Guaranteed human. My mother-in-law spent years sabotaging our relationship until karma made her pay for it.

0

9.084 - 11.527 Unknown

All right, Sophia, tell me about how we started this story.

0

11.727 - 25.767 Dakota

She moved in for two weeks, lasted five days, left a mess, and then pressed her ear against their bedroom door and burst in screaming. When kicked out to a hotel, she called her son-in-law's workplace, pretending his partner had been rushed to the hospital by ambulance.

25.787 - 27.593 Unknown

She's Faked a medical emergency?

27.674 - 36.366 Dakota

1979, that was a big moment for me. 84 was big to me.

0

41.682 - 56.959 Unknown

I'm Sam Jay. And I'm Alex English. Each episode, we pick a year, unpack what went down, and try to make sense of how we survived it. With our friends, fellow comedians, and favorite authors. Like Mark Lamont Hill on the 80s. 84 was a wild year. It was a wild year.

0

56.999 - 78.34 Clifford Taylor IV

I don't think there's a more important year for black people. Listen to Look Back at It on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what y'all say. Yep, that's me, Clifford Taylor IV. You might have seen the skits, my basketball and college football journey, or my career in sports media.

78.621 - 96.592 Clifford Taylor IV

Well, now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show. This is a place for raw, unfiltered conversations with athletes, creators, and voices that not only deserve to be heard, but celebrated. So let's get to it. Listen to The Clifford Show on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

This space is about Black men's experiences, having honest conversations that it's really not safe to have anywhere, but you're having them with a licensed professional who knows what he's doing. How many men carry a suit of armor? It signals to the world that you're not to be played with. And just because you have the capability, that does not mean that you need to.

132.55 - 133.932 Lala Kent

Hello, gorgeous.

Chapter 3: How did Lala's recent experiences impact her perspective on love?

134.092 - 161.106 Lala Kent

It's Lala Kent. Welcome to Untraditionally Lala. Hello, gorgeous. Welcome to Untraditionally Lala. I am so thrilled to be back on this Wednesday. Happy hump day. Oh, last week was one hell of a week. Let me tell you what. You should say, what's the wrong? What's wrong, Harry? Did some little filly break your heart?

0

161.693 - 164.059 Unknown

Yeah. What did some little Philly break your heart?

0

164.56 - 170.053 Lala Kent

I'm not a Philly, but I'm thinking about switching that way. I'm really thinking about like.

0

170.454 - 173.982 Unknown

Guys, it's been a rough couple of weeks in this home.

0

174.518 - 195.62 Lala Kent

Well, just between like the surgeries that have been happening, which we've spoken about that are super depressing. And then like me for the first time in God knows how long letting my guard down and then immediately wishing that I wouldn't have done that. But we live and we learn. I know, but it took me out. Yeah, you don't say. Yeah, it took me out.

195.74 - 201.926 Unknown

Lauren, your energy is fantastic today. Can I be honest? Oh. You've been a Buzz Killington for the past two weeks.

202.507 - 203.428 Lala Kent

So it...

203.408 - 224.185 Unknown

two weeks why two weeks well mom had her surgery and then I was to Coachella and you went to Vegas and when I got home from Coachella you had been a little distant from your own self in mind

224.62 - 245.519 Lala Kent

I definitely lost sight of myself. And I learned a lot. I learned a lot. And I was saying to Easton, I was like, this feeling is not worth it. I'm never opening up again. Like I was living a peaceful life. My happiness was contingent on just myself and my kids. I learned that I have very little patience.

Chapter 4: What was the significance of Lala's speaking engagement at Girls Day LA?

274.965 - 294.165 Lala Kent

You've done it a couple times in five years and you're ready to call it a day. I was like, you're right. I cannot be wounded and scarred by this. I'm going to go and have fun and move on. And we're not going to let this just like completely shatter us to the point where the wall is built back up to the sky.

