Lala Kent
begin two or three years the kids are not alrigh that's okay cause no one here is take me in an attempt for us to feel less awkward about some of our teenage stories, I have asked my listeners to send in their own embarrassing stories from childhood in hopes of finding a commonality in humiliation. And this week we hear from Joseph, whose decision to pose for a camera brought shame to not only his life, but to his entire family's.
Bowen Yang
All right. For me, probably one of the most embarrassing things from my childhood is that in the December 2000 January 2001 Teen People issue with Backstreet Boys on the COVID on page 83, you'll find me. Because I was outside of an NSYNC concert looking for girls in New York City and Teen People came up to me and asked to take my photograph. I gave them a fake last name, which was a family name. They ended up spelling it wrong in the photo. And I was wearing a pair of bootleg Tommy Hilfiger jeans very clearly. So that's always kind of haunted me and it embarrassed my family back then. But it's pretty funny now.
Danielle Fishel
Well, now it's iconic.
Lala Kent
I mean, it's so iconic.
Danielle Fishel
So good.
Lala Kent
The Tommy jeans patch is way too big. Oh my God. Can we talk about how important magazines were in the 90s and early aughts?
Danielle Fishel
Oh my gosh. It now. Like a lot of publications don't even do hard copies. Everything's online, but that's how people consumed. I remember my mom having stacks of magazines that you could not throw away because she hadn't read through them and they were sitting by the bathtub.
Lala Kent
Yes, yes. My mom and I every so I think the new magazines come out on Fridays and if you're lucky, the grocery stores and magazine stands will put them out on Thursday night. Ooh. And so on many a Thursday night my mom and I would go, do you want to run over to Ralph's and see if they put the new magazines out and we would buy the new people and the new us and the entertainment weeklies and whatever. Whatever magazine we could get our hands on. And same, you were not allowed to throw them out until everyone had read them, even if they were months old. Didn't matter. Oh, yeah, this news is months old. Who cares? Must go back and read it. Also, during the summer months, living in the San Fernando Valley, it would get so hot that my best friend Jamie and I would sit out by the pool. Her family also had a house in Palm Springs, where you now live. And we would go to Palm Springs, and I remember it getting so hot that the magazine bindings would just melt. So you'd just be holding your magazine and the magazine would just split down the middle from the glue, just melting in the 100 and, you know, 14 degree weather or whatever. Man, I loved magazines.
Danielle Fishel
Yeah, I mean, even now. But my mom, like, someone will send me a picture of myself in one. And my mom's like, we got to get to the store and buy it. And I'm like, we don't Google it.
Lala Kent
Same. I. I have so many teen magazines. Teen Beats. Oh, yeah. That I was in that my mom saved and put little, little tabs on the page of where to find me. Yeah, it's very cute. And you prob. Probably should okay by let your mom do it, because in 30 years, you may still be doing a podcast like I do, and you'll want to be able to say, look, here's me and Teen Beat. And here's a. Here's. Yeah, you never know. You never know what your future holds.
Danielle Fishel
All right, there we go.
Lala Kent
Let your mom. Let your mom get a copy of those magazines that you're in. Did you wear Tommy Hilfiger as a kid? Do you wear Tommy Hilfiger now?
Danielle Fishel
How wild that I went to my first NSYNC concert at a college in my mom and her friend surprised me and my friend. We were in elementary school. Britney Spears was the opening act. I think it was at. I think it was at UNLV in Vegas.
Lala Kent
Okay.
Danielle Fishel
And my friend and I wore Tommy Hilfiger overalls where it was the blue and red.
Lala Kent
Yep. I can picture them. Those are. Those are very cool. Did you undo one side or did you wear both sides?
Danielle Fishel
No, I wore both.
Lala Kent
You are both. Okay. Did you wear just like a tube top under it?
Danielle Fishel
Oh, no, I was. I was like a long sleeve. I mean, when did NSYNC come out? I was third, fourth, fifth grade.
Lala Kent
Okay. Yeah, your elementary school. So what. Do you remember what year this was? Like Is this. Are we talking 98, 99?
Danielle Fishel
It had to have been. Yeah, because it was their first album. I don't know if you remember, but it was like the faded photos of all five of them.
Lala Kent
And, oh, I remember.
Danielle Fishel
Who doesn't remember? But how funny that the. The guy who called in was in Tommy Hilfiger at nsync. I was like, hey, me too, bro.
Lala Kent
Well, Tommy Hilfiger was very popular, mostly because of Aaliyah.
Danielle Fishel
I know.
Lala Kent
She was such a. Such a babe. And she.
Danielle Fishel
Really such a babe.
