Baby F%cking Blues in Texas

Saddle up, y’all; this one is a journey! In this episode, Gabrielle and Tay dish on their recent nightmare-ish travels to Texas with their sweet angel baby boy, emphasizing that traveling with a little one is no f%cking joke. Initially planned as a simple podcast recording trip, it turned into a test of endurance with a cramped flight, an inadequate hotel, and a sick Gabrielle riding the struggle bus pretty much the whole time. And to top it all off, the whole family ended up catching the same virus, and let's just say, it's been one hell of a ride. Despite the chaos, the experience provided them with some learning lessons for their upcoming summer travels with the baby and was a true bonding experience for the whole fam. They then wrap up the episode by diving into listener questions, offering their sage advice and words of wisdom, opening up about their dynamic post-baby, and so much more!

[00:00:54] You believe that she's a...

[00:00:55] Hey this is Gabrielle Stone.

[00:00:56] I'm not interested in that.

[00:00:57] He did what?

[00:00:58] 48 hours?

[00:00:59] That was thick.

[00:01:00] Yeah but have you seen all the photos on our Instagram?

[00:01:03] And this is FML Talk.

[00:01:06] Oh no she didn't.

[00:01:07] I'm so fucking tired.

[00:01:09] Yeah.

[00:01:10] I'm still so fucking tired.

[00:01:12] Yeah you can hear it in my voice.

[00:01:13] When did we come back from that trip?

[00:01:15] In two weeks.

[00:01:16] I'm so, so tired.

[00:01:18] Well there's a lot of factors.

[00:01:19] No my soul is tired.

[00:01:21] Took a couple years off your life, did it?

[00:01:24] Yeah.

[00:01:25] Yeah.

[00:01:26] I mean it was rough.

[00:01:27] There's so many factors to play into it that you have to kind of set up.

[00:01:31] Yeah okay let's take you guys through the trip so you're not scared to travel with a baby

[00:01:37] because I'm sure it's not as dramatic as I'm making it sound but...

[00:01:41] It isn't.

[00:01:42] Because I was right there.

[00:01:44] I think I was right there on the seat next to you.

[00:01:47] Okay.

[00:01:48] It wasn't as dramatic but again.

[00:01:50] Okay so we went to Texas.

[00:01:51] This was the trip that I was supposed to take with just me and my mom for 48 hours to go

[00:01:56] to do an in-person podcast for Danny Morrell which will be coming out in the next few

[00:02:03] months.

[00:02:04] And I was going to record an episode, my mom was going to record an episode and in

[00:02:08] my brain I was like I'll just go in November.

[00:02:10] Like I'll be able to leave the baby by then and I'll just pump on the...

[00:02:14] What the fuck was I thinking?

[00:02:15] I was not ready to leave in November.

[00:02:17] And lo and behold the week before I was supposed to go on that trip Tay's back one

[00:02:21] out and I was like well I'm not leaving my little baby with my husband when he's

[00:02:25] broken.

[00:02:26] So we did not go, we rescheduled and then I was like oh maybe I can con Tay into

[00:02:33] coming with me and bringing the baby so I don't have to leave the baby and just

[00:02:38] pitch it as like a this will be a really good travel test before we go out of

[00:02:44] the fucking country to Portugal this summer.

[00:02:46] Which is like in two months.

[00:02:48] Yeah which is I'm so tired.

[00:02:50] Right.

[00:02:52] Yeah.

[00:02:53] So anyways I conned them into doing that but it was a really good...

[00:02:57] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:02:58] It wasn't that much conning and it's like going down to Austin and it was like

[00:03:01] well you know I was like I was you know it was fun.

[00:03:04] And fun fact the first time my ex-wife and I took my daughter on a trip like

[00:03:11] this was to Austin Texas at the same age.

[00:03:14] That's a fun fact.

[00:03:15] Just watching you stumble through that.

[00:03:17] I was thinking if the dates and stuff.

[00:03:21] Anyways, so...

[00:03:22] Yeah you're right I'm tired.

[00:03:24] So let us paint the picture for you.

[00:03:28] This is our first my first time obviously traveling with a baby.

[00:03:31] Tay's first time in a very long time traveling with a baby and grandma

[00:03:34] was in tow.

[00:03:35] Grandma, love you mom is a notoriously anxious flyer which she would

[00:03:39] be like what are you talking about?

[00:03:40] No I'm not but everyone that has traveled with her would agree that

[00:03:43] and anyways we went, got to the airport early, everything was

[00:03:49] really smooth it was fine.

[00:03:51] Got on the plane, nursed him during takeoff, stone was a rock star

[00:03:56] on the plane brought the fucking flight attendants thank you cards

[00:03:59] with like Starbucks gift cards in it like the whole nine.

[00:04:02] He did pretty well.

[00:04:03] Yeah that was a power move by the way.

[00:04:05] Thank you.

[00:04:06] Thank you.

[00:04:07] I don't know what TikTok is.

[00:04:08] I saw that on but the fucking power move.

[00:04:10] It was a two hour and 15 minute flight on the way there and he

[00:04:14] slept for probably like 25 minutes took a 25 minute nap in my

[00:04:18] arms but like did pretty well on the plane.

[00:04:20] Like he was curious when he wasn't sleeping.

[00:04:23] Yeah he wasn't like fussy like he was pretty chill.

[00:04:26] I will say that sitting in coach with you and me and then

[00:04:34] someone next to us like is a lot because you're like you

[00:04:39] feel bad for the other person and you're trying to keep the baby

[00:04:42] chill and then like you can't really stretch out and like make

[00:04:46] them go sideways unless someone sitting next to you.

[00:04:49] It's a whole like Tetris thing and what?

[00:04:53] No.

[00:04:54] You looked at me like you didn't understand that reference.

