Summary
Lala Kent and her brother Easton discuss family dynamics, their recent decision to quit vaping, and parenting challenges. The episode covers their unconventional family communication style, Easton's sobriety journey, a road rage incident in Palm Springs, and Lala's observations about parenting her two children with different needs.
Insights
- Family comfort with inappropriate humor doesn't equate to oversharing intimate details—boundaries exist between joking and actual privacy
- Quitting nicotine addiction triggers behavioral changes and irritability that require alternative coping mechanisms like breathing exercises and oral substitutes
- Parenting multiple children at different developmental stages requires significantly different attention levels and creates guilt around unequal distribution
- Early childhood protective instincts develop naturally and can be observed in toddlers responding to perceived threats to caregivers
- Sobriety approaches vary individually; counting days works for some while others benefit from viewing recovery as a permanent lifestyle without milestone tracking
Trends
Vaping as a coping mechanism for stress and social situations, particularly among younger demographics and in high-pressure entertainment environmentsParental anxiety around head injuries and the importance of knowing medical warning signs for concussions and internal injuriesPublic figures navigating family conflict under media scrutiny and the toll of external judgment on private family dynamicsAlternative nicotine cessation strategies using sensory substitutes (gum, candy, breathing exercises) rather than cold turkey approachesGenerational differences in family communication norms and comfort with discussing sensitive topics across age groups

I am so excited to have TeeTee back. Welcome Tee. I'm back. You're back, Adam. And we need to squash some shit. What is being said now? I don't read anything. Well, I think people are confused by the comfortability that this family has. And I find it very important to let the listeners know, are we a weird family? Yes. The dynamic is close. We are tight-knit. We joke very inappropriately, sometimes about sex, sometimes about drug use, sometimes about sex and drug use at the same time. Just uncomfortable topics that maybe some people wouldn't joke about, especially in front of their families. But it is very important that you guys know, when I come home after doing whatever with the opposite sex, I never, in a million years, would share those moments with my fucking brother. Okay? Is that what people think? People, yes. People are like, why are they so comfortable talking about this stuff in front of each other? And I'm like, because it's mostly just made up in my head, but actual intimacy that I had with someone, I would not. With my mom, yes. I share everything with my mom. She birthed me. She pushed me out of her body. So, of course, I feel comfortable. Do you have to share things with your mom? No. Is it weird? I don't. I don't share anything with you, normal. I don't know when Easton's talking to a girl, let alone doing whatever it is he may or may not be doing. These vultures, these two vultures at home, you think I would talk to tell anything to you two about women? Guys, I lie about going places when I'm going to hang out with a girl because it's easier to tell them I'm going shopping with a buddy or to a movie with a group of friends than to go, I'm talking to a girl and then go, what's her Instagram? What does she do? Where's she from? Yeah, no. So, no, I don't tell anything about anyone I'm talking to to these vultures at home. But I make inappropriate jokes, whether it's with my family, on TV, to a group of strangers. I make inappropriate jokes all the time, no matter who is around, because I'm sorry, my dad. Yeah, my dad was really made the most inappropriate jokes at the most inappropriate times. And guess what? It was the best and most funny moments that have ever been embedded in those are all the things like when you came down the stairs after he died and everyone was crying, you were like, why is everyone so sad? It's like someone died. Yeah. So this just to put it that way, this is every my dad has just passed. People are in the house and like it was a grandiose entrance where you got to look over and see down the stairs from their bedroom. Yes. And I walked down the stairs and everybody looks up at me because nobody wants to go in there. Nobody wants to go in and see them except the people, the corner and all that. So I go down the stairs and I go, guys, he's in there still sleeping. And not one person laughed. And I thought, oh no, misfire. And like, I'm just what do you always say? Win loser, maybe win, lose or draw. Yeah, got to be said. Win, lose or draw. And guess what? I don't know if that was a draw or a lose, but you didn't take the W long story longer. We're very inappropriate. But when it comes to real life, I'm not sharing a lot. I feel more comfortable sharing it on like Vanderpump rules or I guess now the Valley in front of a bunch of people that just may be watching. I we're weird. We're weird. We're weird. We're weird. I don't care. I don't care. Law is talking to a guy had no idea, honestly, until my mother because she goes, she was outside in the main room because I could hear her talking to him. And I think they were talking for an hour. I was like, who the hell is she talking to? And then she said the