00:00:04,110 --> 00:00:04,590
Okay.

00:00:18,750 --> 00:00:19,850
There's this package.

5
00:00:19,950 --> 00:00:43,310
There's a package every day in my house Yes I just want packages But I do like I try to every morning when I get up before I have my coffee I try to process the packages from the day before I literally have to use Today's garbage day and I have to I'm gonna have to use my ATV and a wagon to bring the cardboard out For recycling it's ridiculous.

6
00:00:43,590 --> 00:00:44,650
But anyway, so there's a package.

7
00:00:44,790 --> 00:00:45,770
They're always there always a package.

8
00:00:45,910 --> 00:00:47,810
I go to pick the package up It's heavy.

9
00:00:47,970 --> 00:00:56,990
I'm like, I don't know what this is It was a box good-sized box full of clothes More clothes from very very generous.

10
00:00:56,990 --> 00:01:07,590
So Kelly's mom just all kinds of cute stuff, but in particular Yeah there there was a Peter Rabbit Bath robe for a baby.

11
00:01:07,630 --> 00:01:08,650
I thought for you.

12
00:01:08,930 --> 00:01:20,930
Well, which would have been nice both Kelly and I are actively searching for the adult version of this it is the nicest softest robe and Has Peter Rabbit ears on the little hood.

13
00:01:21,050 --> 00:01:57,090
It is gorgeous This is the thing is absolutely adorable and if there if one existed for a man my size I would already own it This is the gray hair and daycare podcast With a combined age of 111 years and a combined IQ right in that same range Your host Frank Syrio and Carlo Russo Welcome back.

00:01:57,250 --> 00:01:57,350
Here.

15
00:01:57,350 --> 00:01:58,490
We are yet again.

16
00:01:58,570 --> 00:01:59,910
How did this happen?

17
00:02:00,250 --> 00:02:10,850
I know As always I am Frank Syrio, I am 55 years old and my wife is 34 weeks pregnant.

18
00:02:10,850 --> 00:02:12,010
It's getting close.

19
00:02:12,010 --> 00:02:21,090
I'm getting really bad with the number It's 34 weeks pregnant 34 weeks pregnant episode 17 episode 17.

20
00:02:21,250 --> 00:02:21,830
That's it.

21
00:02:21,870 --> 00:02:29,810
We're getting really close now It feels like I'm actually starting to have those thoughts of this could she could have any time.

22
00:02:30,370 --> 00:02:34,090
Yeah Yeah, like and now I think being her first and all that.

23
00:02:34,210 --> 00:02:39,630
I think we've got some runway left, but not a lot It's it's no it's right there.

24
00:02:39,670 --> 00:02:42,070
Like I said, I'm first it was so fast.

25
00:02:42,150 --> 00:02:48,010
It could have happened in the parking lot I can't imagine so so that's that's where we are.

26
00:02:48,110 --> 00:02:55,690
So our update We're finally at something that I think we both will say We like are we out of the coconut?

27
00:02:56,150 --> 00:03:08,170
We are now on to a honeydew melon Summertime Makes you think of summer Fourth of July picnic her her kidneys are now fully functional.

28
00:03:08,350 --> 00:03:08,810
Absolutely.

29
00:03:08,990 --> 00:03:10,290
Her liver is starting to work

30
00:03:10,290 --> 00:03:12,610
She has little fingernails and toenails

31
00:03:13,590 --> 00:03:14,350
The

32
00:03:16,390 --> 00:03:18,930
Apartments getting small she's starting to

33
00:03:18,930 --> 00:03:20,670
move less

34
00:03:20,670 --> 00:03:26,870
But be more forceful there have been multiple modes last week where Kelly will be like

35
00:03:28,230 --> 00:03:31,810
Yeah, like she's making an impact

36
00:03:31,810 --> 00:03:35,290
They can make it bigger by just kicking that's

37
00:03:40,030 --> 00:03:42,670
But doesn't necessarily work that way

38
00:03:42,670 --> 00:03:48,570
So that's where we are and things are clearly changing for Kelly, too.

39
00:03:48,870 --> 00:03:53,870
So I think One thing that I think definitely is cute.

40
00:03:53,910 --> 00:03:54,690
I think it's cute.

41
00:03:54,850 --> 00:03:58,010
Okay, so her joints are starting to loosen up

42
00:03:58,010 --> 00:04:01,490
Which is what you want to have happen, which has given her some

43
00:04:01,810 --> 00:04:03,810
back issues

44
00:04:03,810 --> 00:04:11,950
Okay, a little bit here and there things are shifting and the way I really notice this visibly is Kelly can't normally wait

45
00:04:11,950 --> 00:04:18,029
We hug sure when we hug ends loving family now when I give her a hug

46
00:04:18,550 --> 00:04:20,970
She has to push off to get out of the hug

47
00:04:22,390 --> 00:04:25,250
She's because she has to lean in over her belly.

48
00:04:25,270 --> 00:04:35,090
So now she can't just stay she has to like She has to push her to be forced to stop the yes, which I thought I think that's cute I pointed out She's like gas.

49
00:04:35,190 --> 00:04:38,890
I know it was like So the hugs spring off.

50
00:04:39,110 --> 00:04:52,170
She's kind of like a like a yeah, like you're bleat launching It's why I'll have to try to come up with a diagram and the crazy thing is not and I know to her You know, she probably feels like she's seven thousand pounds.

51
00:04:52,170 --> 00:04:52,570
Yes.

52
00:04:52,590 --> 00:04:53,170
Well, you look at her.

53
00:04:53,170 --> 00:04:58,650
She looks great Yep, people like she up she but she is at that point.

54
00:04:58,730 --> 00:05:00,650
She's like I just want it for her size.

55
00:05:00,710 --> 00:05:01,090
She's big.

56
00:05:01,170 --> 00:05:26,090
Yes Yeah, she's not used to that not used to it feels weird the whole food thing for me It's like she's he sat down to breakfast this morning and it's like a pile of scrambled eggs and a pile of berries And I'm like, it's so much fun to see She's like I want it to end I can't wait to be able to just have want a Yogurt and my team and she's gonna be full with that.

57
00:05:26,190 --> 00:05:28,650
Yeah, cuz that's what you finally found your match.

58
00:05:28,930 --> 00:05:37,630
Yes Yeah, no, it's gonna go away I think it will because yeah She's she's really like cuz that's what she wouldn't know.

59
00:05:37,670 --> 00:05:53,310
She wouldn't have anything at all She would never tea in the morning and wouldn't have anything She's gonna I mean that in a great way in so many ways in so many ways But speaking of yeah all those changes We're our first segment.

60
00:05:53,490 --> 00:05:59,450
We have not done in I think eight episodes really that much it's been a while I look back.

61
00:05:59,630 --> 00:06:02,770
We're going to move on to the diaper diet

62
00:06:03,990 --> 00:06:08,710
so if you recall, yeah, I'm trying to lose weight unsuccessfully as

63
00:06:08,710 --> 00:06:15,410
As Kelly is gaining with the baby, right and the last time we checked in

64
00:06:16,510 --> 00:06:18,310
Kelly was up

65
00:06:18,310 --> 00:06:23,750
23.2 pounds she had pulled away in the race and I was only down

66
00:06:23,750 --> 00:06:27,690
14.2 so she was ahead of me by nine pounds

67
00:06:27,690 --> 00:06:35,830
so but since then I'm gonna I'm gonna preface it by saying I have not made the same progress that

68
00:06:36,650 --> 00:06:37,530
I had been

69
00:06:37,530 --> 00:06:41,230
Since so we had all the holidays in that eight weeks.

70
00:06:41,370 --> 00:06:42,370
We had Thanksgiving.

71
00:06:42,510 --> 00:06:58,710
We had Christmas We had my Christmas party, which generates a lot of leftovers We've had two showers one in a Polish restaurant one at an Italian restaurant I'm like, it's amazing that I have not gained honestly I feel like it's a Vic.

72
00:06:58,770 --> 00:07:08,930
It's a victory for me that I haven't and I will give you that clue I have not gained I so I didn't give up any ground but in eight weeks, where do you think we are?

73
00:07:09,350 --> 00:07:11,650
So I believe in the last eight weeks.

74
00:07:11,730 --> 00:07:19,010
You said that this was the time that weight was being put on to the baby Roughly a half like yeah, like significant amount.

75
00:07:19,190 --> 00:07:32,770
So I'm gonna say she is now up Another three pounds Okay Up three twenty six should be a twenty six point two.

76
00:07:32,870 --> 00:07:36,430
Okay, let's let's round it off twenty seven We're gonna call it twenty seven.

77
00:07:36,570 --> 00:07:40,150
Okay, and you lost a Pound and a half.

