Full Episode
What was that like holding Abby for the first time? It made me cry.
This is terrible. Oh, it's okay. This is where I get it from, man.
Did you guys even put your baby in a car seat? Was that something that you did?
There wasn't even a seat belt law then. It wasn't a real safety car seat. If you'd throw the brakes on, the baby'd probably fly. Oh my gosh.
Through your life, do you feel like you've seen women's rights change a lot? The opportunities for women have multiplied tremendously. Didn't you have a mantra you had to say at your fitness class? We had a thing we said. My ex's poundage is there for all the world to see. What a fool I've been.
Wow, the times have changed.
I feel very blessed to have such close relationships with both my grandmas. It's going to be funny having them together on this. We're going to get a little sassiness, a little humor, and it's going to be really sweet because I think the relationship I have with both of you guys is very special.
It is really sweet. And I think what's so interesting, Diane and I were on a one hour drive to get here. I picked her up from her place out east and we were driving and we were just talking about all the differences between your generation and our generation. And I kind of want to get into that because something I was thinking about is when I brought our son home from the hospital,
I was so nervous about driving well below the speed limit on the highway and getting him perfectly positioned in his car seat. But when you guys drove home with your children from the hospital, did you guys even have car seats? Did you put your baby in a car seat? Was that something that you did?
