After years of fine print contracts and getting ripped off by overpriced wireless providers, if we've learned anything, it's that there's always a catch. So when I heard that for a limited time all Mint Mobile wireless plans are $15 a month when you purchase a three-month plan, I thought, where's the catch? But after talking to them, it all made sense. There isn't one. Mint Mobile's secret sauce is that they sell wireless services online. They don't have retail stores or salespeople. Instead, they deliver premium phone plans directly to you. As you guys know, our friend Rick Glassman, he uses Mint Mobile. I learned about Mint Mobile through George Kimmel.

George is a busy guy. He takes the most business calls. And the fact that not a single call is ever dropped. And you can use your own phone with any Mint Mobile plan and bring your phone number along with all of your existing contacts. Say goodbye to your overpriced wireless plans. Mint Mobile is here to rescue you with plans starting at $15 a month. And all plans come with high-speed data and unlimited talk and text delivered on the nation's largest 5G network.

Well, that's one way to set this up. Should we talk about it? I think we should.

Okay, let's do it. I actually don't think we should. I take that back, but I can't not anymore. Well, let's start off with the wardrobe malfunction that isn't a malfunction. It's actually a blessing. I just can't with these breasts that I've grown. I don't, they're just. Why have they grown? Why are they growing so fast? I am currently pregnant. I don't, but honestly, stop.

Just stop right there. Okay? Yes, I have been, I guess, I've been keeping a little secret, a little naughty girl. But I can't really keep it secret anymore because the stomach the uterus they're just I you know what I watched myself on the Angela White episode last week and was like oh this is not hiding I could tell I could not tell when I watched it on camera I was like there's something going on in there do you think maybe you just have pregnancy eyes that you're looking at yourself because you know this information? Maybe, but also it was either announced this or people are like secretly like Esther's really having a good holiday season. Which by the way, I wish to God

more than anything I was having a pregnancy where I could just chow down and party time and like live it up. Not at all. I've had like debilitating acid reflux. So I haven't been able to enjoy food. But I did just yesterday start a prescription antacid. So I might be chowing down now. Can I tell you guys what it was like the first couple of weeks of Esther pregnant?

She would FaceTime me. And I'm not kidding you. I don't know if you just started producing like too much saliva. Remember that? And you would have to have a towel or a napkin because if you didn't like spit into it, you would just start like drooling on the side. You're foaming at the mouth basically. Which no one had warned me that that was a pregnancy symptom. And I still don't know if it is. I think it was a nausea symptom. Because you know how you foam in the mouth before you, when you get nauseous? I attributed it to like an acid reflux thing

where I was just producing so much. Also, I mean, there's so much to say and it's all negative. No, I'm grateful, obviously. It's so beautiful. It's a beautiful thing. But it has been, I'm just going to be, I'm keeping it real. It has been so challenging as you guys, everyone here knows.

So Whitney lied. Whitney lied. Whitney, this is my headline. Whitney and I are having very different pregnancies. Because she didn't even notice the first 10 weeks. We just had her on tiger belly. And she was like, I didn't feel a thing. Which is because those were the hardest, worst.

I remember. I'm not kidding you guys. Like she projectile vomited on FaceTime. Also those recordings where I can't remember like the Handmaid's Tale episode that we recorded. I was so sick that day. I remember. I was barely functioning. And yes, there was one of my most memorable vomit moments in the first trimester.

I'm just so people know, I'm like halfway through right now. I'm like probably around five months pregnant right now, four and a half, five months. And we just had like a good 20-week scan yesterday. So I'm happy about that. But it's, I've had, because I've had pregnancy loss before, I had a miscarriage two years ago, the fear never goes away. So that's also why I haven't wanted to talk about it because I'm like, anything could happen. And that's still the case. Anything can happen. But I'm just like, you know what? That's life. And we'll deal with whatever comes our way we love donut we'll we'll be okay

no matter what um but one of my most memorable vomits was a night where I was laying in bed Dave was out playing poker which he's been doing my whole pregnancy he's also been driving you around no he's been amazing passenger princess yeah I know he drove you to the Taylor Swift concert oh you don't forget anything no because Gene called me and I was like what are you doing No, he's been amazing. Passenger princess. Yeah. I know he drove you to the Taylor Swift concert. You don't forget anything. No, because Gene called me and I was like, what are you doing? He's like, oh, I got to meet Dave at the casino because he's driving Esther to the concert. I was like, oh, okay, great.

Which I never get that. Like that's not a relationship. But pregnancy, I'm getting the relationship I've always wanted. I'm receiving love for two is like forget eat for two, receive love for two. That's like the whole, that's the most, the best part. But there was a night where I was, I'll just, this night will like, I will never forget this night. I was laying in bed and I felt it was starting to get hard to breathe. There was a heaviness in my chest and I hadn't, I've never experienced that in my life. And that was a very new thing for me.

Even in pregnancy, I was like, this is scaring me. It's hard. I'm, and it's hurting. And of course, what's the first thing I do? I FaceTime Kalilah. I don't call 911. I'm going to be of any help if you're having anything serious happening. But it is funny, like how the comfort of someone of someone you know who went to nursing school is better

than 911. Like did it ever occur to you that nursing school was a whole decade ago and maybe I don't remember much? No, but you're up to date. I swear. You're so up to date. You know so much. Like you're so humble about it, but you have like medical blood.

Like you're like reading medicinal journals on the side like you know i trust you especially the when we first bonded was when i was on a stand-up tour in australia one of my uh or new zealand one of my uh lymph nodes was swollen and one wasn't i texted you you that whole, I barely knew you. We had just, this was a 10 years ago. We just met and you knew everything what to do. Like I was like augmented. Yeah. And I, I feel like not, I hope it's not offensive, but like you're my on-demand nurse. That's how I fell in love with you. I'm so not qualified. By the way, if it's something I can't answer, then I'll ask my sister. And that's how it filters. So my sister is a final word because I'm like, hey, is this correct? And she's like, yeah. And you never pretend to know things you don't.

You're always like the first to be like, I don't know. Do you tell me where to go? I didn't help you this time though. Well, okay. So I was like, it was a heaviness. I was struggling to breathe. I FaceTime you and I'm like, Kalilah, like I'm having a hard time breathing and you're just kind of looking at me like sad.

And then within four seconds, I'm like, I got to go. I get up off the FaceTime. I run to the bathroom and I don't make it there. I just vomit all over the bedroom floor. Violent, painful, acidic. The vomit is red. I didn't eat anything red. It wasn't blood. And so that was like probably the most. And then that night also Whitney was vomiting too in Long Island.

And so we faced. You guys are tethered. So after that, then I FaceTimed you and I was like, okay, I just vomited. That must've been the most relieving thing to just be like, okay, that was that. It was. When you can connect the dots, it feels good. It does, but it was such a traumatic vomit. I know. I remember. It probably came out your nose. Oh no. What? You haven't, you haven't had a traumatic vomit if it's not coming out from everywhere. Have you ever double dragoned? What are you talking about? Where you're vomiting and

shitting at the same time. What are you talking about? I'll ask Annie. I need Annie for the double dragon. I need Annie for my double dragon reference. Is that like a phrase? If there's anyone who knows who's had, who's double dragon before I know his name. Well, I'm double dragon. I'm triple dragon. But I do remember that. And I do remember looking at you and thinking like, oh, you look nauseous. Like, you know, you don't usually, you know, like there's usually.

That's not visual. But it is. You were like a little bit gray or green. I was like, oh, she's not visual. But it is. You were like a little bit gray or green. I was like, oh, she's not well. And you were foaming at the mouth like a rabid dog. I was like, oh, she's going to blow. That was a bad night. I've had some violent vomits.