0

294.145 - 317.132 Unknown

Yes. But I don't know. We're very the same because I mean, well, it is easy to get back out there. Like when girls like dating apps and stuff and they're like, I've gone on three dates this week. I'm like, Jesus Christ went on three days in about a year. Right. Yeah. But like, maybe that's why they get over it a little quicker than me. I sit, I grovel in my sorrow and

0

317.23 - 346.663 Lala Kent

Well, because it's an intense feeling. And I was told that, which was a tough pill to swallow. I did not love this at all. I was talking to a friend and she was like, Lala, you emotionally relapsed. I was like, what do you mean? She was like, love. Love, we'll put it in air quotes because who the hell even knows what that means. I don't. I think I will know when it falls in my lap.

0

347.74 - 361.53 Lala Kent

But she was like, love can become like a drug and you can have withdrawals from it. And just like the communication and the things that you get used to. And so I've only listened to Cardi B.

0

362.084 - 362.625 Unknown

The past.

363.085 - 369.914 Lala Kent

The past week. It's the only thing I can listen to because she's just so spot on. She's so spot on.

370.815 - 382.429 Unknown

But I understand that it's a relapse for sure. When she said that, I was like, oh my gosh. Because it also takes 90 days to break a habit.

382.769 - 382.99 Lala Kent

Yeah.

383.17 - 387.315 Unknown

But I think it only takes like 30 days to build one. Build one.

Chapter 5: What wild coincidences did Lala encounter recently?

398.008 - 398.168 Unknown

Yes.

0

398.568 - 426.195 Lala Kent

You know what's weird? The child. The child. I will go through these moments and I then hit a point where it's like, nope, we're done. We've given it enough of our time. We have committed. You're breaking the routine. Yeah, we've committed to the bit of sadness and now fuck this. You think I'm going to let this, this dictate how I'm feeling going into my day? What the fuck is that? Is that?

0

426.175 - 449.088 Unknown

Is that why so many girls though? And guys like after one, like, it's like, oh, it's done. It's really, you got to hop back on something that get over the other. Because now think you've been just like sad for the past week, two weeks. Most girls would have been like, fuck him. I'm going on another date. And they would have gone on three. And this guy would have been in the past.

0

449.789 - 450.831 Unknown

I don't move like that.

0

451.212 - 451.352 Lala Kent

No.

451.372 - 451.813 Unknown

You don't either.

451.833 - 474.189 Lala Kent

I don't move that way at all. But over the weekend, what did help me tremendously is I got asked to speak at Girls Day LA, which is just like a... A moment where girls who are just needing to be uplifted and feel less alone can go. They had like an area to get tattoos. There was jewelry. There were just... It was just a positive environment.

474.249 - 493.295 Lala Kent

It was a woman who slid into my DM and she was like, hey, I met you at the magic show that took place in Vegas like in 2018. And it was... I remember it exactly and I was not sober. So she asked me, can you speak this year? And I was like, of course, that sounds amazing. And she gave me like what the talking points would be.

493.315 - 521.337 Lala Kent

And I just was like sitting in this room with all of these women who were staring at me and looking for the answers, which none of us have. And it was just such a crazy experience. I, at one point, had an out-of-body experience, which you guys know I have a lot of those, but I'm talking... And I see people writing things down and I see people like grabbing, you know, the person next to them.

Chapter 6: How does Easton describe our reality as a simulation?

530.232 - 546.777 Lala Kent

And I just started sobbing. I was like, I'm going to be honest. I'm that girl right now. I was like, I so needed this day and I'm just grateful to be here. I feel very supported. I feel, you know, not alone. And it could not have been a more uplifting environment.

0

546.857 - 565.442 Unknown

No, and your answer, just to let you know, was beautiful. Because sometimes when you're just like, I don't know, I don't have the answers. But if you were to be like, well, you just got to do A, B, and C, and then you leave and you listen and you're like, well, am I not doing A, B, and C? You were like, I don't have the answers. And they leave going like, none of us do.

