Oh, I don't want to be official. I want to
be your friend. I'm just gonna call you.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Everybody here.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
The kids over here closed me out, but because they
don't know that it means dad or daddy.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Oh, so, I guess I can't say it. I don't
know your mouf Lauren. Am I allowed to call him? God?
You can do it?
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Would that be like Abbi?

just it's just.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
That RN. Did the kids call you Ema? Yeah? Oh
my gosh, so my son's best friend. I'm Jewish, but
my son's best friend his mom, dad and Emma, and
so yeah, I love friend Emma too. When when his
best friend comes over, I'm like, okay, I'll take it.

All of their friends they call it, just call me up.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Just that's my.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Name, that's your moniker, that's that's just your name. But
it's so interesting. Yeah, because we were at shabbat at
their house last Friday, and and we were having dinner
and I'm saying Emma, Emma and his friend, my son
fan his friend comes from whispers in my ear. Do
you know my mom's real name? I said, don't shame
(02:41):
me at shabbat. Nope, she's Ema. I've been watching ninety
Day Fiance. I want to say, like forever, literally forever,
but your storyline, like you were the two that I
really connected with. I find you the most relatable and
(03:02):
I don't know, I think like Lauren specifically your journey
and just you guys had pregnancies very fast one year.
I can relate to that. I have five now, but
my first four it was like I bang them out
and it was like, that's wild you did it said,
(03:26):
being no pun intended.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
But people like cause they know we're on TV. And
I was like, don't you guys own a TV. And
we're like, we did, We don't watch ourself that we
own a TV.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
We never watch yourself.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
We watched our baby specials because he recorded.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Them on his phone on an episode.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
We get like sometimes you get like tagged in some
clip or some little part here and there on social media,
but we never sat down.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
That is wild, Okay. I can't believe she is so old.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
He's very old.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
And he's like he's in kindergarten.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
He always thinks and analyzes everything.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
And I just said to Alex the other day, Shy
is so much like you in the sense that he
is smart and analyzes things and overthinks thing. And he's
like me in the sense that he's scared of everything.
And Astra and Ari are fearless like you and stubborn
like you, but the life of the party and sent
(04:30):
our attention like me.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
And he was like, wow, you're right. I was like,
I know, that's what happens. They're always in an unusual
not always the perfect blend of both parties. It's crazy.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Yeah, see what happens.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
I'm terrified for the teenage years, be terrified.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Everybody, and everybody says it's going to get harder, going
to be tough for old issues.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
You have now smaller issues than you're gonna have bigger issues.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Can people ever say to you? I'm just feel like
I can relate to you. So people always will say
to me, and these are comments, and I'm like, I
don't want to look at these. But since my four
younger ones were born on reality TV, people always say,
why do you have so many kids? Why do you
keep having kids? Do they say that to you guys
(05:26):
with three kids back to back?
Speaker 3 (05:29):
I mean sometimes I guess I don't know. They ask why.
So I.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Saw some comments because again we don't read it too much,
but sometimes it does go and you do get to
see it.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Some people say we did it for TV. We just
is for TV, and and it's fascinating to me that
somebody would think that. And then on the flip side
of it, now I feel like people can't do crazy
shit like that just for TV. Go possible. Some people
do stuff like that just for TV.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Noah, you would have at this point, you would have
ai that shit just to like, you know, you can
do so much now, you wouldn't have had to go
through it if it was just for TV.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Sorry, though, she became much quicker than we were expecting.
Like we were we wanted the boys to be close
in age, and we were going to wait a little bit,
and I remember poking my head up, I'll be like,
we have an issue and he was like, well, I
was like, I'm pregnant and I was like five months
postpartum from ashures. Oh, so if she came when she
(06:34):
was meant to come, that's it.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
That's why we have three very quickly. But then you
finally got your girl, Yes we did. But I don't
know if you believe in even numbers. I like even numbers.
