Speaker 1: Hello, gorgeous people. It is La La Kent with Randall
Speaker 1: and this is Give Them La La with Randall the podcast.
Speaker 2: Yes, finally you fucking remember my name. I gotta stop.
Speaker 1: Cursing, babe. We got we had notes, but said that
Speaker 1: you cursed too much.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah. By the way, I got a note from
Speaker 2: the studio that says I say the F wort too much.
Speaker 2: So the goal in this podcast I've already failed is
Speaker 2: to not curse, so I am gonna wor up. My
Speaker 2: mother raised me to not curse. She is very disappointed,
Speaker 2: so I'm not going to curse anything.
Speaker 1: When when you read the email to out loud to
Speaker 1: me and it was like, hey, just a few notes
Speaker 1: like don't curse as much and we were gonna listen
Speaker 1: to the episode we did with Jackson Britt, I was like,
Speaker 1: oh no, I cursed too much. And then it ended
Speaker 1: up being you saying the F word the whole time.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I felt Yeah. When I saw the only note
Speaker 2: was to me, I actually thought I was getting cut
Speaker 2: for the podcast again. But I made it to episode three,
Speaker 2: so I'm excited. I'm here still.
Speaker 1: And by the way, you're such a rookie that you
Speaker 1: have your phone on right now.
Speaker 2: Listen, it's with Randall. That's why I'm not a give
Speaker 2: them lalla. I'm on the sidekick.
Speaker 1: You're welcome. Turn the damn phone off.
Speaker 2: Okay, I did. I just want to tell you that
Speaker 2: we we and it is important because we're sitting here
Speaker 2: now twenty four hours back from Sundance, and I am
Speaker 2: so proud of you. You crushed it. You had the
Speaker 2: premiere of your movie, and I think you should talk
Speaker 2: about that because that was your first time ever having
Speaker 2: a premiere at Sundance, and I was so moved and
Speaker 2: so excited for you, as like a kid in a
Speaker 2: candy shop. So why don't you tell everybody about that?
Speaker 1: The experience in Sundance was absolutely amazing. I've been going
Speaker 1: there for so many years when I lived in Utah,
Speaker 1: and I would like pass out goodie bags or like
Speaker 1: serve drinks.
Speaker 2: You were, but I mean explain to people like you
Speaker 2: were like five dollars six dollars an hour? You know, yeah, no,
Speaker 2: had a party, your help.
Speaker 1: We're not making mad money. I mean if you were
Speaker 1: making two hundred dollars for the night, you were like,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I'm rich. But it was amazing and
Speaker 1: not only was the experience great, when I went to
Speaker 1: the premiere of the film Spree, it was just unbelievable.
Speaker 1: It was a great no.
Speaker 2: And I'll just when I say like, because I know,
Speaker 2: because look, I started as an assistant. I worked, you know,
Speaker 2: all these odd jobs to get you know, come up
Speaker 2: and babe and try to you know, become you know,
Speaker 2: in the business and become successful. And you've done the
Speaker 2: same thing, and I don't think people really understand, like
Speaker 2: you fit modeled and you worked, you know, hosting gigs
Speaker 2: and all that stuff. For you to show up on
Speaker 2: a red carpet at the Sundance Film Festival, it's got
Speaker 2: to be pretty. I mean, I know what it meant
Speaker 2: to you. But I mean I think people, you know,
Speaker 2: don't realize how epic that one moment is when you
Speaker 2: get it.
Speaker 1: Well, it's like when you sit there and you've been
Speaker 1: thinking about something your entire life, and you know, things
Speaker 1: didn't always.
Speaker 3: Go my way.
Speaker 1: Of course, I'm so grateful for vander pump roles, but
Speaker 1: you have to understand, as a kid, like I was
Speaker 1: never thinking I want to do reality TV, right, and
Speaker 1: when I signed on to vander Pump, I never wanted
Speaker 1: to lose the vision of wanting to become an actress
Speaker 1: and working on my craft. Of course, So to go
Speaker 1: back to my home state to a film festival that
Speaker 1: I've been going to for years and actually have a film,
Speaker 1: it was surreal.
Speaker 2: And what I what I love about vander Pomp and
Speaker 2: I think people know this probably is that it's it's
Speaker 2: been such a springboard for you. It's given you so
Speaker 2: many cool opportunities, and it continues. So I think that's cool,
Speaker 2: you know, And then.
Speaker 1: So you get to like turn I love you vander
Speaker 1: Pump Rules plug.
Speaker 2: Lisa Vanner Pump. No, but I think I think it's cool.
Speaker 2: I think you get to do reality, you get to
Speaker 2: go do your acting. Well.
Speaker 1: If someone asked me that rand when when I was
Speaker 1: doing press, they were like, so are you thinking like
Speaker 1: you're just going to focus on acting and not do
Speaker 1: vander Pump. I'm like, we live in a world where
Speaker 1: you can do it all. Like I'm not canceling anything out.
Speaker 1: I love acting and I love doing vander Pump Rules. Like,
Speaker 1: let's rock it all till the wheels fall off.
Speaker 2: I think it's cool. And now we're here working together.
Speaker 1: But let's talk about one thing. Because I can't not
Speaker 1: talk about this. We had an amazing sun dance. We're
Speaker 1: living our best life. We're on the PJ on Sunday,
Speaker 1: flying from Utah to to Ohio, and we see online
Speaker 1: that Kobe Bryant has passed away with his daughter.
Speaker 2: Okay, and here here's a crazy thing. And this is
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously everybody in the world has been affected
Speaker 2: by this. We're on the plane and we get a text,
Speaker 2: and I mean we see on our thing it says
Speaker 2: TMZ reports it, and you go into that complete denial,
Speaker 2: like it's this didn't happen, there's this is bullshit reporting.
Speaker 2: And then everybody on the plane starts googling. And within
Speaker 2: eleven minutes, eleven minutes from the time we saw the TMZ,
Speaker 2: it was everywhere. And that plane ride, that last hour
Speaker 2: and a half from when we found out it was
Speaker 2: jaw dropping disbelief, heartbreak, by the way, and I just
Speaker 2: want to put this out there. I was never a
Speaker 2: big sports person, you know that, baby, I mean I
Speaker 2: don't even I barely know, but I mean Kobe Bryant
Speaker 2: what I've watched, I've gone to a lot of Laker games.
Speaker 2: I mean, this is this is the icon of the
Speaker 2: hero of basketball, and even myself tears and heartbreak and
Speaker 2: emotional and then you and I mean this with love.
Speaker 2: And I'm sitting right next to you, and I know
Speaker 2: you gonna get upset. And I'm not laughing. I'm I mean,
Speaker 2: I have to laugh. I have to find some humor,
Speaker 2: but there really is none right now. But I watched
Speaker 2: you all night. You couldn't leave the hotel. See you
Speaker 2: have tears over your eyes, and I love you and
Speaker 2: gonna get me upset now, But I watched you all
Speaker 2: night and and and it's just Kobe Bryant has had
Speaker 2: the effect on the world that that he's had. You're
Speaker 2: sitting here with tears in your eyes right now, and
Speaker 2: that to me shows this is a legend that the
Speaker 2: world will honor his. And then and then the heartbreak
Speaker 2: of the other victims. I love. It's okay, I know,
Speaker 2: and I want to say there are other people. Obviously
Speaker 2: we know there were, you know, other people on the helicopter.
Speaker 2: Other families that are I've watched the news with all
Speaker 2: these different families.
Speaker 1: Alto with his wife and his daughter, but all of
Speaker 1: the victims of.
Speaker 2: This, of this horrific, horrific, but you can't even process
Speaker 2: it as somebody like myself who isn't connected to Kobe
Speaker 2: Bryant in that way as a family member. I feel
Speaker 2: for for the victims, for the families, for the heartbreak,
Speaker 2: for the children, and and and and I don't even
Speaker 2: know what to say. And I'm watching you with tears
Speaker 2: and ears, but I want to say this, Kobe Bryant
Speaker 2: and all of the people, but Kobe Bryant, what an
Speaker 2: effect he has had on me, somebody who's not even
Speaker 2: a sports person. And I'm gonna let you jump back
Speaker 2: in here because I want you to. I want you
Speaker 2: to share your feelings because you shared them with me
Speaker 2: last night, the last two days. Yesterday, sorry, yesterday, you
Speaker 2: couldn't really get out of bed. I mean you were
Speaker 2: laying in Betterson. I'm maybe let's go to dinner. You said,
Speaker 2: I am really in a dark place right now. That's
Speaker 2: what you said to me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And for me, like Kobe Bryant, when when you
Speaker 1: think about like your first love, when you're a kid,
Speaker 1: you see someone on TV and you're like, I'm in
Speaker 1: love with that person. Kobe Bryant was that for me.
