Did you guys make your baby on the honeymoon? Not you, that's you. Of course not. Oh my god. Our plan was to wait like six months. And then just got wild hair. But I think it's like a wild hair. Wait, it's like a saying.

I've never heard of say that. Was it like a whoopsie's moment where you like, oh shoot. No, I was just like, well nothing will happen. Six weeks later, she's like, surprise, Shaudi, and I'm like, oh, we took a break for about six to seven months. Was it technically a break up or was it more of a break? It was a break up.

Wow. You wanted a very serious thing. And I was still over here in this college movie scene basically. That calls a lot of tension. Things got kinda toxic. I'm not a social media guy like she filmed a video on me. I didn't even have TikTok downloaded. The next day she sent me a screenshot and was like, it has 4 million views.

What's up dudes! And welcome back to the on-plan podcast! No, say it that way. I would feel like, blah, blah, blah, blah. You know we should get like a ham horn in here. That'd be so funny. I think we'd have more people click off.

They should probably get a tail bill. Get a tail bill. Dude, I tried to kill, I wanted to get rid of what's up dudes, and then everybody in the commas was like, you cannot get rid of what's up dudes. Like it's just, it's just part of you guys. That's your state's heart.

That's what we do. That's what we do. You know, so anyway. That's where it's not just. Okay. Today we are joined by Taylor and Sof, the TikTok sensations have over four million TikTok followers. They literally posted their first TikTok in June of 2022,

which is crazy. And one year, you guys have blown up so fast, you got engaged, you got married. Now you're pregnant. Like what, this is insane. And you guys are only 19 and 21. I can't believe that. Where's zoom in?

Where's zoom in through life? You guys are just like accelerating through life at a speed of, I just can't even fathom that. Welcome to the podcast. Thank you for being here. Let's get up and tailored. So, we're so excited. So excited. How was the journey out here?

Did you guys have to do like a couple connecting flights? Or did you fly direct? How did that work? We flew direct. So Fia got extremely hot on the airplane. I think she gets hot on every airplane. So they're kind of... Is it just because you're trapped in there?

I think I'm claustrophobic, like, same time. Yeah. But it really, really was hot. Like it wasn't just me. How do you feel in elevators? Abby hates elevators. Honestly, I don't have that bad of a problem with elevators. I am just scared to get stuck in one,

but it's not that bad for me. I think with me, it like crowded spaces that are compact. I'm just like, I don't think I'm get enough oxygen right now. And then, like, if you start freaking yourself out. Start freaking out, start getting hot. Were people like past, out on the airplane? Was it that hot or was it? This woman like two rows in front of us,

you could tell she was like, I think she was about to pass out and I think they were like bringing her medicine and stuff. They brought her ice too. Yeah, like she was definitely about to pass out. That was about the visa, Fiya. She was like watching her. I'm her.

I'm her. Oh my God. It was this in Phoenix or in Georgia. This was the flight from Atlanta to Phoenix. Like just the whole flight. I guess it's really hot in Atlanta too. It's funny you guys being from Georgia because like I just assumed after meeting

our friends 700, like I just thought, okay everyone in the South has this like really thick southern accent, but yours isn't as strong. It's kind of subtle and I kind of like it, you know? Nothing wrong with like a really strong southern accent but it's kind of like it's a new twist on it, you know? Yeah, I think, I feel like each accent from state to state varies.

Like even like in North Georgia, you'll hear a totally different slang and even words are different than compared to South Georgia. So it's just like way, way different. I love you yesterday, how you said fried chicken when you were ordering a third of your strong chicken. I wanted that out. I was like, your accent came out

so much more when you said fried chicken. Oh. I want some That's right. I was like, your accent came out so much more when you said fried chicken. Oh, I want some fried chicken. It was fun. I love that. I don't realize we have Southern accents until we are with someone who's not like Southern at all, I guess, and they pointed out.

I'm like, oh, really? So what do you call our accent? Like, we have an accent to you guys, then, right? No, I feel like y'all sound the same as us. I said, when we say caramel, you know what I am. You guys call it caramel or what do you say? Caramel. Caramel?

Caramel? Caramel? Caramel? What about P-can? Yeah, you said that differently, yes, I was talking about. Yeah. Are you guys in the same crowd as Devon, where you say like bold instead of boiled?

No. Okay, boil. Yeah, she's got it way stronger than this. Yeah, I'd say boiled, yeah. That's funny. That's funny. So, she's got it way stronger than this. Yeah, I'd say boy. Yeah, that's funny. That's funny. So I want to backtrack a second. This TikTok thing, I feel like blew up overnight for you guys.

Like it seemed just from talking to you. It seemed like you posted one video back in June of 2022 and immediately it just took off. And you're just like, okay, let's keep doing this and kept posting and posting. How did you go from just living out normal lives as you were in college, I don't know if you were in college at this time last year, but talking about what this change has been like.

Yeah, so originally how it started was to put it in perspective, I'm not a social media guy. I was never a social media guy. I pretty much only had an Instagram, could barely function it. I'd post one picture every three years or something. And so if over here was the social media guy, I pretty much only had an Instagram, could barely function it. I'd post like one picture every three years or something like. And so if over here was like the social media approach, she was posting every single week on Instagram and stuff like that. And one day like, I didn't even have TikTok downloaded.

She filmed a video on me. And at the time I like didn't have a clue that it was being filmed or anything. The next day she sent me a screenshot and was like, it has four million views and it was literally like 12 hours later. And I was like, started doing the math. I was like, wow, four million people is actually like a lot of people. And that got us like, I don't remember exactly,

but one video doing that will get you like 50k followers. So we went from zero to like having 50k followers and a video that big. So we had to keep posting. So then she started, kept kept doing the same similar type stuff and then eventually I think around a million followers, I downloaded TikTok because I was like, oh, it actually is kind of serious.

So I was like a million followers, you know, it was cool. So I downloaded it and then it kind of, the rest has been history from there. It was just. When was the first time that you made any sort of money from that? Because I remember for us, I think our first day on YouTube AdSense, we made like four bucks, and I was thrilled. Because I just thought it was the craziest thing that I could make money posting videos online.

When was that for you guys? Yes. So, her dad, well, it's this funny thing. So like a weekend, we met all the requirements for the creator fund on TikTok, and so we're like, well it's this funny thing. So like a weekend, we met all the requirements for the creator fund on TikTok. And so we're like, well let's join that, you know, that'd be cool. And so I remember like the first week we were making

maybe like eight to $10 a day. Like it was very minimal, but it was still money. And I remember I was talking to our dad. And I was like, I thought I was just this big shot. I was like, this is so awesome. I was like me and so can get free lunch every day if we make this. I remember, me and him always joke about, I was like, that's a Chick-fil-A meal at, or yeah,

that's a Chick-fil-A meal that I can have every day. For free. If we just keep posting videos. And he was like, I remember he was so supportive. He was like, yes, that is so awesome. And we're just so hype about like 10 to 20 bucks a day. I thought it was like unheard of. Yeah.