name and I was like, Oh, well, it just goes to show that you don't listen to the podcast either. I'm sorry. It's all good. Anyway, let's let's move on. Okay, it's fine. We're weird. We got it. But I also sometimes think it's weird when someone's like, I would never tell my mom that. And I'm like, Oh, that's strange. I can't. But I also like that's your normal. This is our normal. I'm going to put it this way and we're going to end it right here. I've said it before and I'll say it again. There's a time where you guys are my family and there's a time when you guys are my friends. Yeah. And when you got I make the inappropriate jokes, you guys are my friends. I know where the line is. And I know where to stop and where I can. But that's where it stops. Yeah, you're my friends and family. There's a fine line. So there it is. I got it. Idiots. If we are a little aggressive on this podcast today, if you guys follow me on social media, Easton and I decided to give up the vape. Now this was not something that I wanted to do. I gave it up because I told you guys that I am having work done on my upper body. You guys think I'm weird. So God forbid I say the word in front of Easton. Anyway, they told me that I had to give up the vape. So I did drag my ass into it. Well, it's horrendous for you. And we all know this and the way Easton smokes that you would think he's smoking a blunt. You guys, he double tokes and it is just like the magic dragon. It's not how the vape works. So of course, I dragged him into it and I'm telling you what, I have been tweaking. I got a one pound bag of popcorn jelly beans and devoured them in less than 48 hours. So those were gone. The way I was chewing gum like this. Literally, it was the most annoying. I was like, who am I chewing this gum like a cow with cud? It was awful. It still is awful. Easton, how's it going for you? I've ripped mom's head off a couple of times. Your head. Lisa's taking the brunt of it for sure. She's being dragged to filth. But it's just honest points. There was something that I said to her the other day and she goes like this. She stops, dead in her truck. She goes, oh, what you just said might make me cry. And I felt so bad. Oh, and I doubled down. We both doubled down. So we went to Palm Springs this weekend, you guys. And we went with my older brother and my nephew because he had a lacrosse tournament in Palm Springs. So I'm driving out day one of this tournament. And there's three lanes of traffic, right? One's coming from this way. One's coming from just straight down the middle and then opposite direction of me. And it's like they're flagging people when it's each line's turn. It is now my turn and this fucking Hyundai comes out of nowhere. Beautiful vehicle, by the way. She was going, she was going all of like maybe maximum three to five miles an hour, but she was aggressive and completely aggressive. Yeah, she was Easton. I looked over and she was like literally ready to side swipe me. She was going to side swipe me before she ever let me go in front of her. I'm livid. It was a long day at the lacrosse tournament. It was a wonderful day. I had a great day. I had the best time. Sosa's in the back talking and like that also made me upside because I'm like, my kid is on this side of the car. I'm furious, but there are cops around. Okay. So initially I'm like, because now we're stacked, right? Like she makes it through the line. We pull out. I'm right in front of her traffic has stopped. I'm like, I'm getting out of the fucking car and I am beating her window until she starts to record me and I get canceled. That's where my head's at. Right? That's how livid I was. There's a cop there. And so I was like, I could tell the way that her car is driving. Like it's like gas pedal. It's like, okay. And I even said, I was like, fucking ease up. My mother is telling me to watch my language. And I was like, Lauren, you're escalating it more. Oh, I was like, no, I, I, I kept it under control by just flipping her off and honking at her. Well, no, I hadn't done that yet. I get through three lights until we're finally home free out of lacrosse territory where there's cops at every stop sign because I'm certainly not going to get out when there's the popo right there. But you guys, I was in rare form. Like I'm not a confrontational person. Really? I don't know about that. When I say that, I mean, what physically? Oh, mentally, I'll devour mentally. I'm a confrontational, but once somebody slaps, roll the tape. I do not shy away from conflict. Unless you get a hit. But, but recently I have been taking a beat, right? The vape tested the beat. There's the beat. So we get through the cross territory. I'm on her ass. We come to a T and you either go left or right. She stops waiting for the cars. We're making a right hand turn and I'm like, fuck it. I lay on my horn and start flipping her off for a really long time. Like three seconds. Maybe 10. And then that's where I like coming from like, usually I'm the driver and they're usually yelling at me the way I was yelling at Lauren. I know I was in the right for this because she give it. I just got in an accident, by the way. Not a great one, not a bad one. I took the easy. We're going to talk about that, by the way. But coming off an accident that I just came from and then her saying, we almost got hit. I'm like, okay, we were going three miles an hour. Could have been worse. Yes, your child is in the