78
00:07:40,290 --> 00:07:56,910
Well, you're very close on one of those two So I am down another one point three So I'm down fifteen point five nice Congratulations.

79
00:07:57,370 --> 00:07:59,470
She is up thirty two now.

80
00:07:59,630 --> 00:08:01,670
So she is really eight point eight.

81
00:08:01,750 --> 00:08:25,010
Yeah, almost like almost nine pounds Almost I put in it but over eight weeks and she's making a baby So it's a couple weeks so she's up so now I'm behind just you know, fifth second sixteen and a half pounds, okay Sure, I'm happy with the results of what I would like to do better Didn't you tell me you stopped you're gonna stop eating until the baby gets her.

82
00:08:25,330 --> 00:08:32,289
Yeah, I'll be on a hunger strike Give me the baby That's it Good for her.

83
00:08:32,610 --> 00:08:32,870
Yes.

84
00:08:32,970 --> 00:08:35,750
I think she's right where she right where she should be.

85
00:08:35,929 --> 00:08:40,630
I think she's doing a great job She's really done a good job managing her glucose.

86
00:08:41,030 --> 00:08:58,090
Yes So I think the only time I know of for sure that she was a little high on one of her readings her Shower that happened a couple days ago She had a piece a little like a microscopic piece of cake and that was enough because she doesn't have any Like I don't think she has any carbs other than sweet potatoes.

87
00:08:58,090 --> 00:09:05,250
Like she's taking it super serious Yeah, she should be our trainer after all this Listen to her.

88
00:09:05,470 --> 00:09:18,570
She could be she could she'll tell us what they just not sure not how to still be happy eating that way You're getting there and you're still losing like you said you went through all these holidays That is hours.

89
00:09:18,770 --> 00:09:20,490
That is miraculous in and of itself.

90
00:09:20,590 --> 00:09:26,310
I think the only thing that saved me really is is Having a Thanksgiving out of town.

91
00:09:26,710 --> 00:09:34,350
I didn't have the leftovers from Thanksgiving and then the comfort of your own house getting up Yeah, yeah Just a continual.

92
00:09:34,590 --> 00:09:53,150
Yeah, just to let you know every time I leave the studio He gives me bags of chocolate filled popcorn and cookies This is another strategy of mine So I got my gift from my my boss for Christmas was a collection of moose munch From Harry and David fantastic.

93
00:09:53,330 --> 00:09:59,270
I love it and I have been giving it every time Car comes for to shoot one of these.

94
00:09:59,350 --> 00:10:03,290
I'm like I take another one I just checked I checked with Trina when I saw her on Sunday.

95
00:10:03,350 --> 00:10:05,070
She's like I love it.

96
00:10:05,150 --> 00:10:28,690
Stop It so there's there's more so my numbers are up Okay What's the perfect not perfect what's the size that they want to keep like something like Kelly size up Did they give you like a weight like don't go over like 40 pounds or oh, they don't really get into that Nope, she's probably right at a good number.

97
00:10:28,910 --> 00:10:41,690
I think she's fine I think they if they thought that she was gaining too much They'd say something but they weigh her every time and they never say anything about that and she's gonna I believe she's gonna be a Person an hour and a half later.

98
00:10:41,710 --> 00:10:44,990
She will look exactly like she did before she got pregnant.

99
00:10:45,190 --> 00:10:58,630
I'm guessing I'm just saying I Heard somebody say I can't wait not I wish I could just have tea and yogurt But I can't wait until I can yeah, she's fantasizing about that.

100
00:10:58,690 --> 00:11:05,510
She's like she's like we said That steak She's eating because she has to right.

101
00:11:05,630 --> 00:11:06,930
Yeah, I'm proud of you guys.

102
00:11:07,430 --> 00:11:11,970
Yeah, especially I'm proud of her like she's doing the hard part.

103
00:11:12,070 --> 00:11:18,190
She's making a baby And and to get that many when you think about to get that many the calories she needs.

104
00:11:18,310 --> 00:11:21,250
Yeah without any carbs Right.

105
00:11:21,310 --> 00:11:21,750
She's eating.

106
00:11:21,850 --> 00:11:23,430
She's like, oh, she's getting fruit.

107
00:11:23,490 --> 00:11:24,390
She's eating some fruit.

108
00:11:24,510 --> 00:11:31,190
She has her sweet potato She loves sweet potatoes now, but like I said before the hardest part for us.

109
00:11:31,430 --> 00:11:34,250
Yeah is We get stuck in that.

110
00:11:34,430 --> 00:11:34,830
What can I do?

111
00:11:34,850 --> 00:11:35,290
What can I do?

112
00:11:35,310 --> 00:11:38,230
I want to join you and and we eat with them.

113
00:11:38,470 --> 00:11:47,650
Yeah, and and then we can't wait Yeah, I remember we were looking at pictures and that was the worst shape I've ever been in You know, I mean, yeah.

114
00:11:47,870 --> 00:11:48,650
Oh my god.

115
00:11:48,830 --> 00:11:52,050
Yeah, like that's that's because I I would you know, oh you want ice cream?

116
00:11:52,170 --> 00:11:53,210
I'll get ice cream for you.

117
00:11:53,330 --> 00:11:54,130
You want to go out to eat?

118
00:11:55,590 --> 00:11:56,750
Yeah, so

119
00:11:56,750 --> 00:12:04,430
Like I said before she craved um, she craved like meat hamburgers and and stuff like that, which I was like, let's go

120
00:12:04,430 --> 00:12:04,790
Yeah

121
00:12:05,310 --> 00:12:11,730
So that's why I said good for you because I know how hard it is on us as well to not fall into that

122
00:12:11,730 --> 00:12:13,110
Oh, let me eat at midnight

123
00:12:13,110 --> 00:12:18,310
Well, honestly with her now this stuff because she's she's got to do the the reading after every meal

124
00:12:18,310 --> 00:12:24,730
So she's not snacking in between right and because she's do since the gestational diabetes stuff

125
00:12:24,730 --> 00:12:31,190
I feel guilty like we have leftover cake from her shower, and I won't I don't think I won't eat it in front of her

126
00:12:38,970 --> 00:12:40,370
Didn't really do that

127
00:12:40,890 --> 00:12:47,470
But yeah, no, she's even going things are going things are going so that's that's our diaper diet update and we're gonna move on to

128
00:12:48,290 --> 00:12:49,870
the Silver Fox mailbox

129
00:12:50,390 --> 00:12:50,970
So

130
00:12:50,970 --> 00:12:52,190
All right

131
00:12:52,750 --> 00:12:59,310
this is general a general response that I get through a lot of our social media and email is I

132
00:12:59,950 --> 00:13:05,750
Think remember the Nigerian Prince that used to always email people and say he needed you

133
00:13:05,750 --> 00:13:10,410
Yes to help him and just send him $50 and he will send you in

134
00:13:10,950 --> 00:13:12,390
Macy's gift cards.

135
00:13:12,550 --> 00:13:13,830
Yes, exactly.

136
00:13:13,850 --> 00:13:32,490
It was always what those Nigerian princes have now all become Podcast promoters Because I get you wouldn't believe I get continual messages on on Facebook Messenger through YouTube in email Everybody and there and it's always the same thing.

137
00:13:32,530 --> 00:13:40,090
I will take your Apple It's always clearly written by someone for whom English is a second language And it's just like horrible all the time.

138
00:13:40,150 --> 00:13:42,230
The fun part is read it in the exit.

139
00:13:42,310 --> 00:14:03,470
You think it's coming I could I could try that won't do that right now Yeah, I we get the same thing with my other company all the time It's crazy don't say like, you know things that you want to do like I can make your podcast Yeah, top ten I can do this with marketing this and people will fall into that that are not as smart Absolutely.

140
00:14:03,630 --> 00:14:03,890
They're Pete.

141
00:14:04,010 --> 00:14:05,450
Everybody's looking to make a buck now.

142
00:14:05,490 --> 00:14:09,830
They have been getting better So I think I'm kind of holding that as every year as well.

143
00:14:10,010 --> 00:14:19,250
It's but it's I'm taking it as a compliment, right now They're saying oh you have X number of subscribers and with that many At least they're trying harder.

144
00:14:19,370 --> 00:14:22,030
Yeah, so it's around somebody's radar to get a piece.

145
00:14:22,250 --> 00:14:22,550
That's right.

146
00:14:22,610 --> 00:14:34,710
We're on it's only a matter of time so there's that also there is a lot of general feedback from comments on Shorts and things like that the list.

147
00:14:34,810 --> 00:14:35,810
Yeah, we do a lot of shorts.

148
00:14:35,870 --> 00:14:50,250
I love it I love it love the listeners really enjoy crash test daddy the viewers They really do and we just we're gonna we've got so many more things that we're gonna be testing very soon Yeah, there's that some some specific feedback.

