9:01 pm
book right now she's best known for appearing on the hit bravo show of vanderpump rules and she recently wrote that so it's called give the law lots currently have bailable in stores and online and contrary to the great william shakespeare i think originally the ides of march was a celebratory festival for the gods and certainly la la can attest to this as i think she just brought us blended new bambino into the world on march 15th please welcome. it oh i'm so good thank you so much for having me how's that beautiful baby brag guy brag on the beano a little. oh my gosh she is just the best thing that's ever happened to me the biggest accomplishment i i no one can prepare you for becoming a mom and just the love that you have it's almost it's
9:02 pm
a beautiful love but it's almost scary because you want to protect them and you you just without them you will not be ok so i have i was so worried about her inside my belly there were so many issues that i was thinking i just need her out so that i'll stop worrying now i just need to put her back in because i have more control over her her state of mind to me so i'm just over the moon and i'm a little biased because she's mine but she's absolutely beautiful i love that name it so there's not going to be a bunch of those in her school class tell me about her name again. dennis i wish that i had some like beautiful story to tell you which which i definitely yet it makes sense that her name is ocean because i am obsessed with the ocean it's something i cannot explain and you know i'm the crazy person out on the santa
9:03 pm
monica pier screaming you know save our orchids don't match and all that and. it was a fitting name but i came up with that when i was in the bahamas actually before ocean even existed or was even a cot a few years ago and i thought this beautiful yacht named the ocean alexander and i was like oh my gosh the name ocean for a baby is fantastic and my fiance randall was onboard and there we go out here we have our baby ocean a few years later. i find a very appropriate because think about the baby for 9 months in the amniotic fluid everything is an ocean that all those sounds of children the sleep and make them rest so it's very very fitting a young child arriving in the world with that lovely day i think it's a lovely well thank you and she's a pisces she's a triple waters time so it's just she's it's very fitting there you go you're
9:04 pm
covered. tell me about tell me about you know the best thing i always liked about parenthood i have 2 boys that all of it's good and all of it's sort of fraught nerveracking but i love the fact that in a 2nd to got me off myself to any degree i was never completely self-absorbed but like anybody if you're trying to make your way through the world. this and that ends it a 2nd or you're off yourself i find influx of. it really is amazing and i think you know most people when they're young they're a little self-absorbed people in entertainment are a special breed. but you're right the 2nd that she came into the world i forgot about all of mine leaves and wants and i and i'm sure this will change in time but right now my identity is oceans mom i live and breathe and make every
9:05 pm
decision based on the well being of my baby so you're absolutely right you do forget about yourself. you know the 1st the 1st baby so magical and mystical and you don't know what's coming only for the 2nd one can you plan a little and i'm just talking about branching out here from the core mothership of the vanderpump rules if you're breastfeeding on the 2nd shot you should come up with the vanderpump breast pump and i think we can make some money off the some just putting it up there i'm not trying to be callous but you are brilliant. i'm congress after that and asking her to go in on this with me may i make a breast pump called the van her call them to really. let you know you're right i send the deal to your employer or your. lawyer guy gift or through as a new mum i want no piece of it i just thought certainly with
9:06 pm
a name like vendor pop it has to fit some products it anyway and it would seem to be the breast pump perfect they tell me about the moon it's a brilliant go up. the new book you know i decided to write the book and i i wish i could say i wanted to write this book because i think people are that interested in my story but honestly there were so many things in my life that. were weighing heavy on me and i felt like this was going to be my purge there were so many things and labels being thrown at me after i decided to sign on to a reality show that really affected me and i felt like i was walking around a life with a scarlet letter and for me telling all of these stories was a purge and i think when people read the book if they know who i am i think they'll be shocked to read some of these things and if they don't know who i am i think the
9:07 pm
book is still entertaining and i also think that it's just enough of a wow i'm going to start conversations that make me feel uncomfortable and i obsessed over every story and should i tell this is this stupid do people care about this and even some of the stories my publisher said are you willing to take a lot of heat and criticism and i said absolutely that's actually what i'm best that's why i'm on a reality t.v. show so i think the book will be i hope people enjoy reading it as much as i enjoyed writing it because it really is something that i'm proud of. well listen well i always like to sing the praises and congratulate people who have saved their life and quite frankly you know surprised is such a brave choice for you know men there and people say oh come on either pick or not
9:08 pm
know you can really get thrown off in this world when somebody wakes up one morning says i've got saved my life here i've got to get sober quite frankly social media and all that reality t.v. all that everything outside of that baby ocean. and your parents or your parents should fall away it's all it's all drying it's all white noise the fact that you saved your lunch the big thing good for you know i'm so i'm so happy for n.p.o. thank you so much it's the biggest accomplishment i've ever had in my entire life and it's something that i'm the most proud of without i always save my sobriety comes before my my family and my fiance my baby because without sobriety i am worthless to everybody and you know i could be nonexistent should i fall back into a life of drinking and so for me i never want to say that i will never pick up
9:09 pm
