Speaker 1:
[00:00] Hello, gorgeous, it's Lala Kent. Welcome to Untraditionally Lala. Hello, gorgeous, welcome back to Untraditionally Lala. I'm finally feeling like a whole person again.

Speaker 2:
[00:13] I start to lose my wits about me when I'm gone for too long.

Speaker 1:
[00:17] I've just come to the realization, and I've said this, like, there's going to come a point in time where like, mom's going to want to like, who the hell am I kidding, she's never going to want to leave. But there will come a point in time where like, you want to go and fly free after, yeah, and it'll happen, and I know that. But today, I'm going to need nobody to leave the gates of this house. Oh, that's fine with me. It sends me into panic. I don't like it. I'm happy you had a good time.

Speaker 2:
[00:52] No, I did, but I will be honest. Should we talk about my festivities?

Speaker 1:
[00:57] I want to talk about your festivities, but I want that to lead into what Coachella, like what people were saying about week two and get your take on it. Easton went to Coachella, but he left on Thursday at like noon because traffic was what, like four or five hours.

Speaker 2:
[01:15] I got home on Monday night at 830 because traffic was, it was like a three and a half, four hour drive until then. So I just waited it out.

Speaker 1:
[01:26] Yeah, and what, you got home in two hours. I mean, it was quick. By the time I had like gotten myself ready for bed, you walked in the door and I heard front door has been opened or whatever.

Speaker 2:
[01:36] And I was like, my favorite thing in the world.

Speaker 1:
[01:38] I like hauled ass out of bed every time.

Speaker 2:
[01:42] Every time I go out and like movie, go out with friends. My dog usually is in the main house. So I got to come and get the big guy.

Speaker 1:
[01:49] Pablo.

Speaker 2:
[01:50] Yeah. So I will open the front door and front door open. And the first thing I see is just a door open and a head pop out. She goes, just making sure it's you. And it's like, if it wasn't, what's your game plan?

Speaker 1:
[02:06] Fuck you. What? Obviously, my body. I turn into a raging woman.

Speaker 2:
[02:13] Dylan Sprouse.

Speaker 1:
[02:14] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[02:14] Did you hear about that? No, I just read about it.

Speaker 1:
[02:16] OK, what happened?

Speaker 2:
[02:17] His house got robbed.

Speaker 1:
[02:19] Someone came in? An intruder?

Speaker 2:
[02:21] Yeah. Something's going on in the world where...

Speaker 1:
[02:26] People just think they can roll up in your house unannounced.

Speaker 2:
[02:28] Not only that, streamers, a whole bunch of live streamers who a lot of people just watch throughout the day who are going and doing this. We all know them. They're getting attacked. There was just a dude live streaming in New York and a guy just comes up and punches him.

Speaker 1:
[02:41] What?

Speaker 2:
[02:41] Yeah. Another Marlon who most people know. A beautiful looking man and he's young. I want to say, yeah, he's like 21, 23. Too young. Yeah, no. But he's like in Paris and people come up to him in mass and they're pressing him and his girlfriend while they're like, or this girl he's with. But because when you're live streaming, they know where to find you.

Speaker 1:
[03:03] Right. Totally. Obviously.

Speaker 2:
[03:04] I don't know if this is like a fab that's going on with just people following and doing that, but like a lot of streamers and like.

Speaker 1:
[03:12] I'm saying Dylan Sprouse like tackled the intruder.

Speaker 2:
[03:15] I know, but famous people, I feel like, are just getting attacked right now.

Speaker 1:
[03:18] Yeah, no, it's scary. I mean, a lot of housewives have experienced it. I mean, I was watching the news today and there were a couple intruders that came into homes at night with people home.

Speaker 2:
[03:30] You would be a Dylan Sprouse, you'd be a tackler of the intruder.

Speaker 1:
[03:34] I'm doing more than tackling you, buddy. Like I said, you'll be the one surprised. Because like I said, you're going to roll in here, you're not going to find shit because I don't keep anything in the house anymore.

Speaker 2:
[03:42] You're going to find two pit bulls.

Speaker 1:
[03:43] Since all of the houses that you see like on Housewives and it's like so-and-so got, you know, had an intruder. I don't feel comfortable in the world at this point in time.

Speaker 2:
[04:00] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[04:00] But if you are that type of person, you should feel more uncomfortable with me if you enter my space. How did it lead to that? Me coming home. Okay. So Pablo's at the front door, hackles raised, then he sees your face and he's like so excited. I love everything. You know, the dogs actually really struggled while you were gone.

Speaker 2:
[04:20] Guys, can we talk about that?

Speaker 1:
[04:22] Because we kept Bernice.

Speaker 2:
[04:23] So we split the dogs up.

Speaker 1:
[04:26] I missed you. I'm happy you're back.

Speaker 2:
[04:27] No, I missed you guys. I think five days is the max limit that I can do without seeing my family.

