Speaker 1: freaking out right now.
Speaker 2: You're very sweet, same is very mutual.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, like you have no idea seeing you
Speaker 1: right now. I have to take a shameless selfie via
Speaker 1: zoom after this just bits healthy because I grew up
Speaker 1: watching you. We both group watching you, so and oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, so am I sorry? I know you as Alexi?
Speaker 1: But am I supposed to call you Alex?
Speaker 3: Whatever you want? It works both, please, I'm.
Speaker 4: Alexis good, Yeah, Alex, he's more official.
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't want to be official. I want to
Speaker 1: be your friend. I'm just gonna call you.
Speaker 3: Everybody here.
Speaker 4: The kids over here closed me out, but because they
Speaker 4: don't know that it means dad or daddy.
Speaker 1: Oh, so, I guess I can't say it. I don't
Speaker 1: know your mouf Lauren. Am I allowed to call him? God?
Speaker 1: You can do it?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Would that be like Abbi?
Speaker 4: Then well he doesn't have that kind of aspect. It's
Speaker 4: just it's just.
Speaker 1: That RN. Did the kids call you Ema? Yeah? Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, so my son's best friend. I'm Jewish, but
Speaker 1: my son's best friend his mom, dad and Emma, and
Speaker 1: so yeah, I love friend Emma too. When when his
Speaker 1: best friend comes over, I'm like, okay, I'll take it.
Speaker 1: All of their friends they call it, just call me up.
Speaker 3: Just that's my.
Speaker 1: Name, that's your moniker, that's that's just your name. But
Speaker 1: it's so interesting. Yeah, because we were at shabbat at
Speaker 1: their house last Friday, and and we were having dinner
Speaker 1: and I'm saying Emma, Emma and his friend, my son
Speaker 1: fan his friend comes from whispers in my ear. Do
Speaker 1: you know my mom's real name? I said, don't shame
Speaker 1: me at shabbat. Nope, she's Ema. I've been watching ninety
Speaker 1: Day Fiance. I want to say, like forever, literally forever,
Speaker 1: but your storyline, like you were the two that I
Speaker 1: really connected with. I find you the most relatable and
Speaker 1: I don't know, I think like Lauren specifically your journey
Speaker 1: and just you guys had pregnancies very fast one year.
Speaker 1: I can relate to that. I have five now, but
Speaker 1: my first four it was like I bang them out
Speaker 1: and it was like, that's wild you did it said,
Speaker 1: being no pun intended.
Speaker 2: But people like cause they know we're on TV. And
Speaker 2: I was like, don't you guys own a TV. And
Speaker 2: we're like, we did, We don't watch ourself that we
Speaker 2: own a TV.
Speaker 1: We never watch yourself.
Speaker 2: We watched our baby specials because he recorded.
Speaker 3: Them on his phone on an episode.
Speaker 4: We get like sometimes you get like tagged in some
Speaker 4: clip or some little part here and there on social media,
Speaker 4: but we never sat down.
Speaker 1: That is wild, Okay. I can't believe she is so old.
Speaker 3: He's very old.
Speaker 1: And he's like he's in kindergarten.
Speaker 3: He always thinks and analyzes everything.
Speaker 2: And I just said to Alex the other day, Shy
Speaker 2: is so much like you in the sense that he
Speaker 2: is smart and analyzes things and overthinks thing. And he's
Speaker 2: like me in the sense that he's scared of everything.
Speaker 2: And Astra and Ari are fearless like you and stubborn
Speaker 2: like you, but the life of the party and sent
Speaker 2: our attention like me.
Speaker 1: And he was like, wow, you're right. I was like,
Speaker 1: I know, that's what happens. They're always in an unusual
Speaker 1: not always the perfect blend of both parties. It's crazy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, see what happens.
Speaker 2: I'm terrified for the teenage years, be terrified.
Speaker 4: Everybody, and everybody says it's going to get harder, going
Speaker 4: to be tough for old issues.
Speaker 3: You have now smaller issues than you're gonna have bigger issues.
Speaker 1: Can people ever say to you? I'm just feel like
Speaker 1: I can relate to you. So people always will say
Speaker 1: to me, and these are comments, and I'm like, I
Speaker 1: don't want to look at these. But since my four
Speaker 1: younger ones were born on reality TV, people always say,
Speaker 1: why do you have so many kids? Why do you
Speaker 1: keep having kids? Do they say that to you guys
Speaker 1: with three kids back to back?
Speaker 3: I mean sometimes I guess I don't know. They ask why.
Speaker 3: So I.
