  Speaker 1: She was videoing every She's like, I'm in shock, And
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I was also in shock because I'm looking around this
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: club and everyone. A lot of people have sunglasses on,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, there's no sun in here, and you
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: you ain't Drake, ain't Kanye West are you sure about that.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: I'm sure they weren't Drake Ork. It wasn't Drake or Kanye.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: No, they have security. These people were like people. They
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: were like me with sunglasses on.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Okay, and it's dark in the club, So how do
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: you not tumble down the stairs?
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: That's what I was wondering. I can't even keep sunglasses
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: on during the day when I'm like backing out in
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: my driveway. Yeah, so props to them, but also take
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: your fucking sunglasses off in the nightclub if you're not
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Drake or Kanye West, Like I'm begging you, She's begging you.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: But then again, I don't know. Maybe they were famous,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: because this this is like a new world for me
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: because now it's like, oh, they're famous on talk they're YouTubers.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, hum, I don't know, Yeah, maybe they were.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: But also like, don't wear your sunglasses.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: It's just even if you are, even if you are
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: super famous, it's not it's not. It doesn't make life
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: easier at the club. And I know it from the footage.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: I saw that it's dark in that room. It's not
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: like it's like I'm just gonna throw these sunglasses on
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: and my my night's gonna be easier.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: No, you have to watch where you're going. You're gonna
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: run into people.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: It's just a whole different world. I mean I was
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: looking around and there was like a group of these guys,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: and I mean everyone's in their twenties, right, like early twenties.

  Speaker 1: drinking and in my early twenties, like the club was
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: just not my scene. Do you dance yeah, like yeah,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: but I I have a very specific type of music
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: that I want to hear. Okay, I don't want like
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: do you know like EDM. I'm like my body doesn't.

• 11:47
  Speaker 3: need to go out, you.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Don't need to go to the bars. Slide in the DM.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Is Instagram like a dating app kind of. I mean
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: it's seen. I mean you're asking the wrong person, that's right.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: You've had a boyfriend for a long time.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think it can be anything can
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: be a dating app if you try hard enough.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: I mean it feels like that's where people like. Sliding
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: in the DM is like the new swipe, right.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because you know what it's.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: I feel like it's more because you can find out
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: a lot a lot about a person that way.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: I go to your page, I'm.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: Gonna see videos, I'm gonna see your demeanor, cute photos,
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: see what you're into, so that gives you more Listen.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: I've never been on the dating apps, but I've heard
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: it's like limited information. Yeah, so you only have a
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: few photos, you only have that quick bio.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: That's what terrifies me, though, jess this is my what
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: terrifies me the most. Yes, like I slid in the
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: DM a while back. If I continue to slide in
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: the DM, first of all, I don't like it makes
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: me feel weird. I just feel like I'm giving a
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: piece of myself to someone where I'm like, I don't
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: even know if you deserve it.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: That's true, you know, point Yeah?
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, But do you think that when I start talking
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: to boys that they google me?
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: One hundred thousand percent?
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: That is terrifying and I would like them to not
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: do that. What.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: No, I don't. Why do you think that I just don't.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Want them googling me? Yeah, I just don't. It's like,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: just right, keep my name out right because you.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Can't control what pops up.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: First.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: No, I think it's cool that you're googleable because when
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: you google me, it's like someone from Idaho who is
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: like a newscaster, or like Jessica Walter who was on
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: arrested development and passed away.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: God rest her soul.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: I would rather have that, really, yes, because then it's
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: like I have no control over what people can google, right. Yeah.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: If the only place you can find me is my
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: own Instagram, that I can control, I dig that. I
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: don't want you watching the show. I don't want you
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: googling shit. I don't want you hashtagging my name and
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: your little freaking search bar.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah nerve No, Okay, let me ask you this. Do
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: you google someone if you were interested? Would you google
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: this person?
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: No?
