D
Let's go.
- [02:30]
A
Lola.
- [02:31]
E
Lola.
- [02:32]
A
Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, Lola Consuelos Wow.
- [02:40]
B
This year.
- [02:45]
A
Okay, so you are our most requested guest. Did you know?
- [02:50]
B
Like this?
- [02:51]
A
Yeah. Did you know that?
- [02:53]
B
Well, sorry. As I took a swig of water, you guys told me I was the most wanted guest. And I basically am assuming. I assumed at first that someone had dropped out. And that's why you guys are trying to lure me into this room.
- [03:13]
A
No, you did not. Nobody dropped out. You are our most requested guest.
- [03:18]
B
I feel like I'm in a studio.
- [03:19]
A
Do you want to sing something for us?
- [03:21]
B
No, don't talk to me.
- [03:25]
A
Why do you think people are so interested in you?
- [03:30]
B
Well.
- [03:32]
A
They watched you grow up on tv.
- [03:34]
B
They watch that. But also, I feel like I'm. Out of all the Consuelos children, I'm probably the most active on social media and I probably post things that people maybe don't like. I wore a T shirt yesterday, the other day that said, do my boobs look big in this?
- [03:54]
A
Which is kind of. It's kind of funny because.
- [03:56]
B
It's funny because I learned this new term. Well endowed.
- [04:03]
A
Yes, you are. You've got a robust bosom.
- [04:08]
B
Exactly. But let me tell you, I did wear this top just to be provocative. Just to be provocative and to hopefully scare away some of the hating grannies. Is that fair to say?
- [04:21]
A
What's interesting is that I find this. People that troll me on social media also troll you.
- [04:27]
B
My favorite comment that I ever got, it was, I think it was in 2018 and I posted a photo of myself in a. Like, it was a see through tank top kind of. And I was wearing a bikini because I was on vacation and I posted it and someone commented, spoiled rotten, big boobs, zero worries. And I really want to print it out and put it on a T shirt because I thought it was so funny. Spoiled rotten, big boobs, zero worries. I clapped back once, I think it must have been during COVID And I think I was bored.
- [05:00]
A
Yeah, it's bored boredom.
- [05:01]
B
And this mom commented something very mean. And I basically went to her profile and saw her daughters and I said, I'm sure your daughters would really appreciate seeing their mom comment on a. I was 18 on an 18 year old girl's post. And then I deleted it. But I was so bored it didn't even bother me. I just wanted to embarrass her.
- [05:32]
D
I like your response.
- [05:33]
A
How's it been living in London? Like, tell me your life there.
- [05:36]
B
I love London. To everyone listening, if you, you know, you're talking to the most wanted podcast guests, you should probably listen to my opinions I encourage everyone to do, at least, if you can, a year, maybe less, maybe eight months. I don't know. Living in London, I think it's the best city. I love New York. New York's always going to be my home, but London just has a charm that.
- [06:07]
A
It's on a charm offensive.
- [06:08]
B
I knew you were going to say that. I knew you're going to say that. It just has. It has such a charm. It's so beautiful. London life is great. I could not be happier. I'm currently in the process of applying for my visa, which would then extension my visa extension, which would then let me stay there for another five years, which is quite nutty.
- [06:28]
A
It was. It's such a bold and brave move for you to pick up after college. You graduated and literally went straight to London.
- [06:38]
B
Yes.
- [06:40]
A
What did we do to upset you so much?
- [06:48]
B
You guys didn't do anything to upset me. First of all, I grew up in New York, like most of you would know, and I went to nyu, so I never left New York. I started university during COVID basically when Covid started. So it was like such a weird college experience. But I feel like, for the most part, I always heard of my friends loving New York when they came home because they missed it. And I didn't feel that because I didn't have the chance to miss it because I decided not to leave. You guys really didn't do much. And so, I don't know. I think London seemed like a good place for me to start, as I also did my semester abroad there. I had made a lot of new friends in London, and it felt very comfortable to me.
- [07:40]
A
And when you say we didn't do much, what does that mean? I mean, I personally, I felt like I was on an airplane helping you find an apartment.
- [07:49]
B
No, I'm saying you guys didn't do much to make me leave.
- [07:52]
A
Oh, I see. I see. I got it.
- [07:55]
B
Yes.
- [07:56]
C
I'm with your mom.
- [07:57]
B
I will say this. I will say this. Mom was amazing when it came to apartment hunting and asking all the right questions. Asking all the right questions. And it's so funny because. Well, I need to put a little side note here. When I did my semester abroad in London, there was a huge, huge murder that had happened. And I was very, very scared of it. And I also am very like, it happened in America. It happened in America. I have crippling anxiety. It's getting better. I was obsessing over this case, and I could not stop thinking about it. Truly, in everything I did, I spoke about it. And it also happened to be when I was doing my semester abroad in London and I would constantly message my parents every night before bed, mainly, mom, am I going to. Is something going to happen?
- [08:51]
A
2, 3, 4, 5 o' clock in the morning. It was like an all night rain thing.