Speaker 4: Saw some comments because again we don't read it too much,
Speaker 4: but sometimes it does go and you do get to
Speaker 4: see it.
Speaker 3: Some people say we did it for TV. We just
Speaker 3: is for TV, and and it's fascinating to me that
Speaker 3: somebody would think that. And then on the flip side
Speaker 3: of it, now I feel like people can't do crazy
Speaker 3: shit like that just for TV. Go possible. Some people
Speaker 3: do stuff like that just for TV.
Speaker 1: Noah, you would have at this point, you would have
Speaker 1: ai that shit just to like, you know, you can
Speaker 1: do so much now, you wouldn't have had to go
Speaker 1: through it if it was just for TV.
Speaker 2: Sorry, though, she became much quicker than we were expecting.
Speaker 2: Like we were we wanted the boys to be close
Speaker 2: in age, and we were going to wait a little bit,
Speaker 2: and I remember poking my head up, I'll be like,
Speaker 2: we have an issue and he was like, well, I
Speaker 2: was like, I'm pregnant and I was like five months
Speaker 2: postpartum from ashures. Oh, so if she came when she
Speaker 2: was meant to come, that's it.
Speaker 1: That's why we have three very quickly. But then you
Speaker 1: finally got your girl, Yes we did. But I don't
Speaker 1: know if you believe in even numbers. I like even numbers.
Speaker 1: So I'm bummed guy of five if I yeah, I
Speaker 1: got pregnant with Bo when I was forty four, so
Speaker 1: probably if I could have had another one, I would have.
Speaker 1: Everyone feel free to judge me for saying that, But
Speaker 1: do you feel like you want one more?
Speaker 3: Well, at this point, she can't have anymore because we did.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, No, it's okay.
Speaker 3: We wanted to do that.
Speaker 2: We wanted to go for one more and I ended
Speaker 2: up having a hysterectomy instead. A few months ago. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's okay, I'm good.
Speaker 3: We thought about it then we.
Speaker 4: You know, thought hard about it, and we ended up talking,
Speaker 4: you cannot have anymore if you try to get pregnant
Speaker 4: again and deliver another baby, it's like fifty to fifty
Speaker 4: then both to be not gonna make it.
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's just.
Speaker 2: And then I have like twin girls our luck. So
Speaker 2: we quit while we were.
Speaker 1: Yeah, did you freeze your eggs?
Speaker 3: No, no, she didn't freeze her eggs, but she has
Speaker 3: I have.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: No, that's also something that the doctor said, you get
Speaker 4: take out her eggs. They out my stuff and put
Speaker 4: it in somebody else.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I carry really well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, technically that's why we're still we have our hands
Speaker 4: full for now.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, I've only offered this to one other person,
Speaker 1: but I am your biggest fan, so I'm offering it
Speaker 1: to you guys as well. I loved being pregnant.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I felt like a beached whale.
Speaker 1: I know, I mean not that part, but I know
Speaker 1: I watched you not enjoy it.
Speaker 2: But it's so sick and so miserable and hot, and
Speaker 2: just like, oh, I hated it.
Speaker 1: I mean I liked being pregnant.
Speaker 2: I liked wearing body con dresses and like having the
Speaker 2: bump and putting my hand there and feeling the baby.
Speaker 2: But I had easiest pregnancies, but the deliveries were hard.
Speaker 2: I was just like breaking out and hot and like wide,
Speaker 2: and with Ari, I had ges tational diabetes and you know,
Speaker 2: but I'm much happier now.
Speaker 1: I mean, that sounds very normal.
Speaker 3: It's normal.
Speaker 4: That's what I keep telling her always too, because you know,
Speaker 4: she thinks that every time she has any kind of
Speaker 4: issue or whatever, she's like, oh, this is insane, and
Speaker 4: like it's normal. People have things, everybody. I feel like
Speaker 4: pregnancies in general are considered like to be something simple
Speaker 4: and like it's not to get pregnant and deliver a baby.
Speaker 4: It's such a huge thing. It's like, oh, yeah, she's pregnant,
Speaker 4: you'll have a baby.
Speaker 1: It's super casptable.
Speaker 2: But then when you're hitting and then you experience like
Speaker 2: difficulties with you, you're like, wow, it's really not that easy.
Speaker 2: And the things women go through it's not just physical,
Speaker 2: it's a mental it's emotional. It's bouncing back. It's just
Speaker 2: like my hair is like falling out, stelling clumps my
Speaker 2: hormones are all over and it's just like.
Speaker 1: A mess, Alex, the things we have to deal with
Speaker 1: this woman.
Speaker 2: No, you're so you're.
Speaker 1: Keeping your mouth set now, why.