Speaker 1: I was a basketball player up until junior high and
Speaker 1: like I just wanted to be athletic like him. I
Speaker 1: thought he was the most fascinating human being. I used
Speaker 1: to google him twenty four to seven. I knew everything
Speaker 1: about him. I would make books about him. And I
Speaker 1: just you know, the night that it happened, or the
Speaker 1: morning that it happened. That night, I just kept waking up,
Speaker 1: and you were next to me, and it was just like,
Speaker 1: I know, baby, it's okay to think about his wife, who.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's left behind to be strong up with him again. No,
Speaker 2: and to be and and her daughter led all.
Speaker 1: These people, but that I can kind of the families
Speaker 1: lost their sister, their mom and their dad. It's just truly.
Speaker 2: Well, I listen, I listen. I listen to the coach
Speaker 2: and and and and I listened to the coach who
Speaker 2: lost his wife and has has I think four kids.
Speaker 2: And he said, I just don't know how I'm going
Speaker 2: to go on without without a wife, without a mother
Speaker 2: for my children. I cannot and I cannot and I
Speaker 2: and I've shed a lot of tears over this, watching
Speaker 2: you and myself just emotionally how catastrophic this is. I
Speaker 2: cannot imagine, uh, what these people, how they're going to
Speaker 2: pick the pieces up, and I just want to send
Speaker 2: prayers to each and every one of them, every family member,
Speaker 2: and to the world and to the world for the
Speaker 2: compassion that our world has showed these people.
Speaker 1: Oh, we're all getting choked.
Speaker 2: It's uh, it's it's just it's heartbreak. I just want
Speaker 2: to say that, I just everybody. It seems like the
Speaker 2: world is coming together over this and and and there's.
Speaker 1: Very like cliche to be like, live every day grateful,
Speaker 1: but I'm telling you you guys, as someone who has
Speaker 1: lost a parent, which I'm sure there are many of
Speaker 1: you who.
Speaker 3: Have had that.
Speaker 1: Sister, just lost a friend, it is earth shattering and
Speaker 1: for real, you just have to walk this earth with
Speaker 1: your head held high and be so grateful every day moment.
Speaker 1: So Kobe Bryant, you will be extremely missed, brother, and
Speaker 1: your beautiful daughter, and.
Speaker 2: All the families and all the victims families. We just

Speaker 2: such a talent, first of all, an any woman that's
Speaker 2: wrestling and could kick any man's ass.
Speaker 1: She's I did my fitting with her, you guys, and
Speaker 1: as she was like putting her stuff on, I was like,
Speaker 1: I really need to stop eating Nacho's Belgrande at one
Speaker 1: in the morning because that bod that she works on
Speaker 1: twenty four second, she's just a freaking athlete, dude.
Speaker 2: She is. It's so crazy because her Instagram, you know,
Speaker 2: obviously we're friends with her and we follow her. You know,
Speaker 2: I get pissed off because I'm like, dude, I'm like
Speaker 2: chunky monkey and I look at her on this Gram
Speaker 2: and she's got i mean, like inverted body fat. She's
Speaker 2: got inverted body fat. I've got extroverted body fat, like
Speaker 2: I have a six pack. I know what's beneath about
Speaker 2: the eight and a half pounds of fat on my stomach.
Speaker 2: But but the thing is, she is like, I mean,
Speaker 2: I don't even know what it is.
Speaker 1: It's she works hard, dude, but hardy.
Speaker 2: Herd is like hard is like you go to the
Speaker 2: gym and you like I, I flex a few times.
Speaker 1: This bitch tells me she's like squatting two hundred pounds.
Speaker 2: I'm like, what, Yeah, she told us that. By the way,
Speaker 2: I don't even know what that means because I don't
Speaker 2: go to the gym. It's obviously clearly looking and I
Speaker 2: was like, what is a squat No, I know how
Speaker 2: to get the dunkin donuts about.
Speaker 3: That's a me.
Speaker 2: But listen, listen. I give her respect. But here's the thing.
Speaker 2: She's gonna bust my balls a little bit because I
Speaker 2: call her up in panic when my fat role gets
Speaker 2: to be too much. And I okay with that.
Speaker 1: She said it in the car, bro you don't do anything.
Speaker 3: You don't go to the gym.
Speaker 1: You try to eat healthy like stuff.
Speaker 2: I made plants. Wait, I made baby, I made plans.

Speaker 2: a dig and move on. I want to say something
Speaker 2: about my shoes. Okay, okay, we don't all have to
Speaker 2: look like a runway model every single day. Sometimes I
Speaker 2: want to just feel comfortable. So my hookah shoes or
Speaker 2: hookah wherever they're called, are bad ass, and you should
Speaker 2: be respectful that I have to walk around a lot
Speaker 2: on the set and I need comfortable shoes. I am
Speaker 2: not in a runway model show. And second of all,
Speaker 2: I have the effort and commitment to work out mentally
Speaker 2: up here just physically. My body doesn't go to the gym,
Speaker 2: so Natalie, and you need to back off on this
Speaker 2: episode and not talking about it.

Speaker 1: we have amazing voicemails. Let's start with number one.
Speaker 4: Hi, Lala, Hi Randall. I'm a huge fan of the show.
Speaker 4: So my question goes out to both of you. When
Speaker 4: you guys first late eyes on each other. What was
Speaker 4: the first thought that came through your mind.
Speaker 2: It's like, let me think about that.
Speaker 1: Remember me when I didn't show you my PMS bitch face,
Speaker 1: when you've ripped my head off the very first time ever, let.
Speaker 2: Me go back in time. I have to really think.
Speaker 1: I remember.
Speaker 2: I'll definitely sleep another.
Speaker 1: I remember you, Like when I first saw you, you
Speaker 1: had like your voice is very sexy. I've always said that,
Speaker 1: and you had the face for radio No, but let's
Speaker 1: be for real. And then your mannerisms. I was like,
Speaker 1: this guy has a lot of swag. You always so
Speaker 1: that white guy.
Speaker 2: Okay, well you didn't say that.
Speaker 1: No, you had mad swag and you were so sweet
Speaker 1: to me. And I was like, all right, I need
Speaker 1: to hit that. And then I hit that.
Speaker 2: Yeah this is what you thought.
Speaker 1: Yes, and I think this is nice that. I was like,
Speaker 1: he's been look is this. I got to hit that,
Speaker 1: and then I need to bag that. And after we
Speaker 1: were in separate.
Speaker 2: So your line was I got to hit it and
Speaker 2: then bag it. Yeah, so that's how you looked at me.
Speaker 1: I got to put in that good good so that
Speaker 1: I can really you know what that.
Speaker 2: Sounds like what, you're robbing a fucking bank.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, it was kind of like, oh, this
Speaker 1: is so whacked.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right now, I guess that's your what. Well
Speaker 2: mine was a little different because I'm a romantic. Oh
Speaker 2: tell me, I saw you, and I I felt a
Speaker 2: very deep connection to you, and I felt very connected
Speaker 2: and I didn't want to be away from you. Oh
Speaker 2: I didn't want to hit it and bag it. I mean,
Speaker 2: I mean I never ever heard of that. I mean,
Speaker 2: you know, what, do me a favorite next time, bab
Speaker 2: when somebody asked something like that, can you just drop
Speaker 2: both those? Yeah, just say something romantic and then I'll
Speaker 2: do the next question and I'll start the answer because
Speaker 2: I'm freaked out right now you want to hit and
Speaker 2: bag me? I mean it's like hit it and tag
Speaker 2: it or bag it and tag it. The question is
Speaker 2: Kai Lala.
Speaker 5: I'm a huge fan from Connecticut. I was just calling
Speaker 5: in because I was wondering. I know you and randall
Speaker 5: got a lot of shit when you first started dating.
Speaker 5: For your age different and my boyfriend is significantly older,
Speaker 5: and I was just wondering if you had any advice
Speaker 5: for dealing with family and friends, which is don't approve it. Again,
Speaker 5: huge fans of both of you. I'm so happy that
Speaker 5: Rand's on the show, and so congratulations on your wedding. Thanks.
Speaker 1: This one is a little hard for me because my
Speaker 1: family always approved, didn't have that issue. I didn't have that.
Speaker 1: My family's very much like I brought home some sketchy
Speaker 1: dudes before Rand, and they were like even accepting of that.
Speaker 2: Okay, so but yes, I mean, but the truth is
Speaker 2: your family and I met I remember meeting your family.
Speaker 2: They were they were as welcoming like they didn't even
Speaker 2: there was no they didn't even think. There was never
Speaker 2: a conversation about their age.
Speaker 1: They knew if he's good to you, that's what it is.
Speaker 2: But let me but let me give you my advice
Speaker 2: because because even though.
Speaker 1: We haven't had parents, we've got a lot of people
Speaker 1: that I like a lot. I think it's so weird.