- [08:57]
B
Is anything gonna happen? I started like slamming my door three times every night before bed, checking it. Literally couldn't fall asleep even when I was at someone else's home. Couldn't fall asleep even though I was. It was my. And it was my first time living alone in different countries. So I think obviously that played a part in it. And London is so sweet in the way that at least in the area that I'm in, most of the buildings are like you just let yourself in with a key. And I'm used to like doorman buildings. And so it felt, I know it's not unsafe.
- [09:35]
A
You felt vulnerable.
- [09:35]
B
I felt very vulnerable. But so I had to go say that because when I visited London with you, Mom. For those who are listening, we should really get cameras. First of all.
- [09:50]
A
No, no, this is called camera. I know, I know.
- [09:53]
C
Ignore the lighting that we have.
- [09:54]
A
Although you really do look very pretty. So I wish people could see you right now because you.
- [09:59]
B
I'll post a picture on Instagram. When we did all these apartment tour hunting tours, I saw a really cute muse. It was in Notting Hill. And we, we were with. It was my mom, my boyfriend and I and we all were looking at it and my mom said, I'm just telling you, I think it's great. But there's. This is not even like you have neighbors living in the building above or below you. You're all alone. Is that something that you're willing to do? Are you going to call me?
- [10:30]
A
The door is right on the street.
- [10:32]
B
It's right on the street. Are you going to call me every night?
- [10:34]
A
The windows are right on the street.
- [10:36]
B
But, but any normal person would be like, this is amazing. And my mom said that I was like, oh my God, she's so right. This is going. I'm going to get myself into a fear spiral. Fear spiral here. So. But just little things like that where I was like, okay, this is really. You're asking. You're, you're basically pre.
- [11:03]
A
Selecting.
- [11:04]
B
You're just. Yeah, what's it when you're just setting me up? You're, you're basically making me picture myself and what fears would become a thing.
- [11:14]
A
I was just. As a mother, I just envisioned you. If you're going to live so far away from Us alone by yourself. And we are not just a car ride away. We are far away from you. I did the responsible parent thing and asked questions because there were a couple of lovely apartments. She looked at a couple of lovely buildings and walk ups she looked at. But I would notice things like there's a scaffolding there. How long will that scaffolding be there? Will that apartment window be accessible to that scaffolding that anybody can climb up? You know, And I would just love.
- [12:00]
B
Why I have these insane fears because that is like so, I mean, yeah, it's like, I guess you're. If you bring an umbrella. Well, rain. But also sometimes it's like that is. Why would that happen?
- [12:14]
A
I just wanted to cover all the bases. And you found the right building? I found amazing.
- [12:20]
B
The best building, the best apartment. I feel very cozy there.
- [12:24]
A
You're very lucky.
- [12:26]
C
Bank safe.
- [12:27]
B
Yes, it's next to a bank safe. It's around the corner from actually next to a owl, a cinnamon bun place.
- [12:38]
A
What's it around the corner from? What do you videotape every morning and send to dad and me? Is it the retirement community?
- [12:44]
B
Oh my God, yes.
- [12:46]
A
She's. Every morning she walks by the retirement community and sends us a picture and she's like, look at how chic this is.
- [12:53]
B
It's so luxurious.
- [12:55]
A
She shows me the restaurant. She's like, there's a restaurant in there. Look at how elegant it is. You see like one person sort of.
- [13:02]
D
Is she putting you in a retirement home already?
- [13:03]
A
She's putting me in a retirement home.
- [13:05]
B
It's just for if they ever want to move to London, they know that they have a great base.
- [13:08]
C
Excuse me, a retirement home with Range Rovers and Cinnabons. What's the problem with that?
- [13:13]
A
Literally, you know, your dad and I were talking about like if we ever left New York, like, what would our futures look like if we ever just like, you know, just gave up on New York, like, where would we go? And. And dad's first thing is, he said, well, we would have to get an apartment to be near Lola.
- [13:29]
B
Oh my goodness. I've been. This is my whole plot. Every time they come to visit me in London, I'm like, first of all, it's never. London has been. The weather has been beautiful. But I feel like every time you guys come it's a bit gray, a bit rainy, but I'm always trying to have them walk down these really beautiful streets with these homes to be like.
- [13:46]
A
Oh yeah, no, you have to see that. I'm like, do you see this Anyway, is there someone special in London? Is there a special someone that you want to inform us about or do you want to. Or do you want to keep that on the qt?
- [14:02]
B
No, because here's the thing, okay. At this point, it's like I don't even. I don't even. I don't even say names. There is, of course, there's someone special in London. There's someone special in New York. There's someone. No, that sounds so bad. That sounds so bad.
- [14:21]
D
He's not gonna like that.
- [14:23]
B
No. AKA my parents in New York.
- [14:25]
A
That's nice. We're the someone special.
- [14:28]
B
There is someone very special in London who Albert's met to make us relatable to the podcast table. You've met him, Mom. You've met him.
- [14:41]
A
I love him. I love his family. We are very close.
- [14:45]
B
They're very close.
- [14:46]
A
We have a lot of. We, you know, his mother and I have a lot of conversations about you two that you don't.
- [14:52]
B
We have a lot of conversations about you two. I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
- [14:59]
A
So how did you two originally meet?
- [15:01]
B
Okay, so. Oof. So we met.
- [15:05]
A
You met on vacation.
- [15:06]
B
We met on vacation. We both grew up going to a place that is special to both of us. Very special.
