[Dani]

[Dani]

[Ethan]

Ask, tell Confess.

[Dani]

You guys do the intro.

[Ethan]

I got to do the intro.

[Dani]

Oh, Haley's ready. She cleared her throat and everything.

[Ethan]

Welcome back to another episode.

[Cash]

Yeah, I couldn't finish it. That was good. That was great.

[Dani]

That was really good. You set the mood and I just carried it on.

[Jennifer]

You did. It was good.

[Ethan]

I felt like I was on episode of Step or the movie Step Brothers right now. Yeah, I don't know why. That was just very Catalina wine Mixer.

[Dani]

Ah, boats and hoes. All right, guys, I'm gonna kick this one off. If you guys are wondering why we're in the same outfits as last week, it's because we are filming back to back because hopefully by this time, I.

[Jennifer]

Will have been out of my egg retrieval. All right, Jennifer wants to know, currently I am sitting with my daughter while she is in labor and will be helping her with delivery. My question is, when it comes to that time for your baby to be born, will you be in the room.

[Dani]

During the labor and delivery for the birth of your child?

[Ethan]

Interesting. Some people aren't and some people are. So that's a really good question.

[Dani]

Who is not?

[Ethan]

Well, sometimes the surrogate doesn't let them.

[Dani]

Crazy. What?

[Ethan]

Yeah.

[Dani]

New Fear unlocked. I need to talk to her about that.

[Ethan]

Oh, you didn't talk to her about that.

[Dani]

I think we did. I'm not sure. We've talked about so much But I'll.

[Jennifer]

Text her after this.

[Dani]

I love our surrogate.

[Cash]

She's so sweet.

[Dani]

She is so sweet. And I can't. I will. I will introduce you guys to her. Maybe after the journey. Just because she does have a big social media presence and she's a sweet, sweet girl. She's a sir. She's been a surrogate for other people. And I'll tell the story about the surrogate too, after everything. But of course I would be in the room. I want to be there the minute the baby is literally soul portaled into.

[Ethan]

Are you gonna universe skin of skin the baby?

[Dani]

Oh, of course, for sure. And me and J both, for sure. I want to be there for every.

[Cash]

You going to cut the umbilical cord or you want to.

[Dani]

Oh, God, I'll probably faint. I'm not good with like that. I'm going to make him do it. I can't. I'll be like, there's no way poop today. And before we do skin, before we do skin to skin, can they wash the little critter off?

[Ethan]

No. That's the whole point. You have to straight out slap it on the skin.

[Cash]

Don't some mothers eat the penda?

[Ethan]

Yeah. Are you rubbing it on your face? Are you gonna place in the facial?

[Dani]

It's not mine.

[Ethan]

Oh, you're. Yeah.

[Dani]

So what the benefits am I gonna reap from that?

[Ethan]

It's like stem cell.

[Jennifer]

No.

[Dani]

No, no. If it was coming from my body, yes, I would do that. But I think that's a little cannibalistic to be doing that from somebody else's body. That's weird. Would you eat my placenta?

[Ethan]

It's your DNA though. Yeah, because it's your baby.

[Dani]

I don't know.

[Jennifer]

I need to.

[Dani]

I gotta ask. Chat. Chat. And I have to have a very serious conversation about this. Yeah.

[Ethan]

Because I mean, that would technically be orange DNA.

[Jennifer]

As the temps start rising, I feel that familiar urge to refresh my closet. But I'm not wasting money on pieces I'll wear only once or for just one season. Quince changes that their clothes are timeless, lightweight, and far more elevated than anything else. At this price, it finally feels like my wardrobe matches my standards. The best part, everything with Quince is half the cost of similar brands, like 100% European linen shorts and dresses from $30 Luxe Swimwear, Italian leather platform sandals, and so much more. And Quints only works with factories that use safe, ethical and responsible manufacturing practices and premiums fabrics and finishes. I have been obsessed with quince for a while now. Their cashmere and silk are next level, but their gym line completely surprised me in the best way. The fabrics are buttery, soft, breathable and hold up like a dream during workout and errands. This summer I picked up their flow knit ultra soft performance shorts, lightweight terry hoodie and ribbed tank set. And let me tell you, they're quickly becoming my go to essentials. The quality for the price is unreal. Everything feels like the luxe Active brand wears I've splurged on before, but at a fraction of the cost and with ethical sustainable manufacturing too. Style wise, the cuts are flattering and the colors are chic. And it's all transitions easily from gym to brunch to a beach walk. I'm planning to live in these pieces for early morning walks, travel days and casual summer get togethers. If you've been on the fence about trying Quince's active line, consider this your sign. You won't regret it. Give your summer closet an upgrade with quince. Go to quince.com bunny for free shipping on your order and 365 day returns.

