This is the TJ Show podcast.

Hi, Jessica.

Hi, TJ.

Today's a special episode.

What I'm going to do is share three stories with you, and every time I start a new story,

you will hear this transition.

You'll know that means, oh, we're starting a new story.

This way, everything can be disconnected, the stories can have nothing to do with each other, and yet they all fit into one podcast.

I'm ready.

Oh, back so soon.

I took Jessica to a fancy dinner.

Beautiful steakhouse, New York City.

It's really wonderful because very rarely at this phase of the game with children,

can we do anything? Even a podcast where it's just the two of us and there's no interruptions.

I've had the conversation with Jess that it's a good thing we don't know what's involved

with children before we have children because if you saw that all

on paper you wouldn't sign it now no offense because we have great kids we love our kids and

of course like i i would choose to have them now you're looking at me very strangely but no but

I'm saying is if someone were able to explain it on paper to the fullest extent,

then I wouldn't have signed it.

But now that I've experienced it, I'm glad that we had kids.

But see, nobody can.