Speaker 2: I agree with that, and a lot of people have
Speaker 2: talk shit. But but here's what I want to say.
Speaker 2: At the end of the day, in your life, you're
Speaker 2: gonna put your head down on the pillow with the
Speaker 2: person you love. And if you're living for other people's opinions,
Speaker 2: those people obviously have their own issues. And if you
Speaker 2: love your man the way I assume you do, and
Speaker 2: you put your head down next to him and that's
Speaker 2: where you feel the safest, then then you then you
Speaker 2: do that, and you do you because at the end
Speaker 2: of your life, you're gonna have a smile on your
Speaker 2: face and the rest of this.
Speaker 1: They're all going to fall into place, exactly. They're all
Speaker 1: going to see you happy. And it may take some time, but.
Speaker 2: It eventually goes away. It goes away.
Speaker 1: But if you have your soulmate, the time is worth it.
Speaker 2: And let me say one last thing. People talked a
Speaker 2: lot of shit, as you guys all know. Baby, I mean, oh.
Speaker 1: He's like your dad, but you didn't that's my favorite one.
Speaker 2: Well, law, you also didn't help the cause with all
Speaker 2: the bullshit you say. I was like, ooh, daddy, all right,
Speaker 2: maybe okay, this is the part where I want to
Speaker 2: make it. Give them laala without Randall.
Speaker 1: No, you're stuck with me, all right, babe.
Speaker 2: But what I'm saying is that a lot of people
Speaker 2: said a lot of shit to us, and I think people,
Speaker 2: over time, we prove them wrong. And I hope that
Speaker 2: you stick with your boyfriend and whatever people give you.
Speaker 1: Prove them wrong the fling in the world.
Speaker 2: And I agree, and it's it's just you know what,
Speaker 2: people will fall on line and at the end of
Speaker 2: the day.
Speaker 1: That's that I am so when they were like, you
Speaker 1: guys are never gonna make it. He's never going to
Speaker 1: marry you, and then I was like, that was like
Speaker 1: this rigged bitch. Okay again, there's still time for him
Speaker 1: to leave me. We better head to the court house.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's do this, because I am so excited that
Speaker 2: a friend of both of ours and also an incredible actress,
Speaker 2: an incredible ww superstar.
Speaker 1: Great actress everything, our friend, a sober sister of.
Speaker 2: Mine, sober sister of yours, our friend Natalie Eva.
Speaker 6: Natalie Eva Maria.
Speaker 3: Yes, that's right.
Speaker 1: We knew right off the bat. I was like, we're
Speaker 1: having Eva do this because you're a freaking badass. You're
Speaker 1: like what you're like wrestling? Then I've read that you
Speaker 1: like played soccer. Your body's banging like no.
Speaker 3: I can't no hold on man.
Speaker 7: First of all, for everybody that's listening, first of all,
Speaker 7: you guys were on like literally location right, I'm doing
Speaker 7: a movie with Laala.
Speaker 2: First of all.
Speaker 7: Second of all, the full circle of everything. Randall gave
Speaker 7: me my first movie, shout out, shout.
Speaker 1: Out to out.
Speaker 2: By the way, I gave her first movie Badass. I
Speaker 2: was lucky to get you early on, and I just
Speaker 2: want to say that we became friends, you and your husband,
Speaker 2: and I want to say that now this is full circle.
Speaker 2: As you say, we're sitting here in the hotel room
Speaker 2: of another production that we're doing together with my fiance.
Speaker 2: I mean, this is just cool as shit.
Speaker 3: It is. It's actually very very cool.
Speaker 7: Yeah, only that, But I have to say, inconceivable is
Speaker 7: bomb so bomb.
Speaker 3: You can watch it on Netflix.
Speaker 7: Holler, and it's with Nicholas Cage.
Speaker 2: Wait wait wait, and then you just go down that
Speaker 2: and then you just go from that, you jump back over.
Speaker 2: Now you with Bruce Walls and.
Speaker 1: Little stars out here, you're gonna be like the female
Speaker 1: version of the Rock Stop it.
Speaker 2: Yes right, yes, yes, so so a couple of things,
Speaker 2: because you know, I was intrigued because IVE asked you
Speaker 2: one hundred questions back in the day. For sure, I
Speaker 2: just want you just get a snapshot of like how
Speaker 2: did you be calm? W W fucking because I just
Speaker 2: think it's the most intriguing story because people see you
Speaker 2: you're a superstar and they think, oh, you just jumped
Speaker 2: in a Superstarum no, yes.
Speaker 7: Tell us how kind of the evolution short story version
Speaker 7: because it's long. Obviously the grind, the hustle is real.
Speaker 7: So the the goal was to be a professional soccer player.
Speaker 7: So that was like the whole youngest of three boys,
Speaker 7: like very much tomboy. But w W came in because
Speaker 7: after I finished school, tore my legm into my ankle,
Speaker 7: so that dream was shattered, right, So then moved to
Speaker 7: LA because I wasn't ready to go and dabble in
Speaker 7: the business corporate world. Moved to LA and dabbled in
Speaker 7: a little bit of modeling and acting, and I was like, oh.
Speaker 3: I like it over here.
Speaker 7: I like like I like this. My dad always being
Speaker 7: like when are you gonna.
Speaker 3: Get a real job?
Speaker 2: You know that.
Speaker 7: So that whole thing, and especially because education to my
Speaker 7: parents was like every like it's just like they didn't
Speaker 7: they didn't go to college. So it was very much
Speaker 7: something that I feel like parents just want to give
Speaker 7: whatever they did not have, you know.
Speaker 3: So, and obviously as I.
Speaker 7: Get older and older, I really appreciate my parents. Like
Speaker 7: day I'm with them, so moved to l A and
Speaker 7: like literally was getting just enough gigs to hold on
Speaker 7: to the pipe drink just scrap because technically not really
Speaker 7: because I was doing the bottle service and waitress, doing
Speaker 7: auditioning and during the day doing it off Hollywood dream yeah.
Speaker 3: Right up, straight up.
Speaker 7: So then all of a sudden, boom w W came
Speaker 7: into town and I got and by this time I'd
Speaker 7: already been on so many auditions, so it was just
Speaker 7: like another one, no big deal, nothing, like I did
Speaker 7: not see casting open call, Well I got it.
Speaker 3: I was in a minor.
Speaker 7: Like boutiquish type agency because I had done a fitness
Speaker 7: competition and I want it, so that was like the perk.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but let me ask question. So you go to
Speaker 2: an open call with.
Speaker 3: Hundreds hundreds, how does the audition? So I walk into
Speaker 3: the HQ right and then I'm looking around and I'm like, oh, holdly, what.
Speaker 7: The I'm like, whoa, This is straight up w w
Speaker 7: F that I used to watch with my brothers back
Speaker 7: in the day. So then it's starting to like really click,
Speaker 7: like what's really going on here?
Speaker 3: And I'm like damn.
Speaker 7: Because I shared a room with one of my brothers
Speaker 7: and we had bunk beds, so we're dropping, like, you know,
Speaker 7: doing the whole deal.
Speaker 3: So I'm like, wow, this is wild. So immediately I'm
Speaker 3: like on Google.
Speaker 7: Right, trying to do a little research, and I'm like, wow,
Speaker 7: this actually has everything infused into one spot. So I mean,
Speaker 7: at this point in my time, I had nothing to lose.
Speaker 3: So here we go.
Speaker 2: Now you're on the stage. Audition.
Speaker 7: Audition, got a call back, totally left thinking like, there's
Speaker 7: so many girls you know, and like and it's la,
Speaker 7: there's so many so you never know.
Speaker 3: And so anyways, call back, call back, call back, in front.
Speaker 1: Of multiples, multiple Yeah, there were like four.
Speaker 7: You said, yeah, four and then an interring Uh no,
Speaker 7: the fourth one wasn't injuring physicality.
Speaker 2: Tryout, Oh my god, how does that work?
Speaker 7: Well, first, let me get to the one I don't
Speaker 7: want to go the one prior to that one, I
Speaker 7: walk into all the yes men. So those those those
Speaker 7: guys are the ones that are like literally hammering me
Speaker 7: questions and lights, camera action.
Speaker 3: You walk into a room and I'm like this with
Speaker 3: a mic standing up there.
Speaker 1: How many people?
Speaker 3: How many dudes were there's uh, there's women in there
Speaker 3: as well.
Speaker 1: Okay, people waiting for your answer maybe twelve.
Speaker 3: Wow, that's including cameramen. They're just firing, firing like.
Speaker 7: Left and right, left and right, like like literally, you know,
Speaker 7: it was It was so wild because I'd never experienced
Speaker 7: something like that.
Speaker 3: But I do think God puts you in a.
