TikTok's "Steak Girl" : Engaged w/ a baby ft Kaydee Church
101m 39s
This transcription combines two segments: a Toyota advertisement and a podcast interview. The Toyota ad features "Jan on the Street" asking people how they extend summer with their vehicles, promoting the National Sales Event with special financing on the 2026 Tundra.
The main content is an "Unplanned" podcast episode featuring Katie Church, a TikTok influencer known as "Steak Girl," and her fiancé Tyson. Katie gained millions of followers by posting videos of herself eating steak, which started accidentally when she ranted about a coworker refusing steak during pregnancy. She initially kept her channel secret under the fake name "Stephanie," blocking friends and family until hitting 10,000 followers.
Katie and Tyson met while working at a restaurant, where Tyson became friends with Katie's brother, causing initial family friction when they started dating. At age 20, Katie discovered she was unexpectedly pregnant, which terrified her due to fears of judgment about having a baby before marriage. Her grandmother was the first to find out, and the family was ultimately supportive. Their daughter Maple was born at 8 pounds but spent time in the NICU due to breathing issues, a harrowing experience for the young parents.
The interview also covers a $12,000 scam where Katie lost TikTok creator fund money, their upcoming Hawaii elopement, their co-sleeping arrangement, and their DIY craft projects. Throughout, Katie emphasizes that online support outweighed criticism, though she faced comments like "a baby having a baby."
Jan on the street. Hi, it's Jan from Toyota. Summer's not over at the national sales event.
So I'm taking to the streets to see how people are keeping summer fun going with a new Toyota.
Excuse me, sir. How are you making summer last longer with your Toyota?
Oh, going mudding in my tundra.
Everybody loves a mud bath. Mom with the twins. Your turn.
Starting a true crime podcast in my Grand Highlander while the kids are at day camp.
Oh, I know the one. It's juicy. Man with the ball. And you?
Driving my BZ to the park to play kickball with friends.

See you next time. Jan on the street.

Did that weird your brother out when you guys started dating?
Oh, my brother was furious.
Didn't talk to me. Didn't talk to him.
No way. How long did that last?
It's like still going on.
You probably know Katie Church as the state girl from TikTok, where her videos have earned her millions of followers.
She was secretive. She's like, I'm posting videos, but you can't watch them.
What were you thinking there?
I was like, um. Behind the viral videos, Katie was navigating an unexpected. pregnancy at just 20 years old, getting engaged and becoming a first-time parent with millions of people watching.
I just didn't feel ready at that time.
Like, being a mom is something I've always dreamt of.
I also didn't want the child to be the reason we get married.
Katie, along with her fiancé Tyson, talked with us about the judgment they faced for having a baby before marriage,
their daughter's terrifying trip to the NICU, losing $12,000 to a scam,
and the cost of going viral, all on today's episode.
Katie and Tyson, welcome to. "Unplanned."
- Yay! - Thank you, I'm excited for this one.
- Me too. - Yes.
You're on the carnivore diet, right? Like, that's all you eat, is steak?
- No. - What?
- No, I believe that. - So you eat other stuff other than steak?
- Yeah. - Really? Okay.
Were you ever on a carnivore diet?
I was, for a little bit, and that's when I even, like, started.
- So that's why it all started, with the steak videos? - Yeah.
So all you ate for breakfast, lunch, and dinner was steak?
No, just, like, meats.
- Okay. - Like, I would eat, like, eggs and bacon and steak.
It got. I'm telling you, it didn't last long.
It was for, like. - Maybe three weeks. - It was more than a month.
- Maybe more than a month. - Okay, okay.
- But, yeah. - You did it, too?
- I tried, and I. - You tried for a day.
- I got sick. -
- Why did you get sick? - I. Well, 'cause. - You'll feel sick at first, when you start, like, the first couple days. - I was going to work, and, like, if you don't eat carbs. Like, basically, carnivore, you're training your body to, like, burn fat for calories.
- Okay. - But we're used to, like, burning sugars and carbs.
- Ah. - And so I just felt like I was gonna pass out and die.
So I, like, ordered a bowl of rice and just ate it.
And then. She kept going for weeks and weeks and weeks, and I would, like. I was tempting her every day. I was like, "Please eat this avocado."
- Yeah, he would put something in front of me every day that I loved. - I was like, "Please eat the guacamole."
- Like, he was like, "Please eat this." But, like, it wasn't. - Is it, like, kind of. I don't know. I just, like, I wanted to go out to dinner with her, and she's just, like, so strict.
But I knew it wasn't something that I wanted to do for a long time.
- Yeah. - Like, I was just trying to deal with, like, skin issues I was going through.
- Ah. - And I had tried so many different things, and then, finally, that was, like, one of the last things I was like, "Okay, I'll do that." Like. I just struggled with really bad acne after I graduated high school, and once I started it, I think all my acne was gone in, like, two weeks after I did that.
- Your skin is beautiful. - Oh, thank you.
- What. - I don't do it anymore, but, like, I tried to treat it outside for a long time, and then, finally, like, I was like, "Okay, I'll treat it from the inside."
And then, that was, like, my last thing. I was like, "Okay, I'll try this and see if it worked."
And then, it worked for me. I know it doesn't work for a lot of people, but, I mean, I felt way better about myself.
And then, I started posting videos.
- All at the same time? - Yeah. Pretty much all at the same time.
- Okay, correct me if I'm wrong, but, Tyson, you grew up as a vegan, right?
Kind of? - For, like, half my life.
- You were a vegan for half your life. So, how do you go from being a vegan to then being married to the state girl?
- Well, I. Like, my family was vegan, 'cause my dad had some health problems.
- Okay. - So, that's, like, what started it with my mom cooking that way. But even, like, when. They were doing that, like, I would go to school and, like, I was trying to get, like, anything I could.
- Yeah. - So, I was never, like, fully doing it, like, my family.
- You're like, "God, I need you to do this." - But when I was at home, I was.
- Okay. - So, it's great. It's great. I love, you know, eating meat.
- I was scared to eat with his parents, like, or just with his family at first.
- Yeah, they're. - Oh, 'cause they're still eating vegan.
- Yeah. Yeah.
- And you were like, "What am I gonna do?" Well, I was just the only one at the table
ordering a steak, you know, which is fine. Like, they're the nicest people.
- How old are you guys, by the way? 'Cause I feel like people probably ask that a lot.
- Yeah. - 'Cause, you know, you got. You guys are, like, a young couple, fresh on the scene on social media.
- I was telling them before this, when I saw a video where you brought out Maple,
I was like, "No way." - I know.
- She has a baby. You probably get that, a lot of people, in public.
- Yeah. Well, some people, like, will think she's not even my baby. Yeah.
- For sure. They definitely think you're the nanny. - I know. They do. But, no, she. She's mine. I'm 21. - I'm 26. Nice.
- Yeah. So, there's a bit of an age gap.
- How did you guys meet? Like, what's your origin story?
- At work. - At work? Yeah.
- You worked at a restaurant, right? - Yeah.
- Yeah. - Where. Okay. So, we actually live in the same area.
- Yeah. Have you heard of Blue 32? - Would you say you live in a. - Blue 32. - Blue 32 Sports Grill?
- I feel like I have heard of that. - Bar and Grill.
- There's four locations. - Have you?
- Yeah. I think they have one. There's one in Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler.
I think there's two in Gilbert. - For anybody listening, we live
20 minutes away from each other. - Yeah. We didn't know.
- We didn't know. We reached out to Katie, and then she's like,
"Oh, I literally live right by you guys." - Oh, yes. Yeah.
- That's so cool. - Yeah.
- So, you guys met at a restaurant, and then were you guys just, like,
service together? Or, like, how did that all come about?
- Not at first. - Okay.
- Do you want me to tell it? I can tell it if you want me to.
- I'll start it. So, I had broke my foot. - Okay.
- And I lost my job because of that. So, I went, like, two months without working.
- Oh, gosh. - While I was just, like, healing.
- Yeah. - And then I always wanted to be a bartender.
- Okay. - I just thought it would be fun.
- Yeah. - So, I was trying to find a place
where I could do that. And I went and applied there, got the job.
- And I was there when he applied. - Yeah, she was.
- I was the host. - Nice.
- She was a host. But, yeah, we didn't really start talking at all for, like. I worked there for, like, a year. - We didn't really talk.
Like, he was in a relationship, so we were just coworkers.
- Okay.
- And then he became really close with my brother, and he was, like, my brother's friend.
So, I'd see him hanging around my brother, like, he would come to our house sometimes.
- Did that weird your brother out when you guys started dating?
Was he like, "This is not cool." - Oh, my brother was furious.
- No way. Really? - He, like. - I wouldn't say it weirded him out. - He, like, didn't talk to me, didn't talk to him.