Lala Kent
I know. And she put him on the map. Yes, very much so. I know most people are surprised to learn what OCD really is because pop culture has spread the idea that it's just about being super neat and organized, but that's not accurate at all. My husband has ocd, and I can tell you it is so much more than that. Real OCD is a serious condition where you get unwanted, distressing thoughts called intrusive thoughts. They're stuck on repeat in your mind, often focusing on people or things we care about, like relationships, identity, or character, making them hard to ignore. And then you feel driven to do certain behaviors called compulsions to try to make the anxiety stop. This obsession and undying desire to make it go away can completely derail you for decades. Jensen ruined his own life and the happiness of those around him purely because he couldn't make the repeated worry go away. But he'd eventually learn it doesn't have to be that way, because OCD is one of the most treatable mental health conditions once you get the right kind of specialized therapy. OCD needs ERP therapy. That's exposure and response prevention, which has proven to be the most effective treatment. Regular talk therapy isn't recommended and can actually make OCD worse. NOCD is the world's leading OCD treatment provider, and all of their licensed Therapists specialize in ERP therapy with NOCD is 100% virtual, covered by insurance for over 138 million Americans, and includes support between sessions so you never have to face OCD alone. To learn more about starting OCD therapy with NOCD, go to nocd.com and book a free call with their team. That's N o c d dot com. You know what's wild? We can video chat from space, order groceries just by talking out loud, and men have like 17 options for hair loss alone. But a bra that actually fits and feels good, apparently too much to ask. Until now. Meet the uplift bra from Nix. That's K N I X, a wireless bra that finally delivers real lift and all day comfortable.

Danielle Fishel
Oh, my orange. My freaking orange face makeup.
Lala Kent
What?
Danielle Fishel
I don't know why I would and act like I could lie to my mom that I didn't have makeup on and it was bright orange and my hands never matched my face. But then Jergens came out with tanning lotion. So then anytime I didn't have my orange face on, I had a, you know, ghost face with orange hands. It just, the whole thing was bad.
Lala Kent
Yeah. So you started tanning. You're talking about like, or when you're talking about orange makeup, you're talking about the T. Like you wanted a tan.
Danielle Fishel
I wanted, yes. I wanted to look exotic, erotic, and,
Lala Kent
you know, Yeah, I listen. Tanning products have come a long way. And as again, someone who just got off the Dancing with the Stars tour, I've never been more obsessed with tanning and body makeup. I currently have zero. I'm as pale as a ghost.
Danielle Fishel
You and me both. But anytime I get my makeup done, I'm telling you, I look at, I'm like, oh my gosh, I look gorgeous.
Lala Kent
May I tell you about Westmoreland Westmore body makeup? Do you know of it? No. Tell us. Okay. So Westmore body makeup is something I fell in love with while I was on the show because I had the torn hamstring where I was black and blue from butt to ankle on one leg. And they have at Dancing with the Stars, they have a wonderful body makeup artist. But what she uses mostly is just like makeup you would use on your face concealer. And this was. You need to cover my entire leg. So I did some research and I this makeup that's body makeup called Westmore Beauty. And it come you buy a big buffer brush, like basically a giant body sized kabuki brush.
Danielle Fishel
Okay.
Lala Kent
And the makeup is Waterproof. So you put it on your body 15 minutes before you have to get dressed. And if you're wearing something like I was wearing for Dancing with the Stars, where your costumes were like scraping up your skin, some of it's still going to transfer. So if you're wearing like say a dress and you just want to have it on your legs and your arms, go ahead and put the dress on first, then do your body makeup. And within 15 minutes it's not going to transfer, it's not going to smear. And in order to get it off, you're going to either have to scrub aggressively with soap or use an oil based cleanser. Even just getting into the shower and letting water hit it won't wash it off. So you could go swimming with it. You could do anything. But it totally hides imperfections, veins.
Danielle Fishel
Oh, okay. So you said it's called Westmore.
Lala Kent
Westmore. Look, it's on Amazon. They have a bunch of different colors. They sell the kabuki brush.
Danielle Fishel
There you have. It has to be an oil because here's the thing. Love getting my makeup done and being glammed head to toe, but when I'm over it, yeah, I want it off.
Lala Kent
Just shower and soap. It's fine. You don't have to, you don't have to use the oil. What I'm saying is like I, I don't use the oil based cleanser on my body unless I'm washing my face already in the shower with my double cleanse. Soap will work. Okay, washcloth soap. And perfect. And it comes right off.
Danielle Fishel
Done.
Lala Kent
Not like stained. Not like with, you know, spray tan where then you're kind of stained. Anyway, highly recommend it to anyone who's looking for it down. And they have so many different colors. You can take yourself from very pale to golden bronze. Or you could go, hey, you know what? I just want to look like a little healthier of a version of myself.
Danielle Fishel
Okay.
Lala Kent
And. And then. But I can't recommend it enough. So that's perfect.
Danielle Fishel
Thank you.
Lala Kent
Have you taken your kids to any concerts yet?
Danielle Fishel
I took Ocean to her first concert. It was, she was probably two and a half. And I took her to Pink.
Lala Kent
Oh.
Danielle Fishel
Because she was obsessed with pink and she was obsessed with that song where she's like pushing him down the stairs.
Bowen Yang
I was like, I don't know that
Danielle Fishel
I should be letting you watch this, but it's kind of making me feel happy too. But the anthem of hours after I left my, my ex was Cover Me in Sunshine by Pink and her daughter.
Lala Kent
Yes.
Danielle Fishel
And it was just basically. I don't know if you've heard that song, but I have.
Lala Kent
I know the one with her daughter.
