New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
So I said, anything sounds good. So he says, let's go to. So we went and, and, and what happened was I, I decided in that moment I could list things that didn't sound good, or I could just say, you know what? Fine. I did say anything sounds good. Let's go to the restaurant you suggested. And it was almost inedible.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next

Let's move on. Let's move on. I would love to. I also don't want to talk bad about a restaurant because we want businesses to thrive.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
We could bleep the name of the restaurant. That's an option. I would love that. I would love that. Oh, that makes me way happier. We'll do a bleep of the restaurant name because it's not fair to them. It's just more the sentiment of the restaurant. Okay, so.

New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Okay, question number one. Both of you always gave off the energy that you've been together for years now. I'm genuinely surprised that it's new for both of you. How did you navigate such a huge decision of buying a house together so early? I want to break this down into two parts. You guys give off the energy that you've been together for years now.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Take it away.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Do you want to talk about that?

New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
In the interest of full disclosure?
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Well, okay, so we just have different communication styles where whenever I woke up this morning, I needed a little bit of space. And Harrison was giving me a hug. And it actually meant the world to me that he wanted to give me the hug. I love, I like felt so, I was like, oh, that's really nice. But also I needed not a lot of questions. It's a bit like confusing to explain.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Because they're different types like the bean. It's the same thing as hot coffee. It's a different kind of bean.

Little Lunch. That's it. I'm so glad you got that name. I was just trying to be crazy. One of my favorites. Is Venice, California named after Venice, Italy? Is it Italy?
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
And so basically the communication styles are this. I need space. Harrison likes to ask questions to solve the problem. But my brain lights on fire. And so his questions are kerosene on the fire. And then my brain's on fire and I can't function. And I need a bit more space. And so that we were having a missive communication. Would you agree with that?
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Answer me this. Did you move from the treadmills to the floor because I was on the treads?
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Okay, because it appeared that you did.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
That's what I'm saying. They're very similar. I mean, well, they're not similar, but they're a bit of an abbreviation of each other.

New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
But you asked me to do Barry's with you.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next

They're insanely cool, but I don't think a lot of, like people think Abbot Kinney when they think Venice, California. They don't think the canal streets.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
And the way we communicate is the way we communicate. Or are we going to say, no, let's meet in the middle here and learn to communicate together, getting off your line?
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Yes. And I also think, and I saw some people asking this about like, for me, I always have said online when I, it was a, if you know, when you know, you know, and a lot of them were asking, did you feel that too?
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Do you know what I'm saying? I know exactly what you're saying. And like, so we moved, right? We got pregnant fast. And so there was a lot of... Yeah, there was a lot we went through.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
And many other things. But the thing about it is... I think we've also worked at our relationship, right?
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
We've done a lot of like, because it was an expedited path, we said, okay, we can either, we really stop and we figure out each other's communication styles. And I think that one thing that I, the reason I'm able to be so proud of our relationship is because of the hard work we've put into it.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Which is like, we'll have our fights, but then we'll, then we've stopped and we've said, okay, how do we handle this differently? How do you get off your side, your line? And how do I get off my line? And how do we meet in the middle and make this a good environment? How do we, because also when you're parenting, it's, it's a lot of negative and exhausting energy to like fight.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
So I think one thing that we're really good about doing and learning to do is like communicate well for ourselves, but also together as a couple.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Did you hear me just say that's dope?
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Check our egos.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Yeah, I think it's at the forefront of our mind at a time where when you have a seven month old, maybe it wouldn't be at the forefront, but our relationship is new. And so it's something that we are constantly working on. And of course we have, I don't, I don't think that the, so the perfect relationship doesn't exist, right? I don't think it exists.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
I think it would be crazy if somebody said they have the perfect relationship. I'll say this about our relationship though. I absolutely love it. Does that make sense?
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
I agree with that.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Correct. It's our version of perfect.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
It's the one that we wanted. We fought hard for. Okay.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Yeah, we'll move on right now. Okay, so the second part is, how did we navigate such a huge decision of buying a house so early? Do you know how I think that that came into play?
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Well, let me ask you this. Do you think we would be buying a house, you and I, if Bubbers didn't exist? Bubbers' tape.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Okay, elaborate on that.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
You just said, okay, that was great. You don't even know why we're laughing. You said the decision was emotional, not financial. And I said, elaborate on that. And you said the decision was driven by emotion, not finances.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
And if somebody above us is walking, sometimes you can pick up the noise. I think that you're good, though, H. I think she probably just went... Okay, he's running upstairs. Okay, so...
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Elaborate.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Okay, so for example, like the stock market, you would have rather invested the money than buy a house with it.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. So I agree because we're building a family and we're in that phase. And I think we were able to make the decision being so new as a couple because... We're in, we're in family mode and we want to build a family together. And so I, and also like, you know, we're not 23. Guys, we have $10 off Nutrafol.