149
00:14:50,390 --> 00:15:14,970
We got so Joanne Townsend Wrote about the jacama The jacama was the fruit that neither of us knew what it was She said she must have done a Google search and decided to send it to us also known as the Mexican turnip Or yam bean it is a crunchy sweet tasting root vegetable native to Mexico and Central America It's part of the pea family.

150
00:15:15,010 --> 00:15:15,410
Really?

151
00:15:16,030 --> 00:15:30,290
Yep, and is known for its thick brown skin and white flesh But I also learned not from Joanne but from someone else that it is the jacama You're supposed to pronounce the J as an age.

152
00:15:30,370 --> 00:15:31,510
So it's a jacama.

153
00:15:31,610 --> 00:15:31,750
Now.

154
00:15:31,850 --> 00:15:33,790
How do you how did I know about jacama?

155
00:15:33,790 --> 00:15:43,990
You may ask how do you know about jacama Frank because we heard from you may Avid listeners may recall our friend Phil the woodworker in Montana brilliant woodwork.

156
00:15:44,070 --> 00:15:48,350
Yes Phil wrote our first sponsor and said that it's pronounced.

157
00:15:48,710 --> 00:15:50,450
He's like a stupid It's remote.

158
00:15:50,610 --> 00:15:52,370
It's pronounced jacama and it makes really good.

159
00:15:52,490 --> 00:15:52,990
He uses it.

160
00:15:53,010 --> 00:15:53,470
He's a great.

161
00:15:53,790 --> 00:15:59,770
He's a great cook, too I remember he was a chef at one point He was a chef and he posted like he posts stuff on Facebook.

162
00:16:00,010 --> 00:16:23,070
It's like it looks delicious And he said it's a Mexican root vegetable and it makes great slaw he so he he actually has cooked with the the jacama and he also brought up a couple other things that we're gonna transition into but that is our Silver Fox mailbox we heard from Phil we heard from Joanne Townsend and the Nigerian princes who are now podcast That's awesome.

163
00:16:23,110 --> 00:16:24,670
Yeah, keep them coming in guys.

164
00:16:24,670 --> 00:16:34,850
We love to have you guys Genuinely my favorite thing what I'm coming up when we're planning these I go to go and just look for the comments and see What's coming in it is fun.

00:16:37,570 --> 00:16:58,010
That's right my shirt and Let me know if you guys would be interested in sporting some of these shirts and see we can get out there and make some merch so that leads us to From the Silver Fox mailbox to I was wrong So now Thanks to Phil, uh-huh.

167
00:16:58,110 --> 00:17:00,050
It's not really an I was wrong.

168
00:17:00,290 --> 00:17:02,330
It is a Carlo was wrong me

169
00:17:02,330 --> 00:17:03,770
Well, I was wrong a little too

170
00:17:03,770 --> 00:17:08,849
But so what Phil pointed out he said specifically and I'm going to quote

171
00:17:08,849 --> 00:17:16,250
Tell Carlo that I remember a bunch of undesirables that hung out at the mall that came from good families

172
00:17:17,369 --> 00:17:23,030
Meaning you and him so in one of our episodes you two we were talking about kids in the mall

173
00:17:23,030 --> 00:17:25,710
And you know that they're not from good families

174
00:17:25,710 --> 00:17:27,450
Feels like that was us

175
00:17:27,450 --> 00:17:33,230
Basically, that was we would fill we were not doing what they are doing now at the mall.

176
00:17:33,450 --> 00:17:34,050
Are you sure?

177
00:17:36,910 --> 00:17:42,110
Yeah, no, that's true held up and people are being Phil might not be aware of yeah

178
00:17:42,110 --> 00:17:47,110
We just thought we were in a fake band and we try to pick up girls

179
00:17:47,790 --> 00:17:48,510
That's true

180
00:17:49,210 --> 00:17:51,850
Hitting on innocent girls with big hair

181
00:17:53,990 --> 00:17:58,230
I stand by why I say so he challenged that

182
00:17:59,090 --> 00:18:03,950
He did say I'm not sure if it qualifies as I was wrong, but he felt you were wrong

183
00:18:03,950 --> 00:18:05,750
I think the whole thing is

184
00:18:08,130 --> 00:18:11,690
So there's a chance you can respond and I did not come from a good family

185
00:18:13,450 --> 00:18:19,210
And and then I had said that Laurie you did worked at

186
00:18:19,210 --> 00:18:21,170
She had commented she worked at friendlies.

187
00:18:21,250 --> 00:18:25,350
I thought she worked at the one on James Street I said that then he said no.

188
00:18:25,430 --> 00:18:39,650
No, she was at the Liverpool restaurant so I was wrong with that our friend Laurie worked at friendlies in Liverpool and He also pointed out For you another one for you.

189
00:18:39,770 --> 00:18:54,610
Come on Phil That he's pretty sure Laurie is not Phil's Laurie anymore since they have not dated in The last three or four decades, well, I wasn't talking about that Laurie I was talking about his sister.

190
00:18:55,530 --> 00:18:58,410
Oh You were talking about no, I don't I think you were said Phil's Laurie.

191
00:18:58,710 --> 00:19:01,770
I didn't have a girlfriend Well, that's what I was talking about.

192
00:19:01,970 --> 00:19:06,430
Laura Laura is his sister No, you said Laurie.

193
00:19:06,490 --> 00:19:11,770
Well, we were talking about Laurie about we were talking Laurie's the one that worked Well, Laura also worked at Friday.

194
00:19:12,010 --> 00:19:16,290
That's why but Laurie worked it from Me and Phil go there all the time.

195
00:19:16,350 --> 00:19:23,010
It's here You were thinking of his sister, but you called her so you were wrong by calling her Laurie She was Laura.

196
00:19:23,150 --> 00:19:27,490
I don't think I called I think you said and I just heard Laura who said Phil's Laurie That's right.

197
00:19:27,550 --> 00:19:28,570
We're gonna go back to the tape.

198
00:19:28,570 --> 00:19:29,270
No, no, you're right.

199
00:19:29,430 --> 00:19:29,750
Yes.

200
00:19:29,910 --> 00:19:32,630
I was thinking you were thinking of Laura Yeah, I would yeah.

201
00:19:32,690 --> 00:19:33,110
No, Laura.

202
00:19:33,230 --> 00:19:37,230
That's how I met Laura was was at my the Mandel friendly, right?

203
00:19:37,290 --> 00:19:38,310
That's why I was confused.

204
00:19:38,470 --> 00:19:41,370
Remember I said, how did you guys meet if she was in?

205
00:19:41,370 --> 00:19:43,750
I don't think in James Street.

206
00:19:44,010 --> 00:19:44,410
I'm not sure.

207
00:19:44,570 --> 00:19:46,330
I think there's some revisionist history happen.

208
00:19:46,550 --> 00:19:51,350
I know for for me I was never thinking of his ex-girlfriend.

209
00:19:51,470 --> 00:19:53,630
I Must have messed up the name.

210
00:19:53,650 --> 00:20:00,670
I'll give you that could be but I never thought of Lord that we still know We do she's around she has commented.

211
00:20:00,890 --> 00:20:02,110
She is involved in listening.

212
00:20:02,530 --> 00:20:03,670
So Laurie.

213
00:20:03,870 --> 00:20:07,050
Hello, Laura I have not I don't have to talk to in a long time.

214
00:20:07,110 --> 00:20:14,290
I'm sure she's well, but anyway, thanks to Phil For a couple I was wrong cleared it up because we're now confused me.

215
00:20:14,710 --> 00:20:15,690
I was wrong.

216
00:20:15,830 --> 00:20:18,970
Carlo was wrong all about different things Okay.

217
00:20:19,610 --> 00:20:21,250
Well, we have figured that all out.

218
00:20:21,330 --> 00:20:21,650
Thank you

219
00:20:21,650 --> 00:20:27,830
And everyone has now I want now that everyone has moved on to another podcast that covers our I was wrong for this time

220
00:20:27,830 --> 00:20:31,110
And now we decided I think a couple episodes ago

221
00:20:31,590 --> 00:20:35,550
The name of this new segment Frank around find out

222
00:20:37,210 --> 00:20:40,810
So there's a couple things I wanted to talk about because lots of things are blowing up

223
00:20:41,690 --> 00:20:43,490
Really just today and yesterday

224
00:20:44,310 --> 00:20:50,690
Regarding a couple a couple things one of them has come up more quietly over the last week or two

225
00:20:51,410 --> 00:20:54,990
Catholic Charities, okay, and the other is USA ID

226
00:20:56,230 --> 00:21:01,290
Catholic Charities is the first thing that came to my attention that I wanted to talk about because this made me feel a little uncomfortable

227
00:21:01,290 --> 00:21:09,130
Okay, so obviously we're both we're Catholic, yeah, I'm Catholic faith is important to us Catholic Charities is one of the biggest

228
00:21:09,130 --> 00:21:11,170
Charitable organizations in the country.