- [15:15]
A
Individually.
- [15:15]
B
Individually. Well, first of all, the funniest thing is, is that some people are gonna think this sounds stupid and silly. I'm a very big believer in the invisible string theory and I can't necessarily define it. Albert, don't look at me.
- [15:29]
C
No, I want to hear what this is.
- [15:32]
B
Basically the inv. String theory is the theory. And I don't. This is not the exact definition, but it's basically the. The idea that you and your partner who you're with, whether that be someone that you end up marrying or just together for a long time, probably have had an invisible connecting string in some form, shape or form, whether that be places. What's the. Okay. The invisible string theory is a popular non scientific concept suggesting that people destined to be together are connected by invisible metaphorical string and their meaning is inevitable, often tied to ideas of fate and destiny, period.
- [16:13]
D
Thanks for looking it up, Albert.
- [16:15]
C
I'm like, let's get to it.
- [16:18]
B
Yes. So back to how we met. And the invisible string theory is that it's a so crazy that we both grew up going to this very small, small island. And because he's not from the US and because I am from the US we would go on these vacations at different times. Usually people that are from the US Go during spring break, and if maybe you're from the UK or Europe, your spring break is different. But it's so crazy because we have a lot of the same memories growing up at this place. Like, I'll make a weird reference. They had this scuba diving class called the Bubble Makers or something. Tiny bubbles, something like that. And it's such a random thing, but it's a reference that I know he understands. Even though we didn't experience together even things like a lot of the kids and even the adults, but we get very close to the locals and they've known us both growing up individually and have watched us go from little kids to the adults to the insane adults that we are now. But probably would have never expected that Lola from New York, the little chunky cheek girl in her bikini, tanned and all, would be dating this boy from Switzerland, pale and tall. Yes. So we met on vacation. Vacation. Guys, I have adhd. Like, actually, give me a break.
- [17:57]
A
You've diagnosed yourself with three psychiatric conditions in this podcast. Yes, yes, yes.
- [18:02]
B
So we met. We met on vacation. And it's actually really funny because I'm saying this, I assume, I know that he wouldn't mind me saying this. It makes the story better, but we do did not like each other when we first met each other. And I always say this, and I said say this to everyone that I meet, that I think the reason we don't find ourselves truly arguing that much is because we kind of got it all out of our systems when we first met each other.
- [18:31]
A
So your invisible string was all tangled.
- [18:33]
B
It was all jumbled, right? It was jumbled around our necks, right? Yes. So we met on vacation and we both went to the same university.
- [18:50]
A
Lo and behold.
- [18:50]
B
Lo and behold.
- [18:51]
A
Didn't know.
- [18:52]
B
Didn't know. He was talking to my cousin and I heard him say something about nyu. And I'd spoken to him. Another invisible string really quickly to add it in there. My best friend Erica met him three years prior when she did a semester in London for a summer school. They went out. She's the reason, actually. Shout out Erica. She's the reason I kind of met him because she went up to him and said, I feel like I've been out with you in London. Did we go to a club? And he's like, yes. And I mean, that didn't start the conversation about nyu. But, you know, she also met him before. Now his best girlfriend, who is my best friend, Alice. Shout out Alice. I'm naming all of everyone else but him.
- [19:41]
A
Alice.
- [19:42]
B
And we'll call him Cass. Alice and Cass, that night that they met. Cheers. We all cheers to a drink to Alice. Some girl that I had no idea who she is. Now fast forward almost six years. She's one of my best friends through Cass. So yeah, we had just so many weird, like, intertwined things and people and all this stuff. And yeah, now we're almost dating for four years, which is insane, but.
- [20:14]
A
And now your parents all travel together.
- [20:16]
B
And now our parents all travel together.
- [20:18]
A
Isn't that wild?
- [20:19]
B
Yes. My mom and dad were able to travel to where he grew up last summer and see, you know, his home, meet his family. They actually met his grandparents, which was so cute. We watched them wake surf. I was trying. Dad. Dad was injured. Mom hates the cold. I was like, this is actually looks so lame of us guys. They're the most athletic and they're amazing at every sport that they do. It's actually stupid, insane.
- [20:54]
A
It's like the James Bond family. It is like if you could picture a family of James Bond Bonds where every single person is James Bond. Like his mother is James Bond and his dad is James Bond. He's James Bond. His sister's James Bond. They're all Bonds.
- [21:08]
B
They're all insane. I remember we went. I grew up skiing to a certain extent.
- [21:12]
A
We'd go off, you're an amazing skier. I'm not going to have you on your ski.
- [21:16]
B
Please, can you, can you just actually let me. We grew up going skiing, right? But two weeks out of the year is not that much. And when you live in the UK or Europe, it's so much easier to get to a mountain on the weekends because sometimes a 45 minute drive in a car and it's beautiful. And back to the James Bond thing is because when I went skiing with them for the first time, I remember Cass saying, have you ever skied before? And I was like, oh, I ski. And I got on that mountain and I was like, holy shit. They were. I was holding my breath, holding my breath. And it's the way they ski is like what you see in the movies. And it's like the people that I would see when we were in Colorado, I remember there was the kids that were in ski school and from a young age they were so insane because they ski like go to the Olympics and they're amazing. And I was like, oh my God, I'm dating one of these kids I'm dating and his sister, also my best friend as well. The most insane skier. It's really, it's strange.