car. She probably wouldn't have felt it, but she is fucking lifting her off just honking. Hovered the, if this is the steering wheel, she's fucking over it. Just and I go, what are you fucking doing? I go, you're fucking escalating it. What you don't want. And these are the type of, these women right here, these bitches, these bitches, mom and sister, by the way, they fucking yell at me. They're like, why would you do that? You're going to escalate it. And now people have guns and you don't know what they're going to do. And so I'm yelling at her like, fucking stop. They're going to fucking come out. And she's like, that is half of what I wanted to do. I was going to get out the fucking car and bang on the, and I was like, Oh, where are you? Let's fucking escalate it further. And I told her, I said, if that door would have opened, I would have jumped. I would have fucking wrangled your neck and I just said, breathe. And I had a typed in the nearest bait because no assault is worth not hitting a vape. I'm sorry. But guys, I'm going through it because I'm now getting yelled at by my mom going, she just needs to get it out. She's not vaping. And I'm thinking we're getting in like, I've seen this. We're not on a good end. They can get out with a bat and shit. And I'm thinking, oh, my God, we have a child. Yeah, yeah, it wasn't a proud moment. I made an amends. I wrote her a note. I spat a little bit on the mic, but I will say the key thing that Lisa's taking the brunt is her just dead mindless in the car. As we are just yelling at each other, going through it, she didn't move and she just goes, I'm very proud of you guys for not hitting the vape. And that right there almost made me want to hit my mother. Oh, fuck. Moving on. Oh my gosh. You have me in stitches. I may hit the vape. She's doing well. I'm new to sobriety. Again, you know, working on it, little relapse, re-lamps. We're staying strong today, baby. In Easton's sobriety journey, it's fourth time's the charm. I'm going to drink tomorrow. And tomorrow, I'm going to drink tomorrow. Because tomorrow never comes. Yeah, for real. And you know, I don't know about you, but I get so annoyed with people when they're like, yeah, you got to get off the vape. It's so bad for you. Is there like sipping a vodka soda? I'm not kidding you guys. I'm just, I'm cussing on this part. No, I know, but I can't promise you with me giving up the vape. There's just like one thing at a time. Right now it's the vape, then it'll be my mouth. How much, what do you mean? You've given up the, oh, saying the effort. Can I ask you a question? Yeah. How many, how many months of sobriety do you have now? Um, honestly, let's, let's look at how it is. You haven't been counting days, which is weird, because in the program we count days, but you are doing things slightly differently this round than you have in the past. Yeah. And here's the thing, people count days. And to people who count days, I love that. Count days for you. For me, if this is a forever thing, so why do I need to know what day it is? Totally. I understand that. You know, so it's just like, why count, why look at it and be like it's only been or wow, I've made it this far. It's like, it's just a forever thing. So like today is today. It's just a sober day. Just like tomorrow will be. And what day is it? Don't know. Well, you're just shy. You're two days shy of five months. Hey, I'll applaud myself for that. Yes. Very amazing. I will say like this one is very different. I'm very honest with you guys. Like I was in the car and I was like, I may need a vape. You don't know. I feel good. Obviously, my mom is like, she, I don't know if she has an addictive personality. Like she gave up alcohol. Her family does. I don't think she does. I think it's. No. My mom hasn't had a sip of alcohol since I got sober. She stopped drinking a year after I got sober and she kind of just did it out of one of the solidarity. Yeah, support. She did it for her kids. Yeah. So I think her addiction is more towards like she loves chips and sweets. And I try to tell her like not a great call. Wow, let's start. Let's do this. We shouldn't be having a red vape. No more vape, Lisa. And I tell her this, but I also had to explain to her like Easton is basically a handful of days, months sober. I'm seven years in and I'm just giving up the vape. So I understand that the vape is not good for any of us. No, but I will be damned if Easton starts teetering saying I need something. I, and he picks up a drink instead. I would much rather him say, you know, I need this for now because the vape really got me through really tough times going out with friends, go even, you know, something as simple as filming a show and the amount of pressure in those moments where everyone else is like, I need to have a drink in this moment. I said, get me to my purse. I need to smack the vape. Yeah. And I mean, I don't know. I don't go out really at all. If I do, I go with like close friends who know that like I'm sober, but it's just something, even when I go out, it's like I have a Red Bull or something, but it's just like hitting the vape. It's, I don't know. It's like you guys sipping a tequila soda and you guys getting that. It's like, I get something from it as well. And it's like, for people to come up to me though, and they're like, dude, giving up the vape, it's like, it gets better. It's like, oh, really? As you're fucking drunk right now, it gets