was like uh the wool what is it the wool i feel like the wool you thought you were a woke person yeah at this point though it's getting getting too much. Now I'm like, oh, how did I not know this? To be honest, it's interesting.
Starting point is 00:24:28 You know what I want to know if anyone's ever done? I wonder if there's ever been a woman who's been pregnant and has gone the whole basically nine months and just denied that she was pregnant
Starting point is 00:24:36 and was always just like, how dare you say, what are you trying to say that I'm like overweight or something? I think you should tread lightly here with talking about women's weight.
Starting point is 00:24:43 I'm pushing it right now, though. Like five months. You look different. No, five. You can't you can't push it for me. I don't know. Everyone's different. Like, I understand that for me.
Starting point is 00:24:54 Like, I'm hot. I've been wearing sweatpants for the last five months. Like, it's time for me to let my freak flag fly and put on like a tight black dress. Like, that's going to be my moment. You should accentuate those curves the baby curves i mean we've never done this before we've already been reading all these baby books okay i mean they kind of they don't tell you i make him read them and just get me the spark notes but you know we've never done this and so i was like okay let's just not tell
Starting point is 00:25:17 anybody for five months i and now people are i think people are gonna be kind of i guess because i'm seeing other people like they're announcing a lot earlier and I guess maybe this is just not like a normal thing to do. I could see why, because it's been kind of towards the last month, it's been pretty difficult to hide. I mean, we've been kind of keeping her in like a shelter away from everybody. Big, big clothing, sweatshirts, sweatsuits. Like the past week or two, I feel like it's been really hard since it got so hot. I came into the office the other day and you were like, yo. Yeah, you're wearing like a white t-shirt. I'm like, no, you got to go back into your car and put on a sweater. Yeah. From a practical standpoint, though, obviously, like we like to
Starting point is 00:25:53 give, let's just give some value here. You know, I think it was really important for Lauren and I to take some time to figure out this process. One, it took us three visits to three different doctors to find someone that Lauren liked. It's taken us multiple times to get the proper research to know what tests we want to do, what we don't want to do, what information we want to have, what we don't want to have, all the different appointments. And so we wanted to go through that process with medical experts and with ourselves without having 50 different voices from our families and friends coming in, as well as, and I love the audience, but as well as all of the different listeners and audience and readers, like now
Starting point is 00:26:27 we're at this point. No, I want advice. I want people's advice, but I need, I am the type of person where I have to like throw myself into something and do it on my own and create my own, my own experience and journey. I don't want to go look at what everyone else is doing. I just want to see how I'm going to navigate it. And of course, I'll take everyone's opinions and I'm happy to, you know, hear what they have to say. But at the end of the day, I'm going to do what's best for me and Michael and the baby. And I think that we've had a really nice time for five months just being together. Like we do the same thing every night. Michael's been making me this like prenatal green smoothie. He got all the ingredients for it. We picked like the prenatals I want to take.