- [22:23]
A
But you're an incredible skier. Thank you. Well, to be clear, we'll.
- [22:27]
B
We'll let you. We're gonna. No.
- [22:28]
A
She's in.
- [22:29]
B
No, because if I keep on saying this and she's gonna always end it on. But you're an incredible scare, so we'll let you end it on that.
- [22:35]
A
Okay. Thank you.
- [22:38]
B
So, wait, did I answer any question that you asked?
- [22:40]
A
Yeah. So. So. Do you think the two of you have a future together or is he a one oner and doneer now that we've talked about him on the pod, Struggling to see up close. Make it visible with Viz.

So do you think the two of you have a future together or is he a oner and doner now that we've talked about him on the podcast?
- [24:32]
C
How big is that invisible string?
- [24:36]
B
Does it have a diamond at the.
- [24:37]
A
Bottom of the thing? Is it a string of diamonds?
- [24:41]
B
My whole thing is my friend said this to me. I love how I'm bringing every single one of my friends. I'm gonna rephrase kind of what she said because this is her story. I'm not gonna tell it, but sometimes when you think about the future so much, it's because you feel like that present moment with someone slipping away. And I think with my boyfriend and I, we're so present.
- [25:06]
A
You're very simple, Chudher.
- [25:09]
B
And was that Spanish?
- [25:11]
A
It's Italian. Simpatico.
- [25:13]
B
Oh. So, of course. And we always say we would never date to break up. That's weird. I would only date someone to see a future with them. So I guess to answer your question is I 1000% see a future. And I think the best part about it is that we don't even have to think about it because we're so comfortable and certain with each other that it doesn't really play on our minds that much. It's not like a. Oh, my God. But like, what if. Is this gonna. It's more just like. This would be really cool if one day when this happens. That would be really cool. But, yes.
- [25:51]
A
Plus, you have your pushy mothers in the background talking about all things, all the time.
- [25:57]
B
I know. It's so funny. I'm obsessed.
- [26:00]
A
So tell me about your new music. When will you release your ep? I suggested several titles for the ep.
- [26:07]
B
One of being unreleased.
- [26:09]
A
Unreleased or in second, contention is never released. In third, contention would be waiting to be released.
- [26:19]
B
Yes. There's not a set date, but I've been working a lot in London on it. It's kind of a new vibe from my other songs that I've released. But, yeah, I am really excited. I'll probably say more about it when it actually is about to come out. And let me just say one thing to all the listeners, please, please, please send it to your children, Please.
- [26:59]
D
You think we have only grannies listening to this?
- [27:01]
B
You keep saying, I don't. But I go on my demograph. I go on my analytics. Analytics don't lie. It's not pulled out of thin air. And I need the 14 to 20 range to be bumped the up.
- [27:17]
A
Yeah, but they don't have any money. Their mothers are paying for everything, so.
- [27:21]
B
Well, listen to my music with your children.
- [27:24]
C
Sure. But you're mad that those people are there. You want everybody there.
- [27:27]
B
No, Exactly. I want everyone there. To all my fans and supporters, I absolutely adore you. I'm not ageist. I want everyone there. But get your daughters listening to it. It's gonna be fun. And your sons. I can't give any sample right now. I'm currently on vocal rest.
- [27:49]
A
You do sound like you have a cold. You have a cold.
- [27:51]
B
I'm getting over the London Hay Fever, as they call it.
- [27:55]
D
But you guys have, like, a big thing tomorrow, right? That's why Lola's in town for this.
- [27:59]
A
Lola's in town for this. What's going on?
- [28:01]
B
So tomorrow we have a People magazine photo shoot. I believe it's the beautiful people edit. Wow.
- [28:11]
A
I squeaked in there. On her coattails. On her coattails and squeaked in there.
- [28:16]
B
We're doing, I guess a I don't know what to call it segment. It's a mother, daughter, daughter photo shoot. But it's also funny because it's. The concept is what's mine is yours, where you basically switch clothing with your mom and vice versa. And again, to those listening and not watching all of you guys. My mother and I are very different sizes, and I don't know why anyone would think that we could fit in to virtually anything of each other's.
- [28:47]
A
What are you saying? Are you suggesting that I am not well endowed? Is that what you're suggesting?
- [28:54]
B
No, I'm suggesting that you're teeny tiny.
- [28:56]
A
And Are you suggesting that I don't have a good bosom? Because I heard we were doing brush bra swaps.
- [29:03]
B
Yes. It's gonna get so rated R. It's.
- [29:07]
A
Gonna be very radar.
- [29:08]
B
Her bra swap with me. Just so you're not gonna put this in there, but her bra swap with me would be my areola bra swap.
- [29:14]
D
That's the title of the episode.
- [29:15]
A
Ariela braswap is the title of the episode Ariela braswap and your EP that you should release. That's actually. That is a great name for the ep Ariela braswap. Will you add the most excitement to the family? Would you agree with. I mean, when you come home, the house is alive.
- [29:37]
B
I think Michael adds a lot of excitement.