[00:04:56] No I'm literally blanking out on the flight there or the flight

[00:05:00] back.

[00:05:01] You were sitting in the middle, I was sitting in the aisle.

[00:05:03] I held him pretty much the whole way there because he

[00:05:06] was just chilling and then I nursed him on take off and take

[00:05:09] down and there was a guy sitting next to you with headphones.

[00:05:12] That's right.

[00:05:13] So we get to Austin, we get to the hotel.

[00:05:17] The difficult thing is like Stone's on a pretty like regimented

[00:05:22] nap schedule and he's not super great at napping on the go

[00:05:26] because he gets FOMO and he's like I want to fucking see what

[00:05:29] we're doing and where are we going and let me be a part of

[00:05:32] the crew and let me wonder where he gets that from.

[00:05:36] Well, I mean really both of us.

[00:05:39] Yeah well.

[00:05:40] Don't give me that shit.

[00:05:42] You got FOMO like the rest of us.

[00:05:45] So we end up like getting to the hotel getting set up.

[00:05:50] I will say I never want to stay in a hotel again with a baby.

[00:05:53] So the traveling, yes.

[00:05:56] Everybody's thinking when we're talking about traveling it's

[00:05:58] flying it's not.

[00:06:00] We're going to Portugal that we're thinking big on the flying.

[00:06:03] Yeah, the hotel was a bad idea.

[00:06:05] Yeah.

[00:06:06] And you know I've never that is something I don't think I've

[00:06:10] ever done.

[00:06:12] Really wild.

[00:06:14] They didn't have airbnbs back in the day.

[00:06:18] Well this was 11 years ago and it was in Austin and I pointed

[00:06:22] out the airbnb that it was it was a condo.

[00:06:25] It was an embassy suite condo thing so like yeah.

[00:06:28] It was a boutique hotel.

[00:06:30] It didn't have a ton of room.

[00:06:32] It was a fucking bad idea.

[00:06:34] We were like trying to black out all the fucking lights that

[00:06:36] were shining when you turned all the lights off and like covering

[00:06:39] things with sweatshirts and like we put the travel crib in the

[00:06:42] bathroom it was a whole fucking thing.

[00:06:44] We also have to preface this that we are in the middle or

[00:06:46] you know of sleep training our child.

[00:06:48] Not in the middle like he's.

[00:06:50] Towards the end of it but yeah.

[00:06:52] Which is when you get off schedule.

[00:06:54] With that otherwise he jumps off and then you kind of

[00:06:57] re-navigate back to that.

[00:06:59] So I think when you get off schedule like it really throws him

[00:07:03] off and we're trying to keep him on the schedule so it

[00:07:05] sustains.

[00:07:06] So we end up going to dinner.

[00:07:09] And I was like in a state one of the hardest things for me

[00:07:13] navigating this new chapter of like being out and with

[00:07:17] the baby is like I can do it and I look like a rockstar

[00:07:21] doing it but it's not fun for me because and this is

[00:07:25] my shit that I've been looking at since this trip that this

[00:07:27] trip brought up which we will get to so wonderfully to smack

[00:07:31] me in the fucking face is like I don't want to pass him off to

[00:07:36] tear to my mom because if he's fussy and like squirmy then

[00:07:40] I feel bad and I feel responsible to be like here let

[00:07:44] me help even though they're totally capable of doing that

[00:07:47] and sometimes me because here's the thing you have to

[00:07:51] say like sometimes he's just he just needs his mom.

[00:07:54] Yeah, no but that's not the times I'm talking about.

[00:07:56] Okay.

[00:07:57] I'm talking the times that he's just like fussy and it's like

[00:07:59] we're trying to sit somewhere and he's squirmy.

[00:08:01] Right, right, right.

[00:08:02] It's like you know it is what it is.

[00:08:03] It's annoying for whoever's going to be holding him.

[00:08:05] Yeah, you take that under your.

[00:08:06] Yeah, I feel burdened when I see you or my mom or

[00:08:10] someone else doing that and then you're like dude

[00:08:12] I'm fine like let him be here but then I see

[00:08:14] you getting frustrated so then I want to swoop in

[00:08:17] and fix the situation anyways.

[00:08:19] So it's been difficult for me to be like okay let's

[00:08:23] just go and like if you can't nap you can't nap

[00:08:26] if he's fussy if he's like let's just go and like

[00:08:29] I will have a good time.

[00:08:31] I always end up getting too stressed and then I'm like

[00:08:33] we should like let's just fucking.

[00:08:35] I love having people over here at our house.

[00:08:38] I think that in time we'll.

[00:08:40] Well, I think it's already starting.

[00:08:42] Yeah, yeah, I mean we'll be able to.

[00:08:44] Like last night we walked to a cute little

[00:08:46] sushi restaurant he stayed in his stroller

[00:08:48] we like fed him different stuff at the table like.

[00:08:50] Well I'm going to say something that I didn't know.

[00:08:53] I would say okay I think that might be.

[00:08:57] A trauma trigger for you from when how maybe your mom

[00:09:01] how your dad was really adamant on you not raising

[00:09:05] being all loud and disrespectful at restaurants he was

[00:09:09] always really big on that maybe some some of your.

[00:09:13] I don't think I would call it a trauma.