[Dani]

By the way, we left the neon sign pink.

[Ethan]

You know, bro, I said to change.

[Dani]

Yeah, it's going to. It's going to clash online, but it's okay.

[Cash]

Hey, Valentine's Day right now?

[Ethan]

Yes, please.

[Jennifer]

All right.

[Ethan]

Just change it.

[Dani]

I mean we're already.

[Ethan]

Put it in there. Put it in the episode. Changing the live right now.

[Dani]

Cool too.

[Ethan]

No red.

[Dani]

There we go. There. Thank you. Oh, there we go.

[Ethan]

Changing it.

[Dani]

There she blows.

[Cash]

There you guys go.

[Ethan]

That's why it's different.

[Jennifer]

But yeah, of course I want to be there. I want to be there when they implant the baby, when they do the embryo transfer.

[Dani]

I want to be there for everything. So luckily she lives close by. So it's like just, you know, a half hour command.

[Ethan]

Yeah. And then like. Are you going to wait? What was I about to ask? I just had brain fart. Go ahead. Never mind.

[Cash]

Train derailed.

[Dani]

Yeah, we were talking about the baby being in the hospital room.

[Ethan]

I haven't slept in a week, guys. My brain just literally shut off.

[Cash]

I mean, he slept.

[Ethan]

I. I don't know what's going on.

[Dani]

You're not okay.

[Cash]

I've been going to bed at 5:30 every day. I don't get it. I can't sleep.

[Dani]

I couldn't sleep last night and I didn't sleep the night before.

[Cash]

I think it's these hormones, but I'm taking double magnesium.

[Ethan]

Came to me.

[Jennifer]

What was it?

[Ethan]

It came to me. Is she gonna do a hospital birthday?

[Dani]

Yes.

[Ethan]

Yeah, cool.

[Dani]

We're doing a hospital birth. We already have the hospital picked out.

[Ethan]

There's so much planning behind baby stuff. It's crazy.

[Dani]

But one thing I love about her, she has chunky babies. Her baby she just had was 10 pounds, dude. And yeah, just he's a beefy cake. Like, oh, he's so cute.

[Ethan]

I wanted chunky babies so bad.

[Dani]

I'm like, give me a chunk. Give me a big old. I skip the newborn clothes. Give me a full three month old that you just out.

[Ethan]

Oh, bro. I listened to my doctors and they diagnosed me with the big baby syndrome. There's a name for it. And so I didn't buy any newborn clothes. I only bought the zero to threes. Both my kids came out tiny and we had no clothes for them. Like, Jason had to go because I was hospitalized for like a week. Yeah, he had to go buy clothes for both kids.

[Dani]

How. How big were you when you were born?

[Ethan]

Oh, me? Yeah, I was like almost ten pounds, like nine something.

[Dani]

Really?

[Ethan]

A big. Jason and I both. Jason was recorded longest baby in the history of the hospital.

[Dani]

Geez.

[Ethan]

24 and a half inches long.

[Dani]

Damn.

[Ethan]

That's a ginormous.

[Dani]

That's a canoe.

[Ethan]

Hello.

[Cash]

How big were you?

[Dani]

Six pounds. I was six pounds, 13 ounces. How big were you? I don't know how long I was.

[Cash]

I think I was seven. Seven.

[Dani]

Oh, angel numbers.

[Cash]

That's what I was. The skinniest I ever was. Guys, I wish I could get back.

[Dani]

I was smaller than cash then. If cash was seven, I was six. I was six pounds, 13 ounces.

[Ethan]

Both of them were like low sevens by the time left the hospital.

[Dani]

Wow.

[Ethan]

Yeah. They're little babies.

[Dani]

I want a big old chunk. Give me the chunkiest chunk chunk. I want a little chachi coming out of her. Just give me a 60 pound. Give me a little chach.

[Jennifer]

I used to constantly stress about overdraft fees popping up when I least expected them. Like, how is it that buying a coffee could turn into a $35 charge? Then there were times that my bills hit before payday and boom. Late fees and saving, forget it. It felt almost impossible to get ahead when my account was always playing catch up. Switching to chime checking changed that. No hidden fees, no surprise. Overdraft charges and saving happens automatically. It's honestly been a game changer for my peace of mind.