- [29:41]
A
Michael adds a lot. Michael is very fun.
- [29:43]
B
And Joaquin adds a lot of excitement in a different way.
- [29:45]
A
Yes. Yes. He adds a lot of fire and pepper.
- [29:49]
B
I think we're all different and I think I just bring a different energy.
- [29:54]
A
Was it hard being wedged in between two boys?
- [29:59]
B
I actually. I don't think so. Now, looking back at it, I don't ever think that I would want it any other way. I know a lot of people with sisters. That seems great. I can't really imagine myself with a sister now. When I was growing up, I feel like all I wanted was a sister. But now I can't imagine myself without brothers and with a sister in our family.
- [30:22]
A
Okay, if our family was a horror movie, okay, who is running to investigate the strange noise? Who's running out of the house? Give me the dynamic.
- [30:34]
B
Okay?
- [30:35]
A
I know what you're doing.
- [30:35]
B
You know what I'm saying?
- [30:36]
A
I know what you're doing. I know what you're doing.
- [30:38]
B
Just to get me to. We'll get the easiest one over and Done with. I always say that if something like this happens, if someone enters a building, if there's a tsunami, an earthquake, I am finding any hard surface that I can, banging my head against it multiple times and knocking myself out. So I will put myself as the.
- [30:58]
A
One that smashes themself in the head to avoid being murdered.
- [31:03]
B
Yes. But then it's also tricky. Cause I also love, like, investigating things.
- [31:08]
A
Yes, you like to investigate.
- [31:10]
B
Well, I'll never forget this. When we were in the Hamptons, the alarm went off, as it always does, because there was rain or a spider. Something had happened.
- [31:20]
A
Spiderweb.
- [31:21]
B
Spiderweb. And you and I come out because I was obviously freaking out. I assumed after multiple times, it would be one of the two options. Rain or spider web. And so we come out and we see Michael Consuelos with his skull bejeweled cane, his tank top and his pajama shorts pulled up to his belly button, like, holding it, like he was about to knock someone out. So I think Michael and Dad would be Jesus. Now, this is hard because now we have Joaquin. Back then, I would have said Joaquin would have been.
- [31:57]
A
Would have.
- [31:57]
B
He would have hit under the other. Under the covers. Now Joaquin.
- [32:01]
A
And Joaquin's like, a beast now. I don't think people really understand.
- [32:04]
B
People understand how lethal. Yes, he's lethal.
- [32:07]
A
Four years at University of Michigan. Wrestling will do that to a kid. And this was your question? Yeah.
- [32:14]
D
Who's running out of the house?
- [32:15]
B
Who's running out of the house? Okay.
- [32:17]
D
And leaving everybody else for dead.
- [32:19]
B
Oh, I would never want to put myself in this. Like, make myself seem like I would do this. But I just fear that me knocking myself out is kind of equivalent to me running out of the house. Like, it's not doing anything for anyone. So.
- [32:35]
A
So you're the one who's the one staying and fighting the monster.
- [32:39]
B
You and dad, for sure. But then Michael and Joaquin are also gonna get in there.
- [32:44]
A
I think Michael would be out the door behind him with his cane.
- [32:47]
B
With his.
- [32:47]
A
Michael. Mom, with his cane.
- [32:49]
B
He cannot say that. The whole point of him with the cane is he was the one. He was out there before. We were trying to find what was going on.
- [32:59]
A
Well, it was a spider. A spider had spun a web and tripped the alarm. Jan, this is your question. Oh, yeah.
- [33:05]
D
Is there a family group tax?
- [33:06]
B
There is.
- [33:07]
D
There is a family grant test.
- [33:08]
A
What is it called? It's called Faminit.
- [33:11]
B
And we're so embarrassed by that name that mom and dad came up with that. Michael, Joaquin and I have a Group chat called family, isn't it?
- [33:19]
D
So you guys have a side group chat that you can talk about them on.
- [33:22]
B
We have a side group chat. I have a group chat with mom and dad and a group chat with Michael and Joaquin. And then we all have a group chat together.
- [33:28]
A
And then so just for reference, we all have the fam, innit Group chat.
- [33:32]
B
I hate the way you're saying it.
- [33:34]
A
That's what it's called. Fam, innit group. We were really into Top Boy, the TV show, and we just got into saying femme.
- [33:42]
B
I never saw it, but they.
- [33:43]
A
Yeah, if you watch it once, you'll be saying fem in it too. Anyway, so fem innit is our group text. But then on the side, Lola, Mark, and I have a side group text. Michael, Mark, and I have a side group text. Joaquin, Mark, and I have a side group text. Lola and I have a side side group text.
- [34:04]
B
That's not a side side group text. Because that's not a group. It's just us messing each other. What? That's what I'm saying.
- [34:09]
A
But then we'll. We sometimes, like, we'll text each other while the group text is happening about certain things being said in the group text. And then once in a while, we will leave the chat.
- [34:24]
C
Ouch.
- [34:25]
B
I put my phone on do not disturb. So I actually don't see a lot of the messages. I'm also going to bed way before them, so sometimes I'll wake up to just, like, random YouTube videos that we definitely should watch. You guys need to watch this. Watch this. A random photo of us when we were kids.
- [34:45]
D
Last message on the group text.