0

565.462 - 568.286 Unknown

I feel a bit better today about not having answers.

0

568.306 - 593.334 Lala Kent

Yeah, I think the biggest thing is like in moments when you're feeling just lost and then the loneliness on top of it where you're like, I don't know what I'm doing. I feel very much by myself. And then you look at Instagram and everyone seems to be happy and living their lives differently. it does make you feel it's misery loves company and not saying that anybody in that room was miserable.

0

593.454 - 597.5 Lala Kent

I'm not even saying that I was miserable, but it was a situational.

598.201 - 599.343 Unknown

We're looking for something.

599.963 - 600.264 Lala Kent

Yes.

600.745 - 606.974 Unknown

We're trying to find something out of the life that we're out. Yes. We're not miserable, but I'm not going to say that I'm happy.

607.014 - 609.177 Lala Kent

Right. That right now is not fucking tough.

Chapter 7: What insights did Lala gain about her patience in relationships?

653.797 - 654.318 Unknown

We have a couple.

0

654.758 - 667.365 Lala Kent

They had each team, a part of Glassa, I think it was like two players per like drag team, I guess.

0

667.405 - 675.816 Unknown

I think it was... Each team had one participant. We only had one. Other teams could have had two. I didn't know the full... I was a judge.

0

675.996 - 695.761 Lala Kent

Gigi Gorgeous was a judge. This guy named Leo, who was fucking amazing. And he's on the new season of Loot. He was fucking fantastic and so funny. These... I don't want to call them amateurs because they were all fantastic, competed to raise money to go to the World Series, which is in what? Where's the World Series?

0

695.781 - 700.647 Unknown

Columbus, Ohio. Which, clear your schedule, bitch. We're headed there. We won.

700.968 - 713.684 Lala Kent

We're going to the World Series. And I want you to talk about it, but let me just say, this drag show and judging, it was the funnest time that I have had in a very, very long time.

713.744 - 714.405 Unknown

My favorite?

714.785 - 716.007 Easton

Gut. Gut.

715.987 - 724.922 Unknown

Jason. Jason on stage. I was dying. Yes. And I was kind of like, damn, I wish I was up there with Jason.

Chapter 8: What challenges did Lala face during her emotional journey?

762.238 - 779.219 Lala Kent

Not the call out about the bloody knees. I was like, I just thinking about it. You guys, that night revived my soul. Moving on. So Easton is a part of, of glass set and he's on the swingers team. Easton, tell us about your, what you did.

0

779.72 - 812.033 Unknown

So we punched our ticket with two W's on Sunday. And also I didn't know how crazy this league was, man. So I wasn't there cause I was in Coachella, but we played and we lost the, but they look into each individual player and you are by points is how they kind of grade you. So if you have 10 points, you're like in the D league, then 10 to 15, you're in a C league.

0

812.053 - 826.15 Unknown

And I'm just throwing out the point thing. I don't know it, but like, if you have too many, you have to go up these people. I guess the, the guys on the other team were hitting it far, way too far. So we had a, we put in a protest and,

0

826.18 - 828.963 Lala Kent

Okay. So... So you guys are the rats of the league?

0

829.003 - 855.072 Unknown

We're the rats of the league, baby. Yeah, don't let them get us. We need that. We need it. So we put in a protest. Joe Schmelzer, our dear friend, he had to get on like a FaceTime. I had no idea. There's like 20 people involved. And I'm like, okay, well, how far did the ball hit? They go into it. Well... We won the protest. Two of their players had to go up a game.

855.152 - 859.437 Unknown

So what that does to our loss, because we protested it, is they have to forfeit.

859.778 - 860.338 Easton

Okay.

860.358 - 863.542 Unknown

So we won off of a rat.

863.662 - 866.266 Easton

We're headed to Seattle, Washington.