[Jennifer]

Checking account required okay, let's be real. I've had a love hate relationship with push up bras for years. Either they'd gap at the top, dig into my sides or give that weird stiff unnatural lift that felt like armor instead of underwear half the time. I'd end up adjusting it all day or straight up taking it off the minute I got home. Then I tried the Skims Ultimate Push Up Bra and it changed everything. It's the only push up I've worn that actually feels like it was made from my body. No weird gaps, no poking wires. And the lift? Chef's kiss. It's supportive, it's super smooth under clothes and gives that naturally fuller shape without looking overdone. It's honestly the first push up that I forgot I'm Wearing the cups mold perfectly, the band doesn't roll or squeeze, and it still makes me feel confident and comfortable all day. Skims just gets it When I first got my hands on the Skims Ultimate Push Up Bra, I was honestly skeptical. I've tried so many bras that promise comfort and a good lift, but they either feel too stiff, too bulky, or just didn't fit right. The moment I put this one on was game over. It was buttery, soft, hugged all the right places and gave me the kind of lift that felt natural, not forced. It made me feel snatched but effortless, if that makes sense. Confident, supported and actually excited to wear a push up bra again. It's one of those pieces you don't just wear for a look, you wear it because it makes you feel good. Skims really nailed it with this one. What I really love about the Skims Ultimate Teardrop Push Up Bra is how versatile it is. It's not just one of those bras you wear for a night out and then shove it to the back of your drawer. The shape is so flattering under everything. Fitted tees, low cut tops, even those tricky dresses. And the straps fully adjustable and actually stay put, which feels like a small miracle. I also love that the fabric is super smooth and doesn't show under clothes. It feels luxe without being overcomplicated. It's one of those rare bras that's cute and functional and honestly, finding both in one piece is a win. Shop the Skims Ultimate Bra Collection and [e-mail] after you place your order, be sure to let them know I sent you select podcast in the survey and be sure to select my show Dumb Blonde in the dropdown menu that follows.

[Dani]

Yeah, but of course I'll be there. I'm so excited about it. And well, whenever that time comes, if that time comes. Because listen, last week, last week I didn't think we were having kids because of how horrible it was. And you know what? We still don't know. I can go to my doctor's appointment tomorrow and they can be like, meh.

[Ethan]

No, we manifest that it's going to.

[Dani]

Happen, but we'll see. We'll see. Whatever. God, it's. My husband said the coolest thing the other day because I was so stressed out. He said, baby, it's on God's watch.

[Ethan]

I love that.

[Dani]

Yep. So yeah, we're going to the Bahamas.

[Jennifer]

You guys excited?

[Dani]

I'm excited too, but now I'm scared because you know how we've been talking about like going to the Bahamas? Well, you know, my FYP picked that up. Some chick went to the Bahamas, swam with the pigs. Did you see it?

[Cash]

I. I saw a story about that.

[Dani]

She held the pig and got, like, bugs underneath her skin for, like, years.

[Ethan]

Yep.

[Dani]

Yeah, I can't. I'll freak out. So are we not swimming with pigs?

[Cash]

No, I'd rather not.

[Dani]

But that's only one story.

[Ethan]

A couple weeks, you can go swim with your own pigs.

[Dani]

In the poop pond?

[Ethan]

Yes. I don't let them be the first ones in. What do you think those pigs do?

[Dani]

I mean, but that's an ocean. It's like salt water and the turds get taken away. Poop pond is going to be poop soup. Like, we're. It's like crunches. Big crunch has an, like, cinnamon, turns.

[Ethan]

Around to me and her and just opens it up. Opening it up. I was like, gotta go.

[Dani]

Bye.

[Cash]

Bye.

[Dani]

No, you don't care. That big cinnamon roll. You don't care. He. It's gonna have a waterfall and it's gonna be like, you know, moving around.

[Ethan]

But let the pigs be the first things in. Go swim with them.

[Dani]

Yeah, I don't know. We'll see. Maybe I'm not into poop soup. All right, who's next?

[Cash]

Okay. When I worked at the strip club, I used to get paid a thousand dollars for two shot glasses of breast milk. The sugar daddy was 65 to 75. 70 years old. He always said it kept him from getting sick. I don't know. He would pay for a VIP and want me to squirt it in his mouth. Nasty bastard. Just kidding. I didn't think nothing of it back then, but now I kind of feel weird about it, especially since I'm nursing as we speak.

[Dani]

Yeah. Oh.

[Cash]

Did anyone ever do that to you?