And I've had some baby vomits. Some just like spit up ones. Thankfully, now that I'm in like the second trimester, I'm not vomiting. But this is my headline about the second trimester where everyone's like, oh, this is like the time trimester. I'm not vomiting, but I'm, this is my headline about the second trimester where everyone's like, oh, this is like the time to shine. Like you're going to be a glowy goddess. You're going to feel so much energy. No, I would say it's better, but I'm not good. I do think you are very, very pretty. Happy Thanksgiving. Oh my God, Randy. Oh my God. The pregnancy has been revealed.

I just found out Esther's pregnant from the back. I knew something was up. We've been keeping it a secret from Annie. Can you imagine? I would be so livid if this is how I found out. We're also going to have like a full on baby shower. Congratulations. We're so excited you guys know now.

And she's allowed to chew gum whenever the fuck she wants. But say it into the mic. Stella, wait, what'd you say? We're going to have like a proper baby shower. Yeah. Yes, of course. Are you kidding me? Let's have three.

Thank you because I will not have one if I don't do it here on this show. Well, I will say something too. I had a dream that you were also pregnant and I was actually pissed. I was like, guys, I feel like you're putting pressure on me. A little disrespectful. Wait a second though. Are you're putting pressure on me. A little disrespectful. Wait a second, though. Are you? I don't know.

I don't want to be told. You don't know? Don't tell me. Guys, I'm going to be the rigid, fucking dried up bitch on the show with these two juicy pregnant women. You're fertile. I am fertile. And you also, you have healthy embryos. Yeah, confirmation from a doctor.

I actually am doing great, guys. Sorry, doctor. I actually am doing great, guys. Sorry, guys. I actually am doing great. I'm more fertile than her. I actually think in the last year. Why is it a competition? In the last year and a half. Listen, it's life, baby.

You got three bitches together. We're going to compete. In the last year and a half, I feel like my body's definitely changing. I have this fear that I'm perimenopause. I think you're not, but I also had that fear. Really? Yeah. I think you just need, but I also had that fear. Really? Yeah. I think you just need to get all the tests I got and they'll tell you the same thing.

Oh, okay. You look juicy. Doesn't she look juicy? She does. I don't want to like, I feel weird that we're relying on looks for fertility, but I also do think there's some truth to it. And also you've gotten pregnant, no offense, so many times. Yeah, no offense.

You've really hoed it up in there. You've gotten pregnant. You've partied. You've really hoed it up in there. You've gotten pregnant. You've partied. You've partied with sperm and eggs. Yeah, but wouldn't it make sense that the universe wouldn't give me one now because I had? No, it's not how that works. No.

Okay. But maybe that's why you are feeling these things. You're having baby guilt. But I'm not having – maybe, maybe. But that always enters your mind, right? Even if you're so pragmatic and so progressive about your ideas about abortion, there is always that feeling, at least for me, where you're like, fuck, like what if that was my only chance? Like I'd be lying if I said,

you know, I didn't think of those things. I think that's a very normal thought to have. And it would almost be weird if you didn't have like these weird afterthoughts about having abortions and stuff. Like even me, this whole time since my miscarriage two years ago, I've been like, that was never a baby. Like I've had no attachment to it. But even now I get a, I'm like, oh, what if, what if, you know, so I think it's just normal. Any pregnancy loss, whether elective or not, like's gonna be it's we're just animals but wait it's so exciting you're pregnant I've been dying I've been you guys missed the trimester that was the most disgusting and make fun of all I have been dying for you guys to know how disgusting this woman is she like okay if you guys are og bloodbathers you know how Esther

eats popcorn. She slams it. She punches herself in the face with the popcorn. She was doing that, but with leaky saliva. That's what I was just saying. But with like a handful and like just okay with it. Just totally fine. Like I'm not vomiting.

I'm like, do I have to have morning sickness just looking at you? And it's like, and it's funny because Whitney's like, that's not a symptom, which it is a symptom. I know it's a symptom, but it's so funny when he's like, that's not even a symptom. Whitney thinks Esther's completely made up any like hard pregnancy things. And I don't blame her. It's for some reason, it's just magical on her. It was going to happen this way for you and it was going to happen this way for her.

Annie, you came in with quite the look today. Guys, well, I wanted them. Okay, this was the plan. And you guys absolutely rule. I want to just give shout outs and thankfulness to this new production team. You guys are unbelievable. We love you so much. I feel carried and held by you. I said last minute, I said, I would like to dress like a pilgrim and show up as a pilgrim without them knowing and like have a pilgrim reveal to overshadow your pregnancy reveal but they couldn't get it together in time so this is what they came up with instead which seems true seems good I love that but wouldn't it have been funny if I came up like waist up in pilgrim that would be actually hot we

should have done that maybe with the boobs but I asked them like last night. Wait, can we see also the baby you have? Okay. My boy has been sick, so he's coming to work with mommy. Wait, what's going on? It's been a series of unfortunate events for my poor Randy. Was it a UTI? He had a UTI. That was part of it.

So first he had fleas and they gave him the oral medicine, which is not meant for a little baby. He's an innocent little boy. He's not supposed to be swallowing flea medicine. Wait, really? So he had a horrible, well, it turns out. But he's just a little precious boy. He shouldn't do anything that's,

he's got a low immune system, obviously. He's born with mange. You're like already, you're a mommy. No, I am a mom. I am a mom. But I'm telling you, after my ayahuasca thing, I'm like really like, poor Todd. I'm like, no more hot fries in the house. We ain't eating snacks from the, I'm like, this can't happen.

We can't be, I'm not having a junk food child. I know we already have one in the family. You're like feeding it onions already. He's not moving. He's, listen, he's always been a floppy, docile lover, but he's, he's very – this is Esther in bed. Just kidding. She'd be perched her ass up. But anyway, that's for you guys to see in her set. But he – I think he's just – he's on a lot of antibiotics. Oh, okay.

He looks so – But he is always floppy like this. Can you call me baby Jesus? Yes. Do you think he'll – He looks like he's resting in peace. Yeah, he looks like maybe an old lady. He loves his bag, too.

This was the hair. Aw. Oh, my God. This is my prince. I have to say, you look good in a baby carrier. She's trying to curse me with a baby. I know. And it really is a curse.

Like, that's the thing is is i don't want to talk people out of pregnancy maybe take his little thing off oh it's okay oh always stranger danger so cute he's a good boy he's like i have to know her oh it's mommy oh my god it's actually he has two speeds yeah hyper crazy zoomies yeah and. And oh my God, he wants to. He wants my baby. He's eating my baby. He's hungry. That was a big joke early on.

We were like joking that Donut would be like, I accidentally ate the, because it's so little. Oh my God, he smells your snatch. He smells that turkey. Can we pull up Chanuk? I mean, since. Come here, baby. What? This is just one other thing you have to be afraid of

during pregnancy it's c-h-a-m-a-k is it cat poop no it's a it's a baby thief isn't there cat poop you're like not yeah yeah but yeah because of toxoplasmosis yeah is that not a vote for dogs dogs rule vote for dogs dogs rule no it's oh my. I've had so many weird, like, weepy little... I'm so excited. Our baby's having a baby, Kalilah. I know. This feels both strange but also incredible. But the whole toxoplasmosis thing,

or at least I learned in microbiology class, it can cause, like, mental illness down the road. What, cat? Yeah, if you have, like, an outdoor cat and then the mother gets exposed to like a protozoan, like toxoplasma. Yeah. You have to not garden, not go near cat litter. Not cook or clean.

Or wipe your butt. It's really hard. But Esther, here's something i want to scare you about okay oh she's not easily and it's a filipino it's a filipino um monster called it's your baba duke a filipino it's baba and then there was a thing i would never say because that's really not a good word wait how is maybe i'm wrong about this chanak is like baby demon right what is the one that steals babies? You're asking me?

We'll get back to it. Tap into your Asian. Make it happen. Oh, he looks cute. So cute, right? He looks a little bit like Dave. Esther, Dave mixed together. Now, do you think, I think your kid's going to be cool. And I know that it's against some odds. He needs, you got to bring this baby over to me for like once every three months. For a scare?