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: I usually just no, I just go to the gram.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you find it that way.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Yes? Why would I go to Google and I can
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: go to the gram.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Because you might find information that they haven't told you.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: I google everyone.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: I google everyone. I google Kyle, I google you.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: I'm googling every.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Day, Lisa.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: I think I should start googling, but I get it.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: I get it.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: Listen, if you slide in Lalla's DMS and you shoot
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: your shot and you guys get a conversation.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Going, don't google her.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Don't google me, just go off go and watch Vanner
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Pump Rules either. Oh well, okay, because I feel like
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: the type of guy that I'm into like does not
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: watch Vanner Pump Rules, and I would like it to
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: stay that way. Yeah, okay, with all that all being said,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: now you're making me sweat purposely talking about dms and men.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: Okay, So then we'll go to the voicemails, because if
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: you want to refresh the listeners. You asked a question.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: You asked for some Ocean advice last episode.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: I think yes, So Ocean has very little hair, but
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: a lot of teeth, six of them, okay, And I
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: still breastfeed and that's a comfort to her. So sometimes
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: she'll bite the nips, but she looks at me and
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: smiles and she knows it's a little bit of a game.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: But mostly it's like when I'm holding her, she's biting
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: my shoulder, or like when I try to do her nail,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: she's biting my arm, and it's like, no joke, all right,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Those little razor blade teeth really can fuck you up.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: So I asked you guys to give me advice on
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: how to get her to stop biting. Let's roll the
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: first voicemail.
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: Hi, Laala, my name is Michelle. I have been a
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: huge fan of yours since the beginning, but especially now
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: I saw on your Instagram story were asking about ocean
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: and how to prevent babies from biting when it hurts,
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: and you can't really tell them that. So I wanted
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: to tell you an experience that I had when I
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: was a baby. I was apparently a terrible biter, and
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: my mom was very, very frustrated, and one day she
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: just took my arm and she hit me back, and
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: I never better again, and I'm totally fine. I'm twenty
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: seven and I've made it my whole life. I don't
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: have any bite marks, who was an unt of youth
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: or anything like that, but it showed me that it hurts,
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: so I stopped biting her after that. I hope that
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: back could potentially help you. I'm thinking of you, and
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: I love the podcast. Talk to you soon, say.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Michelle. Oh my gosh. Okay. First of all, just the
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: way that you told that story was awesome. Okay, so
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: this is what I've heard too, because my little brother
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: used to be a bier and my mom and my
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: grandpa bit him back stop yes, yes, on the arm
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: or something wherever I guess, I don't know the arm.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Wherever they bite you, I guess is where you bite
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: them back. Oh my god, but it freaks me out,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Like if if Ocean bites me, I don't think I
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: could bring myself to bite her bite her back.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: My god, No I would if I saw that, if
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: I walked in and saw you buy Ocean, I'd be like,
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: what is going on?
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Because I've attempted, because I knew that the Easton was
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: a bitter I've attempted to like bite her. It's obviously
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: not hard because I don't think I could bring myself
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: to do that. But now, like hearing a voicemail like this,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: I'm like, maybe I we'll just bite the shit out
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: of her. I'm just kidding.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: But she laughs.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: When I did it, she was like laughing about it.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: Because you probably this is probably this is like, you know,
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: she's twenty seven, Michelle's twenty seven.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: This is back in the day. It was probably a
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: nice bite.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you probably do was strong, yeah or something, and
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: mars were left, keith marks were left, and you probably
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: did a fun little like.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, well that's exactly what I did. Yeah. I literally
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: softly bit her and said that, you know, bite the
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: mom oh, and she laughed.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: Yes, she probably wanted it probably made her want to
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: do it.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: It's me dead in my eyeballs and laughed.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: That's really funny.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: There was one person that told me when they do that,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: you flick up, and I was like, nope.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: You flick on kill.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not flicking my baby. Oh my, I can't.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: No, no, I know when when it well, you can't
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: put hot sauce.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: You could put hot sauce all.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: Over your body because when babies bite their nails. When
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: I used to bite my nails is like a bad habit.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: My mom put hot sauce on the top of my fingers.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: I was like six, and so I'd go to bite
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: and then burn it burned my mouth, but then I
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: just rinse my hands off.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: So that doesn't make any sense. It doesn't make any sense. Okay, Well,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: let's see what other voicemails people have left and see
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: if they have the Yeah, the biting.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: That was funny though, Michelle.
