Barry Plath, Kim Plath, Lydia Plath and Zac Wyse
Lydia Plath and Zac Wyse may be rushing toward marriage, but they’re in no hurry to take on any other major milestones just yet.
On the Aug. 26 episode of Welcome to Plathville, the couple sat down with Lydia’s parents, Kim and Barry, to talk about their upcoming wedding. While Barry joked about the changes that come with married life, Lydia, 21, accidentally steered the conversation into awkward territory.
“He’s going to drive you crazy with all the dad jokes,” Barry quipped about Zac, 23. Lydia playfully responded, “Just wait until he’s actually a dad!”

Here’s a rewritten version of that passage with the same meaning but smoother flow and a slightly polished tone:
When Zac mentioned that he and Lydia were saving their first kiss, Barry couldn’t resist jumping in: “Among other firsts?”
“Among all the other firsts, yes,” Zac confirmed.
“Oh, the fun firsts are coming,” Barry teased with a laugh. “There will be plenty of fun firsts to talk about.”
Clearly uncomfortable, Lydia tried to steer the conversation in another direction, but her dad wasn’t finished.
“You’ll get to experience those, you know, just in the privacy of…” he began, before Kim quickly interrupted and asked, “Are we talking about what I think we’re talking about?”
“Oh, yeah,” Barry replied, as Kim jokingly said she needed “more champagne.”
Still, Barry pressed on, adding, “I think it’s going to be hard not to have children right away.”
But Lydia pushed back, explaining that she and Zac have a different plan. “We really want to wait a while,” she shared.
In their confessional, Zac clarified that while he and Lydia do want children, they’re not planning to start a family right away.
“We want babies,” he admitted, “but not immediately. We’re building our own dynamic, and part of that will include kids in the future.”
Barry, however, had a different perspective. He reminded Lydia that she was “biologically designed right now to want a baby,” stressing that a woman’s 20s are “prime time” for pregnancy.
“You know I’m in that stage, right?” Barry added with a grin. “I’m ready for the grandchildren. That’s the fun phase—because when I’m done playing with them, I get to hand them right back to you.”
ydia later admitted that sex had never been an open topic of discussion in her household.
“I was kind of in denial that my parents even did that,” she joked. “A few years ago, my mom mentioned something about it, and I was like, ‘Oh, I know.’ She asked, ‘How?’ and I just said, ‘I just know. It’s common sense.’”
Kim acknowledged that she hadn’t given Lydia advice about birth control either, though she admitted she would rather bring it up when the men weren’t around.
“I think it’s safe to assume you both know how everything works,” she told Zac and Lydia. The couple simply replied, “We know enough.”
Kim went on to clarify that she and Barry never wanted to shelter their children completely. “I don’t want people to think we raised our kids in a box and then just tossed them out into the world,” she explained.
