I haven't listened to Whitney in a WHILE, and I gotta say, I love this version of Whitney, a funnier, calmer, zingier version, literally the only person who had a kid and became LESS mentally ill ❤

Love Ester just chillin while Whitney comes at her but then absolutely ROASTS her at the end What an unbotherd queen ❤
Our girl Ester is in for quite a rude awakening . . . Whitney you are So very right about doing all the things before baby arrives. I lived on my couch for the first 3 months my daughter was born because my bedroom was on another level of the house. I also put either a baby swing, chair, bassinet , rocker, etc in every room so there was always a safe place to put my daughter and know she can’t escape or hurt herself in those moments of exhaustion, frustration, pure delusion because I might need a moment to myself. Even in the bathroom a kept a little bouncer chair for when I took a shower. Many blessing to both you mommas Xoxo

Unfortunately she is, I listen to trash Tuesday and she does not have the tools or any experiences with anything difficult like most people. It sounds like her partner is pretty capable though so the child will be alright. Just don't know if E will.

@@clevermissfox don’t get me wrong I truly wish her the best, motherhood is an incredible ever evolving experience unlike anything else in life. I just think people who are about to be parents need to really educate themselves on not just children , child birth, kids, priorities, division of labor in the home, parenting styles, but about themselves and how the Handel stress, why they are the way they are, why the do what they do, because all of it comes in to play when raising little humans. And for some reason most people go into it blindly and unfortunately It can really do some damage to everybody in the family unit / household. I have a stand strong opinion that the way to world peace through parenting.

@@AlexxWoodwick I completely agree. If they instituted a "parenting test" before one was allowed to procreate , I don't think I'd be opposed. You need a test to do anything else in this country. It should at least be as difficult as a drivers license test!

Whitney, I love you so much for talking about how you don't just feel so in love with your baby in the beginning and how it's just surviving. My baby is 8 months and I do love her more than anything in this world but that's not exactly how I felt at first. It was hard and I still feel guilty for feeling that way. You are the first person I have come across that has put my actual experience into words and I'm seriously grateful for that ❤

I felt bad because after I had my babies I didn’t cry and get all emotional. When they would place them on my chest I usually just layed there stunned. By the time they took them away to check them over and weigh them I was ready to hold them. We all react differently to it.
Whitney is literally one of my favorite humans currently and she needs to be seen more often!
Esther is so unbothered and i’m totally here for it !!

I have one child, she is the best gift. I had her at 37, loved being pregnant but Dr's made me feel like I was 80. It was anxiety the whole time. All kids are weird no matter what...my girl loves being the only child. She is 10. She is sweet, giving and makes my life so much better. I am the youngest of 4. It was not fun. We fought all the time. We are close now but not when we were kids. My daughter has a cousin same age and they have the greatest relationship ❤️

I can relate to both these women - Whitney’s verbose neuroticism, Esther’s state of relaxed / being paralyzed by overwhelm. Motherhood can be based on whatever your own style is, and you have hundreds of tries to get it right in terms of caring for a baby (diapering, baths, etc etc). Learning this was good for my inner perfectionist. Loved this episode
“Your drowning and someone throws you a baby” is a Jim Gaffigan Joke 😅

yeah and it was about FIVE kids not 2
Whitney calling Esther out for having a secret sister is funny bc Whitney only recently admitted to having a brother and barely speaks of either sibling.
I liked Esther before she started doing that podcast with Annie and Bobby’s ex. I remember listening to the first couple of episodes and they would talk about how ladies need each other, but in the wrong ways. They don’t let Esther be herself, a cute little tomboy who’s not afraid to say her opinion. They molded her into someone else with a bad attitude and rude comments instead of her own intellectual opinions. I’m glad you had her on your podcast and I listened to the whole episode, but I don’t think I can watch her content until she cuts out Bobby’s ex from her life and career. I hope becoming a mom will help her see that.
Watching this podcast is such a roller coaster. One minute I'm laughing my butt off, then the next I'm thinking "that's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard...." Then give it another minute and I'm laughing again.
Ester being excited for her dad to spend all her money in Vegas if she were to die during child birth is pure love 🥹 Best of luck to you and your lil babe, momma monster bear!
Ok so I literally just found Esther she was born this morning in my life... and it was love at first sight annnddd I was fan-girling all day after I saw her special and now I'm into my evening which is 4am and Esther is 8 months pregnant like whattttt 🤯😍 so I'm excused from the whole "where tf have i been" bc I just discovered her this morning ya know, but with Whitney I've been a fan since seeing her on Chelsea Lately and I'm just finding out that she's a Mom and I love her even more which I didn't know was possible so yay. I'm a new mom (still, with my daughter just turned 3) and they both just unlocked a new level of relatable comedic content. And Whitney, you had me at Torn.💜

