SPEAKER_1 (0:04)

The Joe Rogan Experience.

Bridget Phetasy (0:13)

I'm back.

Joe Rogan (0:14)

What's happening?

Bridget Phetasy (0:15)

I had a baby.

SPEAKER_5 (0:16)

You had a fucking human.

Joe Rogan (0:17)

You made a human in your body.

What does it feel like pre-making a human, just living a normal life, being a human, to actually, what does that transition feel like? A man will never know, contrary to Twitter.

Bridget Phetasy (0:34)

You can burn your 500 calories by breastfeeding, Joe. That's what I learned.

Joe Rogan (0:40)

I mean, I do.

Bridget Phetasy (0:41)

Do you pump or you, yeah? I'm breastfeeding. No, no, I'm still breastfeeding. That's why she's here in Austin with me.

Joe Rogan (0:46)

Do you ever pump too, though? Do you pump as well?

Bridget Phetasy (0:48)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:49)

The pump is wild.

Bridget Phetasy (0:50)

The pump is wild.

Joe Rogan (0:51)

My wife used to sit in front of the TV, watching TV with like a cup in each hand.

Bridget Phetasy (0:57)

They've probably come a long way since then. Yeah, you can wear them and just go out now.

Joe Rogan (1:03)

And it just makes them?

Bridget Phetasy (1:04)

They have little cups, it's crazy.

Yeah, the one I have is, I think it's called an EV, and you can just, it's like, to go, all this stuff for women is like- Do they have a trough under there that catches it?

SPEAKER_6 (1:16)

They're like little, they're like, they're really cool.

Bridget Phetasy (1:20)

And you can just be on the go, so you're not chained to the pump like you used to be.

Joe Rogan (1:25)

Can you hit a pause button?

Bridget Phetasy (1:26)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:27)

And you unscrew it and put it in a freezer bag?

Bridget Phetasy (1:29)

Yeah, yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:30)

Wow.

Bridget Phetasy (1:30)

Yeah, they're advanced now. I mean, oh God, I've eaten so much humble pie, I think, since I became a mom. Because you have that, everyone's like, you'll understand when you're a parent, you'll understand when you have kids, and you're like, ah, shut up. Because when you don't, you can't know until you know.

Joe Rogan (1:48)

You can't know, you can't know.

Bridget Phetasy (1:49)

You can't know, that's why, it's just, I think it's radicalized me too more, in many respects. Like, the stuff around kids in our culture right now, I'm like a one single issue person now. I'm like, these kids can't know what they're doing.

Joe Rogan (2:07)

You can't influence them that way.

Bridget Phetasy (2:09)

No, and it's like, it's not informed consent because you can't know until you know. Especially about having a kid. You can't know what it's like to breastfeed until you breastfeed.

I'm sorry.

Joe Rogan (2:20)

You can only guess.

Bridget Phetasy (2:21)

You can guess, and I'm sure someday they'll be able to simulate it and have like, but it's so, I mean, the whole pregnancy was, I had a lot of anxiety. I think it was, I just was so worried about this little human. And I think as a woman, you carry that mostly yourself until the baby comes out. And then if you have a partner, you're sharing some of that like, oh, I hope they don't die with your partner.

And it was just like, I would get, I used to, I've been on this podcast and said I hate Instagram. Like, I don't even know how many times. I became like Instagram addict in pregnancy because at late at night, the like wholesome third trimester content, I was like, this is what I'm here for. It's so relatable.

Joe Rogan (3:09)

What's wholesome trimester?

Bridget Phetasy (3:10)

Third trimester content? Like, there's so much pregnancy content on Instagram because it's just an alter to all things basic. And it is, and when you're pregnant, you're like, yes, that's exactly how I feel. I can't see my vagina.

Joe Rogan (3:26)

The algorithm finds you because you look for it.

Bridget Phetasy (3:29)

Yeah. And I fell in love with Instagram and now I'm all on board.

Joe Rogan (3:34)

Do you do TikTok?

Bridget Phetasy (3:35)

No, I won't even put it on my phone.

Joe Rogan (3:37)

Good for you.

Bridget Phetasy (3:38)

It's Chinese spyware.

Joe Rogan (3:39)

It's Chinese spyware.

Bridget Phetasy (3:40)

Why are we letting people put this on their phones?

Joe Rogan (3:44)

It should be banned.

SPEAKER_8 (3:45)

I'm with Trump.

Joe Rogan (3:47)

Yeah, but I'm saying this because I talk to security experts. It's fucking dangerous. Did you see the thing where, what is it called, ByteDance, the parent company, was specifically looking to use TikTok to target the location of specific American citizens, including probably Chinese dissidents or people that have left.