So I'm bummed guy of five if I yeah, I
got pregnant with Bo when I was forty four, so
probably if I could have had another one, I would have.
Everyone feel free to judge me for saying that, But
(06:59):
do you feel like you want one more?
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Well, at this point, she can't have anymore because we did.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
I'm sorry, No, it's okay.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
We wanted to do that.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
We wanted to go for one more and I ended
up having a hysterectomy instead. A few months ago. Yeah,
it's okay, I'm good.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
We thought about it then we.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
You know, thought hard about it, and we ended up talking,
you cannot have anymore if you try to get pregnant
again and deliver another baby, it's like fifty to fifty
then both to be not gonna make it.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
So yeah, it's just.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
And then I have like twin girls our luck. So
we quit while we were.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Yeah, did you freeze your eggs?
Speaker 3 (07:45):
No, no, she didn't freeze her eggs, but she has
I have.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
No, that's also something that the doctor said, you get
take out her eggs. They out my stuff and put
it in somebody else.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yeah, I carry really well.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Yeah, technically that's why we're still we have our hands
full for now.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Okay, well, I've only offered this to one other person,
but I am your biggest fan, so I'm offering it
to you guys as well. I loved being pregnant.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Oh my god, I felt like a beached whale.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I know, I mean not that part, but I know
I watched you not enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
But it's so sick and so miserable and hot, and
just like, oh, I hated it.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
I mean I liked being pregnant.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
I liked wearing body con dresses and like having the
bump and putting my hand there and feeling the baby.
But I had easiest pregnancies, but the deliveries were hard.
I was just like breaking out and hot and like wide,
and with Ari, I had ges tational diabetes and you know,
but I'm much happier now.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
I mean, that sounds very normal.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
It's normal.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
That's what I keep telling her always too, because you know,
she thinks that every time she has any kind of
issue or whatever, she's like, oh, this is insane, and
like it's normal. People have things, everybody. I feel like
pregnancies in general are considered like to be something simple
and like it's not to get pregnant and deliver a baby.
(09:27):
It's such a huge thing. It's like, oh, yeah, she's pregnant,
you'll have a baby.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
It's super casptable.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
But then when you're hitting and then you experience like
difficulties with you, you're like, wow, it's really not that easy.
And the things women go through it's not just physical,
it's a mental it's emotional. It's bouncing back. It's just
like my hair is like falling out, stelling clumps my
hormones are all over and it's just like.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
A mess, Alex, the things we have to deal with
this woman.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
No, you're so you're.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Keeping your mouth set now, why.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
No, I'm trying.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
But you know, you saw my.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Like we were just having a conversation about carpool and
he was like, you know, Lauren, I don't even know
the carpool system.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
It started this week, so I don't know yet know,
but got what I was trying to say that the
husband on the flip side is supporting and doing that
also deals with this stuff, you know, with the hormonal
crazy wife sometimes is not happy at the moment, and
and and it's fine as well.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
We deal with it and it's great and we do
it with look.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Mostly mostly.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Yes, perfect.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
You assume just like it's that the mom does everything
soccer mom.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
You know, our.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Kids went to this this temple pre pre care day
care place. I knew everything in there. I knew I
was I was the king there in there. But it's
happy to see me I go again.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
But now.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
He could do knowing all the first time that I
don't know, and you just started so I was asking, Hey,
I need to know everything to give me a schedule.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
We're doing three different schools by the way, yes, we.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Have three different schools, so it's it's complicated and timing needs.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
To be perfect.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
I am the free so far.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
I feel ill prepared.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Oh my gosh, it's that's so funny. It's always it's
always the dads that when they get to school, they're like.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Everyone loves me going there's the mom and he's just.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Like you feel like you don't want to be the
better one.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
We're like, it's it's so everything, yeah, because I don't
see you that much.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
So when Alex comes, well.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
For the first couple of years, I did all the
job ofs and pickups because she was always pregnant and
she couldn't left the kids into the car seats and stuff. Though,
oh well, the first three years, what you do the
first three years? I did all drop offs and all
the pickups for all the kids first three years until
you recovered from ari and then from your surgery that
you did them on makeup. So I did all the
(12:23):
jobs and pickups for three years.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Uh huh, I did. I'm with you, m I have
to put you onto these leggings. I am totally obsessed
with right now. They are from this brand called Tona,
and here's a fun fact. The designer behind them also
created Lulu Lemon, so yeah, you know they're legit. These
(12:50):
leggings are next level, buttery solved, super flattering, and seriously comfortable.