Starting point is 00:27:08 We've been going to the doctor. We found this amazing doctor. We just have really tried to just do things on our own terms and not sort of look to all this outside noise. Quick break to tell you about one of my favorite pregnancy cravings. You've seen me talk about it on my Instagram stories, the blog, and even heard about it on the podcast, Smart Sweets. Okay. So this is a little tip to kick sugar. They have all the nostalgic flavors, gummy bears, peach rings, sour blast buddies, and sweet fish, but there's no added sugar, artificial colors, or artificial ingredients. What I love about them
Starting point is 00:27:41 personally is that there's 33 grams of carbs per bag, but then there's 28 grams of fiber. So you end up only getting five carbs per bag. And it's like a big bag, you guys. And there's three grams of sugar per bag, which we love, and 80 to 90 calories per bag. So the other night, Michael and I went with our friend Weston to see the movie Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. And I stacked my handbag with Smart Sweets. I personally am a huge fan of the sour gummies. So they were like, I probably brought like three bags. They were gone. Like during the movie, everyone was eating them. Weston loved them. He didn't even know the difference. Like they taste exactly like sour gummies, which is ideal. So you can put them in
Starting point is 00:28:21 your bag when you go to the movies. We also brought them on vacation Michael caught me a couple times eating them at 1 a.m In the morning because when you're pregnant sometimes you wake up in the middle of the night with a random craving And these were just like hitting the spot for me I'm also a fan of this brand because it's a young female founder and I mean what's better than that? So you probably want to run to grab these and we have a code for you Use code skinny 15 for 15 off your order of $30 or more. All you have to do is go to smartsuites.com and use code SKINNY15 for 15% off. They ship all throughout the US and Canada. My opinion, start with the Sour Blast Buddies, but also put in some fruity gummies. And if you're a
Starting point is 00:29:02 featuring fan, I mean, you got to do this. Yeah. What I was saying is like, of course we welcome the advice, but in the beginning, we just needed a moment to process and disconnect. And then that moment happened to turn into five months. You should talk to my sister. She's, she works in labor, labor and delivery. My aunt worked in was, I think was a labor and delivery nurse for 35 years, maybe a little bit longer. My sister has been doing it for the last five years or something. So she could probably, again, I'm sure everyone's told you all about it, but I'm sure. I haven't told anyone who has told me. Oh yeah, you're right. Nobody's told us anything.
Starting point is 00:29:32 Oh, well, cause you were saying like people are going to give advice for some reason that process to me as people were. What happened is we've seen friends and family go through the process and we just wanted a moment of kind of like quiet silence process to enjoy the moment and honestly it's made our relationship i think better yeah i think it's made our relationship better because i feel like you're nicer to me now that i'm carrying my seed yeah you can we stop you guys it's honestly gross no i it's like i have to hear about your seed one more time it's so i'm gonna be ill she's carrying the torch for future children michael has been really happy, though.
Starting point is 00:30:06 The night... I started crying. Every day when I see you, you're like smiling and shit. I would have been crying, but for a completely different reason. Yeah, well, you know what? It takes a lot to kind of move me in that kind of way. It actually brings me to tears. It's a weird thing, man.
Starting point is 00:30:18 I don't know how to explain it. He has been happier lately, hasn't he? Yeah, it's like every single day, whenever something negative is happening, that usually he'd be freaking out and panicked. He has a better attitude about it. Yeah, that's true. So I have one quick question.
Starting point is 00:30:30 Please carry this on once the baby's born. Yeah, please. What was the first indication that you thought you might be pregnant? For instance, going from the thought of, oh, I'm not pregnant too, I'm taking a pregnancy test. Those are kind of dramatic, different mentalities. So what made you get to that part where you wanted to do that?
Starting point is 00:30:47 Mimi put the pregnancy test in my briefcase. I would not have taken it if it weren't for me. So Mimi, why did you, what made you do that? Um, well I track Lauren's period on this app because right when she's PMSing, it's usually like when I try and go out of town or something. Well, how do you track her? But do you like dig through the trash? It's fucking weird, man. I don't know if there's a normal thing between scissors but it's i put it in the calendar i invite michael it's a secret it's red actually she does she sent me indicators she's like hey i think lauren's p ain't messing right now so watch out she'll like send me those kind of notifications it's like i'm a good friend you know it's like back in the neighborhood like the neighborhood
Starting point is 00:31:17 kid run like he sends a signal and sends a carrier pigeon up like that's what happens she sends a signal says watch out there's a dicey period here well maybe she was doing it because i know that there is i think it's called like forecasting or something where you try to you you have you deflower no you can't deflower because she wasn't a virgin ovulating yeah you ovulating schedule and then you try to say okay like look we're gonna have all this unprotected you think if you're a producer you know how to talk into the mic sorry so what i was saying is is i think have that what did you ever even go by that at all yes because i was tracking it and lauren would also like subtly mentioned to me when they were having sex. And so I'd also write that down. You two are weird, man. This is like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:31:52 I don't, you know, it is even weirder. She probably has a checklist, you know, like the, whenever someone's like locked in a prison cell, they do the little tally marks with the fives on the wall. She has a book somewhere where she's probably like, okay, like they did it again. The one day when they had the baby, I know for certain that they had sex that night and the next morning and I'm like,
Starting point is 00:32:09 that's the day that it happened. No, that wasn't the day. That wasn't? No, the day that the baby... A little twofer did one in the night, one in the morning. It's since everyone like
Starting point is 00:32:15 really is dying to know. The day the baby was conceived was Mimi, me, Michael, and Chris Beaton, our friend who married us, went to El Compadre
Starting point is 00:32:24 Mexican restaurant and got drunk off margaritas. You and I got drunk. Everyone else was like sober. No, we went to El Coyote. Oh, El Coyote. El Coyote. And we got drunk off margaritas. And then we came home and we had great sex to Queen.
