Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, gorgeous. It's La La Kent.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Welcome to Untraditionally Lala. Hello, my loves, Welcome to the
bonus episode of Untraditionally Lala.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
We have such good questions today, and I love it
because we're kind of like all over the place. This
is my first solo bonus episode.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
A lot of cherries being popped this week. For real.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
I'm like, whoa, it's a nice little feeling, little nervous.
It does feel like when I lost my virginity. Okay,
So the first question is what's your favorite part of
being a mom right now? Oh my gosh, that's so
hard to even pinpoint one thing. I think my most
favorite part about being a mom right now is watching

(00:51):
so so says only a year old. So like she's fun,
but like we're still learning. We're still learning a lot.
We're in a learning process. Not saying that Ocean isn't
but Ocean is very much like a little human being
who can go toes with me. She's opinionated, she's like
a little character and she just she is who she is.

(01:12):
And I can sit here and say like, oh, she
got that from me, she got that from him. But
I just think that they come how they are. So
my favorite part about being a mom right now is
watching my kids just turn into like the little humans
that they were born to be. Like, I can already

(01:33):
see how Ocean is going to be when she's older.
The girl has mad stamina. She does not take no
for an answer. It is completely exhausting, and I love
it because I'm like, girl, you are going to go places,
you know when she's such a character. And my mom
has said, like I really want you to set up
a YouTube channel for her, and you guys, this is

(01:56):
where I'm at with it. So Ocean has never been
able to be on TV except for when she was
like a brand new baby, because the other side won't
sign off on it, And like, that's a blessing and a.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Curse for me. It's a curse because she's getting older.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
So if I film anything, I have to say to her,
like you have to go away, and she doesn't quite
understand why.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
But it's a blessing because being.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
A mom is the most sacred thing that I have
and it's not for anyone to judge.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
It's not for anyone to.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Weigh in on what I did wrong, how I could
have done it differently. It's just between myself, my kids,
my household, and I really like it that way. So
although Ocean is very funny and many people think like
you need to put her on TV, she needs to
be on YouTube. This is where my head's at. She's

(02:48):
going to get older, her body's going to change. People
who follow her are going to start experiencing life. Some
will become trolls, others will still stay kind. I just
don't want to put her out there like that. It's
one thing for me to post a twenty four hour
story that literally no one can comment on, or a

(03:10):
cute little photo. It's quite another to literally hand over
content that's just Ocean for people to weigh in on.
I just I want to incubate her mindset. Which homegirl
has hair down to her ass, lashes to the sky.
You cannot tell her anything, and I want to keep
it that way for as long as I possibly can.

(03:33):
The world is going to attempt to break her spirit.
Ocean talks about boys. We're getting into that stage of things,
which is very fucking wild. She had this boyfriend named
Cam at school and they would hold hands and he
painted her a picture and she came home and I

(03:54):
posted about this. I think it was on TikTok, her
telling me how Cam is her boyfriend now, and I
like tech his mom and I was like, hey in
lawn and we both thought it was so funny. She
comes home the next day and I was like, hey, girl,
how's Cam.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
She's He's not my boyfriend anymore. Mom. I go, already,
you already broke up? What happened?

Speaker 2 (04:18):
And she goes, I just thought about it and I
kind of changed my mind.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
Excellent, excellent.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
You are allowed to change your mind in the Bravo universe.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
You guys, you are not allowed to change your mind.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
I can say something right now and people will be
like sea then for you said this now, bitch, you
can change your mind. You can feel one way right now,
and in five minutes.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
You can feel a different way. And I'm cool with that.
What's one thing.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
About you people would be surprised to know? Oh, I
think the one thing people would be surprised to know.
And actually, this conversation came up with someone.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
The other day who is on the valley.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
I won't share more than that, but basically, I think
people think that I come into a situation and that
I like confrontation. I don't like confrontation. I'm very good
at confrontation, but I don't like it. And I think
people think I come in, I go toes and I
feel great about myself. I go home and sleep like
a baby. I will beat myself up for days on end,

