Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Zane’s Travel Tales: Sweden, the Philippines & More

[02:54-29:20]

• Spam Call Chaos: Zane recounts receiving persistent, suspicious calls, unsure if it’s a scam or genuine Apple customer service ([02:54]).
• Getting Sick Abroad: After Australia, Zane detours to the Philippines, only to be bedridden for almost his entire stay due to illness ([04:59]).
• Language Barriers: Struggles to get medication in the Philippines due to language issues—everyone laughs about forgetting to use Google Translate.
• Sweden Dart Trip: Zane explains the group’s viral “throw a dart at the globe and go there” travel adventure, which led the gang to Sweden during winter ([09:05-14:50]):
  • "People gave me the job. That’s a lot of power...but I also know I’m pretty bad at throwing darts." (Zane, [10:02])
  • The group explores both the city (Stockholm) and snowy north, goes snowmobiling, and tries (then vetoes) dog sledding based on its ‘janky’ appearance.
• Impressions of Sweden:
  • Stockholm’s vibe is described as “very colorful, like London,” with expensive nightlife and all the locals being “tall, blonde, blue-eyed.”
  • The group unexpectedly runs into DJ Alesso in a nightclub after meeting a fan who jokingly called himself “Alaso” ([21:16]).
  • Food is underwhelming, even the famed IKEA meatballs ([22:25]).
  • “If you go to IKEA, that shit’s real. I could not tell the difference if this was Burbank.” (Zane, [23:04])
  • Reflections on connections to Sweden from David’s YouTube lore (the white table) and the Swedish music scene (Abba, Swedish House Mafia).
• Christmas Atmosphere: Christmas in Sweden was not as festive as NYC—more understated, with lights blending into the winter landscape.
• Swedes vs. Aussies: Healthy/fit comparison (“Australia, you would feel like shit, bro. Everybody is Matt shredded.” – Zane, [27:06])

2. Mariah Returns: Pregnancy & Birth Stories

Mariah joins: [29:40]

A. Welcome Back Mariah

• The guys celebrate Mariah’s return, compliment her post-baby glow and welcome her to the “future” with new podcast tech ([29:53]).
• Mariah: “I can’t get used—I'm talking to two robots. Isn’t it weird?" ([30:00])

B. Life With a Newborn

• Tony (the baby) is three weeks old. The first few weeks are “challenging... we have to learn about him and he has to learn about us.” ([31:10])
• The parents are self-described “type B” (laid-back), letting Tony hang out on the kitchen island while they eat dinner ([31:26]).
• Parallels to caring for their dog Dean: “We had to wind up this kid’s legs, let something out, burp him...” (Mariah, [32:09]).

C. Honest Pregnancy Reflections

• Mariah didn’t enjoy being pregnant: “I wouldn’t say I loved it... There’s people that are like, ‘I loved being pregnant.’ I didn't feel like that. I barely looked in the mirror. I was just in denial.” ([33:14])
• She stayed active, which she believes helped her have an easier pregnancy, but missed her usual energy.
• “My stomach was, like, the best part of me… I feel good about it, and it’s taken from me.” ([35:10])

D. The Birth Story: From TV Show to Delivery Room

[Starting at 36:48]

• Pre-labor anxiety: “Every day, I'm making sure my nails are done... After two weeks of doing that, I'm freaking exhausted. Like, nothing's happening.” (Mariah)
• When labor started, it wasn't a dramatic water breaking—“Not like the movie Surf’s Up, it was such a tiny amount… I called the doctor and she goes, ‘It was definitely urine.’ I said, ‘It definitely wasn’t because I examined it.’” ([41:08])
• Multiple calls to the doctor, confusion over whether labor had started.
• Labor at home for as long as possible. When contractions sped up, Heath and Mariah casually get ready, clean the house, do podcast ad reads (!), all while she’s going into labor ([45:36]).
  • Heath: “I was just like, run down, finish the paperwork, just come back up.” (Heath, [52:21])
• At the hospital, Mariah is 7 centimeters dilated upon arrival, and there’s a comedic, slightly chaotic handoff (“I arrived there 7 centimeters...they go, oh, you did most the work at home.” ([49:52])).
• She requests an epidural but there’s no time—the baby is coming fast.
  • "Are you planning on having the epidural? …Just give it to me. I’m throwing in the towel. Just give it to me.” (Mariah, [51:08])
• The experience is deeply vulnerable and awkward—Mariah says she didn't want all the lights, to be “spread eagle,” or to be looked at by strangers, but there was no time or privacy ([54:05, 60:08]).
• Mariah gives birth naturally within about 30 seconds of pushing—no epidural, minimal yelling.
  • “Giving birth is impossible…This is impossible.” (Mariah, [59:11])
  • “My eyes were closed the whole time...if I opened and saw how many people—just look at Heath.” (Mariah, [61:29])
• Hilariously mundane/humbling details: paperwork in active labor, hospital staff insisting on taking photos, a snarky nurse pestering her to take painkillers (“Just so you know, you don’t get an award for not taking any painkillers.” – Nurse, [71:44])
• Mariah finds the “lactation specialist” experience aggressive and overwhelming ([73:19]).

E. Deciding the Baby’s Name

• The couple did not have a name picked until two days after birth ([67:23]).
• Short list included Italian family names (Antonio, Nico, Valentino).
• Emotional breakthrough: When they say “Antonio Carlo Hussar” out loud, both parents start crying—validation that it’s the right name ([81:11]).
• Tony’s nicknames abound: “Tony Walnut,” “Tony Baloney,” “Tony the Tiger” (linking to a serendipitous tiger-pattern rug Mariah insisted on for the nursery long before he was named, [84:09]).
  • “That’s your answer. Like, you crying, is that validation—that’s the thing.” (Mariah’s mom, [81:19])

F. Early Parenthood

• Discuss sleep deprivation, nurses constantly checking on them, feeling like “babysitting.”
• Heath details obsessively picking up diaper and swaddle techniques from each nurse ([75:59]).
• Joys of having Mariah’s mom nearby for support (“She has a magic touch with babies”).
• The couple’s first Christmas at home (with Tony!), decorating stockings, and finally feeling like a real family.
• Humorous accidents: Tony’s “skin to skin” with Heath results in a fistful of chest hair ([91:04]).

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On being unprepared:
  “I pack for Florida, and that’s how I pack everywhere. Whatever I’m bringing to Florida, I just pack double Florida.” (Zane, [20:22])
• On labor at home:
  “I had to do the ad reads really quick. I’m like, Go, go, go! I’ll Swiffer the floors.” (Mariah, [45:52])
• On vulnerability during delivery:
  “Imagine, Zane, imagine the lights—spread eagle. Can you imagine people film this?” (Mariah, [60:14])
• On naming the baby:
  “We were like, Antonio, Carlo…and the three of us were frozen for a second…and then me and him lost it. My mom was like, ‘Well, there you go.’” (Mariah, [81:11])
• On the snarky nurse:
  “Just so you know, you don’t get an award for not taking any painkillers.” (Nurse, [71:44])
• On seeing their son:
  “Some days I’m like, whoa, that’s he.” (Heath, [90:50])
• On Mariah’s return:
  “I know you’re real busy with Tony.” (Zane, [93:10])
  “Yummy, yummy. Say I’m Mariah.” (Mariah, [93:21])

[D]

What it do? How are we?

[E]

Ice cube in the grill and it sucked them in the sand and the hustlers playing anthems. You know what I'm saying?

[D]

Yeah, I think so.

[C]

I think you got one word right.

[D]

Which is good because it won't get flagged at all.

[E]

That's a good thing about when I sing, we can never get flagged. Awesome. Heath, I'm so excited right now. Not because you're on. But the fact that you have an empty seat next to you, I know it's coming soon.

[D]

What does it mean?

[E]

I don't know. What does it mean? I have no idea. For the people you're just going to have to wait and see. And it's. It's going to. Guys, it's a hard guess. I mean, you're not going to get it.

[C]

It's going to be special. Yeah, it's going to be super special.

[E]

It's Tony sitting there.

[D]

He's already, like, sitting up. He's only been in this world for just like a couple of weeks, and he's just, like, fully able to hold a mic. Zane, do not disturb.

[E]

Yo, guys. All right, this is. I've had Apple, like, so it says on my phone, like, Apple card customer service. But at first I thought it was a spam call because I answered it once and it was like this lady that was like, hey, sir, so when are you gonna pay for your bill? And I've never heard of any brand, like, any customer service ever call me and go talk to me. Like, like, like it was my roommate.

[D]

Like, hey, what are you gonna, like.

[E]

Are you gonna pay for, like, this month's rent? Or like, she called me and asked me like that, and so I thought it was a weird spam call.

[D]

She's like, eating a sandwich just like. Yeah, sorry. So listen, we're just, I'm just calling.

[E]

They've called me. I'm not, I'm not even exaggerating. They've called me 250 fucking times in the past, like, month.

[D]

What have you not paid?

[E]

I have, I, I, I, I think I've paid my bill. I pay every month.

[D]

This is your phone bill or like, your phone bill? Like, you're paying off your phone?

[E]

I'm paying off my phone. You know when you, like, buy an app and you like, double click it and like, there's on your, like, Apple.

[D]

Yes. You're. It's.

[E]

It's that I'm like 5050 on if it's a real or not. A part of me feels like it's real. But, like, why, first of all, why are they calling me that much? I feel like not even the IRS calls me that much.

[C]

Like, yeah, so I've just been buying a bunch of gift cards and giving them the gift card codes.

[D]

Yeah, anytime, like something that is financial and they're calling it. I don't trust it. Like, I'm like, contact me, Zayn.

[E]

Don't show that bookie.

[C]

You good.

[D]

Did you just Spit in that cup. Yes.

[E]

I'm like, I. I'm getting off of sickness. I'm. This is like day one of like recovery. I've been as sick as a dog for the past four days. It's been honestly the worst cold or flu two days of my life. I don't know. I was, I was in Australia. I'll talk, I'll. I'll get into it. But like, I was in Australia and it was our last day and I was going to come back home and I was like, you know what?

[C]

Fuck it.

[E]

I'm just gonna fly to the Philippines because I have a couple more days before we record. It's like, I'm just, you know, you know, I'm gonna be spontaneous on the plane. By the way. It's a 12 hour detour from.

[C]

Away from home.

[E]

So I was like, I was really committing. I fly all the way to the Philippines. I land and I get the biggest fucking sickness. I was so sick, disgustingly. I get in the hotel and I'm bedridden. I didn't even get to see anything. I. My bed for like 30 hours straight. And I like, finally felt better. And I looked at my phone. I still, we still had like a day and a half left there. And I was like, you know what? I'm going home. It. I'm not staying here any second longer. Like, I was so frustrated. I hop on the plane and I fly back. And I never got to see the Philippines, no way. But I was in the Philippines.

[D]

Did you have any like Filipino medication? Like, do they have like Dayquil?

[E]

They don't have like. So every. All their medication in there. There's no pictures on there. You know how you go to the pharmacy here, you kind of see like.

[D]

You can see some nasal passages and you can guess.

[E]

Yeah. Even if it says like acetaminophen and like, it's like all this crazy. You know what you're getting because it has at least it gives you like context clues. Their was just all in a different language. Not only was it just text, but it was in their language. So I couldn't. So I didn't know what I was getting. And everybody that was asking there, they didn't really know English. And when I was like telling them like, you know, congestion, they're just like.

[C]

That's the word you picked, just sick.