I got this. I'm going to make this baby tough. For a scary sleepover? Wait, okay. Actually, did you guys ever have sleepovers or hang out with your mom's friends? What? Wait, I know it does sound crazy, but I'm trying to like think. Wait, what do you mean? I brought this up'm trying to think. Wait, what do you mean?

I brought this up to Dave and he was like, what are you talking about? I would occasionally go have a sleepover at my mom's friend's house. Wasn't this just them babysitting you? I don't think it was a sleepover. Okay, this is your mom calling her friends and being like, help me with this child. I'm going to lose my mind. This was like a postpartum like support group right and then calling it a sleepover so it wouldn't hurt your feelings I think I wanted to do it I think I was

like oh that would be I think I was the ringleader I had women my mom's age that my mom was friends with like take me place on excursions okay so similar yeah it was like a like a cool older person yeah it's kind of really fun. I went to Longwood Gardens. Can you look up Longwood Gardens to show them this beautiful Philadelphia haunt? I have a question, Esther. Do you think you're going to dump Annie and I because we're not moms and you're going to find your own mom friends?

No, we would dump her. We dump the moms. The moms don't dump us. I think moms get dumped. You think? Yeah. Yeah, I do. I'm ready.

I'm getting my last little look into there. I think it is. That's beautiful. I think it is a real. It's not that good to look at. It's it's. That's where my Michaela Majoon, this this this this DJ that my mom used to work with used to take me here. I think this is a very real like women in your 30s, like conversation of when certain friends have kids and certain ones don't it's kind of impossible to like keep it up the same way that it was like I've I struggle with that with friends who have kids right I think it's definitely you're on a different pace but it's it's for me like it's a little more selfish it's like I when my friends had kids when I was still very worried about my fertility and didn't have Todd and like, wasn't sure if I was going to be able to have kids, it was very confronting. And

when I was around the baby, I would, which was pretty selfish. Like I wasn't able to just kind of like celebrate them and their children. It was more like, oh my God, fuck. What does this mean for me? Am I not going to be able to, like when you told us about your other pregnancy, I was like, you bitch, you got pregnant on me pregnancy, I was like, you bitch. You got pregnant on me? Like I was like that. Selfish. I get it though.

Like because I, when I, when you hear someone is pregnant, you're like, oh my God, I'm going to lose them to their child. It's real. It's definitely relatable. I also have. But I beat that baby, didn't I? That one. It wasn't a baby. It wasn't a baby.

I feel like when friends have kids, because I was a babysitter for so long, I kind of am like not as interested because I'm like, I know that at one point that's going to be my whole life again. And previously that's like a job to me. And so I have not been that friend that like wants to hang with the kids. I have to admit. I don't know. And that might make me an asshole, but that's just my reality. I have to admit. I don't know. And that might make me an asshole, but that's just my reality. I think it's just a very, as a woman, motherhood is just the topic in general is very tense. So it's just like things happen. And it's like, I was talking to my friend Abby, because I haven't spent that much time with her kids. And they're, you know, they're like grown kids now. They're so

cute. And I was like, I really want to hang with you. She's like, yeah, I think you'd really like them. She's like, it's my fault, though, because though because I'm selfish like I want you to myself I don't want to be like mothering when I'm with you like so we always end up like she gets a babysitter and we go out like there's a lot less but I was thinking I was like we should go to the beach and stuff and hang out with the kids because I love being around kids that is true because when um I hang out with my friends who have children who have two three kids we're not talking at all. I'm just entertaining the kids, especially if we go to the beach, then it's like all activities, right? Like everyone is hands-on. Like everyone hands on deck because there's children that we need to care for like collectively.

Yeah. Or you're the friend who's not hands on deck, which I've been the auntie. Like I remember my brother getting so mad at me because they had all their babies like in the pool. Everyone was like playing with the babies and stuff. And I was sunbathing in like a bikini. He was like, Annie. I was like, all right, you're right. You're right. But it is, it becomes all about the kids. And that can be hard when you're, that's not the place in your life that you're at. Exactly. It's hard for me to reconnect. One of my best, best friends, he's the dad of three. And even though it's like, we should be making time for each other. And we do, there isn't a whole lot of conversation really between us. It's just hanging with the kids. dad of three and even though it's like we should be making time for each other and we do there

isn't a whole lot of conversation really between us it's just hanging with the kids i know people like a lot of people like i won't post too many pictures of my kid on here but i'm like post your baby i want people to like love their kids and share their kids and you know what so okay i for a long time bless you you guy you motherf. It's going to come in stronger now. You're going to sneeze in twos and you just stole two sneezes. I was like kind of evil to my face. I like, okay. So I'm definitely not a girly who's been like motherhood. I want kids. Like I dreamed of my wedding day. Not at all. Like I always thought if I had kids, my wedding day. Not at all. Like I always thought if I had kids, 40s, maybe, who knows? Like,

and in the last few years, you know, I obviously made the decision two years ago to try to get pregnant. Then after that pregnancy loss, it wasn't like, oh, let's get going again. It was like, well, wait a minute. Is this what we want? And we had lots of conversations that were like, we'll be okay either way. And you know what really sold me? And I know this, not a lot of people will agree, but one of my girlfriends, Grace, was like, she has two kids. And I was like, I still don't, you know, I had the pregnancy loss. We don't know. And she was like, you know't you know I had the pregnancy loss we don't know and she was like you know you could just have one kid and I was like I never thought about that I always thought

zero or two you know and once she said that something clicked for me like maybe one maybe is like the chill dip your toe in it's never get too crazy. I know it'll still be really hard, but that's where I'm at right now. I'm really romanticizing. I have a counter. Okay. You want the second one. So the first one can help raise it. And then what your sister did for you. And, but you also want to be careful. I have a friend who is in her fifties and she's, her son just turned 15. And she's like, she had a kid way earlier too. And she's like, I have been driving children around for 25 years. Because you have to drive them everywhere. Yeah. Or you get them a town car. A town car?

I've never had a town car. Let's get some more ads up on this page. Bing, bing, bing, bing, bing. No, but have you ever seen like the rich kids that like pop out of like a black car and you're like, oh my God. I have only seen them in movies too. They do end up getting kidnapped. They are always kidnapped and held for ransom. The sweetest, most considerate man I ever dated was an only child. Really? I have a lot of only children. There's some positive research about only children. And I know some people get mad. They're like, that's selfish. They'll be. And I know there's challenges like when they don't have a playmate. I get that. I

know there's like downsides. And I know I also could change my mind later. But right now in this moment, I'm very committed and love the thought of a one and an only. My dad was an only child. I'm like half only child. And also the positive research is like only children tend to be more creative, more confident in their ideas. I don't know why. I'm more imaginative, whatever. Soul attention.

Yeah, it's a lot of attention. You're getting all of your needs met because it's not being this first. But it's also a lot of alone time. It is. Learning how to be alone. Alone in your room with your toys. My sister's partner for the past decade is an only child.

And he's great. He's great. Is that the lover? The lover? Who's lover? I'm just saying, did you date him first? You're like, he's the kindest only child. Oh, God.

Gross. Gross, gross, gross. Pass the baton. Yeah, but I remember him being like treating me like, I think it's because he was really close to his mom and his mom was a little older and needed a lot from him. So he was just really good about fixing things and always like caring for a woman. And so that kind of transferred over to me for a couple of years and he was really great. Did you just have an image of a child taking care of you? Yeah. Fixing things. That's just sweet. That's just sweet. Good to work, kiddo.

Yeah, I'm definitely, I want to become the advocate for one child household. I have a- You mean you're China? China. China, I'm coming for you. I'm going to be the fate. And actually, I heard they lifted that. They lifted it. And that no, heard they lifted that. They lifted it. And that no, people still don't have more than one. They don't want to be the weirdo in the neighborhood. It's like, it's funny how that like cultural, it's hard to change that. You know what I mean?