Speaker 3: No, I'm trying.
Speaker 1: But you know, you saw my.
Speaker 2: Like we were just having a conversation about carpool and
Speaker 2: he was like, you know, Lauren, I don't even know
Speaker 2: the carpool system.
Speaker 4: It started this week, so I don't know yet know,
Speaker 4: but got what I was trying to say that the
Speaker 4: husband on the flip side is supporting and doing that
Speaker 4: also deals with this stuff, you know, with the hormonal
Speaker 4: crazy wife sometimes is not happy at the moment, and
Speaker 4: and and it's fine as well.
Speaker 3: We deal with it and it's great and we do
Speaker 3: it with look.
Speaker 1: Mostly mostly.
Speaker 3: Yes, perfect.
Speaker 2: You assume just like it's that the mom does everything
Speaker 2: soccer mom.
Speaker 1: You know, our.
Speaker 4: Kids went to this this temple pre pre care day
Speaker 4: care place. I knew everything in there. I knew I
Speaker 4: was I was the king there in there. But it's
Speaker 4: happy to see me I go again.
Speaker 3: But now.
Speaker 4: He could do knowing all the first time that I
Speaker 4: don't know, and you just started so I was asking, Hey,
Speaker 4: I need to know everything to give me a schedule.
Speaker 1: We're doing three different schools by the way, yes, we.
Speaker 4: Have three different schools, so it's it's complicated and timing needs.
Speaker 3: To be perfect.
Speaker 2: I am the free so far.
Speaker 3: I feel ill prepared.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it's that's so funny. It's always it's
Speaker 1: always the dads that when they get to school, they're like.
Speaker 2: Everyone loves me going there's the mom and he's just.
Speaker 1: Like you feel like you don't want to be the
Speaker 1: better one.
Speaker 2: We're like, it's it's so everything, yeah, because I don't
Speaker 2: see you that much.
Speaker 1: So when Alex comes, well.
Speaker 4: For the first couple of years, I did all the
Speaker 4: job ofs and pickups because she was always pregnant and
Speaker 4: she couldn't left the kids into the car seats and stuff. Though,
Speaker 4: oh well, the first three years, what you do the
Speaker 4: first three years? I did all drop offs and all
Speaker 4: the pickups for all the kids first three years until
Speaker 4: you recovered from ari and then from your surgery that
Speaker 4: you did them on makeup. So I did all the
Speaker 4: jobs and pickups for three years.
Speaker 1: Uh huh, I did. I'm with you, m I have
Speaker 1: to put you onto these leggings. I am totally obsessed
Speaker 1: with right now. They are from this brand called Tona,
Speaker 1: and here's a fun fact. The designer behind them also
Speaker 1: created Lulu Lemon, so yeah, you know they're legit. These
Speaker 1: leggings are next level, buttery solved, super flattering, and seriously comfortable.
Speaker 1: They give you just the right amount of support where
Speaker 1: you needed well. So I started off wearing mine for
Speaker 1: casual days out, but honestly, now I basically live in
Speaker 1: them and I'm not mad at it. And here's what
Speaker 1: makes them even better. Every pair you buy helps fund
Speaker 1: mental health counseling sessions for teens in need. Tona is
Speaker 1: on a mission to and teen suicide and self harm,
Speaker 1: which is such an important cause. I have partnered with

Speaker 2: dad's work, but also the moms worked, but also our
Speaker 2: moms cooked, clean, did laundry, chuck the kids.
Speaker 1: So when we got together.
Speaker 2: It just it kind of happened very naturally. That I mean,
Speaker 2: we both worked and then I took on cooking. I
Speaker 2: don't like to cook, but I do it, cooking, clean,
Speaker 2: doing laundry. That man could be standing in the laundry
Speaker 2: room and still not know that it's the laundry room.
Speaker 4: But that's the only thing I don't know. Cleaning and cooking,
Speaker 4: also laundry.

Speaker 2: fix it because.
Speaker 1: That's just me.
Speaker 4: Works in my benefits because now I can do It's
Speaker 4: okay with me if I can do it right.
Speaker 1: Uh huh. Do you feel like you don't like to
Speaker 1: cook because you have to? Yeah, become a chore.
Speaker 2: Hey, I do it every other day, and but we
Speaker 2: cook in both because we have dinner and then I
Speaker 2: have lunch to send for two kids and him, and.
Speaker 1: Then I don't want to cook again.

Speaker 3: feel like, yeah, I made you one time. One time.