[00:09:15] But yeah my mom talks all the time about how when I

[00:09:18] was little they would take me to like nice restaurants

[00:09:21] and stuff and she would always keep me busy and

[00:09:24] like have stuff for me to do but if I started getting fussy

[00:09:27] my dad was like no no no like you got to take her outside

[00:09:29] to like go chill and play and stuff which I agree with

[00:09:32] like I it's like if you're going to take a baby to

[00:09:35] a nice fucking restaurant yeah no like there's people

[00:09:38] there on dates there's people are doing stuff like

[00:09:40] if they get fussy like take him outside and go for a walk

[00:09:42] but anyways this has been like even at my mom's house

[00:09:45] like it's just been hard to drop in and like enjoy

[00:09:51] myself while tending to all the baby stuff and that

[00:09:57] really was apparent at that first dinner and you ended

[00:10:00] up taking him on a walk he fell asleep in the stroller

[00:10:03] which totally fucked us in the ass later but it was

[00:10:06] needed to happen he was like so fucking tired and you

[00:10:09] came back he slept for like 20 minutes we all ate

[00:10:11] our entrees and we ended up having like a really nice

[00:10:14] time so we go home we get him to bed later than normal

[00:10:18] the sleep train plan was like put him to bed at 9pm

[00:10:22] let him wake up at 9am because then you just like

[00:10:25] you're only there for a couple days you're keeping him

[00:10:27] on LA time like don't try and time change him

[00:10:29] he woke up at like 6am every morning and was like

[00:10:33] fuck you fat chance like let's party there was

[00:10:36] no 9am in the system but so we ended up getting

[00:10:39] him to bed that first night I didn't really

[00:10:41] sleep that well because he's in like a fucking

[00:10:43] travel crib I'm like his mattress is different

[00:10:46] like can he breathe is he on his face right is he

[00:10:48] even still in there like if it was just it was

[00:10:51] just like a weird this was the first time we were

[00:10:54] in an environment that wasn't and again hotel

[00:10:58] yeah and again hotels of bad idea for fucking

[00:11:01] seven months he was in the bathroom yeah he

[00:11:03] basically we moved it yeah it was it was just

[00:11:06] all the I wish I could say I am a superwoman

[00:11:13] and on top of all that I do cook every night

[00:15:43] we got in the Uber I'm

[00:15:45] just like trying to take deep

[00:15:47] breath holding it together for this

[00:15:49] 45-minute car ride that we are now

[00:15:51] taking to this interview

[00:15:53] we got off the freeway and

[00:15:55] I feel it that fucking

[00:15:57] horrible feeling of

[00:15:59] like you're gonna puke

[00:16:01] and it's gonna happen

[00:16:03] and there's nothing you can do about it

[00:16:05] it's like the rumbling that's now

[00:16:07] coming up through your chest it's

[00:16:09] the worst fucking feeling ever

[00:16:11] and so I tell

[00:16:13] our very nice Uber driver who doesn't speak

[00:16:15] super great English can you please

[00:16:17] pull over and he was like what

[00:16:19] and I was like can you please pull over

[00:16:21] and my mom gets very dramatically

[00:16:23] she's gonna throw up can you please pull over

[00:16:25] didn't pull over in time so

[00:16:27] I rolled the Tesla window down thank god

[00:16:29] the button worked because like the doors

[00:16:31] on that fucking thing are

[00:16:33] like you're inside a goddamn space

[00:16:35] we would have still been in dealing with that

[00:16:37] I launched my head out of the Tesla window

[00:16:41] and projectile vomited

[00:16:43] onto the street

[00:16:45] oh so the street or freeway this was a freeway

[00:16:47] no no this was a street

[00:16:49] he then understood what was happening

[00:16:51] and pulled into a parking lot

[00:16:53] where I then figured

[00:16:55] out how to open the door and puked two more times

[00:16:57] in the parking lot

[00:16:59] missing the Tesla the entire time

[00:17:01] there was no puke on the car I was very proud of that

[00:17:03] meanwhile Stone and I were

[00:17:05] starting our first walk through Austin

[00:17:07] we were checking out the capital

[00:17:09] and

[00:17:11] so then we end up

[00:17:13] going to the interview

[00:17:15] I'm like trying to pretend that I'm totally

[00:17:17] fine and not dying

[00:17:19] and

[00:17:21] I go in I somehow pull it together I do the

[00:17:23] interview you guys listen to it when it comes out

[00:17:25] let me know if you can tell that I'm like on my

[00:17:27] fucking deathbed on the inside

[00:17:29] I finished my mom goes into shoot her

[00:17:31] interview I go into their backyard and I like

[00:17:33] laid on their

[00:17:35] sun chair

[00:17:37] and just like laid in the sun for

[00:17:39] however long she was recording for

[00:17:41] and at this point Stone is down for his first nap

[00:17:43] no

[00:17:45] incorrect Stone was

[00:17:47] napping when we left in the Tesla

[00:17:49] oh back

[00:17:51] on our way there

[00:17:53] I'm sorry I'm sorry his second

[00:17:55] no no so no this is where Tay fucked up

[00:17:59] I was too sick

[00:18:01] I was like when's his next nap and he was like

[00:18:03] one p.m. this is when I fucked up

[00:18:05] yeah I was like when's his next nap and he

[00:18:07] was like 1 p.m. and I was too sick

[00:18:09] to count and be like you're wrong

[00:18:11] you're an hour early

[00:18:13] listen guys when you have somebody in

[00:18:15] full control over everything

[00:18:17] and they go down

[00:18:19] it's just madness the whole ship

[00:18:21] goes down in a fiery fucking

[00:18:23] way all of a sudden like just everything

[00:18:25] went dark for

[00:18:27] so I'm with my mom

[00:18:29] it's probably like a whole

[00:18:31] like a four hour

[00:18:33] excursion from when we left the hotel

[00:18:35] to when we got there shot the interviews

[00:18:37] and got back

[00:18:39] I'm texting with Tay in the car on the way home

[00:18:41] while I'm laying on my mother's lap

[00:18:43] in the fucking Uber back

[00:18:45] and this is after throwing up a myriad of times

[00:18:47] and

[00:18:49] we're on our way back

