- 0:09Speaker 2: Welcome to the bonus episode of Untraditionally Lala. We had
- 0:13Speaker 2: so many listeners right in with confusion about where all
- 0:19Speaker 2: of our names come from. I have had so many
- 0:21Speaker 2: people ask why you and I don't have the same
- 0:24Speaker 2: last name.
- 0:25Speaker 1: We do?
- 0:26Speaker 2: I know, we do.
- 0:28Speaker 1: We do. You took our father's name and made it
- 0:31Speaker 1: your last because my dad's name was not Kent Kent.
- 0:34Speaker 1: I promise you no, we're the.
- 0:36Speaker 2: Burninghams's name, hard as a motherfucker. But everyone would call
- 0:42Speaker 2: me Lauren Birmingham and I'm like that my whole entire
- 0:46Speaker 2: name is botched, right, Lauren Birmingham?
- 0:50Speaker 1: What we have to what's your last name? Burningham? Like
- 0:53Speaker 1: burning a chicken, but burning aham. And when I deal with.
- 0:56Speaker 2: Insurance or like doctor's appointments, they're like, and what's your
- 1:00Speaker 2: last name and date of birth? I'm like, Burningham, just
- 1:02Speaker 2: like you're burning chicken, but burning.
- 1:04Speaker 1: I can't tell you how many times, even with like
- 1:06Speaker 1: going to the doctors and I'm like Burningham and I'll
- 1:08Speaker 1: spell it out for him and they'll go, Okay, mister
- 1:10Speaker 1: Birmingham and I go, no, it's burning, and they go
- 1:14Speaker 1: can you spell that again? And it's like I fucking did,
- 1:17Speaker 1: So there we go. Lala Kent is just so much
- 1:20Speaker 1: easy here. No one's botching it.
- 1:22Speaker 2: And I didn't start as Laala Kent. I started as
- 1:25Speaker 2: Lauren Kent when I started acting when I was like
- 1:28Speaker 2: twelve years old, and it.
- 1:29Speaker 1: Was La you are why and well.
- 1:32Speaker 2: Because I wanted it to be different. I wanted people
- 1:34Speaker 2: to be like the who and how weird that Amber
- 1:36Speaker 2: is with a y wow, didn't even think of that.
- 1:38Speaker 2: I know HER's legit though HER's like government. Mine was
- 1:43Speaker 2: just like trying to be a little different. But then
- 1:45Speaker 2: when I moved to La, my childhood friends called me Lala,
- 1:50Speaker 2: so I would introduce myself.
- 1:54Speaker 1: First of all, I gave you that nickname. When I
- 1:56Speaker 1: was a kid. I only liked my sister to come
- 1:59Speaker 1: up and get me from the stairs. We had like
- 2:01Speaker 1: these grand stairs with an entrance, and I just sit
- 2:04Speaker 1: up at the top, I guess and go La La,
- 2:07Speaker 1: And if my mom would come, I guess I didn't
- 2:08Speaker 1: want her, so I would just yell to my sister
- 2:10Speaker 1: to come and walk me down the stairs.
- 2:12Speaker 2: Yeah, so it just stuck like I wasn't trying to
- 2:13Speaker 2: be cool. I wasn't trying to be like edgy.
- 2:16Speaker 1: It was just Lala in high school.
- 2:18Speaker 2: La La B Yeah, I was La La in high school.
- 2:21Speaker 1: I just remember, I'll never forget just walking. You were
- 2:26Speaker 1: a senior. I was a sophomore. So we went to school,
- 2:28Speaker 1: but like all the poly kids, La La yeah, La La.
- 2:32Speaker 1: And then every time that's when I was like, okay,
- 2:34Speaker 1: it's just La La yeah. But that's but that was
- 2:37Speaker 1: not by choice. No, people just didn't know who I was.
- 2:40Speaker 2: When I'm like, hi, I'm Lauren, and they're like who,
- 2:42Speaker 2: and I'm like Danny's friend. Oh, La La Yeah, Sure, Okay,
- 2:47Speaker 2: sounds good. That's my new name. It's my new name.
- 2:50Speaker 2: People want to know why Slush? How is easton T T?
- 2:56Speaker 2: I started calling you tit back in the day, and
- 2:58Speaker 2: then we started, me and Brandon call you teeter.
- 3:01Speaker 1: Teeter, and then I just think it went to T T. Honestly,
- 3:05Speaker 1: I think it went to T T for kids. It's
- 3:08Speaker 1: easier to say just like two syllables, T T.
- 3:12Speaker 2: And you guys, I think is obsessed with which she
- 3:17Speaker 2: just switched over. Now everything she'll come up to me.