Speaker 1:
[04:33] I think seven, a whole week. That's a good amount. It's like you miss, you want to come home, but it's a nice solid vacation. The desert five days is plenty.

Speaker 2:
[04:42] That's how I was feeling. Especially after a festival. It kind of felt like Vegas. We got to get that out of here. You know, it's like the vibe is high now.

Speaker 1:
[04:50] Friday afternoon, out Sunday morning, bye, totally. So Sosa has been doing this thing. She is such a character, you guys.

Speaker 2:
[05:01] New child since I've been going.

Speaker 1:
[05:03] No, she is turning in to the funnest human on the planet. And I've said, like, she's very high strung. She's high maintenance. And she's still like all of those things, but she's got such a sweet and carefree personality, just like a free spirit, which I don't think I, I don't know how I was at her age. Like she's still very young. But when I describe Sosa, and this warms my heart, because you guys know that I conceived her via donor. So she was just a very well thought out process and very much wanted beyond words. She is just happy to be here. Like the way she looks at everybody, she's like, you know what? Pretty happy my mom decided to do this.

Speaker 2:
[05:50] No, every time she sees something, she's seen it for the first time, it feels like.

Speaker 1:
[05:54] She's a brand new soul. But I mean, I'm just so obsessed with her right now. And she walks around the house and she's so funny when she's just in her own.

Speaker 2:
[06:04] She's very into glasses too. She loves wearing glasses.

Speaker 1:
[06:07] She loves wearing glasses, goes into Ocean's room, she puts them on, wears them around, they're rose colored, takes them off and goes, whoa. Like she cannot believe the transition in like just color. Right? It's like rose colored glasses, real life, puts them back on. Life truly is better through rose colored glasses. But she's been doing this thing, cause we talk, I say, mama loves Sosa, and so I'll say mama loves, and she'll say, Sosa. Now she has started saying, I love me. And Easton thinks she's trying to say, I love you, but she points at herself. Does I love, cause I'll say, I love you, and she'll go, I love me. Good.

Speaker 2:
[06:50] Where did that come from?

Speaker 1:
[06:51] Oh, he did too.

Speaker 2:
[06:52] Jesus Christ. Two of them now.

Speaker 1:
[06:55] We are, Sosa and I are the same person.

Speaker 2:
[06:58] Yeah, can't wait.

Speaker 1:
[07:00] There, we went-

Speaker 2:
[07:01] Oh my God. I just thought about it heavily.

Speaker 1:
[07:03] Yeah, it's going to be a lot, but there was, we went to a play date the other day, and the dad of one of the kids looks at me and goes, your kid is like annoyingly beautiful. Like she makes other babies look ugly. I died cause I'm like, obviously that's not true, but obviously that makes me feel really good. And you can't give credit to anybody but me, right?

Speaker 2:
[07:25] Well, there is somebody that we can give credit.

Speaker 1:
[07:27] We don't know him, and if you can't see him, he don't exist, right? Santa Claus. You can't see it. The Easter Bunny. It don't exist.

Speaker 2:
[07:36] Tooth Fairy.

Speaker 1:
[07:38] Don't let your kids listen to this. Don't be listening to this in the car. But I thought that that was really funny. And also a weird thing. So Sosa is obsessed. She has four fake phones, you guys. They're fake.

Speaker 2:
[07:52] They do nothing. And they make sounds. Like there's little beads in it.

Speaker 1:
[07:56] Exactly.

Speaker 2:
[07:57] It's a Rattler phone.

Speaker 1:
[07:59] She is so addicted to these phones. She has to have all four at all times. And when you take them from her, she loses her mind.

Speaker 2:
[08:07] Well, she's going to be a very important person in due time. And she'll have all four phones.

Speaker 1:
[08:13] It was wheeling and dealing in swim lessons. I took the phone from her, put her in the pool. She would not stop crying. Finally, we just gave her the phone to keep in the pool. She had a death grip on it. She would kick her legs, but anytime you had to use your arm, she wouldn't move.

Speaker 2:
[08:26] We'll get there.

Speaker 1:
[08:28] And she was like pretending to use it, pretending in the pool and like taking...

Speaker 2:
[08:32] Yeah, calling 911. She was like drowning me.

Speaker 1:
[08:34] Hello? Ditch drowning me? That's not true. She was wheeling and dealing. But then I turned on the news because I'm like, what is it about this like fake phone? I could see kids getting addicted. Well, I'm curtailing that. And then also the Los Angeles...

Speaker 2:
[08:48] What do they see?

Speaker 1:
[08:49] It's always us.

Speaker 2:
[08:50] Us on the computer, us on our phone. It's work, but you know, it is what it is.

Speaker 1:
[08:54] I do understand that. I do get that. Monkey see, monkey do. But I was watching the news today, and there's a bunch of parents who have banned together who are a part of the LA Unified School District. Their kids are in public schools where everyone's using an iPad. And these parents are very concerned because their kids are displaying basically symptoms of addiction when it comes to these. So they're demanding pen to paper, no more electronics. And it has moved so far that we could just put money into it. Yes, to go back because we could be the first school district to pass this.