[00:18:51] and I'm texting Tay

[00:18:53] and I'm like what's going on with the baby

[00:18:55] and he's like well I tried to put him down

[00:18:57] and he's like I'm having it

[00:18:59] he like wouldn't go to sleep so now we're up

[00:19:01] I put him in the carrier we're walking around Austin

[00:19:03] and I was like wait what

[00:19:05] like why wouldn't he have gone to sleep

[00:19:07] and I look at the clock and I'm like

[00:19:09] an hour early you were an hour early

[00:19:11] of course he wasn't going to go to sleep

[00:19:13] he was a fucking tired

[00:19:15] so then he's out walking around Austin

[00:19:17] and he's like oh fuck

[00:19:19] and now he's falling asleep in the carrier

[00:19:21] shit shit he's going to sleep and I'm 20 minutes away from the hotel

[00:19:23] so he fell asleep

[00:19:25] in the carrier took a short cat nap which like

[00:19:27] he probably needed a much longer one

[00:19:29] but it was what it was and so we're

[00:19:31] texting in the car and he's like okay where are you

[00:19:33] I was like I'm 15 minutes away

[00:19:35] I have to throw up

[00:19:37] breasts don't come and throw up and then I'll come get him

[00:19:39] to breastfeed him we end up walking

[00:19:41] in stone sees me and he's like

[00:19:43] no I'm going to mom bitch like

[00:19:45] he like jumps

[00:19:47] jumps not jumps swarms into my

[00:19:49] arms and he's

[00:19:51] doing this thing lately where like

[00:19:53] he tries he like uses his legs

[00:19:55] to like crawl away from

[00:19:57] your chest it's like

[00:19:59] I can't I don't know how to paint the picture better than that

[00:20:01] but like he starts like running on your chest

[00:20:03] to like basically

[00:20:05] be like putting down so I can walk away

[00:20:07] even though I'm not walking yeah so

[00:20:09] I was in a crop top and

[00:20:11] pants and his

[00:20:13] jagged ass talent of a

[00:20:15] fucking toenail I mean I swear to god

[00:20:17] it was like the

[00:20:19] fucking raptor from Jurassic Park

[00:20:21] fucking sliced my stomach open

[00:20:23] it looked like it was bleeding I was like

[00:20:25] cool awesome okay

[00:20:27] so we get in the fucking elevator I go

[00:20:29] upstairs I hand him to my mom

[00:20:31] I puke in the toilet I wash

[00:20:33] my hands I come back I breastfeed

[00:20:35] him and then you

[00:20:37] ate your lunch that you had just ordered came upstairs

[00:20:39] and basically what happened

[00:20:41] was like I could not mom

[00:20:43] that day no you are a hundred

[00:20:45] percent incapable

[00:20:47] it was scary and other than what I

[00:20:49] have done if you weren't there honestly

[00:20:51] well yeah you

[00:20:53] kind of you would have been fucked well no

[00:20:55] I mean I would have figured it out and he would have been sitting on the bathroom

[00:20:57] floor with me while I was puking but like

[00:20:59] when you survive that we get to you

[00:21:01] were in a point of like if he gets to the point

[00:21:03] you got to survive and other than that our

[00:21:05] thing stone and I were like

[00:21:07] we had such a good day we had lunch

[00:21:09] I had a beer at the lobby waiting

[00:21:11] for you guys like it was fun we

[00:21:13] really enjoyed it and then we really

[00:21:15] enjoyed it we did he was

[00:21:17] he was partying so then

[00:21:19] I try and lay down for like an hour

[00:21:21] he hangs out with my mom I'm still not

[00:21:23] feeling good take comes back

[00:21:25] like it's not feeling good you're sick

[00:21:27] and I was like I feel like I'm hung over

[00:21:29] and tables like you're not fucking this is not

[00:21:31] from a glass of wine projectile

[00:21:33] vomited multiple times your head hurts

[00:21:35] like this is whatever this is is not

[00:21:37] that and now at that point

[00:21:39] I started I was like oh

[00:21:41] shit because now there's a virus right

[00:21:43] so then

[00:21:45] you were like what you stay here

[00:21:47] and try and kick

[00:21:49] whatever this is out I'm going to take

[00:21:51] your mom and stone to dinner

[00:21:53] you want to take it from there yeah so then

[00:21:55] we go and oddly enough

[00:21:57] we get out to the street because there was no

[00:21:59] planning involved whatsoever we didn't

[00:22:01] know this was going to happen but we needed to

[00:22:03] eat and Gabrielle was done so we

[00:22:05] we're standing there and I'm like okay let me

[00:22:07] what kind of food do you want she's like let's get seafood

[00:22:09] so I just go to the first seafood

[00:22:11] place and happens to be this five star

[00:22:13] white tablecloth restaurant

[00:22:15] that I didn't even look in research I just

[00:22:17] saw that it was like good on yelp

[00:22:19] I was like okay we're going we walk

[00:22:21] in and it's sure as what

[00:22:23] you can think like candle light

[00:22:25] everything is like moody

[00:22:27] and white tablecloth and the waiters

[00:22:29] are all like dressed in suits

[00:22:31] and I was crazy so we

[00:22:33] just went for it we he got

[00:22:35] we got him the mashed potatoes he ate the whole

[00:22:37] thing with a espresso spoon

[00:22:39] everything everything was great your mom

[00:22:41] I had a wonderful conversation

[00:22:43] that I was really needing

[00:22:45] to have and we were

[00:22:47] obviously concerned about you but I

[00:22:49] kind of knew at that

[00:22:51] point you had something

[00:22:53] and it was like

[00:22:55] I didn't think it was food poisoning either

[00:22:57] I thought there was something else

[00:22:59] but nobody else was showing any signs

[00:23:01] so then we get

[00:23:03] home and I'm like still not okay

[00:23:05] and then Tay was like look I think you should go to your mom's room

[00:23:09] sleep for the night I will put stone down

[00:23:11] and like do bedtime

[00:23:13] and it'll be fine and of course I'm like

[00:23:15] okay but like we don't have a monitor

[00:23:17] and like what if you don't wake up and he's crying

[00:23:19] which sounds ridiculous but

[00:23:21] well many a nights we are in bed

[00:23:23] and I'm like oh that's so interesting

[00:23:25] here we go does Tay not hear

[00:23:27] the screaming Tay?