Speaker 2: Most of the time, it's I always wake up early
Speaker 2: to go to the bathroom. It's like clockwork every single
Speaker 2: day at five time to go to the bathroom and
Speaker 2: then I can't go back to sleep, and then the
Speaker 2: kids hear.
Speaker 1: Me, Emma, emma, are you up?
Speaker 2: I am now, so they they always call me first
Speaker 2: every day between six and six thirty, they're up.
Speaker 1: None of them sleep with you, guys, correct. No.
Speaker 4: From the beginning, that was one of the rules that
Speaker 4: we were very good about.
Speaker 1: That you both agreed on or was that your rule?
Speaker 3: I mean in the beginning she didn't agree on it,
Speaker 3: but it was the right rule.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Four months, I mean they were like in a maadcinet
Speaker 2: and then it's four months at.
Speaker 1: Them and they're correct.
Speaker 4: The first three months, yeah, they were in our room,
Speaker 4: but in the best and that in the little thing.
Speaker 4: Next year I did inside the bad.
Speaker 2: But like when they were babies, if they had a
Speaker 2: really rough night, they would come into our room.
Speaker 1: We still had that there, so but they don't.
Speaker 2: We did have recently family sleepover though, got question. I
Speaker 2: had a family sleepover with the kids because they tossed and.
Speaker 1: Turned family sleepover in your own house.
Speaker 2: Okay, wait, for the first time all three of them.
Speaker 2: We put on a movie and had a movie snack
Speaker 2: and did a family sleepover and Alex five minutes later
Speaker 2: is like, I'm good is left in there? Because they
Speaker 2: just tossed and turned and I got kicked in.
Speaker 1: And they always end up the other way. Yes, but
Speaker 1: they started vertical and ended up horizontal. I don't know how.
Speaker 1: I don't know how. Oh my gosh. So when my
Speaker 1: husband and I were married, that was his rule as well,
Speaker 1: that not have the kids in bed. Obviously, same thing,
Speaker 1: you know, for six months we put them in their room,
Speaker 1: their crib and sleep train them and everything.
Speaker 2: But share the same room. Even our daughter. They we
Speaker 2: have like, yeah, we have a bed. It's like a
Speaker 2: corner bed and then it has a fundule. She wants
Speaker 2: to sleep with my boys, her boys. My boys, come on, boys,
Speaker 2: let's go to bed.
Speaker 1: She the boss. Oh my god. She was satu, what
Speaker 1: do you mean. I see the photos of your videos
Speaker 1: and you doing her hair.
Speaker 3: And I am doing her hair.
Speaker 2: But she listens to him, and if they know, she
Speaker 2: laughs at me and he says no, She's okay.
Speaker 4: I get a door growing up, first door. Hun So
Speaker 4: if you want more sleepovers, you can help them. I'll
Speaker 4: stay down here on the coach, thank you.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Because they do. They grow so fast,
Speaker 1: you know, now we do.
Speaker 2: We have three different carpools, and Shy.
Speaker 1: You can't.
Speaker 2: I can't even get out of the car, so it
Speaker 2: doesn't come running to me anymore. And like you don't
Speaker 2: realize that it's going to be the last day of
Speaker 2: him running to you or running to you or something
Speaker 2: like thank god my daughter still runs me and Astra
Speaker 2: still runs me. But Shy, like I can't, you don't
Speaker 2: realize it.
Speaker 1: I know they all change at different ages. Look at her.
Speaker 1: You know what I love about the two of you
Speaker 1: is you always express so much in your faces, like
Speaker 1: I can tell what each of you are thinking saying
Speaker 1: a word.
Speaker 3: I said, Okay, you can do this.
Speaker 4: Now that I know, they're not used to sleeping in
Speaker 4: our beds, so it's not going to become something they're
Speaker 4: gonna come every day.
Speaker 2: So once in the sleep over sleepover, we also do
Speaker 2: family workouts every day. Now, wow, God, b Alex comes
Speaker 2: home and the kids get so excited. They all take
Speaker 2: their clothes off and they're all in their underwear and
Speaker 2: we have a rook where I'm doing the squats.
Speaker 1: The three of kids and me.
Speaker 2: We hold hands and we do twenty squats and then
Speaker 2: we swap to do twenty push ups and we do
Speaker 2: twenty crunches and we all like rotate the site and
Speaker 2: they love it.
Speaker 4: Finally started. I do this every day for years already.
Speaker 4: I come home, I tag off my clothes and that's
Speaker 4: what I do. I get a little push a bar
Speaker 4: and a little thing and I do like a twenty
Speaker 4: five minute workout And the kids always just play and
Speaker 4: jump on me and bother me.
Speaker 3: But now they finally started working out.
