If we had kids, I mean, at that point, the staff of the radio show, when she and I were considering this, was still pretty small. It was still seven people, which is a lot of people for a weekly radio show. But for like a super highly produced one, it was still like, you know, it was hard to get the show on the air. And so I didn't know how we would do it. Like, I just didn't know how to do it.

There came a point in my life after I was married and divorced that I grew up with somebody who had a little boy. And when we got together, he was... Five, he just turned six when we got together. And at some point we moved in.

I had the experience of living with somebody and her kid and really was very totally involved in the kid's life and just in the most everyday way that you can be if it's three people living in a small apartment and one of you is under 10. And so like doing some work with them and inventing games with them and just sitting around and doing stuff and watching TV and leaning on each other.

And just like, and I feel like I really, I had the experience anyways where I realized like, oh, I really did not picture what this would be like. Like when I pictured having kids, I pictured the kind of baby face that I'd seen friends go through. And I hadn't pictured this. And I feel like for the first time I felt like, oh, I totally get it in an emotional way.

Like I understood in the abstract why people have children. before this, you know, like it's not that complicated of a thing to understand, but I didn't get like why it could feel good to me to do it. Like I really liked it. I really liked having kid in the house.

I really liked being one of the adults caring for that kid and looking out for that kid and thinking about that kid and having like a daily relationship. And his mom was like, should we have a kid? You know? And, um, It's funny, like, I mean, the real honest answer is I wasn't sure how I would manage that with my job.

And I didn't want to be, I didn't want to have a kid if I was going to be absent.