Speaker 7: Place at the right time, right. It's just like timing
Speaker 7: in my life and everything. And I was like, bringing on,
Speaker 7: let's go because I had nothing to hide. I had
Speaker 7: already been through a ton in my life. So and
Speaker 7: I have tough skin, like I have all older brothers,
Speaker 7: So you don't think.
Speaker 3: They pick on me. I don't think that I got.
Speaker 7: Totally you're trying to prove like, no, I'm alpha, I'm alpha.
Speaker 7: I'm so it was totally easy, breezy, and I walked
Speaker 7: out of there not really feeling like, oh I think
Speaker 7: I nailed it or anything like that.
Speaker 3: I just kind of gave it up.
Speaker 1: And well, like you said, it was just like any
Speaker 1: other audition you had been totally money that. It was
Speaker 1: just like another yeah, for.
Speaker 3: Sure, checkbox now.
Speaker 7: So then, and it was wild because the separation and
Speaker 7: time was insane. It was super long, so like it
Speaker 7: was months what so by the third to the in
Speaker 7: ring physicality.
Speaker 3: Tryout was like maybe two and a half three.
Speaker 2: Oh, at this one, I would think he gets ship.
Speaker 3: I would I forgot about it.
Speaker 2: No, I would even I forgot about it.
Speaker 3: What I mean completely do you get a phone call?
Speaker 3: So I get a phone call?
Speaker 7: And I made it back to the fourth and final audition,
Speaker 7: which is in ring physicality and what that means. They
Speaker 7: narrowed it down to I believe it was at the
Speaker 7: time fourteen or fifteen girls.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I have a question. I have a question. Well,
Speaker 2: first of all, going in, do you feel, not knowing
Speaker 2: about this, that you are fit enough for this? Like
Speaker 2: were you already an athlete like you are now, meaning
Speaker 2: were you still in the shape ready to go?
Speaker 3: Fitness was definitely like still a part of me.
Speaker 7: However, when it comes to a sport wrestling, never in
Speaker 7: my life except like horsing around with my brothers, you know.
Speaker 7: So that was definitely intimidating and scary because I've never
Speaker 7: in my life like.
Speaker 3: Hit ropes Like what No, that is totally and I
Speaker 3: was like intimidated in that manner. But then the first
Speaker 3: day it was wild.
Speaker 7: So we're doing like four rolls, backward roles and for me,
Speaker 7: I'm a field athlete.
Speaker 3: I like both seet on the floor. So immediately I.
Speaker 8: Was like, what the this is so hard?
Speaker 7: Like it was insane. And then four girls immediately right yeah,
Speaker 7: because they're they're not.
Speaker 2: They can't even they couldn't even hold well.
Speaker 7: And like not and I don't if anything, I'm like,
Speaker 7: good for you because they're like, yeah, not happening.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to get slapped. Cool, I'm not going
Speaker 3: to take a clothes line. No, you want me to
Speaker 3: do a back bump, I don't think.
Speaker 1: So they left on their own.
Speaker 3: They were like yeah, they're like no, no, you're down to
Speaker 3: eight or seven now.
Speaker 7: Now we're down to I think eight, okay yea, and
Speaker 7: how long does this?
Speaker 3: So four weeks?
Speaker 1: Four weeks, four weeks of U after a.
Speaker 3: Day and they're teaching you literally like.
Speaker 2: Keep going.
Speaker 7: You were very wait, actually, you guys, I love your
Speaker 7: goddamn podcast.
Speaker 3: First of all, I didn't even say that.
Speaker 7: I didn't even say thank you so much for having
Speaker 7: me on, because when I watch or watched, I feel
Speaker 7: like I.
Speaker 3: Actually visioning you guys.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you guys actually need to throw this on YouTube
Speaker 7: so people can see it, because they would be that's
Speaker 7: another little money little thing, Randall.
Speaker 8: I know you like my nave that, but it is
Speaker 8: seriously so good, Like I hadn't seen you guys in
Speaker 8: in a minute, and so I just listened to your
Speaker 8: little sneak peek, like what's it come, you know?
Speaker 7: And then obviously the first episode and I was like,
Speaker 7: oh my god, they're the same, like straight up.
Speaker 1: You're like by you love it.
Speaker 2: People understand that this is no.
Speaker 3: I know, it is so good to it.
Speaker 1: Thank you for being on it.
Speaker 3: It is Oh no, I'm super stoked.
Speaker 2: You're like family. So it's like you already Mexican Italian.
Speaker 3: I love to talk, give me a give me a mic.
Speaker 2: We are dropping the mic. Okay here more. Okay, you're
Speaker 2: exciting for people because I mean, come on, become a
Speaker 2: w W superstar and they.
Speaker 3: Don't do the Diva search anymore. They don't know they
Speaker 3: took it out. They don't even we're not even called
Speaker 3: divas anymore. We're all called w W superstars. Wow, you
Speaker 3: know equality, equality you go so now, so.
Speaker 7: Now we're in the in in ring part right, and
Speaker 7: it's like, okay, each day is obviously different. But the
Speaker 7: first like three days after my initial first week, I
Speaker 7: literally cannot lift my like I was staying with at
Speaker 7: the time when I got the job. I was living
Speaker 7: with my girlfriend and she had those little baby gates
Speaker 7: or the doggy gates or whatever because she.
Speaker 3: Had little dogs.
Speaker 7: I could not get over it. I had to lift
Speaker 7: my leg with my that's how bad. And new muscles,
Speaker 7: all new muscles that were being worked that I had
Speaker 7: never in a million years even thought I even had.
Speaker 3: Wow, So it was insane.
Speaker 7: But anyway, so basically, you do the in ring, try
Speaker 7: out to see if you can handle the physicality and.
Speaker 3: If they like you and see potential.
Speaker 7: And all that really promised you was you could hopefully
Speaker 7: at the end get a developmental deal. You got a shot,
Speaker 7: a shot right to learn how to wrestle. They take
Speaker 7: the acting classes, create your character will help guide you.
Speaker 7: And then you're also traveling and doing live shows for
Speaker 7: like ten people, setting up a ring like doing the deal.
Speaker 3: So that's the development. It's a grind. It's a grind.
Speaker 7: So then after those four weeks, that's what everybody's trying
Speaker 7: out for, that's what everyone's.
Speaker 3: Hoping for, just that development. Yes, okay, four of us
Speaker 3: got it.
Speaker 2: The developmental contret so you're cell right, and that's a
Speaker 2: big deal. I'd i'd be off the chop the charts.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all like so like life changing. This was everything.
Speaker 7: Meanwhile, I had met Jonathan now my husband, four weeks,
Speaker 7: five weeks before I started my in ring physicality.
Speaker 2: Oh so two months you've been dating at this point, right,
Speaker 2: four or five weeks before?
Speaker 3: Four week probably now three months, two two months.
Speaker 7: So I met him like right, like literally right before.
Speaker 2: Just because he's, by the way, the nicest human being
Speaker 2: on the planet. And another, by the way, those of
Speaker 2: you that don't know Natalie's husband, you look him up
Speaker 2: on the ground. Okay, dude is shredded superstar like superhero
Speaker 2: Superman again, not like my jelly rolls, but nicest guy
Speaker 2: on the planet. Nice. I love him, And I know
Speaker 2: he's your business partner. And you guys, you guys have
Speaker 2: a huge brand company and all that stuff. But but
Speaker 2: go ahead, so how did you guys meet?
Speaker 3: We met actually on the gram.
Speaker 7: He has a whole nother story like how how I
Speaker 7: went down, But basically it started with a like and
Speaker 7: this was and this was right before Instagram, but you
Speaker 7: couldn't even DM anybody, and and and you couldn't. Uh,
Speaker 7: Instagram was only four Apple phones.
Speaker 2: Do you remember that? I know that I didn't know.
Speaker 2: I didn't. I got it late late the game.
Speaker 7: So it was like super brand, like super I remember
Speaker 7: how many followers he had because I was like, who
Speaker 7: is he had twenty five k and I was like.
Speaker 3: Who is he?
Speaker 2: Wow?
Speaker 5: I had?
Speaker 3: I had? I had, I had five? Yeah, see you doubles? Okay, baby,
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7: So I saw all of a sudden, I saw this
Speaker 7: dude that I had never seen before, like a couple
Speaker 7: of photos and they weren't like the thirst photos of
Speaker 7: like bikini like nah, it was it was the book
Speaker 7: the Five Level Languages.
Speaker 1: Can I tell you? He liked the fact that I
Speaker 1: posted probably didn't have his many likes, so he's like,
Speaker 1: I got to like the ones because then she'll notice.
Speaker 3: Something he had. Ye jan smart.
Speaker 7: That's why I literally married the guy because he's smart.
Speaker 2: I know him. I don't look at thinking, yeah, it's
Speaker 2: all up here besides the fact that it's a flawless physique,
Speaker 2: but yes, the guy is very upstairs.