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: Okay, Hi, my name is Nina. I'm a mom of
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: a three year old and newly pregnant again. But girl,
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: I've been there with the teeth biting. Oh my god. Okay,
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: So something that was really helpful for us. There's a
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: book called Teeth or Not for biting by Elizabeth Verdick.
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: It's really cute.
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: You can get it on Amazon. But we would read
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: that book every single day. We also have a Feelings
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: Corner in our room, something by Generation Mindful. Check it out.
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: You create a nice safe space to talk about feelings
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: and things. You can hear my little one in the background. Anyway,
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: we would go there and we would talk about it,
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: and it was super helpful. If you're not for biting,
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: good luck.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to get that book because I can't
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: say that I'm fully sold on the biting of my baby. Yeah,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: I just can't gnaw on her like she's a fucking
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: chicken wing. It doesn't feel right, you.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Know, especially if she laughs. It doesn't work.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: It doesn't work. And I'm not willing to bite her
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: any harder at the age of ten months. Okay, Yeah,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: but I like the feeling corner where like you go
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: and you can express your feelings and all of that stuff.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: I have a feeling that Ocean's gonna be a feeler
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: because she is a water baby to her core, okay,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: and she's you know her, she's very chill. She's an
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: angel baby. Like literally, we go out put her in
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: a high chair. You don't even know she's there. Yeah.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: But when she's done, she's done. She's done. Yeah, Like
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: there's no build up. It's like chill too, I'm over it,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: put me to bed. Has no time for you trying
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: to like do what you're doing, you know. And she's
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: on a very tight schedule. So I know that when
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: she's older, she's gonna be stuck in how she's feeling.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: And I have friends that are pisces and they're waterworks.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: I thought I was sensitive. I deal with my best
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: friend Madison, who's a Pisces. The two of us together
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: sobbing messes all the time, all the fields.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: Really, Oh, I didn't know Madison was a Pisce's that's
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: beautiful that your Madison is for anyone who's been living
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: under a ruck. Lala's a best friend in the whole
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: wide world. And they're like sisters.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: And the fact that you have a daughter.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: They're one day apart their birthdays. Oh, I know, God,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Were you a feelings kid, I can't I was.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know that. I was like in my feelings
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: like that, like a big crier, but I was hyper.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: I don't remember crying a lot I remember being hyper
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: sensitive to other people's emotions around me though. Yeah. Yeah,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: like I was a super independent case, which Ocean is
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: is going to be the same way. I can see it. Yeah.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: I can't even feed her anymore. She has to feed herself,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: which crazy, So all the baby spoons I just bought
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: her are a waste, like because she can't control her
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: hand yet to feed herself. Yeah, but yeah, she has
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: no interest in you doing anything. Yeah.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: I like the feelings corner idea. I think that's really
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: sweet and cute. And when I used to babysit and nanny,
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: we had a feeling step for one of the so
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: it was like three steps up the stairs. Yeah, and
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: we'd sit there, yeah, and I'd say, why did you
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: just make that decision? And we talk about right, what
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: was making you feel like you had to hit your sister, right,
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: that kind of stuff.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: So I think that's cute. My mom told me that
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: it's super important when you have kids and you do
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: time out, that you never make them do time out
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: in their bedroom because their bedroom is supposed to bring
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: them a lot of peace and it shouldn't be for punishment,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Like you don't want them to associate their bedroom with punishment. Yes,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: so to have like the thirds or sitting in the corner.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I heard that, and that makes sense because when
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: I used to go to time out, I loved it.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: I'll spend all day in here in my bedroom. I'll
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: draw color.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Too many activities? You have any activities to be sitting
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: in time out?
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's a great tip though.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought it was good. I thought it was
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: a good one. So anytime that ocean acts a damn fool,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: gonna place her somewhere that is not that fun. Yeah, yeah,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: what's the next voicemail?
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: Next voicemail?
