Okay.
All right, so we got to talk about baby daddy.
First of all, it revolves around the cutest little girl, Emma, and she's played by twins.
Yes.
So I want to know on set out of the guys, who was the most comfortable with her?
I Well, I did pretty good with them.
Well, Derek worked at a daycare for two years.
So he knows like all the little tricks and everything.
I'm the worst.
She's not the worst.
Everyone got along fine with the babies.
Everyone like takes on a different role.
Tash is really good at like teasing him and getting him to laugh and You know, Melissa's the only real parent on the show, so she's she's very She's like she's real maternal.
Yeah, yeah, the minute the baby starts to cry, Melissa's like, "Get out of my way." out.
She's real maternal.
"Get out of my way."
Everyone get out of here.
So, yeah, everyone kind of has a different role.
My role is like, if they ever need to throw up, they can just do it on me, cuz I'm the only one that's ever puked on.
Perfect.
Oh, really?
Oh, yeah.
Without with without fail.
Every time.
I just recently saw photos of you two little hottie poddies in Mexico with with a handful of the cast.
How did that come about?
Um, that was awesome.

I see a lot of the kid.

So Derek and Jahel couple massage.
Got naked, and got massages in the same room.
This is getting a little too close.

Like, "I don't care."
I was not going to give up that massage.
It was the only time it was available.
Exactly, or that you wouldn't pass up the massage.
