Stick around. Help Wanted will be right back.
Welcome back to Help Wanted. Let's get to it.
Oh, my God. Would you call him and ask him? Nicole, if you would. If you would call him and ask him, I got some questions for him. Did you think about saying something? And then also, if Nicole noticed and just wrote you and gave you what is the actual explanation, which is, okay, so just to be clear, I don't actually call him daddy.
It was like a joke and it was from the TV show and the whole thing. Is that worse than Does that look like you're making up a story? How do you clean this up? I guess is the question. That's what I really want to know. How do you clean this up? And what is Ryan thinking? Can we call Ryan? Okay, let's call Ryan. Do you hear a hear?
So number one, we are so glad to hear from you right now. Number two, we're going to tell you something. It's not going to be embarrassing for you. It is going to be embarrassing for Nicole.
Ryan, I have a simple question for you. Ready? When Nicole sent you an email and introduced you to Jared, did you notice anything funny in that email?
Well, because when Nicole noticed it, she was mortified. And then she sent me and Morgan a voice memo about it in which she could barely breathe. It was possibly the greatest couple minutes of audio I've ever heard. And our first question is, what did you think? And our second question is, what did you do next?
The PSA, Ryan, is that Nicole had absolutely no idea that the way you list someone in their phone is how they show up in the email. That was not a thing she knew until she sent this email.
Oh, I didn't sign up for that. All right. Well, talk to you soon.
Nicole, how do you feel right now? Do you want the very honest answer?
Yes.
Yeah. Well, I mean, in any other circumstance, you might as well say that it is a terrible disease. Like you have a thing growing inside of you. Usually a thing growing inside of you, not a thing you want. I think that sounds bad. You know, human life. This is how it happens. We're a bunch of animals. It's really crazy.
Like going through pregnancy just shows you like we're not elevated in any way. We're a bunch of animals doing animal things. You are beyond nine months pregnant right now, right? Like literally beyond it. Yeah, I am. We were not supposed to be recording today because you were supposed to already be on maternity leave.
Right. But just to be really, really clear before we get into this, what we're going to talk about today is we're going to talk about stepping back and what you're feeling in this moment because you... You and I, we work like crazy. And you've built this company and now you're going to take a big old break from it. And that's scary.
Which is why you're here today because... So just for context, so everybody understands, the episodes with you and I that people hear every week are recorded every other week for us. We set aside a bunch of time and then we record a bunch of episodes in a row. And two weeks ago was supposed to be the last one. And then we were supposed to say, bye, Nicole, have a wonderful maternity.
And you were like, no, if I haven't had the baby, we're going to make another recording, which is crazy, but also says a lot about how dedicated you are to your work. How is it staring down, stepping away? How are you feeling about that?
Just to be clear, the vast majority of the time, almost all the time that people have heard you, you have been on mic in a studio, which was actually just in a bedroom in your home that you would set up as a studio. And now that bedroom is taken over by a baby. So you had to go find another place to put that microphone.
You know, what's interesting is. this metaphor that you had has evolved because, so work was your first baby and that baby had its own little nursery in the form of a studio in your home. That's right. And then the baby had, the work baby got kicked out for an actual baby, which is forcing the work baby to grow up and to become like a work child or a work young adult. Yeah.
And, and for a while you were like, well, but maybe they can both be babies and they can both have their own little nurseries at home. But you're thinking, no, no, no. Like this is, this is, this is actually like to have a child is in some way to accelerate or to force the evolution of the other things in your life, which, which is exactly what it's worth.
What I have found with me, like I am, and we've talked about this, I am so deeply frustrated with, By the thoughts of how much more I might have accomplished or could do or whatever that I can't because I have kids. But at the same time, I have to remind myself that the time of my life in which I have had children, which has been nine years, I have a nine year old and a five year old.
