Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Vince’s Confusion: Is She Dropping Pregnancy Hints?

[03:59–04:55]

• Vince believes Liz is hinting at being pregnant but hasn't outright told him.
• He cites examples:
  • Liz changed the TV to "House Hunters" and commented on a nursery ([06:05]).
  • She asked him, “What do you think of the name Grady for a guy?” ([07:00]).
  • She’s mentioned her clothes not fitting and started eating unusual foods, like bacon and cheesecake ([08:32]).
• The hosts debate whether these are genuine hints or benign behaviors.

Memorable Moments & Quotes:

• Jeffrey (sarcastically): “How does it feel to be just another stupid stereotypical guy?” ([04:48])
• Vince (referring to Grady): “Kind of sounds like a pervert to me.” ([07:01])

2. The Hosts Give Vince Advice

[11:08–12:53]

• Brooke suggests Vince mirror Liz’s approach—drop his own “hints” about wanting kids to see if she reciprocates ([11:36]).
• Jose comically advises him to apologize—"just in case" and frequently, to be safe ([12:03]).
• They all agree that being sensitive is key, so as not to accidentally upset Liz if she isn’t actually pregnant.

Notable Quote:

• Jose: “Apologize for no reason at all, alright? Be sincere. Do it multiple times and it always works.” ([12:03])

3. The Awkward Call: Hints, Honesty, and a Shocking Reveal

[13:07–18:31]

• Vince calls Liz and nervously follows Brooke's advice, awkwardly referencing seeing a father and son playing catch in the park ([13:22]), and apologizing for missing "important" hints.
• When Vince finally asks outright if she’s pregnant, Liz responds: “I’m not pregnant.” ([15:05])
• The real reason for Liz’s changes: She needs to gain 15 pounds to be eligible for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) surgery, hence the change in diet and body ([15:29]).
  • She planned to get the procedure during an upcoming girls’ trip out of the country ([16:12]).
• Liz hadn't told Vince because she wanted to surprise him with her “new body” and wasn’t sure how he'd react.

Memorable Exchanges:

• Vince: “Am I wrong?”
  Liz: “I’m not pregnant.” ([15:05])
• Liz: “I have to gain 15 pounds in order to be eligible to get a BBL.” ([15:29])
• Liz (about telling Vince): “I just didn’t know how to tell you … sometimes people are judgy about it, and I have to do what’s right for me.” ([17:46])

4. Debrief: Support, Surprises, and Butt Lifts

[18:31–19:18] | [21:17–22:04]

• Liz confirms she eventually wants kids, but “not anytime soon.”
• Vince assures her: “I’m excited for you if it’s something that will make you happier … you don’t need to do it for me.” ([17:29])
• The hosts process Vince’s reaction, joking about a “butt shower” as the new baby shower ([21:36]), and note the healthy support in their relationship.

Notable Quotes:

• Brooke (jokingly): “I wonder if he’s gonna throw her a butt shower. Like a baby shower—booty!” ([21:41])
• Jeffrey: “Did it sound at all though like he was maybe a little disappointed he wasn’t gonna be a dad?” ([21:51])
• Vince: “I’m not excited to not be a dad. But I am excited that she’s doing something for herself.” ([19:09])
