See, we've been trying to do the whole, "I'm good at English accents, but I can't do an Australian." It's okay. So we don't have baby daddy in Australia. You know, I was saying to the team like, we're so limited on the shows that we bring over. Yeah. We should get all these cool shows. Yeah, I think I think you'll get I think you'll get it soon. I know it's different for each country. I get tweets every every now and then. Actually a lot of them are when it when it starts airing in someone's country, like, "It just started. I'm so excited." Wow. And um, obviously they don't sound like a surfer like I just did. But um, but yeah, so it's cool. Maybe watching baby daddy shows. I don't know. I don't know. Cali life, right? Um, no, but yeah, so hopefully you get it soon though.
Oh yeah, let's see. Yeah. What's like your favorite part of like the show? Like why did you wanna sign onto it?
Honestly, there's so there's a lot of favorite parts that I have. First of all, it's I think one of the coolest aspects about our show is that you don't get to see a a single dad portrayed on television a lot. Um, so that And you get to see a positive you know, a a good role model. You know Ben might not necessarily do the best you know, make the best decisions in the show all the time, but he is buckling down and raising uh you know, his kid. Um and and and taking the responsibility. I love that um it's a family show at its core. Um Tucker's not a part of the Wheeler family. Riley is now because, you know, they're uh her and Danny. But uh they're having a baby and um but you know, it's a big family. And we're like that on the set and off the set.
Look, let's get into a magic trick. Can you shuffle for us, Nicole?
Yes. Bam. All right, let's do this guys. All right. You know, I don't know I don't know too many card games. Give it to me. Card games. I know. I'm just saying cuz I'm shuffling the cards. That's normally when you shuffle cards. What's that? Oh my God. Guys. Um, are the Jokers supposed to be in there as well?

All right, good? You're real close. Good? Yeah. Good. Check it here. Watch my hands. Ready? Don't move. Watch my hands. Ready? One, two. Honestly, if I snap, was this the card? Honestly, be honest.

Yeah, you can. But like what would you do if you hadn't like what's your little in? What's your thing? Because I don't I'm big on wine, so I think wine is important.
All right. So you So you know your wine enough to have a good I I know enough to ask someone else who knows about the wine. Are you? Are you? I know it tastes good. But I don't know I don't know too much about the I know a little bit but too much it's it's too much. Like you don't drink wine to talk about it. Right.