So here's the thing. Like when I used to foster single puppies, it was the hardest thing ever. And then when you would have two then they'd play with each other then they wouldn't be nipping at your ankles all day but then it's like well what's the difference between two and ten so then i would just foster a whole i would let you rectally examine me just by the way the straightness to which you throw that finger up it's a gorgeous finger it's so clean it's so precise oh it's thin she did like a cute little red rum double jointed well I might come when you're doing it but yeah no I do feel like of course

there's major benefits to having more than one like for sure everyone you know everyone loves a sibling I get it um but it does seem like the people you know who have kids like life is peaceful with one and then two it's like oh how you been i think you have to worry about getting too enmeshed with them too though if you just have one oh i'm not worried about that best friend that's where i'm that's my goal in fact let's keep space uh i'm called mother and that's all. We need to have Trisha on obviously again. But I saw her like she was talking to some girl on the podcast about how the girl like sleep trained her baby from day one. And she's like, where does your baby sleep? And Trisha's like, oh, she sleeps in bed with us.

And I was like, yes, Trisha. Like I think she's my motherhood goal. However you do it is the correct way right like there's so many people with so many opinions and so just snarky and disgusting on the internet about like the proper way to be a mom it's like dude like i grew up in the philippines co-sleeping is a real thing and there are benefits to co-sleeping that i think that maybe you know people here are not like you know whatever it is whatever it is however you do it keep the baby alive it's all good i think you just don't want your baby like getting its period in your bed you know what whatever it is. Whatever it is, however you do it, keep the baby alive. It's all good. I think you just don't want your baby, like, getting its period in your bed.

You know what I mean? I think, like, just when they need some privacy, they'll let you know. They'll be like, oops, I should have put a maxi pad on. Yeah, I love that you say that, and I feel the same way. It's like, come judge me. Like, you can't penetrate my, like, fortress of not giving a fuck what other people think. Yeah. Also, it's so like elitist, right?

And it's because it's like not everyone can have a separate bedroom for the baby or have a separate crib. It's like there are families that sleep in one room. Whoa, whoa. We have one crib for the parent and the kid. Adult crib, baby crib. You know what I mean? So it's like, dude, sometimes co-sleeping is the only way.

But also if you intuitively feel like that is what's good for your family, then you should intuitively do that. Yes. I also do want to come forward and be very clear that I'm halfway through this pregnancy and I have not bought a single baby item. I've not done a lick of research. I have no nursery. Like I am really just hoping that at the 11th hour that inspiration will come. But I'm like,

I think I'm in denial. I think my guess is that you went through a very traumatizing miscarriage that was really important that you disassociated from it to survive. I'm guessing. I think that like anytime you have pregnancy loss, it doesn't ever leave you. And so every doctor's appointment, I literally go in like shaking. I'm so nervous that it's going to be that bad news. And then when I leave and it goes well, I'm like, oh, my God, Dave, she's still there. I'm like, can you believe it? He's like, yeah.

Like for some reason it didn't stick on him the way it stuck on me. And I think this is a common thing like pregnancy after loss you're just yeah that never leaves you you're almost like afraid to celebrate anything yes but i think now i'm 20 weeks and i'm like okay like whatever's gonna happen is gonna happen and i should probably get a little bit ready well i mean i have friends and also it's totally okay to not feel completely connected to your pregnancy i i have friends who didn't even feel connected to their baby when their baby was born like it took a minute to kick in and that happens and that's also okay like however it you know happens for you if you start to feel like oh crap i gotta start nesting you know whenever that hits you is whenever it'll hit you.

But I don't think, you know what I mean? Like as long as you're not going to throw your baby in a dumpster, I think it's okay. I think there's no timeline. Thank you for saying that. I mean, I was thinking about the dumpster. No, I'm just kidding. Thank you for believing in me to not throw my baby in a dumpster. I did hit that second trimester and that's like when you're supposed to get

all this magical energy to like make a nursery. And that's like when me and Dave went to Vegas. Baby moon until the last second if you want. Who cares? Do whatever you want. It's like, it's fine. Dave will do it. Just make Dave do it.

But also I was thinking maybe we do like a vlog and we help you put together a nursery. I will take anything that you offer. I have a friend who makes all – I think I told you about him. Oh, yeah. My friend Johnny. Yeah. He does all of the like baby furniture and stuff.

Let's get it going. Yeah. Guys, any recommendations, anything? I'm starting from scratch. Esther, even the way that you did this announcement was crazy. Why? Like we had a whole show planned and you're just like, I'm going to. Cavalierly like coming in.

It's now or never, I think. I couldn't not. I woke up. I looked at the stomach and was like. It's not a burrito. She kept going, I've eaten a lot. I'm like, you have a bump. It's so cute.

Thank you. You have been very supportive of believing that it's a bump. That is so funny because last week after we recorded you came out of the bathroom and annie was like exactly what you said you're like oh my god you have a bump and you're like no i ate too much we're like you have a baby inside you there is that phase though and i'm still in it where it's you don't pop yet and you just look like a pillow i keep saying she she's my weight now you're my regular weight we can show clothes we'll shorten the legs and you can wear around my waist but i do not want to be like moving into mommy mode 24 7 like i really look anything can happen

but i i want to still be me. You will be. My friend Meg has four young kids all under the age of like nine, four. Eight? Just four young kids. She's like my number one. We go to concerts together. Anytime I'm like, hey, you want to do this?

She's like, I'm down. She's the most fun. She completely does not buy into the, oh gotta stay home and bmr she's like fuck that i'm enjoying my life i know that you are not into this idea but i would just be like build an addition and bring the parents bring those old ass parents over and let them enjoy but not all that's actually i think that the millennial myth is we all think our parents are going to be so helpful there's so many things i I read on Reddit and people I know that are like, so my parents come by, they're not helpful. They don't do anything. Your mom does everything though. Don't forget that. She could definitely clean

some bottles. She could be doing all of the stuff that's not the actual mothering. Yeah. And your dad will be entertaining you. I don't know what. My dad's reaction was like, I'm too young to be a grandfather. I'm like, you're 80, sir. You're 80. My dad's reaction was, he was like, Esther's going to be the first mother that needs to be incubated. He's a fan of the show. He gets it.

He knows the tropes. He knows our roles. That is so funny. But I think it is like like that is the bummer of having older parents in this situation because it's like it would be awesome to just have some young ass parents whip in and just raise our children for us the other thing that I've thought about a lot is I'm like damn I have to I wish and I don't really wish this but I think to myself I wish I had gotten pregnant at 18. And I'll tell you why.

Because at 18, you're young and you're stupid and you're so used to new experiences in life. Like life throws you all these crazy things and you just, you're, you just assume that's how it's supposed to be. But at 35, like I know what life is. I know what I can eat. I know what I can't. I know how I'm comfortable, how I'm not. So to get thrown all these new changes, like I'm resisting. Also when you're 18, you'll definitely go clubbing when you have a kid. You're like, mom, take this baby. Can I retire as your on-call nurse and give you the number of two of my best friends who are pediatric nurses? Yes. Okay. Finally, she's out. Are they available to move in? Do they live in? Yes, possibly. We need she's out. Are they available to move in? Do they live in?

Yes, possibly. We need to get a night nurse for the baby and a day nurse for you. I know. Just to make sure you have your electrolytes. Dude, also the worst part of the first trimester was like a feeling I'll never forget is being so thirsty, but water, having an aversion to water where like I couldn't drink water it would make me throw up it was so disgusting but I was thirsty I've never seen a more disgusting weeping I don't like water at the same time oh like a mat can you imagine being thirsty and you can't drink and it's right there it was it was just can you imagine watching a person just leak

like goo from their mouth I was like ew is that the mucus cork that's how you know I'm so comfortable with you guys I would just lay there like I know I'm like do you want to adjust your chin a little bit like do you want to like look a little cute for us it's disrespectful to a point I know you and Whitney what about your nurse like whatever you and Whitney always say that to me. You're like, oh, God. I'm like, Jesus. She's always like in the corner. I'm like, why are Whitney's tits perkier than your face?