They give you just the right amount of support where
you needed well. So I started off wearing mine for
casual days out, but honestly, now I basically live in
them and I'm not mad at it. And here's what
makes them even better. Every pair you buy helps fund
(13:12):
mental health counseling sessions for teens in need. Tona is
on a mission to and teen suicide and self harm,
which is such an important cause. I have partnered with
Tona to give you twenty percent off your order plus
free shipping. Just head to tonaactive dot com and use
code iHeart at checkout. Do you guys? I mean, I
(13:38):
know what I see on the show, But.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
We both grew up in traditional households where like the
dad's work, but also the moms worked, but also our
moms cooked, clean, did laundry, chuck the kids.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
So when we got together.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
It just it kind of happened very naturally. That I mean,
we both worked and then I took on cooking. I
don't like to cook, but I do it, cooking, clean,
doing laundry. That man could be standing in the laundry
room and still not know that it's the laundry room.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
But that's the only thing I don't know. Cleaning and cooking,
also laundry.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Though you don't do the dishes, you know inside.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
You can put them in the dishwasher.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
I do know. I put them in the that's doing dishes.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
I'm also like with my Drette syndrome, very tight daoud
certain things like I like things lined up the way
it is, so he's done, but I always have to
fix it because.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
That's just me.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Works in my benefits because now I can do It's
okay with me if I can do it right.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Uh huh. Do you feel like you don't like to
cook because you have to? Yeah, become a chore.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Hey, I do it every other day, and but we
cook in both because we have dinner and then I
have lunch to send for two kids and him, and.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Then I don't want to cook again.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Like I make probably what ten pounds of meat at
a time, like it lasts for two days.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
See your organized Ceei.
Speaker 2 (15:05):

the day and I don't enjoy.

I can't just like mixed up. I make the coffee though, usually.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
So I mean today I made your coffee. You didn't
feel like, yeah, I made you one time. One time.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Most of the time, it's I always wake up early
to go to the bathroom. It's like clockwork every single
day at five time to go to the bathroom and
then I can't go back to sleep, and then the
kids hear.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Me, Emma, emma, are you up?
Speaker 2 (18:03):
I am now, so they they always call me first
every day between six and six thirty, they're up.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
None of them sleep with you, guys, correct. No.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
From the beginning, that was one of the rules that
we were very good about.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
That you both agreed on or was that your rule?
Speaker 3 (18:20):
I mean in the beginning she didn't agree on it,
but it was the right rule.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Four months, I mean they were like in a maadcinet
and then it's four months at.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Them and they're correct.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
The first three months, yeah, they were in our room,
but in the best and that in the little thing.
Next year I did inside the bad.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
But like when they were babies, if they had a
really rough night, they would come into our room.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
We still had that there, so but they don't.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
We did have recently family sleepover though, got question. I
had a family sleepover with the kids because they tossed and.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Turned family sleepover in your own house.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Okay, wait, for the first time all three of them.
We put on a movie and had a movie snack
and did a family sleepover and Alex five minutes later
is like, I'm good is left in there? Because they
just tossed and turned and I got kicked in.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
And they always end up the other way. Yes, but
they started vertical and ended up horizontal. I don't know how.