Speaker 3: Oh he's going to love you guys for this.
Speaker 7: He's going to be like, yeah, make sure you tune into.
Speaker 2: Love.
Speaker 3: But so that's kind of how it went down.
Speaker 7: And then he likes linked up shot me his email
Speaker 7: in a comment, and then we were emailing back and forth.
Speaker 3: No, we might not actually across the gym.
Speaker 2: Real, so ship, I would never meet it a freaking
Speaker 2: gym for a day because I couldn't get through six.
Speaker 1: When I was dating. If you weren't giving me alcohol,
Speaker 1: I wasn't showing up.
Speaker 2: Okay, well that okay again, things some things could be
Speaker 2: left unsaid. Thank you very much for that, la la okay.
Speaker 3: Question.
Speaker 1: When you were auditioned to WW, were they casting that
Speaker 1: you know of four Total Divas? Were they looking for
Speaker 1: the next Total Diva?
Speaker 7: No, so I did not know of Total Diva, so
Speaker 7: that all kind of goes into the same timeframe. So
Speaker 7: they were casting at that time, but they did not
Speaker 7: make it like public. It was more in house. So
Speaker 7: WW was trying to decide whether or not they already
Speaker 7: had who they were going to have on the cast.
Speaker 7: So they really only needed two more girls, and they
Speaker 7: were originally going to bring up two NXT girls up
Speaker 7: on the main roster as well as be a part
Speaker 7: of Total Divas. Then I have no idea where the
Speaker 7: shift happened. But the shift happened, thank God in my favor.
Speaker 7: Else I want to be sitting where somebody somehow said,
Speaker 7: you know, what would be great is to have two
Speaker 7: brand new girls, fresh that know nothing about the business.
Speaker 2: How long wa WD are you a developmental girl? When
Speaker 2: they make this call?
Speaker 3: I got my job within forty eight hours, so I
Speaker 3: got my developmental deal. So they got offered four.
Speaker 7: So I told Jonathan like, oh my god, kay whatever
Speaker 7: you know, like, I got it, I got it, I
Speaker 7: got it. Then I get a call saying, hey, by
Speaker 7: the way, since you live in La, do you mind
Speaker 7: going in on this audition slash interview can't really tell
Speaker 7: you exactly what it is.
Speaker 3: Is that in the other And I was like, yeah, sure,
Speaker 3: so I go in.
Speaker 7: It's being a Murray, so everybody knows Murray's makes road
Speaker 7: rural road rules.
Speaker 3: Kardashians, Kardashians. That's all you got it, That's all I
Speaker 3: gotta do, say.
Speaker 2: Murray, the original, original and real World, the pioneer of reality.
Speaker 3: Totally there.
Speaker 2: You go. Tell us because when I met you at
Speaker 2: your agent William wore Brad a mutual friend, he had
Speaker 2: told because he represents the rock ye and brought the
Speaker 2: Rock up. Just tell me kind of your Rock like
Speaker 2: relationship history, like it's cool like whatever mentor whatever it is.
Speaker 7: It honestly like the whole WWE kind of experience. I
Speaker 7: guess how I walked into that specific job at that
Speaker 7: specific time was all I guess.
Speaker 3: I don't want to say dream because that's so cliche.
Speaker 3: It is, but it's so not like it will not
Speaker 3: happen again.
Speaker 7: So some like to someone when they don't do the
Speaker 7: Diva searches number two Total Divas is on.
Speaker 3: It's probably way out right.
Speaker 1: As long as vander Pump eight eight Wow.
Speaker 2: Okay, so that world is different today. But came into
Speaker 2: it like the Rock was just like like just explaination.
Speaker 7: No, he wasn't because he was already transitioned, so he
Speaker 7: was never.
Speaker 3: On the road.
Speaker 1: Yes, she had John Cena.
Speaker 7: John Cena was on the road with us wow constantly.
Speaker 7: So he was the only one. Rock would only come
Speaker 7: back like radical exactly for like a big moment.
Speaker 2: What do you mean, like you're you're you're an actress
Speaker 2: or a brand, a wrestler or everything, and the Rock
Speaker 2: shows up twenty million dollar movie stars slash wrestlers. Does
Speaker 2: he just come to hang out with you and like
Speaker 2: shoot the ship. Do you go to the gym and
Speaker 2: pump iron? Do you lift weights? What do you do?
Speaker 7: I mean not when I was there. I mean he
Speaker 7: might have been. He might have, but not my days.
Speaker 7: My days is he has his you know, room, and
Speaker 7: he it's like social to get in and do his
Speaker 7: job and then get out because Simon is money and
Speaker 7: he's busy totally. So I remember like passing out a
Speaker 7: WrestleMania and I'm this when I passed Brad.
Speaker 3: But I didn't know it was Brad at the time.
Speaker 7: And that was like the first time that I said hello.
Speaker 7: So it was like an awesome like just a normal
Speaker 7: encounter instead of you don't want to be like.
Speaker 2: You want to be door, No, I don't want to be.
Speaker 3: No, you don't you.
Speaker 2: Don't genuine totally interest. Sure, please take me or pick
Speaker 2: get it.
Speaker 3: I really get that for sure.
Speaker 7: So I was like, you know, lucky enough to just
Speaker 7: like even coincidentally run into Rock and then it was
Speaker 7: Brad and then kind of like a little bit of
Speaker 7: entourage guys that happened to be because he was performing
Speaker 7: for WrestleMania got to introduce say what's up hello, introduce
Speaker 7: myself and kept it pushing. But then like but then
Speaker 7: I think about four or five months later, I get
Speaker 7: a call. I'm doing a shoot and it's our I
Speaker 7: can't remember her position. I think it's public relation maybe,
Speaker 7: but anyways, gives me a call and says, hey, even
Speaker 7: would you take a meeting with this guy Brad Slater?
Speaker 3: And I'm like, you're like what After.
Speaker 7: We got into w W, that's when like business started
Speaker 7: really like like no, no, no where Jonathan and I
Speaker 7: really wanted to utilize the platform.
Speaker 3: Yes, because it's like.
Speaker 2: So that's where you started saying let's try to brand.
Speaker 7: Yes of course, yeah, right, well and not only that
Speaker 7: going into w W as well, Jonathan is smart and
Speaker 7: he with my contract he was he helped you totally
Speaker 7: where like I had my whole website and everything. That's
Speaker 7: why I was able to have my name and stuff
Speaker 7: like that, which is alous.
Speaker 2: It's like it's like I I created la There was
Speaker 2: no LAA before.
Speaker 1: Give me a break.
Speaker 3: That's what they all think.
Speaker 1: Definitely getting voted getting voted off Mom and my dad.
Speaker 3: There you go, Hey.
Speaker 2: I'm getting voted off the island.
Speaker 1: You're getting voted off the island with Laala.
Speaker 3: Give them.
Speaker 2: Okay, wait get back to wait back the business.
Speaker 1: We can go back to business. But there's a big
Speaker 1: question that I have. Yes, at what point in your
Speaker 1: life did you say I got to get sober?
Speaker 3: M m oh into I got sober when?
Speaker 7: Well, first, I was raised so in a really really strict,
Speaker 7: strict household. So once I ended up leaving my parents,
Speaker 7: that was almost like where it was like all bets
Speaker 7: are off where I'm like, wait a minute, I don't
Speaker 7: have a curfew, like it is poppin' right, and then,
Speaker 7: you know, bad decision after another.
Speaker 3: I got into, you know, a lot of trouble.
Speaker 7: And then my oldest brother actually ended up getting sober,
Speaker 7: and he basically in a sense I always looked up
Speaker 7: to him, so I was like, damn, well, I mean
Speaker 7: if he's doing it, and I'm I'm I was depressed
Speaker 7: and my life was like you know, I was throwing
Speaker 7: it literally away, and I was not raised the way
Speaker 7: that I was. Some of the decisions that I was
Speaker 7: making where you know, for anyone that's listening to, like
Speaker 7: especially parents and stuff like I feel so bad to
Speaker 7: this day, like.
Speaker 3: My parents are rock stars, They're my everything. They they.
Speaker 7: Had no like input in the sense of like where
Speaker 7: they should feel bad because a parent is always going
Speaker 7: to feel bad if their child's not.
Speaker 1: Doing well, wealthy right, maybe they had done something wrong total.
Speaker 7: Or something or didn't do went left or right, whatever
Speaker 7: you want to say, you know what I'm saying. And
Speaker 7: he addiction runs like deep in my family too. So
Speaker 7: I got sober originally at twenty three.
Speaker 1: Wow, you were young.
Speaker 3: That's a baby.
Speaker 2: So that what that means that she had a really
Speaker 2: good time from fifteen to twenty three, I would.
Speaker 7: Say eighteen to twenty three when.