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: Hi long. My name is Sarah and I'm a mom
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: of two boys to a six year old and an
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: eleven year old. To answer your question about the biting,
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: I simply just put my finger in my son's mouth
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: to help stop biting. Lately, my eleven month old wants
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: to bite my shoulder. He'll go for the boo when
• 23:50
  Speaker 6: he wants to breastfeed. So I just simply put my
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: finger in his mouth and say ouch, and then he
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: kind of looks at me.
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: And he's like, oh, okay, I letter not bite.
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: I hope that help thinks. Bye?
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, Sarah, that I can get down with. I can
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: get down with the ouch. And here's the thing. I
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: am not bite shaming anybody. You you want to teach
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: your kid not to bite, you lay a bite on
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: him like you do, you boo, like whatever. We all
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: got our own thing. We're all just doing what we
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: can do to have nice kids around, right, Yes, But
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: the ouch thing, it's all about the word and the tone. Yeah, okay.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna shove my finger into Ocean's mouth and
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: when she bites it, shove it it, not shove it, yes,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: place it delicately in her mouth. And when she bites me,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say ouch.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: And scare the living shit out of.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Her the way I talked to Oh, oh, do you
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: hear to mama? That's why she just still bite.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: I was gonna say that seems like she would laugh
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: and then keep doing it. Yes, But I love her
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: so much, I know, and it's almost like, Oh, she's
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: everything that I said.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: If my baby does this, this is what I'm gonna do.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: My baby is kind of doing. And it's like, it's
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: so cute when she bites me. It's so cute when
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: she screams bloody murder in her crib. You know, it's
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: all so cute. And I can now see when when
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: you go out to dinner and people's kids are running
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: around and you're like, can you shut them up and
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: make it stop, and they're looking at him laughing. It's
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: because there's nothing your kid does that is like not cute. Yeah,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: you literally think it's all like totally tolerable. Yeah, Oh god,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: am I saying this, And I'm gonna have the kid
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: that's running around Ggi Friday is screaming at everybody throwing shit.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: No, because I think she'll be the kind of kid
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: like you were just saying, in her feelings, that's like
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: coloring at the table and letting mommy and gg have
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: a nice night.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Have a nice sparkling water. Sparkling water take the edge
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: off of the day.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: That it's cute.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: I like that idea, though, saying ouch, but maybe like
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: a sad like ouch.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: She might still laugh though, well, she does laugh when
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: I pretend cry, so maybe it isn't much of a feeler.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: If she's laughing at me while I'm crying, I'm gonna
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: say she's the stone cold.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: She's like the Grinch. When the Grinch was a baby, like.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: No, she is the Grinch, doesn't She kind of look
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: like the baby Grinch. The baby Grinch is adorable, by
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: the way. Baby Grinch is so so cute. But he
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: has those big brown eyes and just the little swoop
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: of hair, a little swoop, and Ocean has that she does.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: She has banks. I'm in fear that she's gonna have
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: a mullet, But what am I gonna do but extensions?
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: Then she don't really have a mullet. That's why you
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: just stick with the bows.
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and they look cute and she loves them,
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: so yeah.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: But a lot of people on my Instagram, not a lot,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: very few actually, but I still notice them are like,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: you're a baby has bows on all the time, You
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: need to take them off. This is Instagram. This is
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: for a photograph, right, Shut the fuck up. You're not
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: living at my house, because if you did, you would
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: see my baby and pajamas and onesies and no bow
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: on covered in food constantly because she literally hulks her
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: bib off, hulks her bibof. I've never seen strength like Oceans.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: No, she and it. One second the bibs on, you
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: turn your you turn your head, it's off.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: But it's a ripping it off, like the same with
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: her bows. She gets tired. That thing is being incredible
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: hulked off of her Yeah okay, yeah, and the things
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: that she's able to move. I'm impressed by her strength.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: She could very well be an MM fighter.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's her future. Is that a wrestler an MMA fighter?