Come on. Pick it up. Whitney looks so pretty pregnant. I know. It's actually the most annoying thing I've ever seen. But we all knew this. We all saw this coming. I'm excited for yours to like really round out this belly.

The other thing also, I was FaceTiming with Whitney the other day and she's, you know, like eight and a half months pregnant. She's like, oh, I just, you know, started the lower back pain. I'm like, I've had that for two months already. Like I had it before I was pregnant. That's how I got pregnant. I was laying down on my back. Is the baby going to have a CPAP?

Oh my God. That would actually be so cute. A tiny baby CPAP. That would be cute was it something you guys planned or I don't know if I'm allowed to ask this yeah you can ask we I you know like I said after the miscarriage because I had a type of miscarriage where I couldn't try for six months and then after that six months I was like I lost the taste for wanting to do that again because it was so hard. And so I think like a year and a half I was like, or two years, whatever, I was just like,

I think I want to, but I don't want to. It's so hard and it sucks. And I like getting high and, you know, I was getting in shape. And then at the beginning of this year, I was just slowly warming up to it and then in the spring I was like let's kind of try a little bit and it really for me wasn't until it's those ovulation that those strips literally like I cannot physically get pregnant without those I thought I was like oh I know I no I don't know my cycle at all I get the ones with the they give you a little smiley face when you pee on them that got both times I got pregnant in a second they should give you like

ones for whether you're trying to get pregnant or not it should be a frowny face or a smiley face yeah it's like pink or blue Bobby is not allowing me to get pregnant yet what yeah no in my dream I was like this is gonna be a wild tiger belly no he's like he's like he's like straight up like I'm not there yet I can't handle you being in a serious relationship and please don't get pregnant no sorry Bobby sorry Bobby you know what also there's been some things that you've told me about your guys's post relationship relationship that I was like that's fine you're such a good and then I tell Dave and he's like boundaries are being crossed and boundaries and so this i'm red flagging that you need and i also get pregnant oh god yes

annie come on just give me like a year or two please annie when i get pregnant you'll be the first phone call and i'm like get to work it's like to work we're doing this okay and i was i don't know if i said this before i really had this like vision of like because i'm so afraid of sex and I'm like, why do I have so- That's such a funny sentence. But it is because I am, I'm like, I always have so much anxiety and it's because I'm so fucking fertile. I'm like such a mom. You really are though. I'm like so like, oh God. It knocked up at any moment. Like we have like, we're having a baby sex every time I fuck him. It's like, I know, I'm like, Todd, stop. But pulling out works. I know.

And it has worked, but it's still scary. You know what? Thank you for saying that. Pulling out works. I promise. I know we're supposed to be teaching young girls things or maybe not, but like, I'm sorry, but it fucking works. It has worked for me my whole life.

I have never gotten pregnant. I've only done pull out, obviously safely with safe partners, but like, and I think maybe it does, the partner needs to be good at it. But if you're, if you two. I know, I don't want to be like rude. I do not trust Todd. I do not trust him. He is young. He's young. I do not trust his pullout game. It's worked so far, but. I mean, maybe you're right. Maybe some people's pull out game. I just haven't been with anyone whose pull out game is weak. It's always a guy who's like very, he pulls out and then he still has to jerk himself off for like 20 seconds before he comes.

Yeah. Right? That's, I am not supposed to give too much information about my sex life, but I'll just nod my head. Yeah. There's good pull out game out there. Very considerate pull out game. Yeah.

And when you're like, wait, did you get out before that first burst oh you're like is that you or me down there whose wet spot is this you fuck no that and that is that fear is so i told you i basically only fucking my period because i'm like i don't trust you it's so funny that it's all like go to a teacher go to i need you to go to school it's so funny because i don't trust you. It's so funny that it's all that you just don't trust him. Go to a teacher. Go to, I need you to go to school. It's so funny because I don't trust myself. It's myself I don't trust. No, you have a fetish though.

Yeah, I do. I don't have that fetish. I'm like, do not. I'm like, I want you to be able to get to the tip of my head. Cute outfit.

Look at this bod. Oh my God, our sexy social media. Bitch. I don't want to waste all of this Thanksgiving decor what do we have

going on here so selfish you stole Thanksgiving my child with your turkey my body oh it looks so cute I took hot pics of her

thank you can we do a shoot where we do like a mold of your stomach and we're somehow involved what do you mean a mold that's so gross you know how people

do like molds of their belly? That's repulsive. But it's like our hands on it and not Dave's. I like that. Wait, do people still do belly molds? Yeah. Why? What's the purpose of it?

I think so they can have a weird, they can fill it in with plaster and have like a weird their own stomach with their husband's hands on it. That is the scariest thing. If I saw that in your house, I'd run out. I want a mold to motivate crowning. I'm putting it over my door. Nothing is worse for me than when my mouth doesn't feel clean. It's also worse for me.

It's really bad for everyone. I said very close to her. Quip, the toothbrush, the water flosser have changed my mouth forever. And I love how chic the toothbrush actually is. I love showing it off. It's so cute. Do you have to show people? Look, I brushed.

Yeah. So, okay, this is also our Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving. By the way, also because I've been suffering. All I want to do is complain. I've been suffering so much in this pregnancy. This year, the holidays are life or death for me. Like, I'm clinging to them.

They are so important to me. I am celebrating. I'm tis the season. I'm listening to Christmas music already. Like, I need. Did you dress up for Halloween? No. I blew it. I'm tis the season. I'm listening to Christmas music already. Like I need. Did you dress up for Halloween? No. I blew it.

Did I? But also it just means you're Filipino. We start Christmas in July. So you're officially adopted. I interrupted you. So what are you doing? You're listening to Christmas carols? I'm just, I'm celebrating.

I'm fucking celebrating Christmas. Christmas is going to get awesome when you have a baby. Yeah. It's so cute. Last year, by the way, Christmas holidays was really rough for you. I know.

And you were in a deep, deep pit of depression. And I did nothing for Christmas. I literally had not, I didn't listen to a single song. I didn't see my family. Like, this year. You were trying to just

bypass the holidays. I really was. And so that's why I think this year, I'm like, I need it. And I'm not judging. You know, sometimes I get in these little bitchy moods where I'm like, that's stupid. Like, it's not for me. like, I need it. And I'm not judging. You know, sometimes I get in these little bitchy moods where I'm like, that's stupid.

Like, it's not for me. I don't need it. But this year, I fucking need it. I mean, are you guys— Tell us what you need from us. Do you need 12 days of Christmas? I'll give you a holiday cheer. Do you need a menorah?

This is great. Speaking of giving back, I am so glad I gave back your shirt. Okay, it was like—it was weighing on me so much. And it was like the universe was like not letting me give it back your shirt. Okay. It was like, it was weighing on me so much and it was like, the universe was like not letting me give it back to you. It was like, I would have it folded, washed,

ready to go, leave, 10 minutes out, can't go back. I'm already fucking late. Can't go back and get it. So this is what I'm saying. So I could never find one.

The minute I give it back to you, I went to Nordstrom's. This is a, it's one from, no, it's from Urban Outfitters. Oh, yeah,

yeah, yeah. But they sell it there and it's, but it's so nice. It's BDG. Those are the oversized ones. And it's my favorite.

And I couldn't find one. Can I tell you where to find it? All of the ones that I bought, the oversized ones, are all from Poshmark or secondhand. I've been buying some good stuff from Poshmark. I don't, this one's a Brandy Melville one. I kind of hate it. We didn't ask. Okay, let's talk about this.