229
00:21:11,270 --> 00:21:12,210
They do all kinds of work.

230
00:21:12,530 --> 00:21:42,050
I was also aware that Catholic Charities does work a lot with transporting and housing immigrants and this is one of the things I struggle with because look our faith tells us to take care of those people and So I think in many ways, this is admirable work What concerned me the most is when I learned I just doing a little research to see and how much of the money that goes?

231
00:21:42,310 --> 00:21:45,290
Into Catholic Charities, which has to be millions.

232
00:21:45,410 --> 00:21:51,930
It's it is millions How much do you think comes from the federal government and state?

233
00:21:52,490 --> 00:22:19,710
in Catholic into Catholic charity Not even 10% I Would have thought it's mostly coming from You know from from Catholics from people making donations 60 plus percent of really of the revenue Coming into Catholic Charities is coming from the mostly from the federal government and and then from state governments What do they want?

234
00:22:20,150 --> 00:22:37,190
now there's a couple things that I thought about when I heard that and number one is that sucks because I would have liked to believe that People of faith are funding those charities not and not the government funding things that way the faith can Make up that money alone.

235
00:22:37,290 --> 00:22:41,190
Yeah 60% of the revenue now, there's a couple things.

236
00:22:41,290 --> 00:22:47,530
The first thing is You know that nobody gets anything from the government without a side of control.

237
00:22:47,650 --> 00:22:49,170
That's what I said What do they want?

238
00:22:49,310 --> 00:23:04,610
right and what they want is to have be able to funnel money to an Organization that can do things that it would be illegal for the government to do like move illegal immigrants How's illegal immigrants all those things and many other things?

239
00:23:04,670 --> 00:23:14,850
So there's that that okay, we can accomplish some of these things that we want to accomplish that we can't do without Congress Which I'm deeply uncomfortable with and I think is is a bad a bad thing.

240
00:23:14,890 --> 00:23:38,990
And then secondly It's also just the idea that they must exert a significant amount of control over that Organization asked if more than half of their revenue is coming from and we're talking about over the course of a decade like two billion dollars going into that organization and and it kind of dovetails into The stuff that's happening with USA ID.

241
00:23:39,310 --> 00:23:42,030
So Everybody has lost their minds.

242
00:23:42,210 --> 00:23:59,930
Well, not everybody Democrats have lost their minds over the last 24 or 48 hours because Trump has sent Musk and doge into USA ID and they have put a pause on all all spending through USA ID and So I'm like, okay.

243
00:24:00,010 --> 00:24:00,890
I don't even know what that is.

244
00:24:00,910 --> 00:24:25,650
It sounds nice USAID like what it is This is it was started by I didn't know this it was started founded by John F Kennedy Okay in during the Cold War and what it was was essentially a function of the Department of the State Department to Pay for programs around the world Essentially to combat communism, right?

245
00:24:25,790 --> 00:24:36,570
Okay to promote the interests of democracy and America the United States, which was a great around the world great great way to start Unfortunately what happened?

246
00:24:37,130 --> 00:24:43,370
Reagan comes along this is over decades later the Cold War ends and now we don't have to worry about that so much anymore

247
00:24:43,370 --> 00:24:51,390
So now that but though there were mechanisms already in place for that funding and then it started to become something very different

248
00:24:51,390 --> 00:24:51,870
Okay

249
00:24:51,870 --> 00:24:58,010
I think it has become one of the permanent institutions of liberal Democrat initiatives

250
00:24:58,010 --> 00:25:05,270
Right that it doesn't matter if the president's a Republican or a Democrat organizations like USAID are doing things that advance

251
00:25:05,270 --> 00:25:06,210
liberal

252
00:25:06,890 --> 00:25:09,310
causes that support those things and

253
00:25:09,870 --> 00:25:15,230
Deeply concerning now some of the things that they spent like have spent money on and this is what blows my mind now

254
00:25:15,230 --> 00:25:16,290
We've already made announcements.

255
00:25:16,470 --> 00:25:21,290
No life-saving programs that USAID is doing have been halted.

256
00:25:21,310 --> 00:25:21,990
Okay, right?

257
00:25:22,090 --> 00:25:33,210
They get a waiver their funding continues nothing But that organization spent six million dollars to promote tourism in Egypt How does that help the United States?

258
00:25:34,510 --> 00:25:45,330
2.5 million dollars for electric vehicles in Vietnam We love you, but I don't have any V and I don't know why you need one And I don't know why we have to pay for it now.

259
00:25:45,410 --> 00:25:54,370
Okay, 1.5 million for DEI initiatives in Serbia Serbia I Love the Serbian people.

260
00:25:54,410 --> 00:25:54,950
Why not?

261
00:25:55,050 --> 00:25:56,570
Don't know if that's what they need

262
00:25:57,090 --> 00:26:04,490
and these are like and there are there's just a litany of examples of these things that they have done over the years and

263
00:26:04,490 --> 00:26:10,810
That's why I thought it would be interesting to talk about it is because of all the things that Trump is doing because it is

264
00:26:10,810 --> 00:26:13,590
Like trying to drink from a firehose like he's just everywhere right now

265
00:26:13,590 --> 00:26:15,290
Yeah, do it all kinds of things

266
00:26:15,290 --> 00:26:21,610
but the thing that they have lost their shit about the most is this and it's because

267
00:26:21,610 --> 00:26:26,890
This is a way for them to get their way whether they are in power or not

268
00:26:26,890 --> 00:26:29,130
And some and it's they never lose

269
00:26:29,650 --> 00:26:35,630
And somebody has figured out finally to shut that stuff down somebody was pranking around right

270
00:26:35,630 --> 00:26:37,830
They found out right?

271
00:26:38,010 --> 00:26:47,470
Yeah they deliberately set this thing up so that it can be controlled by the executive branch and Now they're upset because somebody in the executive branch is controlling it in a way.

272
00:26:47,550 --> 00:27:08,990
They don't like these things I hope that I hope that everything he's doing is pulling us back To a place of common sense and eliminating a lot of things that people aren't even aware our citizens first our country first yes, our Common sense first and it seems like every week on this podcast.

273
00:27:09,150 --> 00:27:14,610
I have a statement that says follow the money Yeah, and it's always that's the that's the core.

274
00:27:14,730 --> 00:27:24,430
That's the it's always there's follow that money And that's that's the root of every of the evil of whatever's behind every frickin Program yeah, it's like okay.

275
00:27:24,490 --> 00:27:25,270
Where's the money?

276
00:27:25,830 --> 00:27:27,990
What's it getting filtered to how is it?

277
00:27:28,550 --> 00:27:31,030
Bypassing the good or where's the money going?

278
00:27:31,150 --> 00:27:31,970
How is it getting there?

279
00:27:32,230 --> 00:27:38,970
Why is it going that way and I think the good part is so for any of you know So anybody looking at the situation?

280
00:27:39,110 --> 00:27:54,990
I really think this is gonna be a good thing the best thing about it is now they have taken that organization Everything's on a pause and now that organization has moved under the control of the new Secretary of State Marco Rubio He's was unanimously confirmed.

281
00:27:55,090 --> 00:28:19,670
He's a brilliant guy He can speak intelligently to these issues and basically what he said is look number one No life-saving Programs are gonna get are gonna get touched and number two these programs are gonna do what they were intended to do, which is advance the causes of The United States around the world right not advance the causes of EV electric Electric cars in Vietnam.

282
00:28:20,130 --> 00:28:33,070
Yeah, but anyway, so they franked around their people are franking around and they're gonna find out But I thought that was an interesting thing, but now we will move on to What just happened?

283
00:28:35,470 --> 00:28:39,570
Yes, what happened so Lots of things have happened last week.

284
00:28:39,610 --> 00:29:07,230
It's been a busy week So the first thing that I thought was nice was I think my mother-in-law Kelly's mom Had a strategy at the last shower Okay, she was very generous got us a bunch of cute stuff for the baby all kinds of things, but held back sat back strategically watched Saw what we got and then a few weeks later The beginning last week.

285
00:29:07,430 --> 00:29:08,530
There's this package.

286
00:29:08,590 --> 00:29:10,310
There's a package every day at my house.

287
00:29:10,370 --> 00:29:25,290
Yes I just want packages But I do like I try to every morning when I get up before I have my coffee I try to process the packages from the day before I literally have to use Today's garbage day.

288
00:29:25,330 --> 00:29:32,470
Uh-huh, and I have to I'm gonna have to use my ATV and a wagon to bring the cardboard out For recycling, it's ridiculous.

289
00:29:32,650 --> 00:29:33,770
But anyway, so there's a package.

