Speaker 1 (00:02):
I'm a homegrowl that knows a little bit about everything
and everybody, you know, if.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
You don't lie about that. Right.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Hey guys, it's Laura L. Rosa and this is the
Latest with Lauren L.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Rosa.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
So you know, this is your Deily dig on all
things pop culture, entertainment, news and the conversations that shake
the room. Our story, our lead story today and the
latest with Laura Rosa. We skip it behind the scenes
of the grind because you know, I really want to
get to this because this right here biggest news I've
(00:37):
seen in some time. The latest right now is that,
oh no, it is coming to the casino, y'all. So
Uno is officially going to be a part of a
casino experience in Las Vegas, which is insane to me.
So the Poms casino resort in Las Vegas is going
(00:59):
to be setting up its first ever the first ever
actually in general, the first ever in a casino. Uno
social club so to be off the strip in Las Vegas.
And after this happened, there's supposed to be more Uno
clubs that are gonna open across the US later this year.
And that's according to Mattel, who owns the Uno brand.
(01:20):
Now it's unclear at this point if people who go
into that Uno Social club room will actually be able
to gamble on the game or if you'll just be
in there playing or like you know how it will work.
But people are excited. Okay, the people are excited. I
was asking friends in the room earlier, like, do y'all
think that Uno belongs in a casino? And when I
(01:44):
tell you now, I'm a Uno player and Uno was
such a big deal, like in college, it's always a
big deal drinking game wise, But I've never seen people
play Uno for money.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
I know that it happens, but I've just never.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Seen it, so I don't even know like what the
rules are, like do you make money every hand you
or every game you win, or like, I don't know.
I just know that Uno is so y'all like, oh no,
it's one of like the most competitive games ever, Like
Spades is competitive as I don't know what in a
black household, But I don't know if spades is diverse,
(02:18):
like if it's as as adversely is that a word?
I don't know if space is competitive across the board,
like when you leave a black household, when you leave
the black function and you go elsewhere.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Are they as competitive about spades?
Speaker 1 (02:32):
And you know how we do, like we yelling, we
slimming cars down.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
You know, your and your uncle might not like each
other at the end of the game.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Whoever brought the potato salad, I hope it's good because
if you're sitting down and you messing up and you
were nigging them space, they gonna find that moment to
pull your card about how bad your potato salad was. Okay,
space is a thing, but oh no, it is a
thing as well. But I've never seen it in this matter.
Like even with spades, I've seen people gamble on spade,
on you know, tunk on p K, on different card games,
(03:01):
but never with this. So I was more so asking,
not because the game isn't popular, but I was asking
because I wanted to know, like, how do you get paid?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Because the point of going to the casino is to
get paid? And baby, they chewed me out. Okay, they
chewed me out.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
But according to newsweek dot Com, Uno is I mean,
I don't gotta tell y'all this number for y'all to know,
everybody listening here has probably played UNO or experienced a
serious UNO game where you knew, okay, this is life
or death. But Newsweek is reporting that the Uno game
is owned by an estimated eighty percent of American households,
(03:37):
and that's across like ethnicities and cultures and things of
that nature. And they're citing this number according to the
National Museum of Play, which dubbed Uno as America's favorite game. Now,
when I'm thinking about America's favorite game, I'm thinking about
Uno and I'm thinking about Monopoly, because I feel like
those two games.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Kind of go hand in hand.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
But Monopoly is kind of like a neat like you
have to have a certain interest level in games and
board games and taste to really get busy and get
crazy with Monopoly.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Uno is easy. Everybody plays Uno.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
It's the easiest to teach, the easiest to play, and
the easiest to carry around as well too, because you're
throw in your pockets, throwing your bag. So now these
social clubs inside of the casino will have, you know,
just different themes to them as they pop up throughout
the country later this year with different experiences as well.
