28
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: this is a moment for y'all to really show the

29
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: world with two black women on a major media platform

30
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: who are going to be faced with, you know, obstacles

Speaker 1: and different things will still come after this, what y'all

32
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: can do and how y'all can do it. For everybody

33
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: who reached out sincerely and wasn't trying to get some

34
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: information for a story or get a quote or just be.

35
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: Messy, I appreciate y'all. I know that.

36
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: Just appreciate you guys too, because for the first time

37
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: ever in my life, I wasn't reaching out to break

38
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: the story. I wasn't detailing the story. I wasn't regurgitating

39
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: a story. I was a story. Nothing could have prepared

40
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: me for that more than my relationship with God that

41
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: I have right now. And I was raised in the church.

42
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: I've always had a relationship with God. That's you know,

43
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: my family and all of that, Like.

44
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: That's just how I was raised.

45
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: But I think when you're grown and you established that

46
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: relationship yourself. It is so different and like a year

47
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: ago when I decided to like get my apartment in

48
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,559
Speaker 1: New York and I was trying to figure everything out.

49
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 1: One of the things that I did was I was like,

50
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna give my life to God again.

51
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 2: Not gonna get emotional.

52
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: It's a good emotion, though, y'all got me like be

53
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 1: Simone up her crown on this podcast about God.

54
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 2: Like what is happening right now. But when I did.

55
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: That, though, I knew that it was a conscious decision,

56
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: and I told myself, I taught myself then that I

57
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: was like arming myself with everything that I was going

58
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: to need to go to this like next level of

59
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: things and God. When I tell y'all, I had no

60
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: idea everything that was going to happen. And this is

61
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: not about like the j just Instagram Live. I mean

62
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,399
Speaker 1: like everything. I just mean, like, you know, me being

63
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: blessed with the opportunity to be at like I left

64
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: a job. When you get on television as a personality,

65
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: you don't take yourself off of TV. I don't care

66
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: how imperfect that situation is, Babe. You figure it out

67
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 1: and you make it work. And for me, you know,

68
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: being at TMZ and being in LA and La is

69
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: a number one market or you know, at least I

70
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: could think things change, numbers change or whatever. I know,

71
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: it's at least top five market. And you're on television

72
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: and you're on prime time, your daytime talk show, and.

73
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 2: No one really knew who I was.

74
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: You know, people knew, but like people were it was like, oh,

75
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: the girl from TMZ to leave that and go to

76
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: a platform where like I was able and you guys

77
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: were able to learn me get to know who I was,

78
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: and you.

79
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: Know what I mean. I was just like, man, God

80
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 2: is really moving in my life.

81
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: When I got on the other side of that, and

82
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: now the conversation that's shaking the room is about me.

83
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: Following jessco on Live on Instagram, I was like, oh shit,

84
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: this is crazy. My first reaction was like, what the fuck, Like,

85
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 1: what's happening right now?

86
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 2: Wait? What? And I just knew it was something because

87
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 2: people just kept sending me to live, sending me live.

88
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, either she's on there, because you know,

89
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: like behind the scenes, I knew that like things weren't perfect.

90
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: I knew she wasn't the most happiest person. But I

91
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: think in my role, I can only speak for myself.

92
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 1: I was trying to do as much as I could

93
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 1: to make sure that things worked out well enough where

94
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 1: she could at least show up and do her job comfortably.

95
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,360

Speaker 1: where my state of mind was within these like throwback episodes.

125
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: By episode three of the Latest with Lauren La Rosa,

126
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: I was literally running on fumes. I was not used

127
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: to this daily regimen of you know, the daily podcast,

128
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: trying to figure out the video, doing the audio. I'm

129
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: up late doing all the edits, doing a rundown for

130
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: the breakfast club stuff. My family start tripping, like my mother,

131
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: my grandmother, They like, yo, what's going on? We ain't

132
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 1: hearing from you. Everything was moving so fast. Everything was

133
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: exploding and I'm I mean, I'm grateful to God that

134
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: it did, but oh my god, I couldn't talk about

135
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: it then because I was like, I don't want to

136
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: sound like I'm complaining, but even listening to my voice

137
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 1: and listening to myself in these first probably the first

138
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: five episodes of the podcast, and that's why I'm so

139
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: happy that all this is like dot minute you can

140
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: just hear, you know, the wear and tear of all

141
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 1: the things, like you know, Breakfast Club was happening and

142
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: people were excited to see me there and the podcast

143
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: had just been announced and we were running with the

144
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: first episodes. I don't think people talk about enough about how,

145
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: you know, when elevation happens, Like we pray for good

146
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: things to happen, we pray to elevate. You work hards,

147
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: you're consistent. You know, I'm learning in real time, so

148
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: I'm doing well, I'm failing in real time. Shoot, I

149
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: sell them sometimes. But people don't talk about enough how

150
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: just learning to adjust and unlearning what you knew on

151
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: one level, to relearn and learn for the first time

152
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: things on this you know, elevated level.

153
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 2: How that like takes a toll on you.

154
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: Mentally and physically while having to stay together in front

155
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: of you know all everybody. So you know, as I'm

156
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: I'm listening with y'all reflecting back on these episodes, I'm.

157
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 2: Like, man, you could literally.

158
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: Hear and feel it. Wow, episode three? What is today?

159
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: Today's too?

160
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 3: No?

161
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: Yes, this is episode three? Okay, Yes, I'm tired, y'all,

162
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: So let me know how y'all feel on Twitter on

163
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: Instagram as you're listening to this and you tag me.

164
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: But I feel like at this point, we are so

165
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: exhausted by these Diddy civil lawsuits and all of the

166
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: things in the sensational like the sensationalize of information that

167
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: are putting these lawsuits to make them go, to make

168
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: them pick up, to make them spread that now people

169
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: don't even care as much. It's like, I mean it.