- 3:23Speaker 3: My favorite is when she wakes up with her crazy hair.
- 3:25Speaker 3: Hello Gg, Hello Gg. But before that it was it
- 3:31Speaker 3: was t She's actually and I don't know.
- 3:38Speaker 2: I can't really remember when Ocean started doing this, but
- 3:41Speaker 2: maybe you guys can pinpoint, like when kids start to clock, like, oh,
- 3:47Speaker 2: go get this for me. Sosa is just shy of
- 3:53Speaker 2: a year and a half. And she had Gg's phone
- 3:57Speaker 2: and I said, go give it to Gg and she
- 3:59Speaker 2: looked around, walked it over and said he. And then
- 4:03Speaker 2: she was playing with toys and I gave her a
- 4:06Speaker 2: pack of gum, like in a closed I needed her
- 4:10Speaker 2: to just calm down, and I was like, where is
- 4:13Speaker 2: the gum? Sosa? Do you remember the gum? And I
- 4:15Speaker 2: like explained it to her and she looked around and
- 4:17Speaker 2: found it under the couch.
- 4:20Speaker 1: She is really good at that is Ocean.
- 4:22Speaker 2: Ocean's five.
- 4:23Speaker 1: Ocean has been good at it for her. She has
- 4:26Speaker 1: yes think of every time we're like where did you
- 4:28Speaker 1: put this? And she's like, I'll be right back, and
- 4:31Speaker 1: she brings it out and they'll be like where did
- 4:33Speaker 1: you put it? She goes, it was in my purse
- 4:34Speaker 1: and I'm like where, Okay, you're right, I can't.
- 4:38Speaker 2: Remember specific timelines, but I'm like, I can't remember, but
- 4:42Speaker 2: because I'm thinking that she is, I.
- 4:45Speaker 1: Think she could be doing it before Ocean. I think
- 4:49Speaker 1: she's doing it before Ocean. I think Ocean maybe started
- 4:51Speaker 1: doing that around two and a half. Three she could,
- 4:54Speaker 1: so I think it was sooner than that. You do, Yeah,
- 4:57Speaker 1: Ocean was singing Mariah Carey at a year and a half.
- 5:00Speaker 1: I don't remember her bringing me stuff or you know,
- 5:04Speaker 1: was cleaner time.
- 5:06Speaker 2: After Ocean was seven months after that. I kind of
- 5:09Speaker 2: just was like short circuiting Jesus. People want to know
- 5:13Speaker 2: how Mom got the name Gigi as her as the
- 5:18Speaker 2: grandma name.
- 5:20Speaker 1: Well, it was supposed to be Mema and Poppy. It
- 5:24Speaker 1: was me, Mom Poppy, and then Poppy Poppy said bye,
- 5:30Speaker 1: and so didn't want to be Yeah, it reminds, yeah,
- 5:36Speaker 1: which Mema is awful. Well, if you got the Poppy
- 5:39Speaker 1: with it, Mema is great. Mema alone not so great.
- 5:43Speaker 2: So then and she was like, I don't love it,
- 5:46Speaker 2: and she goes, can I be Gigi?
- 5:47Speaker 1: But with an I like with.
- 5:48Speaker 2: Eyes, g I g I And I was like, if
- 5:52Speaker 2: that's what, I don't really care. And our grandma her
- 5:56Speaker 2: mom was Mimi and I think that's why she she
- 5:59Speaker 2: wanted to die. Yeah, yeah, I think Gg's Q and
- 6:03Speaker 2: even London and Dreson our niece and.
- 6:06Speaker 1: Nephew they call her. They they switched.
- 6:10Speaker 2: They like grew up with her as Mema, and then
- 6:12Speaker 2: just overnight it was like, so she's no longer mem
- 6:17Speaker 2: they they call her, which would be a hard transition.
- 6:21Speaker 2: If Mimi suddenly was like, I don't want to be
- 6:23Speaker 2: me me anymore, I want to be something else, I'd
- 6:24Speaker 2: be like, well that kind of throws me off life.
- 6:28Speaker 1: You're still me. Sorry, I couldn't change. I'm a kid.
- 6:32Speaker 2: I'm a kid.
- 6:33Speaker 1: You're me me now?
- 6:34Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Why do you prefer la La over Lauren?
- 6:38Speaker 2: Do you care your family still calls you Lauren? I
- 6:41Speaker 2: think it's weird. If my mom calls me la La,
- 6:44Speaker 2: it's very weird. I'm like, weird. Please don't call me
- 6:48Speaker 2: la La. It feels unnatural.