better. I know you want to like slap them. I want to hit them. I want to fucking, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, and then smack it because it's like, you don't know, he's aggressive. Give me a vape. No, I'm going to do well today. It's going to be great. You're going to have a great day. Um, I know a lot of people were writing in for like tips and things like that. Um, I got a tip. I, what is your tip for it? Sprite? Just something. Oh, just having something to drink at all times. Just a little can of something. I, like I said, went heavy on the jelly bellies, heavy on the gum. Um, and then you know what else I started doing, you guys, when I wanted to hit the vape and I started tweaking, I would take a big breath in and hold it for like kind of a while and then let it out and I could feel a little light headed. Maybe that's not the best way to do it, but it did cure. The one thing, can I be honest? The one thing that I do is, uh, I'll find just a quiet area and I just breathe for five minutes. I'll just focus on my breathing. Just, and I don't hold in crazy. Like I'm not like in for eight, hold for six out for eight. Like I just find my breathing rhythm that I'm comfortable and I just breathe and then I figure out and there's just a time where I'm like, all right, good. Go. Yeah. So out of time to myself, just breathing through moments. There was a lot of football happening though. And that's when Houston and I do our best work with the vape. Don't we? Yeah. Can I be honest? Yeah. Always. I was not, I was playing video games with my friends last night. I was worried about you last night when you said I'm going to play video games. I was like, this is when he's going to tweet. I was tweaking, but I told them I was like, I quit the vape. And I was like, so just to let you motherfuckers know, I'm going to be a dickhead to you. They're like, all right. The amount of times Eastern called me and my mom bitches this weekend was like stupid. I love them to death. You know who that sounds like? You've never seen it. OG Rony, but Sonya is dating this really young guy, Frenchy. She's like, and he's, they're laying in bed and she's like, you know, they want to know who you are. And he's like, all of these bitches. Have you seen it? I think I have because I'm not kidding. There's something like I've seen because it's something that's making you say it. Literally is like, these are my bitches. Like I didn't come up with that. Like I heard it. Nobody got to the point where you were dropping it in front of Drayson, like our sweet 17 year old nephew and I, my sweet older brother who like would never tell us to stop doing anything. I got, I was like, you got, you got to realize it. You got to reel it in. People got to know. People got to know what? I don't know. Know your mouth. Know what you can and cannot say. I cannot say. I'm getting there. I cannot say what I was saying. I was tweaking out. I, I'm understanding. Yes. There are some things that I'm writing down in my good old book of goodies. There was, there was a, it's all I'll say about that book, but it's all over the house in Palm Springs. I kept finding that in freaking drawers. So my mother walked in on me with one and I didn't know what to do with it. I felt like I was like, my mom was like, you hit it. You had a guilty look. And I was like, I think it was a look of contemplation. Like what do I do with it? So I, so one of the nights I was driving down and I was like, okay, I don't need this because I'm going to wake up and I'm not hitting it. I'm going to throw it away. So I took a big old head and my, my addicted ass was like, I'm not going to throw it away. I'll throw it in the bag just in case. So I threw it, my duffel bag, forgot about it. And then I was going through my socks and how excited did you get? I don't, the feelings were all crazy. I don't know what I was feeling, but it was wild because like I found it and I was like, oh my God, do I hit it? Do I tell my, my, do I tell my homie that I found one? Yeah. My, my vape homie. That's who I was called. I was like, do I show her? Do I just hit this and be a piece of shit? What do I do? And then my mother walks in and I, I got, I found a vape. I just ratted on myself because I was so, I was like, I found a vape. She goes, you hit it. Didn't you? I was like, no, no, smile. No smile. Let's keep in mind you guys. We are 32 and 35. Okay. She walked in. I've been like, yeah, but she like, she caught me on her. I have a vape. Yeah. I'll like spill on the couch and be like, oh my gosh, my mom was going to kill me. And I'm like, no, I wouldn't be good in couch and my whole house just spray this shit with diet coke. Everybody, I'm dumping the whole can on the couch. Mom does that just on accident. It's just a tub of nice oily peanut butter, but to each their own. No, but you did come out and we, so we threw it in just the regular trash can in the house. I contemplated getting that thing. Did you get it out? No. You found another. We really did. That's what I told you. I found them in every pocket. Yeah. Do you have another one? Two green ones and then a watermelon. And I was tweaking so hard that I had to throw it in the dumpster outside that was filled with Sosa's dirty diapers just to not think about pulling it out anymore. And I still thought about pulling it out. That is how tightly the addiction has me gripped. I would have just taken that thing out. Let's go.