Speaker 2:
[09:27] From what I understand, did you know that this and I'm going to get this very wrong, but you can do your share it, share it, share half the data.

Speaker 1:
[09:36] Spread misinformation. This ain't Joe Rogan.

Speaker 2:
[09:39] This is the lowest test scores since like, like lower than their parents. And it's the first time that's ever happened. Like you're usually getting higher than your parents, you know, this is the first time they're starting to score lower than the generation before them.

Speaker 1:
[09:55] Well, wow.

Speaker 2:
[09:57] Then it's because technology, that's why they're going to pen and paper again, even though we just spent around like $3 billion to put technology in the schools. And let's just rip that back.

Speaker 1:
[10:06] No, but by the way, I think what these parents are going in is there's an age limit. There's going to be an age limit now because Ocean is displaying little moments where she'll be on the iPad too much and then she catches mad attitude, she starts tweaking out. I told her today, she woke up and asked for the iPad. And I gave it to her while I got Sosa up. And when I told her, when I went to grab it, she like gripped it and like death stared at me. And I looked at her and I told her, I said, I'm not the one, give me the iPad. I'm counting to three. I said one and she, yeah, most people do.

Speaker 2:
[10:41] That was good. That's a good one.

Speaker 1:
[10:42] Yeah. That's good. And so she hands it over at one. I didn't even have to get to two or three. And I go in her room, she's giving me attitude. I said, here's the deal, sis. I'm going to break this down for you. The iPad is no longer today. You're not having it at all today. This is a real problem. You become mean. You don't focus. You don't listen. iPad is done. And I was like very stern to where she was like, okay, mom sounds good.

Speaker 2:
[11:10] Okay.

Speaker 1:
[11:10] But like, but I am, I'm definitely bringing down the hammer on curtailing electronics. Even the fake electronics for Sosa. When she's distracted, they're going in a drawer. Because what happens is she clocks them. It's almost like they have a relationship that's like, they, they, it's like an alien being called to its mothership between Sosa and the faux phones.

Speaker 2:
[11:33] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[11:34] She knows exactly. It's like, No, she's scanning for them. Yeah, no, it's done. We're done. Okay. So let's talk about Coachella. I heard that week two, the performances were way freaking better.

Speaker 2:
[11:47] So tell me what you told me, because I didn't know that, like I knew there was obviously like differences from weekend one and two, but I didn't know.

Speaker 1:
[11:57] I was talking to the gays yesterday because they came over to pool and I just asked them like, how did you feel about Coachella? Because I hadn't seen them since week one or weekend one. And I said, I heard that the second weekend was way better. And they go, yeah, but there's no parties weekend two. And I was like, oh, so is that why you guys go? And they're like, like the festival is fun. But week one is where all the parties are happening and there's really cool people there. Okay, so this is what I've learned. Weekend one is for people who want to go to the parties and the activations and all of these big brands.

Speaker 2:
[12:41] The influencer convention.

Speaker 1:
[12:42] And also the influencers.

Speaker 2:
[12:45] Yep, the convention of influencers.

Speaker 1:
[12:46] That's where all the influencers are. Weekend two, you go if you are really, really down for the cause of what Coachella is and participating in the lineup and all of the music that they have to offer. All of the activations that the brands put up are gone. And you said something about they should do week one for people who care about the music because by the time week two comes and then by the time stage coach comes, the grounds are tore up like no grass, just dirt. But I think they do it that way because all of the influencers are there the first week and they're getting all this content where it looks amazing. It's beautiful. Exactly. So that's what I'm thinking.

Speaker 2:
[13:34] But I mean, give it to the people who love the music, give them the good grass while they're sitting in it and enjoying with their blanket and their significant other while they listen. And yeah, I don't know. That's just my take. Give the music goers who like are die hard a good grass.

Speaker 1:
[13:53] Well, stagecoach is strictly for people who love music because there's only one week. It's like, you come or you miss.

Speaker 2:
[14:00] I really enjoy stagecoach.

Speaker 1:
[14:02] Stagecoach was fun. I took Soso when she was in my belly. But weekend two, Madonna came out with Sabrina Carpenter. It was Olivia Rodrigo with Addison Rae. I can't believe how far Addison Rae has come.

Speaker 2:
[14:15] She was like twerking that ass on TikTok.

Speaker 1:
[14:18] Oh, shit, not twerking that ass.

Speaker 2:
[14:19] On fucking stage.

Speaker 1:
[14:20] Big Sean came out with Justin Bieber and then brought Billie Eilish on stage. And Billie Eilish just turned into a puddle and sobbed. And then she took a picture of herself later. And she was like, I'm still crying. And it was just like a close up of her red eyes. Yeah. She's been like a mega fan for a really long time.