[Dani]

Well, I didn't have breast milk. There was. There's so many fetishes. There's like, men who love pregnant women. Even when I did cocktails at the Palms, high rollers that would come in, would that. Have you guys ever seen me walk up to a pregnant belly and say, let me rub it for good luck? I do that anytime I see a pregnant belly. It's because when I. All the high rollers when I worked at the Palms would request when they were making high stakes bets that a pregnant cocktail waitress be waiting on them because it was good luck.

[Ethan]

Really didn't even know that. That's so crazy.

[Dani]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

Wow.

[Dani]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

I love rubbing and pregnant belly. And I know that pregnant people feel. I always ask first, of course, but, like, pregnant There's a little. Your squishes. I had this crazy video when I was laying down with, I think pregnant with Cash, and he took his butt and moved it across my stomach. It looked. It literally looked like out of, like, Men in Black. It was the wildest thing ever. And then I've got one of Olivia too, where she just, like, straight elbows out the side of my stomach. It's insane. Terrifying.

[Dani]

Should we tell the story about Liv on the podcast?

[Ethan]

Okay, but I won't give names.

[Dani]

Okay. And you gotta show the picture, too. You gotta show the picture, too. This is who Olivia is, man. She is. Is so funny. This kid is so hilarious.

[Ethan]

Jaime doesn't know the story.

[Cash]

This is my first time.

[Dani]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

Okay. So this is no disrespect. This is a very innocent child doing this entire situation. There was a recent burial in this, like, 1800s cemetery up the road from someone I know. And Olivia was very intrigued by this. She. She is very fascinated of all things like circle of life. And my mom said, I, you know, I'll take you up there. I don't mind. We can go see. I've hiked up to that cemetery myself too. It's a really beautiful old cemetery. Hand carved gravestones, everything like that. And so there's this freshly buried person up there. And Olivia got my mom's phone, and she's taking pictures of, like, the old tombstones and some blurry pictures, everything like that. So when my mom came back, she decided to show my husband these really cool gravestones and all this kind of stuff. So she's swiping through and she finds a blurry photo, and she goes, oh, this is when I handed it to Olivia. So she swipes a couple more and this photo pops up. So let me just show you guys this photo while Olivia had my mom's phone.

It's so innocent. And it just. My mom and husband broke out laughing so hard and they were like, they had no idea this photo existed. But the fact that she decided to take a selfie with this grave just, just absolutely sent me to. So my child.

[Cash]

I hope a kid does that to me when I'm buried.

[Dani]

You need to blow this up and put it in a room.

[Ethan]

She's got like a Lainey Wilson shirt on or something like that. She's so innocent.

[Cash]

I'd be like this in the background.

[Dani]

Like, like it reminds me.

[Ethan]

Haley said it reminds me of the little girl who's smiling in front of the burning house.

[Dani]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

That's literally Olivia was like a fresh dug grave.

[Dani]

Yeah, I love it. That's so cute. You know, that reminds me, I am like obsessed, obsessed with Ancestry.com right now. And I have been building my family profile. So every night is huge. So every night at like 2am I get on there and I start around with it.

[Ethan]

I'm obsessed with it.

[Dani]

Me too. I start looking at all my ancestors.

[Jennifer]

Graves and all that.

[Cash]

Oh yeah, I know who came over on the Mayflower.

[Ethan]

Both of our families came over on the Mayflower.

[Cash]

The councils in my family.

[Dani]

Really? How do you guys get to that level?

[Cash]

I'm in like the 16, 1500s.

[Ethan]

I'm in Wales.

[Dani]

I think you guys need to teach me because right now I'm kind of like, like going around and around. I mean I've been, I've had it for like five years that I've just.

[Ethan]

Been building even if you've had it for five years, building takes time because it has to like cross reference and make sure the hints, make sure you double check them.

[Dani]

I do.

[Ethan]

Okay.

[Dani]

Because I don't trust nobody. I got. I got. What? First of all, what the is a second cousin twice removed? What the does that mean? Because I've got a lot of them. Yeah, it's. I don't understand it.

[Ethan]

I don't.

[Dani]

Divorce me off. I'm like, why are you here? We don't. We're not even.

[Ethan]

Get out of my tree.

[Dani]

You were removed for a reason.

[Cash]

The branch.

[Dani]

Yeah. Twice.

[Ethan]

Yeah. Like, why are you giving you enough chances?

[Dani]

The coolest thing that I found though is like, you know, you guys know how I'm like obsessed with all things like mystical and ethereal and stuff like that. My family name that was married to my grandfather and my great grandfather was Spell. And that's why Nova's middle name is Spell, because. Yeah, their name was Spell. And I'm like, that's so cool. Like, how do. Like that. That was so perfect. You know, literally, like my great grandmothers and my grandmothers were their last name was Spell.