I don't know how. Oh my gosh. So when my
husband and I were married, that was his rule as well,
that not have the kids in bed. Obviously, same thing,
you know, for six months we put them in their room,
(19:38):
their crib and sleep train them and everything.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
But share the same room. Even our daughter. They we
have like, yeah, we have a bed. It's like a
corner bed and then it has a fundule. She wants
to sleep with my boys, her boys. My boys, come on, boys,
let's go to bed.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
She the boss. Oh my god. She was satu, what
do you mean. I see the photos of your videos
and you doing her hair.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
And I am doing her hair.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
But she listens to him, and if they know, she
laughs at me and he says no, She's okay.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
I get a door growing up, first door. Hun So
if you want more sleepovers, you can help them. I'll
stay down here on the coach, thank you.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Oh my gosh. Because they do. They grow so fast,
you know, now we do.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
We have three different carpools, and Shy.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
You can't.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
I can't even get out of the car, so it
doesn't come running to me anymore. And like you don't
realize that it's going to be the last day of
him running to you or running to you or something
like thank god my daughter still runs me and Astra
still runs me. But Shy, like I can't, you don't
realize it.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
I know they all change at different ages. Look at her.
You know what I love about the two of you
is you always express so much in your faces, like
I can tell what each of you are thinking saying
a word.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
I said, Okay, you can do this.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Now that I know, they're not used to sleeping in
our beds, so it's not going to become something they're
gonna come every day.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
So once in the sleep over sleepover, we also do
family workouts every day. Now, wow, God, b Alex comes
home and the kids get so excited. They all take
their clothes off and they're all in their underwear and
we have a rook where I'm doing the squats.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
The three of kids and me.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
We hold hands and we do twenty squats and then
we swap to do twenty push ups and we do
twenty crunches and we all like rotate the site and
they love it.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
Finally started. I do this every day for years already.
I come home, I tag off my clothes and that's
what I do. I get a little push a bar
and a little thing and I do like a twenty
five minute workout And the kids always just play and
jump on me and bother me.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
But now they finally started working out.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Then they love it. But they have to have their thought.
They can't have clothes on, and.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
They know it.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Does it? Does it bother you? When he puts like
thirst trap pictures on social media, like on Instagram.

they want. Like, honestly, I know he's attractive. I know
he's a good body. He works very hard. Right.
Speaker 1 (22:34):

picture of Lauren in a bathing suit any day over

I me and girls girl, and like she's my jam,

We have to maintain it.
Speaker 1 (23:18):

Speaker 2 (23:19):
Years already since my surgery, and I loved I would
do it again. It was the best decision I made
for myself, for my kids, for my family, like it
was such a boost. But again, I work out also
every day.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
I do pilates five days a week.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Then I do this family workout, and I'm always on
the go, like I'm never just sitting because if I do,
it's like the vacuum then sees me, or this fish
is staring at me and I gotta clean it.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Like there's always.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Something to do, you know. But I mommy makeover doctor,
it was a tough wor I mean for me for
the first month, I was living my best life.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
I would like here, but I wasn't here.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
So it's enough.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
He'll turn me through quickly, exactly what you had done
for our listeners that don't know what a mommy make
over is.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
So for my mommy makeover, I did a tummy tup.
I had a Donald dice fasis and since I was
under I figured I might as well. I ended up
doing a three sixty lightpo It was a little bit
on my chin, my arms, upper back, lower back, and thighs,
and then I took that fat ended up that transfer
to my booths, which didn't hold. So in that aspect,
(24:30):
I'm back to square one.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
That that was all that going to do.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
When she I mean, Alex, you seemed pretty traditional. So
when she mentioned to you that she was interested in
doing this, what was your response?
Speaker 4 (24:45):
Yeah, I mean, to be honest, she mentioned it way
before we ever had kids. Like from the moment we
started like being.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Serious, much like one day we have kids.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
I'm having mom makeover.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
So like back then, years ago, I just like brushed
it off and I kind of knew that she's gonna
do it.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
At some point I tried to convince her against it.