Speaker 2:
[14:38] Who isn't?

Speaker 1:
[14:39] Who isn't?

Speaker 2:
[14:41] No, we deeply, here's the thing. I just streamed it. So we'll get into that.

Speaker 1:
[14:46] But was it amazing?

Speaker 2:
[14:48] I mean, yeah, I saw clips. It's. I don't know. It's like he was reborn.

Speaker 1:
[14:56] What do you mean? In that moment in Weekend 2 or singing to Billie Eilish?

Speaker 2:
[15:00] No, just all of like just everything that he's gone through. And I think like the Coachella stage was his reborn, like he's reborn. He sold all of his old music. We get to see the new him. He was replaying songs. It's almost like, look like what I, like look and see what I survived. And I'm still here.

Speaker 1:
[15:15] Oh my gosh, I have chills.

Speaker 2:
[15:16] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[15:17] Wow, I have chills, Easton.

Speaker 2:
[15:19] No, it was good. I wish, I wish I would have gone.

Speaker 1:
[15:23] Okay.

Speaker 2:
[15:23] I could have Pablo. I love you, dude. I felt too bad. We shouldn't have split the dogs.

Speaker 1:
[15:32] That was you and mom. You guys made that decision. And mom was so concerned about Bernice. She thought that she was going to go. She kept going around the backside of the house and just laying there. And if you guys have seen Marlee and me, that's what she goes outside to a tree to die. I know.

Speaker 2:
[15:48] That's what he was doing. We would get ready to go and we would go to like the house that was close to the grounds to go walk to them or like they golf carted in. And like I was seconds away from getting on. And I was like, I in good, like, can't do it. I have to go back to him.

Speaker 1:
[16:08] Well, because there was a day, I think you talked about where he thought everyone had left and you just heard him crying by himself. It wasn't even me.

Speaker 2:
[16:15] So we all went to get coffee. And one of my friends stayed back to start putting her makeup on and get ready. And she just heard Pablo like in the front room, just crying.

Speaker 1:
[16:25] Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2:
[16:26] And then she said Pablo and she heard him sprinting to like the area. And then he went in and started kissing her and then just sat down by her. And when she, and that was like Friday.

Speaker 1:
[16:35] Oh no.

Speaker 2:
[16:36] And once I heard that, I was like, I'm never, I can't leave this animal.

Speaker 1:
[16:40] Next time, just leave him at home.

Speaker 2:
[16:41] Yeah. Well, mom loved her to death, but she was like, Easton with my hand, like, and Lauren, two dogs is like a lot with kids.

Speaker 1:
[16:49] And Lauren's surgery. That happened like five weeks ago.

Speaker 2:
[16:52] This is what I've been told. And she just said, it's just a lot. Do you, would you mind taking one? I was like, yeah, all right.

Speaker 1:
[16:59] Yeah, no, never again.

Speaker 2:
[17:00] Never again.

Speaker 1:
[17:01] But then you also said that you were about to go and you like went to this house party or something as like a pregame.

Speaker 2:
[17:07] There was points where I was like, I'm going to the festival. And then I would go to the pregame and like, they're drinking, they're doing extracurricular activities. And deep down I was like, oh, this is kind of what the whole night entails. And then I was like, you know what? I am going to go home, hang out with my dog. I got my fix of hanging out with the people, with the pregame. And then I would go home and stream it. And can I tell you, when I would see people's TikToks, when they were like, Justin Bieber got done two hours ago, still waiting for the bus to get out. I was like very happy I didn't go.

Speaker 1:
[17:59] There are just people who are down for the cause and people who are not. And it makes it much easier to be down for the cause when you have... Don't think ahead. No, and when you're also a little fucked up. I did Coachella in my 20s when I had first moved out here pretty much every year. And there was nothing like it, it was magical. But I was also heavily intoxicated, popping edibles, dancing around the grounds, cackling my ass off, having the best time. You think I'm worried about what time the bus gets here? I don't even know where I am. I don't even know what a bus is. Let alone do I understand the concept of time and how it works and sun up, sun down, all the same thing to me. Like I'm on a different planet.

Speaker 2:
[18:39] That would be nice.

Speaker 1:
[18:40] Once, once.

Speaker 2:
[18:41] But I'm all here, baby. And I'm only thinking, while I'm watching the concert, or if I would have been watching it, I would have been thinking getting out of here is gonna suck.

Speaker 1:
[18:51] Exactly.

Speaker 2:
[18:51] And then I wouldn't even enjoy what's going on.

Speaker 1:
[18:53] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[18:54] So I just enjoyed it from my couch.

Speaker 1:
[18:55] Basically sobriety is living so far beyond the moment that you go into a panic and you just end up staying home. It's great.

Speaker 2:
[19:04] Yeah. I even at the house too, I walked to my buddy and I was like, I don't want to be like a party pooper, but I may go home. And they were like, dude, do you, man? All of them were like, you are such an amazing guy. Like to do that for your dog.

