Speaker 1 (00:01):
Twist. I'm a homegirl that knows a little bit about
everything and everybody. I don't know if you don't lie
about that. Right, Hey, y'all, what's up. It's Lauren de
Rosa and this is the latest with Lauren de Rosa.
This is your daily dig on all things pop culture, entertainment, news,
and all of the conversations that shake the room. Now
(00:23):
a ton to get into. We have not been back
here in the studio for some days because Fashion Week
has been driving me insane. It's a good insane though,
so last season, last February, I think one of the
only things I did, or maybe I did two things.
I know, I walked in the Met Theeater show, shout
out to Gabrielle and the Met Feeder team, Met Theeater magazine.
(00:45):
I also attended a like just a few events. I
don't even know if that was fashion Week. For some reason,
the only thing I remember from fashion Week last season,
for those who don't know, would have been February of
twenty twenty five, and you know, would have been September
twenty five. It's a different season. And that just basically
means that the clothes on the runway that they're showing
our different seasons, so you're always showing a season ahead.
(01:07):
So right now, September twenty twenty five, this is the fall.
So on the runway, what we got to see all
of the fashion week shows that I've been to. Within
the last couple of days, they're showing us clothing for
spring summer twenty twenty six, and then in February they
were showing us what was coming for the fall. You
get where I'm going here. Okay, this for all my
people that are not fashion now I've been, you know,
(01:29):
out of studio, please go and visit my YouTube channel.
I know. We did do an audio only episode where
I broke down Harlem's Fashion Row, which was the show
that kicked all fashion week for me. Shout out to
Brandis and her team and foot Locker. Since that event,
we have done so much. I attended Sergio Hudson's show.
(01:52):
I talked about that a bit on the Breakfast Club.
I am a huge, huge, huge advocate for black Designersnumber one,
me being a person. You know, we don't have our
merch live anymore on the website, but me being a
person that designs myself that is into fashion. Myself, I
understand how much it takes to take fabric, to take
(02:13):
an idea, to take a concept, a mood, and an
inspiration board, and to make it a full line of clothing,
a collection. You know how much money it takes, how
much thought you put your babies out there into the world.
So you know, I champion up and coming designers in general,
just because you know, anytime I can give platform, I
love to because when I've been given platforms, It's changed
(02:34):
my life. So I try to do that as I
can for other people, but black designers specifically, because people
always ask me, where does my passion for fashion? Where
does it come from? My mother was a fashion designer.
She was here in New York for some years before
she moved to Delaware and had me. She actually decided
not to go and follow her fashion design dreams and
(02:54):
to move to Delaware, you know, get into flipping housing
and have me, and you just wanted to come to
create a stable life for herself. Because she had been
here in New York for some time. She had done
a few programs at FT, which is a fashion institute here.
She was actually selling clothing in a boutique and it
just wasn't I mean, she was doing well, but in
wanting to start a family from it, it wasn't what
(03:17):
she wanted. She hadn't accumulated enough to be comfortable enough
to bring kids into the world off of her creative
talent of design and clothing. So she turned that into
you know, let me buy property, let me design inside
of the property. My mom, you know, at one point,
was doing everything from land towles on the floor to
building out bathrooms. Like you know, she just took it
(03:39):
from one place to the other. But she needed stability.
And every time I hear her story, I know, she
tells me a story about, you know, almost being able
to go from the boutique that she was selling in
here in New York to putting clothing into Macy's. But
they wanted you to be able to pay for all
of your own inventory, and you had to have a
certain amount of inventory to be able to go in
the store. She didn't really know much about getting loan,
(04:00):
and you know, she just wasn't making enough to be
able to front that cost. So she decided to take
the money that she did have saved up go and
buy property and lean more into that. And I always think,
you know, when I see her sketches, when I see
how excited she gets about my friends who designed and
just different things that I'm doing. What her life would
have been like if she had been able to eat
(04:20):
off of And granted she she ate off of her
creativity to a certain extent, but she had been able
to eat off of being a fashion designer to the
extent where she was able to feel stable enough to
bring kids into the world and do that full time.
I always wonder what my mom's life experience would have
been like. Granted, all things work out under God in
the way that they're supposed to, but that is always
(04:41):
something I think about. And when I see how passionate
I get about, you know, clothing and putting together things
and designing things, like, oh my god, it wows me
to see how something like that can be passed on generationally.