Starting point is 00:32:36 And I went home and watched Netflix. It was right around the time that movie was out. Remember when the Queen movie came out? El Coyote. Is that the one where they were dancing in the bar and the girls? Isn't it El Coyote? It doesn't ring a bell. I need a bit more context. Sorry. Coyote. Is that the one with, where they were dancing on the bar and the girls? Isn't it El Coyote? Doesn't ring a bell. I need a bit more context.
Starting point is 00:32:48 Coyote Ugly. Nevermind. Yeah, I don't think anybody was dancing on the bar. It wasn't Coyote Ugly. Yeah, so that was when the baby was conceived. But I don't know if I wrote that one down. You should write it down now. So here's the deal.
Starting point is 00:33:00 I want you out of our sex schedule. I want you completely out. I don't want you to do it. Just get out of it. How's the sex now that you guys are pregnant you don't know anything about the positions they're doing do you no please tell me now should we talk about that the sex now the sex now i think it's pretty good it's like a whole new world you know it's like a juicy how are the boobs well those are i mean they're huge they're i don't even know where to begin
Starting point is 00:33:19 you're not gonna you can't damage the baby right you're not gonna like listen i'll tell you tell the truth michael a guy thing to say. Tell the truth, Michael. Tell the truth. For women and men listening, it's a strange thing for a man that's with someone for the first time that's pregnant. Because those thoughts
Starting point is 00:33:33 go through your head. You're like, what's going on here? Michael, tell the truth. I mean, that thing gets in there. Michael thought. I don't know where it's positioned. Michael thought, you guys. He thought his dick
Starting point is 00:33:43 was going to touch the baby's head. You know, I've learned now that that's probably not happening but it is something that it's it's a worrisome thing yeah but still even if it doesn't touch them there's still that force of the body that's what he said to rushing or sorry thrusting that as a as a kid it may grow older and have these like flashbacks of you know like being in the room and Do you have those? And just that... Do you still think about that? I read this thing where some guys say, hey, they're not going to be turned on.
Starting point is 00:34:10 I'm probably more turned on now that... Is that weird? I don't know. Just more attractive. Now that what? Now that she's got my seed. When I told you, you loved it. Let's play a drinking game.
Starting point is 00:34:22 Every time Michael talks about his seed, let's take a shot. Please, I can't. She's got the pregnancy game. Every time Michael talks about his seed, let's take a shot. Please, I can't. She's got the pregnancy glow. Okay. It is the pregnancy glow. Thanks. You asked me if I could tell I was pregnant and I could not tell for seven weeks.
Starting point is 00:34:34 However, looking back on those seven weeks, there was one day that I was at the DP Hugh house and I was absolutely starving. And I came home and ate the entire kitchen and fell asleep. So that's the only indication that looking back that I had that I was pregnant. I thought something was weird today, actually, when you're eating that weird ass sandwich. Yeah. No, there was also when we were in New York at the polo bar and you were looking so forward to having that hamburger and we got there and you couldn't eat it. I had a lot of aversions. Yeah. A lot of aversions. She's like, what are some of your aversions? You don't like red meat right now.
