0:05Welcome back to another edition, a special edition, I should say a bonus edition, an unexpected edition of What's Your Story with Trinity and Big Jim. And you guys have something that you might want to announce? Maybe some news that you'd like to give? Should I potentially give a drum roll? Maybe not. Yes, Big Jim has a big message for you.

0:39we need y 'all to proceed with caution because there is a baby on board we pregnant we all the way pregnant yeah yeah you all have to get a big belly oh my goodness we pregnant you want to pick him to say it yes I need to hear you say it I got to get used to saying that. I know, I know. I'm pregnant and I'm having a baby. Yay. Big Jim did his big one. He did. He did not proceed with caution, apparently. No. No. No. Listen, I think for the past, you know, it's been long enough. We've been proceeding. I've been doing a good job proceeding. This is literally out of nowhere. Like the RKO. This is what this is.

1:33And we sold for it. And I'm still processing it, you know. Well, when did you find out? How did you find out? Oh, man. I found out Sunday on the road. A week ago? No. Well, what's today? A week ago. Last Sunday. Last Sunday. That Sunday. Okay. Has it been a week already? Yeah. And how did you find out? in my hotel room um had been feeling a little different a little weird just wanted to take a test to find out to make sure kind of rule that out not thinking because um it's been a long journey with fertility issues that i've had um so yeah i just really didn't think it was possible. Like all this time you didn't think you were going to be able.

2:29No because to understand how we really got here you gotta understand the whole picture. The medical history because I really haven't I've talked about it briefly but I haven't really gone into it so earlier in our relationship probably like before before I debuted as a falcodactyl I had an ophrosectomy which is the removal of my right ovary earlier in my career 2020 we went through another major surgery which was a myel mastectomy and what and what is that that is removal of fibroids i had tons and big ones so from the uterus yeah out the uterus which i remember she had the surgery it's supposed to be like a couple hours and she was in there for six hours man i was sitting there losing my brain i was in there losing it and this was about the time where the pandemic was happening so you know how that was yeah and they didn't say anything and No one's coming out to talk to you in six hours.

3:24It was just us in the hospital. I remember, too, this was during the Thunderdome. My last match was with Sasha and Bailey in a beat the clock match. I didn't tell anybody. I told them what I was going to do, but I was gone for six months after that. Nothing said. I was just gone for six months going through that. Went home. We went through that. And then after that. Did something go wrong in the surgery? Why did it take so long? No, it was just more than they expected. Yeah, it was more intense and severe than they thought it was initially and just the healing. And it also left like a lot of scar tissue.

4:02So that also affected your ability to the ability on top of being older, 37 now and on top of only having one ovary. We thought for sure that naturally it just I couldn't anymore. Right. And and having. You said you had not been proceeding with caution But you've been proceeding Well there was no reason to proceed You need help I was like well Alright then let's have some fun then Let's get on this road

4:35Let's go kick ass in WWE No There was no reason to proceed because You know we have been informed There's no way to know 100 % for sure But we just have been advised you know that would probably be the route you would have to take. Y 'all would need help. You didn't need no damn help. You did not. I mean. Strong. Strong. It is the bloodline. It's 98 of them out there. It's only 67 more coming. I was shocked then. I'm shocked now. so many emotions. I'm happy. I'm excited. I'm nervous. I'm scared. So much has happened in the last week. I found out Sunday, called him, had to go to work. Stressed about having to tell work.

5:28Sure. Because also of where I am right now. And then went home. As the champion. As the champion of all times. Right, right. She ain't going to say this, but she felt like she's let all her fans down. She felt like there was a step back because she is cooking. And, of course, timing's everything. God's timing's everything. This is something that's in front of us now, so we have to pivot and just look at it as an up again. Yeah. The biggest run in your life, girl. It's right. That is right. So, you know, time is everything. And I just want to let her fans know, too, like, man, she loves them. She thought about them, and she thought about them right off the bat, thought about WWE right off the bat.

6:12Like, man, man, I got to, like, you know, because it's a step away now. Because there's something in front of us now. So I just want to throw that out there, man. Y 'all better proceed with caution. Y 'all coming on after her online and stuff like that. Well, hopefully they won't. Hopefully they'll just be supportive. It's a lot, the process. It's a lot. But I'm happy. I'm happy. It's like good tears. It's just a lot. It's a lot. And by the way, your hormones are not steady. I know. And when she knew, she knew. Because I remember she knew. She's like, something's wrong. My body's feeling like it ain't never felt before.

6:47Something new. And then that's when I was like, man. And how far along are you? Seven weeks. Oh, boy. Found out Thursday. Heard the heartbeat. Saw the heartbeat. Yeah. Oh, describe it. Everything that I was stressing and worried about in that moment just went away. And I knew that what is ahead of me, there's nothing more important than that now. So now I'm just, I just want to get through this healthy because I am high risk. And what is your doctor saying? I'm going to have to get checkups more often, but everything looking good. Good. We're good. Start off to a good start. Good. Yeah. Good. Yes.