Check out her podcast trash tuesday and solo podcast my pleasure! Also if you love esther you will love her with Annie Lederman, they're best friends and she brings out so much funny in Esther. If you run out of Esther content watch Esther Club, annie was on it with her a bunch! Congrats on becoming a mom 🥰

Ester u should hire a night nurse for the duration of when u are healing from child birth. They help with caring for the baby, caring for you and they sometimes will cook for u

These two need an unserious mommy podcast after E has the baby.
As a fan of Whitney for years and then being able to meet her through taking photos at the store, I 100% agree with everything Esther says about Whitney just being one of the dopest ever
Esther has her way of amplifying someones energy in an interview
No one told me about gums bleeding either! My gums bled so bad during pregnancy that I developed an abscess and no dentist would help me because I was 30 weeks pregnant. One side of my face swelled up so bad and I had to have emergency oral surgery under anesthesia at the hospital. The pain of the abscess was excruciating, worse than giving birth. I had never even had so much as a cavity before that.

I was in my car listening to this on the way to work and almost had a panic attack bc I don’t have any lotion in here. Thankssss it was hilarious and I’m late.
ESTHER YOURE TALKING ABOUT EMT’s. Paramedic requires tons of college courses. Love you Whitney
Stoked to see Esther here, just now getting familiar with her 🙌🏼
I love Esther. I'll be attending the screening of Drugstore June. Can't wait 👏👏

Confusing EMTs and Paramedics was so unintentionally funny lol.
This is so great. True vulnerable experiences of pregnancy and becoming a mom. Very validating.
I love Whitney! She’s like my cool aunt that I could hear talk for hours. 😂❤
YES, Ester is back! ❤
I totally get it when Esther says about "getting your life back" with one child. It will never be the same but I feel like we can do a bit more when only having to manage one child once they've got to a certain age.
Loooove Whitney’s description of love. Exactly. Love is in the acts of caring for our babies.
Whitney please never stop doing this podcast. Also Esther and Annie are my two favorite guests by a landslide !!! ❤❤ bop