Starting point is 00:35:07 I hate red meat and red meat grosses me out. I hate fish. You liked bagels at first. I liked bagels, but now I don't. I'm over that. Everything just kind of grosses me out. I like really simple foods. I love sandwiches. I love sourdough toast. That sandwich earlier had all sorts of shit on there. Don't say it's simple. It was pepperoncinis and avocado. What's a pepperoncini? Cram banana pepper? Let's not try to get her to pronounce something now. It's a cousin of the pepper.
Starting point is 00:35:35 Listen, I've been having to carry the show. Sometimes her brain gets a little scrambled because she's got a pregnancy brain. So I've had to be on my game. You yelled at a pregnant person today. I didn't know. Yes, in a way way but also technically no because i was unaware of it you yelled at a pregnant woman violently violently yelled you screamed at a pregnant person so how are you gonna tell your parents i'm don't are you not gonna do that thing that's stupid we can talk i'll tell you we could talk because i want to know what taylor thinks the stupid thing is so what i
Starting point is 00:36:00 was gonna say is on instagram or i guess it's not stupid because now there's a lot of people that are gonna go immediately going i just fucking did this where there's, or I guess it's not stupid because now there's a lot of people that are going to go immediately going, I just fucking did this. Where there's like some sort of, it's like in a box or something and it's like blue balloons for the boy or pink balloons for the girl. That's a gender reveal, not a pregnancy announcement.
Starting point is 00:36:18 It's the same thing. No, here, listen, because by the time this airs, because listen guys, everyone that's listening to this on Tuesday because we release on Tuesday, we're telling our family on Sunday. So this is weird. I'm like in the future. This is like some Terminator 2 shit.
Starting point is 00:36:30 You know, we're telling our family on Sunday. Today is Tuesday. So now at this point, our family knows. That's kind of like some Inception stuff. And on Sunday, we hired a plane to fly around in the air with a sign that says, Baby Bossik 2020. Because, you know, my dad loves aviation.
Starting point is 00:36:48 And the way Lauren and I like to do things is not say anything for five months and then fly a giant plane in the sky for the entire city to see. It's like, we don't want any attention and then, like, give us all the attention. What if they don't even see it? They will. They'll be like, look up. And he's like, don't tell me what to do. No, I hired a 30
Starting point is 00:37:04 minute window that it's going to be just flying around for 30 minutes. Taylor, here's what we're doing. We're like, look up. And he's like, don't tell me what to do. No, I hired a 30 minute window that it's going to be just flying around for 30 minutes. Taylor, here's what we're doing. We're celebrating Lisa's birthday. I put that in quotes. His Michael's mom at I'll say my dad's restaurant. So my dad and Julie, my stepmom will already be there. Michael's whole family's coming to I'll say to celebrate. Hopefully you can come to want to come Sunday.
Starting point is 00:37:21 That's why you kept asking. I kept asking you to come. So out Michael's going to say he has a present for his mother and we're all going to walk outside for the present.
Starting point is 00:37:31 And then we're going to say, look up, simultaneously, I want trays of champagne being passed. I had a cake made by Betchen Cakes. She's amazing.
Starting point is 00:37:40 And she's made a Barbie cake of Michael's mother as grandma with the baby and And it says, happy birthday, glamour. Then as that's happening, I had my dad's favorite tequila bottle, Gary, Michael's father's favorite gin bottle, and then Michael's mother's favorite champagne bottle completely crystallized with grandpa, glamour, and grams and clamps. And they're going to get
Starting point is 00:38:04 their bottles. And it're going to get their bottles and it's going to be like this whole thing. You know what's going to be really shitty? If this doesn't go off the way we're planning it right now. No, it has to. And then we'll have to edit this podcast because we're doing this before this has even happened. I'm telling you, this is some inception shit right here.