Speaker 3: She moved out once I moved out to my parents.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, And I have to make light because obviously
Speaker 2: I've been with Laala, you know for a long time,
Speaker 2: and and and and you know, I've been through her addiction.
Speaker 2: My dad's sober like twenty plus years, so he runs.
Speaker 2: It runs in my family. Yeah, but I gotta say, so,
Speaker 2: when you got sober that young, similar to her, because
Speaker 2: she got sober late twenties, what was the challenge and
Speaker 2: what got you through being staying sober? Because you I've
Speaker 2: read quotes from you where you say most people fail once,
Speaker 2: but don't give up, like so what, so what does
Speaker 2: that mean.
Speaker 7: It's kind of like one of the things where I
Speaker 7: know that I put a lot of like because I
Speaker 7: work a program, like I work a twelve step program,
Speaker 7: so I feel like I infuse that in a lot
Speaker 7: of aspects of my life.
Speaker 3: So if you fail.
Speaker 7: So when I first got into a or my program,
Speaker 7: I do the whole deal. I have a sponsor, I
Speaker 7: sponsor women, I go to meetings. It sucks, it's super annoying,
Speaker 7: it's super hard. It's so it's I'm not it's so
Speaker 7: like not what I want to do. I never want
Speaker 7: to go to a meeting, but I always feel better after.
Speaker 7: I never want to, Like I love all my girls
Speaker 7: that I sponsor, but like a lot of times I
Speaker 7: want to be like not doing yeah, because of course,
Speaker 7: because that's like I don't want to lose what I
Speaker 7: have now, because I never want to go back to
Speaker 7: the dark moment.
Speaker 3: That that I used.
Speaker 7: To dabble in, you know, But it is, it's it's
Speaker 7: definitely that's why they always say, like a simple program,
Speaker 7: but it takes a lot of hard work. But in
Speaker 7: how I infuse it into all aspects of life is
Speaker 7: we're going to fail, We're gonna get told no so
Speaker 7: many times, like I've gotten told no way more than
Speaker 7: I've ever been told yes. So it's it's just making
Speaker 7: sure that you do all the cliche ship we always hear,
Speaker 7: get back up, keep going, believing in yourself and kind
Speaker 7: of like keep.
Speaker 3: The engine going totally.
Speaker 7: But I think I was super cocky too, and I
Speaker 7: was like, I'm never gonna relapse. I'm like, what these
Speaker 7: people are crazy, like super judgmental like this, I am
Speaker 7: not one of these, like you know what I mean.
Speaker 7: On my little poney, So I lasted three years?
Speaker 2: What yep?
Speaker 3: So I lasted three years?
Speaker 7: And I called up my sponsor, who is still my sponsor.
Speaker 7: Now from the beginning, I've noted for like, damn fourteen years.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's amazing, so.
Speaker 7: Would technically I should be celebrating thirteen. She's about to celebrate.
Speaker 2: Fourteen, so I can three years sober.
Speaker 3: So I'm three years sober.
Speaker 7: I call her up, MO, I love you so much,
Speaker 7: thank you for everything, because sometimes as well as you know,
Speaker 7: like you know the promises that if anybody doesn't know,
Speaker 7: like if you work a program, certain things are to
Speaker 7: happen in your life, like normal people get like I
Speaker 7: got my license back.
Speaker 3: Good thing. Yeah, I started paying taxes, you know what
Speaker 3: I mean, like a normal like.
Speaker 2: Lowood like Lala was like like once she got sober
Speaker 2: and God bless her. I tell her every day her
Speaker 2: biggest accomplishment in life will be this. Sure and thirteen
Speaker 2: fourteen months she's been sober. I mean fifteen eighty see,
Speaker 2: but fifteen months been definitely. Miracles have happened daily, weekly,
Speaker 2: and she acknowledged.
Speaker 7: So I, hey, that's what they say. They say, don't
Speaker 7: leave until the miracle happens.
Speaker 3: Legit like as that is you're preaching that big book.
Speaker 7: Okay, three years in and so I start like, obviously,
Speaker 7: you know, getting my life back. I'm feeling good, like
Speaker 7: being great. And so I called him and I was like, oh,
Speaker 7: I love you so much to thank you for everything,
Speaker 7: but I'm good. And she's like, what do you mean good?
Speaker 3: Like what?
Speaker 7: And then she's like, well, you know, I don't suggest this,
Speaker 7: but okay, sure enough. Within like nine months, I think,
Speaker 7: I like white knuckled it or so they say, that's
Speaker 7: a phrase. I guess without working a program, without having
Speaker 7: a sponsor, just like living like just a sober dry
Speaker 7: they called right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And within nine months.
Speaker 7: Just it was just like on and popping, like once
Speaker 7: I had a little it was just.
Speaker 3: Like I never stopped. So then I was out for
Speaker 3: like two years, for two years and we're really bad.
Speaker 2: Rehab rehab, and then never that was it.
Speaker 3: No, And then so I met Jonathan straight out of rehab.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 7: Wow, I know this is like kind of mic drop stuff.
Speaker 7: I haven't dropped any of this stuff.
Speaker 2: But this is the stuff I think that that matters
Speaker 2: because all the other ship, like you know, success and
Speaker 2: all that, but this is the stuff that I think
Speaker 2: people like Laala gets so many so much love for sobriety,
Speaker 2: you know, and and I give her more.
Speaker 3: Kind of love's ever given.
Speaker 2: She she loves that. Let me ask you a question.
Speaker 2: Jonathan is sober not sober.
Speaker 3: No, he's a normy. So we got on Friday.
Speaker 2: We pay the next day.
Speaker 1: This is what I love about normies. You can go
Speaker 1: out and get drunk and the next day you'll be
Speaker 1: like I'm done for a minute, like you had a
Speaker 1: good time. It's like I got sucked up last night.
Speaker 1: I better get it pop in so I can say normal,
Speaker 1: Like we.
Speaker 2: Went to Sunday. We went to Sunday. This is just me.
Speaker 2: We went to Sundance Alie to sit here. We went
Speaker 2: out and was it Friday Friday? And we got back
Speaker 2: to the house whatever, like two o'clock and we sat
Speaker 2: in the kitchen and continue to drink. And then I
Speaker 2: woke up the next day and I said to God, please,
Speaker 2: where's the ivy doctor? Brought the IV doctor in? Oh,
Speaker 2: got that. Then I had to go to tubing and sled,
Speaker 2: followed by bloody Mary and then and then and then
Speaker 2: I said, Okay, I'm good for like two or three months.
Speaker 2: I don't need to have another, you know. Now It's
Speaker 2: like right, no me? So yeah. The fact of like,
Speaker 2: but but I what I'm saying is like I just
Speaker 2: but I was with Law and obviously in her dark,
Speaker 2: dark phase, I've never seen Listen, she's a little person,
Speaker 2: you know, I've never seen somebody. She would get mad
Speaker 2: at me. She would say we wereround. This is I
Speaker 2: didn't understand until it got really really bad. She would
Speaker 2: say to me like I'd say, babe, can we go home? Now?
Speaker 2: It's like twelve thirty sep. You're a loser. Your drink
Speaker 2: is half full. Nobody leaves a drink on the table.
Speaker 2: A loser leaves a drink on the tail. I mean
Speaker 2: it was it was a dark, dark, dark place. And
Speaker 2: now now she's like, Babe, can we watch Friends today?
Speaker 2: That teven fifteen?
Speaker 1: Because I go to sleep at eight and go to
Speaker 1: restaurants that that don't have alcohol.
Speaker 3: Yeah, normally I would would sure, why would we go here?
Speaker 2: She would not know?
Speaker 1: Everyone else around me is like, they don't have alcoholic.
Speaker 2: They've given your line my favorite line when the waiter
Speaker 2: always comes to you and says, do you want to
Speaker 2: drink tonight?
Speaker 1: Tell them what you say or if you if you
Speaker 1: don't want your restaurant burned down?
Speaker 3: You know, because seriously, same light.
Speaker 6: And ship up.
Speaker 1: If you give me alcohol.
Speaker 7: One hundred percent, lames are happening, games are going down,
Speaker 7: We're kicking through doors like you you know, it's what
Speaker 7: you want totally.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So then right out of rehab. So then I don't
Speaker 7: tell him. I don't know, I know, how could I
Speaker 7: like all of a sudden, don't do this anybody that's listening.
Speaker 3: But in my in my head, I'm thinking, like, there's
Speaker 3: no way that, like the first couple of days, I'm
Speaker 3: gonna be.
Speaker 7: Like, oh, by the way, I just got out of
Speaker 7: rehab and this is uh, you know.
Speaker 3: I'm rock solid over here. You know, I have.
Speaker 2: To laugh only because as somebody who's been and lived
Speaker 2: through an alcoholic partner.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know you for sure I could laugh now
Speaker 7: because we went we through it, you know.