Speaker 2: Then they love it. But they have to have their thought.
Speaker 2: They can't have clothes on, and.
Speaker 3: They know it.
Speaker 1: Does it? Does it bother you? When he puts like
Speaker 1: thirst trap pictures on social media, like on Instagram.
Speaker 3: My Instagram, and.
Speaker 2: Just like give the people what they want, that's what
Speaker 2: they want. Like, honestly, I know he's attractive. I know
Speaker 2: he's a good body. He works very hard. Right.
Speaker 1: The funny thing is, and you know I'm I'm into men,
Speaker 1: not women, But I honestly would rather like see a
Speaker 1: picture of Lauren in a bathing suit any day over
Speaker 1: you no offense. You have a great body. Thank you.
Speaker 1: I me and girls girl, and like she's my jam,
Speaker 1: Thank you so much.
Speaker 2: I think there's such a misconception about having serge classic surgery.
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, yeah, tell me about your mom you makeover.
Speaker 1: So but where I can go to get one pain it? Right?
Speaker 2: You have the momm you make over, you have surg
Speaker 2: We have to maintain it.
Speaker 1: I am coming up to two.
Speaker 2: Years already since my surgery, and I loved I would
Speaker 2: do it again. It was the best decision I made
Speaker 2: for myself, for my kids, for my family, like it
Speaker 2: was such a boost. But again, I work out also
Speaker 2: every day.
Speaker 1: I do pilates five days a week.
Speaker 2: Then I do this family workout, and I'm always on
Speaker 2: the go, like I'm never just sitting because if I do,
Speaker 2: it's like the vacuum then sees me, or this fish
Speaker 2: is staring at me and I gotta clean it.
Speaker 1: Like there's always.
Speaker 2: Something to do, you know. But I mommy makeover doctor,
Speaker 2: it was a tough wor I mean for me for
Speaker 2: the first month, I was living my best life.
Speaker 1: I would like here, but I wasn't here.
Speaker 3: So it's enough.
Speaker 1: He'll turn me through quickly, exactly what you had done
Speaker 1: for our listeners that don't know what a mommy make
Speaker 1: over is.
Speaker 2: So for my mommy makeover, I did a tummy tup.
Speaker 2: I had a Donald dice fasis and since I was
Speaker 2: under I figured I might as well. I ended up
Speaker 2: doing a three sixty lightpo It was a little bit
Speaker 2: on my chin, my arms, upper back, lower back, and thighs,
Speaker 2: and then I took that fat ended up that transfer
Speaker 2: to my booths, which didn't hold. So in that aspect,
Speaker 2: I'm back to square one.
Speaker 3: That that was all that going to do.
Speaker 1: When she I mean, Alex, you seemed pretty traditional. So
Speaker 1: when she mentioned to you that she was interested in
Speaker 1: doing this, what was your response?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, to be honest, she mentioned it way
Speaker 4: before we ever had kids. Like from the moment we
Speaker 4: started like being.
Speaker 1: Serious, much like one day we have kids.
Speaker 3: I'm having mom makeover.
Speaker 4: So like back then, years ago, I just like brushed
Speaker 4: it off and I kind of knew that she's gonna
Speaker 4: do it.
Speaker 3: At some point I tried to convince her against it.
Speaker 3: I didn't want her to do it.
Speaker 4: I wanted her to just because because before the mommy makeover,
Speaker 4: she went into like a.
Speaker 3: Whole like a wellness, wellness life changing style things. She
Speaker 3: started working out.
Speaker 4: We started, both of us because I until that also
Speaker 4: wasn't like too much into it.
Speaker 3: We started looking into food what's healthy? What's healthy? We
Speaker 3: started working out more.
Speaker 2: I lost twenty five or twenty six pounds in a year,
Speaker 2: and she was doing it.
Speaker 4: So for me, I was like, just keep doing that.
Speaker 4: You're not gonna want the like me the mom makeover
Speaker 4: or want to do nothing.
Speaker 2: But then we went I had like a drip that
Speaker 2: and also I did had they have that since my
Speaker 2: muscles just were so far separated and I wasn't comfortable,
Speaker 2: and if I was under her mind as well, and
Speaker 2: she wanted.
Speaker 4: Book healthy, that was eighty percent of the sort do
Speaker 4: still want.
Speaker 2: I still want implants, but for health reasons I've been
Speaker 2: advised not to. So for now, you know, I'm just blending.