Starting point is 00:38:18 But yeah, man. So no, we're not doing like a clown popping out of a box with some balloons. We're flying a plane. Your dad's going to cry. I think. Easily. Don't you think her dad yeah i think your mom's gonna cry brad i think he knows he's been doing this weird thing where he hugs me i don't know if he's just gotten a little bit more like touchy and feely as he's getting older you know what he knows i have a feeling that he probably does if you think about it i mean i didn't know but that doesn't really count for
Starting point is 00:38:42 much yeah that's so for this i guarantee you has anybody else hinted? Do you think anybody else knows? That's a good question. Does anybody else know? My audience, I don't think they know because not one person has messaged me, but my boobs did look so big in Cabo and people thought I got a new boob job. Surprise. It's not a new boob job. I'm pregnant and can't have margaritas in Cabo. So when you get pregnant, the tits just grow huge i've learned a lot about the female anatomy probably things i shouldn't know like what uh i don't know i mean like listen we're looking in uteruses we're looking around at stuff we're looking at placentas we're i want to eat my placenta okay i don't know about that you know are you gonna make a pancake out of it maybe like pill form some french you know what
Starting point is 00:39:22 actually lauren i'll have to look into that for you. I'll research. You do what you want. Yeah, why do you care? What is the process of eating the placenta again? You take it out and you fry it up like a steak. No, you don't. I wouldn't do it that way. I would take it up, ground it into powder, and put it in my smoothie. Is there somebody that specializes in that?
Starting point is 00:39:36 Yeah. Or is it for health reasons? We should have them on the podcast. Love a niche. What is it? Listen, this is going to be controversial. The doctor told me that there has not been any scientific data that shows that there's a health benefit.
Starting point is 00:39:46 They say that in sub-Saharan Africa, where food was scarce in the past, people did it as a protein source, which makes sense. But they say there could be a mental boost for it. So I don't know. Audience is probably going to come in and say a million things about that. But that's what the doc, that's literally what the doctor told me. Listen, bitch, I'm going to mix that shit with my inulin and four sigmatic and my frother and pour it in my coffee.
Starting point is 00:40:04 Okay. Like I said, if you want to do it, do it. But that's what Taylor is. If you're asking, I won't be using your frother. Should I trick Taylor into eating my placenta? I don't want him eating your placenta. That's a little strange. I mean, like I said before, will you try it?
Starting point is 00:40:16 As long as it's not celery, I'll eat anything. Michael, will you try her breast milk? Yes. I never say never. Yeah, you'll try. I wonder what breast milk really tastes like. If we're just being honest. A little sour. Do you want to try it? No, I don't. I'm not saying I'm curious. I wish I never say never. Yeah, you'll try it. I wonder what breast milk really tastes like, if we're just being honest. It's a little sour.
Starting point is 00:40:26 Do you want to try it? No, I'm not saying I'm curious. I wish I could say it later. You just said you're curious. I wish I could say it would be the first time that I've tried breast milk. I'm more or less thinking about it, not actually like, do I want to try it? Do you want to go for breast milk lattes with me? Make like a breast milk shot of like with vodka.
Starting point is 00:40:39 I'm going to be sick. We'll give you some. I wish I could say this was the first time that I'll be trying breast milk, but I've actually tried it before. Have you ever sucked on a girl's tit before and have some milk accidentally squirt in the mouth? I have not. What?
Starting point is 00:40:51 That's not, that was not the circumstance. Are you talking about that milk that you fucked on the boat? No. Who did you do that to? No, no. I'm just more or less. You got some weird. You got, you got it.
Starting point is 00:41:01 You need some help. Has that happened to you? Taylor, by the way, I can see that you've looked at my tits four times because the reflection over there shows me and you're curious. No, no, I'm just looking. I'm looking into the dark sunset. What are you doing with my pregnant wife, man? Hey, right now, it's weird now.