And Harrison likes to rent because, okay, so let's move down to this question really quickly. Um, I remember that some weeks ago, Harrison mentioned that to buy a house, it would be more than $5,000 more a month than to rent it. Is that still the case? That seems so high to me.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Well, yeah, the heart, the heart, why are you making the decision is the heart for sure. And then also we needed all the stars to align and they did align. We needed the price that we thought the house was worth. To match up with the cellar. We needed, you know, the ability to get some yard, which we were able to do by buying some of the land beside us.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
And, yeah, we needed all that to match up, wouldn't you say?
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Like, we wouldn't have bought...

Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Let's just kind of close the loop. Emancipated does mean what Jules said, where you're leaving your family as a minor.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
You have wanted to own a house since the moment I met you. at least the first second day I met you you have been talking about buying a house we need this to close okay let's now hold on I have to get this because I have a list of the questions and we kind of skipped ahead of one which is I'm sorry I'm behind are you buying the place where you are renting or just found a house in the neighborhood
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
And I just want to say we're buying the house we were renting. Yes. Just to double click on that. We always wanted to live in this neighborhood. We talked about the stairs of this house. We talked about like the stairs was my main thing. And then the other main thing was like the price. We thought it was overpriced considering everything else that we looked at.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
That's Jules' mom.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
But Harrison and I looked at probably 50 houses. And no house could beat this house or this location. And so we got really lucky when the price worked out. But we loved this house.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Kissed a lot of frogs and finally found our prince.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
I thought we were going to say hoes. There's a... I was like, what? Can't say that because there's no such thing as a hoe.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Yeah, you're so excited about it and like so am I, you guys, because now we have all these visions for this house. And so a lot of people are asking what are we going to do to the house? Yeah. We're going to do a lot to the house. Um, the first thing we're going to do is really fence off the whole entire thing.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
And like, so we, we're going to have enough room to put in a pool, but we want to do a giant fence around the whole thing. So Bubba can go outside and run and we don't have to worry about the street.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Yeah. Um, we're also going to do. So a lot of you are asking about the stairs and I, and the stairs make me really nervous. They don't make Harrison nervous at all. We're going to do gates, um,
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
They are see-through stairs.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
They're not... Like, a little kid can slip through the crack of them and fall. They're exposed stairs. They're floating stairs.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Yes, pepper.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
We use it all the time.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
I think that we're absolutely going to gate them off, but I don't even think that's enough. I think it's too risky. So what I'm going to propose to you is we finish off the stairs. We put wood in between each one.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Cannot have it. Can't have it.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
No question. That's pretty... So we're going to... Yeah, so I think what we're going to do is... Okay, good. I was going to propose this to you. But are you down for the wood to be finished off?
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
It's just, we just need to make them like regular stairs and then carpet it. So it's safe.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Ginny's Julie's dog, and she did a great job. She was great. She really had a star performance.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
She is. Yeah. Okay, so the other things we're going to do is wood floors upstairs, adding a closet upstairs. Down here in the basement, Harrison's going to wall off one area so it can be like a playroom.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Yeah, we're going to do some chandeliers. We're going to do – well, we might – we're actually going to maybe add a breakfast banquet to the table.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
I agree. This is one thing I will say. Harrison has already had the fence guy come over, the pool guy come over, the guy to look at moving the HVAC in the attic so we can add the attic as a room. Like, you're on it. You're a doer. I thought we were going to make this list and never do it, but you're doing it.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
We dropped, we lost a listener, and I'm really happy to know she's returned.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
take your ideas and and turn them into into like a concrete vision harrison's been going outside and taking a photo of our house submitting it to ai and saying build a gate around this house and it uses our house and builds the gate around it it's unbelievable yeah and so it was funny the gate that when the gate guy was over yesterday