290
00:29:33,950 --> 00:29:34,910
They're always there always a package.

291
00:29:35,030 --> 00:29:36,950
I go to pick the package up It's heavy.

292
00:29:37,110 --> 00:29:46,230
I'm like, I don't know what this is It was a box good-sized box full of clothes More clothes from very very generous.

293
00:29:46,250 --> 00:29:56,730
So Kelly's mom just all kinds of cute stuff, but in particular Yeah, there there was a Peter Rabbit Bath robe for a baby.

294
00:29:56,730 --> 00:29:57,810
I thought for you.

295
00:29:58,070 --> 00:30:10,070
Well, which would have been nice both Kelly and I are actively searching for the adult version of this it is the nicest softest robe and Has Peter Rabbit ears on the little hood.

296
00:30:10,270 --> 00:30:24,050
It is gorgeous This thing is absolutely adorable and if there if one existed for a man my size I would already own it We might And Kelly wants one too.

297
00:30:24,150 --> 00:30:26,970
She loves a good robe and This thing.

298
00:30:27,190 --> 00:30:27,510
Absolutely.

299
00:30:27,670 --> 00:30:28,610
Absolutely adorable.

300
00:30:28,730 --> 00:30:30,330
So that was that was kind of nice.

301
00:30:30,390 --> 00:30:37,810
Um, then moved into Our regular weekly checkup the and that was everything went well.

302
00:30:37,850 --> 00:30:44,990
So at this point, they're just Measuring the belly sure normal blood pressure weight all that stuff.

303
00:30:45,150 --> 00:30:46,190
Everything's on track

304
00:30:46,190 --> 00:30:54,590
Okay, next week when we have our next appointment, I think it's going to be it's called a a fetal non-stress test

305
00:30:54,590 --> 00:30:57,870
So it's not like a putting the kid on a little treadmill or right, right

306
00:30:57,870 --> 00:31:02,410
But they are making sure that baby Josie is adapting to her

307
00:31:02,410 --> 00:31:07,330
You know the growth and the amount of room she has and I think

308
00:31:07,930 --> 00:31:11,110
Getting better intelligence on when

309
00:31:11,650 --> 00:31:17,410
Things will happen and I think the closer we get the more we interact with the doctor

310
00:31:17,410 --> 00:31:19,910
Which I think is gonna be a good thing, too.

311
00:31:19,970 --> 00:31:30,850
And then we got The tour of the hospital where we are going to have our birthing experience which happens to be st Joseph's Hospital.

312
00:31:30,970 --> 00:31:33,990
So when you with your boys, where did you guys go?

313
00:31:34,530 --> 00:31:40,370
We went to community hospital community Okay community hospital and how did it like what was it?

314
00:31:40,470 --> 00:31:46,790
So what was that experience now that I have seen what it's gonna be like for us What was it like we're so how did it work for you?

315
00:31:46,910 --> 00:32:02,150
Did you do a tour before or you just showed up like my wife we did the tour and again This is going back many years We I remember we had the same tour you're speaking about they give you some options You can do this room or you can upgrade to this room.

316
00:32:02,170 --> 00:32:02,970
Really, right?

317
00:32:03,370 --> 00:32:12,930
You didn't get that which maybe the upgrade was already what you already have Anyways, it was like a solo room and it looked like a little bit like a hotel room a little nicer, right?

318
00:32:13,410 --> 00:32:14,990
That's interesting, right?

319
00:32:15,010 --> 00:32:17,530
So that's what I want to say.

320
00:32:17,750 --> 00:32:20,670
They just got done remodeling fixing.

321
00:32:20,730 --> 00:32:24,490
Okay Building something was happening.

322
00:32:24,590 --> 00:32:52,870
Like it was a new wing something So we were offered that and of course we went to that room you did the upgrade I believe you're like did the upgrade A nice room on the corner and again Trina will let me know this could be all made up in my mind all the 18 years Okay, we need content what I believe but I believe yes, there was options of rooms, right?

323
00:32:52,870 --> 00:33:15,450
And we took the more isolated room, yeah, I guess private private suite Concierge level we still live there So this was it was interesting so we show up and it's done with a group right so really yes They did like I think there was probably Four or five couples.

324
00:33:15,610 --> 00:33:16,010
Okay.

325
00:33:16,210 --> 00:33:24,970
So first time interacting with other moms and dads and all of the moms were do right around Say our same do date.

326
00:33:25,370 --> 00:33:26,570
So that was nice.

327
00:33:26,590 --> 00:33:35,490
And of course, I have to say I have been very judgmental of the videos so These guys I was like, oh, these are cool.

328
00:33:35,630 --> 00:33:36,990
These guys they were cool.

329
00:33:37,130 --> 00:33:42,690
I did I approved They were mostly like a couple of them They were had a good sense of humor.

330
00:33:43,230 --> 00:33:44,310
They're not like it was fun.

331
00:33:44,350 --> 00:34:10,090
But basically our tour guide was a partially she is a partially retired Nurse so she is working as she does these tours and she is a lactation consultant But she had been a labor and delivery nurse for 23 years or something real nice lady And she just takes you through kind of the whole From beginning to end so you start off they show you the triage area.

332
00:34:10,090 --> 00:34:12,850
So you when you go You show up.

333
00:34:12,870 --> 00:34:22,330
The first thing you tell you is don't worry You don't have to you park in the garage But if you're in a hurry, like you can just leave your car down by the valet and we'll let you take care of it I would do that too.

334
00:34:22,870 --> 00:34:27,469
So so you come in and Then you go in for triage.

335
00:34:27,610 --> 00:34:32,670
So triage basically all they're doing that's like the goalie like no, you can go home, right?

336
00:34:32,750 --> 00:34:43,550
Like they're basically they put you they check to check the mom out and make sure are the contractions happening Are they are they at the of a timing that you need to be here right now for us?

337
00:34:43,550 --> 00:34:46,590
I think with the likelihood of being induced.

338
00:34:46,770 --> 00:34:49,449
I think that we might be skipping that part right?

339
00:34:49,530 --> 00:34:50,290
It'll be planned

340
00:34:50,290 --> 00:34:56,790
So you do that and then you go into all the rooms you go into a basically a ward

341
00:34:56,790 --> 00:35:02,570
The first thing I was disappointed by was every movie television show everything I've ever seen

342
00:35:02,570 --> 00:35:08,970
There is a big picture window and you look in and there's 30 babies and that doesn't exist anymore

343
00:35:08,970 --> 00:35:11,270
No, nope, there is no

344
00:35:13,550 --> 00:35:15,890
Really no nurse no nursery

345
00:35:19,230 --> 00:35:22,870
Right no, I actually did that actually that is a thing of the past

346
00:35:23,970 --> 00:35:29,690
So the first stage triage second stage you're in the labor delivery room private room

347
00:35:30,210 --> 00:35:31,610
You have your own bathroom.

348
00:35:31,730 --> 00:35:32,210
Yep.

349
00:35:32,350 --> 00:35:43,170
I remember that they've got all the equipment there and your team comes in and helps you and you're there until Basically, like a couple hours after the birth, right?

350
00:35:43,310 --> 00:35:49,830
Well, they they are trying to get the baby to latch and feed and doing all the other stuff that they need to do So it's nice.

351
00:35:49,970 --> 00:35:53,030
It's a private room, you know doing now on that floor.

352
00:35:53,230 --> 00:36:15,830
There are a couple shared rooms that you can have Where they have like a jacuzzi that you can go for relaxation during Okay I Don't know I know we could skip that so anything with shared resources I know Kelly's not gonna want to have anything to do with that.

353
00:36:15,890 --> 00:36:19,690
I'm not gonna either We'll be in that room until everything's good.

354
00:36:19,690 --> 00:36:20,110
Sure.

355
00:36:20,210 --> 00:36:41,110
So then you go to what's called and this is where the nursery goes away that baby stays with you except when they Take it to weigh or if there's an emergency, okay Yeah, so there is a NICU but there's no nursery for the regular population of new recruits So that's it.

356
00:36:41,210 --> 00:36:48,830
So then so you then as a group go into the mother and baby room Which is much more like an apartment again private.

357
00:36:48,990 --> 00:37:00,730
There's a little couch That pulls out that I can for I can sleep on a little more normal bed your own bathroom On that suite then there's a little kit shared kitchen.

358
00:37:00,950 --> 00:37:01,750
Oh, really?

359
00:37:01,990 --> 00:37:02,110
Yep.

360
00:37:02,190 --> 00:37:07,370
There's a share like a little yeah Microwaves and stuff like that and you're there as long as it is.

361
00:37:07,450 --> 00:37:13,550
They asked like they're basically Saying you know, it's gonna be at least you're there at least 18 hours.