When is- We didn't care. This is very important. And I need your answers. Okay, sorry. talk about this. We didn't care. This is very important, and I need your answers. Okay, sorry. This is holidays. When is the correct time to start Thanksgiving? After Halloween. Time-wise?

Or it can go with Halloween. What time are you eating, right? Okay. Okay, well, I have my answer. You want to have it before the day of because the grocery store is wild on thanksgiving of last this is not answering the question at all no i'm i'm getting to it so thanksgiving eve thanksgiving eve you want to have things cooking starting you want to smell like thanksgiving what time are we sitting down to eat three to five for me and my family it's just always dinner

yeah thanksgiving dinner it's three to four. You can do an early one. And then that way, because of all of the freaking L-tryptophan from the turkey, you're going to sleep a real, like a- Exactly. And you're playing Monopoly? But I graze for the whole week after. Oh, yeah. My Thanksgiving is so sick coming up.

I'm so fucking excited. What are you guys doing? I'm having a weird Thanksgiving. I know I just sold a- Wait, Mrs. We're just celebrating everything. Well, we're... So we're going to New York for the week of Thanksgiving.

And we're... I am so terrified of holiday travel that we're going to fly back to LA on Thanksgiving. But we're doing like a little brunch, a little mommy and daddy brunch at a really nice place in New York. So we'll do like a full. But it's going to be early. It's going to be at noon, which is not ideal. You're doing a very weird thing for a girl that's part of the holiday season is holiday travel.

It sucks so bad. You're supposed to leave Kevin behind. Remember? Right. Home alone. You're supposed to. Esther, weren't you in that movie? The sequel. The sequel. You're supposed to. Esther, weren't you in that movie? The sequel.

The sequel. You weren't Kevin? What was Kevin? I was his body double. No, I don't know. Holiday travel is a disaster. Home Alone 3 or something. It's crazy.

You have to surrender. Holidays are about surrender. Yeah, but you guys are seasoned travelers. It's for the non-season travelers where it's really a nightmare. But the airport is a nightmare. Not only are we flying coach, we are flying so far back in the plane that the woman apologized. She was like, I am so sorry. I was like, it's fine.

It's fine. Wait, where are you going? We're going to Jersey. Okay, so this is going to be a lot of family math. Todd's older brother's wife, her parents live, they bought a condo at the beach in Brighamton Beach, I think it's called. And so they have a condo and then they rent this big ass house across the street and it's got like an elevator and they invite.

So it's Todd's siblings are coming. His one brother and his wife, the hot one. Hey, Lexi. What's up, Lexia? I love family crushes. Hey, hottie. No, there's so many Lesbo vibes in this family hang. She always cuts it out when I say this to her and sends it to me. I'm like, what's up, girls? She's so hot. But anyway, so they're going to go to her family, but they're going to come for like the days, for the day before but um so it's gonna

be Todd's parents um Kate's parents Wayne and Kate her his older brother Kate's brother and sister who are awesome and then her sister's like really into true crime so she like fills you in on every like murder that's going on she does like sleuth stuff like she's always like so she's fun to have around for that is like amazing she fills you you in on everything. And then her brother is like this photographer. I have a bunch of his work at my house. And he's like also a truck driver and he kind of wears like girly outfits to piss his Republican dad off. And it's like so fun. The vibes are so high. And then they invite my parents. So then my parents come and we play like Monopoly. We get screaming matches. Like things go crazy. We're going to have football game on the beach.

His mom got us all these crab legs. So she's cooking us seafood the day before. And Todd's mom, I've said this a million times, is my favorite restaurant. She is so good. But Kate's mom's also a great chef. Kate's a great chef. So it's just like so much good food. So many cool people. Last year, Ryan brought his girlfriend who was – she was like so hot and so fun and so kooky. So I hope – hopefully he gets a girlfriend in the next week and can bring her. But it's just like fun. Oh, they've since broken up is what you're saying. They broke up.

It's like bring us Monica for one more week. I know. But it's just really fun. And my – everyone just gets along and it's just so fun. I feel like that's how – that sounds like a really fun Thanksgiving. Any type of like multifamily thing is like, it just feels like a party. Oh my God, look at the little slug.

You guys are the best. Can I just, I need to do another producer. I know I'm pregnant. Another producer appreciation. This is so, every little detail. I cried about them in Ayahuasca. I was like, they're so good. We love our new producers so much.

We really do. It's unbelievable. It's really unbelievable. Thank you guys for saying that. This happening on the day Julian's not here too. I know. Yes, and to not have Julian around is so exciting. We don't like those kinds, if you know what I mean. Thanksgiving. My Thanksgiving is nothing like that

at all. I didn't grow up with Thanksgiving. I have no warm feelings towards Thanksgiving. I grew up with it and also don't have warm feelings. Okay, so it's not a... Well, and then it's really just my stepdad, Roger. It means a lot to him. He has to cook the turkey. And then it's basically him yelling at everyone

to sit at the table exactly when he needs everyone sat at the table. And then he's always like kind of half angry because he's like dealing with a bird. And then we sit there and then we eat. And then I usually pass out on the couch and then that's it. And I really prefer it that way because I just don't have feelings about Thanksgiving. But I love Thanksgiving because it's a marker. The next day I go get my tree and then it's filipino super bowl right it's christmas christmas is it for me it's it for my family we go hard yeah i mean that is yeah it's it's

there's nothing better and truthfully americans should start celebrating earlier the trees are up in the philippines in july like if you go to a mall in the ph the Philippines in July, it's full-blown Christmas. The Christmas songs, everything. I think that Thanksgiving, let's be real, is the kickoff to Christmas. Yeah. You can start listening. I mean, I think day of Thanksgiving, you can 100% be playing Christmas music. Well, some people though observe Christmas starting the day after Halloween, which I'm kind of doing that this year. Love it. But it really gets into high gear. Observe was like a big girl word. Observe.

That was good. Like I'm already working on my Christmas playlists. I'm jamming out. They are really lift. They lift the mood. I think so. Especially come. I think you should start it before daylight savings time.

So like in the Philippines, they call it the Burr months, B-E-R. So once September hits, then it's like one notch up. It's like, ooh, the Burr months are here. Then it's like more trees, more lights, more pearls out. Pearl is not pearl, but it's like a little like decoration thing. But I think that's how it should be because come daylight savings, it's so fucking depressing. The sun goes down at 4 o'clock. But I think if you think about it like Christmas-y, it's not depressing.

That's right. If you have the lights up already. Because it is crazy how dark it gets. It's like it really throws your heart. I've been going to bed at like 9 p.m. Really? I have been passing out. That's how it should be.

Your body goes up and down with the sun. My ring is finally winning. This aura ring I got. Do you guys have these? What is it? Maybe I should get you guys these for Christmas if you want them. It measures your sleep and your period and a bunch of stuff. I think they're really cute. They're cool. Yeah. Maybe that'll be Christmas present. So in the morning, I check it and it tells you if you got enough REM or deep sleep. It might be stressful. Sometimes it's stressful. But at 9 p.m., it always texts

me and it goes, you're winding down for sleep. And'm like no bitch I'm not winding down for sleep I'm getting ready for work you don't know me but I'm like maybe it knows me but it tells you if you've like done your like work it measures how much you should work out do we have the poll results for when people so we have a couple poll results a couple Instagram updates Kalilah question Kendall Roy hot or not to you because you weren't there that episode. You know I like weird uggos. But you thought so hard about it.

You're right. It's not a bad answer. On aesthetics alone, it's a negative for me. But because I, you know, watched the first season of the show, I get it. No, but his, it's, I'm going to go with no. Okay. Sorry, Esther.

I made you do that. Honestly, I was really like. Yeah, while you threw it at us. It was the sneeze. I stole the sneeze and I forced to no. It's how sad he is that gets me going. I am so over super sad boys. I want nothing to do with it.