a drink again that is my intention but i'm proud of every single 2nd that i go without a drink so thank you for acknowledging that the people that have been sober for many years those are my heroes because it's not easy. yeah it's a it's a day to day thing obviously the great build the via tells us and but i will say this it when your daughter grows up everybody wants to there's so much talk of female empowerment and there's human empowerment when the young ocean grows up and you can look her in the eye and say guess what i faced the greatest battle within myself and i conquered it and i knew that you'd become think someday and i wanted to be there for you to show you proof of how strong the woman in the well that would be the most glorious that there is no drink in the world would ever make you feel that proud when you're able to either that baby as a young woman say i could help you through any of this if you have any problems
9:10 pm
because i was a champion for myself what a great feeling me if you so much for talking about that if i feel like it's something that many people especially in my generation are struggling with and i just feel very grateful that i faced i did i got off the elevator i didn't wait for the elevator to hit the bottom floor before i decided to get off. and the fact that i 30 years old with 2 and a half years of sobriety under my belt i feel very that i hit that point at a young age. good free of very proudly and you know lots of duplicitous thing about social media the thing that lor's people in this i think everybody feels that this world's intertwining naam through social media but in an odd way us all coming together has put some people way way further out of the loop than they ever were there such as i think there's such an ability to be disdainful of people you don't know on social media but i think it makes certain people feel more ostracized them
9:11 pm
they even are in the world you've got make your way through the world you've got in yourself the people you've got to make friends and all that social media all that's out the window people are just disparaged people money no anything about that so it's a tough time to be a young person with some problems out there i know they should feel embrace the in many ways they're ostracized yeah you're absolutely right and as much as i'm grateful for social media because it's allowed me to do many things as far as the creator and i'll forever be grateful for that but it's also something that it really is the downfall of a lot of people so i think it's important to kind of be able to separate social media from real life and you know have your tribe that that they're in a catch you when you follow. us i would tell any kid watching out there as we go to break if you feel like social media is beating up on you it's not the real world
9:12 pm
there's human beings out there you've got to get up close and personal with people when you've got to actually write the know them i always legal social media is like the tinted window in a car that allows somebody to pick their nose and they're not big looked at. the table and that it's. when people get anonymous media they can show a mild side of themselves that get out there and meet him up close and personal and i think i think a lot of that must much of that falls away we're talking a lot like chapter she got a new book of essays called give them la la and it's bailable in stores and online we'll talk about how salt lake city girl and what her trek was over this way in the cali and all things lot right after this sadhana snow a plus well. there's
9:13 pm
so much going on in the fall don't you think when's the last time you had a real bird's eye view of. the news feed or and just hours of bickering you give me 30 minutes i'll take you off the low. those in command of toxic systems designed to keep us confused distracted and afraid are no match for an awakened mind they lie you win the war made lie you into poverty they tell you what they think they're watching you are you watching them are you watch or. watch now on portable t.v. . our culture is awash in lives dominated by streams of never ending electronic hallucinations that lurk fiction
9:14 pm
until they are indistinguishable we have become the most deluded society on earth politics is a species of endless and needless political theater politicians have morphed into celebrity are 2 ruling parties are in reality one part of the corporate world and those who attempt to function this vast breathless universe of fake news designed to push through the cruelty and exploitation of media little or force so far to the margins of society including by a public broadcasting system that has sold its soul for corporate money that we might as well be mice squeaking against an avalanche of posts we must.
9:15 pm
'd 'd i think the average viewer just after watching a couple of segments understands that we're telling stories there are critics can't tell when you know why because their advertisers won't let them. in order to create change you have to be honest you have to tell the truth parties able to do that every story is built on going after the back story to what's really happening out there to the american public what's happening when a corporation makes a pharmaceutical chills people when a company in the environmental business ends up polluting a river that causes cancer and other illnesses they put all the health risk all the dangers out to the american public those are stories that we tell every we can you know what they're working. for. now i
9:16 pm
remember when i 1st moved to california i took a bus a greyhound bus from pennsylvania to san francisco and we stopped overnight in salt lake city a place i had always heard about but never really knew and i stopped and i just remember saying this is a different behind me flex i've ever been in the world especially since i was speeding toward 7 cisco we're talking a lot like she has a new book out of essays called. give them a lot of law and you know are from the vendor public rules of course she's from salt lake city and i'm wondering. i know there's downsides and upsized all places tell me about salt lake city growing up what you make of it you know how like city with a place of that i did not. find it a great place or appreciate it until i left which. i think bums me out because looking back i feel like i have the type of upbringing in
9:17 pm
salt lake that you see in movies like it's very family oriented it's where your families are friends with different families and the husbands are friends and the wives are friends the kids are friends you grow up going on family vacations and family barbecues it's all about the family and i found that out here in l.a. it's a little bit different just because we're in a large city. but growing up in utah looking back was absolutely fantastic you know people still leave their doors open at nights and their cars open and take a walk past 9 pm and are not worried that something bad is going to happen you know your neighbors so it was difficult not being a mormon in a very religious state you know there was no separation between church and state.