- No way. - He was not happy. No.
- How long did that last? - It's, like, still going on.
- No, it's still going on.
- Well, he, like, kind of loosened up a little bit when Maple came. - The first year, the first. - Okay. - So, he's like. - He's like, "There's a baby in the equation now." - Okay.
- Yeah. - The first year was bad, though.
- Yeah. There's no communication. - Really?
- You guys just, like, Thanksgiving. - With him, there was, but it wasn't the same.
And then with them, not at all.
- What happened at Thanksgiving? - Did you guys ever, like. - Yeah, what happened at Thanksgiving? - Oh, he walked in and James walked out.
Like, same thing with Christmas.
- Was it just one of those classic things of, "You don't date my sister?"
- Yeah. There was no bad blood, no vendetta whatsoever. He just. - He's a protective, like. - He's very protective. I love him.
- Like, he's the best big brother. - I still like him. It's just awkward.
- Okay. - Like, when you're friends with someone,
like, if it goes, you know, like, a big gap, like, of not talking to them,
you just kind of don't know what to talk about anymore.
So, it's not like there's, like, there's nothing wrong.
It's just we don't really talk.
- Yeah. And in a way, it felt like for him, like, they had a close friendship.
But for him, he was like, "So, were you only friends with me because of her?"
Like, that's how he kind of saw it. - Oh, okay.
- And she doesn't see it that way anymore, but. - And people think that
you guys live on some sort of compound with your family.
- Yeah. - Like, tell me about that.
- What's the belief online? - It's not true.
- And what's actually true? - No. No, we live in our own house.
We moved out. We live together. It's just our daughter and we have our own property.
- Okay. - But, like, when I started making videos,
- I lived in my parents' backyard. - Okay.
And I kind of lived with my sister.
There's, like, different apartments in my parents' backyard.
So, I lived in one. My sister lived in the one below me.
- My brother lives in the other one. - Okay.
Like, we kind of moved out of the house and just all moved to the backyard.
- That's so cool. - That's a dream.
- Right? - I want to do that with our kids.
- No, it was fun. - Can't let them get too far.
- Yeah. No, my dad loves it. He did not want me to move out.
Like, he was my realtor, and I swear he would, like, push it off.
- He was your realtor? - I'm like, "Are you gonna find me a house?"
Like, yeah. But, no. Like, we live back there,
and people think I still live there because I'll go record my videos there.
- Okay. - But I'll just drive 10 minutes there
and bring my steak and eat there just because. - Ah, okay.
I don't know. I like how it looks back there, so. - That's funny. - Did you ever think
that the steak videos were going to turn into what they turned into?
- No. No. - What's, like, the. Tell me about how it started.
Like, why did you even record yourself eating the steak?
- I. Well, I was really embarrassed of starting a channel in the first place,
even though I knew that was really what I wanted to do.
But I started a TikTok channel, and I didn't want anybody to know,
so I blocked everybody that I knew. I put it under a fake name.
And that's why sometimes people will still call me Stephanie because it's my name.
My real name on TikTok was Stephanie, and I didn't change it until I hit, like, a million followers.
And then I finally changed it to my real name. - You're kidding me.
going under stephanie for a really long time and that name doesn't like i mean my aunt's name is
stephanie but it's just a random name that i that i put on there and then i just made videos every
day like i saw something that would say if you make videos every day you'll never have to worry
about money anymore i don't know it was just some random like inspirational video and i was like on
it so i told him too i blocked him too i wasn't i didn't know what she was doing yeah and i told
him i was like i'm gonna start making videos every day she was secretive she's like i'm posting
videos but you can't watch them and i was like okay yeah and i told her i was like what were
you thinking i was like uh i'm posting inner videos to the internet yeah but you can't know
anything about it yeah i definitely would it's for money i would not have guessed you know
mistake secret steak yeah so we made a deal we made a deal yeah and the deal was
i would unblock him if i hit 10 000 followers like i was like if one day if i hit 10 000
followers then i'll unblock you which i don't even know why it's just something that i made up but
and he and he was all for it like he i told him i had to post every videos every day he's like yeah
go for it it was the same week at least so she hit 10 000 yeah and then a couple days later i was
like i unblocked you um you can watch them but it was it didn't start with steak videos it was just
talking like i was okay i'd pull out my phone and talk randomly nice um and then one of the times
where i pulled out my phone and talked randomly there was a steak in front of me because i was
eating it okay like it wasn't intentional yeah like i was just here with my steak yeah like i
just had something to say and there was a steak in front of me um and then i saw that that worked
so i continued to do that every day i don't do it every day anymore what when was this this is like
two years ago almost two years ago okay can we talk about your tiktok
okay we're back you guys are freaking audio equipment stopped recording so now we're back
but katie just casually mentioned that her tiktok got hacked and we got to know what happened uh we
were out of town we were in like florida at the moment and i had gotten some random email that
someone had logged in in like the middle of nowhere i don't even remember no i don't think
that's how it started like wasn't it you got an email about becoming verified yes i really want
to be verified on tiktok katie gets so excited
like she's just always like oh like you know reading comments and anything that she can like
she wants to look at and it was blowing up pretty quickly around this point like we what we just you
had just hit a million yeah so like and we were doing like our first collabs ever like meeting
people yeah and so i'm like laying there watching a movie and she's on her phone and yeah yeah well
i was freaking out so excited because i got an email saying you're qualified to get verified
on tiktok you know the blue it was a scam it was a scam no that's so sad have you seen it though
i'm sure uh we've abby's been scammed before one time if someone wants to scam me i'm really good
target she just you know as you know abby just launched her mascara company but like five years
ago she thought she wanted to do a clothing boutique and we were like filing all the
necessarily business filings yeah and she got scammed by giving like all of her personal
information to a google doc she put it into a
google form yeah gosh dang it did you just put all your details into a google form i think it
was a google form i really think it was like a questionnaire kind of thing i'm like giving
all my information it was like asking for my tiktok username and password and i don't know
why that didn't like raise a red flag for me i was like typing it all in so much for this
opportunity yeah i'm about to get verified did they change your password on you
no so no they didn't she shows me she's like look look what happened and i'm like
like this isn't real i'm like what did you fill this out and she's like yeah i was like
what so i go on her tiktok like right away and i change her password as fast as i can i change
all the information on her tiktok and i was like okay you're good i was like don't fill out
anything without showing me please oh you caught it in time kind of kind of we retained the account
a month later she calls me bawling and i felt horrible because i felt like i had fixed the
situation i did change her passwords on everything but i did not change the paypal information
connected so we did lose it was like twelve thousand dollars no they just took all that
money out from the creator fund yeah well you get paypaled every month like on the creator fund so
30 days like when i checked the email it was like some random you
it was like 30 days like when i checked the email it was like some random you
paypal account i was like oh that email just got all the money
no when i tried filing claims there's nothing paypal can do about that kind of situation like
if money was sent they can't just send you that money or take that money from somebody
like there was nothing now it's all okay like the important thing is we kept the account yeah
like i was just so happy i still i think it was like africa or something like it showed the
location gosh it's probably just a hacker you know just making a fake
ip or whatever but yeah it was pretty at the like it was it was devastating well that was like i had
just started to like any money was just insane to me like yeah i i don't know i was serving tables
trying to just save up to eventually you know like get a place of my own which i had an amazing
situation but i don't know it was just i didn't realize you could make that much money well you're
basically yeah i think some people don't know that though like about serving is that like your
hourly is literally like for us it was like 325 yeah and then wait you guys served we had a pizza
restaurant together we were dating when we worked at a restaurant together but we we worked at a
steak place together yeah and then a pizza place oh my god i was a bus boy i was the busser and
abby was the cocktail waitress and then our our lucky boss got thrown into he got thrown into jail
i think like stealing money from people and maybe like wait wait back up yeah our it was really bad
it was a bad restaurant so we i'm glad but that was after we got fired from the job because we
had to go home he did steal some money from us as well yeah oh wow yeah like your tips yeah you
couldn't leave we should have known this as a red flag you couldn't leave with you couldn't leave
with your tips you had to turn it all in and then you'd come back and collect them later yeah
oh wow i don't think that is a normal policy based off of what i've heard yeah we got to
leave same day with whatever we made is your money yeah yeah that makes sense yeah no it was
a great restaurant i had the managers and the owners like weren't even a part of it like really
i feel like i managed more than the managers like i was i was there six nights a week like i i don't

Okay, so I was working 12 hours. I was working a double that day, 10 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Okay. Just a normal day. Like, we worked together. So even, like, usually when I was working a double,
I would still see her, you know, because she'd come in, like, for the second part of the shift.
But I was just working all day, and she wasn't at work. And she texted me to come over after work
at the end of the night. And we live super close to each other. Like, her house is, like, half a
mile from work. So I was like, okay, I'm gonna go to work. And she was like, okay, I'm gonna go to work.