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: I don't know the difference between like the MMA kick
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: like all the I think Connor McGregor is the same
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: as like Dionne Wilder or Deontay Wilder.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: I think they are.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: Are they Okay? Well, then there you go. There you go,
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: like Hull Cogan is in that.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: No, hu is a wrestler. See, it is different.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: It's different.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: An MMA fighter. They have boxing gloves. A wrestler, I
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: think doesn't have gloves.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: Is this true?
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: That's how you tell the difference the gloves. Do you
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: wear gloves? We fight? One's a boxer, one's a wrestler.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: But there's something.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: There's boxer wrestlers, and now I know there is you're right,
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: boxer wrestler, and they're all different.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: They're all different.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: They're all different. Yeah, okay, so how did we get
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: on wrestlers? What was it?
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, the ocean might be one full circle.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Now we got onto it. Do we have time for
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: one more? Yes?
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: This is the great?
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: Okay, Hey, well, my name is Hillary and I a
• 29:04
  Speaker 7: license mental health canclor and fellow beastfeeding mom and I
• 29:08
  Speaker 7: saw your question about how to not get baby Ocean
• 29:11
  Speaker 7: to bite when she's nursing, and at that age all
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: behavior is based on association. So the best thing you
• 29:20
  Speaker 7: can do is take that booby away every time she
• 29:24
  Speaker 7: bites you, and she'll stop real quick. Good luck and
• 29:28
  Speaker 7: hopefully those teeth stop biting anything that they're not supposed
• 29:33
  Speaker 7: to have a good.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: One, Hillary, I love the thought of taking something away
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: from Ocean that she but it's so comforting. And can
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: I tell you this is what she does. She'll be
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: on the boob and suki sucky, loving it, living for it.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Once she's done, like she's full, then the nipple becomes
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: a chew toy and it's like Max, you have Oh
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: I do that's fun? Like that's what it turns into.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: I turn into the grinch and Max not letting go.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, otion is Max?
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Oh my nipple is.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: So you're saying if so, you're saying if you were
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: to take this advice and take the boob away, she'd
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: be like.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: I'm fine, I'm full, let's take it away. Like at
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: this point it's just a chew toy.
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: So it's probably the delicate balance between knowing when she's
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: full and right before she starts biting that you have
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: to like be like, okay, we're done and popping out.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Yes, And when I say how that hurts, she still
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: has it lightly in between her teeth and goes hm
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: and looks at me with a giant smile and laughing,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: And it's so cute. It's so cute babies are. Even
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: though my nipples are on the verge of bleeding after
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: she does it, I'm like, you are so cute. I
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: cannot deal.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I can do it one day.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: Breastfeed No, I think I can breastfeed, But like having
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: a teeth around my nipple, it kind of just.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: You have no no idea until they start unless they
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: bite it. Like I have no idea that Ocean has
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: teeth unless she does that right right? Yeah, yeah, so
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: where's that? No, breastfeeding is awesome. I still do skin
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: to skin with Ocean in the bath. You do, yes,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: and she's ten months old.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: What is that for someone who doesn't know me? Is
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: it just holding her in the bath when you're both naked.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Skin to skin is like one of the most
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: important things to do after you give birth. Like they
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: literally take the baby out of the womb and directly
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: place them on your chest and it creates such a
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: bond between you and your baby. And I could not
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: get enough of it when, oh my gosh, when she
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: was a newborn, it was constant, like I never stopped.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Now it's harder to do because she's ten months old,
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: and I just feel like I can't sit downstairs naked
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: living room with my ten month old who has no
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: desire to sit still when she's awake. But we do
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: it at nighttime for bath time, and for some reason,
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: well not for some reason. I know what it's like