- [34:46]
A
I'm reading it right now. I just pulled it up. Ready? It's from Michael Consuelos. It says, you guys want to hear a fun fact I learned today? The theme song of White Lotus uses a famous music sequence used in a lot of shows and movies to forewarn impending disaster or death.
- [35:09]
B
Period.
- [35:09]
C
Who left the chat after that one?
- [35:11]
A
Nobody left the chat, but nobody responded to it either. I just think that's funny.
- [35:16]
B
Oh, that makes me sad.
- [35:17]
C
Just write him back.
- [35:18]
B
Let's write him back right now.
- [35:19]
D
I have another question for you guys.
- [35:21]
B
Yes.
- [35:22]
D
So Kelly and I talk about this a lot because my kids are getting older and we actually just talked about this with Ms. Obama. But, like, the shift from going from being this is your mom to, like, this is my friend, and the conversations changing. Like, how was that for you guys?
- [35:38]
B
For me, I think when I went to university my first year, I was not happy at all. And also it's so hard because your other friends that you grew up with in high school are also going through the same thing. They're going to. They're at a new school for the first time and you don't really want to maybe bother them. And a lot of them made great choices and went to much more fun school. So we're probably actually having a good time. And my friends at nyu, I didn't really know as well yet because I just started, but I was going through a bit of a thing and I really felt like the only people I could speak to were my parents. Like most cases when you're growing up, your parents always like, I'm just telling you, like, when you're older, you're gonna wish you listened to me. And there's so many times in my life where I'm now like, oh my God, I completely get it. And I probably, if I have children, when I have children one day I'll probably say the same thing to them and they'll tell me to F off. No, I'm kidding.
- [36:39]
A
They'll say it with a British accent.
- [36:41]
B
Yeah, no, but you know, and I'll probably. And that will be the cycle. But maybe you guys would think it's different. That's when I started really feeling like I could, like, I actually want, I didn't really want anyone else's opinion but my parents. You know that your parents actually in most cases, and it's really sad if this is not the case. But in most cases, your parents actually have your best interests at heart. And also, listen, I think it's not just a kid thing. I think parents have to grow as well. And understand that when your child is an adult now, we can make our own decisions for ourselves and live with them. Live with them. Listen, the shift happens until I do something wrong. And they're like, we're not your friend. I'm your mom. That room is my room. That phone is my phone. That door is my door.
- [37:33]
C
I have two questions.
- [37:34]
B
Yes.
- [37:35]
A
Okay.
- [37:35]
C
And one dovetails into the other.
- [37:37]
A
Okay, I like this.
- [37:39]
C
The first one is, everyone in your family is extremely fit and is in great shape. How do you. How is that important to you? And how do you bring that into your life? And then if you had to pick one meal to have for the rest of your life, what would it be?
- [37:55]
B
Which one should I answer first?
- [37:57]
C
Like health.
- [37:58]
B
Okay.
- [38:05]

- [39:21]
C
I have two questions.
- [39:22]
A
Yes. Okay.
- [39:23]
C
And one dovetails into the other.
- [39:25]
A
Okay, I like this.
- [39:27]
C
The first one is, everyone in your family is extremely fit and is in great shape. How do you, how is that important to you and how do you bring that into your life? And then if you had to pick one meal to have for the rest of your life, what would it be?
- [39:43]
B
Which one should I answer first?
- [39:45]
C
Like health?
- [39:46]
B
Okay. Well, I think first of all, when you have a lot of fit people around you and you're not per se, the fittest, it's very, it can be very. What's the word? Like stressful. Stressful. And not maybe alienating as well. Stressful. Alienating. It can, you know, make your, you less confident and it, you almost, it feels like you don't know where to start really, because you're already surrounded by so many like, correct answers. And I, you know, I grew up in a household with very healthy food. We were a very clean eating family, which is great. And there was a lot of sport and we were required. And now I'm like, that was amazing that we were put into sport at such a young age. But when you're 14 and you're going through puberty and you start to gain weight and, you know, it can feel like a bit defeating if you are not really up to like a specific standard that everyone in your family is based off of. Like, I didn't feel that I wanted to run or do a sport. I did it and I was forced into it and I'm happy I was now, but I couldn't see how like Michael would have volunteered to run track and field and how you Would like go to a workout like how you wanted to go? I just wasn't in that headspace. In general, it's a very awkward time for girls and a lot of changes are happening to your body. And on top of that, you also have like boys that are going through puberty and everyone's hormonal and bitchy and weird.
- [41:30]
A
When you say forced into sports. I don't remember forcing you into sports. I remember your friends all playing sports and you wanting to play sports too. Because then if you were forced into sport, I was forced into sitting in the bleachers freezing my ass off. No, but you know what I mean. Stupid field hockey games and, and no.
- [41:50]
B
But what parent is going to want their child to sit around all day?
- [41:54]
D
Like, encouraged you?
- [41:56]
B
Yeah, encouraged. Encouraged, sure, that's fine. That's a great word to use. But now being in London and you know, I am doing like Pilates and training and a lot of people I work with are saying, oh, did you do gymnastics as a kid? Did you. What sports did you do? Oh, I, I did horseback riding, I did lacrosse. I did all this stuff. Like, I can really. You have like a base level of like strength and fitness, which I'm really grateful to now. And now fitness is a huge part of my life. I love going to the gym, which I could never imagine myself saying that even three years ago. I love going to the gym. And so now I'm like, wow, I'm so glad that I had my parents the whole time talking about the importance of health and fitness and nutrition.
