This was really nice to see Cleeter. It's cool to hear from Maddie since she's such an important part of your life. I know you try to keep her out of the spotlight so she can have some privacy in your lives, but this is one of those parts of life that it's fun to share when you can. You guys are gonna make some great parents.

Maddie is absolutely GLOWING. She really suits being pregnant. And Cleet I know you’re gonna be a great father. And maddie you’re going to be an absolute diamond of a mother.

Dad life... there is NOTHING BETTER! I remember when my son was born the excitement of coming home from work and holding him was overwhelming. I changed his diaper more than his mom. It was wild, in my mind, no one could do as good of a job then me and loved the feeling of taking care of him, holding him and feeding him. When we went out I would push him in his stroller or shopping cart. Even now, he's 8yo and he sits next to me when we eat out. We even watch your channel together and other youtubers you have had at the Freedom Factory. We also work on car and truck projects together. I love teaching him to work on cars, weld, tune etc... we also have land where he gets to raise chickens, goats and other animals. It's bitter sweet as they grow up. Around 1 yo the walk, before you know it they start talking, then having full conversations, then telling jokes and calling you out etc... and they REMEMBER EVERYTHING!! so don't say you will do something and forget, because they WONT. LOL... Then you see their personality. It's AMAZING you to will love it. Like you said Cleetus, teach him to earn what he gets. make a man out of him, not a snowflake. The world has WAY to many snowflakes.

I love this...the love and affection between you two is precious! Looking forward to seeing him conquer your hearts.

I remember when my little girl was on the way. Scariest moment of my life when we found out my wife was pregnant. We'd been trying for many years. Shes my little sidekick in almost everything I do. Her favorite picture is with you Garrett from Rocky Mountain Raceweek in Noble,OK. You straight side stepped a group of adults to take a picture with her. You've already got the instinct for raising kids. Love seeing you both so happy and Madi glowing like she is.

What a fun interview. Met Maddie, Garrett, his parents, and brother at C & C Houston. They're such cool and good people- exactly as we see them in the vids. Couldn't be happier for the new baby and subsequent kiddo's. Enjoy your time with them when they're little- it goes by so fast! You'll figure it all out as you go, and you have your family's nearby to help.

You indirectly helped me through the labor of my first born. I labored at home for a while as i was induced the day before because I was a week overdue. It was during rocky mountain race week 2019 so you had been uploading daily content, I remember watching your videos while at home with my husband before heading to the hospital. Coincidently we named our son Garrett! (We didn't know your name was Garrett until after the fact). Madi will do great during labor and delivery, hopefully your little guy don't keep you waiting like ours did. Do you have any names picked out or is it a secret??

This was a super cool segment. Keep them coming.

It was really great seeing Mr and Mrs Giraffe in their natural habitat! I really enjoyed hearing you talk about normal stuff and especially how having the baby will impact the "job" on the main channel. You guys will do a great job as parents, you have a world of friends who can lend their experiences and knowledge.

I really enjoy seeing you two interact, there's A LOT of love there. You two together make me happy.

Don’t really have a question for you guys, just want to say I am 45 been following you since the beginning and now my mother who is 76 with health issues and lives with me just enjoys the content so much, it’s become a thing. So I’m rewatching a lot of old videos so my mom can see the journey you have been on. Much love from Philadelphia, thank you for sharing your life and dreams with us. It’s an inspirational story for us car Guys & gals, but more importantly on a human level! Just love the fur babies also! Bless you both and hoping for a happy and healthy clutch kicker!!

That was a really cool interview. As w long-time viewer of the channel, I know Cleetus really well, Madi not so much. I liked the relaxed informal setting on this video, I think I got to know Madi much better. She's going to be a great mom!

I was excited when I found out we were having a baby. Even more when it was a girl. Reality kicked in the day of. Sitting in the hospital room is when it finally hit me as becoming a father. Never looked back. Best thing ever.

Little man is going to have the coolest dad ever!!! My son is the best thing that's ever happened to me you guys are gonna have so much fun congrats!!

This is awesome and the video hasn't even started yet. Glad to see Dada Garrett and Mama Maddie have an awesome little Ripper. Best of wishes to both you guys and the future little Ripper

That was interesting and I’ve always wondered how busy y’all or the other channel actually is. Good vid

First off congratulations! Second, I have 2 daughters that are 18 months apart and it's so cool seeing how they are going to be best friends! They play so well together! Just my thoughts for ya!

Please more of this! I think more on the "what parenting style will you have?" question would be cool. To be honest seeing a younger dude with a mindset like yours is rare and I think a lot of guys need to hear what you have to say about raising your kid. You didn't say "Oh yeah I want him to have everything and life easy" You want him to work for what he gets and learn those hard lessons that most parents don't want to teach anymore

We had 3 children back to back to back!!! They turned out great and they are all friends with each other!! Worked out great for us!! Congratulations and enjoy with while they are young they grow up fast!!!

Mowing and edging was a big part of my growing up as well. It was pretty much understood that was my weekly responsibility. That and washing/cleaning the family car. It's great to hear you say that, because I really feel its a key part of instilling a healthy work ethic and sense of responsibly and accomplishment. Too many kids today don't have that, because they don't have regular responsibilities at home. I've seen it first hand. Really love and respect that you are sharing these thoughts with us. Thank You both.

Congrats to you both! I dont have any children personally, but see what a joy they are to those around me. You'll do great!

This was so awesome to see and hear how it's all going. Maddie is absolutely glowing, and I know you both will make amazing parents.

That little boy is going to have an awesome time growing up with y’all as parents. You guys rock

No lie, new baby smell is amazing! Also, pro tip. Take a small clip on desk lamp when you go to the hospital. Even the dim lights are really bright in the recovery room, so the lamp makes it easy during the nighttime feedings to not get blinded.

“I gotta give myself credit” 😂😂😂 Congratulations Cleetus And Maddie!!!!!

Madi looks beautiful and glowing. Congratulations 👏

Love the video and the genuine people you guys are. Always a fan for many years and love anything that’s put out no matter if it’s interviews, racing, science, or updates. Question that I have is, what are thoughts on names?

2 things, any potential names that you've thought of? 2nd thing, after the baby arrives be sure to make time for each other. Having a healthy marriage and still making time for each other is just as important as being parents. You both will make great parents and that little boy has a bright future ahead of him. Cheers!

You guys will make awesome parents. There's no greater feeling then when your baby is born. I'm happy for yall and much love to u and ur family. It will be awesome

Man do I love this wholesome stuff… would love a tour of the little guys room!

At the stage you guys are in, waiting for the due date, I would definitely be more scared if I was the pregnant mother because there's a person growing inside you and they are gonna come out, OMG that's scary!