Okay. Yeah. Just come on over. And I was just having a normal day. I was just gonna go over,
have dinner, and watch TV. And then. No, but he was so confused why I told him to come over,
because, like, it was so late. I was like, you need to come over. He's like, what? Like. I was like, my feet do hurt. And usually I'd be asleep by that time. So I think he was just so
confused. Yeah, she goes to bed really early compared to me. Just, like, I can't go to bed
before, like, 10. Like, she's, like. Yeah.
She's in bed by, like, 7.30, 8. Oh, yeah. You're out by 8? Wait, wait. This is something
that we actually. Like, I need Matt to go to bed at the same time as me. Yeah. And I
found out that this is, like, a common thing in a relationship. You're fine going to sleep
by yourself. You don't care. Well, no, I'm there. I mean, now I'm like, can we go to
bed? Like, but you're there. And also, I'll be in the bed. Oh, but you're just like. I'll just be, like, watching TV or on my phone. Oh, okay. Like, I can't. Like, I won't be,
like, the baby's sleeping. Yeah. I'm like, I hear it before she does, you know? Our baby
does sleep in our bed. But, yeah, anyways, pregnancy wasn't even something. Sorry. Like,
I just didn't think there was any way I could be pregnant. Like, I know how it works, but
I just didn't think. Yeah. Like, not that I thought I had problems or anything. Like,
I just thought we had taken the precautions for that not to happen. And so, I just really
did not feel good that day at all. And I just knew something was wrong. So, I bought one, but it was kind of, like, I didn't even think
it was a possibility. I was just like, okay, I'll, like, make sure this isn't what I think
it is. And so, when I. No, but wait, you bought something else first. Yeah, yeah. They
were going back and forth whether or not they're going to share this. Are you okay sharing
this? Yeah, no, I'm okay sharing it. But, like, when I was walking around, like, we
all know Spencer's, like, the fun store. There's, like, this wall of shirts. And then there's
this certain shirt. I just bought it because I thought it was funny. But it's, like, a
shirt. That's how you pull his parents. That's how you do it. Yeah, we, like, laid the shirt
down and put the pregnancy test on it. It wasn't just that. There was, like, the sonogram,
the shirt. Oh, okay. But, like, the first thing they see is the shirt. Because it's
a shirt with a blue truck on it that just says. My mom was so confused. She's like,
I hate pulling out. She was so confused. Yeah, it was just a shirt with a truck on it that
says, I hate pulling out. But I had bought that before. Do you have that kind of humor
with your parents? Because I feel like if I were to show that. He does. I don't. Yeah.
My parents, I really feel like they would freeze. Yeah. So open. Like, they're super
nice. And, like, my sense of humor doesn't change when I'm around them. And it is a lot
of times inappropriate. Okay. It's just how. I just think it's funny. Okay. Yeah, it's
a big. There's a truck and a trailer. It says, I hate pulling out. And a pregnancy
test. But she bought it before the pregnancy test. Yeah, I bought that first. And then
I went on over to Target, bought the pregnancy test, went home. Did anyone know you were taking
this test? No. No. Like, I lived in the apartment in my parents' backyard by myself. Like, I
lived alone in that apartment. So I wouldn't take it. You didn't think. You should tell. You, like, wouldn't think of telling, like, your mom or your sister? No. No. You're, like,
not having it. I was too scared. Like, I wasn't married. I'm not married. You know, I was
too scared of, like, people's opinions. Yeah. But, yeah, no, I took it and not thinking
anything. Like, I just took it casually and put it down. And then before I could even
walk out the bathroom, it just says, pregnant.
Wow. And, oh, my gosh, just tears. It was just bawling. Was that just mainly because
of your fear of what other people would think? Yeah. With you not being married? And I just
didn't feel ready at that time. Yeah. Like, being a mom is something I've always dreamt
of and wanted it. And I wanted to be a young mom, too. Like. Yeah. I idolized them. I'm
like. No, I idolized them. I was just so, like, proud of moms. Yeah. And, like, what
they could do. That I wanted to be, like, a part of that. But I just always thought I'd
be married in a house, like, in a situation where we would have a child. But I also didn't
want the child to be, like, okay, the child to be the reason we get married. Yeah. Like,
I didn't want to be, like, okay, we have to get married now that I'm pregnant. Yeah. Obviously,
I wanted to marry him. I was so in love with him. I am so in love with him. But, like,
I just didn't want to rush it, you know? But, yeah. Anyway, sorry. I keep, like, falling
away from the story. No, that's totally good. That's probably all the thoughts you have.
Yeah. And so, yeah. And so, I call one of my best friends, Isabella, and I told her
she's, like, 40 minutes away but drives over immediately. And I just bawled her for, like,
literally hours. And she's just sitting there listening. Like, she's just this little angel.
But, yeah. So, she was the very first person I told. And she's, like, the most open, sweetest
person just, like, listening to me. And then I text him saying, like, you need to come
over after work even though I knew it would be late and I knew he'd be tired. And I was
but if you came over that's why she wanted you to come over no no not until she started crying
but like the second i walked in yeah um like she said she's something i have to tell you and then
she couldn't finish her next sentence and then she started bawling and at first i'm like i was
like freaking out i was like what's wrong like you know like trying to like guess yeah and then
that was like the first thing that came to mind i guess and then she was like yeah and then i was
like trying i was like excited like i was trying to be excited you know because i always told
myself like i would have a good reaction i wanted to be excited um so like that's what i was doing
and it was a little hard because she was like still crying um but no it we it got better and
then i mean we talked and then i gave him the present i was like my original plan was to give
you this present with the shirt in it after like 30 minutes of like
holding her and crying yeah then she gave it to me i loved the shirt and then
um yeah we kind of just talked and laid there till almost the morning and then yeah
yeah then we just started trying to look for a house i was like that was like our first goal was
like to move in together and like get ready yeah like that that night did you like make plans of
like okay what are we gonna do now or what are we gonna do next i was like i don't know i don't
was it just kind of like let's just soak this in we made it fun like we just like she loved it i
swear um but like she's always she just wanted to go look at every house on zillow like she just
wanted to go look at houses so we were just looking at houses we were gonna rush it like
obviously we wanted to get a house before but we're not just gonna buy something because
like we were trying not to rush that process how old were you when all of this happened
20 20 she had just turned when i found out was it like march yeah i had
20 in january yeah oh wow so like yeah so you're like that's a lot yeah that's a quick wasn't that
when you were you 21 i think it was 22 when we got pregnant with griffin 22 and i right after
that turned 23 yeah that's a big moment yeah and so then you're automatically like okay now i gotta
find a doctor which apparently we have the same ob yeah you she apparently saw me at the ob and
didn't say that's hilarious like i i don't know i was kind of just admiring like i was one of the
persons like looking at me and i was like oh my god i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't
know i'm like dyson her name is abby i'm like she makes you guys are both there like yeah well it
was like our first appointment after we had after maple so she was like tiny and this is probably
six months ago and you came in i'm just like in la la land i'm just looking at our baby you know
and then katie's freaking out um and like you were at the counter this shows literally how
unobservant i am that's that's scary but true it wasn't confirmed until like the end of the year
they called your name yeah and i was like oh it's abby it's like that's funny but yeah no i wanted
to say hi but i didn't like you hadn't announced your pregnancy i was like it i was like this
doesn't i feel like you should not say hi to someone at a doctor's office like this doesn't
seem like the right that was situation like three or four months before we announced it was a little
bit yeah she came up to me she's like i told you yeah because like i had heard like abby for like
blood work or something i was like i don't know what to do i don't know what to do i don't know
what to do i was like i knew it i was just so excited for you that might have been the
confirmation no that wouldn't have been
the confirmation appointment though because i was there at that once then that might have been like
another one that i just couldn't make it to i don't know all those early appointments really
i blacked out so i don't yeah i do not know goodness well you look so cute there you did
by the time they are watching this i probably won't be pregnant anymore when you really that's
crazy yeah if you guys are watching this abby probably has already had her child so great crazy
little glimpse of the future yeah but how was your pregnancy oh i mean the first part was just hard
because i just wasn't expecting it i was so grateful to be pregnant i'd say she didn't
surprise she didn't start like enjoying it i didn't start embracing it until a couple months
in which like sounds so weird sorry i keep mumbling so much i would say like once she like
felt movement and like kicking it just made her so happy so like i feel like around 18 weeks she
like got really happy like 18 to 30 weeks i think like the first part was like emotional and
stressful because we were trying to figure everything out yeah and then the last part
she was just so uncomfortable but i feel like the middle part
she seemed to love okay yeah i was just more scared to like tell people that i was pregnant
yeah how did the family take it okay wait so you gotta say this um she was not feeling good like i
don't know first couple weeks you're like a little bit sick or whatever yeah and uh her grandma lives
with her she's the nicest sweetest funniest person your grandma lives over there too yeah
it just keeps getting better yeah and uh you're driving wherever and like what'd she say well my
parents were out of town at the moment it was just my grandma at home and i was so sick and i was
throwing up and my grandma knew that i had just thrown up so she was like are you pregnant and i
was just laughing at her i was like no uh making her like seem like you're out of it like no yeah
but in a good way in a fun way she likes it um and so she was told me she was because i was already
looking at houses my dream was to buy a house and she was like i found this house over here you need
to come see it so i was like okay and so she's like get in the car and i go in the car with my