[00:23:29] yeah can you sleep through that?

[00:23:31] I can explain that because

[00:23:33] the way I can explain that is because

[00:23:35] bless your heart

[00:23:37] you've given me that permission

[00:23:41] so when I go to bed

[00:23:43] and I say night night

[00:23:45] it's like I'm turning it off

[00:23:47] if you tell me look I need you tonight

[00:23:49] or like in Austin

[00:23:51] I don't turn it off

[00:23:53] I didn't turn it off for a long time

[00:23:55] with Junie

[00:23:57] I'm so jealous of that talent

[00:23:59] and can you teach me how to do that

[00:24:01] yeah I don't know what it is

[00:24:03] there's times where my mom's like well why

[00:24:05] don't you make Tay get up and do tonight

[00:24:07] and I'm like because if we're in the same fucking house

[00:24:09] and I hear him crying

[00:24:11] let me just roll over

[00:24:13] and just go to sleep

[00:24:15] he's got this

[00:24:17] it does get to

[00:24:19] listen guys and I really want to say this

[00:24:21] it does get to that whole difference

[00:24:23] between mom and dad

[00:24:25] yes there are a lot of dads like me

[00:24:27] that are hands on

[00:24:29] there are some dads that are not hands on at all

[00:24:31] I am very hands on

[00:24:33] there's a big difference

[00:24:35] between the mom and the dad

[00:24:37] and sometimes boobs are involved

[00:24:39] but really if we were

[00:24:41] if we were fully on bottle formula

[00:24:43] it could be a different

[00:24:45] totally different ball game

[00:24:47] then we totally spend time

[00:24:49] you're either having to pump or you're having to breastfeed

[00:24:51] for me mentally like I just wouldn't

[00:24:53] be able to

[00:24:55] be like he's got it

[00:24:57] but what we do do

[00:24:59] not because of you

[00:25:01] I'm not my maternal insta

[00:25:03] but that

[00:25:05] we've talked about how we rectify

[00:25:07] that you take the

[00:25:09] two and a half hour morning shift

[00:25:11] and I usually go back to sleep

[00:25:13] but anyways we digress

[00:25:15] so we decide to do

[00:25:17] that I go to my mom's room

[00:25:19] I puke one more massive time

[00:25:21] she's like my mom's like I think we should

[00:25:23] call the hotel doctor

[00:25:25] to come to a hotel visit

[00:25:27] I'm like mom this isn't the fucking 50s

[00:25:29] I don't think that's a thing

[00:25:31] I'm not going to go sit

[00:25:33] at urgent care for fucking

[00:25:35] now I belong in fucking Austin

[00:25:37] I'm going to go to sleep so I curl up into the fetal position

[00:25:39] I get a really shitty night's sleep

[00:25:41] which is devastating as a mom when you're like

[00:25:43] oh my god I get to sleep in a hotel room

[00:25:45] and not worry about my baby and then you still sleep

[00:25:47] like fucking dick hole it sucked

[00:25:49] dick hole

[00:25:51] I've never heard that term

[00:25:53] that's worse than asshole

[00:25:55] what I was going for

[00:25:57] I wake up the next morning

[00:25:59] still not feeling super fantastic

[00:26:01] go in, breastfeed him because of course

[00:26:03] he arose at like fucking 4.30

[00:26:05] and Tay was just like god damn it child

[00:26:07] and put Miss Rachel on just to see how long

[00:26:09] we could hold him off before needing me

[00:26:11] yeah that's when I sent you those pictures

[00:26:13] I didn't watch Miss Rachel

[00:26:15] I just want to say and I'll let you go

[00:26:17] but I did get up like three times

[00:26:19] because there was no monitor

[00:26:21] yeah that's all

[00:26:23] full stop

[00:26:25] should have

[00:26:55] riveting the whole country for a week

[00:27:25] so I go in and breastfeed him

[00:27:27] and then we eventually put him down for his first nap

[00:27:29] I laid down with

[00:27:31] like at the same time he napped

[00:27:33] and then when I woke up from that

[00:27:35] after taking a center and I was on the other side of it

[00:27:37] and I was like thank god

[00:27:39] we then went out and had like a nice

[00:27:41] day walked around Austin

[00:27:43] like you know

[00:27:45] it was we salvaged the rest of the trip

[00:27:47] and we were like

[00:27:49] we were like we were like

[00:27:51] we were like we were like

[00:27:53] we salvaged the rest of the trip

[00:27:55] and we flew home

[00:27:57] and it was a day and a half early

[00:27:59] well oh yeah we changed our flight

[00:28:01] and came home early

[00:28:03] because

[00:28:05] look the hotel

[00:28:07] that was a deal breaker

[00:28:09] if we were in like an Airbnb I would have been like

[00:28:11] why would you guys want to leave early

[00:28:13] we're here like I get it

[00:28:15] it's hard traveling we do not have our cushy stuff

[00:28:17] and this monitor and that thing

[00:28:19] but like yeah when your mom

[00:28:21] was suggested that we went home early

[00:28:23] I immediately was like no

[00:28:25] but then I thought about it and was like no

[00:28:27] it is a pain in the ass there

[00:28:29] in that hotel

[00:28:31] I was so done after being that sick

[00:28:33] I was so tired

[00:28:35] and whenever he would like cry and get

[00:28:37] fussy which like he was

[00:28:39] more fussy than normal in the hotel

[00:28:41] like when we were trying to change his diapers and stuff

[00:28:43] like he was just not stoked

[00:28:45] it was like

[00:28:47] a little more different

[00:28:49] it was a little more different fussy than

[00:28:51] the normal one

[00:28:53] so we come home

[00:28:55] he did fine on the flight

[00:28:57] the flights there

[00:28:59] and back were both great