So I wanted to tell you, it makes me sad how little I talk about Sosa. She talks, I feel like you always talk about her. To you guys, but when I get on the podcast, I feel like I'm always talking about ocean, which is great, but I have to explain something that may not make sense to you guys. But maybe, I mean, obviously there's a lot of things within my family that don't make a lot of sense. I want to say this, there is at this point in time with Sosa and her age. It's not a lot going on. There's not only that, but I feel such a tremendous amount of peace being her mom. Does that make sense? Yeah. It's not that I don't feel peace being ocean's mom, but there's more fear there. For ocean because she's older, there's bullying that can start. So-and-so wasn't nice to me. But it's more about the split households of me sending her there and having no communication on that side of things. And when she comes back to my house, kind of having to maneuver her back on the right path. There's just a lot that goes through my mind and a lot of uncertainty. And it's probably stuff that I make up in my head, the uncertainty because there's a pretty clear-cut agreement. But with Sosa, it's just peace on every level. I'm sure she gets older, that's going to change. But I would like to start filling you guys in more about what she's doing. Because I have to be honest, there's another reason why I go back and forth on a third kid. I already feel like I'm not giving both of my kids the proper amount of attention. Ocean and where she's at in life right now, I feel gets most of my attention. And sometimes Sosa, I don't even want to say fades into the background, but she's just so chill and she's here all the time and she's not in school. Ocean, I'm having to plan play dates and, okay, you want to do gymnastics, let's figure that out. She's asking for this, she's wanting to do that. Oh my God, we have to apply for schools. It's just much more attention that I must give. And I need to give it to Sosa as well, which we're finding the balance. Well, she's going to get that attention in due time. 100%. That's the other thing. It's like Sosa's, she mo? She loves, yes. And she's learned that a dog says wolf, the horse we're still working on. She always says moo and I say no, a horse says may and then she says may. She loves, the lamb says, she can, she's getting, she can like, she needs a little help, but she can get up on the couch. She knows how, she knows how to get down the stairs. She knows how to go up the stairs. A little wonky on her feet. Yeah, like we're, you have to be there, but like honestly, there's just not, what are you talking about? That's actually not, that's not true. There is a lot to talk about. And there was something that happened, keep in mind, she loves saying TT. She is obsessed with him right now and it makes my heart so warm. I love her. But we were outside the other day and they were playing on the basketball court, ocean and Sosa. And I, I was a little bit worried about her playing on the basketball court because it's, she's a little wonky on her feet. Anyway, I didn't want to be a hovering parent. So I back off a little bit and I am bending down at eye level and I'm a few feet away from Sosa. And she's looking at me and ocean comes around the corner and she jumps onto my back. And I just, I make this noise of, oh, you know, when someone kind of like hit you in the back. It's like when you're breathing in and somebody hits you and you're like, oh, yeah. Sosa starts crying. Um, like the look on her face starts running, waddling up to me is hitting ocean as she cries and pushing her off of me. Once ocean gets off of me, Sosa collapses into me, arms wrapped around my neck. Mom saw the whole thing. Mom starts crying because it just, you know, and I hate to go to a dark place. Which I always do. How could you go to a dark place in this time? But I'm like this, not even 18 months old, my daughter looked at me and thought that I was being hurt and trying to protect me. That's not a dark place. That's how incredible that like at that age, you're in, you're instilled with protecting. Well, yeah. That's just, it's incredible to see. Cause honestly, I've never really seen, you see it in like mammals and like wildlife that they just like drop the kid out. They're like, all right, start walking. You know that they've, I've seen, but like I've never seen a baby instilled with that and seen it. I wish I saw it. Well, now I think you kind of understand cause I'm addicted to 2020 and Dateline, but when police are talking about, you know, something horrific that happened and they start getting choked up when they talk about how the child thought everything. And you know, that's just in our, like, of course you sit there and you're like, oh my gosh, that's devastating. But to watch my, my 16 month old look at me as if I was being hurt and already feel that and go into protection mode at such a young age. It was like, like I said, mom will tell you the story right now and start crying. I mean, we all cry about everything, but. Well, no, I