I didn't want her to do it.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
I wanted her to just because because before the mommy makeover,
she went into like a.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Whole like a wellness, wellness life changing style things. She
started working out.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
We started, both of us because I until that also
wasn't like too much into it.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
We started looking into food what's healthy? What's healthy? We
started working out more.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
I lost twenty five or twenty six pounds in a year,
and she was doing it.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
So for me, I was like, just keep doing that.
You're not gonna want the like me the mom makeover
or want to do nothing.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
But then we went I had like a drip that
and also I did had they have that since my
muscles just were so far separated and I wasn't comfortable,
and if I was under her mind as well, and
she wanted.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
Book healthy, that was eighty percent of the sort do
still want.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
I still want implants, but for health reasons I've been
advised not to. So for now, you know, I'm just blending.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
They're overrated. Let me tell you your your fashionable. The
clothes just don't fit the same after implants, That's what
I hear. Yeah, Like if I had to do it
over again, I would never have gotten my boobs done. Billy. Yeah.
But now they've been in there, I've had two surgeries
and it's like I'm told if I take them out,
(26:37):
the skin will just be like completely saggy. Like it
is amazing.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Though we have a phenomenal He's like a guru, really.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Really Okay, well into your d MS and find out
just slam. He doesn't.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
He doesn't explant every single day he's been mush.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Do you realize that one day, just because I've been
through it, that your children will see the reality shows,
they will see your journey, they will see their journey
when they were young, and they will see your fights.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
So we are just getting to that point where Shy
started asking are we on TV? Because we've never spoken
to them about it. They know our friends that the
cameras come, they know we call all the producers of
our uncles and yeah, and I had the same and
we don't have tablets in our house or anything. So
(27:35):
I haven't really I mean, I knew it's gonna happen,
but I see it in mind mind. I'm thinking like ten,
maybe twenty years from now, we're going to be able
to say like we were the cool parents, like the
cool grandparents, you know.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
So I haven't really thought about.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
I mean them yet. I think I think about it.
I think, yeah, I told you I thought about it.
I hope they are okay with it, That's all I
can say. I mean, I just you know they're not
going to say, oh, why did you do this to us.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
I also think that for us, they will.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
Even if they don't mean it, they're going to say
to us, and it's gonna upset us, even if they
don't really at some point we're going to have an
argument about something with with with any of them and
they go, oh, you did this, Like they're going to
use it against us at some point.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
It's shack.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
But I will say, for us, it's really truly what
you see is what you get, Like, we don't fabricate anything.
We don't we're I'm told, we'll just say like we're
really just Laurena Alex.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Really I can tell. And maybe because I've done reality TV,
Like when I watch you guys, it feels completely authentic,
and I think that's why I relate it to you
so much. But yeah, it's starts. Here's where it starts.
And your kids aren't at this age yet, but they'll
start to come home. I mean you said that, are
(28:55):
we on TV? Because it's the parents that will recognize you,
and then they will tell the kids, And I'm like,
why are they telling the kids?
Speaker 4 (29:04):
And the kids parents in their classes watch the show
with their kids and then the kids see shy or
USA or whatever on TV and then they come to
school the next band they ask him, oh, I saw
you on TV. And so then shot comes back and
I said, are you on TV? And we're like, no, no,
that's that's nothing. We're able to brush it off for now,
but not for long.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Yeah, yeah, and and oh gosh, and my kids have
seen the fights, and it's things I didn't think about
because I was My husband and I were the same way,
completely authentic, and if we got into a fight, the
cameras rolled, and you know, I didn't believe in hiding things.
And you know now they see that on social media
and they see the clips and they're like horrified. But
(29:48):
I'm talking like my like seventeen and eighteen year old,
not my younger ones, but it like what.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Do what do you do? What do you acpt with them?
Speaker 1 (29:57):
And sometimes they still get like my eight year old
he was born on TV and always called him monkey.