And then we started getting emails of like companies wanting to like work with us and stuff. But it wasn't long after that we had management reach out and then we started with them. I think we were at like 500K followers on TikTok when we got management and so from there it was just we we had a million followers in one month and then like two million the next month and three million the next

month. That is crazy. I remember that because it was a million crazy crazy speed. How did how did all of this affect your relationship? Because I know you guys have been dating since 2020 so all of a sudden now you're making videos together you're you're almost like business partners in a way, right? So like, how did that affect your relationship? I had so much fun doing it. So it was kind of just, it gave us something to do because when we were dating, it was just like,

boyfriend, girlfriend hanging out all day. And we had no money, so it wasn't like we were doing anything. Yeah. So this gave us like a brand new hobby that we both were having fun with and loving. And so I feel like it brought us even closer together than before because we are literally spending every waking moment talking about social media, you know, just dreaming honestly. And now a lot of those dreams have come true, which is so

surreal to even think about. But yeah, I'd say it like really, really strengthened our relationship. Don't get me wrong, like there were tensions like when I try to film a dance video, I can't dance. And so like we'd be there for four hours trying to film a dance video. We learned we can't do those anymore.

That's so fun. So if we're not not understand how I couldn't be on beat. But anyways, I would say in total, it strengthened our relationship like a lot. That's really cool. It's been beat, but anyways, I would say in total it strengthened our relationship like a lot It's really cool. It's been such a whirlwind I feel like because that was in June and then you guys got engaged a big life event in November Tell us about your engagement Yeah, so I knew like so when I first met her had always wanted to get married young and my mind I was like I'm wanted to get married young. In my mind, I was like,

I'm never gonna get married young, you know, never say never, obviously, but I just, that had never crossed my mind. And then I'd say around like August is when I really came to the decision like, okay, this is who I know I wanna spend the rest of my life with. I love her with my whole heart. She makes me a better man

So I started looking into rings and stuff like that And just started planning the proposal from there got her dad's permission How did that conversation go? Yeah, whoa Parents are so easy going though, but what I've heard about them and friendly like it wasn't were you nervous? Well, so I was nervous. I mean, he definitely had an idea that it was coming just because he knows how so-fizz. And you know, everyone had, I feel like,

I don't wanna say everyone, but a lot of people have an idea when, okay, in the next six months, I'm gonna get engaged. In the next 12 months, I'm getting engaged. So he had an idea that it was coming. And me and him, we are best friends. Like, we hang out, I'd say, as. And me and him, like, we are best friends. Like we, we hang out, I'd say as much as me and so, like, we do things for like 12 hours at a time, like, hike all that type of stuff. So it's like, we're best friends. So I went over, um, so I

called him up and told him, I said, Hey, can I come over? I knew Sofina and her mom was out, we're out shopping. And he was like, yeah, come on over. So, went over and just told him how much I love Sophia, how good I would treat her and ask for his permission. And he was crying, I was crying. It was just a surreal surreal moment. I wish there was a video of it because he tells me the story, but I'm like, oh, I wish I was there.

And it was in the exact same spot I first met him. So it was cool. Yeah. How long? That's really sweet. Did you guys have a solid relationship like since 2020 or was that a more recent development of you guys becoming really close?

Yeah, so like I said, I was never in the mind space of like, hey, I want kids really young. I want to be married really young. I was just very the mind space of like, hey, I want kids really young. I want to be married really young. I was just very teenage boy immature mindset while so have had this like 40 year old woman mindset. I just hadn't been exposed. I hadn't been exposed to that in my life. Like just it never crossed my mind.

None of my friends were in that same space or anything like that. So that calls a lot of tension. Early in our relationship, she wanted a very, very, very, very serious thing, and I was still over here in the high school error early college error. And so, we, like I said, that calls tension, and so eventually, we got to the point where we were like, hey, we just need to take a break. This is at one point it was pretty toxic

where we were just like, this is not working. We're making each other worse. And we're not building each other up as we should be doing as Christians and as a couple in general. We're just not making each other better. And so we took a break for about six to seven months in 2021. Yeah, so we, I think he was asking about you

and dad's relationship, like, if it's totally good. I didn't know that you guys broke up. Was it technically a breakup or was it more of a break or what, what would you, how did you classify it at the time? It was, it was a breakup. Like it was, yeah, we've shared it for on social media and stuff, but we dated for about a year from like March to March. Yeah, and you were 16 and you were 18?

Yes. Okay. Um, and this was right when, um, he had been in college for about almost a year at this point. Okay. And I like to let him speak on it more because it was more Yeah, and so initiated it so I Yeah, so I Initiated at the time like this goes into like my testimony and stuff with Christ

like I just wasn't in a good headspace. I Chose a different life then or I wanted at the time. I thought I wanted you know the party scene and this downtown scene and this just college Movie scene basically over Sophia at the time This is when you went to college you walked the college I You know what I want to go live it up in college and enjoy it and at the time we were arguing a good bit like it just wasn't So we're trying to do distance

So I was like all right, you know, we're just gonna have to break up and so we broke up um I definitely did not spend my time wisely but luckily I had people pouring into me. I got involved in a local church. I quickly got out of that rut and out of that mindset. And at the time, me and so have had like completely cut off communication like we weren't hanging out, but like she could text me or you know whatever, we weren't like having conversations, but like we'll say we communicated at least once a month,

like so we, but it took until a whole other year for us to start officially dating again. Yeah. Yeah. And so I took like six months where I was literally at church every day hanging out with the right people, doing all these things just to make sure my walk with the Lord was good because I didn't want to hurt Sophia in her relationship. And so we ended up communicating again and the rest was history from that point. I was just a lot more mature than I had been.

And so my life completely changed in a sense. And so I walked in back into the relationship knowing, hey, already know I want to marry Sophia. I know I want to have kids young I know this is the ultimate goal and this was all like before social media, so Right before yes, we got back together. I think what a March or April of 2023 and then started social media June Engage the same year. Whoa. Yeah, that would have been 22

22 sorry Sorry, 22, sorry. 22. 22, sorry, I said that. I was like, what are you confused? 2022. Okay, yeah. It's crazy. Wow, I didn't know this whole, I had no idea either.

Did you, were you still in love with him when he, when he broke things off? Yeah. How did that make you feel? It was like the worst year of my life. Oh my God. Although, so when we had first dated that whole year, I'm pretty sure we had a bunch of silly breakups. Like I think I broke up with him a couple,

like you know, just the silly like, we're fighting, we're done. And so, but I never, when it was like that official breakup, I was like heartbroken, I wanted to be together, even though things were bad in the relationship, I still wanted to be together. It wasn't worth not being together. But looking back, it's definitely what we needed.

If we didn't take the break or whatever we want to call it, things just never would have worked out and we would have never come to the realization of a bunch of things. But yeah, I got to the point though a couple times because he was going through some rough things over those months where I was like, okay, I'm done. I'm over it. Like if he texts me, I'm not going to text him back, things like that. Um, but then randomly that one time we ended up getting back together, he, I had noticed how he had been changing and things like that. And so I was willing to talk to him and we talked and it took us like two months, I think.

We were like, let's just, you know, start talking again and see how things go before we make this like official official because I wanted to make sure things were going to be different that time and they were. So it all worked out. What are the people in your lives that were like close to you at the time like think about that because I feel like there is definitely like a stigma about getting back together with the ex. Yeah. And so at the time I had a lot of friends that that I wouldn't call it called them friends. They were more like acquaintances that

weren't very great influences. And so once they heard the news that I was getting back with Sophia, they did not find that very fun because that meant those relationships would end just because they weren't beneficial. They also weren't ever like really pouring into me. And so they were just encouraging me to do things that weren't gonna build me up or make me a better person.

