Chapter 1: What updates do we have about our house?
This is how I realized you were pro-stain. So we went on, whenever we were newly dating, I went to L.A. and you were like, bring a, it was a cocktail attire outfit for the Magic Castle, which is a date night you can go on out there, which is, it was so much fun. You go and you watch magic shows. And Bill Nye the Science Guy was there.
Wow.
He was in the row in front of us.
Oh, he was. Good memory.
Yeah, that was really cool. So you wear this cocktail outfits and you go... Okay, so we're at the Magic... Why do I keep forgetting? Kingdom?
Castle.
Castle. Magic Castle, not Disneyland. And I had brought a white pantsuit and a black cocktail dress. And I was like... Oh, I would love to wear this white pantsuit, but there's a stain on it. And Harrison said, I'm pro stain. You should wear it. Because they weren't like, it wasn't like a black coffee stain on it. It was just like a light, like a wine stain. And then I was like, oh my God.
Also, there's so many things that I haven't worn that have a light stain on them. Silk blazers in particular, all of them are stained because if liquid hits it, it's staining. And it's like, I don't need to not wear them.
Yeah, I think my take on stains is if you can't really notice it in a photo, then it's good to go. Or if you can't really notice it. But if you walk right in and it's the first thing someone notices, that's when the stain's too big.

Chapter 2: How did we gain confidence in having a child so early?
And what we did was we came to the studio because we wanted to document Like Harrison was like, what's it like podcasting? And I was like, you know what? I love this studio. Let's go and we'll document our love story. Just either we'll be crazy or it'll be a digital scrapbook we'll love to have forever. And it turns out we'll love to have it forever.
And when we got here, Carlos opened the door and he was like, you two have a kid now. And we were like, that's right.
Yeah. So it was it was the end of December of twenty three.
Yeah, it was like December 16th when we came. I love this place.

Chapter 3: Did we ever question our decision to have a child quickly?
Same. Well, let's listen to it back.
Chapter 4: Have we experienced parenting style disagreements?
Yeah. And did we? Yeah. I'm fascinated.
Cause we were just like, we like had some wine and we were just like chatting and we're like, we'll just record it and see. Cause you got to remember guys, we fell very hard, very fast for each other. And so we're like, we'll record that. Now that's why we decided that this week was going to be our relationship episode because we're like, what a full circle moment. Okay, let's do our relationship.
So we have a bunch of questions from you guys. I'm very excited about them. Um, but before we do that, I would like to talk about how the only transition I have right here is the alarms on at our house. Um,
Yeah, I like there's like things that I never cared about before. And then the minute you become a father are just like priority number one. And like turning our house into a military base was the first thing I wanted to do after we took possession. And now every single inch of the outside of the home is monitored by a different camera.
I have to preface this for a second because that was a little bit of a jump moment that we just took. We're moving back to Austin. We're moving our brains back to Austin to our housing update. Okay. That's what we're talking about.
Which may be a new segment because we're going to do a lot of housing stuff. So maybe a new segment potential proposal.
Okay. I like that proposal. The housing update is alarm systems on and Harrison, you've been-
It was that we turned the house into a military base.
Okay, the people that did our alarm system, they came, and I thought they were just going to give us a quote. He got there at 10. He didn't leave until 7 p.m., called another guy to come over, and they installed the whole thing. It was crazy. Where is Fort Knox besides at our house? Where else is it now? Is it a military base? Is that San Diego?

Chapter 5: How do we decide when we're ready for baby #2?
What's the one in San Diego? Camp something.
Oh, I feel like we're not going to end up getting any of this right. But very appreciative of all the service people.
Camp Pendleton, yeah. Okay, very good. So when I used to drive from Orange County to San Diego, there would be all these military training things happening, and it was awesome. Fun fact. But yeah, our house is just locked and loaded.
Yep. And then other things that have gone on on the home front since we took possession?
Chapter 6: Does marriage feel more or less important now with kids?
Harrison has been getting the flooring guy came by the roof guy came by the stair guy came by the pool guy came by you got a lot of people that have come by and the architects came by a lot of good ideas out of that one and now you're waiting on the quotes to roll in is that right quotes we're doing quotes I love it. I love it. Okay. Do you want to hop into the questions now?
Is there anything else you'd like to say? Oh, other than what we learned on the way here.
Okay.
I do kind of want to touch on this. Let's do this. So the flight, we were delayed on the way here and we couldn't get on the plane because there was lightning. And so once we got on the plane, we also sat on the tarmac for three more hours. And the flight attendant, a lot of people were giving her a hard time. And we heard her say in passing,
Chapter 7: What are our tips for different communication styles?
She was like, guys, I didn't get paid while we were all sitting on the ground during the delay. Like I was, I was sitting there too. And Harrison and I were like, wait, come here. You don't get paid on layovers. Flight attendants don't get paid on layovers. They don't get paid until the door shuts on the airplane. So while we were grounded for three hours, she was also sitting there not paid.
And then we were grounded three more hours on the tarmac, but she does get paid during that. I had no idea.
Yeah, it was it was a shocker. And I think that like we need to give more empathy to the flight attendants and not direct our anger. Like it's so easy to get frustrated with the airlines because their customer service is so bad. Like if any other business put their customers down. Through what airlines put put their flyers through like they would just not stick in business.
And I feel like too often that frustration comes out on on the people working. And so to find that out and to find that like they're spending all those hours not getting paid to is like is pretty unacceptable.

Because I Googled it. And what they were saying was like during their layovers, they're free to do what they want. And it's like they're still in the airport, like going from one flight to the next.
Our lady, she said she got to the airport at 10 and she didn't start getting paid till 4 p.m. And that's when we shut the doors.
And then so we were like, how many hours? Because they're not allowed to fly if they hit their max amount of hours, right? Pilots and flight attendants. And she said around 15 hours, give or take. So she might be in the air for 15 hours, but she could be awake for 30 if there was delays. Isn't that kind of crazy?
I'm actually not sure that that is correct. I think that her 15 hours starts when they get to the airport, but I'm not sure.
It should be a paid 15 hours, though, then.
I think the minute they step in that airport, they should get paid.
I completely agree. Okay.
