Right, Hey, 4 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 2: y'all's up. 5 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 1: It's Laura and Rosa and this is the latest with 6 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,480 Speaker 1: laurynl Rosa. This is your daily tag on all things 7 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:21,160 Speaker 1: pop culture, entertainment, news, and all of the conversations. 8 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:21,279 Speaker 2: That shake the room. 9 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,760 Speaker 1: Baby checking in behind the scenes of the grind, which 10 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 1: is where we get on in behind scenes of just 11 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: kind of like the day to day's happening was not 12 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: happening all of the things, y'all. Today was such a 13 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 1: day at work. I'm feeling so unsure of myself. Oh, 14 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 1: I just had to get that out. I recorded a 15 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: video coming here and this, you know what's so crazy. 16 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 2: It's like. 17 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: It's not sure I'm as sure of my capabilities. I 18 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: think I'm trying to figure out like when missteps happened, 19 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out. 20 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 2: Like what the root causes, Like what is it? 21 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: What's happening within my mind and in my brain and 22 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: are making me feel like I'm not owning my space 23 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,759 Speaker 1: to what it I should be. I think we talked 24 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: a little bit about that, you know before a few 25 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: days ago when we checked it behind the scenes of 26 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: the ground, and that's just been like a constant thing 27 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,680 Speaker 1: for me this week and a little bit of last 28 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,680 Speaker 1: week as well too. I'd be so honest with y'all. 29 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,680 Speaker 1: I get on here and just like treat y'all like 30 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,039 Speaker 1: y'all are like my diary or something. So low riders 31 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: don't ever say I don't give y'all nothing, because I'd 32 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: be giving y'all all the inside scoop. But yeah, I 33 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: think it's just I don't know, there's just been a 34 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 1: I mean, there is an added pressure. Not really though, 35 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 1: but I guess so ish. I think that's a self 36 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: proclamation though, Like I think when things start to feel 37 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: like they're at a pressure, they only are if you 38 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: treat life or whatever the situation is like, there is 39 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: added pressure. So I don't even want to give into 40 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: that because that's not what I'm feeling. Maybe it's a 41 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: it's not overwhelming. 42 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 2: I don't know, y'all. Can you can't describe it, can't 43 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 2: explain it. But I'm just off my pivot a little bit. 44 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: I'm aware though, as you guys see, because I'm telling 45 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: you guys so trying to just hone in on what 46 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 1: it is. One of the things that I did this 47 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: week that I prioritize this week was organization. And I 48 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: think organization didn't really matter as much when I was 49 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 1: coming from a place where like, I don't know, it. 50 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 2: Just not even that organization. 51 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 1: It's not that it didn't matter, Organization just wasn't It's 52 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 1: never been a priority for me. Like I've always thought 53 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 1: it's cool. I'm good because I can operate in chaos. 54 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: And I do think now that I am caring more 55 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: about when I'm putting out into the world, how I'm 56 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: putting it out with the conversations I'm having are because 57 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: you know, I think when your name is on the line, 58 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: there's just a lot more on the line. 59 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 2: Organization is just like so much. It means so much to. 60 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: Me because the more organized I am, I think, the 61 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,519 Speaker 1: better I'm able to understand the what, the why, and 62 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: the relevancy behind anything I'm talking about. But also like 63 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: even if I'm on an island strained it by myself, 64 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: and I don't mean physically, I mean like just mentally, right, Like, 65 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: if I'm on this island all alone and I have 66 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: to debate my way out of anything, I always think 67 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 1: about this, Like if I'm in a courtroom and I'm 68 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: the only person that believes that this person is innocent 69 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: in this courtroom, the only thing that is going to 70 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 1: save me is factual information, but not just that, the 71 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: organization of it and how it's presented. So I think 72 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: that's one of the things behind the scenes of the 73 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: grind that like I'm really trying to sharpen. I've never 74 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: really been a person that has been the most organized. 