And then I see it in my niece, like I
catch her like sketching things and she's she can just
do so much. And I always think, you know, what
(05:02):
that generational pass down would have looked like if my
mom had put that line in Macy's and that became
you know, the next big I don't know, gap or
H and M or whatever the case may be. Right,
So when I see young designers, especially young black designers,
I try and support as much as I can. I'm
actually wearing a designer right now. I post pictures to
(05:23):
my social media. For all of the audio listeners who
don't see me, can only hear me. And then for
those of you guys that are are looking at me,
you see me. I'm in a spec suit. The brand
is called Wesley New York. I was in a spot
yesterday after I left the Romeo Hunt fashion show called
Saint black On restaurant here in New York. It's in
the city, and when we walked in, there was a brand,
(05:45):
a guy in his team that had like a rack
of clothing set up and they were doing a pop up.
We were just in there eating, you know, eating all
the things. And I was gonna say, eat and drinking.
But who has been a minute since I had a
drink Simona's Fast. But yeah, we were there and he
recognized me from Breakfast Club and came over and said, hey,
you know, would love to give you some things whatever whatever,
(06:06):
And instantly I'm like, yeah, for sure. So this spetsuit
I've had on today, I wore this in our interviews,
you know, full show, just doing as much as I
can because I understand and I respect the hustle, and
I always think, you know, you give somebody that chance
to be able to provide for themselves, it's another chance
that they don't give up on what they're doing because
(06:27):
they need to provide to be able to do it.
So Fashion Week and you know, anything pertaining to that
is always near and dear to me because of all
the backstory I just told you guys, so you know,
just real quick checking in behind the scenes to the grind.
I am just feeling very grateful and very appreciative. I
was out at these shows that I was just talking
to you guys, or some of them. I was talking
(06:48):
to you guys about and you know, from Romeo Hunt,
who dressed me a lot when I was covering the
Diddy trial, to Sergio Hudson, who I met at the
Breakfast Club, who I've always been a really big fan of,
finally got to me. I literally fanned out the first time.
Soergio came to the Breakfast cause I'm like, y'all, do
y'all know who that is? But you know, to being
able to be at his show and He's one of
(07:08):
the big shows at shows at Spring Studios, which is
a you know, a venue that like all of the
popular shows are housed in during New York Fashion Week.
And while they're just you know, running into and seeing
so many different people, like I got to meet Junie Imbrose,
the stylist, I saw Mary J. Blige, Sherry Shepherd is there,
and Stephanie Mills is there. One of the girls from
(07:29):
Love Island walk the runway, Landria from Love Island walk
the runway, and just you know being out and about.
Like even at Romeo Hunt show, you had you know,
fabulous sit in front row, Bust the Rhyme sit in
front row. Da Vinci who plays Tea on BMF the
the fifty cent series sit in front row, row row
Timmy at the Romeo Hunt show as well. And I'm
(07:51):
front row and I'm looking around, I'm seeing all these
people and I'm just in my mind, Like God is
guy has such a funny way of reminding you that
whatever it is for you, whatever realm, whatever conversation, whatever
creative juice you think the world should be feeling from you,
will always find its way to the forefront. And I
was just in you know, these last couple of days,
(08:12):
I've been really appreciating the latest with Laurna Rosa and
you know all my low Riders, a tune in the
Breakfast Club as the platform and just what has been
able to do, you know for me, but it enables
me to do things for other people, like go to
these shows and talk about the shows, so people know
who these the designers are and know how dope they
are and where they're It's just I've had that's been
(08:34):
my experience at fashion Week, Like, yes, we got all
of the craziness. You know. I love seeing the stars
out and I love seeing you. I saw Kids, Supper Returned.
They had a show here in New York. Lauren Hill
was there. Buster Romes was also there as well too.
I saw Actively Black. They did a show where they
brought out Free and AJ and doctor Bernice King who
was the daughter of Martin Luther King Junior and Malcolm
(08:56):
Ex's daughter. They just pay tribute to so much legacy
and so much blackness. I'm probably forgetting some people, man,
I did so much. Oh foot Locker, shout out to
foot Locker. They had a dinner celebrating all of the
muses of New York and I was invited to that
and you know, just the room. It was a very
hand selected room. The women I met that night were amazing.
(09:18):
The dinner was fire. So shout out to you know,
foot Locker and Nike and Worthy of the marketing team
over there. It's just been a really good Oh. I
won't also want to shout out hbcun Y who brought
me out to do several events over the weekend as well,
and they had a Foobu fashion show that they allowed
me to introduce, you know, just bringing the game into
(09:42):
fashion week. I thought that that was really smart as
well too. It's just been a really grateful couple of days.