[Ethan]

So how far back into your descendants did someone immigrate to the United States?

[Dani]

I haven't gotten that far. So I've gotten. I finally found my dad's because. Okay. My whole family is a mystery. Nobody knows anything about either sides of my family. Like I'm having to start from scratch and figure this all out my self. My dad never talked about his dad. So I. I finally found him and who he married and all that stuff. And then I found his. His dad because they all have the same name. So it's like.

[Ethan]

Yeah, the best thing you can do is census.

[Dani]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

So do senses by name.

[Dani]

Yes.

[Ethan]

If you don't know anything about his side of the family and if they do have the same name. That's why I say be careful, because it happened to me. It was like cross referencing similar names.

[Dani]

Right, right. Yeah. No, I've caught on to that. But yeah, it's just been. It's really cool to just kind of like dive in and try to learn.

[Jennifer]

Where I'm from and who my family is.

[Ethan]

Stories. My dad didn't even know because he was a baby. So because of census and like you're talking about, my dad didn't know like a lot on a certain side of his family. I connected the dots with census and found out, like when my grandpa took my grandma because they were really young or she was very young, he was not. And like, took her to Southern California, away from her whole family, like, months after my dad was born. So it was just really crazy to connect timelines. I was like, dad, did you know you went down to Bakersfield? He was like, no. I was like, and this is who you lived with? Because they did a census and it was like, his brothers that house or something like that. The census is crazy. They'd be, like, giving out lots of.

[Dani]

I've seen newspaper clippings and, like, it's been crazy. I found my mom had a wedding announcement of my mom's been married a few times. I'm like, damn.

[Ethan]

Really?

[Dani]

Yeah. She had a lot.

[Ethan]

You had no idea.

[Dani]

I mean, I knew some of them, but some of them I didn't know.

[Jennifer]

Bill too.

[Dani]

There was another chick that he got married to that I didn't know about.

[Ethan]

You and I were looking at that, at Maria. Like, what is that?

[Dani]

I'm like, who's Maria?

[Cash]

Yeah. Does it say?

[Dani]

I'm still trying to figure it out.

[Ethan]

Yeah.

[Cash]

It should say when it did.

[Dani]

It did. And I mean, it fits a timeline. But I. My dad never talked about it. Never mentioned crazy.

[Ethan]

That's so wild. I love. I love deeping. Deep diving into, like, families and, like, finding finder graves and stuff.

[Dani]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

Sick.

[Dani]

Yeah. If you guys have any Ancestry.com recommendations.

[Jennifer]

Or tips, let us know below.

[Cash]

My, like, 12th or 13th, like, great grandfather on my dad's side, he was an astronomer that, like, basically, like. I don't know. He was like proto Copernican.

[Dani]

Yeah.

[Cash]

Like, worked with Copernicus, whatever. Like, all that, like, it went.

[Dani]

So he studied the stars.

[Ethan]

Yeah. He was like, yeah.

[Cash]

Crazy.

[Dani]

I found my family doesn't have anything cool.

[Cash]

He died in, like, 1587. Oh, yeah. That was like 1587. But then I found relatives that died.

[Dani]

In, like, hundreds right now. The what? I'm in the 1800s right now.

[Cash]

Wait till you get farther back.

[Dani]

Okay.

[Cash]

I have relatives that died in Shipwreck.

[Dani]

Wow.

[Cash]

Like, it tells me how they died.

[Ethan]

That's insane. I found, like, old family crazy emblems and stuff, which I think are really cool. And there's a house. It was actually not too far. That's, like, within the family name. And it's some kind of, like, monumental home that they is like, now a museum that I could go look at. And it's like a great, great grandfather.

[Dani]

That's crazy. That's insane. Yeah. I just feel like I'm such an orphan. Like, I don't. Like, I'm an orphan with parents, but it's like. Like I know nothing about my family. My family was so secretive on both sides. Well, my mom lied about everything, and then my dad just was a vault of secrets. So it's like I'm having to figure out this on my own.

[Ethan]

That's so cool, though. You get to, like, discover your own past.

[Dani]

Yeah, I guess. I mean, it seems like it's been kind of hard.

[Ethan]

Really? Cool show.

[Dani]

Yeah.

[Jennifer]

Light bulb just went on.

[Dani]

All right, I'm going to hug my cow. I gotta go.

[Cash]

Okay, bye.

[Dani]

Totally.

[Ethan]

Bye.
