Man's argument for pre-baby fitness from @immerse.inearth
The creator responds to an off-screen question by stating his belief that men should dedicate nine months to achieving peak physical fitness before having a baby. He justifies this by linking a man's health to pregnancy complications and the baby's epigenetics, using a montage of his own fitness activities and idyllic family life as visual evidence. He concludes by framing this pre-conception preparation as a man's equivalent to a woman's pregnancy, calling it common sense for the health of the family.

Transcript excerpt
What did you just say? I said that men should have to spend nine months getting in the best physical shape of their life before having a baby. Preeclampsia is tied to men. Morning sickness is tied to men because men build a placenta. 50 to 60% of the baby's epigenetic makeup is because of the man. So if you're gonna spend nine months following all these rules while building a baby inside you, then I can spend the nine months prior to that no drinking alcohol, limiting caffeine, I'll get blood work, I'll have three healthy meals a day, I will be in the best physical shape of my life prior to you getting pregnant for the betterment of you and your pregnancy and our baby. It's common sense.