His family liked me. They were in Cessla Sophia. You were the good influence. Yes, they were mad at him about this whole breakup. Oh really? And how does your dad feel about this? Was your dad pretty mad? So my dad, the breakup was just as hard on him as it was on me because like you were asking

earlier, they hit it off right away. Really? They were BFFs. Like over that first year of dating. BFFs, yes. So he was heartbroken too, obviously, just because he lost his, like, buddy. But then also for me, because I'm his daughter, he saw how sad I was and everything. And so for a while, when we would like talk throughout,

when we weren't actually dating, just like we would talk. And I think we hung out a few times. They weren't super happy about it, just because he was still kind of being the same and they just were like, what are you doing? But then they trust me, you know, and when we got back together, I was like, I wouldn't be getting back together

if I didn't think it was a good idea. And so, you know, it took a little bit of time, I think for them to just know that everything was gonna be okay that time around, but- Were you living at home at this time? Yes, I lived at home until we got married. Okay.

So, yeah. But yeah, the bond is quickly back together, and they are BFFs again. So, yeah. That's crazy. I'm curious, like, what advice you would give to, like, someone that's contemplating,ating like getting back together with their ex because because we are very

Strange and the fact that we don't have X's it's not like a normal thing and we get we've gotten that question before and my knee jerk Response be like no, yeah, we also came close like there were a few times throughout a relationship where we thought about breaking up There were there were a couple and we just didn't. And so like, yeah, I'm curious what you're taking on that. It clearly worked out for you guys, you know? Right. Yeah, I would say it just depends on the situation. Like there was a true life change that happened in my life,

which calls me from being, hey, you know, he's going down the wrong path, he's doing this, this and this. And then it was just like a complete 180 to go back and say, okay, I'm turning away from that. And, you know, turning a different way. And so, um, and so, so for realized that I feel like, I mean, yeah, it's hard. We get a lot of messages just from like younger girls just being like, I'm going through a break up. Because we've posted it before about how we got back together. It's hard because my initial thing is to typically don't get back together.

Because most of the time things don't change. But yeah, he really had a serious life and heart change. So it really just depends on the situation. Who reached out first after the break, who was trying to get back with you? I was like super over it. And so still, like I was like, I didn't think he had changed yet.

I didn't know. So he reached out to Sophia. You're like, I screwed up. Yeah, I had been thinking about it for a while and it's the craziest thing I'll never know if this was by accident so if thinks it's by accident but I had posted a story it was like a Bible verse and her mom slid up with a heart on it and I had and I had and Lord Will and so it her mom slid up with like a heart on my Instagram story and so I had already been thinking about like-

Well, it was her parents always accidentally doing stuff like that. Yeah, I mean, we accidentally did that. And parents getting involved in the relationship too, like that's so fun to me. Yeah, yeah. So I was just like, oh, this is a sign. Like, it's time for me to reach back out to save. And I had already been thinking about it,

like it was gonna be within the next week or so. But then that was just like confirmation. So I take Sophie and I was like, Hey, do you think we could grab dinner tomorrow night? You know, if not, I totally understand. Hope you're okay. And then that I think that was it. And she was like, and something just told me to say yes.

And so this was like a year and a half ago. Yes. Like we literally, like I feel like when we're talking about this, I feel like it's like five years ago, because, yeah. Because we've been together for seven years, so I just, I can't believe how fresh and new all this for you guys, because I don't know, I almost feel like I've been through a lot of the same things you guys have been through, not like the breakup thing,

but just as far as your relationship and then obviously social media, but it's all been condensed into like a year for you. And that to me is mind boggling, because these are big life changes. Like getting married is a big life change, engagement is a year for you. And that to me is mind boggling because these are big life changes. Like getting married is a big life change. Engagement is a big life change. Getting back together with an X is a big life change.

So what month was that in 2022? That would have been like. I think you reached out maybe February and we officially started dating March. Wow. So. And so did you guys feel like infatuation come back in again? Because I know for us, infatuation after like two years

was kind of gone after dating two years. But I don't know what that was like of dating one year then going a year off and then coming back on. Yeah, I would say it was like the sparks. Like it was just like we first met again. I think it was even more because it was like so much healthier and so much better. We started having like a lot of problem. The first time we dated, we had a lot of problems a lot like pretty early on into the relationship.

So things got kind of toxic early on. So I think things were even better when we got back together and it was great. Sorry to interrupt, but if you could please share this podcast episode with your grandma, I feel like she just really loved to listen to it. Also, maybe you're your step-mom, would that be a good person to share it with? Or your personal trainer? Personal trainer.

That could also be good. What do we think about sharing it with your gym buddy? Would that be good? Would that be good? What about your neighbor's mom? Your neighbor's mom. Or maybe even your neighbor's dog. I mean yeah

Potentially this would be good for a dog to listen to I don't know I've heard dog podcasts are really on the rise I don't know if we would definitely like fall in that category. Give us a good bark, Matt My gosh, um share this podcast with your neighbor's mom's dog if you could if you could just do that We'd really appreciate it. Tell me about how you got your your wife such a beautiful engagement ring I think I think engagement ring might be the prettiest engagement ring ever see that is that thing is fat okay can we just say it can I just say it that thing is that's amazing that's amazing yes or she she actually is the one that kind of helped.

You picked it up. I won the biggest one. In a sense, she designed it. So we worked with the company, Helzberg, and they helped us get the ring, and we haven't looked back. I mean, I just look at the ring now. What was the day of the proposal like? So I was so nervous like absolutely So nervous, but I had told Sophia so I'm growing up. I worked at a veterinarian's office

Okay, and so I told her that hey, it was around Thanksgiving. I said they're having a Thanksgiving party for the vet and they're doing it at this big church and My boss's the veterinarians were very religious. And so, you know, that was not far-fetched to say, hey, they're, you know, they're renting out a church to do this Thanksgiving party. I was like, yeah, there's gonna be guest speakers

like other veterinarians coming and speaking from the community. I was like, we've got to dress up. It's a nice dinner. And to put it in perspective, I always pick up on things like surprises. I know everything that's going on. I can, but I had no idea. He honest though had no idea. He knew is going on. No idea

He started bringing it he started bringing it up like a month ahead of time for weeks No idea really for really it's weird because like always no He didn't know about hers, which I still have a hard time believing because like she told me she wanted me to propose in Disney World, but I had told her so many times like no I don't think that's a good idea. We should hold off that she just did not think it was gonna happen. And then I decided to do it anyway. But you see, you're saying like,

you really don't even have an English. And you didn't? You really didn't. I didn't. You had an inkling? No. Exposed. Where are you exposing me right now?

The truth is coming out. I honestly have been so long. I literally actually don't remember the reality of I remember being really shocked In the moment you were shot you were crying afterwards. You were so shocked. You're like is this real? Nobody of our family or friends. Yeah, just a bunch of strangers Yeah, just a bunch of strangers he ended his iPhone to have And I'm doing it like a Mickey shirt. Yeah, and I was like this random dad took a video for us I just handed in my iPhone and did you know what was going on? No

Video he's like oh shoot Yes, of course I was like caught off guard, but I wasn't like I knew we were gonna get engaged I made the decision like a week before I had the ring for months I was like is this the right timing. I don't know is it and I just sent it So yeah, I actually did not know if you made the decision a week before. Did you get cold feet going into this? No, the honest. I got a little bit.

I got not even for the slightest second. Like I said, once I reached back out to Sophie, and we started dating again, there was no question in my mind that this is who I should spend the rest of my life with. And so, I had planned weeks before this whole engagement and everything, and I truly believe so have had no inclination, not even the slightest. She knew within eight months, but I don't even think she...