I still call him Monkey's name's Liam. He allows me to,
but well he gets recognized even without me sometimes and
people be like are you monkey? And I'm like, oh
my god, I'm sorry, dude. When she's okay with it.
(30:19):
It was my daughter Stella, who's seventeen now that at
one point she said, why do you put us on TV?
Speaker 3 (30:28):
Why do you?
Speaker 1 (30:28):
And I said, I was telling my story. That was
my journey, and it gave us. Honestly, I always loved
doing reality TV because I got a chance to do
things with my kids and be with my kids more
than I would have if I had to go somewhere
else and do another show or another type of job.
So I enjoyed those years. But she's I said, it
(30:50):
was my story to tell in my journey, and I
hope you understand that. One day and everything I put
out there, I felt the need to do it for me,
and she goes, but it's not your would she say,
but it's not your job to tell my story. Oh
that's when I was like, oh, And I said, you know,
(31:14):
it was when you were younger, and you know, I'm
sorry you feel that way, And she said, so you.
And she even said about this podcast when I first started,
You're going to be talking about like your life and
our lives that affects us at school. And I said,
you know what, in the position I'm in, people talk
about us no matter what, So I'd rather have them
(31:34):
here from me.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
My version it's so true. It doesn't come from the source,
and it's not real. And that's where the problem is
with social media and everything. Everything just gets twisted and
turned like apparently Alex is divorcing me and leaving me
and taking the kids.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
I read that weekly. O hee. That's why I didn't
even ask about divorce because I know it's not true.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
It did come from the source, then it's not true.
So I respect the whole podcast thing. I do, but.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Basically she's saying, there's no easy way to do with.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
It with the kids start, but you guys should do
a podcast.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Oh I cannot answer the question. See I can do questions.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Then I just just the two of you talk, right,
just talk. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
I became even a bigger fan in this last hour
just hearing you guys together, like you're telling the spectacular
and you have control and you know on TV they edit.
Do you ever see I know you don't see the episodes,
but you've given the option to see the episodes before
they air.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
No, no, not before they are No, we don't know
what it's going. I air like.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Episode and hear what we look like what it air
is like in the end.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
In general, sometimes you know, like still after THEIRS, I
still don't know exactly how they showed what because you
know it's it's it's all true and it all happened, but.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
They make it right. That's what you don't know, and
it can take out of context.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
Yeah, a little bit of context gets lost sometimes, which
is fine.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
It is what it is. But you know, you never
know how you're going to look in Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
So happily ever after every Sunday it's airing now. I
have seen some fights. I've seen some like and I
never even see you guys fight. You know what I
like best? I like best when you had your own show.
I was really sad they didn't continue with that name. Yeah,
(33:45):
because that's that's why I wanted to see. Because you know,
when you watch ninety Day Fiance Happily ever after, you
know both of them, you have your favorite couples and
pillow talk, but you like, you had your own show
and your you're my favorite couple. And I was like,
oh my gosh, I want to see this go on
and on and on.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
I'm trying to manifest Lauren and Alex the other way,
oh man, the other way.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Yeah, that that we have.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
We've had some talks about a move.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Just we're trying to figure out which one, and I'm
trying to manifest to Lauren and Alex the other way.
Speaker 4 (34:20):
That means we're going to have to go to Israel
right by the other's.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
What's the other place? Can you move to? L A
I'll produce this show.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Oh right.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Either we go somewhere where we don't know somebody and
we can like enjoy life and experience it together, or
we go somewhere where it's like here but we have
all the support and struggles and family and friends, go
to Israel.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
I was nervous when you guys were going to move there.
I wasn't Oh oh my god. We were just there
and I didn't want to leave it. Really, I've never been.
I've always wanted to go.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
It's amazing, it's amazing. But the problem with this is
still damage.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
It's like I'm stopping us.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
It's more expensive than Miami.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
What is that true? Yes, Okay, Miami's expensive, Israel's expensive.