Speaker 1:
[19:22] I've been thinking about getting sober.

Speaker 2:
[19:26] That is the one thing. They were like, dude, do you want anything? I was like, no, I'm like, I didn't, I'm not like, yeah, I'm sober. I was like, no, I don't need anything. And then they'd ask again. And then I was like, I'm sober. And then after 30 minutes, do you want a shot or anything? I'm sober. Oh yeah. 30 minutes. So do you need, oh, you're sober, right? I'm going to head home now.

Speaker 1:
[19:44] Immediate bus kill. Can we get the fucking sober guy to go home? Bro, the sober guy said he's leaving. yeah.

Speaker 2:
[19:50] They're like, fuck dude, yes.

Speaker 1:
[19:51] You're such a good guy. Enjoy that.

Speaker 2:
[19:52] You're such a, go to your dog, dude. You're fucking amazing. I left. They were like, God fucking buzz kill.

Speaker 1:
[20:01] By the way, I get it.

Speaker 2:
[20:02] I was killing him.

Speaker 1:
[20:03] I've been a drinker and all the things. And the moment someone would come in and be like, yeah, I'm just not going to drink tonight. I'm like, how do we get them out? I feel like I'm never calling them again. They killed my buzz before the real fun even kicked in.

Speaker 2:
[20:19] Now I got to start from scratch. So we went to Zenyara, which was so fun. They did have like Patron little cute lanyard things that they filled up so you could wear it around your neck and it looked like a little Patron. So they walked up, they grabbed them and they go, and I was like, all right, start chugging. And the guy looked at me and he goes, are you sober? I was like, oh no, this keeps coming back to it, doesn't it?

Speaker 1:
[20:42] No, yeah, I know.

Speaker 2:
[20:43] I'll make other people drink. I'll be the first one to get everyone.

Speaker 1:
[20:45] Because everyone, I'm fun not drinking, but like you not so much. Exactly. I feel the exact same way. Like you don't have to tell me. OK, so how was that party? Apparently, they do that every weekend.

Speaker 2:
[20:59] It was Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

Speaker 1:
[21:01] No, but they do it every weekend in the desert. There's always a party there.

Speaker 2:
[21:04] It was, I mean, it was fun. If I'm not a big EDM, or what is the other one?

Speaker 1:
[21:10] Like house music type stuff?

Speaker 2:
[21:12] House music I can get along with.

Speaker 1:
[21:14] Isn't house music EDM? Electronic dance music?

Speaker 2:
[21:18] I think house is not as aggressive as EDM.

Speaker 1:
[21:22] OK.

Speaker 2:
[21:22] Correct me if I'm wrong. I don't know.

Speaker 1:
[21:23] I don't know either.

Speaker 2:
[21:24] But I'm not into the Diplo or Marshmallow or like... Neat, neat, neat, neat, neat, neat, neat, boom, boom, boom. It's like, oh God.

Speaker 1:
[21:32] Intense.

Speaker 2:
[21:33] So that was going on. It was fun. It was really fun, but lights are blaring. I'm guessing if you were on drugs, it was...

Speaker 1:
[21:41] That's what it's meant for.

Speaker 2:
[21:42] Yeah. So me, I had another sober homie.

Speaker 1:
[21:46] OK.

Speaker 2:
[21:46] So we were just walking around and after an hour and a half, I was like, I want to get the hell out of here or what? And it's what was so crazy is I was talking to the other friends we were with and I looked at them and the clock is at 2 o'clock in the morning. The party closes at 4, but then they have an after right next to it that opens at 5.

Speaker 1:
[22:05] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[22:06] So people were just going to that. And I was like, what's crazy is I'm looking at the clock thinking it is 2 a.m. They were looking at it like it's only 2 a.m. Wait, really? Yeah. That's when I knew I had to get home. We were on different rails. Like I was like, it is 2 and they were like, yeah, it's only 2. I was like, oh, we're different boats. Different boats.

Speaker 1:
[22:29] You know what's wild is I don't know if it's sobriety, if it's children, if it's a combination, but I look back and think like I used to be so much fun. And now when I look at the clock and let's just say it says 745 and I think I'm going to watch Housewives. That's the game plan. I'm going to catch up on Housewives and it's 745. I think that's going to put me at 845, almost nine wrap time. Then I want to do my nighttime routine.

Speaker 2:
[23:00] Which is three hours for me.

Speaker 1:
[23:02] It's a long time.

Speaker 2:
[23:03] I just pitter patter, Hannah.

Speaker 1:
[23:05] Yeah, I dick around. I dick around until I have no more dicking around.

Speaker 2:
[23:11] I dick around, tell them dickless.

Speaker 1:
[23:16] I go in and out of my bathroom probably a hundred times. And I don't even know why.

Speaker 2:
[23:20] I'll put a movie on. I'll walk in my bathroom and it'll make me laugh. And I'll go back out, rewind it and rewatch it while I'm like doing something. And then I'll walk back in laughing.