- 6:50Speaker 1: I don't think we any of us. I'll call you
- 6:51Speaker 1: law now, you call me law or Lauren Lauren.
- 6:57Speaker 2: But like my niece and nephew have always called me Laala,
- 7:00Speaker 2: so it's not weird when they.
- 7:01Speaker 1: Called me, that's because that was you were la La
- 7:04Speaker 1: to them. Before you were famous on television being when when.
- 7:07Speaker 2: The Russons, if they ever called me Laala, I'd be like,
- 7:10Speaker 2: what is wrong with you?
- 7:11Speaker 1: Know? They call you Lauren? Yeah, it's no Bart calls
- 7:16Speaker 1: me Lou Lou, Yeah, hey Lou. I like that.
- 7:22Speaker 2: Yeah. There's just certain people that like the Apple and Alps,
- 7:25Speaker 2: Maddie and Danny always called me Laala, so I only, no, no,
- 7:30Speaker 2: that is my name. There's just certain people where I'm like,
- 7:33Speaker 2: you never call me that, so why are you calling
- 7:35Speaker 2: me that? It bothers me when people who I met
- 7:40Speaker 2: after the fact call me Lauren because I'm like, you
- 7:44Speaker 2: don't know that girl like Lauren from Utah has roots
- 7:49Speaker 2: and history and went through a lot of shit to
- 7:52Speaker 2: get where. You don't know that girl, like it is
- 7:55Speaker 2: la la for you because you have no idea where
- 7:58Speaker 2: I come from.
- 7:59Speaker 1: It's like your name being Melope and then like you're
- 8:01Speaker 1: going by Penny and somebody going high Penelope. Do you
- 8:04Speaker 1: know me, you bitch?
- 8:06Speaker 2: Yeah? And it's not like I get annoyed because I
- 8:09Speaker 2: don't like the name. First of all, most people say Lauren,
- 8:11Speaker 2: so it's like that's not my name, it's Lauren. So
- 8:14Speaker 2: that's annoying in itself, but I get annoyed because you
- 8:17Speaker 2: don't know me like that. Like people call me Lauren
- 8:21Speaker 2: from Utah, which is an acronym by the way, I
- 8:23Speaker 2: love you as if it's an insult, and I'm like,
- 8:29Speaker 2: it's not an insult. I didn't change my name to
- 8:31Speaker 2: Laala to like seem cool or get from Utah or
- 8:35Speaker 2: get away from it like I'm well aware one on
- 8:38Speaker 2: my shoulder, like I appreciate where I come from. I
- 8:42Speaker 2: appreciate my name, but you did not grow up with
- 8:45Speaker 2: me there, therefore you do not know me like that.
- 8:48Speaker 2: It is la La to you, sir. Yeah, what are
- 9:03Speaker 2: Ocean Sosa's nicknames? I call Ocean oh and Sosa, So
- 9:09Speaker 2: I call Sosa Sosa. I call her mini much Yeah,
- 9:15Speaker 2: that's yeah, sosas mini munch to me.
- 9:18Speaker 1: And then Ocean is Obo because when she was a
- 9:21Speaker 1: little girl, she'd always have the giant boson. So I
- 9:23Speaker 1: called her Obo so Obo for Ocean, mini munch for Sosa.
- 9:28Speaker 2: Those are so cute. Mine are so just like not cool.
- 9:31Speaker 2: Oh bo oh you guys. My mom used to get
- 9:36Speaker 2: Ocean or Sosa to say uh, Ocean or Obo.
- 9:43Speaker 1: Because she couldn't go Obo.
- 9:45Speaker 2: And put her hands around her mouth.
- 9:48Speaker 1: To like because she could say t tgg and Ocean
- 9:51Speaker 1: was like sad that Sosa couldn't say Ocean. So we
- 9:54Speaker 1: were coming up with a new thing and it was Obo.
- 9:57Speaker 1: So Lisa, trying to teach, would go.
- 9:59Speaker 2: Oh, it seem a little bit more fun to say.
- 10:02Speaker 1: And then and so now every time Sosa says Ocean's name,
- 10:06Speaker 1: she puts her hand on her nose and goes all
- 10:09Speaker 1: ball because she thinks that's the only way to do it.
- 10:12Speaker 2: Yeah, plugs her nose. Oh, it's really cute, Sosa is
- 10:20Speaker 2: I mean throughout Utah, she was so clingy to me
- 10:25Speaker 2: it was almost difficult.
- 10:26Speaker 1: Yeah, no, she doesn't. That's all the time.
- 10:29Speaker 2: What do you mean, it's all the time that she's
- 10:31Speaker 2: clingy to me.