So I guess they're kind of like testing this out,
(04:33):
so different experiences in the bars as well. So the
Poms Hotel said that you know, each event will transform
everyday hot spots into the ultimate game night destination with
UNO thing, drink men, use, tournament stop play, photo moments,
and more.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Y'all.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
That is going to be so fun. I don't know
if y'all have ever had a drink night with UNO,
like when you invite friends over, y'all chilling, y'all drinking
or whatever, but it's going to.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Be so fun.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Not the only thing that I'm trying to figure out
is what will house rules be? Because y'all know, if
you've ever played Uno, the house rules matter so much
like can we stack cards? How does that go? So
very interested in seeing what house rules will be for
UNO and who decides them and then once decided, As
(05:22):
these different UNO social clubs pop up throughout different states,
does it change the state, Because honestly, I feel like
the group of people you're with in the state that
they're in or where they grew up determines how they
do a lot of things included like UNO spades as well,
but UNO for sure like the way that you're able
to because some people have it where like you can't
continue to put draw twos and then you can't put
(05:44):
a draw four over draw two. You can't, Oh, you
can't like double stacks. Like, there's a lot of different
rules that you go in and out of. So interested
to see all of that. I'm not a big casino
person at all. I was actually just in Atlantic City
this past weekend, and I nothing in me ever wants
to sit in the casino game. But first of all,
casino don't meally smell like cigarettes, and I hate that smell.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
But I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
I'm just not a fan of losing money in the
games are just not fun when it's all those people,
when there's so much pressure you're trying to figure out
your money.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
I think UNO's going to be a bit different.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I really think Uno it's going to be a big difference,
especially because it's already competitive without the money. So it's like, okay,
let me know what y'all are thinking, though, how y'all
are feeling.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Are y'all traveling to go play Uno?
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Because that's another thing too, if you're a real Uno
player and you really enjoyed the game. Like for me,
I'm just sitting here thinking like, Okay, I would love
to experience it.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
In Jersey in Jersey.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Ooh, not in Jersey, in Vegas, but then I would
love to kind of see what the vibe is like
playing Uno in a casino in Miami. You know what
I mean, Like just being able to compare the two
locations and the drink menus and the rules and all
the things.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Now up next in the latest.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
This is a very hard, right, but maybe not because
a lot of people are trying to figure out.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
We speaking about playing games.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
A lot of people are trying to figure out right
now if our girl, Meg the Stallion is playing games
with Klay Thompson, NBA player Klay Thompson, or if she
is serious.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Now let me explain to you guys what I mean.
So news broke. I wouldn't even say news broke.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Megde Stallion broke the news that she was dating Klay Thompson.
Sometime last week. She posted a picture in a bikini
she was at the pool and boom in the background
of the photo, in a very far background of the photo,
it's Klay Thompson. We talked about this a bit on
the Breakfast Club this morning as well, and then Clay
Thompson posted a photo celebrating a street naming and in
(07:38):
that swipe through was Meg thee Stallion, so it confirmed
that they were dating.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Now let me get on into my opening line.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
When I came in here, right, I said that people
want to know if Meg thee Stallion is playing with
Klay Thompson because people feel like she's had several public relationships.
And when I say relationships, I don't know if they're
actuallyclusively dating boyfriend girlfriend, but she has been spotted with
several very p you know people that people know, Toy
(08:07):
Craig uh there was the soccer player from overseas as
well as she was at the wedding with like you
know and and listen, this is how I feel about it.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
I feel like our girl is dating. That's a part
of dating.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
You go out, you experience things with people you know
you you might let it get u a bit serious
until you discover that it can't be serious anymore and
you can't move forward, or if you're lucky, you move
forward and it becomes a real thing, and then you
you out the streets just ghetto out here anyway, She
ain't trying to be out here.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Ain' none of us trying to be out here.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
But I think the reason why people are having a conversation,
and they do this all the time with women. Whenever
a woman is dating, especially if she's high profile. If
she's a high profile woman and she's dating men that
are also high profile, it's like, you can't be seen
with anyone but the one person you're gonna spend the
rest of your life with. Lori Harvey also gets a
(08:58):
lot of these critiques that I'm seeing Meg the Stallion
get because Lorie Harvey is a person who will date openly,
who you know, will leave a situation and move on
and get another boyfriend, and that boyfriend be just as
famous as the last. And it seems like Meda Sallion
is not afraid to do that either. And I understand
people's like, oh my god, like, yo, we just seen
(09:19):
you with Tory Craig on TikTok a year ago.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
I get all that. I totally do, and I do think.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
You know, as I'm learning and navigating and you know,
things are in the public eye. One of the things
that I'm learning is that you know who has access
to you not learning. I knew it, but I think
you consider it a lot differently. When things change and
people are you have to begin really having a conversation
about why people are around you or why you're giving
(09:46):
access to certain people in certain ways. And in doing
that and in having that conversation, you just get a
lot more particular about who you've seen with, who mom
is meeting, who you know, the family is meeting, things
of that nature. And I think that that's what the
that comes with age and in maturity as well too.