Speaker 1:
[23:28] Yeah, like I'll look and see a split end. And I'll be like, I'm going to trim my split ends now. And then I'm like, you know what? I'm going to put some oil in my hair. You know what? I'm going to do some sort of tea tree mask. I like tea tree oil mask. I have the best time. But by the time I think about all of that, then I'm exhausted. I'm like, I don't have time to watch Housewives. I got to start now the dicking around. And by the way, you guys know I've had a huge addiction to Unisom for the past. I want to say once my life took a turn and I just couldn't sleep, Unisom became my best friend and I've never experienced, especially when I'm having a very, very stressful day and I know how it's going to end. I'm not going to be able to sleep. I'll finally fall asleep, wake up with a pit in my stomach, a sheer panic around 3 a.m. and then the whole entire night of sleep is shot. Anyway, I have been back and forth with my liver enzymes being extremely high and what's wild is when I go in to have the initial blood draw, it comes back with them being super high and so then they go back and test it and they've dropped to normal and this happened twice. It happened when I had to up my insurance for my life insurance for the kids and then when I had my surgery and I let them know like I haven't had a drink in over seven and a half years so like let's also take that into consideration and then all of my. Actually, when I was talking to my my guy for the life insurance, he was like Lala, like you gotta be honest, you can tell me if you've been drinking and I was like, I have not had a sip of alcohol. I was like, I'm actually concerned about this because something's going on. So I went to a specialist and he was like, what are you taking? And I told them all of my supplements and I said, and I've been taking Unisom and he said, and how long have you been taking Unisom for? I gave him the timeline. He goes, okay, that's not going to affect the liver, but like you should definitely stop doing that because there's something in it where consecutive use, long-term use. There, you know, science is showing that you could get early onset dementia. I was like, whoa, holy shit, don't love that. You know, we have no control over what the is going to happen to us in the future. So I'm going to try to like curtail it as much as I possibly can.

Speaker 2:
[25:45] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[25:47] Anyway, I have this concoction that I take now. You guys are going to die. So I started off right before I brush my teeth with two Lemmy sleeve gummies, brush my teeth, get into the bed, get prepped, right? Can't put my show on. Take two magnesium. I like Thorne brand, Thorne with an E. I take all of their vitamins. That's like my new brand. Take two. And then right before I know it's like time to close the eyes, I mask Seinfeld down to volume five.

Speaker 2:
[26:22] Do you put a timer on the TV?

Speaker 1:
[26:24] No, because it just clocks out.

Speaker 2:
[26:26] It just stops playing.

Speaker 1:
[26:28] Are you still watching?

Speaker 2:
[26:29] And you're not.

Speaker 1:
[26:30] And I'm not.

Speaker 2:
[26:31] That makes sense.

Speaker 1:
[26:31] And I have the eye mask on, so I don't fucking know. I take one more. So I'm on two Let Me Sleep gummies, three Magnesium.

Speaker 2:
[26:39] Yeah, maybe we talk.

Speaker 1:
[26:40] Wait, really? Is that bad?

Speaker 2:
[26:43] I take two Sleep gummies, because it says to take two.

Speaker 1:
[26:47] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[26:47] And that's all I take. And I take it 30 minutes before bed. And if I can't sleep, well, whatever.

Speaker 1:
[26:55] The Magnesium is fine, because on the bottle, it says, take for a day.

Speaker 2:
[26:59] Oh, I don't take that. Have you ever tried Z-Quill?

Speaker 1:
[27:03] I'm not taking Z-Quill.

Speaker 2:
[27:04] There's alcohol in it.

Speaker 1:
[27:05] It doesn't matter if there's alcohol in it. I trust. I just don't know that that would be.

Speaker 2:
[27:11] Literally for sleep.

Speaker 1:
[27:12] It's for sleep. But what the problem is, Easton, is I have a problem sleeping every single night. So taking Z-Quill is for people who maybe have a rough night of sleep. That also is not for long-term use. I go to bed actually pretty late. Like 11.

Speaker 2:
[27:30] You go to bed at...

Speaker 1:
[27:31] I just like to start the unwind process.

Speaker 2:
[27:35] At 9.

Speaker 1:
[27:35] Of getting in my zone, like looking at my schedule for the next day. Getting everything prepped for school.

Speaker 2:
[27:41] Because me and you have been texting at like 10, 30 or 11, even just about podcast. So I'm like, wow, you went to bed at 9, but she's still up too. All right. I don't feel as bad.

Speaker 1:
[27:52] No, the unwind process. And you guys know who our parents, like when you have to be boots on the ground all day long, and the kids had a fucking long day yesterday, it was like swim lessons, gymnastics. When I tell you Sosa was knocked out by six, Ocean in bed by 6.45 and completely knocked out, I had a heyday. I was like, this is the best time of my life. Like you need that downtime.