7:37That's amazing. Yes, it is. It is such a blessing. It is a blessing. It is a blessing. Now, I mean, on the podcast you were talking about seeing Becky and seeing some of these moms out here with their babies. Yeah, but I didn't mean I wasn't trying to do it now. I thought I had a little more time. I mean, you throw it out to the universe. I know. Be careful what you say on still podcast. Especially this podcast. I love your podcast. I love this podcast.

8:13Well, yeah. We're good. We're off to good pregnancy so far. Yeah. And everybody's like, Trent? Trent is? I'm also like one of the last ones in my family to have a baby. So everybody's just been waiting and, you know, wondering when and hoping, you know. Did you tell your dad yet? Not yet. I did. Shouldn't we tell him? Because he gonna tell the world if we tell him. Oh, okay. He started dancing like James Brown. He was jumping up and down. He was screaming. He was so excited. It was so awesome to see him play you to the ring. I'm glad I got that moment. You've had a lot of moments and you're gonna have a lot more.

9:02Yes. You are. I pray so. And then you'll come back even better and even stronger. Yeah. I got to now because, again, it ain't. That's right. It wasn't my choice right now to go. So now I got to. That's right. I hope, you know, this isn't it. It won't be if you don't want it to be. No, I don't. And then you'll be setting the example for either a little boy or a little girl. and you wanted to say you're not wearing blue today for any reason. Matching blue. Throw this on. Whatever you need right now. We should have worn pink to offset them. Purple. And the bling matches the bling. It's all blue. It's all, you know.

9:51You just along with the ride. You started all the trouble. Always start trouble. Yeah. I'm super happy. I'm very happy. And the kids? How did everybody react? Okay, so like we said, we just found out last week. So social media is everywhere. Everyone's speculating, yeah. You know what I'm saying? And my daughter, like, honestly, I'll be honest. I just had a conversation with her an hour ago about this. She got out of school. You know, she just got out of school. I said, I need you. I woke up. I jumped on a flight this morning. Four in the morning, I text. I need you to call me when you get out of school.

10:27We need to talk. and you're not in trouble. Trust me, you're not in trouble. That's all it happened. So she called me right 315 on the dot. She called me and, you know, I FaceTimed her and we talked. And at first she goes, because she's the youngest, you know what I'm saying? She's our trend. I knew her when my son was three. And, you know, they love Trinity. And the first time when Trinity got around my kids, we were young just starting. We're just trying to move and how to quarterback this whole thing. I knew we was in love. I knew that. And, man, when I seen her interact with my children off the bat, I already knew, okay, this can work.

11:06This is fire. And that, to me, I knew she was just – it was in there right off the bat. And when we're here now, my daughter is a senior this year, my son. He'll be a sophomore in college. And she goes, at first – yeah, I didn't even tell her. She's just not finding out. She's like, at first? at first I was looking online and I could see the rumors talking about trans pregnant, trans pregnant. She was like my dad ain't even saying that to me yet so I'm gonna just wait on it. Because you know how online you know how social media be. Like she, you know how it be. And then so I told her, she said, dad when I told her that we're having a baby and I could tell the smile, she was just like I said, you alright?

11:52She goes I'm so happy because I think about Trinity and she goes, she deserves this and I just said, man thank you for, I did not expect to hear that that's the biggest, I needed to hear that today because we've been so heavy, you feel me and like, we didn't even tell our parents yet and people's already speculating and our family, our closest family's looking at us online like, is this true, man? I don't know We were scared to say anything because I didn't Hadn't been to the doctor, we didn't know. So these past week has been a hell. But a blessing, too. After today, after Raw, she's like, I'm ready to get to work.

12:33I'm ready to just let them know so I can just start the journey. I can close one door and kind of, well, this door ain't going to be closed, Mama. Just for the moment. Yeah. We're just going to crack it a little bit. We're just going to leave you right there. Yeah. We'll be back. We'll be back. Don't lock us out. Just don't lock the door. Close it, don't lock it. Privacy, please. You're just putting the sign on the door. Yeah, do not disturb her. And then, you know, we'll start this door. We'll open this door. But she's very supportive, both of them. They're both happy for us. They love you. She said, tell Trent, don't text me.

13:05She better call me. That's what she said. I was like, you better call our baby. How's it going? Let her know everything copacetic, everything good. Yeah. I will. I was most worried about Jayla because Jayla's our baby girl. I always, I hadn't had kids, so I always say, my favorite, how's my favorite daughter? That's my favorite daughter. That's my baby. They are my kids before anything. So it was very important to me that they were happy and okay with it and, you know, prepared to. Babysit. Babysit. Yeah, it is. Yeah, it is. So you got a few on in your back now. I have some experience. You start learning ways how to get out of there.
