Comedic skit about postpartum intimacy from @slickstevietv
A man and woman discuss a mandatory "six-week wait." The man then goes through an intense training montage in preparation for the end of this period. He surprises the woman, who is with their newborn baby, revealing the six weeks are up, only for her to humorously downplay the event, leading him to reveal a Bluechew product as his "preparation."

Transcript excerpt
I can't. We have to wait six weeks. What do you mean you have to wait six weeks? It's the six week rule. Look it up. That was the longest six weeks of my life, but I'd like to think I'm ready for game day. The time has finally come. I'm getting let out of the six week rule jail cell, and I don't think I've ever trained for anything so hard in my entire life. You know what today is? Tuesday? Six weeks. That's huge. What could you say? Six weeks old? The day I've been waiting for for a long time? Hey. I got a babysitter. Just me and you today. We do not need a babysitter. It's only gonna take a few minutes. Oh. Oh, really? Okay. And remember, gentlemen, it's a marathon, not a sprint. Thank you, Bluetooth.