(05:27):
months on end when it comes to season eleven, years
on end. I left Season eleven of vander Pump Rules,
and although I felt how I felt in the moment
and for many months after, I was like, I stand
by what I said. It may not have been the
waste anyone wanted me to say it, but it is

(05:49):
what it is. That's how I felt, and I stand
by that sentiment of like, say how you feel.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
Right.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
My whole thing is when I'm facing foreign emotions, which
is very much what was happening all of season eleven,
I just react and then regret. So I'm trying to conquer.
And I've been working on this with my sponsor because
it was a few months ago where I was like,
you know, I just I can't get over and I'm

(06:21):
saying it as season eleven for you guys, because that's
the only way to pinpoint it for you guys.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
At that point, in my life.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
For me, what it was was I was finally the
adrenaline had gone. I was in the fight of my
life for you guys, Season ten and then season eleven
for me was when a time in my life where
I was coming to grips with the fact that this
was my life. I was having to share my kid.
The adrenaline had worn off. I was angry, and I

(06:49):
didn't want to be angry anymore because I had a
child that I didn't want her to see me as
an angry person, and so we went the complete opposite way.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
There was no balance.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
Everything was so foreign to me, and I was doing
the best that I could, and I knew going into
film a show when I was in that state of
mind was not good, and I still did it, and.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
That was my life path.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
But the aftermath of that and the anger that I felt,
along with all the guilt that I felt, was suffocating,
and I had to work through it with my sponsor,
and you know, for so long I could not stop
fixating on it.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
And I think that's.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
What people would be most surprised by, is like, you
don't need to beat me up over anything, you guys,
Like I got that handled, like no one's gonna knock
me out quicker than I will knock myself out. I'm
a thinker and overthinker, which is another reason why I
wanted to do the Preneuvo scan was I'm like, the
amount of stress that I put on myself on a

(07:50):
regular basis is going to take its toll on me.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
When I was a vapor my mom was like, you
gotta give up the vape. It's going to kill you.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
I'm like, the stress I feel is gonna kill me
way before this fucking vape.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
Trust me.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
That's what people would be surprised by. Also, I love
my knee caps massaged. I think that people would think
that's weird. It's the fucking best. Get on down there
to those knee cabs. Boy, if you could go back

(08:27):
to your first season on Vanner Pump Rules, what advice
would you give yourself?

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Not a one fucking thing. Chef's kiss, no notes. I
wish I.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
Could go back and be that fucking cool again. She
did not give one shit. I watch it and I
cringe and I'm like, oh, wow, you're committed.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
You're committed to the bit.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
However, that first season that I was on Vanner Pump Rules,
which is season four for me.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
I was so insecure.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
I was broken out, and I really I had to
like fake confidence. I faked it until I made it,
and then we went a little too confident. Then the
head was like in the clouds. I would have told her, like,
it's I know you're having a great time. Maybe I
would have told her to not hit the bottle as
hard because I really wish I could like have just

(09:14):
a drink with someone instead.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
I'm like, how's that drink? I'm going to hit a meeting.
It's all good, though. Uh, if you.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Could collab with any celebrity on a project, who would
it be?

Speaker 1 (09:27):
Larry David? Larry David?

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Larry David because there is no one like him. There
is no one funnier. He is completely effortless. He's uncancellable,
which is fucking awesome. If you guys have not watched
every season of Seinfeld and every season of Curved, you
are really messing up. I would die to work with him.

(09:54):
I just find him to be a fucking genius. Also,
there's a new one though, you guys. It's called Bad
Friends with Andrew Santino and Bobby Lee Easton. My brother
introduced me to this comedian and the first one I
watched was Cheese Burger on Netflix.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
Hysterical I die.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
Yesterday I listened to his Hulu stand up and it's
called Andrew Santino White Noise. Highly recommend. I would die
to work with him too, die. He's so fucking hysterical.
I'm not going to tell his jokes on here because
it's just not gonna hit the same, But please go
watch I beg of you so we can all talk