[00:29:01] but they were also short

[00:29:03] and on the way back by the grace

[00:29:05] of God

[00:29:07] there was no one sitting next to us so you and me and him had

[00:29:09] three seats

[00:29:11] which was a game changer

[00:29:13] not going to happen

[00:29:15] but anyways

[00:29:17] and then

[00:29:19] we come home like the day before Easter

[00:29:21] and that night I was like I feel like I'm getting

[00:29:23] stuffed up

[00:29:25] so on Easter morning I go to urgent care

[00:29:27] they were like yeah you have a sinus infection

[00:29:29] I'm like okay cool so they give me antibiotics that are safe to take

[00:29:31] away your breastfeeding

[00:29:33] and was like okay great

[00:29:35] not great

[00:29:37] got to

[00:29:39] four or five days later

[00:29:41] stone has a fever

[00:29:43] he's not feeling good

[00:29:45] take him to the pediatrician

[00:29:47] they're like

[00:29:49] they test for a panel of all these things

[00:29:51] and she calls me she's like yeah you're right

[00:29:53] he's got para flu

[00:29:55] which is a virus that's like a common cold

[00:29:57] but like a shittier version of it

[00:29:59] and

[00:30:01] that's apparently what we all

[00:30:03] ended up having

[00:30:05] me having it some two weeks later

[00:30:07] the same

[00:30:09] 24 hour that I had in Texas

[00:30:11] only

[00:30:13] I love you Tay as a man so it was just

[00:30:15] violent

[00:30:17] violence

[00:30:21] I mean he was dying

[00:30:23] it was so

[00:30:25] so bad guys

[00:30:27] yes that's true and we can talk about it

[00:30:29] when we're

[00:30:31] the fucking exorcist enters our house and it is like

[00:30:33] yeah I don't know what happened

[00:30:35] and I couldn't even keep my head

[00:30:37] up for 24 hours

[00:30:39] I was so sick

[00:30:41] so I had two auditions

[00:30:43] I had a

[00:30:45] colonoscopy scheduled for the next day

[00:30:47] all of it cancelled

[00:30:49] everything so I got up that morning

[00:30:51] loaded stone into the car took

[00:30:53] Junie to school

[00:30:55] dropped her off had to like

[00:30:57] go show our north Hollywood property on the way home

[00:30:59] oh my god I rented like with the baby

[00:31:01] basically do my life

[00:31:03] throw the baby in the mix

[00:31:05] while I laid

[00:31:07] the grace that we have had

[00:31:09] each time when like

[00:31:11] we all had COVID and during this

[00:31:13] was that like everybody came down at that a different time

[00:31:15] universe there was one parent

[00:31:17] that could like fucking get up

[00:31:19] deal with it out but

[00:31:21] course stone has he's still

[00:31:23] yeah it's still working its way through

[00:31:25] he at least didn't have the vomiting although

[00:31:27] there was one projectile vomit moment

[00:31:29] yeah in the in his crib

[00:31:31] shook me to my core and but he was also

[00:31:33] a lot very spit upy

[00:31:35] for leading up to that vomit like

[00:31:37] where I was like this doesn't seem

[00:31:39] right this doesn't seem

[00:31:41] like his normal little boob milk spit up

[00:31:43] like he's been spitting up

[00:31:45] and there was the two days leading up to that big

[00:31:47] vomit and also his body

[00:31:49] is the first time re dealing with something

[00:31:51] like this so he's not able to process

[00:31:53] and plus honestly

[00:31:55] it's better that he has it and he

[00:31:57] just like let his body

[00:31:59] build it and like

[00:32:01] it sucks when the runny nose is a

[00:32:03] pain in our ass and a pain in his ass

[00:32:05] and he can't breathe and he can't eat because

[00:32:07] he can't breathe but it's all

[00:32:09] good

[00:32:11] it's all good it's all good but

[00:32:13] it's all building is in the

[00:32:15] unities and I feel I feel good about it

[00:32:17] yeah look Junie got it we all got it

[00:32:19] it's been a whole the whole house

[00:32:21] which brings us to how we started

[00:32:23] this episode I'm so tired

[00:32:25] well just coming out of that

[00:32:27] look yeah there's a brutal two weeks

[00:32:29] and now every day

[00:32:31] I'm psyching myself up pretending that

[00:32:33] the next trip is just going to be fine

[00:32:35] which is a road trip to San

[00:32:37] Francisco and Santa Cruz for

[00:32:39] my friend's wedding and to see your friends

[00:32:41] and family and then Europe and then

[00:32:43] Portugal but I don't pray I'm just

[00:32:45] but I also don't think

[00:32:47] it was the

[00:32:49] travel no I say I think

[00:32:51] it was the bad decision

[00:32:53] on the hotel that ruined it all

[00:32:55] yeah and it was I mean

[00:32:57] we could do a hotel for a night

[00:32:59] if we are doing hotels in Europe

[00:33:01] yeah if we have to we can do it

[00:33:03] but it's not enjoyable at all

[00:33:05] here is the plan we are going

[00:33:07] to suck it up and not do

[00:33:09] a travel to crib and just take the pack

[00:33:11] and play and get him used to that on the

[00:33:13] next San Francisco Santa Cruz

[00:33:15] trip yep we got that fucking

[00:33:17] slumber pod thing that like

[00:33:19] that goes around it and blacks it out

[00:33:21] let's black it out and then

[00:33:23] he can take that to Portugal and like

[00:33:25] at least he'll have the same sleeping situation

[00:33:27] in every place that we move to

[00:33:29] and just say a prayer for us and that's

[00:33:31] yeah and you know let's go back to

[00:33:33] like look we gotta do these

[00:33:35] trips so he's gotta join us

[00:33:37] we did it we made the best out of it

[00:33:39] we made it through