362
00:37:13,690 --> 00:37:14,750
It could be two or three days.

363
00:37:14,870 --> 00:37:25,170
You're very nice and It's all very modern and nicely equipped and then at the end one of the moms Asks about I don't know.

364
00:37:25,290 --> 00:37:37,370
I don't remember what they called it but Essentially it was The way they used to do it Was you were in one room from beginning to end?

365
00:37:38,350 --> 00:37:41,810
Okay, very like and you you picked a room.

366
00:37:41,970 --> 00:38:05,970
This was your room you everything everything private everything handled there and that all Apparently the ability to do that all went away because of kovat gotcha, so essentially she said When kovat happened so many nurses retired that there was all this demand that created a demand for travel nurses where you make a lot Of money so they lost even more nurses.

367
00:38:06,230 --> 00:38:25,450
So basically she basically made it sound like there's like one nurse on Our floor Wow, not the one like there's one that has been there since before kovat All the others are new and so they don't have the skill set They don't have the staffing or the skill set to do it that way anymore.

368
00:38:25,710 --> 00:38:48,250
So this is it so it's shared resources among You know, so you have people helping multiple women giving birth at the same time so this is the way they do it now, but I did when you say like you got to choose at the end I'm like I kind of I thought of our Disney Cruise conversation Isn't there like some I can like I'll spend a little upgrade.

369
00:38:48,450 --> 00:38:49,150
Is there a bigger room?

370
00:38:49,410 --> 00:38:52,330
Yeah, is there something you know where I can also get anesthesia?

371
00:39:00,190 --> 00:39:08,930
I almost asked because they were talking about how the different types of drugs that the mother can yeah And I'm like couldn't there be nitrous oxide for the father daddy needs.

372
00:39:09,170 --> 00:39:09,770
Why not?

373
00:39:09,990 --> 00:39:22,430
But you see that I don't remember It being as comfortable The With Nicholas my second then it was with Natalia again.

374
00:39:22,470 --> 00:39:29,030
I could be wrong at one point I remember my sleeping was like in a chair same doctor same hospital.

375
00:39:29,250 --> 00:39:43,650
Yeah interesting It was in a chair and then I was in the lobby and I was uncomfortable So that might have been the night of the of the birth I just remember being more comfortable with maybe they were maybe they were full.

376
00:39:43,790 --> 00:39:48,910
It could be I think something like that actually happened.

377
00:39:49,250 --> 00:39:54,630
It was full and we had to do More shared like you said joint thing, right?

378
00:39:54,750 --> 00:40:04,370
I do remember sleeping in the hallway because the room just didn't have Couches right or seating for me to lay down and I was in the lobby.

379
00:40:04,550 --> 00:40:12,010
It is interesting How different hospitals do that and it's it's so funny that they don't have that room anymore with all the babies Yeah, no more.

380
00:40:12,390 --> 00:40:13,790
That's what you like.

381
00:40:13,850 --> 00:40:14,950
You said that's what you envisioned.

382
00:40:15,130 --> 00:40:17,770
Yeah, and then with the NICU they don't let you look

383
00:40:18,250 --> 00:40:22,570
Right, so you can't see you can't see any of that even if you wanted to but yeah

384
00:40:22,570 --> 00:40:27,250
So there's no more nursery where you sit there and see all the babies because the babies are with their moms

385
00:40:27,250 --> 00:40:32,230
So and at that time when back in the day, they probably had nurses working all the way around

386
00:40:32,230 --> 00:40:36,050
So there was more people working they could cry on the babies, right?

387
00:40:36,330 --> 00:40:39,690
All that now it's more it's a lot like do DIY right here.

388
00:40:39,770 --> 00:40:42,030
You should do skin to skin We'll be back in 90 minutes.

389
00:40:42,110 --> 00:40:42,850
You're gonna go home.

390
00:40:42,890 --> 00:40:58,730
Anyways in a couple days You're gonna figure this out anyways start now and the woman who gave us the tour of the lactation coach So they have it all figured out So she comes in and helps with latching and getting all that going and that's important if you're having challenges She has and that could be a that could be a challenge.

391
00:40:58,830 --> 00:41:08,910
Yeah, and it's very discouraging Oh, yeah, and I can't imagine so that's another thing for us dad is to be very, you know on top of it I can imagine if that works.

392
00:41:09,150 --> 00:41:23,390
It's a non-issue, but if it doesn't I can only imagine it being a thing Yeah, hopefully everything is gonna go the way it should of course and she was great talking about look Don't worry, and we have lots of strategies where we'll fit we'll figure it out.

393
00:41:23,470 --> 00:41:25,870
That's what she's there for So that that was nice.

394
00:41:25,910 --> 00:41:29,230
I'll tell you they always say, you know babies that get breastfed.

395
00:41:29,710 --> 00:41:41,470
Yes milk There's so much better Healthier healthier happier, and I'm telling you knock on wood my kids We didn't have the ear aches the the getting sick all the time.

396
00:41:41,470 --> 00:41:50,210
I mean their immune systems, whatever it is Yeah, we never had to deal with that, right and it wasn't like it was a long time They were breastfed, but it wasn't it was a good time.

397
00:41:50,210 --> 00:41:50,550
Sure.

398
00:41:50,970 --> 00:41:58,970
Yeah, it's so amazing the mother's milk and How it affects them in a good way if you can do that.

399
00:41:59,050 --> 00:42:06,890
Yeah So I hope it's something that will be easy or will latch on Because there is benefits.

400
00:42:06,950 --> 00:42:07,690
There's benefits.

401
00:42:08,050 --> 00:42:33,950
Yeah, because I've seen kids that don't didn't have that and they were always dealing with something It is a disadvantage without a doubt so that was fun we got to do that It was snowing like crazy now the other thing that I was deeply disappointed by If you recall we had the extremely boring Videos the child class videos.

402
00:42:34,130 --> 00:42:35,970
Yeah, we had printed everything out.

403
00:42:36,010 --> 00:42:36,730
We had done.

404
00:42:36,930 --> 00:42:50,290
We got to the end of those and Just when I thought I was out They pull me back in and apparently there are four more Whole classes like that was just delivery now.

405
00:42:50,510 --> 00:43:15,190
It's Now it's post birth care Caring for the baby all this like so we're now into a whole new class that we've been watching now the the upside is These were clearly shot a while after same Horrible host but she's lost a little weight Oh new blouse.

406
00:43:15,470 --> 00:43:15,970
Nice.

407
00:43:16,170 --> 00:43:34,130
She's a little perkier and She got some coaching I think yeah, I think she was like what she got some feedback notes from the last You gotta act like you're alive So So it's it's a little better and it's more so bad.

408
00:43:34,190 --> 00:43:41,430
It's interesting and again different content So we're going through those little by little but I've got a lot more to go.

409
00:43:41,570 --> 00:43:42,950
Just give me the baby.

410
00:43:42,970 --> 00:43:57,850
I'll figure it out We just got to keep it alive long enough for it to tell us what it wants Go home.

411
00:43:58,290 --> 00:43:58,410
Yeah.

412
00:43:58,630 --> 00:43:58,870
Bye.

413
00:43:59,170 --> 00:43:59,450
Right.

414
00:43:59,590 --> 00:44:00,230
See ya.

415
00:44:00,530 --> 00:44:08,670
You could see that in the tour that there were people like really that's it like Then we said and then we leave and then do you come and do you come to that?

416
00:44:08,830 --> 00:44:18,450
Yeah, one thing that I was very happy with I finally had some time like I've had a lot of time I have not been as productive as I have wanted to be with getting things ready.

417
00:44:19,050 --> 00:44:29,430
I Appreciate that so and we had talked about we had made our selection of the cradle wise and The cradle wise can be set up as a bassinet and then converted to a crib.

418
00:44:29,670 --> 00:44:30,150
Exactly.

419
00:44:30,390 --> 00:44:34,810
So that arrived and First thing is that thing is heavy really?

420
00:44:36,110 --> 00:44:37,790
They they left it outside.

421
00:44:37,990 --> 00:44:45,030
I could barely I couldn't pick it up I had to drag it in slide it to where I needed to be and then Saturday.

422
00:44:45,030 --> 00:44:48,510
Well, it is a crib Yeah, but it turns into a crib.

423
00:44:48,590 --> 00:44:49,690
Yeah, pretty heavy.

424
00:44:49,930 --> 00:44:52,270
Yeah, I get I was but I even a crib

425
00:44:52,270 --> 00:44:55,550
I wouldn't think that I couldn't lift it and

426
00:44:56,230 --> 00:45:00,850
Yeah, so I'm like wow, this is at least I feel like I'm getting my money's worth for the pound

427
00:45:01,570 --> 00:45:04,170
but so Saturday I was able to

428
00:45:04,830 --> 00:45:06,030
take care of

429
00:45:06,030 --> 00:45:12,230
Putting that together so and I'm not sure you may at some point maybe even in this episode

430
00:45:12,990 --> 00:45:18,270
See, I recorded the whole assembly so you could see putting it together

431
00:45:18,270 --> 00:45:20,650
And it really was I have to say

432
00:45:20,650 --> 00:45:24,050
It is beautifully designed.