(10:34):
about it. Do you ever still have moments where the
thought of drinking crosses your mind? And if so, how
do you handle those feelings? They're not often, but yes,
there are moments where I will sit there and watch
someone like crack a hard Seltzer or have a glass
of rose. It's only during the day, though, you guys
like I used to love day drinking because then I

(10:55):
could still implement my nighttime routine. You know, I'm a
creature of routine, Get drunk, shake it off bed by seven.
And in those moments, I can only count on one
hand where I've been like we need to empty the minibar.
That was probably in twenty twenty. I had that moment
in Puerto Rico, where I was like, I'm gonna drink

(11:16):
and no one's gonna know. And I called the front desk.
I said, I need someone to immediately come and clear
out the minibar, and they did.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
They called my sponsor. We talked through it.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
That was the biggest one since then. There was one
moment where I called my sponsor and I knew I
wasn't going to be able to stay sober for myself
in that moment, I was going to have to stay
sober for something.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
Bigger than me, which that was ocean.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
So they don't come around often, but I know the
days are looming, and I know the Beast is never
gonna be conquered, like she's always gonna win. That motherfucker
is aggressive, she has stamina. The moment I feed into her,
I'm gonna be fucking chaoed and not on my watch.
I have such That's a fantastic new sponsor. By the way, too,

(12:02):
if you could play matchmaker for Easton, what type of
partner would you set him up with? So Eathan's very chill,
he would need someone with a lot of drive. Not
saying he's not driven, but he is just like the
best time the brightest delight, and you know there are
people that are like, he's got the most brilliant ideas,

(12:26):
and I know that he is going to.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
Take one of them and just like fucking crush it.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
But he needs someone who balances him out because he's
a fucking good time. He needs someone to kind of
put him back on the train tracks physically Madison Beer.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
But then I may have to steal her.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
From him, so that wouldn't be good because I'm a winner, guys,
I'm a winner. How is your relationship with LVP today?
LVP and I are so thick. I'm actually so glad
someone wrote this because I actually.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Need to call her.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
She has always just been so supportive of me and
so kind, and I think there are things out there
about her from certain people where I'm like, okay, that's
your experience, but for it to be an overall, you know,
I'm really into this thing right now and I don't
know how it happened, but I'm like, depends on who
you ask. People are like, La, La, you're a raging

(13:29):
I'm like, maybe depends on who he asks.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
You could ask this person.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
They could say I'm absolutely fucking wonderful, just depends on
who you ask for me. I'm being asked if Lisa
vander Pump is freaking fantastic. Lisa vander Pump is freaking fantastic.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
I like what she.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
Believes in stands for when it comes to the dogs.
She and I are thick, and I hope it stays
that way. If you and Shena weren't on speaking terms,
would you still let ocean in summer moon have playdates?

Speaker 1 (14:11):
Absolutely. My whole thing in all of this is I.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
Want my kid to always be prioritized, and my kid
enjoys summer moon. Sheena and I are in a very
strange place, but there was a shift where I kind
of went er.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
I don't know about this. I love her, She's like family.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
I am very disappointed on how she has gone about
certain things. She and I are obviously not in a
great place. She said it put friendships into perspective based
on who posted her book. She didn't talk about the
times that I've sat in a car and cried with

(14:58):
her about the situation that she wrote in her book.
She didn't talk about the message that I sent to
her about how fucking proud I am of.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
Her that she wrote this book.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
Put her heart out there and made it to the
New York Times bestseller list.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
That is not easy.

Speaker 2 (15:17):
But because none of that was public, it's not good
enough for her.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
And I want to shake her at times.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
Because in the past two years I have had to
do a lot of soul searching, and I have had
to own my part in a lot of situations that
I didn't want to own my part.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
I wanted to place blame. I wanted to say, but
you did this. We have come a long way with she.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
And I want to shake her because it's like you.
You have a husband who's absolutely wonderful. He may not
have done wonderful things, but he has made massive changes
for you, and that's a beautiful thing. You chose to
stick with him. That is absolutely incredible and wonderful. You

(16:05):
have a beautiful, healthy little girl. You've got both your parents,
your sister's coolest fuck what are you.