[E]

What do you say?

[C]

Congestion?

[E]

Because I want it specifically for. Because there's different medications for different, like saying Google Translate.

[D]

Just say I'm feeling this and translate.

[E]

I could have. And I caught up And I did it.

[C]

You know what? You know what though, Matt? I do always forget that that's a thing that you can.

[E]

I really.

[C]

I didn't even cross my mind Google transl.

[D]

One time when I was in Italy, I was trying to find a safety pin, you know, like a safety pin. But it was like I was like, safety pen. And then finally I just had to like, just show them an image of what it was and they knew it. Exactly. I wouldn't even think to do that. Just images sometimes speak much louder than words.

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

How do you not. How does that not cross your mind? If I. It's like our grandpa, like our grandparents, they say something stupid. They're like, wait, how do you do this? You're like, it's literally right here, grandma. This is how you do it. I feel like I am turning into that for newer shit.

[C]

Like Zane. Zane likes the game of it though.

[D]

He want.

[E]

He.

[D]

He likes the puzzle that needs to get solved.

[C]

Like, Zayn sees it as a game of charades when it comes to being in another country. He's like acting it out, trying to.

[E]

Get him to guess it. I genuinely completely forgot about like, Translate. Google Translate.

[C]

I honestly, I wouldn't have thought.

[E]

No, there's.

[D]

He.

[E]

There's even an app where if you go on your camera and you go over the word, it will translate it too immediately. Didn't think about that. Forgot about that. I literally didn't think about that until you fucking said it.

[C]

Zayn's using it in Australia where, like.

[D]

We speak Eng of sh.

[C]

I don't know, say to the Australians, congestion.

[D]

Like Vegemite. I don't understand what you're saying. You know, this isn't Philippines, but, you know, like Thailand. Those Thai inhalers, have you ever seen them?

[E]

It's. It's the nose.

[D]

It's not like a.

[E]

It's. It's a. It's a little. It's not like a vapor rub thing.

[D]

It almost looks like smelling salt. And it's in the green.

[E]

They have it there too.

[D]

Did you smell it? Have you ever used it? I've been dying to try these. The Thai inhaler.

[E]

Yeah, it literally.

[D]

What does it smell like?

[E]

It honestly just smells like essential oils. Like in a sense, like herbally, like very herbally. Earthy. Essential oily. Like, like every. I mean, even in. Yeah, in Bangkok, everybody had one of these.

[D]

I know, I just been dying. I'm on this like, side of like Thai inhaler. Tick tock.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

And people are just hitting them.

[E]

They should have them Here too. But I think we have our own version in some way. But it's. I don't think it's as healthy.

[D]

I think they're really good in like, humid environments too. Like, if it's just hot and hum. Which it is a lot in Thailand, people just. It just wakes them up and makes them feel. We got some eucalyptus and menthol.

[C]

Yes.

[D]

A lot of other stuff, but yeah.

[E]

No, dude, last time. Last time we talked, I was. What do you call last time we talked? I was about to go to Sweden.

[D]

Sweden.

[E]

But I didn't. I. Did I tell you I was going to Sweden or.

[D]

But I don't know if we cut it out. You were like, I don't know if.

[E]

I can say, oh, okay. Well, I didn't want to ruin the element of the, The, The. The fun surprise of me, like, throwing it. So I threw a dart at a globe. Right. A lot of you guys seen this already, but I threw a door at a spinning globe, which was so fucking terrifying because we were like going to commit to wherever it was real.

[C]

What if it was in the middle of the ocean?

[E]

It was either. It was either Afghanistan. If it lands either in the ocean or like North Korea. We're like, okay, we're going to redo this dart spin. But if it lands on land somewhere where we're allowed to travel.

[D]

Democracy.

[E]

We have to. We're democracy. Then we have to, like, commit. We have. Even if it was like the middle of the fucking nowhere we're going to go and. Which I was terrified. People gave me the job.

[C]

That's a lot of power.

[E]

That's a lot of power. But. But I also know I'm. I'm pretty bad at throwing darts. Right. But I knew that I wanted to throw it at the top of the globe. Why? I wanted it to be fun.

[D]

Yeah.

[E]

You know, I didn't want, like, I wanted to go somewhere really cold and I was like, oh, that could be really fun. But, like, I. I didn't think about, like, what was up there. I was just kind of like, I'm gonna throw it up and see where it lands. And I know there's like a lot of ocean up there too. So in my head I was like, it might just land in the ocean, then I'll just throw somewhere else.

[D]

Yeah.

[E]

But I throw it and it lands right in Sweden. I, like, could not. I forgot Sweden was even up there because it landed there. And I was like, oh, my God, like Greenland. And. And it was Sweden. It was Sweden. I was like, oh, my God. You know, I've always wanted to go to Sweden, but now I get to go because I threw a dart there, and that's where we went. And we were. We flew all the way to Sweden.

[D]

Wait, do we want to pause and run the intro to hear more about it?

[E]

Yeah. Oh, good call.

[D]

I just. If we're about to dive in, I think we should kick this off. Oh, are you okay?

[C]

Watch your head.

[D]

Oh, my gosh, you're bleeding.

[E]

I've hit my head so many times in my life. All right, let's go.

[C]

I didn't go. Grab the alley pop. It's coffee toe, baby.

[E]

Let's go.

[D]

Oh, my God.

[E]

Welcome back to Zany Heath Unfiltered. I'm Zayn.

[C]

I'm Heath.

[D]

I'm Matt.

[E]

And we are here.

[C]

Come on now.

[E]

And we are here for a good time.

[D]

That's right.

[E]

But yeah. Okay, so what did I do? Where was I?

[D]

The dart lands on Sweden. You're going to Sweden. How many is the whole gang? Go. I know it was like, David, Natalie.

[E]

Everybody that went was everybody that was in the video except for, like, Jonah. Jonah was supposed to go, but he, like, backed out a little. I think the only reason why. The only way he would go is if we were going somewhere, like, like, two hours away if we land in, like, Cabo. But, like, I mean, I also was not too keen learning new words from Australia. I wasn't too keen flying all the way to fudgeing Sweden, because Sweden is like. It was like a 15 hour flight, and we were only there for two days, so it was like. It was a lot of traveling for such a little. And I'm sure you're used to this. If I feel like you did this with Alton all the fucking time. You try.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[E]

Only for a couple days. And you would leave. But, yeah, it was, like, really, really tired. We went all the way to Sweden, and it came all the way back.

[D]

And in the thick of winter, too. Like, it's December.

[E]

We. So when we got to. We flew into Stockholm, it. It looked. It did not look like how I was imagining it. I was imagining it to look like what it looked like when we flew to. We flew north of Sweden to this really, really fucking snowy area. It looked like rush out there was crazy. That's what I thought it was gonna look like when we flew into sw. Yeah. But Stockholm was, like. It was really beautiful. It, like, reminded me of, like, of London. It was just really, like, very colorful, right?

[D]

Like, all the buildings, a lot of. Bunch of different colors and Stuff the.

[E]

Architecture, like with all the building was really, really nice.

[D]

It was my motherland. I mean, that's where my ancestors came from. Yeah. On my mom's side.

[E]

What percentage are you?

[C]

My mom's side is probably Norwegian too.

[D]

My mom's, I think like half Swedish. So I'm like a quarter. I don't know.

[E]

Which makes sense because everybody there, and including the ladies, all tall.

[D]

All tall. Blonde, blue eyed.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

I thought you had a nice little time with a Swedish lady.

[E]

Yes, but she wasn't tall.

[C]

She was short.

[D]

What was her name?

[E]

I don't want to say her name. I don't want to put her, I don't want to put her out like that. But we, we, I met her. She messaged me on Raya when I was out there. And we just, we decided to meet up and we party. It was, it was awesome. It was really fun. What do you call it? We, what did we do out there?

[D]

Is it expensive? I heard like, it's Sweden or maybe it's somewhere else. Maybe it's Switzerland. Like is a beer. Like, it's like concert. It's a music festival. Prices on like everything.

[E]

Yeah, yeah, it was, it was pretty, it was pretty pricey out there.

[D]

Like a pint is like 14 bucks or something like that.

[E]

It was definitely pricier than we expected. And when we, but when we went out to. And when we went out to like the. Sorry, I, I, I'm gonna say Corinna. I'm just gonna say Corinna because it was like, it was sounded something like that.

[D]

That's safe. That's pretty.

[E]

It's like Karina, Karina, Karina. Something like that. When we went to Karina, it was out there. Even, even out there was expensive too. Like to go out in the snow to like do the helicopter ride.

[D]

Yeah.

[E]

We wanted to go somewhere snowy, so we went to Corinna and we took a helicopter to the top of a mountain. Because we just thought we wanted to be on top of a mountain in the middle of nowhere. Just like for, just for a shot. We get there and we decided this was not planned. Look at our, our location. And our location was exactly where we, I, I threw the dart at.

[C]

That's like crazy.

[E]

It was around the same exact area and it felt so good. And it was not planned at all. That was like one part where we're like, we did not plan this. This is actually really sick.

[D]

How freezing was it? Was it super cold? Was it pretty?

[E]

It was not. It wasn't as cold as it looked.

[C]

It Looked really cold.

[E]

It looked really cold, but it wasn't that cold. But it was still like. Like Ilya, dude. Ilya fucking.

[F]

We.

[E]

There was. Dude, they had an ice plunge in the lake. It was. It's in the lake, but they like, block it off.

[C]

I got scared when he jumped in. A lot of. There's currents under there. You could get sucked under that ice hole. Dude, when he went completely under my heart.

[E]

No, Heath, Heath, they block it off. They. It's like a. It's in the lace, but it's an encased.

[D]

Like a shark.

[E]

Okay. Yeah, no, no, I don't think they would ever have that there. Yeah, no, that's it. Terrifying. Oh my. What a fucking nightmare. Like going underwater and then you can't find your way back off.

[C]

No, I would hate.

[E]

Anyways. Yeah, but we. We did that. We went snowballing. Snowmobiling, which I'll never do again. That's a one once in a lifetime thing that you do.

[C]

It feels funny.

[D]

I like it. I love snowmobiling.

[E]

Okay, so I think the reason why I hated it was I didn't wear the correct. I was supposed to wear a covering.

[D]

Like a bar and clava.

[E]

Yeah, they didn't give one. They didn't give. Give us one to wear or they didn't say, like, you really need to wear one. But we didn't wear one, right, bro, we were riding out for maybe 20 minutes. Heath, I swear, I, like, I ended up stopping in the middle of the ride because I thought I was about to die. Like, I thought I was about to get hypo.

[C]

You couldn't breathe, dude.

[E]

I couldn't breathe. It was all in my face. Like, there's. There was icicles forming in my brain. I thought I was going to pass away.

[C]

I saw the video. Was your mouth and like, face that frozen that you couldn't talk?

[E]

My whole face was frozen. It was numb. Like, it was. Dude, numb frozen. I couldn't move my face. I couldn't move. Couldn't feel it.

[C]

That's crazy.

[E]

It was crazy. I could not move at all. The way I was talking was real. Like, that was not exaggerated. Like, never again. Never again.

[D]

Were you guys like on a trail or were you guys like free ranging over?

[E]

Like, they had somewhat of a trail, but it like, again, it felt like you're in the middle of nowhere. It was wild. It was just like this family that kind of owned this like whole, like, cabin area. And then we had like a tour guide that literally reminded me of my dad. He was fucking Nuts. He was crazy, but he was great. And we did that. We went on the helicopter ride. We were gonna go dog mobiling. Snow dog.