And I'm a grateful person. I'm always giving things to God,
and y'all hear me talk a lot about just where
I've come from, what I've been able to do. But Lord, yes,
like these last couple of days has made me grateful
for everything. I even found myself one day just sitting
(10:04):
and being grateful for I mean, I've always been grateful
for my journey at TMZ, but being extremely grateful for it,
like beyond words grateful for it, just like thinking about
how God has put me in positions that I couldn't
even have dreamt of, nor could I ever just applied
for as a job, you know what I mean, Like
(10:26):
just really great positions that have prepared me for like
next steps. When I ran into Sherry Shepherd at Sergio
Hudson's show, you know, she was pouring into me. It
was really fast, but we got to talk of it,
and she did this when she came to the Breafast
Club too. But you know her words were like, and
keep doing what you're doing, but you know, remember that
this is going somewhere for you. What you do and
(10:49):
how you do it, as you hone it, as you sharpen,
this is going somewhere for you. And I know it's tough.
Y'all see the Breakfast Club and y'all see the things
that we do there, and I don't think people unders then.
Coming from a newsroom, I'm used to having a team
for the producers who also do what I do, reach
out on news break stories. I'm used to having a
full developed research team that corrects you on everything from
(11:12):
pronunciation to factual checks to they keep you up to
date in the moment they're yelling and screaming things out
as they change video editors like the team and the
dynamic is so different. What I love about the Breakfast
Club is, you know, we're a smaller team, but we're
all learning together. They're teaching me about radio and how
the Breakfast Club has been able to be the engine
(11:32):
it has been for the last fifteen years, and I'm
teaching them. You know, my perspective coming from a newsroom,
but a lot of those safeguards I don't have anymore.
So I don't have in ears in with you know,
producers feeding me information and all of that. So when
I'm on air, when I'm preparing my stories, it is
just me. The pressure of that. Lord y'all don't understand.
(11:53):
And it for I would say, right before I started
this fast, which is what pushed me into the fast,
it has started to get to me. Like when I
would mess up, I would be so on my head
about it for weeks and weeks and week. It would
throw my energy off in the room, and you know,
just so many things. And I think that's natural. I
think as platform grows and your notoriety grows, and you know,
(12:16):
if you really care about what you do, like I'm
an artist, like people are like, oh, you're a journalist.
I'm a storyteller, right. I can tell stories across many
different verticals. This is just where you guys are meeting
me right now. But because I care about this, and
because I care about that, I take everything to heart.
Not that I harp on what people say, but more so,
it's just like I've learned things at a set standard
(12:38):
that I want to keep it at, but also want
to go above that. So whenever i feel like I'm
not doing that, I do get really hard on myself.
And she was reminding me. She literally said to me,
Sherry Shepherd said to me, I know you don't have
everything behind you. I know when that might goes up,
it's just you and it feels like that and even
it and I'm like, well, no, I got producers. She's
(13:00):
like yes, but for what you do, it's very hard
to have a team that you know is fully trained
the way you are trained. And now that I'm in
the talk show space, I understand that. Like it. It's different.
When you turn on that mic, it is you, When
you prepare that segment, it is you. The responsibility of
that is very very heavy, but take it and stride.
(13:23):
You can't be perfect things will happen, but remember you
are going somewhere. Don't let it stop you. And she
was just telling me that, you know, I'm doing a
really good job and stuff like that matters to me
so much because again, I care about this. This is
my career, this is going to be you know, this
is this is this is my thing, this is one
(13:44):
of my things. But this is the vehicle that's gonna
get all the other things moving. But also too, It's
just you know, when you see people doing things at
a heighten a level where you want to get to
you listen, like, you know, I want to remain a
student forever. But I don't know. I just went on
that tangent Lord Have mercy, but that was a bit
about Fashion Week. Yeah, I just I'm grateful for the invites.
(14:06):
There was a lot of like shows that we wanted
to RSVP for or RSVP Ford and didn't hear back.
Like we didn't get into the Wang Show, which was
kind of crazy to me because I work a lot
with Alexander Wang. But there was a lot of things
that we didn't get to do firsthand. But the things
that I did get to do, it was like God
had me everywhere I was supposed to be and looking
good while doing it. Okay, couldn't ask for nothing better
(14:29):
but to be preordained and covered and favored by God
and look good while doing it. Okay, Clockett, That's all
you can ever ask for. So you know, fashion week
was fire. But yes, we have not been in studio.
