- It's my wife!
- (Mary) You probably didn't expect to see me on this episode.
I just got a title change, and that new title is mommy.
(Ashby gasps) 'Cause I'm pregnant.
- (FBE) Alright, Ashby. - Yeah!
- (FBE) Today you're gonna be taking part in a new challenge.
- Uh oh!
I'm excited and scared all at the same time. (laughs)
- (FBE) Funny you should say that.
This is a Try Not To Get Excited Challenge.
- Oh what?
How do you not get excited about something?
This is, okay.
- (FBE) Alright, so the rules are simple.
You can't show any signs of excitement.
- Okay. - (FBE) That means smiling,
raising your voice, or anything that makes it feel
as if what you're looking at on screen is exciting you.
- Okay.
- (FBE) With that said, let's get into our first video.
- Oh my gosh, okay.
(laughs) You set me up!
How could I not be excited about this? (laughs)
This is ugh! - (Jean-Luc) She came to me for help.
- There's no way I could, I mean, I'm so excited for this.
Like, if you've watched me in other,
like we did an episode where we reacted to the Comic Con trailers,
and this was like, I said in that,
like if there was only one trailer from Comic Con
that I could watch, this would be it.
Over and over.
- (FBE) Alright, so you lost already.
- (laughs) Gladly.
- (FBE) Alright, here is your next video.
- (sighs) No excitement.
- (Mary) Hey Ashby, it's me, your wife, Mary!
- (laughs) How do I not get?
- (Mary) You probably didn't expect to see me on this episode.
- How do I not get excited about this? (laughs)
What?
I feel like this is targeted. (laughs)
It's my wife! - (Mary) You probably didn't
expect to see me on this episode,
and I know you're trying to win and not get excited.
- Yeah.
- (Mary) But I do have to tell you, it's not an actual episode.
This has all been a plan.
- A what?
- (Mary) What's this plan, you're probably wondering?
- Yes, I am wondering.
- (Mary) Well, I think you should actually get excited,
because I have some news to tell you,
and that is that, I actually got the promotion
that I have been wanting, yipee, yay! - What?
- (Mary) But... - That's amazing!
- (Mary) There's still something else to that.
- Oh.
- (Mary) It's probably not what you're thinking.
- Wait, I'm so confused.
- (Mary) I just got a title change.
And that new title is mommy, 'cause I'm pregnant.
(Ashby gasps)
- (laughs) Wait, what?
Oh my God.
(screams and laughs)
- (FBE) Are you a little excited, Ashby?
- Oh, I'm super excited, holy, oh my God.
- (FBE) So first of all, congratulations.
- Thank you, oh my God. (laughs)
A little overwhelmed.
Oh my God, I was not expecting that at all.
Holy crap! - (FBE) So as you might have guessed,
there actually is no shoot today at all.
Your wife Mary asked us to set this up to surprise you.
- Oh.
- (Mary) And she's here right now.
- Oh my God!
That's amazing! - (FBE) Mary, come on out!
- What are you doing? (laughs)
- Surprise! - What, oh my God!
You've been hiding behind that curtain the whole time?
Oh my God.
That's fantastic. - Mm-hmm.
- What? (laughs) Sneaky!
- (FBE) So Ashby, Mary, obviously this is massive news,
and we want to thank you so much for letting us be a small part
of this amazing moment in your lives.
We know that this started off as a Try Not To Get Excited Challenge,
but how excited are you both right now?
- I mean, this is like, we've been talking about this
for a while, and like it's just a, I don't know, it's like surreal.
Like it's like I don't even, I don't know,
this is such a cool moment. This is amazing.
And we're doing it at the REACT Studio. (laughs)
That's awesome.
You like thought like this was, yeah?
- Well I figured you'd like it.
- Yeah, this is crazy! - I wanted to surprise you.
- It definitely surprised the hell out of me.
- (Benny) Yay! (Ashby yells)
- Holy crap, man!
Oh my God!
- There's some other people who wanna say congrats.
- Oh, okay. - Yeah, open the door.
Oh! - (staff) Yay!
- Oh my gosh.
- All the way, all the way, all the way.

(everyone laughs)

(everyone laughs)
- (Mary) That too. - She watches to the end, yeah.
She sees the goodbye!
- Oh man.
What a crazy day, like, and everybody knew!
(everyone laughs)
- (FBE) Like 10 people involved. We were so...
- Oh yeah, like, great job guys! Everyone kept that secret.
So that's great.
Wow. - Surprise!
- (FBE) How are you feeling? - I don't even,
like excited and like... - (FBE) Overwhelmed?
- Yeah, it's like a weird like, it like hits you.
One of those things where you're just like
you don't even know what's happening at the moment.
- (staff) You talking about the Picard trailer?
- Yeah. (everyone laughs)
Exactly.
- There was something that happened after that,
but I'm still processing. (laughs)
That was good. Yeah, you surprised the hell outta me.
- (FBE) Yeah, thanks so much for letting us be
just a small part of all of this.
- Oh gosh, yeah, this is like, such a cool like,
yeah, thank you. - Thank you.
- Woo! - Yay!
(staff applauds)
- It's funny, 'cause you asked me a while back.
You said like "do you wanna be surprised?"
And I was like yeah, I mean, I would love a surprise,
but like whatever, like whatever you wanna do.
- No, it wasn't a whatever. (Ashby laughs)
It was like "yeah." (everyone laughs)
- It's funny 'cause I've never, I'm trying to think
like in my life, I don't think I've ever,
'cause I never had like surprise birthday parties
or anything like that, so I never had those like
moments where people have to like collaborate
to making something happen. It was great.
- Now you do! - Yeah!
Check, check that off the list.
- (FBE) Yeah, right, you're like crossing down this with a whole...
- Wait, that's a what, oh my gosh, there's so many things.
- (Benny) Oh yeah, Parents React!
(everyone laughs)
- He already rocks the dad jokes, so you got that going for ya.
- That's true, that is true.
- (staff) Woo! - Woo!
Fancy smancy.
- (staff) This one's cider.
(Mary laughs) - Yeah! (laughs)
- That's for mom.
- Thank you all so much for doing this.
This is like amazing. And I mean, to us,
like what a cool moment. Thank you!
(staff cheers)
That was totally cool. (staff chatters)
Hey guys, it's Ashby from Adults React.
I still can't believe that Mary did this,
and FBE put together this whole thing for me.
It was, it was the most amazing, surprising experience ever,
and I am so happy to be able to share this with you guys.
So it's been, you know, I guess we're almost at three months
since we actually filmed this, and everything's great.
We've had our doctor's appointments, baby's healthy,
all the tests they have to do have come back great.
We also found out the gender,
which I don't know if you can tell by my shirt,
it's actually a girl, I've got the wrong shirt on, but...
(laughs) Yeah, we're gonna have a baby girl.
We're due sometime in the middle of April.
So we're really excited about it.
Thank you guys so much for watching, and I guess you're probably
gonna be seeing me soon on Parents React.
Bye guys!