I pick up on the sleepy energy/delay in people's responses when I'm talking to them! I think it's a post pandemic thing + people being online 24/7. Love you Whitney! Love hearing about the baby and your experience as a mom ♥
“Oh you think I wash me face” 🤣🤣💀 she is me I am her
Jim gaffigan has stand up where he says having multiple kids is like drowning and someone hands you another kid.
Calf cramps during pregnancy are electrolyte imbalances Cannot remember if it’s calcium, magnesium or sodium, but something like that
Loved this! Thanks for speaking out about motherhood!💕 Hardest and best job ever!
Really liked this convo.
Im 8 months pregnant and still can’t get over how close to Esther I am in the pregnancy timeline. This makes me feel just apart of a community and like you Esther its nice to hear some humor and positivity when Reddit threads are often where I go for community lol
Intrusive thoughts occur after birth because you now have this new perfect, most beloved treasure, that you are solely in charge of protecting. It’s natural to think of all the scenarios that could occur to harm them❤️
always need more Rick and Esther have a time
Literally giggled and or laughed out loud the whole podcast 😂 of course I follow and adore you both, but as a fellow mom, almost 12 yrs in, I enjoyed y'all's insights into motherhood, but seriously beyond that, you both have just similar thoughts and experiences as myself ( 36) THANK GALS!❤
love y’all roasting each other. it’s great
This was an AMAZING ep
You know how Ester is Whitney! Where is the bar set, lol! I love you both! Good to see you together!!
Omg!!! I watched Alone Together and was obsessed!!! I’m so happy I refound Esther
1:15:44 I don’t lotion regularly, I have lotions just for decoration in my bathroom and bedroom for anyone else to use. You’re not alone Esther ❤
I recently started watching your Podcast. Love Taryn. I confess to being a Mom of an only child. The only child has graduated from HS and college. During my pregnancy I watched a show on TLC before the 90 days. I don’t remember the name of the show but it was about couples during pregnancy all the way up into the actual BIRTH of the baby. I watched every episode to prepare me for the unexpected. After the birth of my only thriving child 😂 I could never watch it again. The show served its purpose. Look into it.
esther’s outfit, the NECKLACE, the glow! 💜🖤💜🖤
54:50 Whitney Cummings telling me to not be a "dumb idiot" was the best part of my morning hahaha I love this ad read. I'm not in Cali, but I'll still think of Morgan & Morgan when I need legal help haha
One thank you Whitney for pointing out and poking fun at every comedians bad pod cast habits . It does get annoying when everyone of them points out the obvious of “ I said this before “ and two I love how cute Esther is and big fan but she totally looks like young mike wheeler from stranger things lol
Yes !!!! I’ve been hoping so much to see her on again !!!! AHHHHHH🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Esther is the best guest w auntie ❤️
I discovered the practice of oiling/massaging my face with a non-clogging oil (apricot kernel) and it is a game changer. It gets rid of blackheads, among other benefits. There are so many fancy weird moisturizers out there, but all you need is a nice oil. Well, plus an under-eye moisturizer, but that's not necessary for everyone.
Happy Valentine's day Whitney ❤
The lighting in this is insane 😂
High stakes heist is soooo real! Thats exactly what it feels like the first 6 months
Esthers attitude is awesome
As an avid Whitney and Esther fan 1:17:52 I do know that you’ve talked about it before and I appreciate the acknowledgement 😅
Rick and Esther had a time.
Love seeing Mom Whitney ❤
I am also someone who has always felt like an only child, despite having siblings.
Love listening to this show
This was such a great interview....with Whitney's detailed advice to Ester's follow up questions to get all the juice. I'm a sucker for details. Esther should consider being a pop culture journalist if she ever needs a break from comedy. Love the big sister, little sister love. ❤
I had a horrific pregnancy, after 9 months of hell, having a newborn feels like a piece of cake because I'm not fighting for my life being trapped in my body. Maybe I had realistic expectations, but you just gotta go with the flow and you learn each other. It takes practice!!!
Two kids is two kids. But three kids is fifteen. That’ll always stick with me lol
Best advice Whitney!! I had all my diapers out and bibs cleaned and when I got home with baby I had everything I needed and didn’t need to do anything besides enjoy baby.
This is the motherhood content I have been wanting!
Yay Esther's here!!
Esther is pregnant?? Congratulations to you both!! 🥺😭🥰❤️❤️
Love the glasses!!
WHITNEY MORE MOM REALNESS. YOU ARE Speaking to my soul. I wish I had someone telling me that those intrusive thoughts were okay. I didn’t have people saying it was bad and shame me but I just deal with it. I have a daughter Whitney, almost 3 and my son Leonard will be two in November. I wanted strong names for my children and that stood out in a way that was unique for the time now. If that makes sense. Have 2 within 15 months is literal war chaos but I wouldn’t have it any other way❤❤
I’m an only child hate it and I’ve always hated it. My dad died, my mom died. Both before I was 30. I’m so fucking lonely in this world. I have 2 children and I’m so incredibly happy they have each other. Not to say they can’t hate tf out of eachother some day lol but idk growing up alone for me personally fucking sucked. I hated being an only child growing up and I still hate that I am now and I feel very alone in the world. I l love watching my kids grow up and even tho they fight sometimes they have a beautiful funny unique bond and I hope if I raise them right they can be there for eacgorher when shit hits the fan when they are older. I think having atleast 2 is best. I have one boy one girl they are a little under 4 years apart I do wish I woulda had them 2 years apart but obviously pregnancy doesnt always just happen when u want it to lol but yeah highly recommend doing what’s best for you, but as an only child who is now parentless I do wish I had a sibling. I also wish my kids had aunts and uncles but since I’m an only child my kids don’t have aunts/ uncles on my side or grandpa or grandma so it really makes the family quite small and lonely but I also know ppl who have huge families and they aren’t close at all so I do know that having more family doesn’t mean you’re all gonna be close knit…but yeah just wanted to drop my opinion :) I also can’t imagine having anymore then 2 kids tho cuz it’s hard to give 2 other humans the proper amount of love and care so when ya start having 3+ I feel like it’s impossible for them to get neglected at least a little emotionally and prob financially too but then those kids who had tons of siblings do grow up super independent cuz they had to be the parent to their younger siblings so I guess that makes for a “strong” person but I’m sure it mentally is taxing to have to grow up so fast/ I could rant for hours about pros and cons jahah.
I was super sick while pregnant with my son, depends on the person really…
EMTs(and firemen) are usually volunteers w little training. Its wild that we dont pay or train them well when our lives depend on them! I never understood why police are paid by taxes, but not these other 2 types of lifesavers🤔
Maaaaaaybe I'll drive 2 hours south to Vegas to your show
I had a miserable pregnancy with my son, sick the entire time. It was so awful. I hated being pregnant. I just have one kid cause of that miserable pregnancy.
lotion sometimes, not all showers but most yea. I don't really like the way lotion feels, I suggest putting oil like a vitamin E oil at the end of shower before drying off. but also lotioning is a easy way to show yourself self love and staying in touch with your body...literally
Esther I did none of this and I have 3 kids one I gave birth to alone in a hospital during the pandemic, no visitors. You got this lady… you both do! ❤