170
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: And again, there may be people who were actually victimized

171
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: in these ways by Diddy. There may be that is alleged.

172
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: We don't know until it plays out in court on

173
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,599
Speaker 1: both the criminal and the civil side, whatever makes it

174
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 1: the court, right, But it's just kind of crazy because

175
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: I feel like it's like it literally feels like it

176
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: like came and went.

177
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 2: Like at one point in time.

178
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: I know, for me as on a journale side, like

179
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: you know, as I'm choosing stories to do on the

180
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club or choosing stories to like you know, actively

181
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: get new angles and report on and things of that nature.

182
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: I'm always like you know, looking for like, Okay, what's new,

183
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 1: what's happening, what's happening? But the Diddy stop to me. Now,

184
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: I'm just like, oh another one, bro, another one. Can

185
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: we just skip to the point where he go to

186
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 1: court so we can see what's true what's not? Hold up,

187
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: I'm back again to pop on in I'm popping in

188
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: the flashbacks. This was so funny to me when I

189
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: relistened to this episode because I'm like, girl, if only

190
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 1: you had known you was gonna be in court every

191
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: day right with Diddy? And that was a big moment

192
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: for us here on the podcast as well, because we

193
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: covered every day that I was in court, what happened

194
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,560

Speaker 1: to tale sleet walking again. Okay, y'all, this is the

201
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: latest with Laurya l Rosa. I am Laura la Rosa.

202
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: This is episode four, So let's get on into some things.

203
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: We're taking y'all to court. We were doing a little.

204
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 2: Court you know what I mean.

205
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: If there's a Dun Dunn Taylor put that on in here,

206
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: I need that. Okay, it's given litigation right now. So

207
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: the first thing I wanted to talk about wash Drake.

208
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: You guys know that Drake has been going back and

209
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: forth with Universal Music Group over the song not Like Us,

210
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 1: even though he's positioning it and claiming that it's not

211
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: specifically about the song, that it's more so about the

212
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: fact that his label did not protect him and that

213
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: they allowed another artist on the label, speaking of Kendrick

214
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: Lamar to drop out like Us, which Drake and team

215
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: say is a very defamatory song. It's dangerous and there's

216
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: no way that this should have been supported. So now

217
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: he is suing. Okay, the lassit. There's been a lot

218
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: of back and forth, but more recently the Universal Music

219
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: Group side of things said, you know what, Judge this

220
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 1: all is bs, Drake, don't really he doesn't honestly think

221
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: that we did half of.

222
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 2: The stuff that he's claiming.

223
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 1: He's claiming that they work with bots to make not

224
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: Like Us a bigger songs than it was. He's claiming

225
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 1: that they you know, paid third party bloggers to talk

226
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: about it, that they paid radio, like just a ton

227
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: of different things right that he has claimed over some time.

228
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 2: He's claiming everything. But the song is a bop, and baby,

229
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 2: the song is a bop.

230
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: So this next episode that you guys are about to

231
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: hear from like the first couple weeks of the podcast,

232
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: is really really special to me because my mom was

233
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: one of the guests on the episodes, and I've always

234
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: said I wanted to do like a sit down, like

235
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: some sort of content with me, my mom, and my

236
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: grandmom just because I feel like the generational conversations are

237
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: good and there's you know, there's some things that aren't

238
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: so good, but I think that, you know, it could

239
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: help people to see us talk through it. So getting

240
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: her on the podcast was fired. My mom loves to talk,

241
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: she loves people, so she was more than excited to

242
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: do it. But it was also special for me because

243
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: you know when my mom, my mom is a stage

244
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: four cancer survivor. If you guys have listened to my

245
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: early episodes here on The Latest with Lona Rosa, I've

246
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: talked about that.

247
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 2: I believe, but my mom.

248
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: I remember one time we had a conversation just about

249
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 1: you know, my mom was just basically trying to comfort me.

250
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 2: Early.

251
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 1: She's like, look, we don't know how this is going

252
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: to all work out, you know, with this cancer battle.

253
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: We don't know what's going to happen. I'm not giving up.

254
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: God has the last say so, but I just want

255
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 1: you to know that, you know, everything I've been able

256
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: to see you and your brother accomplished in life has

257
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: fulfilled me. If I don't ever get to see anything else,

258
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: I am fulfilled as a parent and that I know

259
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: she was trying to comfort me, but it broke my

260
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: heart because I'm like, man, it's so much to do

261

Speaker 1: on the podcast, and when I listened to this back

263
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: to figure out whether I was going to put it

264
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: here in this recap episode, I cried because I'm like, man,

00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,280

Speaker 1: because you guys are the African American Museum in d C.

335
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 4: We We were, We absolutely were. It's just it's you know,

336
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 4: I think because Girlfriends was so iconic. I feel so

337
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 4: old when I say that, I'm like iconic, But I

338
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 4: think because it was one of the first shows that

339
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 4: actually celebrated or you know, maur Buck to kill, you know,

340
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 4: hats off to her showing black women doing yoga and

341
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 4: eating sushi and wearing fly closed designer. I think that

342
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 4: was the first time I ever heard about, you know,

343
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 4: the well, not really the broken back because Sex and

344
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 4: the City did it, but you had women of women

345
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 4: of color wearing designer. You know.

346
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 2: We talked about it, and.

347
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,719
Speaker 4: I just think that on so many levels it showcased

348
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 4: us in a way that we hadn't seen ourselves and

349
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 4: all of our flaws, you know, And I think that

350
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 4: that's something that I think women of color it was.

351
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 4: It opened up a whole new conversation piece on the

352
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,239