I thought it was gonna be at Christmas. I figured it was gonna be before the end of the year, but I really didn't think it was gonna be at this work party. I thought it was gonna be at Christmas today. I figured it was gonna be before the end of the year, but I really didn't think it was gonna be at this work party. I thought it was gonna be at Christmas today. But those photos, I saw the photos on Instagram and those were some nice pictures. I wanna hear more. So you show up thinking it's a vet clinic party?

Yeah, so the only thing that was weird was that when we pulled up, I had been to this building before. It used to be a church, but it's now like a place where events are held. It was actually, it's actually, it was a Catholic church and his work people there, Catholic. So it just made so much sense. Like it was just near where they lived and stuff.

And when we got there, there was no one in the parking lot. But he was like, he was trying to tell me that there was like another parking lot to the place and he even called, he called, who'd you call? Sydney, she works at the vet too. And he was acting like, hey, is everyone inside? Like too? And he was acting like hey like is everyone inside like where Like he was acting like he was on the phone with someone he worked with he was supposed to be there I would have seen

I was actually shaking when I proposed I'm repeating I repeated the same thing over and over Did you write down? I said yeah, I love you so much and I'm here because I love you so much and I just love you. Do you have this on video? Yeah, it's on our YouTube. I haven't even watched it yet. Like I don't think really because I'm like I was so nervous that I know what I was saying just didn't make sense. Yeah, I literally stopped at a gas station. I told her I was like, I've got to use a bathroom. I must have ate something. Looking back, I was liking up in the bathroom. You might have been up. Raceway gas station bathroom. That was the name of it. Did you just like look in the mirror beforehand? Just be like, and planning all of this out.

Like did you have a video crew there? Like how did you set this whole thing up? He did so good. Yeah, so I knew like what walking into this social media was it had been like six months, social media was a big part of our life and I want to include our subscribers, our followers and stuff like that in on this as well. And so I had reached out to someone that she had mentioned before for like a photo shoot

and I was like, hey y'all do video, you know. They're like, yeah, totally. So I was like, okay, we need every single one of your workers there because this has to be right. We have to get good angles, good everything. Because I was like, I have no idea about this stuff. So I was like, I'll pay whatever it takes. We've just got to get it done.

He also didn't know what any of it looked like. Like he didn't see the setup prior prior He showed up at the exact same time I didn't just hoped when the doors opened that like everything was set up the Tographer was in there So it was actually not like not expensive at all But I hired an event planner basically, and so it was worth every dime Did you think of this on your own or did your mom be like hired at that point? No, so I was your mom Every dime did you think of this on your owner did your mom be like hired in that point? No, so I was your mom I'm like sister

My sister my mom were like dude you gotta do something cuz I came up with every idea like you know How I wanted it to look etc And so her mom or sister one of them was like hey, you know This is a big thing big project so you probably need to hire someone to do it And so I was like okay, and then so I hired the event planner, told her center pictures of exactly what I wanted and she made it happen. And did you have your nails done?

Did he make sure that you had it? Good job. Did you do that? Was that you that made sure she had her nails done? I don't. My sister and I went to get our nails done, I think. Did we? That's awesome.

But I had no idea. I told myself since I thought it was me before the end of the year, I said I'm getting my nails done once a week. Like I usually don't get them done that often, but it's like I need them to be fresh. So I was getting them done all the time. Because- We're everywhere wait, she was getting it.

I know. I'm sure you guys had had the conversation. Oh yes. This wasn't just like out of the ball. No, I just thought of a really random question, but thinking of like the expenses of like putting together this proposal and like your nails and stuff like prior to doing social media you guys said you really like didn't have a lot

of money which is normal for young couples but how did this work when you guys were dating because I always wonder about dating couples that are like having a business on social media. Oh yeah. Because like our finances were obviously merged before, like we started making money. We wouldn't recommend this. We merged our finances like two years before we got married. But we weren't doing social media. We didn't do social media until we were married.

So like even just the money we were making from like your jobs. Yeah, you know what I mean? You're also poor, so it didn't really matter. So it's like making difference. It's cute. But we knew we were gonna get married. So we're like, whatever we can scrap together, it's going difference. It's cute. We knew we were gonna get married, so we're like,

whatever we can scrap together, it's going the same path. We're trying to build up like a nest egg so that we could like move somewhere cool after we got married. Oh. That was really like the wise idea, the thing that just stood for doubt. Did you guys wait to get,

wait to combine your finances to you? We did not. As soon as we started social media and we realized like, okay, we're making money from this, like I said, there're making money from this. Like I said, there was no doubt in my mind. When I reached back out to sofa, I had already known, this is the girl I'm going to marry. Hoping to marry, I really went to marry and there was no doubt in my mind.

Something like combining finances didn't scare me at all because I had, there was literally zero doubt that I was not gonna marry Sophia. Like, it was 100% that was gonna happen. Which also, it's kind of like, if you do social media, we didn't really know how we would even split money. We didn't think about it, but I don't even know how we would've done, I guess we would've just half-dit. Yeah, my question is how many times can we say the word social media

in the podcast? Which probably- For the two words, that's not one word. Phil, you said it like a hundred times. Chill out with that. Social media, social media, influencer creators. Yeah. Sorry, that was so weird.

So you said yes, said yes, and then we got married three months later. What was that like? Because we were engaged for a year, and I, I keep getting credit for planning when I- You guys, four months, that's, honestly, that's the move. Yeah, honestly that's the freaking move. That's the move a lot of people were like, Oh, you're

Russian. You're doing this. You're doing that. We're like, we don't care. It's not your wedding, you know, I love that plan for a short engagement. Like even before I knew him, I was like, when I get gauged, you are someone that just like knew what you wanted in

life. And I love that about you. And she got it. She got it. All worked out really well. So but the the point the reason And she got it. She got it. It has all worked out really well, so. But the reason why we got married, the reason why we got married so fast was because I was still in school, so it was either get married that March or get married the following November.

So we were like, okay, either three month engagement or year long engagement, and we were like, we're going with three months. Because we didn't want to wait. It was his spring break. And so if we wanted to do a honeymoon after, we had to go on his spring break. So what about the summer?

I refused to get married in the summer. I told you all I have heat problems. Oh my god. And we're there, so hot. I have heat problems. I would have passed out on our wedding day. Yeah, honestly, we had very July fixed. Oh wow.

It was through the lead outside or inside. It was inside our pictures were outside. And I was sweating. Mosquitoes were sticking to my foot. Was anybody telling you guys to slow down? Because I know, like for us, people were worried. Yeah, you were 19. Wait, were you 18 when you were 19?

No, I was 19. You were 19 when you were engaged. So, whoa, this episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. Sometimes in life, we're faced with tough choices and the path forward isn't always clear.

Thank you better help now back to the episode where people like pump the

brakes. Anybody in your family or friends are like, Hey, don't do this yet. Like you're young, you're a teenager. Like don't get married. Like anybody saying that at all. Right. On my side, no. Like my family all for it, everything. I would say, did anyone on your side? There was not really anyone they were just like,

hey, are you sure? Like as far as like the engagement and the fast wedding, they're really more concerned about the fast wedding. And it was just like, hey, are you sure this is what you want to do? Like are you positive? This is a big decision. And so that was just the really only concern, but I never heard someone in my close circle say, hey, this isn't a good idea.