Speaker 1: They're overrated. Let me tell you your your fashionable. The
Speaker 1: clothes just don't fit the same after implants, That's what
Speaker 1: I hear. Yeah, Like if I had to do it
Speaker 1: over again, I would never have gotten my boobs done. Billy. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But now they've been in there, I've had two surgeries
Speaker 1: and it's like I'm told if I take them out,
Speaker 1: the skin will just be like completely saggy. Like it
Speaker 1: is amazing.
Speaker 2: Though we have a phenomenal He's like a guru, really.
Speaker 1: Really Okay, well into your d MS and find out
Speaker 1: just slam. He doesn't.
Speaker 2: He doesn't explant every single day he's been mush.
Speaker 1: Do you realize that one day, just because I've been
Speaker 1: through it, that your children will see the reality shows,
Speaker 1: they will see your journey, they will see their journey
Speaker 1: when they were young, and they will see your fights.
Speaker 2: So we are just getting to that point where Shy
Speaker 2: started asking are we on TV? Because we've never spoken
Speaker 2: to them about it. They know our friends that the
Speaker 2: cameras come, they know we call all the producers of
Speaker 2: our uncles and yeah, and I had the same and
Speaker 2: we don't have tablets in our house or anything. So
Speaker 2: I haven't really I mean, I knew it's gonna happen,
Speaker 2: but I see it in mind mind. I'm thinking like ten,
Speaker 2: maybe twenty years from now, we're going to be able
Speaker 2: to say like we were the cool parents, like the
Speaker 2: cool grandparents, you know.
Speaker 1: So I haven't really thought about.
Speaker 4: I mean them yet. I think I think about it.
Speaker 4: I think, yeah, I told you I thought about it.
Speaker 4: I hope they are okay with it, That's all I
Speaker 4: can say. I mean, I just you know they're not
Speaker 4: going to say, oh, why did you do this to us.
Speaker 2: I also think that for us, they will.
Speaker 4: Even if they don't mean it, they're going to say
Speaker 4: to us, and it's gonna upset us, even if they
Speaker 4: don't really at some point we're going to have an
Speaker 4: argument about something with with with any of them and
Speaker 4: they go, oh, you did this, Like they're going to
Speaker 4: use it against us at some point.
Speaker 1: It's shack.
Speaker 2: But I will say, for us, it's really truly what
Speaker 2: you see is what you get, Like, we don't fabricate anything.
Speaker 2: We don't we're I'm told, we'll just say like we're
Speaker 2: really just Laurena Alex.
Speaker 1: Really I can tell. And maybe because I've done reality TV,
Speaker 1: Like when I watch you guys, it feels completely authentic,
Speaker 1: and I think that's why I relate it to you
Speaker 1: so much. But yeah, it's starts. Here's where it starts.
Speaker 1: And your kids aren't at this age yet, but they'll
Speaker 1: start to come home. I mean you said that, are
Speaker 1: we on TV? Because it's the parents that will recognize you,
Speaker 1: and then they will tell the kids, And I'm like,
Speaker 1: why are they telling the kids?
Speaker 4: And the kids parents in their classes watch the show
Speaker 4: with their kids and then the kids see shy or
Speaker 4: USA or whatever on TV and then they come to
Speaker 4: school the next band they ask him, oh, I saw
Speaker 4: you on TV. And so then shot comes back and
Speaker 4: I said, are you on TV? And we're like, no, no,
Speaker 4: that's that's nothing. We're able to brush it off for now,
Speaker 4: but not for long.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and and oh gosh, and my kids have
Speaker 1: seen the fights, and it's things I didn't think about
Speaker 1: because I was My husband and I were the same way,
Speaker 1: completely authentic, and if we got into a fight, the
Speaker 1: cameras rolled, and you know, I didn't believe in hiding things.
Speaker 1: And you know now they see that on social media
Speaker 1: and they see the clips and they're like horrified. But
Speaker 1: I'm talking like my like seventeen and eighteen year old,
Speaker 1: not my younger ones, but it like what.
Speaker 3: Do what do you do? What do you acpt with them?
Speaker 1: And sometimes they still get like my eight year old
Speaker 1: he was born on TV and always called him monkey.
Speaker 1: I still call him Monkey's name's Liam. He allows me to,
Speaker 1: but well he gets recognized even without me sometimes and
Speaker 1: people be like are you monkey? And I'm like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, I'm sorry, dude. When she's okay with it.
Speaker 1: It was my daughter Stella, who's seventeen now that at
Speaker 1: one point she said, why do you put us on TV?
Speaker 3: Why do you?
Speaker 1: And I said, I was telling my story. That was
Speaker 1: my journey, and it gave us. Honestly, I always loved
Speaker 1: doing reality TV because I got a chance to do
Speaker 1: things with my kids and be with my kids more
Speaker 1: than I would have if I had to go somewhere
Speaker 1: else and do another show or another type of job.