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: to be in the bath and it feels awesome and
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: you do get sleepy. Yeah, and she like we have
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: our skin to skin where she lays directly on me
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: and I like put the warm water on her back
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: and she just lays there.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: Oh that's really sweet.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm rocking that until the wheels fall off. Yeah,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: I'm rocking the breastfeeding. I'm rocking the skin to skin,
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: like I don't want to let it go because I
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: don't know when I'm gonna have another baby. Yeah yeah,
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so so then it sounds like all of this
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: is really great advice.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: I just love hearing people's advice, but also from like
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: their own personal experiences, you know. Yeah, like we're moms
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: out here doing the damn thing, and I'm proud of us,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: proud of you. It's not easy, and I'm super proud
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: to know and have this person on my podcast. Today,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: I have Jessica Curry and her daughter Parker. And for
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: those of you who are not familiar with the Parker family,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: I was lucky enough to meet them at a park
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: one day. We connected on Instagram and I remember Parker
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: being photographed in a museum. She was, I want to say,
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: around two or three. I'll find out exactly, but she's
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: staring up at a portrait of Michelle Obama and it
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: was captured. Her mouth is open, like she cannot believe
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: what she's looking at, and it went viral. And I've
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: seen Parker do many interviews, many cooler things than the
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Give Them La La podcasts. I'll say that, and she
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: is the cutest little girl in the entire world, and
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: I'm so excited to talk to her. I'm excited to
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: talk to her mama. And the interview is absolutely incredible.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: But we did it on a day where I did
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: not have Jessica present, and I forgot to double click
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: the record button. But thank god for Zoom because we
• 33:57

• 34:09
  Speaker 1: and you have to make sure to check out my
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Instagram page because the videos are even more amazing. We
• 34:16

  Speaker 9: Yeah, we didn't know that when we were at the
• 35:01
  Speaker 9: park that day. That's the beauty of this story because
• 35:06
  Speaker 9: she is a normal person, wasn't a disguise, she was
• 35:11
  Speaker 9: just a mama at the park with her baby.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: I think I might have had makeup on that day, Parker,
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: Laala looks different without her face on.
• 35:18
  Speaker 9: No, you didn't make up on that day.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: Oh I didn't know, Okay, So I was. I was
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: a vibe that day too.
• 35:26
  Speaker 9: I guess I.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: Shot because I think that would be a little too
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: generous of me to say I've been in some movies.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't call me a star though you're a star,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: though you have written books? Is that crazy to see, Parker.
• 35:42
  Speaker 8: I've been a zoo with thousands of kids who all
• 35:46
  Speaker 8: had my book.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: That was your face. I love this child, Jessica, you
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: have no idea. Okay. So I met this cute family
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: at the park. Jessica and I then exchange d MS,
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: and I immediately already knew who Jessica and Parker Curry
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: were because they went viral when a photograph was taken
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: of Parker looking up at a portrait of beautiful Michelle
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Obama and and the photograph everybody fell in love, everybody
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: became obsessed. It was everywhere. Tell me about the moment
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: that that happened.
• 36:28
  Speaker 9: You can tell me.
• 36:30
  Speaker 8: I just slipped up at that portren it just to
• 36:34
  Speaker 8: write a book. That's the shorter version of my version.
• 36:39
  Speaker 8: But her version's gonna take like thirty minutes.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: I love all the versions.
• 36:47
  Speaker 8: Is gonna take like half of our time. So he
• 36:50
  Speaker 8: mean that one for another time.
• 36:55
  Speaker 9: Well, yeah, Tucker gains the short version. But you know,
• 36:59
  Speaker 9: we went. I took her and her sister. I'm not
• 37:02
  Speaker 9: gonna go through the.
• 37:03
  Speaker 8: Whole thing, but but you're gonna.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: Go, like.
• 37:07
  Speaker 9: I'm gonna get I'll give about the medium version. Can
• 37:11
  Speaker 9: I give the medium version, short median version? Okay? Okay.
• 37:17
  Speaker 9: So we took them to the National Portrait Gallery because
• 37:20
  Speaker 9: I wanted them to see the portrait of Michelle Obama
• 37:25
  Speaker 9: that had just been unveiled. And going to museums for
• 37:28
  Speaker 9: us was like not unusual, Like at the time we
• 37:32
  Speaker 9: lived in d C. Where you know, the Smithsonian museums
• 37:36
  Speaker 9: are free, which is unusual. So we went and Parker
• 37:41
  Speaker 9: almost zipped right by the portrait the first time, and
• 37:44
  Speaker 9: then she came back and obviously, you know how it
• 37:47
  Speaker 9: is as a mom You're like, you know, I got
• 37:48
  Speaker 9: I want to get my picture, I want to take
• 37:50
  Speaker 9: this picture, you know. But she wouldn't turn around for me.