I've been doing a lot of my recap videos for YouTube.
Make sure you check those out. It's Laura the Rosa
TV on YouTube. All of my fashion week stuff is
there and across my socials. Speaking of fashion week, Cardi
(14:59):
went uptown. She you know, took it back to the
bodegas during fashion week, and tons and tons and tons
of people came out. There were thousands and thousands of
people out there, yo, Like it was like Michael Jackson Mayhem,
like the days of like real superstar celebrities, Like you
can't even walk down the street. It was insane. But
(15:21):
while out there, there was a content creator who asked
Cardi a question and I thought her answer was kind
of like very emotionally mature, and I want to figure out,
you know, do y'all agree with her? Because I slightly
agree with her. Let's take a listen. Would you let
your boyfriend have a girl best friend, Yes, because it's
like sometimes you need advice from a female. So when
(15:41):
you fuck up, a female's gonna tell you the children
where you puck up. When me and him have issues, Okay,
I can take me out the hood. I see trying
to make it out. I was about to go back
in the hood. If y'all buy my Hunble Child. Cardi
B has been pushing his album and She and Today
actually uh, it's two forty six pm Eastern end of
time on November November, sho I wanted to be my
(16:03):
birthday so bad. September fifteenth, In about fifteen minutes, Cardi
B's interview with Kelly Rowling will drop and I'm just
going Carti B is killing the rollout. Has always done that,
Like Carti has always been very conscious of her rollouts.
I will say though her rollouts, like for instance, a
(16:24):
rollouts she did for invasion or privacy, I felt like
that was like, I mean, she's always been touching her fans,
stays on social all that, but that was very high level,
like it was all of the visuals and the photo shoots,
and you know, she does her thing every time she
hits any season or any location at Fast Week. This
feels like Carti felt like in her mind she needed
(16:47):
to get back. She's been connected with her fans, but
like she needed to like touch the people for real,
for real. So she has all the photo shoots, the
you know, all of the all the things I just said,
the fashion week stuff and all that. She's been running
around Fashion Week as well. I saw her and culture
at Alexander Wang, you know. I saw her also at
the Galore magazine party with Tokyo Styles. I was actually
(17:10):
at that party. But this feels like old school Carti
set the camera up, get back outside. That's literally what
this feels like. And it's working, and it's honestly showing
and reminding people why we love Carti, but also what
superstardom really feels like, right, Like when people feel like
they know you, but like they can't touch you or
(17:32):
get to you, like the old school celebrity way. It
feels like that and I love to see it. But
getting back to her answer, so, originally, when I heard
this audio and I heard her answer, I'm like, yes,
I have two male best friends that I don't even
call them like my best friends. I call one of
them my best friends. But to be honest with you,
(17:52):
like we family, Like those are my brothers, Like we
are family for real. It's been years of us being
family and like you know, knowing each other's lives and
you know, all the things. And there are a lot
of times where even if my opinion is not asked,
because I'm good for inserting something where it's not asked,
(18:12):
do I have to pause that? No, I don't gotta
paused that because I can insert things if they okay. Yes,
But a lot of times I'm in their business, and
even if I'm not purposely in their business, maybe I
overhear something or they mentioned something. As a woman, I react,
And I've always been very honest with them about because
(18:32):
here's my thing as a woman who's been in relationships
where I was being lied to, I was being cheated on,
I was being you know, under not appreciated, I wasn't
being you know, taught what I wanted to learn or
being led. But also as a woman being in a
relationship who hasn't always been right either, Like I've lied
as well, I've cheated as well. I've been you know,
(18:55):
not the best partner as well. I begin to realize
is you know, the it appreciate the male perspective in
my life. So I give them my female perspective very honestly,
because even when they don't want to hear it, I
know they appreciate it because I'm the same way when
they tell me something. So you know, there's been situations
(19:16):
where my male friends will mention things or say things
and I'm like, wait, what you did, what you said,
what you responded to her? Like, especially when it comes
to their like, you know, relationships and like, you know,
one of my best friends is engaged, should be married. Like,
There's been a lot of times where I've had to
be like, yeah, I feel you, but like I don't
(19:36):
really feel you though, because as a woman, here's where
that's coming from, and you're never going to see or
understand this perspective. So I'm gonna give it to you.
And another thing too, is I think you know when
you hear that, there's a lot of people who will
say I'm my business. I don't get involved in my friends' relationships,
and to a certain extent, I do, especially certain friends.
