Is it OK to swear in front of your kids?
And see, even Priscilla's got her head in her hand. Valentine's Day is a special day.
And you were sad because they were from the grocery store.
How can parents handle newborn travel anxiety?
Did you run the London Marathon?
I did London Marathon, South Africa Marathon.
I would be like, I have to be in bed, my phone has to be up, you cannot talk to me past 8, and I need to eat the proper amount of carbs to have enough energy the next day. And you're like, fuck it, I could have some beers.
Someone last night was literally like, did you know Alex is planking in the middle of the night?
I am. When I'm pumping, I work up a little sweat. I used to be able to plank for days, so I'm trying to get back to that. Welcome back to another episode of Just Alex. It's December. Tis the mother truckin' season. Do we want to cuss in front of Tate? At what age do we not want to cuss in front of Tate, or do you not care? I know that people have shifted on that. Harrison is here. He's thinking.
Well, I know what I'd say publicly versus privately if it's going to happen.
So publicly you'd like to say you won't cuss that often, but privately you know you will? That's not what this podcast is about. You be honest. Be honest with the people.
I think there's a time and a place for a swear word.
What baby rule do parents wish they could break?
But you don't want to be throwing them around loosely?
No. Make your fucks mean something.
Well, if you use the F word, I guess I'm not saying it, too loosely, then it does lose its luster. You do need to use your cuss words with ump, and the less you use them, the more power they hold.
I like how you call them cuss words.
What do you call them, curse words? Swear words. Swear words?
Yeah. Is that a Canada versus U.S. thing?
No, I think swear, cuss, curse, those are all fair game. Bad, naughty words. No-no's.
Well, mommy, daddy words, official statement, no swing in front of child.
But when do you want to start that? Like you think she can pick up on it now? Her first words, fuck. Her first words is going to be data. It's fine. It's fine. I was walking behind you guys today. You know, I always walk about 15 feet behind you guys because I just love to walk behind people in general. You had your corduroy holder. She was in it. You guys were hanging out and I thought this is her first word is going to be data.
Yep.
This is my life.
We are good friends, her and I.
She's not your friend. She is your daughter. You guys are not friends.
I kind of think we're pals.
No. No, no, no. Pals are... Friends are not people that you learn from. I mean, they are, actually. But in this regard, you are her caretaker. Of course.
I think there's so many things that I'm thinking about in terms of the care of her that are above thinking about when we can start swearing in front of her or not.
Yeah, no, it's so true. This week we have LA, then OKC, a bunch of cities with some abbreviations. So tomorrow we're going to LA, which I'm anxious about, which we'll talk about. And then we're going from there to Oklahoma City, where I was going to see my family. So I'm super excited about that. But I'm also anxious about that. I get anxious traveling with her because she's not a light load. I don't think you get anxious at all. The way you get on this airplane with 17 bags and can put them all on the spot, I'm paralyzed. I just sit there and think, oh my God, I could never.
Do you think it's the hormones? Because my stress levels over there, I think the next six, seven days are going to be really fun.
No, I think they're going to be fun too. I don't know why. I don't know. It would be interesting to realize if I could identify if it was anxiousness or nervousness. You know what I mean? Because there's like a difference. Or aren't those actually right by each other in the emotion wheel? No idea. Anxiety and nerves? I don't know. They're beside each other, aren't they? Yeah. Yeah, I think so. I think I have both. And you know anxiety can be like really excited as well.
Yeah, I just feel like, wait, so what are you anxious about? Like, what is it specifically?
