Marriage Checkpoint: Are We Falling Behind?

**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.