Maybe you should wait or maybe you should slow it down. It was just like, hey, I trust you. If you think this is a good idea, then rock on. Is it fairly common where you were living or at least like people you were around to get married at that age? No. Not really. I mean, our parents got married really young, like 18 and 19. Oh, wow. Right. Both of our parents really. My parents were 21. And so I think that's why they were for it because I mean they did it so who are they to tell us? Yeah, right. Yeah, but No, it's really not that common. Wow. No, I I'm the youngest out of all like my friends and they're like none of them are married yet

Something I will say about you though just from like this or my time we spent the other we spent about 24 hours straight together so far You are so mature for your age. I'm sure you're told that all the time. Like no one would be like, like when you said you were 19, I was like, okay, mentally I knew that, but like, you just don't carry yourself again, 19. I would have thought you guys were like 23 or 24.

Yeah, cause for me, I have a little brother who's 20 and he's my little, he's a baby. You know, he's my little brother. He's also like 230 pounds, like bigger than me, stronger than me, could beat me up, but he's my little brother, he's my baby brother. But hearing that you're younger than him, I was like, what?

And you're married and you're like having a baby, that's crazy. Okay, yeah. That's, but I mean, that's awesome. I was 19 when I got engaged. Yeah. How did it feel to be, did it feel weird at all where you like awesome. I was 19 when I got engaged. Yeah, how did it feel to be, did it feel weird at all, where you like, I'm a teenager and I'm engaged?

Like was that? It feels weirder to be pregnant. And I'm like, wow, but no, to me, it doesn't feel weird. Like I said, I've always like been surrounded by people who are older than me and I've always just felt on the same like level as them. And so that's what I think confuses a lot of people too. I'm not just talking.

You're also homeschooled, correct? Like you said from first grade through high school. So I feel like that also could just like, you're not around your peers like you were saying. So then you just kind of like, if you're around your parents more, they're older than you. And so then, and my sister's older. Yeah.

Yeah, the friend group just kind of was always older So really cool. Okay, so you get married in March March was four months the good like a good amount of time By the way, did you guys like that? Or did you wish you had more or less? Was it a tough time to because I know I feel like we have It's stuck during engagement. It was 13 months for us and it sucked It was honestly since it was so quick, there was like no time, we were so almost out of time,

like I just felt like every day was like something new we had to do or like at least me, like I was just doing wedding dress things or this so it flew by, I don't even think like, we were just so excited that we, I don't think we really fought through the engagement as a whirlwind, yes. The, we're just filled with excitement.

And we knew like, okay, March 4th, like this is when it's happening. And it was just like, not that far away. So we just were so looking forward to it. If it weren't for having a ton of help, like for my mom, she was basically like my wedding planner. We would have had to have more time. Like, I think six months would be like a good, you know, you got to move fast, but six months is more comfortable than I think, like the three four month period that we had,

but I had so much help. So the wedding day looks beautiful. Like I keep time out your dress, but like even your robe before, the details, it's like it looks so elegant, so beautiful. Thank you. Was there anything from that day though that you guys like regret? Cause I see these videos all the time. It's like things that would change my wedding. But maybe it's so fresh that's like, you don't have that perspective yet? Or I don't know. How do you feel?

I don't have anything I would change. I think it's funny because everything definitely didn't go perfectly like smoothly. There's like, there's a very minor things. But like to me, I wanted everything to be so perfect. And so there's just a lot of awkward things that kept happening that just silly things. But it's just funny because.

Our first dance was the most awkward thing in the world. He talks about it all the time. It was terrible. Because number one, I told so if I didn't want to spinner around and dip her because I was like You're dripped to my dress ripped it. No on our entrance are wedding interests No, or entrance. He spun me around and dip me rip my bustle off my dress And I was like great. That was our wedding entrance. Can't do that again

I told her a million times. I was like I'm going to drop you your train like if you spin around It's gonna wrap around your ankles. So her train or whatever. Thinking of just a year later, like around my ankles. We can do it. We could do it in the living room a million times, but you don't have a train wrapping around my ankles.

That's like a rope. And so I did it, and sure enough, I step on our dress when I go to Dipper, and so it's like super tight when I go to lift her back up. And so I was like, well, I'm not gonna let you fall So I just pulled her right back up and it just ripped the back of her dress And then we went straight into the first dance. I was flustered It was just like she was like talking to the crowd during our first dance

And I was like whisper in the ear. I was like, so this is not the time you can joke later It sounds like you don't like to dance very much. Are you are you begging to dancing? Dude, I do not have a rhythm bone in this body ever. We stood there like going like this. Like when I did my dance with my dad, you're like, you know, moving around. It was so comfortable, but with Taylor, I was like, you're just moving like this.

And I was like, this is terrible. So, and I was already nervous for it because I'm just watching you dancing just- Dancing for background and ballet. So I feel like for you, did you have to kind of take the reins and show them the way when you're on the dance floor? We tried to practice so much before the wedding. I was like, we have to practice.

You can't even walk very easily in a circle. We took like one step back, one step forward. It was just like back and forth. It was the... It's on YouTube if you want to check it out. I mean, it just wasn't. It wasn't it. It wasn't it.

Did they put seven up in your champagne glasses? Because that's what they did for us. We were 20 and 21. So they're like, you're not getting alcohol here. So here's some seven up sparkling cider. We had sparkling cider. Honestly, it tastes so much better than wine. Yeah, it was great.

Yeah, did you have sparkling cider? Did you have the real deal? I had the real deal. I experienced the real deal. See, I just didn't say anything. I was like, ah, whatever. Like, I know I just turned 21 when it was our wedding. I was like, ah, it's, it's fine. I'll just drink the seven up. But that's nice. You got the real deal.

Sparkling cider is a step up from seven up. I think I picked this sparkling cider over the champagne all day long. Yeah. That is good. Yeah. It's crazy that you can be married, but not legally able to drink in the United States. Isn't that funny? Kind of crazy. So funny. Kind of crazy. And serve your country.

You can serve your country. We were just talking about it. Right, in the room. Yeah, that makes no sense. But I think once you turn 21, you're like, I don't care anymore. I guess I can legally drink now. So it's like, it doesn't bother me.

But that is kind of weird. Yeah, I technically have two years so I can have alcohol. And I'm gonna have like probably two baby. It's crazy. So that's fun. You're like, I've had two epidurals. Yeah. That is fun. Would you change the thing about the wedding or do you, how do you, how do you feel about how it went overall? I wouldn't change anything. They were so great. It was the most like best day of my life. Yeah, they had a hilarious and viral tick-tock.

Then you see Matt. What was it? I feel like a lot of people that like wait till marriage can relate to. It was like when you come back from your honeymoon. Wasn't that what it was? Oh, it was like, and you're like, what's your friends or family? And it's like everyone knows. Yeah, my grandma the day after was like talking to us. And I was like, grandma, can we pump the brakes on this conversation?

We did you all see family the day after? The day after. The morning after we had a breakfast. Because so many We did, we didn't see family the day after. The day after. The morning after we had a breakfast. Because so many people traveled and we wanted to say hi to them and like thank them for traveling. Yeah. Yeah. Which I mean, like I'm glad we did that, but it was a little, a little awkward.

Not at my most recommended thing. Like everyone's thinking about it, you know? You're never, whenever, whenever one of my friends gets married, like you're like, they just, they're doing it. Matthew. I don't know, like, I think that every time someone gets married, or like when you're ahead once. When you're a kid too, and your teacher gets pregnant, you're like, they just, they're doing it. Yeah, Matthew. I don't know, like, uh. So I think that every time someone gets married, or like, when you're ahead, what's, when you're a kid too, and your teacher gets pregnant,

you're like, they had sex. I think that, like, you were doing it. I was like, you're doing it, you're doing it, you're doing it, you're doing it, you're doing it. She's not, I'm not. Once I had the talk, I was like, oh my gosh, Miss Sally did it, like, what? What?