Speaker 2: And you're standing here totally to inspire people. And by
Speaker 2: the way, I have to laugh because I know that
Speaker 2: both of you inspire people all over the world to
Speaker 2: be sober, to be healthy if they if they need
Speaker 2: that real.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what if that's the only thing I
Speaker 1: ever do in my life, yo, to inspire someone. I agree,
Speaker 1: and like I that is.
Speaker 7: Not only that, but because I think too for females,
Speaker 7: and I feel like there's this like stigma with girls,
Speaker 7: especially for just alcoholism or addiction in general. Like I
Speaker 7: feel like I don't know why, but I feel like
Speaker 7: I talk about it a little bit more. But with Jonathan,
Speaker 7: I think the best thing that happened to me. So
Speaker 7: I didn't tell him right and we ended up how long,
Speaker 7: I only lasted a few weeks because his best friend
Speaker 7: was getting married.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's a good song his I know.
Speaker 7: I wish Jonathan was here because he would he would
Speaker 7: literally tell you verbatim, because I there's moments that I
Speaker 7: obviously don't remember. But so his best and I've only
Speaker 7: known Jonathan, mind you, maybe we've gone on a couple dates,
Speaker 7: that's dates, and so this is like the first time
Speaker 7: that I'm actually sleeping over to. So like, uh, obviously
Speaker 7: it was like a joint hotel room and stuff, but
Speaker 7: still first like yeah, and like meeting his best friend
Speaker 7: and his best friend's wife and all her friends and stuff.
Speaker 3: So I'm like, oh, yeah, so where do they go?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 3: Vegas? Cool?
Speaker 5: God?
Speaker 7: Yeah, So I'm not even thinking anything of it, right
Speaker 7: because of course not. So we get we get.
Speaker 3: There, first night. Cool, well, no, first night.
Speaker 7: We get into the room and everybody starts doing a
Speaker 7: round of shots around to Jack and so in my
Speaker 7: head it's like, you know, the devil, the devil Nat
Speaker 7: and then the angel Nat. The devil, the one that
Speaker 7: always wants to take me down. She's a tough cooking man.
Speaker 7: She is a tough she wants to take me out
Speaker 7: every day. I'm like, I'm like, stay down, like dang,
Speaker 7: Like she is tough. So she's strong and she just
Speaker 7: she's strong armed, and I've ended up.
Speaker 3: Okay I did. So then but now, but so I
Speaker 3: took it down.
Speaker 2: How long have you point?
Speaker 1: She just got out of rehab at.
Speaker 3: This point, I most probably maybe three and a half four.
Speaker 7: Oh, okay, so I was fresh, right, so you would
Speaker 7: think that it would be fresh in my brain, like yay,
Speaker 7: you just what's wrong with you? And I paid rehab
Speaker 7: for myself, so I it was a pretty penny.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So I took the hit too where I'm like, what's
Speaker 7: wrong with you? But addiction you do crazy things. So
Speaker 7: first night, everything's good, have some drinks, we go out
Speaker 7: to the club.
Speaker 3: Everything's fine. Come back the next morning, I'm like, hey.
Speaker 7: I was cool, like last night, right, like right, And
Speaker 7: he kept thinking, but he was no, I did, but
Speaker 7: kind of vaguely, but I still wanted to get that reassurance.
Speaker 7: So he was like, yeah, everything was cool, it was good, good, good, Okay.
Speaker 3: This is a like m.
Speaker 7: I don't know, I can't remember exactly what time in
Speaker 7: the morning. And then so that night comes, we go
Speaker 7: out on and popping. It's like now one, two, three
Speaker 7: in the morning. We go to some little buffet and
Speaker 7: it's like all you can drink Mimosa's or something. So
Speaker 7: I start going in there, go back to the room.
Speaker 7: I think we fell asleep for like an hour, and
Speaker 7: then all of a sudden, I woke up like a
Speaker 7: bright idea and it was a pool party for her
Speaker 7: like her, which is girl so terrible like impression. Yeah,
Speaker 7: I decide cool, I almost start early. Yeah, it's six am,
Speaker 7: so I down an entire bottle of jack, no.
Speaker 2: The dome, an s higher bottle of jack.
Speaker 1: That's like you would have had a lot of fun together.
Speaker 3: So Jonathan he hears me, he's sleeping. He hears me
Speaker 3: like all of a sudden, I'm all light loud.
Speaker 7: I'm naturally loud anyways, so now I'm like yes, like
Speaker 7: he comes out like and he like looks at me,
Speaker 7: and I don't recall this, but he did like a
Speaker 7: double take because he's.
Speaker 3: Like, wait a minute, it's seven she is she drunk?
Speaker 7: So anyways, long story short, we end up going to
Speaker 7: that party.
Speaker 3: I am like eighth, just a disaster like extensions kind
Speaker 3: of like falling out of my head.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, like bad.
Speaker 7: He called my mom and was like, like, your daughter.
Speaker 3: Has an alcohol problem or moms like she just got
Speaker 3: out of rehab. My Mom's like I know.
Speaker 2: Tells ever tells him everything and now what does he do?
Speaker 7: And now he's basically stuck because I'm obviously he's not
Speaker 7: going to be a jerk and just say boom me
Speaker 7: out the room.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 7: So the next day or no, later on that night,
Speaker 7: I like totally sober up and he basically like looks
Speaker 7: me in my face and gets kind of crazy, and
Speaker 7: I felt like a little kid where I was like, yeah,
Speaker 7: all of a sudden, I was like, oh, my best
Speaker 7: behavior for because we still had like thirty six hours
Speaker 7: left at the trip.
Speaker 2: Oh man, this is.
Speaker 3: So those thirty six hours.
Speaker 2: He is a rock star. Yeah, I know, I mean
Speaker 2: to handle this because I thought anybody else would have
Speaker 2: been like, here's your Southwest ticket, here's the driver.
Speaker 3: Totally.
Speaker 7: One hundred person we're going to get through. So well
Speaker 7: he wasn't that nice. But but those thirty six hours
Speaker 7: I was like, no, no, hell no, I wasn't need
Speaker 7: that day.
Speaker 3: Yes I was.
Speaker 7: I actually was, because he said we had like a
Speaker 7: big because everything was changing, so I had.
Speaker 3: It was actually right before my w W tryout when
Speaker 3: that happened to.
Speaker 1: So god girl, yeah, this is yeah.
Speaker 3: Could you imagine me drinking?
Speaker 2: Well, well, none of that would you would have made
Speaker 2: it through. So that is God's way because you after that,
Speaker 2: I assume you both you get you know he he.
Speaker 7: Gets ober, Yeah, because he he kind of in a
Speaker 7: sense gave me an ultimatum if I wanted to continue
Speaker 7: to date him or see where this relationship was going.
Speaker 7: There was no way I would have to go back
Speaker 7: to the way that because obviously my mom let him
Speaker 7: in on I worked a program. She was sober, right,
Speaker 7: So he told me that, and then that's when I
Speaker 7: was like, all right, well that's it, that's from there.
Speaker 3: Got you've just done. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 7: It took me probably a little bit to hop on
Speaker 7: and like I had to put my tail between my legs.
Speaker 7: Call Mo my sponsor, because there was no way that
Speaker 7: I was going to have a new sponsor and put
Speaker 7: all my dirt out on the street like that.
Speaker 3: No, I was like, I was like, no, no, no, Mo, Hey,
Speaker 3: hey take me back. You already know how much up
Speaker 3: high She knew it. She did, and so she picked
Speaker 3: up phone and.
Speaker 2: Literally a story. I mean, now I have now when
Speaker 2: I see John that to give him like so much
Speaker 2: more love, because you look at somebody's spouse just like
Speaker 2: they look at us, and they don't know what. Nobody
Speaker 2: knows what anybody's been through, like for sure, and relationships
Speaker 2: like look if you look at Lala and I and
Speaker 2: they look at us and they're like, you know, oh
Speaker 2: their course and they fly on, it's all bullshit like
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, you know. And that's
Speaker 2: why I love this podcast because people get to see
Speaker 2: how we are. I give Jonathan mad love and respect
Speaker 2: because you know, I had been through it with her
Speaker 2: for a long time. Again, she tricked me for a
Speaker 2: long time because I didn't know she had like a
Speaker 2: full alcoholic.
Speaker 7: I tried to trick Jonathan, but.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't. He was quicker. He was quicker. He
Speaker 2: was because already got out of Rehabit was a quicker
Speaker 2: like heads up. Lala was just more like I was.
Speaker 2: Like she would hide the day drinking, for sure. So
Speaker 2: when the day she would.
Speaker 1: Wake up and you're not down a party like that,
Speaker 1: well then I'll just this in my coffee cup and
Speaker 1: we'll call it good.