grandma literally pulls into walmart and i'm like what are you doing she's i'm going to buy you a
pregnancy test i was like what are you doing i'm going to buy you a pregnancy test and she's like

she's like well then tell me whether you whether you are or like i'm going in to buy one and i'll
say okay i am and like i hadn't even told my mom at that point like she kind of like blackmailed
out of me like she was like she's like pee on this stick right now literally she's like well
we're going inside to buy a test or you can tell me that you're pregnant like was she the second
like person or she was was she the first person in your family oh first in the family first in the
and she is the biggest big mouth my grandma loves drama so bad i love her to death she loves drama

like because we do my hair in front of the mirror and she just like she could she just knew at that
moment that i was pregnant and but she didn't say anything
she didn't say anything and then maybe like three weeks later i like finally build up the
courage to tell her um and she was like well i already knew you told your grandma before me
you know and so she didn't have much reaction because she already knew but she was she was
just happy so my mom loves baby so much like she was so excited first grandchild in the family no

she she was calling the baby a but that's how she is she says whatever comes to mind
like she loves drama she's like doing the dishes she's like well
kitty's like what is the baby gonna be a bastard yeah oh i can honestly that makes you think of
game of thrones that makes me think of the recent minions movie oh my gosh they say that
they said that word in the minions movie i'm sitting there in the front row with my
two-year-old and our four-year-old and i'm like oh my gosh did they just say that yeah
yeah is that what did is that technically the dictionary definition of bastard yeah um
having a baby out of wedlock i'm pretty sure yeah really okay i thought it was like i don't
want if you're already married and you have another yeah i think that might be right okay
you need to tell your grandma that right she doesn't care she doesn't care what did you say
to that i just start crying like i'm just so emotional you know a lot of the time i'm like
you guys are gonna get married is that what she's yeah well my whole family was like they were just
like get married i'm like no like okay i'm like not yet you know i just i don't know i never
envisioned myself getting married well like pregnant i wanted to wait well you got okay
you got engaged right before she was born right no i think like a month after we found out i was
pregnant we got engaged yeah so you're like two months pregnant yeah when you got engaged yeah
how soon after you got engaged did you lose your wedding ring or lose the engagement right oh my
she had it for like three or four months right yeah it was just in my jewelry box the whole time
like are you kidding me yeah no it was so weird i literally had a dream that she found it in her
in her jewelry box which is like she only wears gold jewelry so the jewelry box is like filled
with so much stuff and she came to me and like showed me that she found it so i woke up and i
like went and looked in there and it was there it was just so weird like which i was actually lose
it
no but it was gone for like four months yeah four months and we and like her mom looked in the
jewelry box she looked in the jewelry box i looked in the jewelry box have you checked with grandma
i pulled apart like all our piping and our sinks you know like i was looking everywhere i was like
where could this have gone because in one of her videos is a valentine's day video she's making an
envelope you see it in the end of the video she finishes it at like eight o'clock and i get home
from work at like 9 30 and it was gone so in that video she's making an envelope and she's making an
envelope you see it in that short window so i knew it was at our house like i hadn't left
that's a good thing about making videos i'm like when did i last have it on you know that's funny
i lost mine i actually lost it lost it like for good we're good for good on the honeymoon on the
honeymoon we realized it on the way yeah on the on the way on the plane ride too i think we were

like this marriage is doomed yeah how's planning the wedding going are you guys pretty excited it's

had a bag get lost yep you don't know what hands those can end up in and you want to make sure that
your belongings are secure and that's why noble completely removed the zipper it's a zipperless
latch lock suitcase that closes like a safe the two halves meet with a tight seal you hear and
feel the click when it locks and noble isn't just the safest luggage out there they've actually

allow you to do that in the airport they have a built-in charging port directly in the suitcase
they have a front laptop pocket and a flip out cup holder even built right into the suitcase

it's kind of rude to ask people to go to hawaii yeah it's expensive but like it's where we want
you know it's just like just seems so cool neither of us have ever been um just what we wanted to do
like we didn't i don't know we just feel bad making a bunch of people fly across the country
like yeah and her parents offered to do it in their backyard it's just i don't know i've seen
so many weddings go down in that backyard though like a lot of fives like all their friends have
like gotten married in my parents backyard i was like i don't want this your parents have things
to do in their backyard i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know
yeah i mean october 5th is the day that's so exciting yeah no we're so excited we got like
a person booked photographer and all the other stuff for her and yeah did you both want to elope
and have a small wedding or was it like you had to arrive at this decision like compromise i didn't
want like i think weddings are so beautiful i just didn't want like a like a big party i don't know i
think weddings are so beautiful i just didn't want like a like a big party i don't know i think
weddings are so beautiful i just didn't want like a like a big party i don't know i think weddings are
so beautiful i just didn't want like a like a big party i don't know i think weddings are so beautiful
like i threw like a big baby shower and it kind of just seemed like the whole time i was worried
about all the other people yeah like instead of just trying to have like a good time so i didn't
want my wedding to be like that too which is definitely just a me problem but like i didn't
want to be worried about all the guests like oh do they have all the food are they having a good
time like i just wanted to have a good time and like make it a memorable day that's smart yeah
that'll be really sweet do you have your dress oh i don't i don't we said everything's planned
i know she's
got like the i haven't appointed me appointment that i need to go to do it soon but that's the
best that's i think that's the best part of wedding planning really wedding dress shopping
yes do you still have yours i know a lot of people keep theirs or no i think i think it's
in my grandma's basement yeah yeah we're yeah see that's the problem with us we're not overly
sentimental about things no but that's not a problem but i'm like i would like that to be
like i really appreciated getting to try on my mom's wedding dress when we were like talking
about but i'm like i gotta get my stuff together just a little bit i think it's at my grandma's
house does it feel silly getting married after already having a house together and having a kid
together yeah we were just talking about that yesterday like because it feels like we're already
married we are married you know yeah i don't think you're going to notice any it's just like it's
just like no it's really just like a contract like a piece of paper no that's what i said like it
sounds more than that but i was like it just sounds like we're getting the government involved like
yeah but i i know it's such
a beautiful thing like it's more than that i'm excited it's i'm excited it's more of like a
honeymoon yeah yeah and like they're like connected like that's what we wanted like we would rather
spend the money on like a memorable vacation and go have fun for like two weeks then you know spend
that on a venue here totally and we've already been living together for you know over a year
no but i'm excited calling my husband i feel like that's something that will change like i can't
say right now i'm guessing i just call him tyson
wait when you had maple was that like i guess does she technically have your last name then
she does okay they did call her baby church because she was in the nicu
and so it didn't say goodman it said baby church which is my last name to one of my
friends she never really she got married but she just never legally changed her last name
but she went by her married name yeah and so then all of her babies at the hospital
had her maiden name and they've been married for a long time and he was like have that maiden name
uh no they she had to go in and change that but i don't know why the records in the hospital
had that i'm super curious you said when you found out you're pregnant
you had all this fear that people would judge you for not being married but then it sounded
like everybody was very supportive so was was anybody ever like not kind to you or was
anybody like ever did anyone ever make you feel bad for having a baby before you got married
in my life no online yes i think they were all surprised like everyone kind of just thought i
was 12 they were like what you're pregnant like oh no i thought i was doomed oh really um i was
doomed yeah but this was all people online yeah people that had just watched your videos of you
eating steak yeah okay was that hard to see at the time or did you were you kind of like
there was so much support i think all the love spoke so much louder than the hate that like my
attention didn't even go there yeah um but i think that was really the only hate i got everyone was
so positive it was all just in my head you know like you yeah get so worked up about what people
will think and then i just thought too hard on it and none of it was reality it was also kind
of funny though like the hate comments were like they weren't like they were just saying like funny
they're like another baby having a baby like yeah that was my top comment
for months like really click on one of my videos top comment another a baby having a baby um
judge that was funny is yeah i mean like they're trying to be mean but it's kind of just funny
yeah and at that point like the hate that i did receive i was like what do you guys want me to do
like you know i'm like i'm already pregnant like with this here we are you know like what was it
like finding out that you were having a girl oh like my dreams came true i have a little so
i really don't
want a boy in the beginning the last 11 kids on the mom my dad's side are all boys like there
hasn't been a girl in forever it's very sexist of you to say that out loud so i wanted a boy
and we had 11 more boys yeah like uncles cousins dad like all boys so i like thought it would be
a boy you know but we had a cake get made um so we're gonna do like a cake reveal and when we