That's what happened to your buddy at the end of the class. Yeah, dude, you see her tell me. She got knocked off Y'all she didn't want to get out that is That is crazy. Oh my god. That was really funny. Oh, are you guys still in love? We are more than like five minutes. Okay. Have you had your first fight post or marital fight? Oh, yes, I don't know what it was though. Oh my god Yeah, but nothing like serious like it's like it's like it's always like sof's moody and I'm like

Yeah, or like I'm playing Fortnite or something and she's not happy. See those are red flags is like we still haven't had I'm sorry. Oh my god. I kind of think of what I'm a Gerard like post I've had so many I can had so many, I can't even think of one. Like if I said no, that would be a lie. Like there's been something. Like you knew, something we've had a fight. Right. What about on the honeymoon?

Did we? I don't think we actually had any fights on the honeymoon. I feel like we definitely had one. Definitely one in here. I think we had one. You were not happy about something. Yeah, Abby lost her wedding ring. The day of the first day of the honeymoon Abby lost her wedding ring the day of the first

day of the honeymoon lost the wedding ring. Oh my gosh, did you cry? She was so upset. I wasn't really wasn't as much because of the ring, but at the time we like we really that was such an investment. Yeah. And I just felt so bad. I was like Matt spent all that money on that ring. Do you know how you lost it? Can't figure out for the heart Matt's soul. The band was still on my finger. Do you have insurance on that thing? Yes, we did. Okay, I was gonna say.

We had insurance from the second one. We got insurance. I think we have insurance. I might, honestly, don't know if I paid the insurance. And why? I probably, honestly, we probably don't have insurance from your ring anymore. We wouldn't have had insurance the day after our wedding.

We got it after like two months after the wedding. Oh crap, yeah, that's not good. No. Yeah You want That would have been a bum. Did you enjoy the honeymoon? Yeah See for me. I'm not really like This what's the word like nostalgic about things? The specific right I know yeah, I just mostly felt like so guilty. Yeah I was like, I also felt stupid. How did that happen?

I don't know. People lose their way. We tried our best. We tried to figure out where we've come to the conclusion that it got stolen. Yeah, probably. Yeah. Wow. Yeah, because I didn't have the band soldered to the ring and the ring was still on my

finger. So I'm like, I wouldn't have just put my put the or the band was still on my finger. So I'm like, I wouldn't have just put my, or the band was still on my finger. I wouldn't have just put the band on at the hotel in the morning and not the ring. So something happened at the airport literally as I was going through security. Because right when we got to the other side of security, I felt for it and it wasn't there.

So it like fell off. Or someone took it. Which I find that really hard to believe, but people swear to me when I tell them the story. They're like, pickpockets can take thing like accessories off of you. Wow without you knowing I'm like I don't know it probably fell off and someone picked it up off the ground. Yeah. Yeah. How was the honeymoon you guys went to Kier Sa? Right? Yeah.

It was awesome. Where is that by the way? I don't know. I think I think it's next. I looked at the map. It's like you see a Ruba? I don't know where Ruba is. But where a Ruba is on the map, it's like right there. Yeah. Here's how it sounds to me like a really good seasoning that you put on like chicken. You're right.

You're passing the cure, so you like sprinkle it on. Isn't it? Isn't it called not cure? It's cure, so. I used to think it was Caracco. Caracco. That's what we're like. We're it was Caracco. Caracco. That's what we're like. We're going to Caracco.

We said that for the longest time. We get there, they're like, welcome to Kira Sal. We're like, oh. We shared it on social media so much. And you're like, we're going to Caracco. So we might need to switch our fights. 100 times. We said Caracco.

I'm sorry, I need to see. Did you ever think you're looking up? Like, just like, dude. And Google, I always like look up to the pronunciation of things I do the same thing I'm like oh yeah, Caracco It's in our lives. We're calling it Caracco too Our parents are like yeah Taylor and so for going to Caracco We're on our wedding day like y'all are pulling up. Oh, I guess it's like Morocco's twin. I don't know what it's like. Y'all are pulling up. Oh, the guys. I guess it's like Morocco's twin. I don't know. I mean, I mean, I mean.

Dude, at this point, I just want to call it a crocodile now. That's what I was like. We're probably fending the whole entire population of a few years now. One million percent. They did. We are so sorry.

We are so, so sorry. But we did contribute to your tourism. So, I mean, that's good. The people there, we talk about them all the time. What's her name, Denny Lee? The people at the St. Louis Resort,ort They were the best they were so funny fun Sweetest people ever we we did go to sandals and our honeymoon or the night our first night there we walked outside There was not a single person there. They had a beach like disco party. Whoa

Did you ever did you ever use protection or no there was never no natural natural natural protection? Yes. Yeah, I get what you're saying.

I guess. I guess. You heard? Everybody says that and I'm like it's not, that's not really a way to prevent. I don't think it's a good thing. That's why we weren't being like that protective. We weren't.

I was just a little oblivious. So I feel like people are so irrational. You know, like I think of myself as like a very logical like, you know, planner, I think with certain things. And then like, and then you just realize like humans are just so irrational. I feel like with that, like if you don't have like a firm plan in place for protection, it's going to happen.

Right. In the moment, there's situations like, you know, there's fertility and all that stuff too, but like you got to be prepared for that because if you're only doing the pull out method and then something happens, like boom, you're, you have a bad. It is your PSA. This is a PSA for everyone. Madness. It won't happen. How we got pregnant. That's true. I was going to, we were fine with it though. It was like if it happens, it happens. Yeah, and I'm excited like totally. Oh yeah, and I can tell by the way that you guys both have talked about it, like you guys are so ready

and so excited. That's amazing. And so tell me about the moment you found out, it was a girl. That was crazy. Wait, hold up, but finding out, we skipped a step. Oh yeah, I was in the beginning. I was in the beginning.

I felt like I was there. Wait, I didn't see the video. I want to know how you felt. Yeah, so everyone in my family was like convinced I was pregnant because they were all asking like, I kinda made comments about how I was late. You know, and it became like five days in. And everyone knew that.

Oh, you waited five days to test. Because I was so, I was like, I'm not, I also didn't wanna take a bunch of tests and see, that's how I was. That's how I was. I wanted just a positive. Yeah, that's how I was. I also didn't think she was either. Which, looking back, I'm like, guys, I have the most, like,

normal cycles, I guess you could say. And so it was so obvious, like, it was five days late. And so anyways, he, I got up one morning, early in the morning, and while he was asleep, I didn't tell him I was taking one. He didn't even know I bought tests. And I was sleeping like, I was on the couch watching the Master's Golf tournament. So it wasn't like I was sleeping like at your house or whatever. It was in the middle of the day.

Yeah. And no, this was in the morning. When I took the test, I didn't tell you until later, I didn't tell him to the next day. We were at my, we were living at my parents' house. This is before we got our apartment. We were living at my parents' house. And I was like, I've got to figure out a way to tell him when no one else is around. Like when we're at my, we were living at my parents house. This is before we got our apartment. We were living at my parents house, and I was like, I've got to figure out a way to tell him when no one else is around. Like when we're at my parents house.