- 10:32Speaker 1: Yes, Like when you're like, can you watch, Like, here's
- 10:34Speaker 1: the thing, always happy to watch. But when you're in
- 10:36Speaker 1: the house and I have to watch your kid, nightmare, nightmare,
- 10:39Speaker 1: and she knows where you are and she can hear,
- 10:42Speaker 1: so she'll always try to get to you. If I
- 10:44Speaker 1: pick her up, she'll m and she'll be looking up.
- 10:47Speaker 1: So because she wants you. Once you're out of the house,
- 10:50Speaker 1: she's great yeah, and she just wants Mama no.
- 10:53Speaker 2: And that's amazing, And it's just so funny that I
- 10:56Speaker 2: bring this up because the entire part, and I guess
- 10:59Speaker 2: reason in for me wanting the donor was obviously to
- 11:03Speaker 2: avoid what happened in the past happening again, me wanting
- 11:10Speaker 2: a baby that's just mine, and she is just mine,
- 11:14Speaker 2: you guys, she doesn't want anybody else. If if the
- 11:17Speaker 2: moment I walk into a room Easton, my mom have
- 11:20Speaker 2: told me when they're watching her, she is so chill.
- 11:23Speaker 2: The easiest the moment I walk into a room.
- 11:26Speaker 1: Eh, I had when we went to breakfast to lunch,
- 11:30Speaker 1: when you guys went to lunch when we were in Utah.
- 11:32Speaker 1: I took the kiddos to lunch one day just because
- 11:34Speaker 1: they were far card day. But she was sitting at
- 11:38Speaker 1: the table, not a peep. Yeah. Made. And then Lauren
- 11:42Speaker 1: and Lisa came to meet us and write when the
- 11:46Speaker 1: Ocean or Sosa saw her Eh in the seat.
- 11:51Speaker 2: I say, you know what, I relate to that because
- 11:53Speaker 2: I feel like with you and Mom, I'm actually very
- 11:56Speaker 2: high maintenance, very high strung, and when I'm with other people,
- 12:02Speaker 2: I think that I would be described as pretty chull
- 12:05Speaker 2: like girl find like a hat, easy going.
- 12:09Speaker 1: Easy going, and there find the happy media.
- 12:13Speaker 2: And that's why can I tell you? And this sounds
- 12:15Speaker 2: so rude. It's not meant to be rude. I say,
- 12:18Speaker 2: Sosa is so triggering for me in the way that
- 12:22Speaker 2: like when you're with someone who is you and you're like,
- 12:25Speaker 2: I don't know if I like this, but she's my kid,
- 12:27Speaker 2: so obviously I adore and love her, but I'm like,
- 12:29Speaker 2: oh my god, it is like dealing with myself, Like
- 12:34Speaker 2: she's very temperamental, very particular, very high stries.
- 12:39Speaker 1: When I tell you, if you if she has something
- 12:41Speaker 1: in her hand and you just slightly take it away,
- 12:44Speaker 1: she'll look at you down and then right when you
- 12:49Speaker 1: know that, when you see her lip quivering, grab her,
- 12:51Speaker 1: give her to her mother because it's over, and she will.
- 12:53Speaker 2: Just melt into me as if someone like hurt her
- 12:57Speaker 2: feelings beyond words, where she is a mess and I
- 13:01Speaker 2: have to console her for.
- 13:03Speaker 1: Like five minutes, yes minutes on x three minutes of
- 13:06Speaker 1: her crying uncontrollably because we hurt her feelings. We took
- 13:11Speaker 1: away a toy, a little puzzle or something she cannot
- 13:15Speaker 1: be playing.
- 13:16Speaker 2: Oh and she wanted to stick her finger in the
- 13:19Speaker 2: out socket, so I said, uh, you tap, and then
- 13:24Speaker 2: she kept doing it, so I I used my index
- 13:26Speaker 2: fing here just to like, yeah, oh my god, yeah,
- 13:31Speaker 2: lip quivering, lose, losing her mind.
- 13:34Speaker 1: Yeah, the lip quivers, and then you just see one
- 13:36Speaker 1: tear and then it's all over.
- 13:38Speaker 2: And then you got ocean gangster.
- 13:41Speaker 1: Why she crying? We don't know, Man, tell her, she's
- 13:46Speaker 1: always crying Ocean.
- 13:48Speaker 2: The other day goes Selsa, your mom is sick of
- 13:51Speaker 2: hearing you cry it's quiet time because she heard me
- 13:55Speaker 2: say to my mom, I'm really sick of hearing her cry.
- 13:59Speaker 2: Oh she's a lot, when I tell you. I walked
- 14:01Speaker 2: in the door yesterday when we got home from Utah.