Starting point is 00:41:16 That's weird, man. No, I can't do it. Damn it. Yeah, caught it. If she wasn't pregnant, it was fair game. Imagine if you did that and it was like, surprise, guess what? And it's not Michael's the dad. And I'm like,
Starting point is 00:41:26 it's me. Don't worry. Everyone would be like, Oh God. Honestly, that's the one thing that I think I wouldn't be able to stay on this earth. Like, listen,
Starting point is 00:41:34 I'm a tough, I'm a tough son of a bitch. You put me through some hardships. I'll get through it. But I think if that happens, you might as well just call it curtains for me. Just call it quits. I won't stick around on this earth much longer.
Starting point is 00:41:43 Closing time. Cue closing time. Put the song in here right now. I don't, honestly. I won't stick around on this earth much longer. Closing time. Cue closing time. Put this song in here right now. Honestly, I don't even know if anybody would... They would go like, what? No. No one would believe it. Why are you putting yourself in all this thinking about it? We'd have to really sell it.
Starting point is 00:41:57 Really sell it. Do you and Lauren flirt when no one's looking? What's happening? No, we're not. I'm just a naturally flirtatious guy. There would be a very large wave of disappointment literally a lot of sighs like yeah okay so so another thing that we did that i think is unique is that a lot of people announce on instagram like in a picture and instead of doing something with me and michael i wanted to do something with just me and the baby. So, do you... Have you ever seen the Faye Dunaway shot at the Beverly
Starting point is 00:42:28 Hills Hotel? No. Is it one of those weird ones where it's always like the one person and it's like the maternity where the belly's out and it's kind of like weirdly sexual? You know like when you go downstairs to the place where you have breakfast sometimes in the fountain room? Yeah. And you know that picture right across where there's the woman and she's sitting in the chair
Starting point is 00:42:44 out by the pool and she's got like the oscar award no with the newspapers do you not pay attention to anything it's like iconic photo that no every time i go there i look at it you're like talking to a wall yeah i've never seen that it's time to go we'll show you open your eyes man i know i don't know well never mind let's skip over this part i want to explain to him so we recreated the beverly hills iconic Faye Dunaway moment. You'll have to Google it. Exactly the same. We shot in the same location, same everything.
Starting point is 00:43:11 But I'm pregnant. And so that's how I am announcing it at the Beverly Hills Hotel, which is fitting because we're having the shower there. So wait, am I not supposed to tell anybody, correct? No. I guess now because of this is out people know surprise weird inception right previously i won't tell anybody till this but it's gonna be it's exciting but monday people will know okay monday everybody you're gonna come on sunday oh yeah yeah it's gonna happen on sunday but monday everybody's gonna be everyone's reaction is gonna be i interesting to see what's
Starting point is 00:43:40 going on with this what do you mean i honestly for honestly, for me, like I said, like I've said prior, I've, it's been like somewhat of a fear of mine because- So he's flustered. Yeah, well, just because like I've said, I always like, you two are both so progressive on like both your careers right now. So it's always been like a fear of mine that,
Starting point is 00:44:00 like I said, it would sidetrack both of you because of course it is something that, it's like a beautiful creation. And to dedicate time to that, I always thought that maybe you would kind of take time off from the momentum that you guys have both currently have, but I guess not. So I could be wrong. Listen, you can't, like I said, you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans. And I don't want to jump in to parenthood, fatherhood and say, oh, no problem. We're going to be able to get it. I don't know yet. All I know is that this hasn't decreased either of our drive. It has probably increased. I know me personally,
Starting point is 00:44:29 it's increased my drive because now not only do I want to provide for Lauren and myself, but I'm thinking about this other entity that's not here yet that I want to really, really provide for. And also, listen, just being selfish. I know some people like, maybe it's different for others, but I know for me, like, and maybe I don't talk enough about this on the show. Ambition is a real thing. And there's, and there's, it's one thing that I think that you can't measure scientifically, but some people have a fucking shitload of it. And some people are, some people don't, and there's not one right or wrong way. Like some people, you know, a certain level of accomplishment, they're happy with that. It drives them. You can be very happy people for some people, me included. I need to keep going.