opened the cake in her house she was like oh my god i'm gonna have a baby and i'm like oh my god
kitchen it was a tomahawk steak like and we're gonna cut into it see what color it was yeah
a steak cake yeah i as a joke like looked i was like peeked on the side you know like because
it looked like sealed like it was fondant and so i like looked on the side and um i saw a pink
and so i knew before we cut into it and i was just trying to say anything no i was just trying
to have a good reaction for the video oh that's funny but at the time it seemed like it mattered
like i like i wanted a boy but like now that like i've met
her and she's here like i can't imagine her being a boy how was the whole like pregnancy postpartum
all all that goodness how was it kind of crazy experience right right after birth too yeah and
your birth was kind of crazy too yeah just fast it was kind of just like after she came out that
was so fast like after i had had her were you induced no she was like my water broke i sneezed
my water broke and then we went to the hospital how far along were you i i was 39 weeks in like
a couple days yeah i had i was like almost to my due date my due date was the 15th and she was born
on the 11th um but yeah like that i sneezed and it was the water broke all over the bed and i was
like my water just broke and he didn't believe me he's like you definitely just peed like
no my water broke it was so crazy like i had um watched videos of people saying it was like a
rubber band and it like is like that's just out of nowhere so like we go to the hospital
were you like having contractions at that point no no but i didn't know what to do so i just went
to the hospital like help me she just kept gushing everywhere oh yeah i just started
recording saying my water broke i was like guys my water just broke like i was
you
the hospital i was so excited oh you were excited that's yeah no i was so excited i was ready for
her to come out i was just sick that whole day and i was excited um to meet her but i had a positive
like birth experience like the birth um did you go medicated yes yes um they gave me pitocin because
a lot nothing was happening after my water broke so they gave me that and it was like an hour later
i was like please
i can't do this um it was hurting so bad but yeah like i got the epidural and
like i had her but it was just after where things turned like an hour later after i had her
they like took her to like check things you know how they like go and check everything
and so i was like go with her you know and he went with her and then like another hour had
passed i was like where is she like she didn't come back um and like i don't know a doctor just
came in to check me plus i was like i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know
didn't say anything and left and i was like where is she like it's like two hours now i was like
she's not back and so like he calls me and saying that she was like on the way to the nick you and
i was like what what's going on and they just had to give her glucose because her blood sugar was
low so yeah because you're not letting me feed her like she's yeah and like it was such a big
goal of mine to breastfeed and like they didn't really give me that opportunity at all um they
kind of just took her gave her glucose and then by the time they even allowed her to breastfeed
they allowed me to see her which was a couple hours later because they weren't letting me walk
because i had that epidural like she's like in this like nick you room and like there's like a
tube of formula like going in like through her nose like what are those called in her in her
mouth it was in her mouth the first day and then they moved it to the nose yeah it started in the
mouth um which seeing that like obviously i know they were taking care of her it was just
heartbreaking for me because that was just such a big goal of mine yeah and like i wasn't asked
anything like i didn't know what was going on yeah that doesn't feel right yeah honestly no um
but yeah i like went over there and all i could do was just like sit there in that nick you arm
just like looking at her um and i wasn't allowed to like hold her that first day um because she
was sorry she got sent to the nick you because she was breathing too fast apparently she swallowed
liquid like coming out um which like impacted her lungs but so she was in there to like remove the
like the liquid from her lungs um it was just crazy like i have all the pictures of her like
set up with all these different cords and when i got the chance to hold her it was so scary to
hold her because i was in a trip over a cord like there's just so many cords connected but sorry
you can say i know like you were he was there the whole time so he probably had a different side
it was really not fun um like she was recovering and they came in to like do a physical on her
like they had moved this from the first room and
took her into this room it was like a big glass wall um and i couldn't even tell what they were
doing to her at first you know like they were just like kind of looking at her and like doing
all this stuff they like pricked her heel like drawn blood and stuff and then um they said that
she was like aspirating or whatever so she's breathing too fast and so they did an x-ray
um oh and they like were monitoring her oxygen levels the whole time which like i have a
asthma and so does she so like i know what bad oxygen levels are like i've been in the hospital
myself and i could just see it was in the low 90s almost in the 80s you know which is way too low
like you're supposed to be over 95 like all the time you want to be like 98 99 um but yeah they
were working on her for like an hour they were flipping her over on her belly and she's like a
few hours old so she's just like face down they're trying to get her to like cough it out or whatever
was in there um
the worst part for me was like there started to be like a crowd building up outside the glass wall
because katie's in her room yeah i have a huge family her mom's there my mom's there they're
watching and i'm just trying to like i'm listening to the doctors and they can't hear anything and
they're all just like looking at the baby like happy you know yeah and i'm just like starting
to feel like worse and worse and worse about it because of what they're saying um and then yeah
and then they finally like tell me that they have to move
her to the NICU um and like at that point like i swear i like blacked out like i thought i was
gonna pass out like it was not like my legs like were giving out from under me it was all the nurses
were like first timers like it's so scary what's wrong with your baby no it was not cool and like
sure like in that moment all they did was pick her up and put her in the box and they're just
wheeling her over there so like that moment the only hard part was them saying it yeah
but then once i got there there was three doctors working on her at once and like
watching that was definitely not fun i mean she's screaming and the doctors are amazing like
i don't even you know you look at a newborn baby like i wouldn't know where to put an IV in like
they look so small they do it in their hand um was she tiny or she was eight pounds yeah
she's a big girl yeah she was the biggest girl in there which we were like
i don't know it was a hard experience but we made it as good as we could um we spent his birthday in
the NICU too his birthday is like two days after hers oh yeah my birthday is the 13th but
i don't know it's just every time we thought like we like she's getting better like we can take her
home but like once you're admitted to the NICU like they won't let you leave until
you pass so many different goals yeah they said she had to reach back to her birth weight because
you know how they'll lose weight the first like couple of days and they said she couldn't leave
until she reached back her birth weight which most babies take over i know and so like which
they were just feeding her like so much through her tube and so much trying to get like and was
that just devastating for you with like wanting to breastfeed i know that like yeah that is like
a really intense feeling as a mom especially like freshly postpartum like the thought of like
formula going in your baby we're like okay yeah hello yeah and they'll use like the cheapest
things there too like they got a whole setup and you like they got the cheapest formula and
the cheapest bottles which i'm not saying there's anything wrong with it's just like goals for your
baby that should be like your decision to make yeah no i was not asked like anything uh they
don't which i'm sure you signed the papers that like just let them do what they need to do and
they did what they needed to do and she she's such a healthy baby and that's all i could ask for
but um so then were you able to have a breastfeeding journey or kind of it was awful but like the hard
part was like i would say the tube and obviously i'm a guy i have no idea but i say the tube
she was like basically asleep the whole time it's going straight into her stomach so i don't think
that wouldn't really affect the breastfeeding but then when they took the tube out they're like
i don't know it's day two or three or something and they're like okay you can either only breastfeed
and she has to drink a certain amount of i don't know milliliters or whatever or you can do this
and you get to go home earlier like basically you have to meet this milestone so you can stay here
a couple weeks and do take the slow route or go right into this route and it'll be quicker
yeah um but they also like we're not allowed to sleep there like that's tough like i don't know
we couldn't stay like we would be there all day but like they wouldn't let us sleep there we'd be
in our room like our postpartum room which is the farthest away from the NICU so i just had a baby
and i'm like i had to go back and forth every two hours because every two hours they had to check on
me for my checkup yeah and then i had to go back and forth every two hours because every two hours
and every two hours was her feeding so like i was just back and forth for like a couple days
while she was in there but you had to leave her at night when it would close yeah that's so hard
yeah but there's there was so many other babies in there that i was it was like crazy to see
everyone else's journey like right in front of my eyes too like there were some really tiny babies
there that like all we could do was like all we could do was you know just like keep them in mind
and and see all the other parents in there
not a fun place but i do think like those doctors or nurses or whatever oh they were amazing they're
they were so kind in the building like i don't know we were just so excited when they finally
told us like they have a room so you're like in these curtain rooms it's not really a room you
know it's just curtains and when they finally told us that we could go home the next day
they kind of monitor you uh like take her off of everything and then just kind of put you in like
a different room and it's an actual room with a bathroom and they just like let you you can sleep
in that one so like once you go to that room you can sleep stay the night there um so it's just