• 37:52
  Speaker 9: She was literally stuck in that moment, and she was
• 37:55
  Speaker 9: focused on the portrait and spell bout I love that.
• 38:05
  Speaker 9: And so I got a picture of her facing the portrait,
• 38:08
  Speaker 9: and I didn't know that someone else had taken a
• 38:10
  Speaker 9: picture of her, and that picture clearly showed that her
• 38:15
  Speaker 9: mouth was wide open. She was having a moment, having
• 38:19
  Speaker 9: a little moment. And that picture, as you said, subsequently
• 38:23
  Speaker 9: went viral and I think really inspired a lot of
• 38:26
  Speaker 9: people and inspired a lot of little kids. And we've
• 38:32
  Speaker 9: been fortunate that we've had the opportunity to write Parker
• 38:35
  Speaker 9: Looks Up, which is about that moment, and and Parker
• 38:40
  Speaker 9: Shines On.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: Of course, we can't forget that one.

• 42:41
  Speaker 9: you have an old soul, which means like you're a
• 42:44
  Speaker 9: little bit before your time. Truly, I think so, because

  Speaker 9: if you think about it, when she went viral and
• 42:50
  Speaker 9: she was two years old, you know, we met Michelle Obama.
• 42:54

  Speaker 8: Where would you go to have brunch with the first lady?
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: Well, I have no idea, because if I met Michelle Obama,
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: I would probably forget how to speak what did you
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: say to her?
• 43:23
  Speaker 8: Okay, so do you want to hire me? You had
• 43:26
  Speaker 8: a dance party? So we had a dance parting.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: And you just had the best time. I mean, was
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: she nice?
• 43:36
  Speaker 5: And then yeah?
• 43:36
  Speaker 8: And she gave me a personal tour of her office
• 43:40
  Speaker 8: to our family.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: Wow. And did did you give her your book?
• 43:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: Your first one, Parker looks Up.
• 43:48
  Speaker 8: And it was signed.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: You have a signed book by the first Lady.

  Speaker 8: No, we signed it for her.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, you signed it for her and gave it to her,
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: lucky first lady. Right, So talk to me about being
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: a New York Times bestseller because Parker. I don't know
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: if you know this, but I wrote a book and
• 44:06

• 44:10
  Speaker 1: I don't have it with me right now.
• 44:14
  Speaker 9: Books, Well, don't shame or we do not have a
• 44:17
  Speaker 9: copy of Parker looks Up in Here. We should be ashamed.
• 44:20
  Speaker 9: We don't have a copy of Parker looks Up. We
• 44:23
  Speaker 9: have Parker Shines Off, Parker looks Up in Here. We
• 44:26
  Speaker 9: need to ask people, Okay, we need to ask the
• 44:31
  Speaker 9: New York Times bestseller people why La LA's book was
• 44:36
  Speaker 9: not a New York Times bestseller. That doesn't make sense, Yeah, Parker,
• 44:39
  Speaker 9: can you call them?
• 44:41
  Speaker 8: Yeah?
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: I can only hope that when Ocean, you know, gets older,
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: that she can. I mean, I'm watching you, Parker, and
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: I cannot believe that you're only six years old and
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: you've written books, one which is a New York Times bestseller.
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: When do you think that we can expect your your
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: next book?

  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: And then kind of I'm playing with you. Oh, I'm
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: proud of playing with you too. And what do you
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: tell kids your age if they have have dreams to
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: write a book? What would you tell them? Would you
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: tell them it's easy? Would you tell them to go
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: for it? What would you say to them?
• 45:42
  Speaker 9: What would be your best advice for other kids?
• 45:45
  Speaker 8: Keep dreaming, keep playing, and keep working hard during that
• 45:50
  Speaker 8: been playing.

  Speaker 9: Yeah, kids in.
• 45:56
  Speaker 8: A book you can write a book about play. That's
• 46:00
  Speaker 8: the idea.