Starting point is 00:45:11 Like I've said this multiple times on the show. I'm like a dog chasing a car. If I caught it, I wouldn't know what to do with it. There's not an end goal for me. I believe a true, like what it really makes an entrepreneur is that no matter what you always need to be building something. It's in my DNA. I cannot be doing something. I'll be an unhappy person. So listen, I'm very excited about this kid. I hope I can be a great father. I know Lauren's gonna be a great mother, but I don't think I can be a happy individual if it slows my growth and ambition. That's still going to be there, but who knows? Maybe I come back in three or four months and say, hey guys, I got a kid and I'm not anymore, but I just know what's in my DNA. And I know how I am. And I've
Starting point is 00:45:47 never been able to slow down. And it's like I said, it's not because there's some goal. It's not because there's some monetary vision that I'm trying to get to. It's because all I want to do in this life is build and progress and achieve. And it's just it's just in my DNA. So I don't think you need to worry. Lauren, do you feel the same way? I mean, nothing's stopping. If I'm not using anything as an excuse, I have a vision and I need to execute it. I can't live if I don't execute what's in my head,
Starting point is 00:46:15 in my vision. I can't live. But here's my thing, too, is I don't look at the two as the same. Why can't I have a fucking bomb ass career and build an empire and build a huge team and execute on all the shit I want to execute on and be a mother? Like, who made up this fucking rule where you can only like half ass each thing? Like, I like I am like the the queen of figuring it out. I always try to find ways to make it happen.
Starting point is 00:46:47 And, you know, I think that I'm going to be able to do both. Like, of course. And I've never been a mother. So I don't know if I'm speaking out of turn. This is just how I feel right now. You know, Mimi, when you asked me earlier, like, oh, I'm pretty zenned out now. It's because I know that this is about to get really fucking hard because it's always been hard.
Starting point is 00:47:03 Everything that we've been doing has been a struggle. It's been hard. This is not going to make it easier. It's going to make it way harder, but that's what I'm trying to say. That's the stuff that gets me going. That's, it's a new, it's an, it's a new, exciting challenge, but who knows why I love this podcast and why I love being able to document everything that we've been doing for the last three years. If you go back to 2016, you can hear all those conversations. So maybe, who knows, maybe in one year from now, you could play this back and be like, man, that guy was off. Or maybe you're going to be like, huh, didn't even scratch the potential. Speaking of new additions to the household, there is a partner of ours that we love so much because they're always adding new additions to our household. And that is Thrive Market. Guys,
Starting point is 00:47:41 we've been talking about them for a long time. Get the wax out of your ears and pay attention. Since I've been preg, I've been really, really looking into what I'm eating. I've been even gnarlier than normal. So this is insane when I have Thrive Market at my fingertips. Like I wanted to do a lot of nuts because I didn't want like an allergy.
Starting point is 00:48:01 So I did their raw cashews. I also ordered a bunch of their organic coconut milk. So I have healthy fats in my coffee. And then I've been craving dates, which you guys know is like no other. And I stuffed them with Thrive Market's raw almond butter. So these three things, also make sure you get their dates, actually four things, are my jam. We've said it before. We'll say it again. Guys, if you're looking to save some money, create some efficiency, have the best ingredients because they source all the best ingredients, go to thrivemarket.com. Lauren doesn't even know this. I actually just
Starting point is 00:48:34 got done, just placed about $170 item. I was hungry. Shouldn't have been shopping. Got chocolate bars, got snacks. Didn't get those peanut butter pretzels. Got the pretzels that I like, those chips. Got some of those. Don't shop when you're hungry. Shop when you're not, because I did some damage. Did you get me dates? I did not get the dates. This was more of a personal supply run for myself. And since we're on the topic, they do have a section dedicated to babies and kids. This is so insane if you're a mom. I mean, to just be able to go in there and click babies and kids and have everything from lunchboxes to bath and body to diapering to feeding accessories. I mean, the sky is the limit, guys.