like a practice room you know to make sure nothing goes wrong and then we could go home in the morning
so when we found that out like they told us i don't know i i went home i like got a toothbrush
and some pillows and came right back then yeah we just slept the night and left in the morning
had to be the best feeling oh yeah leaving there so much fun it's also kind of scary though because
like right yeah what do we do
we had help for the first few days and then we get home i don't know it's so funny like we were
we put her down and like we were trying to be so quiet and then in reality like two weeks later
like the tv's blasting and she's just passed out like babies can actually sleep through all the
noise you know yeah i feel like that's the experience that only your first child will ever
have yeah like i see all these videos it's like us taking our third baby home and they're realizing
that they're not the they're not the only one and it's just like lightsabers and balls and
screaming but that first one oh with griffin we were silent yeah we were quiet you guys seem like
super parents too with all the different crafts and and things that you built her saw the little
car that you spray painted yeah for her yeah strawberry car that was so much i mean most of
that not most of it it was honestly for me too like i had a fun time doing that like yes i would
made it for me but i was like i'm gonna do it again i'm gonna do it again i'm gonna do it again
but like being postpartum too like i didn't know where to put a lot of my energy like obviously it
all went towards her but i was like man like i need to have some hobbies like that's where i
kind of just picked those things up and just started making things for her what's taken you
the most time of all like your crafts what's what's been the biggest time commitment it was
definitely the i made a robot i made it it took me a week the robot from my carly you think or i
renovated a like an old doll house that probably took a week too and tyson are you are you like
doing behind the scenes like assisting with all these projects so so it's kind of a team effort
yeah yeah i do like the hard labor that you don't and she just says like you see her painting it in
the video and like you're like breaking your back lifting up a hundred pound tire if we have to do
something like 300 times like 300 times like if we're like putting like confetti on the floor
all over a pinata like oh you know we don't record the entire process yeah um so she'll start it and
then i'll help while she's like taking care of the baby or vice versa if she's recording i'm taking
care of the baby so we basically just flip flop i'm not always on camera because i'm not as good
but i i also am you are i am on camera but like not as much like i'll go out there and i'll record it
i don't i try to talk to the camera it's just so weird for me like it's weird like you're literally
talking to just a phone and there's nobody else there oh and they're like our neighbors know what
we do so like i'll be outside and like i don't know you have to like give energy you know and
so like you'll be saying something and then like the neighbors walk in like taking the trash out
and i'm like oh my god but yeah yeah i just help her as much as i can like i quit my job
you know to to help with the videos and yeah mainly the baby like it's just like she doesn't
necessarily need me for the video but she can't make i do no she does but like there's videos
where she doesn't but she can't even start well i don't need him for a get dressed with me like
i don't need him to help me do my makeup you know like a cooking video but like she can't do it
if she's taking care of the baby so like yeah i just whatever whatever she tells me to do
whatever she tells me which project was the most expensive that you guys did for a video
was it the robot was like it was the robot no we had to think about it for a second the robot was
like five six hundred it's a lot of money to make for a like that's a lot of money to spend just for
one video we do not profit on a lot of the videos oh really not no but that's because they're fun
you know like yeah like that's i don't know that's what
we invest in honestly was it i don't know it's what it's hard to think i was thinking if it's
the robot people are talking about like their investments when you're with a group of guys
yeah i invested in this like robot and a strawberry car literally see when i think
about doing diy projects uh you should there's so much fun no i know my limits and i know
our marriage's limits this would not be our this would not be good for us i feel like we do tick
tock dances instead i feel like if we were to do a diy project together that would that would be
unpleasant can we talk about brent rivera for a second oh please my brother your brother
how did that collab come to be uh he dm'd me and i was like yes please let's go yeah
but that was like a long time coming like a lot of people just say i look just like him so
i'm like yeah yeah and he was just getting constantly tagged in your comment section yes

lot of fun to film with that's so funny yeah and i feel like we do look like you know oh for sure i

ask your audience what questions they had for you guys oh my gosh so um a couple a couple fun ones
here if that's okay that's okay please um the first audience question is why did you decide to
eat steak online i know we kind of forgot about that but i think it's a good question because
i've talked about that a bit but maybe just you know yeah well i had a fun story that i wanted to
tell my like 10 followers at the time i was so excited to tell them um there was a girl that i
worked with and she was pregnant and she got offered like the rest of someone else's steak
and she said no and she was like no i'm not allowed to have steak because i'm pregnant
and i was like what i didn't say anything i wasn't even a part of this conversation that
happened at work but i told my phone like the next day because i was excited to just rant i
was like someone said you can't have steak when you're pregnant
Why not?
Or something like that.
i just felt like i had to tell them like yeah or she was like if someone tells me oh i was like
i'm gonna sorry i was like i'm gonna eat steak while i'm pregnant or something like that i just
had to tell them and there was a steak in front of me i feel like i told that story so bad
did you have steak when you were pregnant not really oh i did i did i shouldn't i wasn't very
fond of it when i was pregnant it did sound gross and like well it was like the cooking part like
the raw meat raw bacon raw chicken can you cook meat right now yeah right now i can yeah yeah
early on no is there a silly question people ask you a lot because of you being known as the steak
girl because like i'm looking at the questions right now like half of these are about steak
yeah i want to know what cut of steak because we're just getting actually it's my new year's
resolution to learn how to make a good steak at home yeah and i make him grill them but i'm like
still kind of confused on what cut is like the best yeah i like a new york strip that's a weekend
i love a new york trip i love the fat
chicken
it depends on where you get it because like it's from costco yeah i think they have they're like
no we we do not like fries for whatever reason you want let's just bash fries i'm just kidding
i'm so good where do you get your steak from then i like sprouts i like i've gotten some at costco
i like sprouts and whole foods i feel like they always have really good steaks
you want it to be farm like i feel like when you're cooking it yeah if it's like mushy it
doesn't i don't know do you
do it on a cast iron yeah
i love the like i don't know new york's have like a perfect fat to meat ratio you know like the
marbling and i just love the fat on the outside oh i could talk about steak all day long but i
love a ribeye and i love new york's i'm not the biggest fan of like filet mignons or sirloins but
then here's the next question it says how much do you spend on groceries eating carnivore i know
you're not actually like full-on carnivore anymore but your bill must be super high because one time
we like if you're at whole foods and we know we went to whole foods for steaks we spent like
120 bucks no it was like 150 bucks just for steaks for abby and i and my parents for a whole family
okay we got six steaks but still it was like it's like 25 a steak yeah it's not that cheap i usually
there's a sprouts like down the street i usually get one for like 20 bucks a steak which i know is
like 20 bucks a meal is a lot of money yeah sometimes more but yeah like a nice one's like 50
like from the butcher shop
wow yeah i usually just stick to sprouts i love them and
it's a blessing like when i started the steak videos i was getting sent some which i thought
was so cool so people were sending me steaks yeah no way from like different farms that are really
sweet and sent me some so our freezer is currently stocked so because of that reason the grocery bill
isn't that high because i got a lot of them for free which is wait that's cool so you have just
a freezer full of steak right now at your house pretty much i'm sure being the steak girl everybody
wants to send you steak yeah all the different farms
like they'll reach out how often yeah no it is so sweet do you get sent a steak like every day
no not every day but when it comes it's like a huge package okay just me and it's like a dream
like i'm so grateful for it it's more than steak there's like hot dogs yeah burgers there's like
burger patties like oh there's like each different cut of steak so like my dad loves the ones with
not as much fat like he loves the sirloins and filet mignon so i'll like give those to him
and then i love all the fatty cuts so like i'll keep those
but but i'm sure if i were to eat steak that much and like pay for all of them it would be so much
more money just recently started to or people will come up and like call her by her name but
for the first like solid year year and a half like we don't get she doesn't get referred to as katie
like yeah it's a steak girl steak yeah like i've had steak like yelled at me a couple of times
yeah we'll be in like steak i'm like yeah we're like she's a steak girl she's a steak girl she's a
like shopping in a clothing store and like you'll just hear the word steak and yeah or that's the
girl who eats steak like i'll hear it like like i don't know yeah like i would never hear katie
recently i've started to hear like people say my name but like before it was either like stephanie
or a steak girl like i do crafts i'm like i'm branching out guys like for abby it's you're
matt and abby really are you matt and abby i'm like yes oh thank you nobody knows her last name
that's okay
howard howard howard hey i know it said the other day she goes do you ever just want to say well i'm
abby and i'm like no you should be a steak for halloween you should just just wear right lady
gaga like dressed up in like a steak costume one time and i just get i got tagged in it so many
times and then lady gaga followed me i was like wait i was freaking out you're kidding me yeah
she followed you yeah but you gotta collab with lady gaga i'm like too scared to text her you gotta
you know you should d you gotta dm her seriously okay we should clip this you need you should dm