  Speaker 1: That's the idea. And I think that's great advice because.
• 46:04
  Speaker 8: You'll get the i of writing a book about while
• 46:06
  Speaker 8: you're playing.
• 46:07
  Speaker 9: That's that's very good advice, actually sound advice.
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: That's great advice. And I love that she's six years
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: old telling us that the most important thing is playing,
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: because it can't be all work at the age of six,
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: right right, you gotta have you gotta have a lot
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: of bit of play.
• 46:23
  Speaker 6: I love.

• 47:01
  Speaker 9: and they'll direct you to everywhere that you can buy
• 47:03
  Speaker 9: a book.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I'm so proud of you, Parker. You
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: are a bright light. I want you to keep writing books.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: I want you to keep playing. I want you to
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: keep making a difference. Are you the oldest of all
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: the kids? Oh, it's a big weight on your shoulders,
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: So you got to teach them the ways? Huh yeah,
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: patch yourself on the back.
• 47:24
  Speaker 9: The example, right, Yes, I.
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: Love it. And before I let you guys go, Jessica,
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: what would you tell parents who have an ambitious child.
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: You're trying to make her dreams come true. You're still
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: a mom to two other kids, you're still a wife.
• 47:39
  Speaker 9: How do you do this? I don't know. That's the
• 47:41
  Speaker 9: first honest and true thing that comes to my mind,
• 47:45
  Speaker 9: because it was already a lot, certainly juggling being a
• 47:49
  Speaker 9: mom of multiples. I had two before you know, Parker
• 47:53
  Speaker 9: went viral. When she went viral, was just two of them.
• 47:55
  Speaker 9: It was already a lot at that point. So I
• 48:00
  Speaker 9: honestly just don't put too much pressure on myself. I
• 48:03
  Speaker 9: try to take a lot of care of myself, whether
• 48:06
  Speaker 9: that means just making sure I take like a bath
• 48:08
  Speaker 9: every day, or or you know, find some time for
• 48:12
  Speaker 9: a me day. But just like everyone and anyone else
• 48:17
  Speaker 9: who's a mom, trying to balance and there's a lot
• 48:20
  Speaker 9: of charts, there's a lot of calendars, but also, you know,
• 48:25
  Speaker 9: Parker and our experience going virals what inspired me to
• 48:30
  Speaker 9: write the books. I already had like a little small
• 48:33
  Speaker 9: mom blog that I was writing because a lot of
• 48:36
  Speaker 9: my family and my friends were like inspired by the
• 48:41
  Speaker 9: things that we were doing during the week and on
• 48:43
  Speaker 9: the weekends. And so while I didn't consider myself a writer,
• 48:47
  Speaker 9: when I had the opportunity to write the book, it
• 48:50
  Speaker 9: was important to me that they were all included. I mean,
• 48:53
  Speaker 9: you know, Parker looks up, includes Parker and Eva because
• 48:56
  Speaker 9: it's the story of that day that we were at
• 48:57
  Speaker 9: the museum, and Ego was there too, even though she
• 49:01
  Speaker 9: was in the picture, she was little, so she was
• 49:02
  Speaker 9: in our stroller, but she was there too. She got
• 49:05
  Speaker 9: to see the portrait, and Parker shines on as you know,
• 49:08
  Speaker 9: on the cover. All three of them are there. So
• 49:11
  Speaker 9: we took a moment, an extraordinary moment, and have turned
• 49:15
  Speaker 9: it into something really special for our family. And obviously
• 49:19
  Speaker 9: family is really important to me. So the fact that
• 49:21
  Speaker 9: we're all involved now in this brand that we're building
• 49:24
  Speaker 9: to empower kids is probably why it's so easy to
• 49:28
  Speaker 9: keep going.
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: That really is, And I love that you said that
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: you don't know how you're doing it.
• 49:33
  Speaker 9: That's so honest.
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: I feel that, I know my listeners will feel that
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: as well. And not putting pressure on yourself. You just
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: you do what you can. But you should be extremely proud,
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: and so should you, Parker and I'm gonna I'm gonna
• 49:46