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Well, she's commenting adorable on our photo, so it's nice to know she's come through the podcast as well. Phew. I mean, I was actually sad she stopped listening. I didn't understand why. I just, I didn't know. Besides the fact she doesn't probably have small children, not probably doesn't have small, she doesn't have small children.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
I agree. I would like to get in one as well. Okay, let's talk about how we're... So let's talk about the loan that you took. Talk about the finances of the house. How are we paying for the house? How's it set up between you and I? And then how did we get the money? And let me just give you some flowers. Is there another... A box of chocolate. You...
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
did such a good job saving for this moment of buying the house. You really, I think while you say it's the American dream to be able to buy a house, I think it's also got to be like a father's dream to be able to put his family in a house. So good job.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
In this house that we hope that we get, we get to close on. And so explain this to me because I like thought it was ours when everyone signed the document. So now the money goes to escrow and they hold it.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
And then it's released to the seller once the paperwork's are signed.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Seven days. Yeah.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Because we had a quick close. And we knew the offer was contingent upon a quick close. Right.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Okay. So speaking of money, so talk a bit about the interest markets and then where you took your money from. And how we're going to set it up between you and I, which is, let's do that first. So the way we're going to set it up between you and I is you're going to do the down payment.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
And then I'm going to do the payments to, what do we call those? They're not interest payments, loan payments. What are those?
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
that would be hilarious if that was the case um okay okay so what were we talking about i don't know but i loved what it was but all i know oh i want to get a better vocab okay not a better vocabulary a younger vocab like i want to say like that's so dope or cap um Because I don't want to be so aged out of what the cool kids are saying.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Oh, yeah. I'm paying for the renovations. Oh, we're going to split. Oh, I thought I was paying. Is it a mortgage? But it's not a real mortgage.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Okay. But I thought I was paying the mortgage. I'm glad we're doing this live. Let me know. If you want to split it, that's great.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
No, no, no.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Split it.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
He does this. Imagine in the middle of the night. We think it's a small esophagus.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
I know, but I think she learned it from you and she thinks it's cool that she coughs like that.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
I don't know. Oh, she has those.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
She has such a cute cough. I don't know. That's a good question. She does. She has the cough thing like you do though. Are we going to split the mortgage? Okay. So what happened is because you always got to do worst case scenario planning, which is very sad, but I don't want people listening to think that we didn't think about this.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
So Harrison put down the down payment and then who's doing the mortgage? You or me? We'll split it.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Let's say for the sake of the podcast, we're going to split it. Okay, perfect. And then I'm going to do the renovation payment. So let's say the renovation costs $2.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
And let's say the down payment costs $5. Yeah. When we go to sell, you recoup your $5, I recoup my $2, and then we split the profit.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Unless I pay for the mortgage, then I get that back too.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
But hey, if you're not afraid of doomsday, you're never too cool to plan for it.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Do you know what I mean? I don't hate when, but I don't think we need to hear him be like, it's never going to happen. It's like, okay, I don't think it's going to happen. We think the odds are zero, but still.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
And what's going on with the mortgage? You want to talk about that a bit?
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
You did some debt equity thing. Debt equity? What was it called? What was your thing? what rationale as to how much to take out versus how much to put down. Cause you put down a lot, you put down more than I expected.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Because when you take out a mortgage up to $750,000 of it, of the interest on it can be tax deductible. It's tax deductible. Okay. So that's good to know.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Okay, so then you pay down the rest.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
This is not a finance advice podcast. Allegedly, you can do the... Allegedly to everything we just said. Does that work?
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
I think that's interesting though. And so then you put down the rest and then we pay the mortgage and then... Pay the property taxes. And then we got to get insurance.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
You've been getting insurance today. Yeah. And then you got tax. What do we have? Tax, land tax, property tax.
Two Parents & A Podcast