- [42:48]
A
I still want to know what sport I forced you into.
- [42:51]
D
I want to say something. Okay. Because I'm an outsider. We're gonna get to the meal.
- [42:56]
A
Wait a minute.
- [42:56]
D
You're gonna go, But I'm gonna just say something as an outsider.
- [42:59]
A
Okay.
- [43:00]
D
I know how you felt and I'm.
- [43:02]
A
I hear you out.
- [43:03]
D
You felt this way. Hormonal, all of it. I'm gonna tell you as an outsider, you were always a stunning, beautiful girl.
- [43:09]
B
Oh, thank you.
- [43:10]
A
It's true though.
- [43:12]
D
It's true.
- [43:12]
B
Thank you.
- [43:13]
C
Always.
- [43:13]
D
People feel the way they feel, but you were always a beautiful.
- [43:17]
A
Thank you. Always.
- [43:18]
B
That's very kind.
- [43:19]
A
I can't say that, cuz she's ready to walk out.
- [43:21]
B
And I'm, I'm not actually going to walk out.
- [43:24]
A
Still curious what sport I forced you into?
- [43:27]
D
What food?
- [43:28]
A
Okay, wait.
- [43:28]
C
What is a meal for the rest of your life? What is it? And can I sit next to you?
- [43:34]
B
Can I choose only one?
- [43:36]
C
Just.
- [43:36]
A
Yeah, give us, give us your final meal.
- [43:38]
C
The meal. The. The like.
- [43:39]
B
Oh, like a appetizer entrepreneur. Okay. All right, you want to start?
- [43:45]
A
Are we at a restaurant or where are we?
- [43:47]
B
We're at a restaurant that's serving every type of food I want.
- [43:51]
C
Okay, let's go.
- [43:52]
B
Let's get some oysters going.
- [43:53]
A
Oh, okay.
- [43:55]
B
Let's get some crispy tuna rice. Crispy rice tuna with some soy sauce. Let's get some arancini truffle arancini balls. Let's get some ricotta on sourdough with some honey and lavender on it.
- [44:18]
A
So now we're at Laconda Verde.
- [44:20]
B
I was thinking Laconda Verde.
- [44:21]
A
We're moving downtown. Yes.
- [44:23]
B
A basil leaf. Let's do. Okay, wait, what else? I'll do one more appetizer starter.
- [44:32]
C
Let's do like, a frito misto.
- [44:36]
A
Frito misto is nice.
- [44:43]
B
A clam chowder and a caviar on a potato in a baked potato, but many styles, so we can make it appetizer delicious.
- [44:55]
C
Lola, I'm into those apps.
- [44:56]
A
Okay.
- [44:57]
B
Are you into those apps?
- [44:57]
A
Okay, now let's go to those. Then let's do pasta course. Is there a pasta course?
- [45:02]
B
Okay, let's think like a ragu type of pasta, maybe. Ooh, maybe a carbonara. Oh, cacio pepe. Yes, that's good. We'll do that. We'll do cacio E. We have to do like, a sashimi. Yeah, like, let's do like five. Like five salmon, five tuna, and then rock shrimp wasabi. Great.
- [45:23]
A
Rock shrimp tempura. Mm.
- [45:27]
B
My mouth is watering. I answered it, right?
- [45:29]
C
Yeah.
- [45:30]
A
What's your entree? Did you pick an entree?
- [45:32]
B
Like, an amazing smash burger? Like, the best smash burger that anyone would have ever had.
- [45:39]
A
Would you have cheese on it?
- [45:40]
C
Yes.
- [45:41]
A
Okay.
- [45:42]
B
And I'd have onions, and I'd have pickles, and I'd have it smashed, and there'd be brioche bun. And I literally cannot believe that we're going from the conversation of me feeling, like, down about myself when I was.
- [45:56]
A
14.
- [45:58]
B
And then when I was would do as a dessert. As one of my desserts is a crepe with Nutella in it. Banana, strawberry. But the. The crepe itself needs to be thin so I can just bite right into it. That was my favorite question.
- [46:18]
C
You're welcome.
- [46:19]
D
Now that you've crossed over into that friend relationship, if you just met your mom normally, would you two be friends?
- [46:26]
B
Yes. She always says we wouldn't be friends, and I think that's just self deprecation.
- [46:31]
A
No, I said in high school, you would Not.
- [46:34]
B
I would have been your friend.
- [46:35]
A
No, because you were like a really cool.
- [46:37]
B
No, I really wasn't.
- [46:38]
A
That wasn't.
- [46:39]
B
No, not at all. And I honestly hope that I was nice to everyone. We absolutely were friends. And we 100 would have been friends if we didn't know each other.
- [46:46]
A
I know you're my daughter, but I love when you walk into a room. The room gets electric. People get so excited to see you.
- [46:53]
B
That's how I feel about you.
- [46:54]
A
No, but nobody even notices me. But it's like very exciting when you walk into a room.
