Clay: Here at DadLabs, we've long been an advocate of going to every single one of the OB/GYN appointments.
Brad: There is only one problem with this plan and it's called your boss.
Clay: Today's show is brought to you by BABYBJÖRN. Why not have your baby roll with this CEO baby carrier. This is the BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier Synergy, the boss of bosses.
Brad: Now, we understand that going to your boss and asking him to miss work so you can visit the gynecologist with your wife might be a little tough.
Clay: No, we don't.
Brad: What do you mean, we don't?
Clay: We don't have a boss. Who is your boss? Do you ask Daddy Troy, but --
Brad: Back in the day, bank in the day, remember we had bosses, Marage, Fred.
Clay: I do not remember this day of what you're speaking, but what if we actually -- if we had a boss and we had to ask them to go to the doctor with our wives?
Brad: What that would be like?
Clay: What's the best approach here? Make light, be funny.
Hey there! Big guy, if I could just have a minute, I've got a question for you, because I have got to go to my appointment with the gynecologist. Got to go to the gynecologist. That's what I'm up to. You were just going to ask if my wife, I've mentioned this to you before, she is pregnant, having the old baby now and so you -- they kind of expect you to go to these things now, so I was kind of -- I'm taking it that it's a no for you, which is, I totally -- I was kidding. I just wanted to come into the boss's office and say Gynecologist, because they dared me. The guys are going to carry you like, hey, I bet, you want to say Gynecologist, you want to say speculum in front of the old man. So I'm going to run that report for you.
Speaker: Maybe it's better if you go all legal.
Clay: Excuse me sir, I have a request, actually more of a demand. I would like to be able to attend my wife's OB/GYN appointments. I believe under the Family Medical Leave Act, I have certain rights.
Grad: Nicholas, you don't have any rights under the FMLA.
Clay: That sucks.
Grad: It's the law.
Clay: You know if this was Sweden.
Grad: It's Cleveland.
Clay: Or Iceland --
Grad: Or more just Broad Iceland --
Clay: I would have three months where I did nothing but go to the gynecologist all the time.
Speaker: What if I had one of those bosses?
Brad: There will be no marketing meeting today because Nicholas needs to go to the lady doctor, Send. Hey Nicholas!
Clay: Yeah.
Brad: You're going to your appointment?
Clay: Yeah.
Brad: Keep those stuffs warm for me.
Clay: Okay.
Speaker: And wouldn't this all just be so much easier if your boss was a woman?
Female Speaker: Hey Nicholas!
Clay: Yeah!
Female Speaker: You're heading out for your appointment?
Clay: Yeah.
Female Speaker: Keep those stuffs warm for me.
Clay: Okay.
Brad: Daddy Clay, it's 2009, most bosses are going to be cool with guys taking little personal time so that they can visit the OB/GYN with their pregnant wife. If they are not, they are morons.
Clay: All bosses are morons, so more than others. You know what, that's totally irrelevant, because right now, what we want is if you have any tips and tricks for ducking out of work to go to the OB/GYN office, go to DadLabs.com, join in the conversation there. It really is the best one going on the Internet right now, DadLabs.com.
Brad: Thanks to our sponsor BABYBJÖRN. In Sweden, they've got all of this stuff figured out and baby carriers too, BABYBJÖRN, the boss.
Clay: We'll see you next time here in the Lab.
