His whole family's from there forever.

He will never leave.

We'll be there forever.

Yeah.

So it's sort of like the family compound.

It used to be like his...

dad's house and then like the house he grew up in across and then his sister's house and the next to that was like another family house it was like this huge plot of farmland i think they used to be like tobacco farmers or something so awesome matt had the 40 acres on it and then we've sort of built on jeff his brother is next to us and then across is their dad who's passed and then next to that is my dad

Yes.

Love it.

I grew up, you know, that apartment that I grew up in Queens, I mentioned that my dad was the super of the building.

Right.

So when people would die, he would die.

get he would get first dibs on their apartment you know what i was like if next of kin didn't come and claim the stuff it's going in the dump or my dad's taking it you know what i mean right so we had this very eclectic mix of like antiques and and old stuff and oddities and sort of weird stuff so that was the apartment that i grew up in it was very like mixed match and antique right so to me that was normal and i always thought that was the most beautiful thing i didn't never want anything modern or you know futuristic even throughout like

y2k everything's you know modern i just i wanted to live like in a castle my whole life so even like i feel like i would ask for christmas for like i want like a beauty and the beast mirror but like i would get like something pink and plastic and i'd be like what the fuck is this right i wanted the carved wood gilded exactly so that's sort of like my whole life that was like goals you know so when i had when i was pregnant with gothic baby

uh is she evermore yeah i love the names thank you i love all i what is it maxell evermore which i found out on twitter is very controversial name bartholomew fuck i didn't know that i didn't either until i posted it apparently bartholomew is like a name that you call somebody like make fun of them or like when you think somebody's not cool you just like karen you're like okay karen if somebody's not cool you say like okay bartholomew like

didn't know that i've never heard that in my life me neither bro no i felt like god damn it i didn't know that that is insane okay so when you were pregnant with gothic baby so she was my first girl after three boys and i have it in my head like i'm a boy mom that's that's all i am i don't know how to deal with girls especially with all the with my mom i don't know how to have a relationship like with a mom or with a girl so i was to break the cycle so you know the first girl after

sorry matt's over here like asmr it's okay it's okay bro no the first girl after three boys and i could either like go completely pink ruffle glitter like you know barbie or you know maybe something more gender neutral which is what i ended up going with so the original intent for like the nursery was never i was never like i'm gonna make a gothic nursery it was like i'm gonna do something neutral and try and make it like as lux as i can without being modern so

To me, what does that mean?

A lot of antiques, a lot of like draperies and stuff.

And then even in just sharing that stuff, you know, and there's nothing inherently, I would say, goth in her room.