75 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: I think most leaders that are creators have a central 76 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: organization because you're delegating and stuff like that. But I 77 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: think there with more responsibility just comes heavy as the 78 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: head that words the crown. Like the more responsible, the 79 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: more responsibility requires a different level of you. So I 80 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: don't know if maybe like that's what's happening, Like I'm 81 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: being pushed to like this next level of like okay, delegate, Okay, 82 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: open your mouth when things are not right, Okay the girl, 83 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: Like I think that's where I'm being pushed to. So 84 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: today has been like a tug of war for me, 85 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 1: just like mentally, because it's a battle when. 86 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 2: Like you naturally like eat, sleep. 87 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: And breathe certain things and then things are not a 88 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 1: hundred things are not moving out one hundred percent as 89 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: if you do that, like, and that's what like freaks 90 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: me out about this, this whole you know, feeling of. 91 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 2: Like unsure of myself. 92 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: I've never been a person that's ever been unsure about 93 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: myself and unsure about myself in anything. So so it's 94 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: two things. It's the fact that I'm not in a 95 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: new space, Like it's not like I'm walking into a 96 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: new career path and I'm having to figure out do 97 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: I like it here? Why am I even here? How 98 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 1: does my you know, skill set, my capability even progress 99 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: me in the space that I am in? That is 100 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: not it, because this is what I've been doing. I've 101 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 1: in a new space physically, but this is the lane 102 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,919 Speaker 1: of things that I've been doing for some time. So 103 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: I'm like, what the heck, Like what's happening? Like why 104 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: is my ag game off? 105 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 2: Like what is going on? 106 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 1: And then secondly, it's you know, feeling unsure about yourself 107 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: is just a very it's a very hard concept to 108 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: grassom you've never been through that, But I try to. 109 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: Like one of the things I told myself today was 110 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: that I'm not giving that too much light, Like I'm 111 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: gonna sit in the feeling of how I feel today, 112 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about it. I'm gonna get it out, 113 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: and once I do that, you not getting much else 114 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: from me on that whatsoever, because I think it's I 115 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,359 Speaker 1: feel like the feeling of being unsure lends to like 116 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 1: the feeling of like faith. And for me, whenever I 117 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: don't know what's about to happen in one of these 118 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 1: like nightmare spots in life where you can't control what's 119 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: going on, and like, you know, things just feel so 120 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: heavy whatever. Not like workwise, but just like in life 121 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: in general, Like whenever I'm in like a very crazy, 122 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: weird space where like you really can't control much of anything. 123 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 2: The only thing that I control. 124 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: Is the amount of faith that I have in God 125 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: to like just allow me to do what I naturally 126 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 1: do in situations we talked the other day. If you 127 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,919 Speaker 1: missed that podcast episode, make sure you go back and 128 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: listen to it. But in situations I always am trusting 129 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: God that I will figure it out, and I do 130 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: in situations where I've learned that it is not my 131 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 1: job to figure things out. I can't solve everyone's issues. 132 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,919 Speaker 1: I can't be you know, like I can't be the 133 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 1: crutch for everybody, like I just can't. I trust God, 134 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: and I have faith in God to give me that 135 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: like intuition of like no, Lauren is you gotta say no, No, Lauren, 136 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: you gotta put your foot down. No Lauren is see something, 137 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: say something, you know what I mean. So my faith 138 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: is like unshaken. But I just need to apply that 139 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: to all aspects of my life right now, Like and 140 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: maybe that's it too, Like I haven't had a lot 141 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: of time to just kind of like sit down in 142 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: the spirit, like just really sit down have some conversations 143 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: with God. I don't even think I need to have 144 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: conversations with God. I think I need to be quiet 145 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: and listen. So I think that's it. I think that, 146 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: you know, that is kind of you know, this uncertainty 147 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: and this feeling that I've been feeling. It's a very 148 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: new feeling for me. I've never experienced this type of 149 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: feeling in my life. But I'm also although I'm not 150 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: in a new career field, I'm physically in a new 151 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: space and I'm physically at a different point in my life, 152 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: in different level of my life. So you know, maybe, hey, 153 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: that's that's maybe that is what it is. Like maybe 154 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: it's it's you know, it's not a it's not a 155 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: new like I didn't wake up and go decide to 156 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: become a freaking Dennist And I'm like, girl, what are 157 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: you doing here?

