Maybe theres you didnt think this through, did you . I did not think about not washing all over your body. She said she uses water twice a week and rinses off. What did they do before there was shampoo. The point then was everyone stunk. You see . Cave man times before all these things, hoda, everyone smelled like everyone else.

The question was left to us, do we get married and have a kid . I started the journey of asking everyone i could see, my friends my poke buddies. Experts, asking them, why did you want to be a father . What is so great about it . And in the middle of all that, we got pregnant. Oh, my gosh. Hello surprise how are you . What was your initial reaction, by the way, welcome. Thank you very much. And what was your initial reaction . My initial reaction, believe it or not to that is captured on camera. Which you see a bit of in the series. We were shooting this and my dog of 16 years started to die. And the day we put her down we found out we were pregnant. And we were shooting all this rather insanely. Wow, wow. So you had a double whammy, your pain and agony from losing a beloved pet and the joy, maybe. You dont know until that moment how you are going to really feel and it was a big joy reaction. You know, but im i want to be clear, its not a reality series about you . Its not, and its about fatherhood and talking to people about it and peppered with our life. You were babies was born very prematurely . 30 weeks . Yes, ten weeks early. 2. 5 ounces. Wow. Wow. There he is. He is in a fight for his little life when you barely met him. He was he was okay. He was seven weeks there in the nicu, you see him there, for me, it i had a lot of selfish concern cans. Even in the pregnancy like how is it going change my life. And when you are faced with what if he is not okay. That put it all in context. Im just grateful he is already. What lessons do you learn about the other dads. Kevin bacon had some of the best advice. Before we were i cant believe we were pregnant or not. It was early in the process. And he said, the phases will drive you up a wall. Remember whatever phase the kid is in, whether you love it or hate it. It will pass. They dont tell you that. You know, he is not going to be like this forever. No, he will take a break and come back as a teen. And go through another one. Its true. So this is a new hank azaria. Theres debate in my family. You are so pretentious. This is out right now on aol, right . Yes. And when you have your second child, you can do it from katys perspective. If she wants. She has been sweet putting up with cameras.
