Jeremy Lewis (0:00)

I feel like people are, I literally sat down yesterday to get my hair cut, and my stylist was like, did you want some whiskey? I was like, at 3.3 in the afternoon. And I was like, is that legal?

Oh my god.

Jeremy Lewis (0:23)

Hi.

Lauren Riihimaki (0:23)

Oh my god, welcome back to the podcast.

Jeremy Lewis (0:25)

Welcome back to Wild Til 9 Stop, drop, roll, roll, the pod.

Lauren Riihimaki (0:27)

I scared the shit out of me.

Jeremy Lewis (0:28)

How's everybody doing today?

Lauren Riihimaki (0:29)

Oh my god, well my heart is my asshole now.

Jeremy Lewis (0:32)

That's where I prefer to be.

Lauren Riihimaki (0:35)

Oh my god.

Jeremy Lewis (0:36)

Good morning.

Lauren Riihimaki (0:37)

Good morning, I have my millennial socks on. I literally sat down and I was like, god damn it, the wide shot's gonna see my millennial socks.

Jeremy Lewis (0:43)

When did that become the millennial sock?

SPEAKER_3 (0:45)

I don't know. I think about a month ago.

Jeremy Lewis (0:47)

Because you bullied me into going back to the millennial sock when we started dating.

Lauren Riihimaki (0:51)

Did I?

Jeremy Lewis (0:52)

Yeah, because I used to wear longer socks.

Lauren Riihimaki (0:53)

Okay, but this is not a Gen Z sock. Jeremy hikes the socks up basically to his knees and he still wears them to pickleball sometimes.

Jeremy Lewis (1:01)

Yeah, I wear the Gen Z sock.

Lauren Riihimaki (1:03)

That's the boomer sock, actually, unfortunately.

Jeremy Lewis (1:06)

A crew?

Lauren Riihimaki (1:07)

A crew, yeah, that's more, I would say, later millennial leaning boomer potentially.

Jeremy Lewis (1:13)

It's like a Gen X.

Lauren Riihimaki (1:14)

It's like the dad sock.

Jeremy Lewis (1:16)

Okay, well I'm a dad. Moose and Diglett.

Lauren Riihimaki (1:18)

Moose and Diglett. Last week we had Alison Cooch on the pod.

Jeremy Lewis (1:21)

And by last week we mean yesterday.

Lauren Riihimaki (1:23)

Which is yesterday, but when you're listening to this, we'll have been last week. And oh my God, what a great episode.

Jeremy Lewis (1:27)

Good hang.

Lauren Riihimaki (1:28)

Such a great guest. We, like, one of my favorite guests, we've had him forever.

Jeremy Lewis (1:31)

I love when, especially when someone's like a little bit outside our existing friend group.

Lauren Riihimaki (1:37)

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Jeremy Lewis (1:37)

It's cause it's so much more fun.

Lauren Riihimaki (1:38)

She has such an interesting life. Yeah. So her husband is in the NFL and they are also new parents. And she also has emetophobia. And so I was, I came in hot with emetophobia questions.

Jeremy Lewis (1:48)

Between emetophobia and your like equally athletic, like world renowned athlete.

Lauren Riihimaki (1:55)

Husbands.

Jeremy Lewis (1:56)

Husbands.

Lauren Riihimaki (1:56)

Yeah. The similarities are crazy.

Jeremy Lewis (1:58)

Do you feel like, and we're both, I think maybe we're both over six four. I don't know if one's taller. It doesn't matter. Was it like a lot of similarities? Do you feel like you had the same?

Lauren Riihimaki (2:06)

Oh, it's crazy.

Jeremy Lewis (2:07)

Yeah.

Lauren Riihimaki (2:08)

It's crazy.

Jeremy Lewis (2:08)

That's how I felt too.

Lauren Riihimaki (2:09)

Yeah. Yeah. No, no. It was, it was crazy. But I know I just had so many questions because I feel like the emetophobia community now online is so much bigger. But like the emetophobia, ex-pregnancy combination is something that I personally am so scared of.

Jeremy Lewis (2:23)

There's for sure a Reddit forum like devoted to that exactly.

Lauren Riihimaki (2:25)

Oh, absolutely. The amount of TikToks I feel like that I've seen are out of this world. I got my first like fertility related beef on Instagram the other day. And by the other day, I mean like 12 hours ago.

Jeremy Lewis (2:37)

Is this what I was like when you were like, hold on, I've got to finish.

Lauren Riihimaki (2:39)

Pause the fucking show. I have something to say right now. We were watching Silicon Valley.

Jeremy Lewis (2:44)

Lauren, why do you? Okay, well, what happened? What did they say?

Lauren Riihimaki (2:48)

I'll read exactly what they said.

Jeremy Lewis (2:50)

Before I ask you what happened, let's just go through it.

Lauren Riihimaki (2:53)

You know what though? I feel as if it's better to just establish my position now on everything. Because also then I just blocked her. And I was like, you know what? You're going to probably be a pain in my ass for the rest of my life, like continuing into this fertility journey if this is your opinion on it now. So I was like, bye bye.