[D]

Yes, snow.

[E]

What's it called? I think it's called dog sledding dog. Yeah, but it's funny because you imagine it in your head. Exactly how you imagine it. Imagine dog sliding in your head.

[C]

You did like a full Iditarod.

[E]

Yes. It's. It's supposed to be a full. Like you, you, you see like eight dogs and you're on a sled. You're sitting.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dude, it's so cool.

[E]

It's supposed to look like the movies, but then when we looked out and saw one of them, bro, it was like two dogs and you were standing up on this thing. It looked janky. We're like, oh, fuck that, we're not doing.

[D]

Keith and I went dog sledding, right? Yeah, yeah, we did. In Montana, I think. Yeah, it was. We were with like Tyler, Cameron and Todd. It was like some smeared off brand deal. I loved it. I thought it was really cozy. I think it was like Todd, we.

[C]

Were like, we were, we were like tucked in just like in this little bucket leaning back. The dogs were moving and then there was like solo dogs that would run alongside of us to like make sure they were in check. Oh, dude, it was crazy.

[E]

Yeah. So even. It didn't even look that cool. Like there was only two dogs. They, they didn't have, they didn't have much.

[D]

And those dogs are vicious. Like when they're just like sitting there, they're ready. Cute dogs.

[E]

Really.

[D]

They're ready to go. My only thing I would just give a heads up about dog sledding, it's a poop. Because the dogs kind of like poop as they're running.

[E]

And so you're just starting and then.

[D]

You'Re sledding over dog and it's just, it just smells like dog poop.

[E]

But you know what? What?

[C]

They're.

[E]

I mean, they're running.

[D]

I know they are. You know, horses got to poop when they, you know, go around.

[E]

Do horses poop when they're running? Yeah. Or they are. They more like. They're more classier than that.

[D]

I just. The dogs poop while they're running and it just happens.

[C]

Why was there never horse sledding? I feel like.

[E]

Because I feel like they would just slip on. They wouldn't be able or. No, no, no. Not slipping the eyes.

[D]

I think you would need like a certain type of horse, like a Clydesdale horse that's like Built for the snow.

[C]

But imagine like eight horses in a line and you're behind that.

[E]

You know how fast you' go.

[D]

Wow.

[C]

You want to get somewhere, do it that way.

[E]

They wouldn't even be able to catch up with each other. They would just. Half of them would just start sliding or like. Yeah.

[D]

Horseshoe snowshoes.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

Like. Oh, I guess it does happen. It is possible. Horse can pull, but those are Clydesdales. Oh, the ones that have the really hairy feet. Those are like ones built for snow, like the Budweiser.

[E]

Why the Have I never seen that in my childhood life? Like, you know what I always wanted to do?

[C]

Familiar the. You know, the tennis racket shoes for walking on snow. I've always wanted to put a pair on.

[D]

Yeah. Bring those back.

[C]

That is so cool.

[E]

What is that? That's for walking on snow. Walking on.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

So you're not like, fully sinking into the snow. Every time it gives you, like, a.

[C]

Bigger footprint so you're not falling through. It makes it spreads it out so you got more surface area.

[E]

Before we got on the helicopter, bro, we were like, knees deep in trying to, like, catch after that.

[D]

Did you have to buy, like, a bunch of clothes before to make sure you were good ago or did you.

[E]

Oh, I was good for. I was good for Sweden. I packed a lot.

[D]

Okay.

[E]

For Sweden. And normally I'm like, really bad with that, but I. I pack good. I was. I was prepared for that, but I was not prepared for my pants. I always forget something. Right. Like, I was really good for the top, but then I like, I had shorts. I had like.

[C]

You didn't have, like. Like a waterproof snowboard pant? No, he.

[E]

Yeah, I just like, I don't think about that type of. You know, I only think about. Okay, I know how to dress for Florida and that's how I dress for everywhere. I like, whatever I'm bringing to Florida, I just pack double Florida so I can.

[C]

Okay. Two PA of shorts.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

How is the nightlife?

[E]

Terrible, Terrible, terrible.

[D]

Just like, not a good vibe or.

[E]

Everybody there also thinks that too. The people that live there, they all say, oh, terrible nightlife here. I'm like, oh, wow, that's. That's like. I'm surprised that everybody.

[D]

Swedish House Mafia, right? You know, where's the sweetest mafia?

[E]

You know, it's funny. They. They actually ended up dming David. They're like, oh, come by to the studio.

[D]

Shut up.

[C]

But they know. No way. So they just fully live out there.

[D]

There.

[C]

Yeah. Like, that's. That's real.

[E]

Yeah, that's real. They were. I mean, they were out there at the time. I don't know if they lived there or not, but they were definitely out there at the time.

[D]

Because all the best pop songs are, like, written by, like, Swedish producers, like Max Martin, right?

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

I think a lot of good pop is from.

[E]

What's really funny that happened was we. We went out to dinner, and we. There was. There was a fan that, like, was waiting for us outside of the restaurant, and we were about to. We leave, and he's like, hi, I saw you were here, so I came to stop by. He was so sweet about, like, hey, how you doing? He's like, hi, my name is Alaso. But not like, the D day. Like, oh, that's so funny, huh? Hey, how you doing? Not an hour later, we go out to a nightclub. Who's at the table?

[C]

And Alessa was also. Whoa, shut up.

[E]

Alessa, the dj was there literally an hour later. Like, what? But we find out he's Swedish, too, so it's like. It's not surprising that he was there. But, like, still, it was very crazy that that happened in our apartment.

[C]

Sweden's where it's at, it sounds like, but it's.

[E]

I think it's very. Like, everybody knows everybody there. Like, everybody's there.

[C]

That makes sense.

[E]

In Sweden. Swedish people are in Sweden.

[C]

The Lego, like, main headquarter in Sweden.

[D]

I know ikea.

[E]

IKEA is.

[C]

I know IKEA is. But I don't know why I thought Lego was too Denmark.

[D]

That's in Denmark. Denmark, Close. I mean, it's in the fjords. How was the food?

[C]

Good. Meatballs?

[E]

It was all right. It was all right. Like, I give it a minute. We also, like, I don't think we picked the best restaurants.

[D]

Right?

[E]

It was kind of like. Like, we picked whatever was available or whatever was around, which that's why I don't want to. I don't want to judge too much on the food, but we did go to IKEA because we're like, their meatballs are gonna be the best.

[D]

Yeah.

[E]

At the hq, ikea, same thing. We walked in. It literally felt like we're at Burbank. We're like, really? If. Dude, I dead ass. When you walk in Burbank.

[C]

Hey, at least, you know, they keep it the same everywhere. We're getting the genuine experience out here.

[E]

Dude, it was crazy. Exactly. And, dude, it. Yes, it is funny. You're getting the genuine experience out here.

[D]

Yeah.

[E]

You go to ikea, that shit's real.

[D]

I could not tell the difference. If this Was Burbank.

[E]

No, it was crazy. And we inside. Everybody inside Taurus.

[D]

Oh, really?

[E]

You would think that everyone in there. Sweet. And nobody. Nobody's interested.

[D]

People who had the same idea and thought they were gonna get something special.

[E]

Exactly. But did I.

[D]

So I think I watched a bit of the vlog, but Alex got to, like, reunite with his little table.

[E]

His last white table smash. Which is crazy. It's all these things that, like, make like. That went along with my dart throw, right?

[C]

Yeah, it is weird.

[E]

Else is a Swedish. A Swedish abba.

[D]

Oh, yeah. Obviously.

[E]

Isn't that so weird that it landed in Sweden? But, like, we have, like, the white table.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Like, dancing Queen. All of the whole David lore. Yeah.

[E]

It's like we kept throwing the dart until it hit Sweden.

[D]

Yeah.

[E]

It's like, it's. It's so wild how it worked out.

[D]

It was meant to be.

[E]

It always works out in David. Like, it always works out for David's video.

[C]

So annoying.

[D]

It.

[E]

It's crazy. But, like. Yeah, we thought that was really cool how that, like, worked out.

[D]

Oh, I remember on Amazing Race when they were in Sweden, they went to the IKEA headquarters and the challenge was you either had to count a whole bunch of teddy bears or you had a build of furniture set. What would you do?

[C]

Give me the furniture.

[D]

What would you do?

[E]

Build a set, obviously.

[C]

Give me. Give me the furniture. For sure.

[D]

Easy. Good. And that's the what you should do. Everyone in on the show, a lot of them did the counting of the teddy bears because they thought that would be.

[E]

I would. I would up.

[D]

No, they all started losing their minds counting. And if you submitted the wrong number of the wrong count, you had count and start all over again.

[E]

IKEA furniture is the easiest furniture to build from any.

[C]

When you're holding that little Allen key or that wrench, you'd be dropping bolts.

[D]

And like a buddy. And you open it up because there's no written directions. It's all visual, which is pretty clever. But there's always, like, another guy who's with it. And you need someone else to set the furniture up with. You can't do it, like, solo for.

[E]

Depending on what it is. Yeah, for sure. But was it. Oh, it was like a whole set. Like, it would be like a bed, a dresser.

[D]

So I remember it looked kind of complicated where people were like, that looks like it's going to take up a lot of time. Let's do the teddy bear.

[E]

He give me the mom. I'll build that in five minutes. The whole mom said it's a good one.

[C]

We've done it a few times. You know, you kinda bro.

[E]

That was my whole life for seven years.

[D]

Mom. Mom. All my furniture go to mom.

[E]

Go to M A L. Oh, trust.

[D]

Me, I know how everyone had a mom.

[E]

Bed should be everybody's first bed.

[D]

I still have this is affordable, strong.

[E]

I mean you can't definitely. You build it once. You can't.

[C]

But did you. Did you opt for the glass top? Cuz I had that glass top with those little rubber, little stickies on the. On the end so it didn't slide off.

[E]

But you're supposed to heath because like what you put a drink on there. If there's a ring of death on there, you're. Yeah, you need the glass. That's when you had budget. You knew that had budget.

[C]

When you have the glass, I'm like, yeah, I'll do the glass top for each of them.

[D]

Who enjoyed. Out of the whole group, who enjoyed Sweden the most? Or was anyone just like. I actually love it here.

[E]

I think everybody. I think everybody enjoyed it.

[D]

Yeah.

[E]

Together. Yeah. It was just like a. I think, I think also just the idea of how we got there, I think we all just enjoyed it more. We're just like. It's so stupid that we're all here because of a dart.

[D]

Was it Christmassy there? Like, you know, I feel like America. We go very hard with Christmas decorations.

[E]

Nothing like New York.

[D]

Okay. So it wasn't like Christmas trees and lights everywhere.

[E]

Had lights everywhere. But it didn't feel like, like cozy.

[D]

Cozy American Christmas when.

[E]

When you saw. You're like, oh, this feels like it looks like this all year round. Ah, I see that type of.

[C]

It didn't feel seasonal.

[D]

It just felt like it fits the setting.

[E]

It fit the setting exactly. Like if they didn't have the Christmas tree there, it would have felt like, oh, Sweden is lit very nicely, you know. But you didn't get like big Santa reindeers everywhere. Like you didn't. Candy canes everywhere. You didn't see all that. They did have those giant reindeers though.

[D]

You said people were really tall. People also like really fit. Like, like, like. Did everyone like look very healthy?