Speaker 1: So I enjoyed those years. But she's I said, it
Speaker 1: was my story to tell in my journey, and I
Speaker 1: hope you understand that. One day and everything I put
Speaker 1: out there, I felt the need to do it for me,
Speaker 1: and she goes, but it's not your would she say,
Speaker 1: but it's not your job to tell my story. Oh
Speaker 1: that's when I was like, oh, And I said, you know,
Speaker 1: it was when you were younger, and you know, I'm
Speaker 1: sorry you feel that way, And she said, so you.
Speaker 1: And she even said about this podcast when I first started,
Speaker 1: You're going to be talking about like your life and
Speaker 1: our lives that affects us at school. And I said,
Speaker 1: you know what, in the position I'm in, people talk
Speaker 1: about us no matter what, So I'd rather have them
Speaker 1: here from me.
Speaker 2: My version it's so true. It doesn't come from the source,
Speaker 2: and it's not real. And that's where the problem is
Speaker 2: with social media and everything. Everything just gets twisted and
Speaker 2: turned like apparently Alex is divorcing me and leaving me
Speaker 2: and taking the kids.
Speaker 1: I read that weekly. O hee. That's why I didn't
Speaker 1: even ask about divorce because I know it's not true.
Speaker 2: It did come from the source, then it's not true.
Speaker 2: So I respect the whole podcast thing. I do, but.
Speaker 3: Basically she's saying, there's no easy way to do with.
Speaker 1: It with the kids start, but you guys should do
Speaker 1: a podcast.
Speaker 3: Oh I cannot answer the question. See I can do questions.
Speaker 2: Then I just just the two of you talk, right,
Speaker 2: just talk. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I became even a bigger fan in this last hour
Speaker 1: just hearing you guys together, like you're telling the spectacular
Speaker 1: and you have control and you know on TV they edit.
Speaker 1: Do you ever see I know you don't see the episodes,
Speaker 1: but you've given the option to see the episodes before
Speaker 1: they air.
Speaker 3: No, no, not before they are No, we don't know
Speaker 3: what it's going. I air like.
Speaker 1: Episode and hear what we look like what it air
Speaker 1: is like in the end.
Speaker 4: In general, sometimes you know, like still after THEIRS, I
Speaker 4: still don't know exactly how they showed what because you
Speaker 4: know it's it's it's all true and it all happened, but.
Speaker 1: They make it right. That's what you don't know, and
Speaker 1: it can take out of context.
Speaker 4: Yeah, a little bit of context gets lost sometimes, which
Speaker 4: is fine.
Speaker 3: It is what it is. But you know, you never
Speaker 3: know how you're going to look in Yeah.
Speaker 1: So happily ever after every Sunday it's airing now. I
Speaker 1: have seen some fights. I've seen some like and I
Speaker 1: never even see you guys fight. You know what I
Speaker 1: like best? I like best when you had your own show.
Speaker 1: I was really sad they didn't continue with that name. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because that's that's why I wanted to see. Because you know,
Speaker 1: when you watch ninety Day Fiance Happily ever after, you
Speaker 1: know both of them, you have your favorite couples and
Speaker 1: pillow talk, but you like, you had your own show
Speaker 1: and your you're my favorite couple. And I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I want to see this go on
Speaker 1: and on and on.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to manifest Lauren and Alex the other way,
Speaker 2: oh man, the other way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that that we have.
Speaker 1: We've had some talks about a move.
Speaker 2: Just we're trying to figure out which one, and I'm
Speaker 2: trying to manifest to Lauren and Alex the other way.
Speaker 4: That means we're going to have to go to Israel
Speaker 4: right by the other's.
Speaker 1: What's the other place? Can you move to? L A
Speaker 1: I'll produce this show.
Speaker 3: Oh right.
Speaker 2: Either we go somewhere where we don't know somebody and
Speaker 2: we can like enjoy life and experience it together, or
Speaker 2: we go somewhere where it's like here but we have
Speaker 2: all the support and struggles and family and friends, go
Speaker 2: to Israel.
Speaker 1: I was nervous when you guys were going to move there.
Speaker 1: I wasn't Oh oh my god. We were just there
Speaker 1: and I didn't want to leave it. Really, I've never been.
Speaker 1: I've always wanted to go.
Speaker 3: It's amazing, it's amazing. But the problem with this is
Speaker 3: still damage.
Speaker 1: It's like I'm stopping us.
Speaker 3: It's more expensive than Miami.