It's like, you know, because for me, it's like, I
get it. Meg's dating, she's you know, she's doing her
(10:08):
one too. She's getting to know people, and that's what
you should do. But I think when you are a
megda Stallion, even if you are seen having a smile okay,
not even having a drink with but just having a
smile while in conversation with the man, and you are single,
reports happen, right, So it is about just being particular
just because you know, if she's dating, she's dating, but
(10:30):
being attached to everybody or to I don't want to
say everybody, because I mean we didn't seen her date
a few people announce everybody.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
That's that's unfair.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
But being attached to someone when you are a person
of status is such a thing, and on both sides
the men that she's dealing with, and they're choosing to
be public with her. It's a thing for them, and
it's a thing for her as well too, So I
understand people's pushback, But then I also feel like, what's
wrong with megda Stallion being like, Hey, I tried that,
that didn't work, baby, I'm moving on and I'm gonna
(10:59):
try something else. Maybe it's something similar, but it's somebody different.
I don't understand what the issue is anytime women choose.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
To do that.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
J Lo not not similar per se, because people have
this critique with j Lo where they're like, oh, Jlo
is the problem because you know, she's been in very
serious relationships and engaged, you know, several times, and they
haven't resulted in happily ever after. So she moves on
(11:29):
and she tries again with someone else more recently been Affleck,
and that was their second time doubling back, and people thought,
you know, been in gin to point out we thought that, you.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Know, this was it and didn't work out.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
So then people start having a conversation about like, Okay,
is the woman the problem? Is it wrong for us
if to see a woman dating people, is she promiscue?
Is is she you know, all the things, all the
things they like to throw at as because of that.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
So you know, it's like, on one hand.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
I understand the power of secrecy and mystery.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
That is where I'm at with Thane.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
But I also feel like, you know, more power to
you if you want to publicly figure this thing out
with you know people as you date them and choose
not to date them anymore. Cardi B recently talked a
bit about this in one of her ex posts or
her ex spaces when she was like one X, let's
take a listen to that. She made a really good
point about women dating and the perception of women dating.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Let's take a listen.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
And I don't know why these men are calling me
on type of slutsal, type of horzor type of this,
on type of that.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
I was a stripper, but even when I was a stripper,
I was coughed. I had a boyfriend. I had a fiance,
and even when you went to jail, I was loyal
to him and everybody knows that. And after that, after
that breakup, I got married and I was man for
seven years and I didn't cheat it. And now I'm
with a man, they love me down. So I don't
(12:53):
understand why these are so buf her and calling me
a type of sluts. And I'm like a terrible this,
I'm a terrible that, I'm a yah. Well whatever the like,
I'm motivate to do better and be better and stay better.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
And that is a fact. And like I said, I
mean Cardi talked about this. It's a fine line, right
because Carti mentioned she's always been in long relationships.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
She's all and she.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Was dealing with offset for you know, six or seven years.
They've been together for some time. But the minute that
you start dating or you deal with anyone else, you
get the whole title thrown on you. You get all these things.
But when does a woman have a chance to really
experience people to figure out what she wants and she
doesn't want.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
And I don't think that you have to do that publicly.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I think that, honestly, I would much prefer it be
in private before you pop out, because now you done
popped out, the labeling happens. We can't get around the
fact that the labeling happens, and that there is a stereotype.