lady i are hopefully she sees this and be like will you eat a steak with me that would be so
cool and you guys can both wait you guys could both wear the steak the steak costume that like
the one that she wore yeah that would be so funny i would love that please i would love that please
please lady gaga make this happen wait is it true that maple also eats steak yeah she sucks on yeah
i mean she's teething
and so like whenever i'm eating it she's just like you know babies they put their mouths on
everything so i'm like yeah you can you can go for it girl well if you get like a good you can't
actually eat it like she has like one half little tooth coming in she can't actually eat it but like
i'll give her a big piece and she'll just gnaw on it i feel like it feels good for her yeah
yeah nutrients too right this is from oceana yeaton she said how did you come up with the name
maple lou i really loved the name
i curated like a list of names that i loved and one of them was mabel um it's from the show called
gravity falls i don't know if you've heard of it oh yeah but like there's a girl named mabel and i
always loved her name but i also kind of wanted a unique name and he actually thought of maple
because i was just telling him the names i loved and he's like well what about like maple
i was like i like it but it sounds like a grandma i was like what about maple and then
yeah and i just really loved it i thought it was so cute like
i don't know i thought of it as like a nature name a tree name there's so many like names
inspired by nature uh i know it's like not very common some people thought it was weird and then
lou just came from my mom her name is lulu so that's why l u cute she kind of looks just like
my mom like so i feel like it's fitting but yeah maple lou and then goodman yeah people want to
know what tyson does for a living which i think we've been over this but we can just we can just
say here just so people know yeah also yeah i mean i was a
bartender that's where we met um but now i just help her make videos all day he's he's putting
the the little white dots on strawberry cars right yeah yellow dots professional you should
say i'm a professional craftsman right say or like uh project manager behind the scenes
k's assistant yeah production you're like i work in production yeah i'm in production no honestly
um and i feel like we should ask a few more of these people want to know uh like what the hardest
part of motherhood has been hardest part i just don't want anything to happen to her like i feel
like she's like a piece of my heart just walking around she's obviously not walking around but
like i don't know i just don't want anything to happen to her what's the hardest part is just
putting her to sleep like she hates going to sleep like she doesn't nap no she does but it'll
take like an hour to get her to sleep and then she'll sleep for like 20 minutes maybe i'm just
doing it wrong and you got and you guys co-sleep is that like we do co-sleep and i said it online
and i know it's a very like controversial topic anyone get really mad at you yeah they just say
that i'm like putting her in danger but honestly i'm scared for her to go in the other room or like
in her own room like the thought of her like she has a room she has a crib but it is weird like
i know we'll get there but thinking of falling asleep in a different room from her
is kind of weird yeah just because this is what we've gotten used to got it yeah but like i feel
like when you're in the mindset that she's in your bed like i don't know you're just not gonna move
you know like you don't do i don't know i just feel like you're still subconsciously awake you
know even though you're sleeping you're not gonna roll over on her whatever yeah you know like
and obviously it does happen like i've looked up reports of when it does happen and usually a lot
of parents were either you know drunk or high or just in like not uh what's like not a mindset
what's the word like coherent yeah and that's usually when majority of like the accidents
happen is in that state but we take the precautions like we have a bed railing about our like around
our bed so she can't roll off and then like she sleeps with me and i just use a pillow we don't
really use like i have this one blanket but is that how you go to bed at eight then yeah that's
but yeah no she yeah but i just love sleeping with her you went to bed early before i went to
bed early too so she goes to bed at eight and then do you does she wake up before like like
she wakes me up she's like our little rooster like she's like like we'll start kicking us if
we're not awake what time like five in the morning like we're good for the day five a.m
oh gosh you're getting up at five she wakes up so early every day but also like no she's not
and at midnight oh gosh making bottles yeah you guys need taking care of babies yeah have you
heard of that
horse before heard of what taking care of babies she lives here i'll connect you with cara her
name's cara oh really the first time i saw her i wanted to kiss her on the mouth because she helped
us get some sleep yeah really for the first time like a sleep trainer yeah yeah well she has a
program she isn't like actually right too late no we did we we held off we waited till 10 months
with our first yeah she basically says you know just you know leave him in the room and never
that's not true that's the misconception like to cry it out that's the thing that's the thing
with you i'm sure you already know and you've experienced it you sleep with your baby wrong
you train your baby to sleep on their own wrong yeah you do this wrong wrong yeah and so that's
just like the really cool thing about mothering methods that's the cool thing about mothering in
the public eye um there's a lot of not cool things about it but i feel like you you probably
experience this too or you just like develop your own
sense of confidence yeah like you know i'm actually uniquely created to raise this child
and it really doesn't matter what your opinion is yeah yeah like because you are not their mother
that's me yeah and so i'm if you ever need to talk to anybody about that yeah i could i could
there's always judgments about that you know well last up we have the game of who's more like these
are fun ones these are kind of fun no i don't want it to end then you're so fun to talk to
okay first up who's more likely to overcook steak
tyson yeah have you have you burnt that before mine what's up have you burnt a steak before uh
burnt the outside i think like medium well this is like as far as i'll go on the inside
but like i love a steak medium okay she can eat it rare i mean she can eat it raw like we've had
i don't love the texture so like part of me is just kind of worried so like that's why i feel
like i sometimes overcook it yeah but she'll undercook it and she won't care so yeah you are
hardcore when it comes to that i don't know how you love steak it's just so good next who's more
likely is who's more likely to forget an anniversary an anniversary do you guys celebrate
your anniversary like of dating i don't know i guess it's new
years like yeah so it's kind of hard oh yeah no but we do we do i just don't think either of us
would forget yeah okay i don't think either of us would forget well you guys are perfect that's
awesome oh thanks but you guys i don't think you guys have been like you guys have only been
together three years yeah three years okay okay so yeah but we've known each other for four like
we were friends for a year before we started but yeah okay who's more forgetful in general tyson
tyson for sure who's more likely to get jealous me yeah me i just didn't want to say it but
why you i don't know like if someone like talks him a certain way i'm like
she was flirting with you like it'll like for example okay oh lovely no just hopefully she
doesn't see this but like i was a bartender and i probably had like one lady who like really took
care of me in like tips you know like yeah sugar mama a lot of money wait how much money are we
talking 100 bucks like a day a shift for i don't know yeah minimum 50 okay for like two beers so
but like her bill was like 10 bucks and then she would leave 50 bucks like each time and then she
would only come in when i worked so but she was like i really hope she doesn't see that she's a
50s maybe 60s um so she's definitely way older and like i never saw it as flirting because like
i'm just trying to get money and she's like 60 years old and she didn't like her you know so
she was literally flirting with him every day went in there only when he worked he wouldn't she
wouldn't go in any other days sit like right in the middle of the bar all propped up in front of
him like flirting with him every day she was a grandma like literally a grandma she's not a
trying to give you a hug oh she did each day he gave him a hug every day yeah ever go more than
hug okay there you go katie would have been like out there just like john cena literally yeah
yeah gotcha well i say i get more he doesn't really get jealous well now we neither of us
do anything like we're just you know what i'm saying we're with each other every single day
we don't go anywhere we're just working all day so you're not hugging anyone
so okay yeah uh next next who's more likely is who's more likely to accidentally spill a secret
me i love my mom she's like one of my best friends like i'll like i'll like spill some
stuff to her not even yeah i just think it's me i'll like gossip more than he does it would be
matt because matt doesn't know that it's a secret like i like telling him something i was like i
repeated yeah and you're like oh my bad wait but it could also be you sometimes like he's very open
with his parents though that's funny or like i'll just say something that like kind of like that
like she would not want me to say but it just sounds like exciting to say like you know something
new like i think this feels like a good topic to bring up right now who's more likely to ask for
the manager oh neither of us you guys won't do that because you work in the restaurant industry
yeah you're like we're not doing that no we've gone to a restaurant where like you know sometimes
it's just genuinely bad like if you you're i don't know it's just bad service whether they're
mean or the no refills on water whatever it may be but like it cannot bring myself to like tip
below no because you never know they could be so busy they could have so much going on they
could have a phone call going on you never know yeah even if the food's at it doesn't matter like
we chose to go there and that just couldn't you can't do that to someone now i'm curious because
you said 25 when my mom was like my age i want to say the standard was 15 but then when i was a
server it was like 20 so i was i think it's still well i'd say 25 is generous oh okay yeah but 20
is standard was what you'd say yeah yeah okay just considering like we both did it
i don't know it just feels i guess since we know what it feels like it feels better to give someone
20 but do you tip at a coffee shop if you go to get a coffee yeah but that's like 10
i don't dude that's actually it's funny you say that because that's how i do it in my head i'm like
am i sitting down and they're bringing me my food and stuff then i'm doing 20 but if i'm like yeah