just, I could, I mean, yeah, I could get teary eyed right now cause you think of like, I mean the dark things, but like the family, the UPS family, like the little kids, like there's seeing that little boy, I think he was four, like ripping his little brother off because he didn't want him to see his mom and dad like that. So it's just like, it's crazy. Really is wild. It's so wild. Anyway, I want to be better about sharing stories about Sosa. That's, that's one of. Another story she bumped her head. She did a short time after she was running and fell and went to catch yourself, but the booty kind of. You know, when the butt goes up a little bit and the hands keep going. So she's got like this bruise on her noggin. I didn't see any of it. I just came in the house. Big ol' when you're kid and I'm sure all of you know this, but for any of my parents out there, when they fall, it is so triggering and traumatizing. But here are things to look for because you immediately go into panic, especially when it's the head. You obviously want them to be screaming. You want them to be screaming. The moment that they stop screaming, if it happens quickly, be on the lookout. Also, look at their pupils because if they're dilated, that's something that you should definitely be getting medical attention for. So what I did was she continued to scream. She calmed down after a while, but I put a flashlight because it was kind of dark. Put a flashlight in her eyes and they obviously like retracted into, is that the word, into very small pupils. And then I took them off and then they went back. Pupils are huge when it's dark and then when it's light, there's some. Yeah, you just want to make sure that those are still, still working and keep an eye on them. Keep them up for, I like keep my kids up for an hour after they hit their head. Also, you can, I mean, I don't know how old because usually they're not going to follow, but you're supposed to move the light because if they're flickery, you're supposed to, you should be able to steadily look side to side. If your eyes like flick, that also is like an indicator that something could be wrong. I'm pretty sure that's the test. Okay. Well, I like all of these tests. One time ocean dropped so into the wall after I had told her a million and one times, don't pick the baby up, don't pick the baby up. Smashes her head into the wall. It's like scraped up big goose egg. I took her to urgent care. I actually talk about this. No, I took her to the ER in Palm Springs. And it was so interesting because they were not interesting. It actually made me very happy. Multiple doctors coming in asking me what happened. And then they checked her entire body and moved all of her limbs. I was so confused by that. And then I realized I'm sure that these people have seen some shit and they have to make sure that like my story is adding up and that this is not a situation that they need to come investigate. I was very appreciative that they were doing this. CPS, right? Yeah. How did we go from like vaping to like child protective services? Because we're not vaping. So we're everywhere. If I had the vape, I'd be right on target. Right on target. Not today. Hitting every move. Hey, there. This is Josh from Stuff You Should Know with a message that could change your life.

Yes, I'm taking notes right now from him. No, I didn't see that. I mean, I saw it, but like I was like, what the hell is going on in that family? That's so terrible. Well, I think the wife has not is not great. Who knows? I'm not in the family. This is just what I've gathered. Tell me where you've gathered because I've gathered nothing and I don't know. What I've gathered is he got married to this rich woman, Beckham did, the family. Yeah, her family is rich. Victoria and the dad do not connect with this woman. Well, this is now his wife. And so there's a rift. But now he's speaking out because the family has never truly said like what exactly the problem is. They just don't see each other. They're never together. But now David Beckham's. No, his assistant, his old assistant has come forward saying like the truth always comes out. And I just feel bad. I just feel real bad because. Every single person on the planet has some sort of complicated relationship with somebody in their family inner circle. And it's enough of a freaking headache and heartbreak without adding the microscope of the entire freaking world and the press wanting to know every single detail of everything. It's a lot. Where I'm like, just let him beef. Just let him beef. So that's where my head. How about get along with the fucking wife? Yeah, but sometimes you can't get along with a see you next Tuesday. Not sure if she is one. I could see it being the other way around. By the way, though, the wife's face is giving see you next Tuesday. Let me. In the best way possible. No, she's sexy. Is so stunning. Where she from? I don't know. But she's got this cute little nose. He's like, howdy little lips and these like sexy cat eyes. I'm like, oh my gosh, you're really hot.