But if it's a relationship that I feel like there
(19:56):
is progression within, there's a chance for growth you know
there's a change, and especially if the person wants the information,
that's where I insert it. And a lot of times
it's like, as a man, even if you have the
greatest relationship with your partner, with your wife, with your girlfriend, right,
you may not hear things the way she needs you
(20:19):
to hear it. You may not. And even if you
hear it, like I'm not talking about the physical act
of hearing something. I'm talking about hearing to comprehend, understanding,
and have empathy or feel. A lot of times men
don't do that and women do the same thing. I
learned from having male friends that women we are horrible
at really understanding are men. And really, I was gonna
(20:44):
say taking care of our men, but I know the
women listening to that, like, girl, what taking care of
our men? What? No? I mean taking care of our
men as in not even nurturing. I think that naturally,
as women we nurture. But just oh, Charlemage's wife said
the perfect thing to me one time, being it's a
(21:05):
safe space, providing a safe space and being there and
showing up for them just as people. A lot of
times I think women we deal with men as the
men we've been programmed for them to be. We've never
learned how to really take care of a man, that is,
you know your men, right, like a lot of us haven't.
(21:25):
And even if we have by your mom, your grandmother, whoever,
you relearn and unlearn a lot of things because your
men and your household is conducted completely different than what
they're used to right. And when I say that, I
mean like I was having a conversation and one of
the things she said to me. I was talking about,
you know, some things, and I think you know, me
and Bay were we were back and forth about something,
(21:46):
a little argument, and the first thing she said to
me was, but are you creating a safe space though?
And I had to think about it and I'm like, yeah,
you know, I think I am. And she's like, well
you thought about it? What was the hesitation? I was like,
you know, I had to think about what, say space
is even supposed to look like and feel like. I
know what I want my safe space to look like
and feel like. But I'm not a man. I'm not
(22:07):
dealing with the things that he deals with in the
world every single day. So I had to really sit
back and like think about, like, you know, what are
some of the things that are happening in his life
right now, What are some of the things that he's
dealing with on a day to day You know what
am I hearing him talk about complaining about? Or just
where are the spaces that I feel like there's a
void of like you need the support or sometimes not
even just support like an action, but just like somebody there.
(22:32):
And I think that's the biggest thing with having platonic
male and female relationships. And I think that's what Carti's
speaking to. It's like as a woman when I'm telling
my guy friends, no, she needs you to pull up
this way. No, here's what she meant by that. Her
delivery might have been messed up, her delivery might have
been overly emotional. She may be not appreciating you well.
(22:52):
But here's where that's stemming from. It's not okay, but
here's where that's coming from. And here's the best way
to go about having a conversation about it that it
doesn't cause more issues. Easier said than done when an
ain't your own situation. But I've been able to do
that in real time and it's helped. And I do
think that you notice the difference in men not even
that have female like best friends, but just active female
(23:16):
relationships in their life that are healthy, so like with
their mother, with their sister, with their aunts, with their cousins.
Like there's a big difference in men and how they
protect women, how they listen to women, how they and
I think a lot of men too, they're only like
women were only programs, in my opinion, or I know,
(23:37):
at least, I was only programmed to view a man
a certain way, to view a man by what he
can do, how much he can do it financially, physically,
how much he can do like you know, around the house,
that type of thing, and like just you know, like
the leader of the household. Like, but all those things
have so much weight on them. I've never ever been
(23:57):
taught to look at a man like a human who
has feelings, who may be we who may not can't
do ever I had to learn and I'm still learning
that a bit, Like I'm still figuring that out and
what that looks like for me in a relationship and
how I continue to see the man at superman even
when he's vulnerable and allowing him space and say space
(24:18):
to be able to do that. But that comes from
male friends. When I be seeing my male friends go
through things with women, I'd be like, Yo, does she
not know you're? Like how dedicated to her you are,
how much of a good man you were, how much
you're trying. And when I see stuff like that, it
makes me think about how I am on the other
side as the woman dealing with a man. So those
perspectives are important, in my opinion, very important. Now, I
(24:40):
will say I get a little weary with the whole
bestie brother, with that whole thing, because women be lying
and men be full of shit. Okay, I'm not with
all of the like sneaky like. I can't I don't know,
I can't get with that. I do think that as
a woman, my whole thing is is if you have
female friends, I need to meet them. I need to
(25:02):
be around them, because one thing a woman knows is
her man. I can tell and I'll always ask, have
y'all had any type of relationship? Has there ever been
any conversation, any flirtation, any even if physically you guys
have never done anything. Has there ever been anything? Because
the men, I pick up on something and you done
told me something different, it's a rap. You can tell
(25:23):
There's so much you can tell by how people interacts.