433
00:45:24,070 --> 00:45:24,730
It's great.

434
00:45:24,850 --> 00:45:31,850
It's a it's a great design the product itself the packaging Also, very well designed very easy to assemble.

435
00:45:32,090 --> 00:45:35,550
All you needed was a allen key and us and a screwdriver

436
00:45:36,030 --> 00:45:36,450
took

437
00:45:37,410 --> 00:45:41,570
Maybe an hour and a half to put it all together including

438
00:45:42,250 --> 00:45:47,590
setting up the app right getting it all all working and we so we got all that done and

439
00:45:48,230 --> 00:45:51,950
on top of it one of the gifts from the shower that we'll talk about next a

440
00:45:52,830 --> 00:45:55,930
Little stand because because the cradle wise goes up and down

441
00:45:55,930 --> 00:45:59,890
You can't have one of those like clamp on mobiles because it would just be like shaking it

442
00:45:59,890 --> 00:46:00,850
So

443
00:46:00,850 --> 00:46:08,650
so we have a separate stand with a beautiful mobile that was a gift from my sister in Texas actually

444
00:46:09,170 --> 00:46:15,670
Got that set up set up the diaper genie and the love the diaper genie when you described

445
00:46:16,450 --> 00:46:19,770
the diaper genie and the poopy sausage

446
00:46:19,770 --> 00:46:25,610
So your version of the diaper genie clearly several generations at least 18

447
00:46:25,610 --> 00:46:31,390
Yeah, there was a twisting that happened, yes, you have to twist when you put it in then you turn

448
00:46:31,390 --> 00:46:33,390
Okay, this does not do that.

449
00:46:33,450 --> 00:46:33,770
Really?

450
00:46:33,930 --> 00:46:34,250
I don't know.

451
00:46:34,850 --> 00:46:36,290
This is just I don't know.

452
00:46:36,390 --> 00:46:50,030
There's nothing going on Okay, you put the you basically you clip a cartridge of bags into the bottom Pull it up through around a little lippies Yeah, and then there's just two flaps that you push it through and I don't see anything about twisting.

453
00:46:50,210 --> 00:46:50,530
Are you sure?

454
00:46:51,190 --> 00:47:06,130
I didn't read the directions, but okay, so It sounds exactly like what I had okay, but when you call it when you put it in, you know, it tells you to turn And because that's what was making the links the poopy links.

455
00:47:06,350 --> 00:47:14,750
That's what I thought individually sealing it all Together and so when you take it out, it's not this huge Huge bag holding it all together.

456
00:47:14,830 --> 00:47:24,290
It kind of looks like links so it doesn't rip so now here's the thing so I one of our shorts I Snipped out the part of the podcast.

457
00:47:24,410 --> 00:47:38,090
You're sure that we're called referred to the poopy sausage and the company the diaper genie people Commented how so crazy they call it the snake the diaper snake diaper snake.

458
00:47:38,090 --> 00:47:54,010
That's a better They kind of love the poopy sausage But maybe it's called a snake and not sausage because it's all continuous But but they knew what poopy sausage meant so they they got an idea they did like it They liked it and I was very excited.

459
00:47:54,150 --> 00:47:55,990
This could be our maybe our first sponsor.

460
00:47:56,110 --> 00:48:01,090
Thanks to your deep Knowledge of parenting and the poopy sausage.

461
00:48:01,210 --> 00:48:08,130
So I'm gonna so you set that up it is so maybe next time Take a look at well, we haven't used it But I've got some bag.

462
00:48:08,230 --> 00:48:13,310
Well, we'll do a crash test daddy with it That's how I put on some depends at some point in the future.

463
00:48:13,470 --> 00:48:13,690
Sure.

464
00:48:13,710 --> 00:48:22,650
We can do that So that all got set up on Saturday and I could tell it was a huge Relief for Kelly.

465
00:48:22,750 --> 00:48:27,390
She I could tell she was so much happier Just just to see it.

466
00:48:27,630 --> 00:48:33,970
We so we have the cradle wise got the diaper genie Also, I have a rocker that's normally in our family rooms.

467
00:48:34,010 --> 00:48:55,610
We brought that in that's gonna be so big the rockers Oh my god, it's gonna she's gonna be yes She got a special little Ottoman that allows her to get out of the rocker Easily enough the only thing I couldn't do which I we knew we were getting but we were getting it at the shower That just hadn't happened yet is The changing table.

468
00:48:55,850 --> 00:49:03,810
Gotcha So that right now is a project that I might try to do tonight and then that'll be it It'll that's all going into your bedroom.

469
00:49:04,150 --> 00:49:24,970
Yep for now So yeah And and when you see if I think I might do one of those time-lapse So you can see the assembly the assembly was really easy good straightforward on the cradle and then maybe I'll do one on the changing cable to Saw everything did it get real like there's a baby stuff in my bedroom right now It felt it felt good.

470
00:49:25,010 --> 00:49:26,290
It felt good to see it.

471
00:49:26,310 --> 00:49:30,430
I feel like okay, there's a little Landing pad, right?

472
00:49:30,470 --> 00:49:33,210
This is gonna be her spot.

473
00:49:33,810 --> 00:49:38,050
And yeah, I was excited to see that Sometime you bought some time.

474
00:49:38,170 --> 00:49:40,270
Yes for the baby room the nursery.

475
00:49:40,450 --> 00:49:44,950
I have made little progress Nice, so we have the light fixtures.

476
00:49:45,490 --> 00:49:52,210
So if you recall the light fixtures we selected are hot air But they look like hot air balloons old-timey hot air balloons.

477
00:49:52,410 --> 00:49:53,590
Okay, two different sizes

478
00:49:53,590 --> 00:49:59,870
So I'm gonna I'm gonna wire those and have those in the room and then what I decided as far as the look

479
00:49:59,870 --> 00:50:04,090
I'm gonna put in like Wayne scoating chair rail

480
00:50:04,090 --> 00:50:09,230
Around the room and then the above the chair rail what I'm what I

481
00:50:09,230 --> 00:50:14,510
decided I'm gonna do is we're gonna take Winnie the Pooh images love Winnie and

482
00:50:14,510 --> 00:50:17,770
There's a particular image that we like from a coloring book

483
00:50:17,770 --> 00:50:23,430
That is Winnie the Pooh and Tigger and piglet in a makeshift hot air balloon

484
00:50:23,430 --> 00:50:26,090
Yes, and I'm gonna use a projector

485
00:50:26,090 --> 00:50:31,930
I'm gonna scan that from the coloring book use a projector put it up on the wall and I'm gonna paint it

486
00:50:31,930 --> 00:50:35,730
so basically what I'm gonna do is make the walls look like a coloring book and

487
00:50:37,570 --> 00:50:39,190
Partially color it in with watercolor.

488
00:50:39,950 --> 00:50:50,290
Wow, that's my that's the goal I have to do a proof of concept of how the water color is gonna look but that's the plan Wow, and as I do that, I will do videos and you guys will get to see it.

489
00:50:50,490 --> 00:50:53,310
Hopefully too So that but that so that's up, but I got to get on the stick.

490
00:50:53,430 --> 00:50:59,350
I'd like to have a lot of that done Before so I got you know, three four weeks.

491
00:50:59,390 --> 00:51:04,270
Our theme was Baby Noah's Ark Noah's Ark, that's cute.

497
00:51:13,650 --> 00:51:14,070
What is it?

498
00:51:14,090 --> 00:51:24,470
That's so cool That's a and it was so cool to look at and it was it was sad when we had to paint over when they got Yeah, when they got older and they didn't want Noah's Ark baby Noah's Ark, right?

499
00:51:24,890 --> 00:51:26,610
But it was for many years.

500
00:51:26,690 --> 00:51:27,230
We enjoyed it.

501
00:51:27,250 --> 00:51:27,810

502
00:51:27,890 --> 00:51:28,010

Nobody went hungry then so we did that there and

510
00:52:39,670 --> 00:52:40,190

00:56:46,650 --> 00:56:50,590
Oh my god, these little things that come up, you know Especially being religious and Catholic.

545
00:56:50,810 --> 00:56:51,050
Yep.

547
00:56:52,810 --> 00:57:08,590
Yeah with you know baptisms and this and then there's little parties That was that was another thing that I thought was nice because Kelly's mom is is very religious Yeah, but there hasn't been a lot of that Anything directly faith related for the baby yet, right?

