Hi, everyone. Welcome to Why Mommy Drinks. This is Betsy Stover. Today, I am joined by my guest co-host. You know her and love her. It's Amy Albert.

Hello. Hello. Hi. You look glamorous today. It's a shame that this. Yes. Hello. And also a lovely person. He was our very first male identifying guest ever on the show. I'm so excited to have him back after all this time. He is an actor. He is the co-host of the bald.

The bald talk podcast podcast. It's Brian. Yes. You nailed that. You nailed it. And you wanted to say ball talk. You really do. It's not D just disappears in some people's mouth. Yes.

That was gross. Welcome to the show. Let's talk about testicles. No, it's testy talk. That's cute. Yeah. It's good to be back. I mean, we were just saying before it's like my daughter was younger.

I mean, I think probably maybe what six or something years ago. It's been a while. It's been like five years. No, she was sick. Yeah, so how long does this maybe about six years ago? Seven years ago? What?

No, that came on. It would have been five years, right? Five? Oh, no, maybe five years. And even five. Right? Because the last year, like, went into a fucking hole and was buried.

Oh, the last week slash year, like, has been seven years and then the last two years have been like 10 minutes. I think of us doing this. I think of this show being five years old, but it might be six years old, because the pandemic has, yeah, has just like robbed us of a sense of time.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah, but the difference between who she was then and now, I mean, given how kids choose to age in this sort of like hyper accelerated burst and where they transform into new beings within a week, it's just so different.

It's just concerning. Yeah. It is. It's very, I mean, it's very economic, I guess, you know, and then you just then then you just slam on the brakes around what, 30?

And then it just in a neat, and then you struggle with what that you ended up with for the rest of your life.

All through and very nice. Right? Right?

It also makes me think about my one of my kids who does not want to get older and wants to stay at this age his whole life. And anytime there's talk of getting older or beginning puberty, he's just like,

he doesn't want to, he doesn't want to talk about it. Like I have to, he's nine. So I have three kids. I have a five year old. This is going to be one of my last episodes where I say I have a five year old, a five year old, a nine year old, and an 11 year old.

And the nine year old is on the cusp of puberty. And he has, you know, gotten to the point where I need to show him how to wash his face properly, like a grown, like a, like a teenager.

Right.

And he, and he keeps putting it off. I keep being like, hey, why don't I show you how to do it? Why is your face? And he's like, that's okay. No, we'll do it another time.

Because he, he knows that, that it's like it represents getting older. And he, he said, I want to live here forever with you. And I never want to get older.

And like, he gets up to that one. I have to get him like bigger clothes or if I have to get rid of baby stuff.

Because he's just, he doesn't like the passage of time. He's a man. He wants to hoard time even. Yeah.

I always do this thing with Bo, my daughter, where, like, she's getting, she's just like maturing so quickly. And I'll do this, like, oh, and I'll fake crime. I'll go, next thing you're going to go to college.

And last night she goes, mommy, I'm never going to call it. I'm going to stay here. And I was like, I'm so well.

I mean, I don't require it. Okay, maybe.