This is men or women, by the advice that woman
best friend is giving a man, by you know, how
they interact in person. There are so many different ways
that you can pick up on certain things. So that's
my whole thing. I just want to meet these people,
be comfortable with the situation and you know, all the things.
(25:43):
But once I'm comfortable and I know that this is platonic,
I can trust it. I'm all for you know, the
female relationships, if they're healthy, if they add to like,
you know, the growth and the progression of what you're
trying to get to. Because I do think that men
sometimes don't hear women fully, and I think women don't
hear men fully sometimes. So sometimes you need you know,
you need your allies in the room. You need allies
(26:05):
anywhere you go. You need advocates anywhere you go. And
sometimes that's that's just what it is. Now real quick,
as we wrap up, I do want to give a
shout out to the Emmys. I did it full Emmy's
recap this morning on the Breakfast Club and there was
a lot that went down really quick. In case you
(26:26):
missed it, miss Feliciervshad gave a amazing opening speech in
memorial of Malcolm Jamal Warner. And this was not in
the opening of the show. This was in the opening
of the tribute segment. So at the toward the end
of the Grammys she opened it up and the imagery
of just you know, miss Felicia for Shad and Malcolm
Jamal Warner standing behind her, and and you know the
(26:48):
words she was sharing, and then it went into the
full tribute for him and other people that the television
and film industry have lost this year. Man, it was,
it was, it was. It was a good trip. It
really was. Now. One of the things I didn't talk
about in the Breakfast Club when it comes to the
Emmy was the Boys and Girls Club initiative that they
championed the whole night. Now, I'm not gonna lie. At first,
(27:10):
I was like, this is tragic. Why do they get
these kids here parading them around? Like what is going on?
Like why are they doing this? So and there were
mixed reactions online. So Nate bargets, is that how you
say his name? Wow? That's so crazy. I said his
name right here. When I said it earlier, I could
not get that name right. Nate Bargets, who is SNL
(27:32):
alum comedian, hosted the seventy seventh Emmy Awards this year
in La Right, So when Nate opens the show, he does,
you know, his opening mindologue, They do the SNL thing,
and he comes on and he's like, look, I have
a way to keep people's speeches short. So he begins
to then tell us, and what his way was. He says,
(27:54):
I'll donate one hundred thousand dollars to the Boys and
Girls Club at the end of the night if we
can keep our speed is short. Now, granted, keeping speech
is short at an award ceremony is what you want.
I will tell y'all. I watch the Emmys. I watch
anytime I'm going to report on something, I want to
watch it as much as I can. I watched the
MS last night. It was a very hard watch. And
(28:15):
I don't mean because it was emotional. I mean it
was long and it was born as hell. I tried
my hardest to like be into it. There were certain
points that I got into and there were certain points
that I just I could not get into. Right now.
There was one part of this where you know Nate
is talking about everything he's gonna do for the Boys
(28:37):
and Girls Club, And the point was the speeches needed
to be forty five seconds or less. Whenever the speech
went over, he was going to deduct one thousand dollars
from the money that he was donated to the Boys
and Girls Club, which was cringey to me because I'm like, bro,
you know, everybody goes over and their speeches at the
Emmys or at any award show. Why are you gonna
(28:57):
taunt these kids like that, Like like so, you're just
gonna deduct money that they need right in front of
their face. They also had JB. Smooth there as a
part of this initiative, who is Boys and Girls Club alum?
He is on their you know Hall of Fame Hall
of Fame on their website as well, and JB's Smooth
was a part of, you know, just talking about what
they were doing throughout the full night. So you know,
(29:20):
there were a few times where people were coming right
under or they would notice that they were going over
and they would stop. Like there was one point where
seth rogen got to like thirty nine seconds and it
had to stop. Like people were being very conscious of
it because they didn't want the money to be taken away,
but by the end of the night there was money missing.