It makes 172 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: you like, really, this is what I'm talking about on 173 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: the other entity of my life, Like I thought I 174 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 1: had it all figure out as far as like you know, 175 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: how this whole thing of like life and being an 176 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: adult and grown up. 177 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 2: This works is grown up. This's a word. No, grown up, 178 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 2: this is not a word. But I thought I had 179 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 2: it all figured out. 180 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 1: And then you know, you enter new levels of your 181 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: life and it's like, no, that this new level requires 182 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: a different version of you. You cannot use the old 183 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: version of yourself, the old corners that you were cutting. 184 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 2: You know, you can't do it. You just can't. 185 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: So I really want to make sure that one year 186 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: is like, you know, a thing. But I say all 187 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: that to say within this year, within the podcast about 188 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: to be one years old, I think about just all 189 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 1: of the things that we've been through here together on 190 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: the podcast. That sounds weird because I'm sitting here talking 191 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,959 Speaker 1: to y'all and I can't see anybody. That still freaks 192 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 1: me out, too, Like that still freaks me out that 193 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: I can't see none of the low riders, but y'all 194 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: can see and hear me. But I know y'all out 195 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: there though, because we be talking on Twitter, we'll be 196 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 1: talking on Instagram, all that stuff. 197 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 2: When I se yall in person, we talk about the podcast. 198 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 2: But yeah, I just. 199 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 1: There's maybe it's a transition period and we've been through 200 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,559 Speaker 1: it together, so you guys know from the very beginning. 201 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 1: But what I'm realizing as this podcast it's a year, 202 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: and you know, this time has partaken. I think the 203 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: biggest thing is new levels require like new versions of yourself. 204 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 2: So I think that's what I'm walking into right now. 205 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 2: And I don't know. 206 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 1: Maybe I was fighting that a little bit and just 207 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,319 Speaker 1: thinking I can hindle everything and I got it, and 208 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, I'm brown girl grinding like I 209 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: got it. No, not at all, So readjusting some things, 210 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: just you know, personally, but also professionally in the way. 211 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 2: That I do, you know, things day to day. 212 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: I think that's the reoccurring lesson that I've been getting 213 00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 1: over this last like five days. And maybe I just 214 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: REALI that in talking it out, and that's why I 215 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,839 Speaker 1: be talking to y'all even though I can't see or 216 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: hear you guys. 217 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 2: You help me. 218 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: All right, y'all, let's get on into the latest. Enough 219 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:13,959 Speaker 1: about my problems that's getting to somebody else's. So NBA 220 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: Young Boy sat down with Complex. He sat down with 221 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: Jordan Roles. Now, I just want to say shout out 222 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: to Jordan Rolls over a Complex because NBA Young Boy is. 223 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 2: Not an easy interview okay. 224 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: And I don't mean he's not an easy interview because 225 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: like he was rude, He just doesn't really say much. 226 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 1: And the little bit that you do get out of him, 227 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 1: I think that there is I mean with any interview. 228 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 1: I think of interviews like playing spades. There is like 229 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 1: such a dance to the conversation between you and another person. 230 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 2: It's really your dance when you do it with multiple people. 231 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 1: So when it's like you and a team interviewing someone, 232 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,199 Speaker 1: but when it's just you in that person, the dance 233 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: is a lot different. Because if I'm playing spades and 234 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: I have a team member, my team member knows you 235 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,839 Speaker 1: know all right, follow suit, know what I'm cutting, You 236 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, like you kind of know where 237 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: to go. We watching the board, We know how to 238 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: play together. But when you're interviewing somebody, y'all aren't prepping together. 239 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: So that person, you know, it's not like it's a 240 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 1: like a malicious battle in an interview whatsoever. 