This is what I found. I've looked at it. And why do you think that is? Because no kids, you have freedom. Yes. Two kids, you have balance. And it's what you can... At three kids, we're like at capacity. It's chaos in my house. But imagine a woman shows up for a job interview. I'm just talking about a woman that maybe doesn't have as much privilege. And she's like, I have three kids.
The person on the other side is like, this bitch is going to have another baby soon. I don't know if I can give her the job interview. I mean, that's how I would feel. That's how I would feel. But I'm saying that's a very raw... No, no, no.
When I told them, I walked in, obviously I was like, they were like, because my belly was showing at that point. I was past 12 weeks. And then Derek, shout out to Derek, who works with Trevor. He was just sitting there answering ads. They're doing the sums. Yeah, everyone has to do the math. And they were like, congratulations. Oh yeah, we can make the podcast. What do you do? It was so funny.
It was just a relief. And then they were like, okay, whatever. But it has a real impact.
You're not worried about Josh getting pregnant.
And I had a high-risk pregnancy.
i'll never ever be like but the podcast and you know this from me i'm the person who's like yeah cancel and by the way like so i feel very fortunate that i do this the work i do and where i am in my career that i have like partners like you guys were like okay how can we make this work right that was like okay what are your dates what do you want to take time off when are your appointments you know they're the queen the kings and queens of
You seem tired. Go sleep or whatever. But most women don't work in environments that are like that. It's like, you know, you're getting fired. You're getting demoted. You're taking time off. You're coming back at a lower level. You're already like postpartum. It's the worst thing you can do for your career, having a baby. That's the truth. But no one says that.
It's bad for the dads, too, by the way, because a dad is like, I want to spend more time with my kids.
It's just bad.
A good dad.
A good dad.
Okay. For someone who wants to be an active and present father, in the current capitalist framework we have, where your work is on your phone, your email, you can't escape it. It's very tough. After work, drinks, socializing. Now they're like, return to the office. They don't want us to work from home, right? So you're away from your family all day.
If you're a man that wants to see your kids and be present, it's bad for you as well. But I think with, and it's an argument, a conversation me and Lewis have a lot, The woman, you take on the actual physical brunt of the pregnancy. The emotional, physical labor, the hormones. It's feeling like you're being invaded. I find pregnancy very disembodying. I'm not one of these women.
I had the most beautiful time in my life. I was close. I feel like shit. Like, I don't enjoy it. And I've had really... I've had rough pregnancies. I've had... My last birth was my favourite birth. I felt really powerful. I knew what I wanted. Like, I felt very confident. That's amazing. Yeah, and it was just, like, I'd done it a lot of times before to be, like, listened to and postpartum was...
I couldn't even really dwell on it because I have two other children. But for a lot of women, it's this earthquake and you're constantly feeling aftershocks. And whatever decision you make, whether you decide to stay at home with your children or also work as well, you don't have the support for the most part.
I find my friends that are stay-at-home mums, they live really isolating existences and they do work that's not respected financially.
You've seen it up close multiple times now.
I call it witching hour.
Yeah.