[E]

I guess not Sweden, dude. And everybody was just tall in Sweden. Australia, you would feel like shit, bro. Everybody. Everybody is Matt shredded. You didn't see one person that did not. That did not look.

[D]

Yeah, they all got a sport, you know, they can't.

[E]

And it wasn't like roided shredded. It was like they eat really good out there.

[D]

Wait, you know what? Before we get into Australia. I think we have someone joining us right now.

[C]

Should we have our special guest on.

[E]

Yes, let's do it.

[D]

We love you.

[E]

Oh my God. Wow. She's back, y'. All.

[D]

She's back. Mariah, welcome back.

[F]

Amazing. We missed you.

[E]

We missed you so much.

[D]

I'm sorry, girl.

[C]

Did you have a baby?

[D]

Because you look fantastic. You look like you did not even.

[F]

Thank you.

[E]

You look great, Mariah. And congratulations.

[F]

This is. I can't get used. I'm talking to two robots.

[E]

Isn't it weird? Welcome to the future.

[F]

Do they know you got these stands?

[C]

I told them. Right?

[F]

So wild.

[C]

Hey, doesn't it feel like we're in the room with them.

[F]

Yeah. This is weird, right?

[E]

When I said I was going to come visit Tony, this is how I met.

[F]

Yeah, we'll wheel you upstairs.

[C]

That would be funny. We just keep Zayn on this.

[F]

Yeah, hilarious.

[C]

That's how we push him around.

[E]

Tony knows me. Bring up the laptop.

[D]

Well, Mariah, how are you feeling? How's life?

[F]

Good.

[C]

Good.

[F]

Matt, how are you? How's the cancer?

[E]

We're all getting so old.

[C]

That's how. That's how long it's been since she's recorded.

[E]

Tony's. Tony's what now? Two weeks. Three weeks old.

[D]

Old.

[F]

He's three weeks old today.

[E]

Three weeks old today. Oh, my God. Happy three weeks.

[C]

It has flown by. Yeah, it's wild.

[E]

Has it been. Has it been tough? Has it been. Has it been easy? Easier than you expected? Just like the waking up every night or just like, the times you have to feed him and just like the. Just everything.

[F]

I don't. It hasn't been easy. It's definitely challenging because we have to figure out. He has to learn about us and we have to learn about him. So we have to kind of, like, figure out how to get on the same page and, like, get a groove. And I feel like the groove is just beginning now.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

Like, the past few days, we're, like, trying to get.

[D]

Here.

[F]

He just got. He has no idea what's out there. No idea. He's. He's a stupid thing.

[C]

Can't figure it out.

[F]

But it's fun. It's fun to be able to, like, we could do whatever we want.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

I think we're realizing we're very type B with him.

[C]

Just go with the flow, you know?

[F]

He's on the kitchen island. I'm like, he likes it.

[E]

I was trying to, like, what's an example of, like, a type B, like, thing that you're doing with him?

[C]

Like, he's just on the table while we're eating dinner. Like, it's just like. I don't know, it's very. Just laid back.

[E]

You're doing exactly what you're doing with Dean. Yeah, that I'm noticing.

[F]

It's really like, my mom was getting annoyed because I kept. I was like, I'm not comparing him to an animal. But, like, I was like, I know it's different, but everything we're doing with him, we had to do with Dean. Like, we had to stimulate Dean to go to the bathroom. We have to wind up this kid's legs, let something out, burp him. We were burping Dean Like, I was like.

[C]

And it was a good warm up.

[F]

We had to feed Dean every one to two hours. So that was even harder with him. We're doing like every three hours or something like that.

[E]

So are you feeding Tony like fancy fees? Like you're doing the same thing with.

[F]

He likes chicken cutlets.

[D]

Oh, Mariah, though, just like backpedal because I feel like we didn't even get to hear much from you throughout pregnancy itself. How was it just being pregnant in general? Was it what you thought it would be? Was it tough? Was it?

[C]

Oh yeah. We weren't really. While you were pregnant.

[D]

Oh yeah, well, yeah, cuz like, yeah, not like in, you know, serious stage of pregnancy. So was it everything you thought it would be? Did it suck?

[F]

I wouldn't, I wouldn't say I loved it. There's people that are like, I loved being pregnant. Like, it was. This sounds a little sad, but I didn't feel like, like I don't think I touched my stomach. My whole. I wasn't, I wasn't one of these at all. I didn't know what to expect. I didn't. I didn't think I was going to be like that. And I wasn't like that. Like, I wasn't. I barely looked in the mirror. I was just in denial. I think it's because I'm active and like the dancing and everything and like I'm just so used to being able to bounce around the house and like, oh, I forgot this let me run into this room. When I started slowing down, I was getting annoyed. I was just like, this is. I can't like have the energy that I'm so used to having. Even simple things. Just like if I'm leaning back just like this getting up now, I could do it.

[D]

Yeah.

[F]

Getting up was a whole.

[C]

It was like because you, you couldn't engage your core.

[F]

I couldn't engage my core. I'm so used to being able to like flex my muscles and to help me this. I was like, mother, you had a suitcase. It was like, it got annoying. Very annoying towards the end. Like, I was like, I'm so over this. Like.

[E]

But you know, I. I feel like, like on the Internet all we see is pregnant women talking about how much they love like that. I feel like that's all I see. But like, you know, I feel like a lot of women are just like you, Mariah, where you just like can' mirror or like you're just waiting for this thing to come out. I feel like it's good to hear that side, too, because I feel like you don't.

[F]

Yeah, it. I'm very grateful I did have an easy pregnancy. I will say I never got sick.

[D]

Oh, that's nice.

[F]

Yeah, I didn't feel that hormonally, like, panic or different. Right. I didn't feel different. I didn't go through, like, a depressed stage. Like, I just.

[C]

You seemed like yourself.

[F]

I still myself, just physically. I was like, oh, God. Like, because, you know, my stomach was, like, the best part of me. Like, Like, I was so, like, insecure about everything else. I was like, you know what? My body's the one thing that I'm kind of, like, I feel good about, and it's taken from me.

[E]

But you know what, Mariah? It's so good that you were fit because I actually looked it up because you were so fit, it made the whole pregnancy, like, a lot easier for you and better.

[F]

Yeah, I hope that's the reason. I hope that's the reason. I don't watch what I eat. That's for sure.

[D]

How, how was just delivery itself of, like, birthing a baby? Was that everything you thought it would be? Was it painful? Did you hate it?

[C]

Like, how so I, I did it.

[E]

Tell us your thoughts. How was it?

[C]

Yeah, yeah, I did a quick, very, very brief speed run for Zayn in the last episode. Matt, I wish I could have, like, we had you on for that one. So we'll, we'll just rip through it again and just get everybody. I, I just wanted this to come from Mariah because it was such a fun, fun experience. I had a blast.

[F]

No, it was like.

[C]

No, it was funny.

[E]

Over.

[F]

We just kept looking at each other like, holy. Yeah. We were like, this is nuts, right? Like, how is this possible? We went through it and we still don't understand how it's possible. Yeah, I, I, I went through it and I'm like, I don't know how people do that. And I did it. Like, it's, it was crazy.

[E]

Can you please, can you please start with when you guys were. I think this is the best time to start when you guys are watching TV and you were like, days before, you're about to. You're expecting and something happened. Happened.

[F]

The due date was the 13th, so I was anticipating two weeks before that because my sister delivered two weeks early. So I'm like, it could happen any day. So I'm making sure my nails are done. I am prepped. Hospital bag not ready, but nails done every day. I'm doing an everything shower. Like, I am preparing after two weeks of doing that. I'm like, I'm freaking exhausted. Like, nothing's happening. And everyone I was asking, like, my mom, my sister, the doctor, of course the doctor. Doctor was like, the last resort. Am I supposed to be feeling anything? Is there anything? Like, will I know? And they're like, you'll know. Everyone said the same thing. You'll know. You'll know. You'll know. I'm like, all right. So every day, I'm like. In my head, I'm like, ooh, is that a little something? But I had, like a. Maybe like a little gas. Like, oh, he.

[E]

I think I feel something. No, you just suited. So you're just thirsty. That's my favorite. You just thought stupid, though.

[F]

Like, you'll know. You'll know. Because like I said, I fortunately had a very good pregnancy. I didn't have any pain throughout my whole pregnancy. I didn't feel. I didn't have any cramping. Like, nothing. So I didn't know.

[E]

Know.

[F]

They were like, oh, it's different than a cramp. And I was like, well, I haven't had a cramp, so I don't know what I'm feeling for. So I was making jokes, but, like, underlining, we kind of figured. I was like, I have a feeling I'm just gonna be home, and it's just gonna. Like, I'm gonna give birth or something.

[C]

Like, it happens while you're asleep.

[E]

You just wake up.

[F]

I was like, I'm not gonna know I'm in labor. I. I just know it. But everybody said, I knew I would know. So we're sitting there watching tv, and something happened. I didn't know what. And I was like, oh, that was different. So let me go to the bathroom. I was like, this is new. Like, something new happened. So I went to the bathroom, came back out, and at first, I didn't say anything. I was just still watching. And then I leaned over and I said, I think something happened. And he goes, really? Really? And I'm just like, yeah, but we could finish. Like, yeah, we could keep watching. I was like, I'll just wait and see if anything else happens. And it didn't. But I knew this was something new. And I'm like, maybe I'm googling. And I'm. Thank God my sister was awake because this was really late. And I told. I explained to her. She goes, it could have been your water. It could have been nothing. And I was just like, okay, okay. So I think it was my water breaking, because it was something that's never Happened before. And it was more than what usually I don't want to.

[D]

Yeah, whatever.

[C]

But also, supposedly it's still.

[F]

It was such a tiny amount. It's not like it wasn't like the movie Surf's Up. Yeah. Such a tiny amount. I called the doctor because they said, if you think you're going into labor, call the doctor. That's what they told me. So I call this doctor. Sounds like first I had to leave a message.

[C]

Yeah, two.

[F]

Two messages. They finally get back to me, and it sounds like she just woke up because this is the on call. So you tell them what's happening, and then they relay it to your midwife, Dr. Whoever.

[E]

What time was it?

[C]

10 is when it happened. It broke. And then you called maybe, like, 11.

[F]

11. Ish.

[D]

Okay. Okay.

[F]

So I call and I explain what happened, and she's just like.

[E]

Like.

[F]

Who'S your doctor? And I told her the name. I said, my midwife is blank. And she goes, okay, well, she. What's the word?

[E]

Oh, I.

[C]

Provider.

[F]

Provider. She goes, she's a provider. And I'm like, I. I don't know. I was like, this is okay. This is just. And then I said it again. I said, well, my midwife told me this. And she goes, goes, she's a provider. And I'm like, okay, it doesn't matter.

[C]

I'm going into labor.

[F]

Let me know. So she asks me questions about what happened, and she goes, well, was it consistent? And I said, no. And she goes, then it was just urine. I said, it wasn't just urine. It doesn't matter what she was asking. She was asking me questions, and I was like, no. She goes, okay, it was definitely urine. I said, it definitely wasn't because I examined it.

[D]

Yeah.

[F]

And she goes, well, call us back when. If.

[C]

If it. If it becomes consistent.

[F]

If it becomes consistent, call us back. And I'm like, all right, thanks. Good night. So I hang up the phone, and it happens again. But it's not consistent. It just. Something happens again for a. Like a second, and I'm like, this is not normal. I know my body. This has never happened.