So what about I think Lauren and Alexi go to Hollywood.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Expensive to.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
No more than Miami.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
Yes, we could definitely do it. California doesn't know we
want to go like somewhere we see you.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Guys like a little bit of a simple life, Like
I want to see you guys on a farm with
the three kids. We can't. You just tell me the
other place that you were thinking about. I can't play anyone.
We've never been and we've been talk about it. There's
two places.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
I don't know why comes up.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
There's a big Jewish community. We have a lot of
people visited there. And also it's like affordable and family friendly.
I've been doing all the chat cheepy teeing and conversations,
but being an expat and how to even start. We
just he wants like nature and I'm like not a
nature person, but I like the beach. But I also
need like cities. So that's where the problem comes. And
(36:12):
we don't have help, but we can enjoy life. I
think it's just like kind of a dream to be.
Speaker 4 (36:17):
It's gonna happening quiet place somewhere and some island or
some small town with the little I will have some
animals over there.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
The kind of animals.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
Yeahs.
Speaker 4 (36:33):
First of all, you need eggs and then to eat it,
and then maybe some some gold, you know, some milk
you make.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
Yeah, I'm gonna make goat. I make better, but I
don't make goats. Well, you're described, you're describing my life.
You hear that I raised my kids having chickens, goats, pigs,
go The chickens were great because I had younger ones
that wouldn't eat eggs. And I was like, okay, maybe
(37:02):
and if you have a little chicken mobile coop anywhere.
And I was like, hey, maybe if we get a
chicken and you can go and like see the chicken
and collect the eggs. He eats eggs now.
Speaker 4 (37:12):
So I just want, like, like you said, simple life,
quite life without too much stress, the hustle and basle.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
Maybe not forever, maybe for like that's.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
Just one season. Yeah, I have so many. This season
you need to get worn and get worn on this farm.
Speaker 4 (37:33):
This season defeats the purpose. Why no, not a few seasons?
Why needs no stress, no camera and nothing?
Speaker 3 (37:41):
Why?
Speaker 1 (37:42):
Oh then what's the point?
Speaker 3 (37:44):
Right?
Speaker 1 (37:48):
Lauren and I are just doing practical.
Speaker 3 (37:52):
Every practical too is you go to a place like this.
It's not expensive. You don't need this season. You can relax.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
He wanted to like go to Thailand and like literally
go off the grid. And I'm like, never even been
he's been, I have not. I'd like to go there
as well.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
So God, I think it's in it the head of
like every.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
That's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
I'm very spiritual and I'm very into like crystals and
pendulum and manifesting, and We've been talking about it for
so long that I think it's.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
Going to happen, like, oh, manifest it.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
I watch it even really talking about it. Just where
where in the world is over Barnecks so expensive we
would have been there.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Well. My only advice is I always wanted to do
something like that as well. Do it when the kids
are young, because when I mentioned now moving anywhere else,
they're still like, no, we have our friends, we can
never leave La and exactly, so.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
To do it, like but in the next two to
three years before they go into middle school, go for
a few years, come back and what about a.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Road trip cross country road trip. I'm trying to get
you to LA. I just want to meet you in person.
Speaker 4 (39:01):
I have a job that I love that I work,
you know, I worked nine to five job. And if
I go somewhere he needs to be where I don't
have to do it. We have some stuff here that
that can give us some income and the place like
Costa Rica might be supportable enough for us.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
To just go and nothing.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
But I'm down to come visit. Have you been to
l A Yeah you have Alex you have no, he
has a.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
Long time only for like or we went to a ward.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
We won the MTV Movie Award for like, the Unscripted
Award for Best Reality Romance instead.

Here, how did I miss this? Got this?
Speaker 3 (39:46):

Speaker 1 (39:59):

Speaker 3 (40:11):
We were gonna no, yeah, you're right.
Speaker 4 (40:13):
I was going to buy those floating shelves. Yeah when