- [46:59]
B
That's how I feel about you. And I think that together, you and I would do real damage.
- [47:03]
A
Do you have one family vacation that was the most memorable or one that stood out in a good way or a bad way? Like, what's one family vacation? Was it when Kyle pantsed you at the airport?
- [47:16]
D
What is that story?
- [47:18]
C
Are we allowed to tell that story?
- [47:19]
B
Of course.
- [47:20]
C
So, Kyle, a grown adult man.
- [47:24]
A
Preface this to our podcast.
- [47:26]
C
Podcast. Listen, Kyle, my partner, who is a grown adult man of 24 years.
- [47:32]
A
Four years.
- [47:32]
C
When he's around Lola Consuelos, he turns into a 13 year old girl.
- [47:42]
B
And we both turn into demons.
- [47:45]
C
Said 13 year olds were walking. We were. We're on the way to Croatia. Croatia. And we're at the airport. We're at jfk. We're at the airport and we're entering the Delta terminal. And Lola is just going at Kyle the entire time, like at him. And he's just sitting there and he's getting. He's just taking it.
- [48:02]
B
He's taking it.
- [48:03]
C
He's taking it. He's like, I'm just gonna take it. I'm not gonna start with plenty of time on this trip to go at each other.
- [48:08]
B
But then I went. Then I did something a bit, I think. I don't know.
- [48:11]
C
Oh, I. I'm gonna say it.
- [48:12]
B
Yeah, say it.
- [48:13]
C
Who cares? So Lola said something about Kyle's hairline.
- [48:18]
B
Was it about his hairline or was it about his stomach?
- [48:21]
C
I thought it was the hair.
- [48:23]
B
Maybe I would have never.
- [48:25]
C
I thought it was hairline. At which point we're now standing in the middle of like the check in.
- [48:29]
B
We're standing in an air. No one is understand, guys, we're in jfk.
- [48:34]
A
We're in jfk, Delta terminal.
- [48:36]
B
By the way, there's a full family, full on family behind us. There's people all around. People all around.
- [48:42]
C
And what happened?
- [48:43]
B
Lola And I got what I deserved. Kyle took it so much that he pantsed me. And not only did my sweatpants come down? My underwear as well?
- [48:56]
C
And Lola, you would think immediately would reach the house, pull it up. Lola stood there stunned for what felt like 10 minutes, looking around to see.
- [49:06]
B
Who saw before I pulled it.

Naked from the waist down, looking left and right to see who saw what just happened.

B
I wish we had a security camera.
- [49:17]
C
Torches, and we leave and we're getting on the plane. I said, lola, you know there's security footage of you being banned in the Delta terminal.
- [49:24]
B
Oh, my God, that was so funny.
- [49:27]
A
That was amazing. Is there any piece of advice that I gave you when you were young that you thought was such bullshit, and then you were like, oh, my God, my mom was right.
- [49:39]
B
You gave me this piece of advice. It's meaningful, but you've given me so many meaningful pieces of advice, one of them being, don't wear leggings as pants. That was amazing.
- [49:50]
A
I, I, by the way, she's telling me this as I'm wearing leggings as pants. But I did, I worked out. That's why.
- [49:59]
B
Well, you mean the basics of just being nice and respectful and kind, I think has definitely gotten me far. It's been really valuable. And I forget that a lot of people don't get that foundational advice. That should be, like, a baseline of respect. Like, some people don't have that, which, like, blows my mind. But it's amazing that you guys raised the boys and I so amazingly, you did give me a piece of advice once. I don't know if I can say it, but I remember I was really flustered over something a few, like, years ago, years ago, and you were like, I'm telling you, when you stop giving that flusterness attention, it will all fall into place. And I stopped giving that, that thing in my head attention. And lo and behold, everything fell into place. But also, most things that you've always said, you'll thank me when I'm older are things that I should probably say thank you for now, because I definitely do thank you for them. But I don't want to say that too soon, because there are still things that, like, you and dad might be like, no, trust me. And I'm like, no, no, no. Trust me, though, but trust me. Well, I hope you guys were happy having your most cal.

A
No, no, no. But let me just say, I raised the best daughter and you are an amazing friend. You are a great person. You are truly like a lovely, lovely human being. And you work so hard. I'm so proud of this. The way you have just sort of flown. You've really, like, flown. You've soared. And you know, as. As much as you keep us at bay with what you do career wise, because we don't really understand what you do. And. And I get it. The music industry has, like, changed so much from when we were young and we understood things, but just the way you handle everything and the way you work so hard and I see you grinding all the time. And for me, it's like such a point of pride to know that I have, like, this hardworking, intelligent, beautiful, and just extraordinary, extraordinarily kind person that I raised. Makes me feel very gratified. Thank you. And you're a hell of a podcast guest.

LL Bean flannel has been part of the holidays for over a century. Cozy, reliable and made to last. It's the shirt you wear when you pick out your tree and when you're home relaxing with a warm cup of tea. And it's the one you wear in the family photo, where somehow everyone's matching without even trying. For me, nothing captures that classic holiday feel like a flannel. It's such an easy way to look instantly festive. Go check out L.L. bean Flannel. Invited to the holidays since 1912.