[00:33:41] and even when we don't make it through

[00:33:43] if we don't get sick he'll still

[00:33:45] figure it out but I legitimately came

[00:33:47] on from that trip and was like I never

[00:33:49] want to leave my house again

[00:33:51] like let me turn in my passport

[00:33:53] I'm fine that's it

[00:33:55] yeah we're done I might hold you

[00:33:57] back to the words no I mean but like

[00:33:59] it was that was how difficult

[00:34:01] the trip was for me and I don't think

[00:34:03] it would have been that difficult if I wouldn't

[00:34:05] have gotten so violently fucking sick for

[00:34:07] well and now and in looking back

[00:34:09] I honestly when I was

[00:34:11] that sick I was thinking about you

[00:34:13] out of that Tesla

[00:34:15] and Jess and the fact that

[00:34:17] I went sat and did an hour interview

[00:34:19] and nobody knew that I was dying

[00:34:21] on the inside yeah no there was a small

[00:34:23] window where I could have potentially

[00:34:25] something like that off you could not

[00:34:27] even sit on the couch

[00:34:29] yeah okay

[00:34:31] all right we are going

[00:34:33] to jump into some of your

[00:34:35] listener questions here we go

[00:34:43] even though you felt something missing

[00:34:45] do you feel chemistry was always

[00:34:47] present or does chemistry

[00:34:49] waiver also I mean

[00:34:51] I'm in a healthy relationship

[00:34:53] I find myself comparing my partner

[00:34:55] to my deceased fiance

[00:34:57] whom I always had chemistry with

[00:34:59] but the relationship was tough

[00:35:01] because he was a recovering addict

[00:35:03] now I struggle feeling anything with

[00:35:05] anyone and my current partner

[00:35:07] is healthy and kind of amazing

[00:35:09] but I'm feeling like there's not

[00:35:11] enough chemistry

[00:35:13] wow

[00:35:15] I'd like to say first sorry for your loss

[00:35:17] that's tough and that's

[00:35:19] gonna probably you know

[00:35:21] there's a lot of unpacking to do there

[00:35:23] my answer would be just to look at

[00:35:25] you and I

[00:35:27] how we've kind of gone

[00:35:29] not in and out of chemistry

[00:35:31] I've always felt chemistry but

[00:35:33] in and out of intimacy

[00:35:35] if you will you know there's times where

[00:35:37] it's just like not happening

[00:35:39] or you're feeling weird

[00:35:41] or I'm feeling weird or whatever and sometimes

[00:35:43] that time is a little bit longer than normal

[00:35:45] I think that's totally okay

[00:35:47] as long as everybody's communicating

[00:35:49] properly and everybody and it's

[00:35:51] mutual so let's just

[00:35:53] start with that I think like

[00:35:55] we have to define chemistry a little bit

[00:35:57] right I would add to that

[00:35:59] and say

[00:36:01] that if you're

[00:36:03] feeling like something is missing

[00:36:05] in your relationship

[00:36:07] that can be a big indication

[00:36:09] of something that you need to go

[00:36:11] do some more work on and heal

[00:36:13] for me when I kept saying

[00:36:15] oh something's missing something's missing

[00:36:17] because I had a very toxic

[00:36:19] definition of

[00:36:21] love for my previous relationships

[00:36:23] and I needed to do a lot

[00:36:25] more work on myself before

[00:36:27] I could feel whole and therefore

[00:36:29] feel whole in a relationship

[00:36:31] so I would say to start looking

[00:36:33] inward to see if there's

[00:36:35] more work to do

[00:36:37] before you're ready

[00:36:39] to be in a relationship or

[00:36:41] so that you can grow in

[00:36:43] that relationship yeah I also like

[00:36:45] to piggyback on that and maybe

[00:36:47] the fact that you're still what was the

[00:36:49] term she used visualizing

[00:36:51] her ex no comparing

[00:36:53] comparing I mean

[00:36:55] there's something there I think that

[00:36:57] there's either

[00:36:59] there might be some more processing

[00:37:01] of that the loss

[00:37:03] there yeah yeah I would agree

[00:37:05] okay what are some non-monetary

[00:37:07] ways you support each other

[00:37:09] well I mean

[00:37:11] for me the amount

[00:37:13] you do around the house

[00:37:15] you are the one that's cooking dinner most of

[00:37:17] the nights while I'm doing

[00:37:19] the bedtime routine with stone

[00:37:21] you also do his shower time

[00:37:23] a lot and the fact that you

[00:37:25] get up with him and do like the morning

[00:37:27] shifts so that I can go back

[00:37:29] to sleep if I hadn't

[00:37:31] slept enough like that's all huge

[00:37:33] to me it's funny because

[00:37:35] mine's gonna really revolve around

[00:37:37] sleep too honestly

[00:37:39] just you

[00:37:41] being the mom that you are

[00:37:43] it makes my

[00:37:45] life very

[00:37:47] pleasurable that's the most

[00:37:49] general way of saying it

[00:37:51] I'll give you an example those nights

[00:37:53] we were talking about it in the episode

[00:37:55] those nights that

[00:37:57] yeah I could get up and do it

[00:37:59] even if he was on formula

[00:38:01] or you know but you're still

[00:38:03] getting up and when you

[00:38:05] realize when you made that realization

[00:38:07] that you're gonna get up no matter what

[00:38:09] and you look to me you're like

[00:38:11] look just stay asleep

[00:38:13] that was a big switch

[00:38:15] and that was a huge thing

[00:38:17] that allowed me to sleep

[00:38:19] and then allowed me to get up in the morning

[00:38:21] and have those shifts and now

[00:38:23] it kind of started to work out very