And you should also know that I have a favorites page and make sure you get the dates with the raw almond butter. I'm telling you, it's been a craving of mine. You will become obsessed. One thing I want to say really quickly also, because I don't want you to think that you having a baby, did I mean that you were going to be unable to do that? More or less, I was just saying that when you have a new kid introduced,
Starting point is 00:49:51 or when you have a kid introduced in the world, paths change and things that for one point in your life seemed important end up not being important to you, or just your perception of everything changes. And that's what I mean, is more or less, maybe you're like, okay, well, maybe I don't want to do this anymore. Maybe now my passion's shifted. And it's related to that, not so much that you wouldn't be able to have like a, a, a still a new career or a progressing career with a baby. Sure. I think some things maybe get, may get completely uninteresting, but I just know like at the core, I don't think that'll take away from the drive to build and achieve. There could be things that we're not interested in anymore, but I don't think that'll take away from the drive to build and achieve. There could be things that we're not interested in anymore, but I don't think it'll take away
Starting point is 00:50:27 from, like I said, ambition, building, achieving. It just might be a different focus. Who knows? Okay. So that's where we're at right now. I'm five months pregnant. Nothing's changed besides the fact that I can't eat sushi or drink alcohol. I've had a little bout of morning sickness only once where I felt sick to my stomach,
Starting point is 00:50:52 like really sick. And other than that, it's been pretty smooth sailing. I feel like I've worked harder being pregnant because I've been like dead sober. So to wrap it up unlike michael did michael didn't wrap it up uh who as as a man is there anybody that likes to wrap it up i'd be curious to know because they're not they're really not comfortable well of course nobody likes it but it's a necessary precaution if you want to avoid these type of situations or nasty STD situations. You don't know.
Starting point is 00:51:28 I mean, listen. Hold on. I feel like we got to go into a whole different episode with this question. Well, I'm saying, of course, it's a necessity because you definitely do not want STDs or any of that stuff. But I'm just saying in general, it's never something that you're like, yay, let's wrap it up. It's like saying you like wearing a seatbelt. Nobody likes wearing a seatbelt, but you got to do it for safety. I feel safe on a seatbelt.
Starting point is 00:51:47 Like I'm going to fly out of the fucking car. Okay. Well, I'm going to wrap it up. You should probably wrap it up too. So if you guys are interested in more pregnancy fun, I wrote an in-depth blog post on this, on the Skinny Confidential, and then a YouTube video documenting the last five months will be out on Wednesday. We took a lot of video over the past couple of months, so everyone can kind of get a
Starting point is 00:52:11 sneak peek of that. And also, I just want to say that my whole platform isn't going to turn into a pregnancy platform and a mom platform as I'm going to talk about my journey, but it's not going to consume the whole thing. Watch. This might be one of those documented moments. Six months from now, it's a whole mommy blog. Yeah, exactly. You never know. There's too many of those, I think. I think you have a unique niche.
Starting point is 00:52:30 Stick with it. This guy is extremely shook. He's nervous. He doesn't know what to do. I know. I know. We're having a baby. Let's all hold hands.
Starting point is 00:52:38 Let's not. But yeah, we're having a baby that we're going to have. We got to get a little mic.

Starting point is 00:53:20 This is going to open up a whole new topic of conversations. A lot of conversations. This is a very new terrain for me i had i was i have to be honest just before we go i'm not the most maternal person in the world i this came as a surprise and i'm just going with it and like i said we're gonna figure it out watch mark my words to get sappy lauren's gonna be the best mother i know she's gonna be the best you.
