Yeah, and if you wanna bring one foot forward,
into a lunge and a half-moon crescent,

yeah, for a boat pose.
- Can we all be brave adults,
and just admit that babies don't need yoga?
All: Ohhh! Yeah. (Babies coo and gurgle)
- Well...
okay, we can move on to something else.
Yeah, who's got a new topic?
- I'm incontinent. - I'm pregnant.
(All gasp and squeal)
- No! Alicia: Anne!
Val: Congratulations, Anne!
Sheila, if you don't mind,
we'll revisit your incontinence
after we've talked about Anne's good news.
- Sure.
Jenny: So when are you due?
- Uh, lookin' like late May.
Alicia: Oooh, late May.
Yikes. - What?! What is it?
- Well, are you worried about a Taurus baby?
- No, Alicia,
I'm actually not worried about a Taurus baby,
I am worried about ten million other things,
like who the hell is gonna take care
of all of these tiny humans I've decided to create.
- Oh, sounds messy.
- Anne, it sounds like you're gonna need some extra help.
Have you thought about hiring a nanny?
Jenny: Uh, Well, haven't we all considered hiring a nanny?!
Pretty luxurious, though.
- Yeah, as soon as I start making some green,
you know I'm hiring a nanny.
- Little tip though, don't hire your mother.
It gets very personal, very quickly.
- Ian's our nanny.
And I'm pretty sure he's doing nothing with our kid.
- You try talking to him?
- No...
he's a writer, so he's better with his words than me.
- You wanna out talk Ian?
Next time that he gives you any trouble,
you just attack him with some "I" language.
So basically, you phrase everything in terms
of how it's affecting you, all while smiling,
with soft eyes, even when you're insulting him.
- What do you mean?
- Here we go.
- Ahem.
How do you not know what I mean?
I feel like I am being very clear.
I'm worried that you may be a slow person.
- That'll work. - I don't think that'll work.
- You can follow it up with a blowjob
if you are concerned. Jenny: There you go.
- Depending on your time, you know.