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Danielle Fishel
It's so good. And Ocean just loved it. So that was the first concert that I took her to. Now she's obsessed with, like, I can't. Like, Sabrina Carpenter already and K Pop Demon Hunters. I'm so down for. But there's artists where I'm like, I cannot take you to a full concert of theirs.
Lala Kent
Yeah, yeah, that's. That's definitely gonna happen. I, Yeah, I do see that still. Sabrina has some very young fans, and I think, oh, I, I. By the way, there's clean versions of
Danielle Fishel
the music and of course, nothing to do with the artist. I just. I won because I remember watching some crazy things.
Lala Kent
Yeah.
Danielle Fishel
As a young child, and I'm like, well, maybe that's why I was so ready to grow up.
Lala Kent
Yeah, I know. I mean, I. Those Janet Jackson videos from my childhood were so hot. And I. Of all the things, like, thinking about my mom not letting me watch 90210, and I'm like, But I was able. We did a little dance to a song by Janet Jackson that it was like, if I was your girl all the things I'd do to you. And I'm like, wait, why. Why was I. Why were we dancing at 6?
Danielle Fishel
I know. Going down to my older brother's room, and he had Janet Jackson like this with the hands over his boobs. And I would just stare at it and think, oh, she's so pretty and his hands are so hot.
Lala Kent
Yes, I know. I know. It is hard, though. I think no matter what you do, no matter how much you try to censor and shield and bubble, that is just a part of growing up. And discovery is like. And it has to maybe feel a little illicit. Like, I know I'm not supposed to be looking at this, but I am.
Danielle Fishel
Yeah. You know what? I just. I know that ocean is going to be exposed to things. And what I actually love is the other day, she was looking on my phone and she found my maternity photos when I was pregnant with her. And it was me basically naked with just, like, this shawl, and I'm holding my bump and holding my boobs. And I was like, I was pregnant with you. And she goes, mom, this picture is so inappropriate.
Lala Kent
How cute is that?
Danielle Fishel
Yeah. So I was like, all right, that's fine.
Lala Kent
When I did my photo shoot for Dancing with the Stars and I put on my very first costume that was rather low cut, and I took a picture of myself in it. And I sent it to my husband, and Adler saw it over Jensen's shoulder, and he said, what's that? And Jensen showed him and said, look, this is mommy getting ready for her photo shoot. And Adler said, I don't. I don't like it.
Danielle Fishel
I don't like it.
Lala Kent
And Jensen said, why? Why don't you like it? Doesn't Mommy look great? And he said, no. What's. She's gonna fall out of that. That. What if that opens? No, I don't. I don't like that. She needs something more right here. And he was just, like, pointing to his chest, like, she needs more here. I don't enjoy it. And so I thought, okay, I. You know, I understand that you go,
Danielle Fishel
all right, this may just be how you were born, or I'm doing something right. Yeah.
Lala Kent
I'm not sure whether I take credit for this or if this is just who you are. My kids are. My kids are pretty. Even now at six and a half and four and a half, my kids enjoy their privacy. They will get mad at the other brother if they feel like they're looking at them when they change into their pajamas or if they go to the bathroom with the door open and then one of them walks by, they'll get mad at that person. Even. I'm like, well, you're the one who should close the door. But, like, they'll. They'll get mad like, mommy, why walked by me while I was going to the bathroom? It's like, so my kids are. My kids are very. They're very conservative in that regard.
Bowen Yang
So.
Lala Kent
All right, I'll take a bit. Yeah. Well, Lala, thank you so much for being here with me and for hanging out. You can hear Lala on two hit podcasts nowadays, untraditionally, Lala and An Unlikely Affair, both available wherever you get your podcasts. And don't miss her on the new season of Bravo's the Valley. Had so much fun with you. We've got to get together. Maybe we can go to sushi. It's Akaya.

Guest: Lala Kent
In this nostalgic and candid episode of Teen Beat, Danielle Fishel welcomes reality TV star and podcast host Lala Kent for an energetic, relatable, and often hilarious deep-dive into their shared histories of pop culture, fashion faux pas, and the complexities of growing up in the public (and private) eye. The discussion flows from childhood embarrassments to 90s/00s teen magazine culture, parenting challenges in a digital world, cringe-worthy fashion moments, body image, and raising kids with healthy boundaries.
The episode is warm, relatable, and full of laughter, underscored by a sense of nostalgia and genuine connection between Danielle and Lala. They swap stories with self-deprecating humor and candor, never flinching from their own embarrassing or formative moments. The tone is friendly and conversational, offering comfort and amusement for listeners of all ages—especially those who grew up with 90s and 00s pop culture.
More Time With: Lala Kent offers a delightful blend of candor, comedy, and nostalgia. Danielle and Lala reflect on their formative years, sharing cringe-worthy but formative experiences with honesty and heart, while also engaging deeply with issues of parenting in a new era. Their willingness to laugh at themselves, remember awkward moments fondly, and discuss the real experience of growing up (in the limelight or not) makes this episode both entertaining and meaningful—especially for those who remember the anticipation of flipping open a new glossy teen magazine.