I cannot have it. Not super sad. Not like, you know, that you don't. I can't do pessimism either anymore. I need you. I can't have this. I need your energy. I need you.

I need you to help me with this. If you say need to me, I am no longer available. No, no, no. It's not that. You want them to be sad, a level of sad where they don't know they're sad. Like, you know they're sad, but they don't know. But have you dated the guy that goes like, I had the guy that was like, I just think you're going to be the one that like motivates me. I'm

like, whoa, psycho. I am like, I'm flying high vibes and everybody either has to be here or on their way up here. I am no longer, I realized my entire life has been me like trying to tell weak men they're strong. I'm like, no, you little guy, you're doing great. You're so stronger than all these ones. You know, it's like, it's like, you are good at that though. But you're also like enabling people to not be their best self. It's like, rise the fuck up. And I'm not just saying men, but it's like, it's just, I noticed so much now, like when people are just like only think of the most negative thing only like, and they want you to be with them. And it's like, I'm not available for for complaints I can't do it anymore unless it's

Esther complaining about her pregnancy I that feels high vibe that does feel high vibe how often do we talk now it's a lot I'm not well because anyone I already have like a predisposition to depression and mental illness right oh yes and so it's like look i know this about myself therefore like if someone matches my really depressive energy it's not like we're never leaving the house we're gonna soak at home together so i like the contrast of someone being a little bit more upbeat who wakes up in the morning wants to get after life because that's not me i don't want to get after life i want to sit in bed and dissociate so when someone is the opposite of that i feel like we're balancing each other out and honestly i could afford to teach him a thing or two about depression and i think you know i mean no i think it's like important when you have

like high energy to just keep it so that everyone can like match it rather than like you know like oh are we all sad we have more poll results yeah yeah okay so this is what instagram business bitches justice for esther and what i mean by that is like those are close numbers those are super that's very close we got 44 percent think kendall roy is hot and 56 not i'm just gonna say to say that's like 50-50. Let's round it up. I'll take that. Yeah. Okay. Next one is the name dropping one, which is pretty shocking. We need to poll if people like name dropping or not like name dropping. And let's let Annie have a little taste of being wrong. I don't like being wrong. I surrender to that. Annie, your take on name dropping?

I love it. Give me all of them. Tell me everything. I will name drop other people's name drops. Klyla, what was your take about name dropping? When Annie does it, it's hilarious. It's the best. It's the greatest gift on earth. It depends who is name dropping.

When Bobby or Annie do it, it's the best. Who gave me? Olivia Munn gave me this doggy bag, okay? That is cool. And I've never not told someone that. But if you do it in a way that's like you're trying to um hide the fact like you're trying to be cool about it like oh yeah yeah I know that guy or I know that's gross I'm always like be ready to catch a name I'm dropping are you ready

I know you know what's funny after this episode then Dave called me out because yesterday on one of my TikTok lives I did a name drop and he fully roasted me for it. But I'm like, that's different. I think when you're like trying to like woo a woman and you do it, that's gross. Okay. I was, I went on that date with that, um, that singer songwriter. Oh, that's right. And he brought up Beck and I was like, I just met Beck. And he goes, whoa, name drop. And I was like, I just met him. You just brought him up. Yeah. That's not a name drop. I'm like, what the hell are you talking? It would be crazy. It would be insane if I didn't tell him I just met him. I had met him the week before.

I was like, oh my God, I know how tall he is and shit. I'm going to say for the purposes of dating, and if I'm going out on a first date with a guy and he's name dropping, it's a no for me. And if they're your friend and you're name dropping them, it's weird. Well, I mean, Olivia. But, um.

Okay, so this is what. Wow. 53% said I do it no shame 47 never it's a turn off again 50 50 that makes so much sense for our audience to be like yeah because that's how dude i'm telling you guys i was listening to it because dave i caught dave listening to the angela white episode was he masturbating When I hear the three of us talk, I'm like, we are all so fucking different in every way. Like, of course, our audience is going to be 50-50 everything. Like, we're all so different. And then the last thing we just want Katie and I want to talk about is you guys know that you have a reel that is blowing up. The subway reel. Have I told you guys the story about in the first month of me and Dave dating?

I was at his apartment and he was going to go get a subway and took my order. And I got a footlong and he came back with a footlong for me and a six inch for himself. And I was like, you can't do that. That's not okay. It's like hot controversy now. It's so insane. And Esther's so right that it's like. But also this is one thing we fully all agreed on, which is like if a guy, like when you ordered.

I ordered a footlong. A footlong. Dave went to go pick up the subs and he came home with a six inch sandwich for himself and my footlong. And I had never in my life felt lower. I get it that that's confusing to men that's fine but and Dave was confused as well yes but I think it is okay there is like differences between genders and I think sorry it's not always not always guys um but it is like funny that we all feel this way and then men feel the other way. That's funny. I'll be like, let's get ice cream.

And Todd's like, no, no, I'm not falling for this. I go, come on, let's get ice cream. I go, I'm not doing it. I go, we're getting ice cream. He's like, all right, fine. We're getting ice cream. And then the morning I'm like, why did you let me get ice cream? He's like, I told you.

I think I need someone to go down with a ship. Yeah. Like if this ship's going down tonight, I need to get a – It's not going to be my fat ass sinking it. I don't get the like food anxiety part of it, I guess. Yeah. And I also think we're all self-aware that we're crazy. Like that's crazy. ship yeah like if this ship's going down tonight it's not gonna be my fat ass sinking it anxiety part of it i guess yeah and i also think we're all self-aware that we're crazy like that's crazy it's an insane request but it's so it's so real and i do have to give dave credit that like if if literally just someone in the breeze mentions taco bell he's like let's go that's great let's go he's always down and that is the subway is a misrepresentation of who he truly is.

But it was shocking and uncomfortable. Todd always, whenever we drive by Taco Bell, he's like, what's that place? Taco, what is it called? What? He always acts like he's never, he's like, we should try this new restaurant out. That's actually so cute. You hungry? I can say baby voice in front of my dog

he's so cute i do think when you accidentally say baby voice in public there's nothing more humiliating but we did name one of our um geckos goal so it's like girl and baby voice wait a second um isn't there a thing that says like if you do baby voice in public that that is a sign of mental illness? No. Like safety? Trauma. Oh. Adults with baby voice is a sign of like, you know, complex PTSD.

Listen, I got a lot of little reptiles and creatures in my house. A lot of baby voices being thrown around. But in public, it's so embarrassing. Esther, do you do not, you and Dave don't do baby voice? Are you too short to do baby voice? We do like, we have public, it's so embarrassing. Esther, do you do not, you and Dave don't do baby voice? Are you too short to do baby voice? We do like, we have our, we have our words. We have a lot of like words. But the voice.

I need to know you do baby voice. To donut for sure. Yeah. Oh, thank you. Served by pretty women. This is so amazing. Randy. We are so lucky.

We are grateful. Look, Randy's like, oh, my food. Oh, my God. I love my dog so much. Him being sick has been absolute hell. He was peeing blood. No, it was a UTI. I know.

But then all the meds are hurting him. Okay, shut up and eat. Although people hate when we eat, but whatever. Guys, she's pregnant. We all have to eat. I'm wondering if we can have a cheesy moment where you guys go around and say something nice about each other. I'm going to steal Annie's and say that I'm so grateful. Oh, well, let's just – we are grateful for the new producer.

No, no, no. No, it's about you guys. You guys. Stella's like, can you give me a compliment? No, I want – it's about you guys. So, like, what are you grateful with each other? grateful for Annie's insane next level sense of humor because she will make any topic funny and weird and silly and not serious at all and so I'm so grateful to have 24 hour access to that whenever I need it and I'm grateful obviously that Kalilah is a nurse on call as well.