Speaker 1 (16:13):
So mad about? All the time you made your book hit.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
The biggest fucking list that a book can possibly hit,
You've got a fantastic podcast.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
Why do you continue to.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
Try to scrape at the bottom of the barrel to
find the shit?

Speaker 1 (16:33):
I want her to take.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
A moment to self reflect and figure out what makes
her tick and what keeps her happy.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
Genuinely happy. This is all gonna fade.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
There's gonna be a day, y'all, where no television show exists,
the podcasts are over, the brand deals are done, no
one gives a fuck about Instagram. What do you want
when it's all over? How do you want your life
to be? I want to shake. I have fucked up
in the past, so have you. The difference is I

(17:03):
don't point out every fuck up that you have because
it's not worth it. Because I know you're a good person.
You should know I'm a good person.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
It makes me so just like you think I just
bought a.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
House next to you because I just like thought that
would be fun. No, that means I fuck with you
really hard, and we should have duped this out behind
the scenes. And my friendship to you should not be
based off of If I posted your book in the
proper timeline, you're setting me up for failure every time.

(17:38):
And let me be very clear, y'all. I posted the book,
the book was posted. She's upset that I didn't post
it in the proper timeline. I am not a robot.
You don't click in what you need from me. I'm
a person with a life. I posted the book when
you announced it for a pre order, and I did

(17:58):
post the book when I got it. But nothing I
do or anyone else does, will ever be good enough.
And I really really hope that she can take a
moment to reflect on why that is.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
Sena.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
I love you, I'm sorry if I've fucked up. What
advice would you give to women who want to have
a child on their own?

Speaker 1 (18:24):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
My advice would be to really really sit on it,
think about it, and really think about do I want
to be a mom?

Speaker 1 (18:34):
Do I want to.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
I don't want to say live for someone else, but
there's a period of time that you do live for
someone else. Literally, your life is not your life anymore.
There are dudes that I want to go and freaking
kick it with, But guess what, I got kids, So like,
you can't come over here because I'm not going to
bring you around my kids and I'm not going to
leave my kids to spend time with you. You really do

(18:57):
give up a massive piece of who you are. You
have to truly truly want kids. And I ask people
I've asked Katie Maloney this I think. I asked Brinn,
who used to be on Real Housewives of New York.
I said, do you want kids or do you want
a family? And I put that in quotes because I
have a family. It just looks different from most people's.

Speaker 1 (19:18):
It's untraditional.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
And both of those people said, I would like to
have a husband who I create a family with.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
Great.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
We know that a donor would never be for you
if you want kids, period.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
I just want kids.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
Highly recommend, highly recommend. I love doing motherhood on my own.
Are you thinking of getting another tattoo in the near future?
If I have one more child, I'll get another tattoo.
I already have the name picked out. It's a pretty
sick name and no one would guess it. Everyone was
trying to guess, So it's this name, and it was
like sailor spear, it was like all of these like

(19:55):
ocean things.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
I'm like no.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
But then I come out with the name and everyone
first was like, so that means cocaine, like your drug
addict is showing. How the fuck would you know that?
But Sosa actually means saltwater in Portuguese. How wild? That's
the fucking universe. I don't want any more tattoos unless
I have another baby. I had got Sosa's name, and
then I got a bit tiny like la on my hand.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
And I just want to be done.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
Like now I'm starting to look like I have stickers
all over my body, and that's exactly what I didn't want.
It's like, I don't want to look like I have
stickers on my body, so put little tiny tattoos all
over my body. Fuck?

Speaker 1 (20:31):
Are you talking about you? Guys?

Speaker 2 (20:35):
I want to remind you please slide into my dms,
make sure you comment. Let me know like what you
guys want to be talking about on this podcast. Remember
I'm not talking at you, I'm talking with you. I
want to open the conversation. You guys are my pod.
You guys are my homies, so please weigh in. I'm
with a different team, so your dms are most certainly

(20:57):
going to be seen.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
So if you're being an uber bitch, just no, I
won't see it. Won't see it. I love you guys
so much.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
Have the best freaking week, fibabes,