It was in the negative. But the good thing about
(29:41):
this though, was that CBS. At the end of the night,
Nate ended up announcing that CBS was actually donated one
hundred thousand dollars to the Boys and Girls Club, and
then he personally put in two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars to the initiative as well, So they walked away
with three hundred and fifty thousand dollars donated to the
Boys and Girls Club. I love anything that has a
purpose behind it, especially Boys and Girls Club initiatives. I'm
(30:03):
also a Boys and Girls Club baby. We spent a
lot of time there. You know. It's just things you
needing your neighborhood like that, a place for kids to
be wearing safe and they can, you know, commune and
fellowship with other children. So shout out to the Emmys
for that. Although I dang there, fell asleep multiple times.
I think Tina Fey was her part was good at well.
I was. I was on my way to sleep while
(30:25):
watching it, and I heard Tina Facey the Beehive gonna
be mad at her and that brought me back. That
one brought me back because, by the way, I feel
like Beyonce or Kendrick Lamar deserved out a word over
SNL fifty. I know SNL is a major institution, developed
a lot of talent, brought a lot of talent, but
I'm gonna tell you right now, I don't think SNL
(30:46):
fifty was that good to win over the other two
things that were in the running forward, you know, Kendrick
Lamar and Beyonce. Hot take here. Let me know how
y'all feel. Take it to the streets. In the tweet,
we outside, were outside, were outside? Okay every other page
because I don't believe so, but Tina Fey kept me,
(31:08):
She kept me alive. I woke back up when I
saw that, and thank god I did, because then I
got through the rest of the show, was able to
see the three hundred and fifty thousand dollars plass the
Boys and Girls Club, wrapped it up, and was able
to wake up this morning and talk about it. So
God is good all the time and all the time. Sophie,
y'all know the end of that. Oh y'all, Sophie, go ahead, Sophie.
(31:29):
Sophie got it okay, And all the time they're like, well,
why you're surprised. Sophie is white, so I didn't know
if she would know, but she got it though all
the time. God is good, y'all. I'm gonna wrap it
up right here. This has been the latest with Laura
La Rosa. At the end of the day, there is
always a lot to talk about, and y'all could be
anywhere with anybody talking about it, but you got shoes
to be right here with me, My lowriders. I will
(31:51):
see you in my next episode.
Twist. I'm a homegirl that knows a little bit about
everything and everybody. I don't know if you don't lie
about that. Right, Hey, y'all, what's up. It's Lauren de
Rosa and this is the latest with Lauren de Rosa.
This is your daily dig on all things pop culture, entertainment, news,
and all of the conversations that shake the room. Now
(00:23):
a ton to get into. We have not been back
here in the studio for some days because Fashion Week
has been driving me insane. It's a good insane though,
so last season, last February, I think one of the
only things I did, or maybe I did two things.
I know, I walked in the Met Theeater show, shout
out to Gabrielle and the Met Feeder team, Met Theeater magazine.
(00:45):
I also attended a like just a few events. I
don't even know if that was fashion Week. For some reason,
the only thing I remember from fashion Week last season,
for those who don't know, would have been February of
twenty twenty five, and you know, would have been September
twenty five. It's a different season. And that just basically
means that the clothes on the runway that they're showing
our different seasons, so you're always showing a season ahead.
(01:07):
So right now, September twenty twenty five, this is the fall.
So on the runway, what we got to see all
of the fashion week shows that I've been to. Within
the last couple of days, they're showing us clothing for
spring summer twenty twenty six, and then in February they
were showing us what was coming for the fall. You
get where I'm going here. Okay, this for all my
people that are not fashion now I've been, you know,
(01:29):
out of studio, please go and visit my YouTube channel.
I know. We did do an audio only episode where
I broke down Harlem's Fashion Row, which was the show
that kicked all fashion week for me. Shout out to
Brandis and her team and foot Locker. Since that event,
we have done so much. I attended Sergio Hudson's show.
(01:52):
I talked about that a bit on the Breakfast Club.
I am a huge, huge, huge advocate for black Designersnumber one,
me being a person. You know, we don't have our
merch live anymore on the website, but me being a
person that designs myself that is into fashion. Myself, I
understand how much it takes to take fabric, to take
(02:13):
an idea, to take a concept, a mood, and an
inspiration board, and to make it a full line of clothing,
a collection. You know how much money it takes, how
much thought you put your babies out there into the world.
So you know, I champion up and coming designers in general,
just because you know, anytime I can give platform, I
love to because when I've been given platforms, It's changed
(02:34):
my life. So I try to do that as I
can for other people, but black designers specifically, because people
always ask me, where does my passion for fashion? Where
does it come from? My mother was a fashion designer.