Speaker 2:
[28:20] No, yeah, you really do. But that's why revenge sleep is actually a term because everybody's doing it. You all need some you time. We all need us time.

Speaker 1:
[28:30] Do you feel like once you left Coachella now that you're home, that you are powered down? Like I know you had a great time, but do you feel like you took really?

Speaker 2:
[28:40] Yeah, I've been telling you though, like I've needed to do things like this, you know, like I...

Speaker 1:
[28:46] Yeah, you're identifying.

Speaker 2:
[28:48] Yeah, but no, it was fun. I got, I did the best of everything. I did the little pregame. So I got like everybody's energy, good conversation. Once it started to loop, I was the fuck out.

Speaker 1:
[28:58] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[28:58] And then after, you know, there were, there were like little after parties. And even if there weren't, we would go to somebody's house and just like hang out and chill for a bit. And a couple people came over to the house and we sat in the hot tub, like four or five of us. So there were just like little things that we did, but like I was usually asleep by one.

Speaker 1:
[29:15] So you feel like you got the best of both worlds. You got to like go out and have social time, experience things that Coachella had to offer, but also took time to retreat and do your thing.

Speaker 2:
[29:26] And I think that, I mean, I even when we went to Salt Lake for like nine days or I did.

Speaker 1:
[29:32] Oh my God.

Speaker 2:
[29:33] Yeah. Like there is, I like being around a lot of people, but I also like being around no one.

Speaker 1:
[29:39] It's like an introverted extrovert where like you, you can be a social butterfly, but you take on a lot of energy. So once it's over, you have to recharge alone. Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[29:52] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[29:52] So I'm not the same way and mom's not. She can have 24 seven together all day long.

Speaker 2:
[29:57] I need to just like go and decompress alone.

Speaker 1:
[29:59] I know.

Speaker 2:
[30:00] So Coachella, I was like, I don't need to go with all of that.

Speaker 1:
[30:05] Right. Like I had my time with you guys.

Speaker 2:
[30:06] And like we said, they're all on something. I'm not trying to put in 20,000 steps to like just be, you know, that's not-

Speaker 1:
[30:14] 20,000 sits always.

Speaker 2:
[30:17] But yes, I feel recharged. I feel rejuvenated. I feel very creative. Cause I was like doing that and just like meandering on the computer. Yeah. I feel good. I feel great.

Speaker 1:
[30:27] Good. That makes me happy.

Speaker 2:
[30:29] I feel bad because when I came home, I was like, just for next week. And I was like, all right, that's why I feel bad. Because Lisa's hip surgery and I'm like, well, I just had this weekend.

Speaker 1:
[30:40] Yeah, she's having hip surgery. But that's different because you're only going to be gone a few hours. And I have heard, so our mom's having hip surgery. She's got like bone on bone arthritis type shit happening. And I've heard that the surgery is actually great and life changing, but obviously surgery is scary.

Speaker 2:
[30:59] You have to go to put in enough.

Speaker 1:
[31:01] I had to get her like a toilet seat that's elevated. I had to get her like a workout step stool to get out of the bed, something for the couch so that she doesn't ever move her legs higher than a 90 degree angle.

Speaker 2:
[31:13] You didn't need to worry about that anyway.

Speaker 1:
[31:15] No, when you sit, when you sit down in your leg, your bum kind of goes down in your legs.

Speaker 2:
[31:19] Oh, and she puts her legs?

Speaker 1:
[31:20] Yeah. So, no, I'm glad that you had the best time. We missed you. I've been in a funky spot. I'm hoping to get out of it soon. You know why.

Speaker 2:
[31:30] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[31:31] You know, it's fine.

Speaker 2:
[31:33] Hopefully, I made you feel better.

Speaker 1:
[31:35] Yeah, I told you, I heard the door open and I was like...

Speaker 2:
[31:38] Well, no, even just me being me with just over, just guys being guys, you know?

Speaker 1:
[31:43] Yeah, it's a lot though. I'm like, how was I so open for the universe to bring me something then? And it brings me something and I'm like, really?

Speaker 2:
[31:54] This is what you brought?

Speaker 1:
[31:55] No, it's great. It's just when you open yourself up to bringing another person into your world, this is what makes me nervous is it's like, oh, there are times that I'm going to be let down and I have no control. And there are couples who have been together for 20 plus years. And I'm sure after 20 plus years, there are moments that each person could recall to be like, yeah, I was disappointed at that moment. Or yeah, I contemplated divorce at that moment. And then they worked through it.

Speaker 2:
[32:24] And then I wrote it out, yeah.