241 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,559 Speaker 2: And this interview didn't feel like that either. Jordan Roads 242 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,559 Speaker 2: is an amazing job, but. 243 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: That person's coming from a whole different place in mental space, 244 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: with a whole different objective than you are. So trying 245 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: to figure out the best way to meet in the 246 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: middle and have that conversation. Only a great to do it, 247 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 1: and Jordan Rolls I've been watching him on Complex. I 248 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: feel like Complex is doing a good job of building 249 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 1: him as talent Speedy Mormon, who, like you know, is 250 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: the face of Complex and has been for a long time. 251 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 1: Is I feel like I was telling a friend this. 252 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: I feel like Speedy is kind of like they're like, 253 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: he's out of here. 254 00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 2: He's doing the bigger. 255 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 1: Interviews, He's traveling for the interviews. You know, he has 256 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: a lot going on, and the brand is smart to 257 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,559 Speaker 1: keep branding him and building three sixty with Speedy in 258 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: the way that they are. But they're also really smart 259 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: in getting a person like Jordan Rose who can be 260 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: a little bit more readily available for all things, for 261 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: all talent, is you know in New York a bit 262 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: more it seems to Speedy. I don't know, it just 263 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,439 Speaker 1: seems like it because Speedy's all over doing his interviews. 264 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,319 Speaker 1: But you know, I'm sure because of the success of 265 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: three sixty with Speedy on Complex, Complex has gotten the 266 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 1: influx of people wanted to host conversations because Speedy's conversations 267 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 1: are so great. Jordan Rolls is in that vein of things, 268 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: and I think Complex was so smart about the branding 269 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: in the way that they chose their talent to lean into. 270 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 1: Because Jordan Rolls isn't three sixty, night and Day from Speedy. 271 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 1: There are two very different people, two very different interview 272 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: styles for sure. Another thing that I about what's smart 273 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: with Complex, Jordan Rose is a lot younger, so you know, 274 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: I think the things that he's able to care about 275 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: or just a little bit different than you know, the 276 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: conversations that Speedy or have it and you need both, 277 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 1: Like Speedy's still young. 278 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 2: I think how old to Speedy. 279 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: If you guys don't know who I'm talking about, I'm like, 280 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: I don't know what rock you live under because here 281 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: at the Latest, like you got to know the people. 282 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: But Speedy Mormon is a correspondent for Complex. He's been 283 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: there for a very very long time. And to be 284 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: honest with you, I feel like Speedy has built Complex's 285 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 1: interview platform to become a space where artists like artists 286 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: and talent you gotta go through Complex Like that is 287 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: a It's like how you got to side at the Directorce Club. 288 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: When you go to New York, you gotta talk to 289 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: Complex when you're rolling something out, whether you're a music artist, 290 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: you know, an actress, actor, whatever the case may be. 291 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: Because Speedy's interviews have been they've done so well and 292 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: they pick up so well for talent. So now Complex 293 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: is developing, you know, this other talent. 294 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 2: And I don't know if Jordan. 295 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: Rolls was on the platform prior to but if he was, 296 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: they're positioning him a lot better now. If he wasn't, 297 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: don't even matter because he is killing it right now. 298 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: I just wanted to show them that love because I 299 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: watched their stuff a lot and it's really really good 300 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 1: to watch. But I also just know how important it 301 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: is the big up the people in the seats that 302 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: are doing the work, especially the people that are on 303 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: their grind and coming up because we all have days, 304 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: Like I told you guys, I was feeling today and 305 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: in these last like honestly, it's been since last week 306 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 1: where you're not always on you know, a hundred, you're 307 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: not always you know, averaging the best numbers from the court, 308 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 1: but you're still doing a great job. So I want 309 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: to make sure.

Okay, 314 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: So I just want to give y'all an example of 315 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 1: him barely talking. 316 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 2: I want you guys to take a listen to to Jordan. 317 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: Rolls asking NBA Young Boy about the massive tour, which 318 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: is the Make America Slimican Tour that NBA Young Boy 319 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: did very successful tour. We'll get into that, and the 320 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: fact that Birdman was there, like every tour stop. 321 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 2: I Birdman talked a lot about the tour. When he 322 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 2: was at verses, he. 323 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: Just kept yelling and kept me yelling and kept me 324 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: yelling about this tour.