Were you so excited? Yes. Oh my god. I would have to tell him right after. I was always like that person. I would have to tell him right after. I ended up not telling him till the next day, because we were just around family.

Like I couldn't get him alone. And I wanted to tell him in like, like you know, I had always dreamed of the telling him and like doing the sweet stuff. So I literally had to wait until the next day. He fell asleep on the couch and I ran up into my room, set up the stuff, and then got him to come up. And then we told my like family right after.

That same day. So yeah, it was a hard day. To not, like when he didn't know. I was the one who knew for a whole day. Oh gosh. And where you was your first like instinct, excitement, sadness, a mix of both, like how did you feel initially when you found out you were pregnant?

Excitement. I mean, I've literally just always wanted to have kids. And so I was so excited. I was shocked though. Yeah. I just didn't, I don't know. In my head, I felt like I was gonna be pregnant, but I was so convinced it was gonna be negative.

I saw a video that I couldn't relate to more. It was like me looking at a positive pregnancy test, knowing fully well what it takes to make it be. You can just still just be like, no more in the, I can do so. It's such a weird feeling when it's personal to you. You're like, okay, whoa.

And it's like, the realization is at the same time, it's like it's happening right now. Right. It's not like, oh, you're gonna be, or you can. You are. You are, right. And that's in you, and you're thin for a little,

maybe maybe like a hot two weeks or so. I don't know. So. Taylor, how did you feel? It was so like, like I said, I didn't have any inclination. I was just like, ah, she's not pregnant. I was scared she was gonna be mad.

And really? And so, well, that's sad. Because he was so back and forth. He was so back and forth on if he wanted a kid right now or not. And so I was like, oh my gosh, like what if he does it? But he was excited. And so I walked in, she had this thing and it said,

hello daddy, you can't wait to meet you. And it was like all the pregnancy tests. And it's like I was so happy, but at the same time I was not expecting it. So I was so shocked. On top of that, you have this feeling of nervousness as well. Like, you know, am I ready? Like, well, you don't have a choice at that point,

but it's like, okay, you know, you have to be ready. But I don't know, it's just like nervousness, shock, and excitement. Like, and now it's just, I feel like now it's all excitement. Like I cannot imagine life different already than how it is right now. So, so yeah, in the moment, it was just like, all those emotions, but at no point was I like, dang it, or, you know, mad or anything like that.

I'd just. Sweet. Was your family just thrilled? My mom dropped to the floor and hysterically cried her eyes out. Oh my gosh. I'm excited. Yes. Wow.

And his mom cried. Everyone was so excited. They were shocked. I think his family was more shocked. They really thought we were waiting. Yeah. But my mom kind of knew I was like too excited to wait that long.

So I think she knew it was coming sooner than later, but yeah, they were shocked and so excited. Now you're 19 pregnant, 19 pregnant. I'll be 20 when she's here. You could have your own. Yeah. You guys could like start your own teen pregnancy show. Wait, you didn't, you know how people post and they're like, I beat teen pregnant

to your ever. Like on the 20th of the day. Yeah, well, I didn't. You didn't. Wow. That should be, you should make that. It was planned though. It should be a title of one of your YouTube videos. I didn't beat teen.

I didn't beat you. No. That's so, but it's just so cool how mature you are and how you guys have, I don't know, grown so close. And this was just like, it's a beautiful thing. It's a really exciting thing. So I'm just like, I'm so excited are and how you guys have, I don't know, grown so close and this was just like, it's a beautiful thing, it's a really exciting thing. So I'm just like, I'm so excited for you guys. It's amazing, it's a little girl.

Yes, the name picked out. No, we talk about it all the time. We like a lot of names, but it's just, I'm the worst at making decisions. I need someone to make it for me. I'm like, I don't think I can make that big of a decision. The name of our child, I don't know. That's like the biggest decision to make it for me. I'm like I don't think I can make that big of a decision the name of our Child, I don't know that's like the biggest decision. I feel like there is so we're struggling I think we had some more boy ideas in our head because I thought it was a boy

And then we thought it was a girl and I was like, well, I don't know. I have no idea So we hear names where we're like yeah, those are cute, but they don't like Feel like your name. So. It's funny. I think in our current environment, a lot of people feel the need to make this like super unique name.

Do you think you'll go for a more unique name or more of like a normal, like I don't wanna say normal, but like a name like Matt or a name like Abby or something more different? Like we all have common names, right? Yeah, us too. Yeah, I don't think we'd go for like,

I don't think we'd thrown around any names that are like, super unique. Yeah, absolutely. None of them are like a super one you don't hear often. I feel like, I don't know. I really just, I don't know. Yeah, but I don't even know how to find names. I'm like on the internet and I'm looking up like girl names.

Girl names, girl names. How are you feeling right now? You made it through the first trimester. Was that pretty tough, that first trimester? Yeah, I say it was, and then I hear other people's stories, and I'm like, wow, I'm such a baby. I had it so much better than most people do, but I have just a solid month in the first trimester

where I was so sick. But after that, I feel asymptomatic. Is that what you would say? And I'm just chilling. I would forget I was pregnant sometimes because I didn't have a bump. I was having no symptoms. So I felt great ever since that one month.

Wow. And you're just chilling right now. Just chilling. She's eating everything inside, but I mean, I'm gonna be hungry. I'm hungry and you're just chilling right now. I need to just chillin'. She's eating everything inside, but I mean, she's hungry and you're eating more right now. Definitely me. Definitely her, but it has rubbed off on me. She's eating like five meals a day, so I'm like,

well I have to eat five meals. Yeah. It's a good thing. I was like on the gym grind, but she's over here eating pizza and ice cream, and I'm like, I can't watch you, I have a join. I know you guys shared in a recent YouTube video about how you had a really scary incident,

a health scare that came up. I believe it was just a couple weeks ago or a month ago or so. Talk to me about that, what exactly happened? There was, you know, what exactly is going on I guess? Yeah, so I have a heart condition. It's called Wolf Parkinson White. I've had it ever since I was little,

but as the doctors told me as I got older, I could grow out of it. And basically what it is, I have an extra pathway in my heart that most people don't have. And it can get triggered sometimes. Caffeine can trigger it, being super active can trigger it. And once it gets off on that extra pathway, it just gets thrown off into like a crazy cycle

and my heart rate just jumps up. So like it just jumps from 80 to 200 just by sitting here. And so as I was getting older, I kind of leaned off my medication, stopped worrying about caffeine because I started noticing no symptoms. You know, my episodes, that's what we call it. Like every time that would happen in an episode, they just stopped happening really. And so I hadn't had one

for years. And then now that I'm pregnant, I was just sitting on the couch maybe two weeks ago. And I'm just sitting. I'm not even doing anything. And my heart just goes to 200 beats, like basically it was like 198, I think. And so out of nowhere. Out of nowhere. Start beating rapidly. Out of nowhere. And you knew this feeling though. Yes.

From your previous episode. Right. And I had never gone to the hospital or anything for it because I knew I had it. I knew what I need to do to try to make it go away. You can get upside down on your head. Yeah. Or put ice packets on your wrists.

And just wait for it to go away. Usually my episodes would last like three minutes when I was younger, but this one lasted 25 minutes, and it wasn't going away no matter what I did, and it was just really scary, just knowing that I'm pregnant. It just felt weird, because when my shirt's moving, and I know there's a baby right here,

it's just freaking me out. How do you, okay, going upside down on your head, are you trying to do a handstand against the wall? It's exactly what they tell you to do. You're kidding. They tell you to literally get upside down on your head. That's kind of hard too. I feel like not everyone could do a handstand against the wall.