[E]

It's a broad term. I don't think that's the right word, that. That.

[F]

That, like, everybody's body is different. And I've looked up when your water breaks, it can break in different ways. It can, like, be consistent. It could come in, like, trickle, whatever.

[E]

Yeah.

[F]

So I was like, I'm not calling that bitch. I was like, I know.

[E]

So.

[C]

So I went to bed.

[F]

So we went. So we went to bed. I said, you know, I'm gonna sleep on it. So we went to bed. I got up at 3:30 and I was texting my mom and my sister and I was like, it happened a third time time. And they were like, okay, it's your water breaking. But they're like, me. And they were just like, you have time. Like, you can labor at home for as long as you can handle it, Whatever.

[D]

Oh.

[F]

So.

[C]

So we did.

[F]

Because my sister labored at home until she was three to five minutes apart because her midwife, she was on the phone with her midwife and she was just like, you're still good to stay home if you want. You're still good to stay home if you want. And she was. Everything was fine.

[B]

That's crazy.

[D]

In three to five minutes apart is like contractions. Like you're feeling. What is it? What is that sens like or like?

[F]

So I wasn't getting contractions yet.

[D]

Oh, okay.

[F]

At this point, I wasn't getting contractions. And I'm like, when the hell are these contract? Like when my water break. Are we good?

[C]

Cheers. Mookie.

[F]

I. I could have been contracting, and I wasn't feeling it. And I was like, this was my fear that I wasn't gonna feel the beginning of the contractions. So finally I was like, okay, I feel a little crampy, like something. I'm feeling something sharp. So I told Heath because they said, start timing it. And I was like, just time. Whatever this thing is, like, whatever's happening, just time it. And it was 10 minutes.

[C]

I think the first time I timed it, I think it was like 13 or 15 minutes. And then we just kept going until.

[F]

It got to 10, and then out of nowhere, it jumped from the three to five mark. And I'm like, oh, it happened quick. It happened quick. So I heard you were telling them that you went and did ad reads.

[C]

We got Starbucks still so casual, because.

[F]

I woke him up at 4 o' clock clock, and I said, I think we're probably gonna go today. If you want to get up and shower, we'll just start the day and we'll just go with the flow and see what happens. So I. Now I'm last minute packing the hospital bag. I don't know what I need. Yeah. So he's showering. I'm cleaning the house because I don't want to come home to a messy house. He goes, I gotta do the ad reads really quick. I'm like, go, go, go. Like, I sold you the floors. So, yeah, we got it all done. And then at the. As soon as you were done with the ads, you got upstairs, and then one contraction started where I was like, oh, I could see why people can't talk through these. Like, yeah, you gave me.

[C]

You gave me a. Yeah.

[F]

I was like, one second.

[C]

Okay.

[F]

Okay. That was. I was like, that was crazy. So I was like, let's just. Let's go.

[E]

Meanwhile, if Heath and I had that feeling, if it just transferred onto us.

[C]

I would have been at the hospital four Days early. Something just isn't feeling right.

[F]

Thank God your brother was at the house because I would have been more worried about Dean. So I was like, thank God. Like, Dean's going to get fed. This is awesome. So we get in the car, we go. Something about like it being dark out.

[C]

Yeah. Pitch black.

[E]

Oh.

[F]

Just driving to the hospital. What is going to happen in the car wash when they really. It was like every four minutes, I think it was. I was like, this is so. This is bad. So we get there and I walk up to the desk. Of course we're in the wrong spot.

[C]

We were told. So, okay.

[F]

We were told to go to the emergency. What's it called?

[C]

I must say, like, just like the emergency drop off.

[F]

Yeah, emergency, whatever.

[E]

Yeah, patients get dropped off. Yeah.

[C]

So that's what. Yeah, that's where we were told to get dropped off when we did our walk through.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

Months ago.

[F]

So that's exactly where we go. I go to the desk and I was like, I'm in labor. Whatever. I'm just like, no, no. I, I was like leaning on the desk and the girl was like, my age. I was like a Chili's waiter. Listen, things happen. I, I pretty sure I'm in labor.

[C]

And they're like, okay.

[F]

She was like, you're in labor right now. And I'm like. And then a contraction came and I went, oh, I had the only thing I walked in with, bag of lemon slices because I was like, I need my life.

[C]

The guy, the guy there was like, are those lemons? So they were like asking her questions, like, trying to get like the information, like who she is, blah, blah.

[F]

And it got to the point where I couldn't answer, like, physically, you're not able to answer through the contraction. And he just immediately like clocked it, stepped in, was answering everything for me. And I'm like leaning on the desk and all these nurses come out and they're high fiving us and I'm like.

[C]

Giving earth.

[F]

And they're like, congratulate first baby. Congratulations. And they were like, you're in the wrong spot, but we'll take you there. So they're like, let's just get her a wheelchair. And I'm, I'm. I have my lemons. And I'm like like, holy, this is bad. I'm like, I'm. I can't do this. I can't.

[E]

Do these people think that you're in like the first phase, what you were feeling like the night before.

[C]

They probably thought it was like really early, not understanding that it was like contractions three minutes apart.

[F]

Yeah. Because they were having a bl. They were. They were. They were fighting over who's going to take us.

[E]

You want him? You want him?

[F]

I'm like, somebody, somebody, please. So they took me in the wheelchair. They took me to a room, checked all my vitals, whatever, had me get change. They checked how dilated I was, and they. I arrived there 7 centimeters.

[D]

Oh.

[F]

And if you don't know, it goes up to 10. So I was already, like, in. And they go, oh, you did most the work at home. I'm like, oh, my God. And I start getting nervous because I don't. I just don't like hospital. Like, I don't know. The last time I was at the doctor.

[E]

Sorry.

[F]

Like, just not my thing. And as you know, I don't take any medication ever. I don't like putting anything other than cut.

[E]

Anything, even, like, minor like that. You don't like.

[F]

Yeah, like an Advil, Whatever.

[E]

Yeah.

[F]

The only thing that was hurting were the contractions. I was like, I could do this. Like, it's fine. And I planned on going as far as I could without an epidural. And I was like, let me. Let me just see. What. For the first kid. Let me see if you can do it. Yeah, if I could do it. Yeah, let me.

[E]

Isn't it safer, like, for the. Like, isn't it safer in general?

[D]

No, I think it's more natural and proper.

[E]

Like, oh, okay, okay.

[D]

There's no right or wrong.

[C]

It's just like a numbing agent they inject into your spine.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

So you, like, can't feel.

[E]

I know that. I just. I don't know why. I thought I saw somewhere that it was, like, better for the baby, but.

[C]

Everyone has a difference.

[F]

I get into that first room, and they're like, are you planning on having the epidural? And with no hesitation, I'm like, just give it to me. I'm throwing in the towel. Just give it to me. I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So they send the signal to another doctor, like, hey, we need an epidural in this room. So they have to, like, whatever. Concoct it. Whatever they're doing in another room, it's.

[D]

Just making a cocktail.

[C]

Which room is it going to?

[D]

All right, serve it up.

[E]

Let me make it. Let me make it.

[C]

Hey.

[F]

So they take us to the delivery room, and the second we get there, Heath comes in and drops our bags off, and they go, you need to go downstairs and finish the paperwork. They have a couple more questions. And he's like, all right. And there she was like, I'll keep an eye on her.

[C]

So still, like, me in this situation. Like, I knew she was, like, contracting. I knew it was, like, shorter and shorter, but all, like. All I heard was like, oh, I'm in labor for six hours. Oh, I was in labor for 12 hours.

[F]

You don't know.

[C]

I'm like, we got all day. So when they told me, I didn't even think twice. I was like, all right, perfect. Yeah. I'll just run. Run down, finish the paperwork.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

Just come back up.

[F]

No matter how many experiences you hear about or how much advice you're given, everybody is so different. You just can't. You can't, like, prep.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

Perfectly for it.

[D]

He's doing paperwork.

[F]

You're in the room doing paperwork downstairs. Very important. I'm on the bed, and I'm starting to. As soon as he leaves, like I said, the doctors, the lights. I'm like, do the lights need to be on? Like, this is back a bit. Because I. I'm not only am I in pain, I'm embarrassed because I'm like.

[E]

Don'T look at me.

[F]

It is not my thing. It is not my thing. I know their doctors. They've seen it all. It makes my body shut down.

[E]

Yeah.

[F]

To be that vulnerable and exposed to strangers. And the amount of, like, doctors coming in and out. Haven't heard from my midwife.

[E]

Oh, yeah.

[F]

Cause I. I called on the way to the hospital. I called again. I said, I got to call this bitch back. Called again, had to leave another message. They never got back to me. So I'm like, well, this is on them. My. My doctor. My doctor was nowhere in sight. So it's all these doctors. I have no idea who they are.

[E]

Right. This is the only person you are comfortable with. Seeing you the way.

[F]

Actually. Actually, no, Zane. No. No.

[C]

Still, you were.

[F]

I still was not.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

Are you sweating? Are you, like. Are you sweating during this? Do you feel. Feel like. I don't know, feverish? It's like. I don't. Like, how is the body responding to the moment?

[F]

I guess I think I. I think I. The only thing I could feel was the pain of the contraction, so I have no idea what I was really like.

[D]

Got it.

[F]

So I was in the room. It was me and a nurse because she was checking my vitals. She was hooking me up, like, doing all the things, and I'm telling her. I'm just like. Then I start. Like, a tear comes out because it hurts so bad. And I'm like, this one's different. Like this contraction is really different. And I couldn't handle it. And I told her, I was like, I need something. And she was just like, I know they're getting the epidural. It should be done in a couple of minutes. That was like the last thing I heard. She checks me because I am in so much pain and I'm telling her like, no, like this is really bad. Like I don't want to, like, it's like embarrassing that I had to like.

[C]

Scream for how you said, like, I feel him.

[F]

Yeah, I said, I said I, I feel him. Like this is not, this is not a. I feel him. Like I was like, I know this is him. So she was like, they're coming, they're coming. And then she checked me because I was in so much pain. And she immediately ran to the intercom and she was like, we need a doctor.

[E]

Oh my God.

[F]

It was like the movie. She like, we need a doctor. She's like, she's delivering. I'm like, I, I told you, I told you, I told you. I'm like on the phone with the other doctor. I told you it wasn't urine. So then meanwhile, next thing, so he's down there, say your point of view now the, the Wait, wait, wait, wait, let me finish mine. And then like point of view. So then tell him hun. Wait, let me finish. So then when she yells for the doctor, then is the moment I blame linked. And there I was surrounded by doctors and Heath was suddenly back next to me. Like it was like I blacked out for a second and like the scene was set.

[C]

Uh huh.

[F]

So go ahead.

[C]

So, so I'm downstairs again. I'm not thinking anything of it. So the lady at the front desk, she asked me like my, my phone number and everything.

[F]

A Chili's waiter, like where you're from.

[C]

So I said, I said my number. She goes, oh, Fort Lauderdale. I was like, yeah, born and raised Plantation. She goes, I worked at Plantation Hospital. And I was like, no world. So we're just going back and forth and she's like asking, asking about Mariah and everything. And they were like, is, is she working? And I was like, yeah, she's up there working hard right now. And it was like, no, what does she do for work? And I was like, oh. I'm like, yeah, she's upset. Working hard. And then we're just like talking. And then she, she kid me, it felt like two minutes I was down there. So we finish up, I get into the elevator to go back up. I get off on the floor and they were like, are you here for room 12? I was like, yeah, she's delivering now. Run. So I'm full sprint down the hallway trying to get to the room. I'm running, I bust through the door and she's full pushing. Everybody's around like, oh shit, it's happening right now.