Let's look this up. 379 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, so Michael Jackson died in two thousand and nine. 380 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: So on two thousand and nine, I was, I was 381 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,640 Speaker 1: in high school. I graduated from high school in twenty ten. 382 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 1: He died June twenty fifth, two thousand and nine. Right, So, yes, 383 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 1: I was in high school. That problem, that was my 384 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 1: I was my junior year of high school. So it's 385 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: like you, of course, you know Michael Jackson. You understand 386 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 1: the celebrity of Michael Jackson, but I was. It wasn't 387 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 1: like I was like attending Michael Jackson concerts or like 388 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 1: paying enough attention to like really have felt the celebrity 389 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: of Michael Jackson. 390 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 2: So I think an NBA young boy is younger than me. 391 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: NBA young boy, he has to be around Jordan Rose's 392 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 1: age because Jordan Rose, Jordan Rose made a like a 393 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: kind of like a comment about them being around the 394 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,159 Speaker 1: Saint MAT's. Yes, NBA young boy's twenty six years old. Okay, 395 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:54,680 Speaker 1: so if. 396 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 2: I'm thirty four, NBA young boy, it's twenty six years old. Yeah. 397 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,679 Speaker 1: He I'm telling y'all, I've I've got a chance to 398 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: like see it from the TV screen, and I don't 399 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,199 Speaker 1: even really fully understand the impact of Michael Jackson. Not 400 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 1: that I don't understand it, but I just, you know, 401 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 1: how like you have to see some things up close 402 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: and personal to really. 403 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,679 Speaker 2: Like, oh shoot, I ain't get a chance to do that. 404 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 2: So if I haven't gotten a chance to do that, NBA. 405 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 1: Young Boy, it's he wasn't even like yo, he's twenty 406 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: six years old. I think a lot of people in 407 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: his position could have used a question like that in 408 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,160 Speaker 1: a moment like that to lean into the hype, because 409 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 1: he knew it was gonna go viral. I mean, it's 410 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: NBA Young Boy, It's gonna go viral regardless. But he 411 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 1: could use that to lean into the hype, but he didn't. 412 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 1: He answered it in a way that was like smart. 413 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: And I think that people talk about NBA Young Boy 414 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: as if he's this like because I mean they're you know, 415 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: there's the cases and the charges and. 416 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 2: The baby mamas, and you know, the drugs and like 417 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 2: there's a lot of things that be going on over 418 00:20:58,320 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 2: there allegedly, right. 419 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: But I think people have conversations about NBA Young Boy 420 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,679 Speaker 1: as if he's like so unaware of what's happening outside 421 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: of his bubble. And I think sometimes he does lean 422 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 1: into that, and we're gonna get into a moment where 423 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,120 Speaker 1: he did that during this interview, But he's very well 424 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: aware of culturally, his influence, his touch on his people 425 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: and his fans, and just kind of where he sits 426 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 1: in the hierarchy of like the greats because people put 427 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,879 Speaker 1: him literally next to Michael Jackson, which a lot of 428 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 1: people take its to it. Now, let's okay, So I 429 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: told you guys that there was a moment in this 430 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: complex interview with NBA Young Boy in Jordan Roles where 431 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:41,159 Speaker 1: NBA Young Boy plays very like, y'all don't know what 432 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: you're talking about. So Jordan Rose brings up the name 433 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: of the tour, masa make America slime again.