But I do think that getting to experience someone in
the public eye, seeing how they are when you take
them into your environment, especially if you're a person up status,
you know, and that's public, you know, these events or
(14:01):
these outings or these you know whatever, even if that
person is a celebrity themselves, you want to know that.
And if I'm hiding, and we not hiding, but if
I'm if I'm keeping you no face, no trace, mister
wizard Kelly forever. I don't know what that element is like.
And then when we do it, it's like, you know,
but I do think, you know, there should be disdain
around at what point that happens? And I don't know
(14:23):
Mag's system, you know, I think you know, women you know,
and y'all let me know, chime in, take it to
the streets, to the tweets. Make sure you at me
at Laura Lauoza, let me know what your dating system
looks like. For me, I had to develop it. I never,
as an adult dated. I was in a relationship for
a very long time, which I didn't realize, Like, okay,
I went from a senior in high school all the
(14:45):
way through college up until like what like two years
ago for real dealing with the same person even on
the outs of that person, there was no real dating
happening because I would sell very much attached to that person,
So what was happening, I wouldn't consider dating for real.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
So once I move forward.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
From that, I had to realize and have a conversation
with myself.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Like I didn't even know how to date. I didn't
I didn't know how to date.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I didn't know how to you know, be in public
with another person, and that was something I wanted to experience.
So I had to take the chance of like, okay,
let's go in public. Then okay, let's go on dates.
Then let's figure this out. Things are a lot different
now than when I first started this, you know, whole
dating season of life, because things weren't as elevated. You know,
(15:30):
I didn't have a million low riders listen to the
podcast every day. But you know, now that I've gotten
to a point where, like, I'm dating more seriously and intentionally,
and I'm focused, you know, not on a bunch of
different people. One of the things that I've enjoyed is
I love that people don't have access to me. I
love that the person that, like, you know, I'm focused
on is what I'm focused on, and we're.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Seeing where that goes.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Like, you know, I think intentionality is what I'm speaking
to and I've begin to enjoy that a lot more.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Whereas but for it wasn't there like it.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
You know, I ain't out here getting all crazy, but
I did feel like I needed to experience people and
things to be able to know what my boundaries were.
It's like when you go bowling for the first time.
If you don't know that they have bumpers, They're not
just gonna put them.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Up for you.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
You have to know to ask for that. So I
had to learn what I like, what I don't like,
what I'm okay with. So I knew what to ask
for and I knew what to say, Hey, I don't
want this when it's presented or when I'm dealing with it.
So it's a hard face of being you know what
I mean. Like, I just feel like as women sometimes
we just can't win. The people love to hate meg
Da Sallion anyway, we just being honest. Ever, since you
(16:37):
know everything with Tory Lanez, they love to hate Magda Sallion.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
So she you know that.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
I don't think that's something she'll ever get around at
this point, unfortunately. But when it comes to other women
like a j Loo or a Cardi b or you
know anybody that you can think of out here dating.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
It's like men, we can't.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Even kiss the frog because if we get a frog,
if we get one, too many frogs. Now we in
our city, girl Era and y'all gotta have a whole
conversation about us.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
It's like I gotta kiss the frogs and.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Know when I met the prince, because then when I
get the prince, I know exactly what to do with them.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
I know exactly how to treat them.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Boom be outside we outside, we outside outside. Every other page,
let me know what y'all are predicting. You know, will
Megda sayah and Klay Thompson make it through the summer?
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Will they say together?
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Is this a forever thing? Is this just a fun thing?
Because I think you know that's it as well too.
It's like, you know, you do gotta realize that eventually,
if things aren't sticking, it's just young and it's fun.
And you know, some women are okay with that, some aren't.
Let me know what y'all think. At me, at Lon
La Rosa, everywhere. At the end of the day, I
always tell you guys. There's a lot to talk about,
(17:48):
and y'all could be anywhere with anybody talking about it,
but my low Riders, y'all choose to be right here
with me, and I appreciate y'all for it. I will
catch you guys in my next episode, and don't be
always wrong with my printed Pettermond droppy his niss
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Mhm