Speaker 2: Right one day, and then one day she was a
Speaker 2: little off in the morning. This is kind of the beginning.
Speaker 2: One day you were a little off in the morning.
Speaker 2: We were swimming in the pool and it was like
Speaker 2: nine am, and I was like, you sound a little
Speaker 2: off you Okay, I was already I was already onto
Speaker 2: her at that point, and I said, let me, let me.
Speaker 2: She put the cup down, I grabbed it and took
Speaker 2: a sip.
Speaker 1: No, you didn't know, you didn't. I remember this vividly
Speaker 1: ident and I was so knocking threw over the what
Speaker 1: happened the pool? Going to let him have a tape?
Speaker 2: It was vodka. She threw it over the balcon of
Speaker 2: the pool. And then at that point, you.
Speaker 1: Know, it games up, games up, her.
Speaker 2: Last, her, her last whatever, what do you call it?
Speaker 2: Your last day out?
Speaker 1: Yeah, my last hurrah.
Speaker 2: She she got on the plane we're coming back from
Speaker 2: a Disney.
Speaker 1: World, which I was black out the whole time.
Speaker 2: And why didn't I didn't. I didn't even see her
Speaker 2: because I was. It was so bad and I just didn't.
Speaker 2: It was so bad that I for me at that point,
Speaker 2: it was kind of the disconnected. It was the end
Speaker 2: of our relationship, in my opinion. I'd written her a
Speaker 2: letter and said that this is I can't do this anymore,
Speaker 2: and if you can figure it out, I'll be there
Speaker 2: for you, but for now we're done. And so I've
Speaker 2: written this letter. So we got home. I was going
Speaker 2: to read it to her, but we got on the
Speaker 2: plane and and and uh and I remember she.
Speaker 1: Had a bottle of was it Tennessee?
Speaker 2: Tennessee?
Speaker 1: All I cared about drinking.
Speaker 2: From the morning all the way together the plane and
Speaker 2: got on the plane. She's like out of a rap video,
Speaker 2: you know, in her hand, and she drank herself until
Speaker 2: she's passed out. And it's when she passed out, I
Speaker 2: wrote this letter. And and then you know it came home.
Speaker 1: Oh, don't get emotional.
Speaker 7: I know it's super tough because it's one of those
Speaker 7: things like that's why it's it's nice to laugh and
Speaker 7: joke about it, because it was such a dark and serious.
Speaker 1: While for me to be able to have him look
Speaker 1: back on it.
Speaker 2: I couldn't laugh for a long.
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm so ashamed of that. Like for
Speaker 1: sure now we look back on it.
Speaker 2: But I'll tell you something there was like there was
Speaker 2: like yeah, I also didn't believe like because I was
Speaker 2: ready to be done with, you know, with everything, and
Speaker 2: there was and there was so when when she walked
Speaker 2: to my office that day, I was gonna read the letter,
Speaker 2: she said, you know, I'm an alcoholic. She had never
Speaker 2: said that before, and so then I said, okay, obviously
Speaker 2: I'm not going to turn my back on somebody. That's
Speaker 2: so I was like, okay, let's go play this game.
Speaker 2: Because she told me she's gonna stop righting. So we
Speaker 2: and and and and I, you know, go where you
Speaker 2: party and have a fun night. A couple of lines.
Speaker 2: This is a different thing. This was seven days. But
Speaker 2: so I wrote it out and I had such resentment
Speaker 2: and such anger. So when she got sober, I couldn't
Speaker 2: let it go. And so there was a couple months
Speaker 2: and and to just say a love story short. When
Speaker 2: we went to a.
Speaker 1: Meeting, you know, I called him. I was like, which,
Speaker 1: keep in mind there were many times where I would
Speaker 1: tell him meet me.
Speaker 2: She she couldn't show up, She'd fall down. It was mortifying.
Speaker 2: I couldn't make plans. I'm talking about at the end
Speaker 2: when it got really early.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but then I was like, hey, I need you
Speaker 1: to meet me a meeting. I was like, they're early.
Speaker 2: So she said, like seven o'clock. She said seven o'clock.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, this is another like and there's about
Speaker 2: thirty days in and forty days in and I show up.
Speaker 2: She's standing out front, like at six forty five waiting
Speaker 2: for me, couldn't wait to walk be in there, two
Speaker 2: steep people, and I'm like, what is going on? I'm confused.
Speaker 2: She could even make it some days, and so that
Speaker 2: was probably the beginning for me and the excite. And
Speaker 2: then and then about ninety days in or six days in,
Speaker 2: when it still had a lot of resentment from things
Speaker 2: that had been done, she she said, look, you you
Speaker 2: have to make a decision, like like you can't like
Speaker 2: either you have to like be with me and forgive me,
Speaker 2: or you have to like walk away, because you know
Speaker 2: you can't. And I did a lot of soul searching,
Speaker 2: and my soul searching was that I can't punish somebody
Speaker 2: who's in recovery either. I have to go off on
Speaker 2: my own and be away.
Speaker 1: And I told him that because for me, it was
Speaker 1: like at that.
Speaker 2: Moment, you had given me a lot of time and
Speaker 2: I but I.
Speaker 1: Also told him, I'm like, my recovery is more important
Speaker 1: than you right now, my family, because I'm not helpful
Speaker 1: to anybody. If I pick up a drink and I'm
Speaker 1: already beating myself up, like I can't have.
Speaker 7: You totally because there's so much that you like you
Speaker 7: you bury and then not only that, when you and
Speaker 7: it has to at some point through recovery, it's going
Speaker 7: to surface and it's going to come to light and
Speaker 7: you're going to walk through it. You're going to get
Speaker 7: through it, and it's super painful and you're it's it's
Speaker 7: a lot.
Speaker 2: But eventually forgive yourself the addiction. And I also, you know,
Speaker 2: have been through you know, my own recovery, not for alhostuff,
Speaker 2: but like in life, just to work on myself and things.
Speaker 2: I've totally and I'll tell you that. The final note
Speaker 2: here I'll say is that like I woke up after
Speaker 2: that and I kind of spent some time with myself
Speaker 2: and I said, either this is the woman I love
Speaker 2: and look at her. I've got the best version, or
Speaker 2: I need to go on and move on. Because our
Speaker 2: relationship was, you know, it was struggled for a long time.
Speaker 2: And that's when we I think we finally just put
Speaker 2: it together and we said, look, you know, in the beginning,
Speaker 2: our relationship you know, was what it was. It was
Speaker 2: not perfect at anyway, but now let's go try to
Speaker 2: create a great relationshipship. We work every day and we're
Speaker 2: still learning things about each other. But you know what,
Speaker 2: like any relationship, we try to talk through things and
Speaker 2: we try to work through things, right, babe. But I
Speaker 2: am very proud, Like I tell her her greatest concimence.
Speaker 2: I don't give a shit about TV shows, and I
Speaker 2: don't care about movies, and I don't care about money
Speaker 2: she makes and all the things that she does her
Speaker 2: sobriety will be her greatest accomplishment. I give her a
Speaker 2: matter respect. I love you.
Speaker 7: Jonathan says the same thing, yeah, because and I think
Speaker 7: it was so a monumental moment for him to actually
Speaker 7: see what a change in me, because it's really hard
Speaker 7: for somebody that does not understand either alcoholism or addiction,
Speaker 7: for somebody to say that I am and not get
Speaker 7: it because they're normal, so they don't understand.
Speaker 3: The severity of like the disease.
Speaker 7: So for him to actually witness full point blank like
Speaker 7: this face in his face, just like wait a minute,
Speaker 7: this is And then who like doctor Deckel and mister Hyde,
Speaker 7: like that's who different people like you're cool?
Speaker 3: This is I don't even know what this is, right, Like,
Speaker 3: who are you?
Speaker 2: Ag? I feel like I feel like our relationship honestly,
Speaker 2: and I don't describe it things, but you know, we've
Speaker 2: had a lot of hills and valleys. I feel like
Speaker 2: the last year was really where it came together. Like
Speaker 2: that's where our relationship. Our relationship before that was was
Speaker 2: crazy and you know, break up and you get sure
Speaker 2: we just were nuts. And now now I have somebody
Speaker 2: who's like, Babe, you'll be here at eight o'clock and
Speaker 2: you'll be here sharp, and I show up seven minutes later.
Speaker 2: She's like, I said, a babe, I'm like, who are you?
Speaker 2: It took me about six months to realize that I
Speaker 2: better show up. Yeah. So I love her for that.
Speaker 2: And you're an amazing badass badass woman, uh to do
Speaker 2: what you've done, and and you both are women who
Speaker 2: are like super successful and on top of the world
Speaker 2: and to be sober in the world you're in. I
Speaker 2: give you mad Cross because our world, you know, is
Speaker 2: not an easy world to operate, you know, sober, so
Speaker 2: real quick, So we're as we end this because this