I'm not knocking him for 498 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: obviously being grateful for Trump for doing that, which is, 499 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,880 Speaker 1: in my opinion whatever right. Politically, I don't know him. 500 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 1: I don't know enough. We haven't heard enough, you know, 501 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 1: politically to understand how NBA Young Young Boy would have 502 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 1: arrived at being a Trump supporter if he had not 503 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:45,439 Speaker 1: gotten a party, not enough in recent not enough consistently. 504 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,360 Speaker 1: I think with some I mean Nicki Minaja the same way, 505 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 1: I would have never thought that Nicki Minajo end up 506 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 1: a Trump supporter. It makes sense with NBA Young Boy, though, 507 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 1: because this man was literally parton. He was about to 508 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:55,879 Speaker 1: go to jail, was about to be behind bars, it 509 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 1: was about to be you know, two years of sitting 510 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: down solid and then another sitting down at home. Right, 511 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 1: So I understand that. 512 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,680 Speaker 2: I just wish that. 513 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 1: He wasn't pushing the whole mega regime thing because obviously 514 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 1: NBA Young Boy is very influential and very impactful. He 515 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: is like the leader of you, one of the leaders 516 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 1: of youth culture, if not honestly, I'm saying NBA Young 517 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:27,680 Speaker 1: Boy is the leader of youth culture at this point. 518 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: Youth culture is basically like the Puschreisty's. The youngin is 519 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: like the people. Look, I'm thirty four years old. I 520 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 1: gotta it's not me anymore, but like the thirty one 521 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: in under like that, I would say, Indy, I mean, 522 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 1: the kids love NBA Young Boy. Y'all remember seeing those 523 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,720 Speaker 1: tour videos and hearing the crowd and just seeing how 524 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 1: crazy they were going. That man say jump, they say 525 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 1: how high? So I think politically and again I haven't 526 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,919 Speaker 1: heard him speak much on politics or say this indefinitely, 527 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 1: but I don't know if he understands where he's leading 528 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 1: the people, especially like you know, I know that there 529 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,879 Speaker 1: are some music artists who, although you know, come from 530 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: underserved communities and blah blah, all that stuff you know 531 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: that goes along with it, still feel like or felt 532 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,360 Speaker 1: like President Trump was the answer. But if you look 533 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,880 Speaker 1: at things that have happened more recently, I don't understand 534 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: why anyone would think that or push that, and I 535 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,440 Speaker 1: just don't know if NBA Young Boy, as smart as 536 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: he is, I don't know if he understands how his 537 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 1: blind loyalty ends people up longer term. And honestly, I 538 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 1: mean maybe he does. Maybe I'm completely wrong. Maybe we'll 539 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:45,399 Speaker 1: get that in another interview, but I would rather hear that, like, okay, 540 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 1: like why push whatever Trump is pushing? Why yes, he 541 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 1: pardoned you. I totally understand that, but like I mean, 542 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:59,199 Speaker 1: Fetti Wop was recently released and he wasn't pardoned, but 543 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 1: the First Step Act, which you know, got through the 544 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 1: under the Trump administration, is the reason why he was 545 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 1: able to come home. 546 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 2: But he's not out here. 547 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 1: I want you to be magg again, baby, Yeah, I 548 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 1: want you. You know, I'm not even saying that because 549 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 1: I want nobody to clip that younger. What I'm saying though, 550 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 1: all right now listen obviously at this point, if y'all 551 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 1: can't tell, I am a converted NBA Young Boy fan, 552 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 1: I never was against NBA Young Boy. 553 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 2: I've always liked his music. 554 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 1: I just think I wasn't really in tune with like 555 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,479 Speaker 1: the only thing I knew about him was the thing 556 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 1: that hit the headlines and y'all know my end of it. 557 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,439 Speaker 1: Sometimes that's just the that's the cattiness of it all. 558 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,959 Speaker 1: That's the baby Mama drama. That's the you know, the arrests, 559 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 1: the runner from the police, the all of that stuff. 560 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: But his tour and watching each tour stop in the crowd. 561 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: I didn't go to the tour, but just I wanted 562 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 1: to go. That's how much watching the tour influence me. 563 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 1: I wanted to go to the tour, just experience the 564 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 1: energy of it in real life, but didn't end up 565 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 1: making it. But he says that he's gonna go back 566 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 1: on tour again. He's gonna his plans or to take 567 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: it international hopefully. I stand in the fact that he's 568 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: been able to do all this with feeling black ball 569 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 1: by the industry, with also not having like a lot 570 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: of like mainstream support, Like he's not played all over 571 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 1: the radio, he's not sitting down for a bunch of 572 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: interviews a lot of the times when the outlets are 573 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 1: talking about him. It is the drama, but people love 574 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 1: his music. It goes crazy. I'm all against people going 575 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 1: against the regime. I don't support the MAGA stuff, but 576 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 1: I mean I support get pay Young man get paid. 577 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,479 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. So yeah, but shout out 578 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 1: to Complex for this interview.

That doesn't really mean anything, because 587 00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 2: sometimes these interviews would just be like this could have 588 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 2: been a tweet. You need to see the inner newa. 589 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 2: You know how you could that feeling.