[F]

I can't believe they sent you down there. When I was 7 centimeters, well, I was. I had to be 10 by the time I got to the room and they still were like, you need to go all the way downstairs.

[E]

Why can't they just wait to do that? Type of like, trust me, we're not going anywhere.

[F]

Wait for anything.

[D]

A QR code pre filled out information like we've already.

[F]

I think that's how they get you though. They ask you all these questions when you're in pain, so you're just like, whatever, yes.

[C]

She didn't even have her legs in Stirrups yet. So, yeah, the doctors asking me to help lift her legs and put them into the little like.

[F]

And I was.

[C]

I was like, here, let me get your leg. She's like, it's impossible. The only thing she said the whole time.

[F]

Giving birth is impossible.

[C]

She's like, this is impossible.

[F]

So keep in mind, no time for the epidural.

[C]

We got to do it.

[F]

No, because the last thing she said was, it'll be done in a couple minutes. So I didn't even get that bidural, and I am like, this is impossible. Like, there's no way this is about to happen. And then they were yelling at me. And as soon as you helped me, I was, boom. I was just like, I have to push.

[D]

Push. Just push? Yeah.

[F]

Like, I. I have to push. Did I push? In silence.

[E]

There was this.

[C]

Mariah.

[E]

There was.

[C]

There was no, like, scream.

[F]

I was like, I can't scream right now.

[C]

You were trying to be like this, like, knees together. I was like, what's the.

[F]

What's the. White chicks.

[C]

Yeah. Yes.

[E]

Yes.

[C]

That's what you look like on the table.

[F]

I was like, I am. Is there another way to do this?

[E]

I'm so embarrassed.

[C]

But as soon as we got your.

[F]

Lights right in there. The lights. Imagine, Zane, imagine. Imagine the lights spread eagle.

[E]

Can you and can you imagine people film this? There's people that download.

[C]

Oh, Matt. But there was no, like, there was no sheet box.

[D]

Yeah, that's how I like when it. Visualize it. It was not no sheet box.

[C]

It's not, like, pretty, like, up under.

[E]

Wait.

[D]

Yeah. Like a tent. Almost like. Yeah.

[E]

They didn't have. Have that.

[D]

No, No.

[F]

I was wide open.

[E]

Did you have to request for something like that?

[F]

I don't know. I'm sure other places are different, but this one.

[C]

Just do it. If you have more prep. Like, this was just like, we got it.

[F]

I think it just happened too fast.

[E]

Got it. Got it. Yeah. Yeah.

[F]

Gave birth.

[B]

Wow.

[F]

In about felt like 30 seconds, I pushed for. I pushed for, like, 30 seconds.

[C]

Twice.

[F]

Yeah, I pushed twice.

[C]

One for the head, one for the.

[F]

Body, one for the head. And I sighed relief because I thought that was it.

[C]

And they.

[F]

And they go, you got to do it again. I'm like, what? Like, that wasn't it. And I knew the shoulders were worse. I'm like, son of a. So then I. I think I was just pissed off at that point. So I just, like, pushed.

[E]

Yeah.

[F]

And they, like, immediately put him on my chest. I. My eyes were closed this whole time. The whole. It took me so Long to look at anything. Because if I opened and saw how many people. People just.

[E]

Yeah, don't look at me.

[F]

I just. And I was just looking at Heath. I was just like, just look at Heath. Just look at Heath.

[E]

It's crazy. Like, such a vulnerable moment. Like, it's just a. Because you never. Nobody ever experienced anything like that with that many people in a room like that.

[D]

And you're experiencing it for the first time, too. It's not like just going to the dentist or going to the doctor and getting a checkup. It's like you're doing. It's a very.

[E]

And there's no, like, rehearsal, too. You don't get, like, a rehearsal where. Where, like, you have to sit in the bed and, like, all right, this is what it's gonna be like. It's like they just tell you where to be the day of. And they didn't even get the correct information before that.

[D]

They give the baby right to you.

[F]

They get. They give the baby to me. I'm holding him. And they're all scrambling, doing their thing. My midwife comes in. She goes, hey, congratulations. I'm like, hey, girl, remember me?

[C]

She's like, you get my message? I just missed it, huh?

[F]

No, it's not her fault that she missed it. It was the people that were supposed to relay the information, whatever the reason.

[C]

Is, because when they were trying to relay it, they weren't finding her file. So I think they were, like, trying to have me go down to, like, get it fixed, to be able to, like, make the call and get in connection.

[F]

It had to do with the whole move thing because my name was different in California than here. The whole last name switch.

[E]

Yeah. Yeah.

[F]

Like, I'm like, a motto on some paperwork. I'm Hussar and other paperwork. So they were just like. They couldn't find me anywhere.

[C]

Oh, all meanwhile, they lay the baby on her chest. I'm right in front. And they're like, where's your phone? Where's your phone? And I'm like, what? Yeah, give me your phone.

[F]

First thing. They're like, let me take a picture. And they're, like, taking pictures. They first asked you, and you were like, it's okay. It's okay. And they were like, no, give me your phone.

[E]

That's. That's, like. That's actually insane.

[F]

Yeah, it's crazy that they were, like, begging for his phone to take pictures. I think we deleted those pictures. I'm like, oh. He's like, blue. And I'm like, yeah. Like, oh, that's that's so.

[E]

That's really wild to me.

[D]

I bet some people, like, think of that, though, as the first thing. They hear it a lot, probably. You think they think this is what they want? Like, oh.

[E]

Like, oh, I wish we got.

[C]

Yeah, it probably came from a nice place where they were trying to, like, document because they're so focused on.

[F]

Yeah, but like. But he did say no. And she was like, no, I insist.

[C]

But no. Like, all of the nurses, everybody at the hospital was so, so nice.

[F]

So nice and so helpful. Except for one. We'll tell you about her.

[E]

All right.

[C]

But for the most part, such an easy. Like, I'm like, it was a breeze.

[F]

They were very, very helpful, very honest, very patient. Like, I didn't feel pressured into doing anything, whatever. And then.

[C]

Oh, they were like, are you ready to cut the umbilical cord? I was like, I'm okay. They're like, no, come on, do it, do it. And I was like, okay, okay. So then they put the two clamps, and then they give me these garden shears just like, oh, my God. They were like, cut right between it.

[D]

You did it.

[C]

So I grabbed it and I cut. I wasn't expecting blood to squirt. Oh. So that threw me. I. Blood all over my white shirt, my hands.

[F]

I'm like, it's kind of cute. There's a little, like, blood stain on his shirt now.

[E]

Keep it. Give it to your kid.

[C]

So, yeah. Because I didn't get all the way through in one cut. And I was like, oh, my God. I don't know either one of you was going to be feeling it.

[F]

Oh, no, I didn't. I remember that moment, but I wish I could. Could have been more focused. They're just so fast with everything and on autopilot, and I couldn't process. I just remember you being like, all right, I'll do it. And then you did it. And then. Because at the same time, they're, like, figuring out if I need stitches. The placenta.

[D]

Yeah.

[F]

Which was the whole placenta thing. Like, a lot of people scared me with that. That was not. I don't even remember that. That was not.

[D]

Did you see it? Did you see it with your own eyes?

[F]

No, I didn't. I didn't see anything with my own eyes. I could not see a thing. I don't even know how the placenta came out. It feels like they just yanked it out. Like, I don't. I didn't push or anything.

[E]

It comes out after the baby, right.

[D]

After the umbilical cord. Right.

[C]

Kind of like, pulled it out.

[F]

Yeah, they just, like, unplugged it.

[E]

You look at the footage, they're like this.

[F]

It's just like.

[D]

It's a clown. It just keeps coming. Like, it starts changing colors. Like, they're like, whoa.

[E]

This is.

[D]

There was like a fun delivery doctor who's like, all right, we're just pulling the rest out. Gotcha. Just kidding. Welcome to the world.

[E]

Hot potato, hot potato.

[D]

So how. It must be a wild, emotional moment, finally seeing this human that you've been carrying around inside of you. But you don't really know what it looks like. But, I mean, you, you know, you see all the ultrasounds and stuff, you're like, wow, it's finally here. It has to be pretty wild.

[F]

It was really unexplainable.

[C]

Unreal.

[D]

And so much hair too. He's so. He is like, just.

[F]

He has a lot of hair. Like, so jealous. Dark hair, which everybody keeps asking me the question, like, you must have had a lot of heartburn, because that's the thing. If your bab has a lot of hair, you get heartburn. And I was like, I didn't. And they were just like, I never heard somebody not having heartburn.

[C]

And that's.

[E]

And that's.

[F]

What can I say? What can I say? It's called Ajita.

[E]

And how. And because I still don't know the time. How long was it between the Tony coming out and you deciding his name like that?

[F]

A day. Two days.

[D]

Until two days after deciding on the name, right?

[C]

Yeah. It was the last thing we did before leaving the hot. They wouldn't let us go until we had a name.

[F]

Oh, I didn't know.

[E]

I didn't know it was two days. I thought it was the same.

[C]

She had her. She had the baby at 7 in the morning. We spent the night. Next morning came around and then we didn't leave until like 6 o' clock the next day?

[F]

Yeah, I think so.

[C]

Something like that.

[D]

And now. And now the name. Was it already, like, in the top three of what you were already kind of leaning on, or did you kind of switch it up last minute going, actually, let's do. Let's go, Antonio. Let's do it.

[F]

So I've. Antonio's always been on my list. It's actually been a girl named Antonia.

[D]

Oh, love that.

[F]

And then still call her Tony. So we do. We both liked Tony, but it was never like a top three, top two. It was just always on the list.

[D]

Okay.

[F]

Like, I think, like a lot of Italian names were always on the list. I was like, Tony's cute, like Antonio. But it never clicked. There was a moment, I think. I don't know if you remember, there was a moment. Moment in my pregnancy where I was like, he kind of feels like a Tony. Like, I kind, like, sometimes I feel like calling him Tony. But that was, like, for a couple days, and it went away.

[D]

Okay.

[E]

Yeah.

[F]

And then he came up with the name in the shower that morning.

[C]

Yeah. I don't know. When I was showering, when she woke me up. I. I don't know why. I would just, like, Nico Valentino sounded really cool to me because those were.

[F]

Those were two names on our list, and we were trying to think of which ones sound good together. And I was like, I like Nico Valentino. That's really cool. And then I was thinking, Tony Rocco, and I'm like, tony Rocco is really cool.

[D]

Sound like fighters.

[F]

So those ended up being, like, the top two that morning. And I'm like, these are cool to, like, bounce around in, whatever. But there was nothing that we were just like, that's it. Like, we didn't have that moment.

[C]

It wasn't set.

[F]

Yeah, it wasn't set. So being in the hospital with him, we weren't even, like, thinking of the names either. We were just, like, not calling him anything. And then, like, hours later, we were like, we got to think of a name.

[C]

There was so much going on. Like, after.

[F]

They don't.

[C]

Like, somebody. Some sort of nurse or something was in the room every 10 minutes, like, either slamming on her stomach, like, oh, yeah.

[F]

There was a whole thing where they had to push on my stomach every hour.

[C]

She had, like, blood clots. And then you had to do, like, the catheter. There was just, like, always something that they were, like, doing. Yeah.