Guys, we have 40% off Cozy Earth. I am obsessed with their pajamas. You know that I pack them in my hospital bag. They are so soft. There's like butter on your skin. It's like a cloud. They are so comfy. I wore them home from the hospital. And then the bamboo sheet set. Okay, what's so special about these sheets is they're temperature regulated.

The fabric is so enhanced that they won't pill and it's guaranteed for 10 years. So pilling is like those little balls that start to come off. None of that happens with Cozy Earth, and the softness is so superior. The ultimate ingredient for luxurious sleep, you guys, it's softness. So turn your bedroom into a sanctuary and start with sleep. Make sleep a priority now.

So then people are asking how long we think we're going to live in the house. And we had said, if we bought this house, it would be a three to five year house. We've now figured out a way. I think we can live in this for a very long time.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
But the con will be that all four bedrooms are upstairs. That'll it's, it's definitely not going to become like, we got a lot of space to have a family around here. We're not short on space. It's just going to be the only thing that I think we would outgrow is the setup of the upstairs.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
I'm excited to make this house a home. And I'm starting with repotting the front porch plants.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
And keeping them alive. Love it. Because when we were renting, I didn't water the plants. But now I'm watering the plants. Oh, yeah. Because they're my plants. Yes. And our pots.

And Bubba gets to keep a room with the pink walls.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Says he's room with the pink walls. Bubba. Bubba's sitting up in shopping carts and it is so cute. I really miss her. Okay. Let's move on now to things we DM'd each other.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
It's edgy. Is that the word?
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Thank you. You're welcome.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
All right. Let's go to. Okay. So I DM'd you. Revolve is in a lawsuit. because they were having creators not disclose that it was an ad. And a consumer sued them for $50 million and three creators, saying, I wouldn't have bought all these clothes if I thought it was an ad. The consumer thought that these creators were just organically loving the product.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
But it turns out it was an advertisement, and the consumer didn't know that, and so the consumer's mad that they bought the product.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Well... Well, number one, I think that that's kind of a crazy lawsuit. But I'll say this. So, okay. So you're supposed to, by law, do an FTC disclosure if you're doing ads. I think that's very important to say, hey, I'm being paid to say this. Because that's where you establish trust with your audience, right? So if I – I love this cardigan I'm wearing right now, okay?
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
It's American Vintage, right? They're not paying me to say that. I genuinely love this. Now, if I go put on another cardigan that I am paid to say I like it, I think it's very important to distinguish between the two. Do you agree? If somebody's paying me to say you like it, I think you should have to.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
True. I was a door dasher pregnant.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Because sometimes you just can't leave the house. Because you can't leave her here, but she's asleep, so you've got to door dash her.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Okay. So the thing about it, so revolves being sued for 50 million, but what I read that they made through, um, influencer advertisements last year was 1.1 billion. So they knew that they were at risk for this kind of a lawsuit, right, by not disclosing that they were ads. And it actually seems like the risk paid off. Like it was risky, but 1.1 billion.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
I don't know what they would have done if they were disclosing that it was ads.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Most of the time they'll say though, you say, can I have an iced coffee? And they'll say, do you mean cold brew?
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Oh, no. Harrison, this is so embarrassing. What's the other word?
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Okay, that's interesting.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Okay, so same. But one area where I do think it's interesting is Revolve has a ton of brands. It's not an ad saying, like, look, I'm shopping on Revolve. Here's what I chose. Like, these are, like, still photos. Like, these are girls wearing an outfit, you know, just like an in-feed post. And then Revolve's, like, tagged at the bottom. That doesn't really bother me.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
I do assume that that means it is paid for by Revolve. Harrison's shaking his head no. But I will say at least it's not just, like, a full-blown ad in your face where it's not disclosed on. I think that would be more confusing. But I'm with you. I think that ads must be disclosed on. Because then I think it differentiates when you're organically loving something. And so, yeah.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Totally agree. All right. What did you DM me? Something that I wasn't supposed to read.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Transparency.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
I absolutely love it. What do you think of it? I think it is a more intimate version of watching a TV show together. I love reading to Bubba at night. I can't imagine if you read to me and we've been loving watching a TV show. This to me is a more heightened version of that.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Full transparency.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Correct. And I fall asleep when people read me books. But. Happens since high school. But.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Yeah, we are. We're going to talk honestly about how we bought the house and things like that.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next

Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
We've been cooking.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
We've been watching a show before bed, except it's over.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
I agree. I agree with you. Thank you.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
So, for example, the nightly walk, isn't it? What would be a good example? Can you give me an example of something that would be good? Well, cooking, I think, is a really good one. Making an intentional dinner, hanging out together, no phones allowed. But what's another one? We go on walks around this loop a lot, but that's not one that I'm looking for.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Oh, we are going to talk about influence or transparency.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Do you want to ask it and see what it says?
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Well, we could go to get coffee and leave our phones at home and walk to the coffee shop and back. It's like a five minute walk.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
But can you tell us in the interest of full disclosure, how's your investment with them going?
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
I like that, though, making it more intentional. What I've been loving that we're doing, though, is we're cooking and we're turning on music upstairs. It's been great.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
Yes. And so that's been fun. And then tomorrow night, you and I get to get dressed up and go out. And I'm so excited because we're going to a charity gala.

Okay, so the one thing about Jersey Mike's that I just would like to double-click on, which I know that they would never say double-click, but what I think they did so well is one Mike's Way, which is just a simple oil and vinegar and salt and pepper, which is not novel, but they called it Mike's Way, so I always felt like they were doing something special.

And I woke up to Harrison's hand, just like slapping me. And he was like, the Easter egg hunt started because the neighbors in the group text, they sent a photo and they were going to the Easter egg hunt. And it, And we were late. And I, like Harrison and Tate left, because every time I get up, I have to pump. So I was 30 minutes behind them. I had this horrible guilt.
Two Parents & A Podcast
New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next
And I'm happy it happened so young. And a lot of the comments were talking about mom guilt and like it's never going to go away. There was this one mom who dropped her daughter off on PJ Day. And the doctor, the doctor, the teacher called her the next – I can't talk today – This mom dropped off her daughter at PJ Day and then the teacher called her.

And her daughter was in the bathroom crying because PJ Day was tomorrow. And I – exactly. And she felt left out. Like she was in her pajamas and everybody else was dressed. And that's really hard for a little kid. And Bubbers missed the Easter egg hunt. She can't walk but still.

We went to eat Saturday night and our babysitter canceled. So then it was just Harrison and I and Tate and we all went to eat. We were walking around downtown and Harrison said, where do you want to eat? And I said, anything sounds good. And then he suggested a restaurant. And I said, that doesn't sound good. And what happened? You stopped. You turned to me.