9:18 pm
but i also think that that's what was great about it because that brought the closeness of the family and i don't think i could pick a better place to grow up. well that's such a nice thing to come to also the age sorry i'm wondering about one's are young girls are dreaming of fame and hollywood and all that when you're in salt lake city there's a come earlier as a coming your mood swings tell me when you 1st started thinking i'd like to try something like this. i think the 1st time i decided that i wanted to be in entertainment and on television was garcia i was in a class with miss denise and she was my pre-k. teacher so what is that 4 or 5 i would assume so very young i liked to perform i loved watching t.v. but it was less about the story that i was watching him more about. the people that were playing those characters and it just fascinated me and i wanted to be just
9:19 pm
immersed in all things entertainment in front of the camera yeah it was my colleague. that will be there will be andy kaufman's next andy kaufman andy cohen's next show the real housewives of pre-k. i think is working and that is the speaker not my god. that's the funny thing. a well let me a student of new what ok so now you've achieved that people know your name and that and the 30 you have some perspective on this leigh with a child and hubby and any any 30 year old that can say in retrospect where i was raised was a beautiful place you can tell they're starting to get out of the light pulse got a lot right didn't do you find it wanting do you find it leaves you sated or does it leave you needing more showbiz i mean. i think i
9:20 pm
would say it leaves me wanting more and this is the reason i moved to l.a. to be an actress and it was just kind of a very weird time when i moved down here we started getting into the most social media is what people are wanting we're putting influencers in positions that are going to get people to come out to see this movie so it wasn't so much about what is your training what classes have you taken and was more how many social media followers do you have and that was so strange to me because i started taking acting classes at the age of 12 so. it leaves me wanting more in the sense of i came out here to be an actor and was lucky enough to land a reality t.v. show that you know got my name out there but now the reason why i came out to california you know i enjoy getting a script i enjoy working on
9:21 pm
a character breakdown and things like that so yes i want more i want different i want to feel uncomfortable so yeah that's the answer. well that's a great answer when you say i want to feel uncomfortable because i think at some point i'll watch great actors and no be put in scenarios where i'll think my god how they release themselves enough to immerse themselves in the level of that seems like interest when you really watch a great character actor biting in the last hard hard role you say god bless him i don't think i couldn't go there every day so i think you must have that in you just the fact that you say i want to be fried no want to be tested i want to i want to walk through the fire to some of the great instead of the actors and i do i have it in me since i was you know telling people this show at the age of 3 wanting them to watch me perform so 1000000000 comfortable for many people would be like the most
9:22 pm
frightening thing ever for me it keeps me on my toes i'm a virgo i am wanting to you know always do better and thrive a little bit more yeah conquer conquer my you can. i use always love the feeling i don't stand up as much anymore but when i would get to the edge of that curtain my whole life i had a walter mitty thing about being brave i felt like so much of a timid young man and when i get there and i did be able to step out and everybody had to fall back we hunt all the people who are running to be or suggested me or want to be they'll stop here because they're frightened i stepped out there i was scared but it also felt so oh i feel so good i thought god i'm finally the fearless guy if i always wanted to be raised up big i'd say what you mean about the fear it's a it's good to walk through it i think it is still i just i crave moments
9:23 pm
where i grow each time and i know that sounds so corny but i just i've always been that type of person make me feel mainly well scared. i dasn't i'm corny to me it's the stuff of life and sometimes the stuff of life is disparaged by people. let me just say those who aren't trying get off and find their dismissive but obviously it's step you take is growth and sometimes when you scare the living out of your suffolk great so you have bigger leap rather than a baby step up so i understand it would just say now listen women we're talking obviously to our friend ken she has new book out called give them lots of ailill in stores and online this airs on may 4th and i believe the book comes out today you know or from vanderpump rules i must say i am not immersed in the world of reality television but i've always loved the relationship between least of vanderpump and
9:24 pm
her husband i think is ames ken. i always found them sweet together they had the vanda both cutest little to even of the dog still are on i don't want to be i don't want to be brusque but they always seem like a sweet couple please tell me they're still together right now they're still together going strong and i i think that's because they found their their best friends within their lover and i think that's really important to you know you the looks are going to fade the sexual drive is not always going to be there and you have to have your best friend in those moments where you know year you're not. you're feeling like ok i don't really want to get all dolled up tonight i kind of just want to put a face mask on you know from i saw pants on so that's what they have in each other and they both are passionate about the animal and i think that's something else
9:25 pm
that that keeps them together because they they have their businesses together they're best friends they have the same passion they're incredible couple and i yes what white people they only fans of you guys we are they like they are on t.v. i love them and i hope they're just as sweet they are. i think lawler speaks the truth or you're not always going to be as they say in the lido business hanging off the chandelier but if some point you can go out and pick them a chandelier if you go shopping for a show. on the with something that still is very sweet next chapter in your love affair well listen kid i'm happy for you got a hit show and it sounds like you've got more rules to come get back to your acting now that you're a mom but in the interim you're working under lisa she sounds like kobayashi got a baby you've got an old man you love i hope you're taken mental polaroids their luck out because this is a you're in the sweet spot these are the ones you look back on later in life and go