[F]

Or they would come in and ask you, who's your pediatrician? I'm like, I don't know. I just. I'm like, what are. What are we doing? They kept coming in, and it was like, a different nurse every time. And then they would leave and be like, get. Make sure you get some sleep. I'm like, how? When? When? Because then they would come in and they would have to take my blood pressure, like, all the time and, like, make sure everything was good.

[E]

Yeah.

[F]

Then this one nurse was coming in, and she goes, we'll bring you the Tylenol Advil. And I'm like, actually, no. Like, I'm good. I. When I tell you guys, genuine, I swear on my life, I had no pain afterwards. It was just discomfort. It was. Obviously, it's uncomfortable.

[D]

Yeah.

[F]

So I separate the two. Like, discomfort and pain are two different things.

[E]

Yeah.

[F]

I can sit through being uncomfortable. She comes in a second time and she. She goes, you sure about that? Tylenol and Advil. And she's like giving me a look and I'm just like, why would. What's the point of taking it? I don't have any pain. Like, there's nothing to get rid of.

[C]

She was just like, no, I'm good. Thank you, though.

[F]

Yeah, so. Yeah, I didn't say that.

[C]

So I looked at her, I said, what's the frickin point?

[F]

So then the third time she comes in and she goes, I'm just going to ask again, like, you're sure about this, Tyler? And I'm like, damn, what happened to no means no? I didn't. I didn't say.

[C]

She said, hey, good to see you.

[F]

So I said, no, thank you. Like, I'm really okay. I got my lemons. I was like, I'm really okay. And then she goes. Just so you know, you don't get an award for not taking any painkillers.

[D]

No.

[E]

Oh my God.

[D]

She did not.

[F]

Is that was gagged. I was like. Both were like, did I do something?

[E]

Hearing that again. I cannot. I cannot not believe that.

[D]

And that's crazy. Birth. That is like the last thing you want to hear is just some sass.

[C]

Like you don't get an award for not taking.

[D]

It's like, excuse me.

[C]

Like crazy.

[F]

It was so weird that she said that.

[C]

That's the only like, thing that was.

[D]

Like Tony's eyes just like open up in that moment. Like.

[E]

And you know what? I'm sure you didn't go and tell anybody what you told you, but she's lucky that you didn't like that.

[F]

What a crazy thing. Same thing. And I laughed. I thought she was kidding. And she just like walked away. And I was like. And I looked at Heath and I was like, thank God you heard it too.

[C]

Oh yeah.

[F]

Because I needed someone to roll my eyes with you.

[E]

Because I would have been like. If you told me, I'd be like, oh, she had to have been kidding. That would have been a joke.

[F]

Crazy. She was not letting it go. And I was like, it's just Advil. Like I'm. She's acting like I'm saying no to keeping the baby.

[E]

When he told me that, I was like, do. Do they get like a bonuses? Because I know they charge for everything that you take in the hospital. Like, they charge you for all the Advil they give you and they'll They'll. They'll up it by, like, 10 times, like, a cost of a Tylenol. They'll give you. They'll charge you, like, 300 bucks for that shit.

[C]

Yeah. I really don't know her intentions for that. Like, it was just, like, a weird thing to say.

[E]

Yeah.

[F]

So that was the only. Other than her, all the rest of the nurses and doctors were very helpful. We loved them. But she was strange.

[C]

During, like, the lactation specialist coming in. It was.

[F]

I didn't ask for it. Like, why don't they. You know, a lactation specialist? Like, they don't ask you.

[E]

She.

[F]

They just come barging in and they start touching. And I'm like. And I can't focus on what she's saying because she's so in my space. And then she's telling Heath, get in her spit. Get in there. Get in there. And I'm just like. And the baby's crying, and I'm like, this poor thing. And she's, like, forcing him onto me. And I'm like. I don't think he wants to be like, put. Like. I don't know.

[C]

It was just. It was a lot.

[F]

It was very aggressive right at after.

[C]

It was just, like, a lot going on in this room. It was just so.

[F]

There was so much. I felt like I was in, like. I don't even know how to explain. Like, a factory.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

People were doing so many different things.

[E]

Everything but natural. I feel like for you guys. For you, Mariah, like, it would have. Natural what it Feel what it's supposed to feel. Natural. I think all these lights and people and touching and it just like. And you want.

[F]

I had. I had the. I had friends on the tv. I'm like, let me make this as normal as possible.

[D]

Yeah, that's good. Did. Was anyone else giving birth, like, that morning? Like, so I saw.

[C]

I saw when I. I ended up going down to, like, the snack bar at one point, and as I was walking back, there was a lady in a wheelchair being wheeled out and a dad holding the baby in a carriage.

[D]

Cool.

[C]

So, like, you could tell they just either the following day or whatever it was or the before. So there was other people giving birth.

[D]

And another question I have, because you see it in movies all the time. Hi, this is Matt King with unfiltered.

[E]

Hi.

[D]

My question I have. Do they ever take the baby away? Because you know what? Like, in movies, there's, like, the maternity ward, and you're looking at the glass, and there's a bunch of babies all lined up. Does that Happen.

[F]

That's an old school thing. Because I remember, like, when my little cousins were born, like, you could go to the window and see all the babies and, like, read the names, games and stuff. They'll take them away for, like, they do have a daycare, so if you want a break, they'll take them and take. And feed the kid and do everything.

[C]

We just opted not to have the baby.

[F]

I said, daycare, a nursery.

[D]

Yeah, got it.

[F]

And if you want them to have a bath, they'll take them. But we just told them, just keep him in the room the whole time. Like, we don't. Yeah, I don't want to get. Take my eyes off of him, you know?

[E]

Yeah, we just stared.

[F]

Yeah, we just stared at him the whole time. And Heath was a freaking animal. He had no experience with kids, babies. And watching him changing all the diapers, figuring every nurse that came in and swaddled, he took notes on, like, what he.

[C]

Cuz there's a. There's a method to the madness with.

[F]

People do it differently. Yeah. So he came up with his own concocted swaddle. And he was like, I took my.

[C]

Favorite notes that each of them did. And I was like, okay, I like that. I like this.

[F]

He was losing sleep over getting that perfect swaddle.

[C]

Grabbing him like a burrito.

[E]

We were.

[F]

Yeah.

[E]

You're watching the doctors with. With Tony or doctors with other.

[C]

So they keep coming in and checking on him. Like, one. They're coming. They're checking his peach. They're checking. Seeing what they were doing, and like, they undo it and then they resaddle him to leave.

[E]

Got it.

[C]

So, like, I got to watch him get reswadd 100 times.

[F]

Like, they're. They don't leave the baby or us alone. Like, they're checking his reflexes. They're checking my reflexes. They're pushing on things. They're checking inside, like, everything. So they didn't let any of us sleep, but they kept telling us, make sure you get some sleep.

[E]

I don't know how that's possible. Just want to make sure you were good and healthy before you left.

[F]

So then the name my. Well, obviously we told my family when it happened, everything. My mom booked the next flight. She got there at like 2am yeah. We're all sitting there the next day and they're grilling us on this name.

[C]

They're like, what's the name? What's the name? We got to fill out the birth certificate. We got to get the Social Security.

[D]

Like, the footprints, like ink or like.

[C]

They did the footprint.

[E]

Okay.

[D]

They still do that. I know that's, like, a thing. Okay.

[F]

It wasn't like I thought they would, like. I thought it was like a stamp where, like, they.

[C]

Yeah, I thought it was fingerprint, too. It wasn't.

[F]

Yeah, it was just.

[C]

It was. I think it was digital. I think they just, like, pushed it up.

[F]

I don't think it was digital. I think it looked like a black screen, but it imprinted on its paper.

[D]

Or something like that.

[E]

It's just up the technology, because it definitely used to be in.

[D]

It's weird. Like, welcome to the world. Let's just. Yeah, okay. That makes sense. So until your mom gets there.

[F]

Yeah. So my mom gets there and.

[D]

Is she crying?

[F]

No, it's my mom.

[C]

She got a little emotional.

[E]

She's like, another one.

[C]

She did not. She didn't cry.

[F]

She just does it. She doesn't really cry. She was just. She's just so excited.

[C]

Yeah. Just more happy.

[F]

And thank God she was there for. She stayed with us for a few days. She's just such. My mom is such a natural. Natural with. I mean, I know she had kids, but, like, even before that, like, babies love her. She loves babies. I don't know. She has this, like, magic touch. Magic touch to her. And I just, like, was able to shut off, and he was able to sleep, and I was just like, that's really you. So it felt really nice to have her there. So the next day, they're grilling us. They're talking about the birth certificate. They're. They're bringing in surveys, and they're like, did you fill out the survey? And I'm just like. And I. I'm reading the survey.

[C]

It was a. How was your experience?

[D]

Answer for a chance to win an.

[F]

So we're going back and forth, and him and my mom. I feel like we're leaning towards Nico. And I was, like, kind of set on Tony. I'm like, oh, I like Tony. I like Antonio. We weren't even thinking about yet.

[C]

It was just going to be Tony.

[F]

Yeah. I was like, I like Tony. I like Tony. Like, I thought about it in my pregnancy. Like, I think I just like Tony. And we also, like, we were kind of set. We were like, oh, if we do have a girl, the chances are very high that she'll be a Tony. Like, whatever.

[E]

Yeah.

[F]

We were going back and forth. We couldn't agree. And then my mom was like, it'll come. Pray. Pray about it. Eat your lemon. So then we were thinking, okay, we started brainstorming. We Slept on it.

[C]

And then I was just like, I like the idea of, like, family names. Like, right. Not just, like, something random. I was like, I like something that has to do with a relative.

[F]

Right. So I was like, my great grandfather Antonio worked his ass. Ass off.

[E]

He.

[F]

He would come to America, work, and bring the money back to Italy to the family.

[E]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[F]

And I. I was like, antonio's on the list. And I was like, I love Antonio. We can call him Tony. And I was like, it's my great grandfather.

[D]

Got it.

[F]

Or my mom said. She goes, traditionally, if it's a boy, if your first is a boy, the husband picks the name. And I. I was signing silent, and I was like, I wanna. I wanna play a part. Like, I want a role. He's already getting Hussar. Like, I want to play a role. So Tony Hussar sounds really cool.

[D]

Yeah.

[F]

Like Antonio Hussar. So then the middle name, I think I said Carlo. Yeah.

[C]

Like, not even thinking about, like, it was just like, tony Carlo sounds cool.

[D]

Yeah.

[F]

Yeah.

[C]

And then I was like, oh, my grandpa. Like, it would be cool. Feel like it was Carl. But we call him, like, Tony Carlo.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

There was something.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

Like, had a little flare to it.

[C]

That I loved about him being named after, like, both of our grandparents. And, like, when we said his name.

[F]

We were like, antonio, Antonio, Carl. And then the three of us were frozen for a second, and then me and him lost. And my mom was like, well, there you go. When she saw, like, it was uncontrollable. We both just started sobbing. And I was like, that's gorgeous.

[C]

It was crazy.

[F]

And my mom was laughing. She was just like, that's your answer. Like, you crying. Is that validation? Like, that's the thing.

[E]

Wow, that's beautiful. I love.

[D]

So great, guys.

[C]

Crazy.

[F]

So we got a little Tony Carlo. He's a race car driver.

[E]

And I love that you could call him, like, five different things. It's great.

[F]

Oh, my gosh. Where do I begin? Tony 2 times Tony.

[E]

Tony baloney.