if i if i go to a coffee shop you often tip more than i keep going back and forth but it's like
if i'm going up there and they like you know make the coffee give it to me i'm like
i guess i'll just do 10 yeah or i don't know i don't know it's gotten weird now
but i see it if you if it is as like like it's getting weird now but i see it if it's a service
yeah then like of course i will and like i'll do it generously that is the problem because
i think everywhere asks for a tip like i've been to fast food restaurants where they ask for it
yeah that's where i get uh that's where i feel protective of servers though because i'm like
wait they took you came to your table took your order filled your drinks cleaned up after you
because servers are getting paid less than minimum wage yeah yeah yeah i don't know i feel like that's
cool like the tip thing is like like tips because some people think like know that you know the
restaurants should just like be paying instead of that i don't know oh i i will always tip and
we would never ask for a manager like even not at a restaurant even at a store any place like
you never know what's going on with that person who's more likely to make maple laugh
more likely to be successful or to try i don't know to be successful
me all she has to do is like flip her hair but like he tries i try all day i try all day
which i am successful but like i don't know i swear all she has to do is like flip her hair
and she loves my hair like i'll just like put it on her like so she has hair like i'll just
like go like that and then she's like dying or i'll sneeze and she's just like dying
i'll have to do like a body slam to get like a smile like do something crazy who's more likely
to be the strictest person in the world who's more likely to be the strictest person in the
world who's more likely to be the strict parent me me what do you do or how do you lay down the
law because she can't even talk yet well she's not allowed to eat anything no mcdonald's no taco
bell no panda she's seven months old are you trying to give your daughter mcdonald's no but
i'm just saying that i'll go out and like i'll get taco bell and then i'll come home and katie's
like you can't eat like that she's watching you and like so i just care a lot about food yeah i
know and i want her to know the differences like it's not like i won't allow her to have stuff like
that's not the case i just want her to know like what foods will make her feel good um and i know
she's right and like i don't know like we'll indulge sometimes you know or sometimes they'll
be like i don't even know how to word i just want her to know how much good food can affect you
and like you know obviously i went to the extreme like you don't have to only feel
eat meat to feel good like that was like my like i just really want to feel good
i just wanted to fix something that was going on but no i just want her to know
how important it is like fueling your body the correct way
you know that's good no that's really good but not even just that with strictness like i know
that's like i just want her to have a really good childhood like she's only seven months old
right now like i'm gonna stop her from doing anything i feel like even still with our almost
three-year-old i'm like he doesn't know yeah but we babysit my niece and nephew sometimes and like
we'll take them to the store and like luna my niece she's like my best friend too she'll like
want to buy something times like okay and i'm like no and then she'll want to buy something
else okay like yeah but it's like it's to a point where you gotta like say no yeah it's different
though like if they're being bad like definitely will be stern yeah i don't know if stern is the
same as strict yeah but like but that's if they're being bad if they're being good i'm all for it
yeah so yeah and who's more likely to overthink parenting decisions what do you mean
i don't know
parenting decisions like what kind of decisions probably yeah probably a baby it's like feeding
uh sleep yeah if we're if you're sleep training if you're co-sleeping yeah like decisions about
the doctor with babies it's a little bit there's like fewer there's like a lot more decisions but
fewer categories of decisions yeah now we're in the stage of like preschool yeah we also have to
like get the discipline now because our kids we have to teach them how to do things like
they can't just like whine to get what they want right you don't want to like reinforce like every
time they cry they get a popsicle you know right yes we don't want to teach them that yeah i would
overthink like in the sense of like i'm super protective like something new scares me because
she's a baby so like like a food like trying a different food i'm like we're just slow slowly
introducing i feel like you're watching her for the next 30 minutes to make sure nothing happens
so like we're just slowly introducing food for the next 30 minutes to make sure nothing happens
like i feel like i overthink in that perspective that's something you did really lock in on i would
choking terrified he needed so much food out of our kids we have one of those like choking devices to
suck suck the food out if they ever joke oh my gosh we i need to get one in their mouth no it just goes
over the top and it's just like uh it's did you ever have to never had to use it thank goodness
but we have two of them we are locked and loaded though yeah probably good in the car
get one in the car we need to move one of those into the car we need a third get another one we
should get one of those in the car we should get one of those in the car we should get one of those
get a couple more yeah i should have one in my pocket at all times you probably would you would
pull it out and sit on the counter it was just like ready yeah well i used to sneak candy as a
kid and so like i walked into the closet or to the pantry and like i was eating jolly ranchers
and i remember i choked on one as a little boy and like i still remember it and that was like
really scary you couldn't breathe no my dad had to get it out um how did he do that
did he dig it out with his finger first no i'm pretty sure he like blows me yeah
and you don't remember it i was like five or six but i remember it i just don't remember exactly
how he got it out i just remember you're scaring me because that's our son does that too he'll go
in the pantry and just like chow down on some sweets yeah because like you're not supposed
to eat something you'll go hide and do it yeah also i'm not trying to scare you but like if
you're not supposed to be doing something you're gonna do it faster you know yes instead of like
i could have just been sucking on the jolly rancher
enjoying it i'm like trying to let him have that stuff freely then that's so spooky but
no i definitely want to get one of those yeah i mean she doesn't even eat yet and we're scared
yeah like she'll like that's the scariest part though when you're they're just starting because
they're supposed to do that type of stuff but it's just like it doesn't feel right yeah is there
anything we haven't talked about today that we should wait i want to know this earlier we were
talking about how you like to walk around tempe marketplace by yourself and now you're like now
we're talking about how you like to walk around tempe marketplace by yourself and now you're like
yeah do you get lost yeah i just feel like i'm more anxious now that i'm like i just feel like
i'm being watched now do you feel that when you're going places that you like being watched
yeah that feels like that i just feel like i'm being watched and watched before yeah i'm just
oblivious to it yeah yeah it is creepy when you see that you ever seen a video pop up on you up
pop up up pop up of you on social media that like you didn't know you're being filmed this one was
just like filming you i haven't had that it's eerie it's like no it's like you didn't ask my

okay so you feel like you're being watched then you don't like yeah people are always coming up
asking for pictures with her like i don't know it's just different like she i say when we started
dating um she loved going places by herself oh i was obsessed with it i'd rather go places alone
and then like with somebody like i just loved it nobody could rush me you know i just i don't know
i was a big fan of going places alone now not so much i think one because of the media and also
two because of maple like yeah she's so good in public i'm just always like okay now you need a
nap we need to go you know do you feel like it's giving you like social anxiety yeah yeah and like
i had none before then you know okay so yeah just a little bit it's cool like with 99 and i've had
nothing but nice interactions like i have nothing to be like afraid of i have nothing to be like
i haven't had anything bad happen um everyone has always been so sweet yeah i don't know it's
just in my head like whoa yeah once yeah it's crazy like we like we were in florida and it
seemed like everyone like was recognizing us on the beach went to a basketball game people sitting
next to us we were walking across a crosswalk and like that lady rolled down her window and yelled
at her and like it's just so weird like you just don't expect it so i feel like for her it makes
and for me it like makes me like protective or just kind of looking out yeah oh and now with the
baby too like sometimes people will go like like straight to go say hi to her you know which is
weird like they'll want to like see her which is fine but like we've also had a lady like come up
and like take a picture of her and like yeah and you know i'll say anything just boom into the
picture of maple no it was weird that was one weird thing she was like hi guys and then

Summary:
This transcription combines two segments: a Toyota advertisement and a podcast interview. The Toyota ad features "Jan on the Street" asking people how they extend summer with their vehicles, promoting the National Sales Event with special financing on the 2026 Tundra.
The main content is an "Unplanned" podcast episode featuring Katie Church, a TikTok influencer known as "Steak Girl," and her fiancé Tyson. Katie gained millions of followers by posting videos of herself eating steak, which started accidentally when she ranted about a coworker refusing steak during pregnancy. She initially kept her channel secret under the fake name "Stephanie," blocking friends and family until hitting 10,000 followers.
Katie and Tyson met while working at a restaurant, where Tyson became friends with Katie's brother, causing initial family friction when they started dating. At age 20, Katie discovered she was unexpectedly pregnant, which terrified her due to fears of judgment about having a baby before marriage. Her grandmother was the first to find out, and the family was ultimately supportive. Their daughter Maple was born at 8 pounds but spent time in the NICU due to breathing issues, a harrowing experience for the young parents.
The interview also covers a $12,000 scam where Katie lost TikTok creator fund money, their upcoming Hawaii elopement, their co-sleeping arrangement, and their DIY craft projects. Throughout, Katie emphasizes that online support outweighed criticism, though she faced comments like "a baby having a baby."