Just that the three of us are so different. Literally, we could not be different. Our voices, our personalities, how we grew up, what we believe in, what we like, what we dislike. We are all so different. But I love that we share this commonality of like there's no shame there's no embarrassment and that's like we're just gross and we don't care and I'm grateful for that. Top that bitches. No one's trying. Esther my girl I love my little munchkin. She's so little and so cute. I think we have just known each other a really long time and I really appreciate how much we've kind of gone through

together and we kind of like grew up. The phases. Living in your car. Weird. Remember the little renter rack I used to have? And I think. You met me when I was sharing a studio apartment yes I was living in my car and you were living in something the size of a car with another person I was there for the Dave the the Dave daving down I also what I really love about you is when fucked up shit happens we really do are there for each other when when we've had some losses and stuff like that it's been like are there for each other when when we've had some losses and stuff like that it's been like immediate there for each other safety and I love you you put up with my nonsense I know you hate when I'm late and it's so cute you're still my friend and um yeah I'm proud of you I think you're doing so many really awesome things completely aside from growing a human you have a movie

coming out you have your set is so funny right now. Everything's like really coming together. This is too much. Thank you. Okay, never mind. You're a fucking bitch. Not me, Annie. I am.

That was so good. Listen, you are the shoulders of this operation. Without you, we could not stand. Thank you. No, Kalilah, you shine. You're like, I'm this depressed. No, you're like i'm this depressed no you're like i'm i was looking at it when i said that i'm like this depressed thing but you know you're a badass you're a creative special beautiful wonderful girl you're so dedicated you're so like loving to people you are always there no matter even if we're like where we're at in our friendship you are always

there you never don't pick up um and I know that I can ask you what's up she's a caregiver yeah I can ask you any question you always have an answer oh that's so and I love like I love how you are with your family you're so like you're sweet I love how you are with your dogs you're just really like dedicated and sweet and smart and you have you have all of the things in the world going for you. And like, I like this new boy, but don't get pregnant right now. I'm going to wait for you. You know what? I'm going to wait for you. It's too late. You're too far ahead. Annie, I'll wait for the cream pie. Let's just cream pie. We'll be like one, two, three, go. Yeah. Kegel. Deal. Deal. You have to kegel to keep it in.

No, but I'm just saying if I want to have a baby, I'm going to kegel that shit in. I want my baby to know I fought for it. You fought for every last drop. Esther, over 10 years now, I've known you. And it's just been such a sweet little thing to see you go through your different phases. The first time I met you, the first thing you said was, do you want to see my tits? I said yes.

I do have the same origin story with everyone you fucking Only you two. And then you're just a silent very, a silent killer. Like you just never really know. You're like a fart. You're just this tiny little force of nature. I feel like sick around you.

I want to throw up. I'm super grateful that when shit hits the fan, like what Annie said, like you're a vault. You have a lot of really good advice and you're very firm. And when you get shit done when you get shit done you get shit done and i like that you are my idol in um asserting boundaries you're someone that i look up to as a people pleaser you're someone i look up to when i need to really you know put my foot down on something like what would esther do i'm super thankful for that. And just overall our friendship and knowing that you're just a phone call away. And Annie, you are my idol when I look for freedom. Like when I think of someone who is just so free,

so just unafraid, so just fuck you to everybody. When I need moments of like to channel that energy, I always think, what would Annie do in this situation? I love that we've always been able to, you know what I mean? Our phone calls is a lot of very personal shit that maybe we wouldn't tell any other person. But I feel like I can tell you anything. I feel like with the both of you, there's never judgment. There's no judgment in this group. There's no shame. There's not even a flinch.

When I tell you crazy shit, there's not a flinch. There's not a, oh my God. But you let us make fun of it too. It's like, when we get up, like, uh-oh, it's going to get dark. Oh no, here she goes. Those are like my favorite moments. And I'm super grateful that one random phone call three years ago It's going to get dark. Oh, no. Here she goes. Those are like my favorite moments. And I'm super grateful that one random phone call three years ago brought us to this place where we are today.

And I'm super happy we're still here. Shitting blood. Shitting blood brought us together. One phone call. I thought it was us calling her and being like, will you do a podcast with us? Annie and I bonded over shitting blood. She wouldn't even be in the orbit if I hadn't shit blood and Bill Burr hadn't come on and talk about it. Right. calling her and being like, will you do a podcast with us? Well, Annie and I bonded over shitting blood. She wouldn't even be in the orbit if I hadn't shit blood

and Bill Burr hadn't come on and talk about his blood. Right. And Annie's like, oh, you shit blood too? I was like, yeah, baby. I was like, you have to call Kalilah. She shits blood. Before health insurance, we needed Kalilah. Do you remember how bad we needed Kalilah?

Not that we don't need her now, but... Well, this is the middle of the pandemic, too. It was a bad time to shit blood. But I'm really proud of us that we don't need her now, but. Well, this is the middle of the pandemic, too. Oh, I have no other choice. It was a bad time to shit blood. But I'm really proud of us that we fucking crushed the show. Fuck yeah. I am, too. And it's,

this has been like, what, three years? Isn't that crazy? And we've, I'm sorry, this show is a success. This show rules. Sorry, guys.

It rules, you guys. It's so good. Look at our studio. By the way, who came in and was freaking out? Every person, by the way. But Jordan Jensen was like, oh my God, you guys. It's so good. Look at our studio. By the way, who came in was freaking out. Every person, by the way. But Jordan Jensen was like, oh my God, this studio. I'm like, yes, this fucking studio.

That's right. And thank you to our producers. This is the prettiest set. It's so gorgeous. You guys just absolutely crush it day to day. You leave no stone unturned. As Annie said, I always feel held in mind. It is a different energy. And it's honestly, it's it's their feelings of like, do I deserve this? It's great.

I deserve this level of attention. Like, is this OK? I know every day I'm every coming here. I'm like, can we afford this? Are we allowed to do this? Why are they feeding us all the time? And like just, yeah, just the smallest gestures that you guys do are like huge. And the big gestures are even bigger. I don't know. I don't want to get into it too much and be, you know, I'm going to keep my mouth shut. Unless Annie wants to talk. No, we don't need to talk about the past.

We move forward. I just also want to say, like, like i appreciate i know that slugs have it's tough with the change and it was like one version and now like suddenly we appeared but um you know everybody on the team like loves this podcast really believes in it is working very hard for it but I also just like I'm so grateful that you guys entrust us and are letting us help you yeah you're all cool too by the way everyone's cool that works like everyone's awesome everyone's cool well-dressed good looking I'm even talking about you guys it's just fun like I'm always here like late just hanging out with you guys that's the it's so fun Randy this Can I get him chicken? Oh, yeah. I sucked out all of the spices first so he wouldn't have that. Oh, I didn't even do that.

There's no spices. I mean, no, the breading and stuff. She's going to mama bird your baby for you. Yeah, I don't want to give him the oily stuff. You are going to be such a good mom, though. Our kids are going to be crazy, though, all of our kids. Dude, we're going to fuck our kids up and that's okay. Our kids are going to be insane.

Come on, let's be real. No, that's what they say. They're going to be different like us. However you fix what was wrong with your upbringing will mess them up in a different way. You're going to fuck our kids up and that's okay. Our kids are going to be insane. Come on, let's be real. No, that's what they say. They're going to be different like us. However you fix what was wrong with your upbringing will mess them up in a different way. You're going to overshoot. Yeah, my mom was like, her mom was too strict and then she was like, what are rules? Walk in the middle of the night anywhere you want. And can we say who we are the most grateful for?

Britney Spears' memoir? No. I know. Bernie Sanders. bernie spurs memoir no i know our sanders our viewers our listeners we would never be anywhere near where we are without you we cannot do it without you when annie and i meet you guys at our shows and we all met you guys at the live show like we are so grateful that we have found you.

It's always awesome people.