[F]

Tony baloney. Tony 2 ounces. Because he was. He was knocking that milk.

[C]

Back then, it was Tony tree ounce.

[F]

Tony tree ounce. He graduated.

[E]

Mariah, tell Matt about the. The carpet. The tiger carpet after Tony the Tiger.

[F]

So in the nurse. It didn't hit me until a couple days into being home. But the nursery.

[C]

Well, we keep. We kept singing Tony the Tiger.

[F]

Yeah. So Heath, was he singing Tony the Tiger to him? The theme song. And with. Hey, Tony, Hey, I like the things you do. He loved it. So we were calling him Tony the tiger. I'm like, this is so his name is so fun to give, like, nicknames.

[C]

Good.

[E]

Yeah.

[F]

My mom calls him Tony Walnut for a re first.

[E]

Tony what?

[D]

Tony Walnut.

[E]

Oh, I know.

[F]

He was changing him in the hospital, and my mom comes to check, and she looks down, she goes, holy walnut.

[C]

She had an audible gas.

[F]

Yeah. It, like, took her back. So she goes, tony Walnut.

[E]

I was dying.

[C]

So he's just Tony Walnuts.

[E]

That's hilarious.

[D]

But this tiger print or so.

[F]

Yeah. So when I was planning the nursery, I wanted just like a bunch of patterns, a bunch of. I wanted cars and animals. Like, just. You just. It's a kid's room. Like, I wanted a lot of color, a lot of fun going on.

[E]

Yeah.

[F]

So I love leopard print. And I'm like, I'm not gonna do that to the kid. That would be for me. That would be for me. So I was like, tiger print and zebra print is cool for like a boy's nursery.

[E]

Yeah.

[F]

So I don't know why I was so locked in for months and months. For like five months, I was locked in on getting tiger print curtains or a rug. And I couldn't find it anywhere if unless it was $10,000. I was like, everything's so expensive, but I really want this tiger rug.

[E]

Were you. Were you looking at. Were you looking at like a. Just a print or do you wanted real tiger skin?

[C]

No, please. It's got the head on it.

[E]

You said $10,000. She's looking for real tiger skin.

[F]

No, just like anything. Tiger print is hard to find.

[E]

Got it. Got it. Okay.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

It's not a common zebra and cheetah. Tiger is very hard to find.

[E]

Interesting.

[C]

Okay.

[F]

The very first thing I bought for the nursery, this room was empty. I found one left, a tiger rug on Wayfair. One left in the perfect size. And I was like, I got to jump on this right now. I got my tiger print rug. I've got a picture of the empty room with just the rug. And I'm like, we got one thing in this nursery, and that was the print. And then I realized when he was singing Tony the Tiger, I'm like, we.

[E]

Have a tiger print at home.

[F]

This is why I needed this. Feels good.

[D]

It was meant to be.

[F]

Weird. Yeah, it was meant to be.

[E]

I got to tell you another thing that, like, I was like, oh, Mariah's gonna love this. In Sweden. We were at an ice hotel. Right. So everything was ice. Like the room.

[C]

Right, right, right.

[E]

Lobby. Everything thing was ice. And the moment. Because I've been Waiting for the text from Heathen. I was like, oh, my God.

[D]

I was checking by my friends every day, seeing where y' all are.

[E]

When is it gonna happen? I'm right now in the ice chapel in the hotel, right? It's a chapel. It's like, it looks like a church. I'm sitting there and I'm just looking at it. It's beautiful. I'm sitting there and sitting there. Bing. I get a text. He's coming. Like, he's like, he's risen. He's coming. Jesus is coming. Tony's coming. And I saw that and I look up. I was like, this is crazy.

[F]

Oh, knowing that that was the text and the picture you showed me of where you were stunning, Matt. It looked like he was actually in heaven.

[E]

Yeah, I took a picture of it. I was like, I'm taking a picture of this, like, moment. I was standing in the spot. I got the text. I was like, I'm gonna. I'm gonna. I'm gonna want that and I'm gonna. I want to show you this picture.

[C]

Cuz he looks like, like, AI.

[E]

No, no. Describe to him. What you said when you saw is like, it's a bleed out place.

[C]

It's a 10 out of 10 bleed out spot where you would just 10.

[E]

Out of 10 bleed out spot. Look at this, Matt.

[D]

Whoa.

[E]

Isn't that crazy?

[D]

Whoa. Incredible. Oh, man.

[E]

So beautiful.

[F]

So Zayn played a huge role, did a great job.

[E]

It was just like moments that I felt like, just made sense. Sense.

[C]

I was like, oh.

[E]

Oh, that's fun. That makes sense.

[D]

You know, you guys are fully adjusted. You have a home. You got to spend Christmas, like all of it.

[F]

It was quite a bit too, to.

[D]

Be entering the world and then it's just good family times and great vibes. Like.

[F]

Yeah, it was really special to have like the Christmas lights on, like coming home to that because we did get. We did finally get our first tree. I know. We got made fun of for that.

[C]

We got our first.

[F]

We got our first tree. Tree. And it made it so much like you look forward to that.

[D]

That's so great.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

It was also our first time having like our Christmas together. So.

[F]

Yeah, our first time at Christmas special with him, like, because we spent it with our families. This was our first time. We had no choice but to stay home. So this was the first time we didn't have to travel anywhere and we stayed home.

[E]

It's a core.

[F]

It was sad. It's on the mantel. I had our stockings and his didn't have an it was blank. Yeah, it was me, Heath and Dean. And his was blank.

[E]

Oh, I saw something somewhere. People didn't believe you. They're like, you had the name all along. I was like, no, I stitched it in. Yeah.

[F]

How about I got home and embroidered it when I got home?

[C]

The day we got home, she's like, where's my sewing kit? I gotta fill this out.

[E]

You guys must not know Mariah if you didn't think that she didn't immediately sew that name in there.

[F]

And what a weird thing to lie about.

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

So funny. Oh, my God. What? Like, the whole store. Everything from the beginning. From, like, the beginning to the end and is just so funny and beautiful.

[C]

It was. It was, like, amazing.

[F]

Like, what did we expect?

[C]

Unreal experience.

[F]

It's very hard to explain. I can't. There's not enough, like, adjectives to explain. You just have to live through it to understand. Yeah, but it was like, it brought us, like. I feel like there was a point where we were talking to each other and we were just like. We feel this extra connection with us.

[C]

Oh, I bet.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Like, watching her push him out, like.

[F]

And meanwhile, like, I'm so sorry.

[E]

So embarrassing.

[C]

No, like, you, like, you just see them in a completely not new light. Because the light, like, it's just like. It's an open door to a feeling that you've never felt before.

[D]

And, like, life has truly begun. It's just a whole new phase. A great new chapter it gets.

[F]

Yeah. Like, emotionally. And like, the love. Love is, like, not even, like, the word. Like, there's. There's so much more.

[E]

You have news for us. I'm pregnant.

[D]

You're just doing it like an Irish. An Irish pregnancy.

[F]

Just like Irish pregnancy.

[D]

I think that's what it's called. Right. Where it's like you get pregnant. Twins or Irish twins, I guess.

[E]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Irish twins. Oh, it's just like, right after you.

[D]

Finish, after you're pregnant again.

[E]

You know what?

[F]

They're born within the same year.

[E]

The three under three. Have you ever heard of that?

[F]

Yeah. Two. It's two under two.

[C]

Four under four.

[E]

Oh, okay. I've never heard that term before. I saw it on. The lady brought her three kids on a flight and they were all under three, and she was just like.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

So you would tell people, like, there. I have three under three.

[C]

Yeah, Yeah.

[E]

I feel like you're gonna have three under three.

[F]

I know. I was like. We were already talking. I'm like, we're jumping the gun. I'm still in so much pain. But yeah, I was. We were like, how long should we wait for the next one? And I was just like, I definitely going to need a couple years.

[E]

Yeah.

[F]

Like, to forget what just happened.

[E]

Forget what I said.

[F]

Yeah. But it wasn't. I'm glad I was able to do it naturally. Like, now I can. Like, I feel so strong in that way.

[E]

Oh, I'm sorry, by the way. I'm so apologize. I just realized I asked a question that every girl hates to hear.

[C]

When's the next?

[E]

Yeah, when's the next. When are we. So what are we?

[D]

Just pregnancy. Well, having now done it, does if you do it again, if you choose to, does it seem like, less scary because you've done it. You've already done it.

[F]

Yeah. Like, now I know what to expect. Even though they say every pregnancy is different, who knows if I'm. I'd probably give birth at home.

[E]

Yeah.

[F]

At that point, honestly, Mariah, I feel.

[E]

Like you probably would and should because.

[F]

Like, I think me and Heath can handle it. I think, like, we could do it.

[C]

I learned a lot. I watched everything.

[F]

Just call 91 1.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

I watched everything.

[F]

Ye. I think we. I think we could do it.

[C]

Football snap. You kind of just.

[E]

Just have for vitals and stuff and then you're good to go.

[D]

Yeah. No surveys.

[C]

But then, like, after, just like being home with him. I don't know. It's just felt like a dream.

[F]

Yeah.

[C]

We got back from the hospital. It just feels.

[F]

It hasn't really hit. I said it feels like I'm babysitting.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

I don't know whose kid, but it's. It is crazy to look at him. And like, some days I'm like, whoa. Like, that's he.

[C]

Oh, Matt. I ended up. Up doing like two days ago, the. The skin to skin. Never again. I was like, you know what?

[F]

I'm in the hair, bro.

[C]

He both hands ripped chest hair out. And I'm looking at. He's got a fist full of my chest hair.

[E]

Not very beautiful.

[C]

I was like, all right. I tried it.

[F]

That said, this is good for the soul.

[C]

I'm like, I'm all right. That's good.

[E]

Mariah, a few days ago, she. She sent a video of like, of Tony on heats on Heath's chest like this. And I'm looking. I literally just. I DM where I'm like, crazy.

[D]

Yeah.

[E]

Just crazy.

[F]

What's crazy?

[E]

What's happening?

[F]

What. What is happening? That's like, how did we make that? What do you mean?

[D]

Miraculous how it just.

[F]

It's so Bizarre, Wild. It's really cool. It's really fun. Freaking sick.

[E]

I cannot wait. I cannot wait to meet him.

[D]

Well, you guys are absolutely glowing. You guys already are and will be fantastic parents.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

You're looking great, Tony. Like, I'm so excited. Just unfold.

[F]

People still have to meet him.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

Like, we still have that whole chapter.

[E]

Yeah.

[F]

Crazy Matt, thank you for the blanket. He loves.

[D]

It was my favorite blanket I've ever made. I gotta say.

[F]

It is. I opened it up and I told Heath. I was like, this is a hard stitch.

[D]

It is a lot of time.

[F]

Crazy work.

[D]

I was very happy with it.

[E]

I remember I saw the corners. I'm like, this looks professional. It looks good. It looks like you bought it from the store.

[D]

No, but now, now I'm thinking tiger. If I get into sweaters.

[E]

Oh, there you go.

[D]

Now it's some tight. Because I really want to get into. Like, how hard? Easier making the blankets faster, I think too. Because the blankets, the yarn is just so thin and it just takes forever. Sweaters, you can have a little bit of thicker yarn. You can accomplish more distance. But I just want to get into making some sweaters. So stay tuned.

[E]

All right, all right, all right. Okay, well, all right. I think. I think we're good here. Mariah, thank you so, so, so much for taking the time to come on.