Speaker 1: What is that true? Yes, Okay, Miami's expensive, Israel's expensive.
Speaker 1: So what about I think Lauren and Alexi go to Hollywood.
Speaker 3: Expensive to.
Speaker 1: No more than Miami.
Speaker 2: Yes, we could definitely do it. California doesn't know we
Speaker 2: want to go like somewhere we see you.
Speaker 1: Guys like a little bit of a simple life, Like
Speaker 1: I want to see you guys on a farm with
Speaker 1: the three kids. We can't. You just tell me the
Speaker 1: other place that you were thinking about. I can't play anyone.
Speaker 1: We've never been and we've been talk about it. There's
Speaker 1: two places.
Speaker 3: I don't know why comes up.
Speaker 2: There's a big Jewish community. We have a lot of
Speaker 2: people visited there. And also it's like affordable and family friendly.
Speaker 2: I've been doing all the chat cheepy teeing and conversations,
Speaker 2: but being an expat and how to even start. We
Speaker 2: just he wants like nature and I'm like not a
Speaker 2: nature person, but I like the beach. But I also
Speaker 2: need like cities. So that's where the problem comes. And
Speaker 2: we don't have help, but we can enjoy life. I
Speaker 2: think it's just like kind of a dream to be.
Speaker 4: It's gonna happening quiet place somewhere and some island or
Speaker 4: some small town with the little I will have some
Speaker 4: animals over there.
Speaker 1: The kind of animals.
Speaker 3: Yeahs.
Speaker 4: First of all, you need eggs and then to eat it,
Speaker 4: and then maybe some some gold, you know, some milk
Speaker 4: you make.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna make goat. I make better, but I
Speaker 1: don't make goats. Well, you're described, you're describing my life.
Speaker 1: You hear that I raised my kids having chickens, goats, pigs,
Speaker 1: go The chickens were great because I had younger ones
Speaker 1: that wouldn't eat eggs. And I was like, okay, maybe
Speaker 1: and if you have a little chicken mobile coop anywhere.
Speaker 1: And I was like, hey, maybe if we get a
Speaker 1: chicken and you can go and like see the chicken
Speaker 1: and collect the eggs. He eats eggs now.
Speaker 4: So I just want, like, like you said, simple life,
Speaker 4: quite life without too much stress, the hustle and basle.
Speaker 3: Maybe not forever, maybe for like that's.
Speaker 1: Just one season. Yeah, I have so many. This season
Speaker 1: you need to get worn and get worn on this farm.
Speaker 4: This season defeats the purpose. Why no, not a few seasons?
Speaker 4: Why needs no stress, no camera and nothing?
Speaker 3: Why?
Speaker 1: Oh then what's the point?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: Lauren and I are just doing practical.
Speaker 3: Every practical too is you go to a place like this.
Speaker 3: It's not expensive. You don't need this season. You can relax.
Speaker 1: He wanted to like go to Thailand and like literally
Speaker 1: go off the grid. And I'm like, never even been
Speaker 1: he's been, I have not. I'd like to go there
Speaker 1: as well.
Speaker 3: So God, I think it's in it the head of
Speaker 3: like every.
Speaker 1: That's gonna happen.
Speaker 2: I'm very spiritual and I'm very into like crystals and
Speaker 2: pendulum and manifesting, and We've been talking about it for
Speaker 2: so long that I think it's.
Speaker 1: Going to happen, like, oh, manifest it.
Speaker 2: I watch it even really talking about it. Just where
Speaker 2: where in the world is over Barnecks so expensive we
Speaker 2: would have been there.
Speaker 1: Well. My only advice is I always wanted to do
Speaker 1: something like that as well. Do it when the kids
Speaker 1: are young, because when I mentioned now moving anywhere else,
Speaker 1: they're still like, no, we have our friends, we can
Speaker 1: never leave La and exactly, so.
Speaker 2: To do it, like but in the next two to
Speaker 2: three years before they go into middle school, go for
Speaker 2: a few years, come back and what about a.
Speaker 1: Road trip cross country road trip. I'm trying to get
Speaker 1: you to LA. I just want to meet you in person.
Speaker 4: I have a job that I love that I work,
Speaker 4: you know, I worked nine to five job. And if
Speaker 4: I go somewhere he needs to be where I don't
Speaker 4: have to do it. We have some stuff here that
Speaker 4: that can give us some income and the place like
Speaker 4: Costa Rica might be supportable enough for us.
Speaker 3: To just go and nothing.
Speaker 1: But I'm down to come visit. Have you been to
Speaker 1: l A Yeah you have Alex you have no, he
Speaker 1: has a.