Speaker 1:
[32:26] But because I am kind of new to this, there are sometimes curveballs where I'm like, I've been operating by myself for so long. Like even with my ex, like he was never fucking around. I've been emotionally single, I feel, for probably 10 years. Like real single for going into the fifth. So when you're by yourself, like no one rocks being a third wheel better than I do. I thrive as a third wheel. No pressure, no pressure. But also like even when I had my person, I was kind of alone. So it just still third wheeling, still third wheeling, not even associated with this guy. So yeah, but now I'm going into this new phase of life where I'm like, okay, this is what we told the universe that we were open to. And I'm having to do a lot of learning and relearning and trauma work. And I'm obviously not perfect. I can stomp the yard pretty fucking quick when I feel a certain way.

Speaker 2:
[33:26] We all know.

Speaker 1:
[33:27] To reel it in, because I certainly don't want to traumatize anybody. It's just a lot. It's just a lot. I'm tired. I would like.

Speaker 2:
[33:33] I don't want to traumatize anyone.

Speaker 1:
[33:46] Welcome back, do you have an ache in relief, TT? You want me to start us off?

Speaker 2:
[33:50] Yeah, start us off, start us off.

Speaker 1:
[33:53] So my ache was definitely having one of the members of the family gone. You were missed, your energy was missed.

Speaker 2:
[34:00] Yeah, I like that being your ache.

Speaker 1:
[34:02] Yeah, there were so many times I'm like, I just need to go to the back house and just talk it out with Easton.

Speaker 2:
[34:07] Well, you could have called, bitch.

Speaker 1:
[34:08] It's not the same. You could have FaceTimed. It's not the same.

Speaker 2:
[34:11] It really isn't the same.

Speaker 1:
[34:12] It's not the same, it's not the same. And then I want to say that my relief was WrestleMania, which I told you all about, and I want to go every year. It was a magical experience. I appreciated the fans. Like that. Those fans are fucking everything and very welcoming. Yeah. Amber and I were like, we've never been. And they were like, oh my gosh, it's amazing. Let us know if you have any questions. They were like so cute.

Speaker 2:
[34:37] I love that.

Speaker 1:
[34:38] And there were a lot of like pro athletes that are into wrestling. Yeah, like football players and basketball players. I was looking around. I was like.

Speaker 2:
[34:46] She was near my future wife and had no idea.

Speaker 1:
[34:50] Oh, the influencer girl who's like.

Speaker 2:
[34:52] She's just beautiful as could be.

Speaker 1:
[34:54] Okay. I didn't see her.

Speaker 2:
[34:56] How is it? I've never been, would you take me? Would you go again?

Speaker 1:
[35:00] Yes, we're going next year.

Speaker 2:
[35:01] Okay.

Speaker 1:
[35:02] What's your ache in relief?

Speaker 2:
[35:04] My ache is, can I be honest?

Speaker 1:
[35:08] I don't have one.

Speaker 2:
[35:09] I'm on cloud nine.

Speaker 1:
[35:10] Wow. That is.

Speaker 2:
[35:12] I really was thinking of one. And it's like I could make up one, but I really don't have an ache.

Speaker 1:
[35:16] And I. You don't even have an ache to relief.

Speaker 2:
[35:20] No. Like my body feels good. I got my shoulder taken care of. Like there's like I've been. We got that. Our little things cooking in the pot that I've been working on. Yeah, life's great.

Speaker 1:
[35:32] This is why you don't go out and date, because your happiness is contingent on you and only you.

Speaker 2:
[35:37] No, I will say I get it. I there's been times after like, you know, when we chat all of us and then we dismiss to our own rooms, like I feel terrible when I'm like I'm laying in bed and like I'm getting back. Yeah, I think of you and I'm like, oh, broken.

Speaker 1:
[35:55] I know, but I don't even know why it is what it is.

Speaker 2:
[35:59] I know why you put yourself out there and then you feel like it. It's almost like when your house like gets robbed, like you feel like it was a personal attack. So like you feel like when you put yourself out there, you feel personally, even though it may not been anything to do with you, it feels personal. You know?

Speaker 1:
[36:15] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[36:15] So you're like, why would I put myself out there to be hurt or to overthink the things that I already overthink?

Speaker 1:
[36:21] Right? We'll have a bounce back. I just, you know what it is? I have trauma from other places. And when something triggers that, that's new, I immediately just who I am, put the guard back up and go, but my relief is being home with you guys, to be honest to you. Great. I love that.

Speaker 2:
[36:39] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[36:40] Perfect.

Speaker 2:
[36:40] Being home, back into the...

Speaker 1:
[36:44] Back in the pod.

Speaker 2:
[36:45] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[36:46] Where you belong.

Speaker 2:
[36:46] I was going to say, the daily routine.

Speaker 1:
[36:49] Yeah, that's nice.

Speaker 2:
[36:50] I'm a routine guy, I found out.

Speaker 1:
[36:51] So am I. I get it. You guys, thank you for listening to another episode of Untraditionally Lala. I love you. Remember, we have a bonus that comes out on Mondays. You can catch a regular old episode on Wednesdays. And reminder, an unlikely affair with myself and my ex's ex, Amber Childers, drops Thursday nights, Friday mornings. We'll catch you there. Love you. Bye.