Right, I like to do it usually on the couch, like just get it. So it's really cool. I'm like, this is not what I feel like doing right now. My shirt's literally moving. I think it has to do with like the blood flow. Like it changes the flow of blood. Living with that conditioner,

you just like constantly practicing handstands against the wall. the flow of blood somehow. Living with that condition, are you just constantly practicing hand statistics? No. She had an episode of that. Yeah, that's true. That's true, yeah. And I honestly didn't do that as much. I would usually stick to the ice packs and just be like, all right, let's see if the ice packs work.

And they would go away pretty quickly. But this, we just immediately jumped in the car and went over to the hospital just because we were just really concerned with being pregnant and stuff. And so now I'm just on medications that are safe for pregnancy and it's just supposed to keep my heart. From going into that, like other rhythm. And so, after pregnancy, probably a month to two months afterwards, she has to have a

procedure ablation. It's called an ablation. It's where they'll burn or freeze that extra pathway in the heart to just completely eliminate it. And then she won't have the syndrome anymore. And where were you in that episode happened? Were you home? Were you away?

So I pulled up right at the house. I was literally stepping out the car and she goes, my episode, so I run inside. And you knew about this? Yeah, you already were aware of the condition. Right. And so I ran straight inside. You knew about this, yeah, you already were aware of the condition. Right. And so I ran straight inside. It got to like, she was on the phone with her mom for like the first 10 minutes.

And I was like, hey, do we need to go somewhere? You know, I want to make sure the baby's okay. I want to make sure you're okay. She's like, no, you know, I've never went to the hospital before and I was like, okay, well, we figured out or she told me that her longest one ever was like three minutes and we got to minute like 12 and I was like, no, we're going. So, we got in the car, started zooming to the hospital and it stopped right before we

got to the hospital. It always does that, you know. They checked her out and luckily I recorded on my watch like ECG so it just shows like her heart rate exactly what the rhythm looks like and everything and then that helped the doctor decide what medicine stuff like that. Do you wear a smart watch or like an or a ring or something to track your heart rate? I don't they've put me on a monitor before and had me wear it for like a week set of time just they could watch me but they didn't recommend any of that for this and she feels

like when it happens though. Like it's like immediately when it starts, she feels that other redone. I have a body feels weird. Yeah, and you can see it. I wonder if that data, I'm shocked they didn't say that. I mean, I'm obviously not a doctor, but I feel like that data would be helpful

for them to keep track of things. I don't know. I just think it's because since I'm pregnant, surgery isn't really an option. I mean, they've done it before to pregnant women, but it's just not really an option right now. So it's literally, we're just trying to wait till I deliver and then we're just gonna go ahead and do surgery.

So. So right now you really can't work out, you can't like run, are you able to, I don't do any sort of physical activity or like what are you allowed to do? I am, I mean, even before I was pregnant, they kind of just told me watch your cardio and stuff. I just don't wanna do like extensive stuff. Yeah. So I just, I mean, even before I was pregnant, they kind of just told me watch your cardio and stuff. I just don't want to do like extensive stuff.

Yeah. So I just, I mean, I'll walk, but I'm not gonna do anything like running or anything like that. So even before this incident, like you can't really go in like a long hike or a cut effect. No, definitely not recommended.

Really? And I mean, I'm, it's just known that like I've got to have a water, I typically have to sit down a lot. Like it's just, I have, I, I would pass out just all the time. I'm so sorry, that's not fun. Yeah, I got so used to it. I thought it was just normal life and I was like, you know what?

It's not really actually normal. Maybe I should just get the surgery and then I won't have to deal with this anymore. And that'll be good once you get to the surgery because all that, the quality of life will obviously go up because all those options will be available. Oh really, so once you get the procedure, you will be able to do everyday things again and go on a run or go on a hike.

Yep. Okay, that's awesome. Like I never had it, basically. Yeah. But your whole childhood you had to refrain from running and refrain from- So I grew up dancing my whole life, and that would always be when an episode would happen.

Really? I'd be in class and luckily like the instructor and everything knew, like he'd be like, get on top of your head, like he knew if I needed to and stuff. But so I danced my whole life and I was fine, but that would always just be what would trigger an episode. And so they would just say, if you don't have to, don't like, you know, take it easy and stuff.

And so I was fine. I just couldn't have caffeine like that. I couldn't have any caffeine, my whole childhood. But, and I had to stay on medication every day. Gotcha. So I'm guessing you're not a coffee drinker? No. Okay. No sodas, coffee.

Really? Stop drinking sweet tea. I had to when I was younger. Isn't there, do they make decaffeinated sweet tea? They do. Okay. That was my thing. But like, when you go to a restaurant though, and that's where she would get it in the most, is like, you wouldn't say that. It was so crushing as a kid.

They're like, no chocolate, no coke, and I was like, okay. Oh, that's so sad. It's weird, in Arizona, sweet tea isn't really a thing. It was the thing in Missouri when I grew up, like my mom loves sweet tea, my whole family, would have sweet tea. I bet most restaurants here don't even have.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's more of a sudden thing for sure, but like I grew up drinking sweet tea all the time. It's the best thing. Love sweet tea. Mm-hmm, sure. Yeah, so what's next for Taylor and Sof? I know you guys were telling me,

you have some big ambitions, some big things that you're hoping to accomplish. You being a ballerina, I think you mentioned it be amazing to one day maybe open up your own studio. Yeah. And Taylor, you were saying, you love the gym, you like working out, it would be cool to open a gym. Are those things you're hoping to do at some point in the future?

Yeah, those two things are like our dream. I feel like we're both passionate about that. Number one, being social media is our passion. So we want to grow that as much as we can. We want to show ourselves on there and connect with our audience, but at the same time, we want to have a brick and mortar type of thing. So that's just things we're walking through right now, praying about, using discernment and talking to family and friends and looking at the financial side of things and stuff

like that. So that's like us just dreaming big, but with that being said, we're dreaming big in June and we hit a lot of our dreams. So, dreaming big can definitely happen. Isn't the first year of marriage just so much fun? Like, you guys having a blast right now? A blast. On top of that, like, just the traveling and just like, the social media side of things, like that has added to that. Like, the first year of marriage is amazing, but doing it, like, now we're doing life together in the sense of like, we're traveling to Arizona. We've never been to Arizona.

We're traveling to Nevada next week. We've never been there. So like, I've like dreamed of marriage because I like to have someone to do everything with is just so fun. Like just going to sleep and waking up. You've always have like a person there with you, you know, you're not like alone. So she's my best friend. Aw.

So happy for you guys. Yeah. Well Taylor and So sweet. I'm so happy for you guys. Yeah, well Taylor and Sof, thank you so much for coming on the podcast. Yes, thank you. Thank you. Have a nice day. Thank you for flying out here. If you guys haven't checked out them on social media, you can find them on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube.

And yeah, it was just a pleasure to sit down with you guys and you guys are a very sweet, very sweet couple and you're very mature for your age. I can't believe you guys are 19 and 21. That's crazy. Thank you so much. We got the rest of the week in the hangout. Yeah, all the cameras. And I'm just very excited for you guys.

You guys are in such a cool stage of life right now and just a lot of big changes. I'm really excited for you. Can we just see that little baby girl? I'm already said, I feel like she looks just like you. She is. Definitely. Just like him.