548
00:57:08,890 --> 00:57:12,890
Although we brought it You did my cousin Susan.

00:57:13,150 --> 00:57:26,350
Yeah first prayer book You guys gave a little prayer book and I thought that that really was nice and I was actually talking to my cousin Susan about We're really disappointed because we went to mass So this path like the Saturday we did mass on Saturday.

550
00:57:26,550 --> 00:57:27,930
I was reader too.

551
00:57:28,090 --> 00:57:45,350
I remembered to process in I did And father sheep denounced that you know, they have a small little school Attached to the church at Sacred Heart and they had a pre-k program there and they're closing it And that's it.

552
00:57:45,430 --> 00:57:49,550
That's a tough thing with with our Catholic closing the schools.

553
00:57:49,570 --> 00:57:58,190
Yeah Pompeii close their school Yeah, so what we did we wanted religion to be a big part of that process early learning, right?

554
00:57:58,350 --> 00:58:00,430
Yeah, so we went and you might look into this.

555
00:58:00,510 --> 00:58:10,910
We went to a place called little lamb little lamb right in North Syracuse Okay, it's not the church that we go to right, but they were teaching the word, right?

556
00:58:10,910 --> 00:58:29,450
And we thought you know what for what it is and they were oh my god such great people Not only did we have Natalia there, but we had Nicholas there nice and then when I went through our family health issues Yeah, they were Incredible really with us.

557
00:58:29,570 --> 00:58:34,570
They were incredible and I would do it all over again to that Interesting place.

558
00:58:34,650 --> 00:58:36,430
So look up little lamb little lamb.

559
00:58:36,530 --> 00:58:36,690
Now.

560
00:58:36,730 --> 00:58:38,030
It's not a Catholic run.

561
00:58:38,250 --> 00:58:43,670
So Susan was telling me seen Elizabeth I think are they in is that in Liverpool or a Beaville?

562
00:58:43,790 --> 00:58:44,470
It might be Beaville.

563
00:58:44,630 --> 00:58:53,850
I think it might be in Beaville in between so both of her boys went through and they still they still have theirs Still active.

564
00:58:54,030 --> 00:59:04,210
So yeah, we're gonna have to look into that Of course in my mind as soon as I heard it I'm like, I'm gonna make that reopen like I'm gonna find a way Funding like coming out like there's gotta be a way teaching it.

565
00:59:04,330 --> 00:59:05,970
They had it and they could have it again

566
00:59:05,970 --> 00:59:06,410
Yeah

567
00:59:06,410 --> 00:59:13,330
But what's the resumption but but for being my side of family and having a little bit of having those things that are we just

568
00:59:13,330 --> 00:59:15,010
Talked about in a recent episode

569
00:59:15,010 --> 00:59:22,250
that's one of the most important things for me is to pass on a strong faith to a little Josie and

570
00:59:22,250 --> 00:59:26,230
to have those gifts that were meaningful and other really thoughtful gifts and

571
00:59:26,230 --> 00:59:29,450
You know the books that they gave us and just everything.

572
00:59:29,450 --> 00:59:31,450
It was a great thing instead of cards

573
00:59:32,050 --> 00:59:36,330
Yeah, I didn't know that but that was the thing that my sister did in the invitation

574
00:59:36,330 --> 00:59:39,830
It said don't bring a card instead bring it

575
00:59:39,830 --> 00:59:44,610
Just write an inscription in a book for the baby and and the choices were excellent

576
00:59:44,610 --> 00:59:52,630
yeah, and and I literally like that's gonna probably have to be part of the nursery remodel as there's already a

577
00:59:53,510 --> 00:59:56,190
Literally like us a bookshelf of books.

578
00:59:56,190 --> 01:00:08,730
We have Plastic bins We just we loved them and yeah, we would read at night with them and all that stuff Yeah, when Trina told me that about the cards instead of cards in the books.

579
01:00:08,890 --> 01:00:09,990
That's that's that's cute.

580
01:00:10,170 --> 01:00:20,830
That's neat Yeah, no, it was great Yeah I did notice You know you appreciate the gift so much and you think about how meaningful they are and my sister did a great job in the Shower, right too generous.

581
01:00:20,970 --> 01:00:31,450
My other sister beautiful to be like I had already sent Yeah, she couldn't come from Texas, but she's gonna come once the baby's born to help out That's right.

582
01:00:31,490 --> 01:00:32,490
Yeah, I like that.

583
01:00:32,610 --> 01:00:33,250
I'll be great.

584
01:00:33,610 --> 01:00:35,710
She's gonna do that but sent some beautiful gifts.

585
01:00:35,770 --> 01:00:47,230
I walked in and the gifts were And I can't yeah, I can't sort anything out yet because the one thing that we did this was a mess Uh-huh, a little a little teeny mess.

586
01:00:47,290 --> 01:00:58,630
Okay with the shot was And actually we could probably figure it out My brother-in-law did a great job took a bunch of pictures videos all the videos I haven't I haven't watched him yet.

587
01:00:58,650 --> 01:01:04,550
But from what I hear they basically are just Kelly saying oh a lot.

588
01:01:04,670 --> 01:01:21,010
There's just a lot of But we didn't and I was helping I was like getting rid of the wrapping paper Presenting the as Kelly worked through the presence, but I nobody took a good track of who's who yeah So I tried to keep it organized.

589
01:01:21,150 --> 01:01:29,550
So right now everything's gotta stay there Until until Kelly can go through everything and make sure she's positive on who gave what?

590
01:01:30,450 --> 01:01:56,250
But yeah, but it was it was really it was really nice plus a couple fairly solid offers for help with babysitting some fairly sincere offers Trina was like like basically demanding to be in rotation for that stuff, too But yeah, no taking that way I have some of my a couple of my cousins are very nearby You can really kill me you were Welcome to do so.

591
01:01:56,310 --> 01:01:59,110
My son watches your dogs and we watch the baby.

592
01:01:59,190 --> 01:01:59,610
That's right.

593
01:01:59,650 --> 01:02:08,730
Yeah, there you go From doggies to babies cover it all that seems like you had a full It was busy week.

594
01:02:08,790 --> 01:02:17,870
I had if I can we did something as well something that happened to us We went to we had my mother's one month Mass Awesome.

595
01:02:18,110 --> 01:02:18,250
Yep.

596
01:02:18,490 --> 01:02:30,090
We had my mom's one month mass that from her passing I got to go with my brothers and my dad and my cousins my cousins came out That's not you have a great relationship with your extended family their cousins.

597
01:02:30,230 --> 01:02:31,970
I love them really nice death.

598
01:02:32,150 --> 01:02:43,650
That's awesome So we not only did that but afterwards we went to brunch with everybody So now and where was it that you we went to drumlins and I've never been there.

599
01:02:43,750 --> 01:03:04,030
That's a good that's a good brunch Okay, and and then after that after brunch, we all went to the cemetery That's very nice, yeah, so we had a very nice time I know my mom would you know, she used to love going out to dinner going out to you know Yeah, so we did that and you know, we're gonna keep it going.

600
01:03:04,090 --> 01:03:06,950
We're gonna keep it That is the nicest way.

601
01:03:07,030 --> 01:03:23,650
Honestly, that is one of the things when I first started to have big family get-togethers My mom was still alive and she loved just loved it and And anytime I think you know, it's a lot of work because it is it's a lot of work.

602
01:03:23,730 --> 01:03:26,990
You get 45 people Cooking you never know.

603
01:03:27,150 --> 01:03:51,930
You know, it's all I know how happy She would be that I continue to do that and I'll do it forever Just because but I do she she loved it She loved when we when we would do that because it happens so and frequently and if you don't your family you guys get together Regularly, it's awesome.

604
01:03:52,250 --> 01:04:15,190
And you know we for a long time, you know, we didn't see you know, my extended family We didn't see each other And unless somebody passed away or somebody got married or yeah And so it's nice to have that at least once in a while We we grew up that way because of when we when we came here from Italy We came with some uncles a grandmother.

605
01:04:15,530 --> 01:04:39,150
We all lived in one house So our house was the gathering place with the other siblings that were already here My mom had a sister here and a brother here and they had their families So because our grandmother lived with us in our house, they all came to us so at any given time there was at least 13 to 15 people at my house every day.

606
01:04:39,250 --> 01:04:50,990
That is like a like that is a like a dream Love I swear I remember being sent downstairs to get more chairs from our downstairs kitchen.

607
01:04:51,230 --> 01:05:00,310
Yeah Yes, we have two kitchens and I remember it's so crazy Walking downstairs and saying to myself as a kid my head going.

609
01:05:01,990 --> 01:05:04,870
That's all I remember that feeling of oh my god

610
01:05:04,870 --> 01:05:10,370
They're all here excitement and I did it and it happened every almost every other day

611