[00:38:25] well in that regard so kind of

[00:38:27] that yeah yeah

[00:38:29] and then like just really

[00:38:31] on emotional levels

[00:38:33] where like

[00:38:35] it's you know

[00:38:37] being there for the person

[00:38:39] on you know like

[00:38:41] in their love languages so like

[00:38:43] what do you need today

[00:38:45] what can I do to support you

[00:38:47] most of the things I feel

[00:38:49] in a relationship is

[00:38:51] non-monetarian

[00:38:53] yeah and just always checking in

[00:38:55] it's not easy and we have

[00:38:57] a great easy baby

[00:38:59] it's not easy anybody

[00:39:01] going through parenthood

[00:39:03] at those first year

[00:39:05] I mean no matter what so constantly

[00:39:07] checking in constantly

[00:39:09] you know trying to

[00:39:11] help in any way

[00:39:13] yeah favorite trip the two of you have gone on

[00:39:15] together

[00:39:17] oh wow

[00:39:19] I mean mine would be the Italy trip

[00:39:21] like the Europe trip that we took

[00:39:23] it has to be that but like we had

[00:39:25] we've had some good Hawaii

[00:39:27] that's true we have some good Hawaii trip

[00:39:29] some yeah it's got to be Italy

[00:39:31] and more even specifically

[00:39:33] Sorrento but that's more of the town

[00:39:35] yeah

[00:39:37] I often say

[00:39:39] I often say like thank god we did

[00:39:41] that when we did that was it

[00:39:43] it was a good one to go on out with

[00:39:45] because I would have proposed

[00:39:47] we would have eventually

[00:39:49] and we would have eventually gotten

[00:39:51] the ball rolling and had the baby

[00:39:53] but if we didn't get that trip in

[00:39:55] I mean we'll do a lot more epic

[00:39:57] trips but they're gonna look a lot different now

[00:39:59] yeah

[00:40:01] okay what do you like the most

[00:40:03] about the other since

[00:40:05] adding your son to the family

[00:40:07] oh that's easy for me

[00:40:09] I've already answered it like 17 times

[00:40:11] the fact you being a mom watching

[00:40:13] oh I thought you were gonna say my boobs

[00:40:15] what

[00:40:17] I mean

[00:40:19] I was

[00:40:21] you're not a blue guy that's why we're married

[00:40:23] right

[00:40:25] or am I supposed to be honest

[00:40:27] no

[00:40:29] I'm not seeing you

[00:40:31] change

[00:40:33] that's been the most rewarding thing

[00:40:35] I said it to you at the very beginning

[00:40:37] when we were well into

[00:40:39] the back and forth stage of like

[00:40:41] you know

[00:40:43] the ridiculous misadventures

[00:40:45] that you know

[00:40:47] no matter what if you choose him

[00:40:49] if you choose me if you choose neither of us

[00:40:51] you go out with some other guy and find him

[00:40:53] I would love to stay in your life

[00:40:55] to see you be a mom and I fucking knew it

[00:40:57] you were going to change

[00:40:59] like that and you did

[00:41:01] and for the better not that you

[00:41:03] were not a great person before

[00:41:05] but like something motherhood

[00:41:07] brought a certain power out in you

[00:41:09] that I wasn't aware of

[00:41:11] that's very sweet babe thank you

[00:41:13] I would say

[00:41:15] my favorite

[00:41:17] thing is the fact

[00:41:19] that we have not lost

[00:41:21] our laughter

[00:41:23] and our outlook like the way that

[00:41:25] you continuously make me laugh

[00:41:27] even when shit is like

[00:41:29] difficult

[00:41:31] or tough the way that we

[00:41:33] can have fun together and laugh together

[00:41:35] and like how you bring that out in

[00:41:37] me in all

[00:41:39] of us when we're all together like

[00:41:41] the way that you make stone laugh like

[00:41:43] all of that is really

[00:41:45] yeah my favorite things I really realize

[00:41:47] that and in Austin specifically you

[00:41:49] really like oh my god

[00:41:51] hello Gabrielle like big fucking like

[00:41:53] message of the episode god I was almost

[00:41:55] about to be like bye guys okay it's great

[00:41:57] so that first night at dinner my mom

[00:41:59] looked at me and was like when you took

[00:42:01] him on a walk and she was like you need to release control

[00:42:03] like this is all about control for you

[00:42:05] in regards to the baby

[00:42:07] and lo and behold the next day I was

[00:42:09] fucking knocked on my ass for 24 hours and couldn't

[00:42:11] be a mom and the universe was like sit

[00:42:13] down bitch like Tay's got this

[00:42:15] and you need to understand that

[00:42:17] and as bad as I felt for

[00:42:19] you being like alone with the baby

[00:42:21] all day and like having to like do all the things

[00:42:23] and like whatever even though

[00:42:25] you kept trying to tell me like no we had a good time

[00:42:27] it's fine I don't like everything is fine

[00:42:29] I still felt so guilty and so

[00:42:31] bad it made me sit back

[00:42:33] and forced me to realize that

[00:42:35] like I can take a back seat sometimes

[00:42:37] and everything will be fine

[00:42:39] and that was a huge lesson for

[00:42:41] me yeah I would have loved to learn

[00:42:43] it without puking out the side of a Tesla

[00:42:45] but learn the lesson I did

[00:42:47] can you by any chance next time

[00:42:49] that happens

[00:42:51] save it for when you are on the freeway

[00:42:53] and puke out on the freeway

[00:42:55] because it would have like shot back

[00:42:57] onto another car you're so weird

[00:42:59] it's just so dramatic and heavy

[00:43:01] and like oh my god

[00:43:03] and chunks

[00:43:05] okay and on that note we love you guys