She was here in New York for some years before
she moved to Delaware and had me. She actually decided
not to go and follow her fashion design dreams and
(02:54):
to move to Delaware, you know, get into flipping housing
and have me, and you just wanted to come to
create a stable life for herself. Because she had been
here in New York for some time. She had done
a few programs at FT, which is a fashion institute here.
She was actually selling clothing in a boutique and it
just wasn't I mean, she was doing well, but in
wanting to start a family from it, it wasn't what
(03:17):
she wanted. She hadn't accumulated enough to be comfortable enough
to bring kids into the world off of her creative
talent of design and clothing. So she turned that into
you know, let me buy property, let me design inside
of the property. My mom, you know, at one point,
was doing everything from land towles on the floor to
building out bathrooms. Like you know, she just took it
(03:39):
from one place to the other. But she needed stability.
And every time I hear her story, I know, she
tells me a story about, you know, almost being able
to go from the boutique that she was selling in
here in New York to putting clothing into Macy's. But
they wanted you to be able to pay for all
of your own inventory, and you had to have a
certain amount of inventory to be able to go in
the store. She didn't really know much about getting loan,
(04:00):
and you know, she just wasn't making enough to be
able to front that cost. So she decided to take
the money that she did have saved up go and
buy property and lean more into that. And I always think,
you know, when I see her sketches, when I see
how excited she gets about my friends who designed and
just different things that I'm doing. What her life would
have been like if she had been able to eat
(04:20):
off of And granted she she ate off of her
creativity to a certain extent, but she had been able
to eat off of being a fashion designer to the
extent where she was able to feel stable enough to
bring kids into the world and do that full time.
I always wonder what my mom's life experience would have
been like. Granted, all things work out under God in
the way that they're supposed to, but that is always
(04:41):
something I think about. And when I see how passionate
I get about, you know, clothing and putting together things
and designing things, like, oh my god, it wows me
to see how something like that can be passed on generationally.
And then I see it in my niece, like I
catch her like sketching things and she's she can just
do so much. And I always think, you know, what
(05:02):
that generational pass down would have looked like if my
mom had put that line in Macy's and that became
you know, the next big I don't know, gap or
H and M or whatever the case may be. Right,
So when I see young designers, especially young black designers,
I try and support as much as I can. I'm
actually wearing a designer right now. I post pictures to
(05:23):
my social media. For all of the audio listeners who
don't see me, can only hear me. And then for
those of you guys that are are looking at me,
you see me. I'm in a spec suit. The brand
is called Wesley New York. I was in a spot
yesterday after I left the Romeo Hunt fashion show called
Saint black On restaurant here in New York. It's in
the city, and when we walked in, there was a brand,
(05:45):
a guy in his team that had like a rack
of clothing set up and they were doing a pop up.
We were just in there eating, you know, eating all
the things. And I was gonna say, eat and drinking.
But who has been a minute since I had a
drink Simona's Fast. But yeah, we were there and he
recognized me from Breakfast Club and came over and said, hey,
you know, would love to give you some things whatever whatever,
(06:06):
And instantly I'm like, yeah, for sure. So this spetsuit
I've had on today, I wore this in our interviews,
you know, full show, just doing as much as I
can because I understand and I respect the hustle, and
I always think, you know, you give somebody that chance
to be able to provide for themselves, it's another chance
that they don't give up on what they're doing because
(06:27):
they need to provide to be able to do it.
So Fashion Week and you know, anything pertaining to that
is always near and dear to me because of all
the backstory I just told you guys, so you know,
just real quick checking in behind the scenes to the grind.
I am just feeling very grateful and very appreciative. I
was out at these shows that I was just talking
to you guys, or some of them. I was talking
(06:48):
to you guys about and you know, from Romeo Hunt,
who dressed me a lot when I was covering the
Diddy trial, to Sergio Hudson, who I met at the
Breakfast Club, who I've always been a really big fan of,
finally got to me. I literally fanned out the first time.
Soergio came to the Breakfast cause I'm like, y'all, do
y'all know who that is? But you know, to being
able to be at his show and He's one of
(07:08):
the big shows at shows at Spring Studios, which is
a you know, a venue that like all of the
popular shows are housed in during New York Fashion Week.
And while they're just you know, running into and seeing
so many different people, like I got to meet Junie Imbrose,
the stylist, I saw Mary J. Blige, Sherry Shepherd is there,
and Stephanie Mills is there. One of the girls from
(07:29):
Love Island walk the runway, Landria from Love Island walk
the runway, and just you know being out and about.
Like even at Romeo Hunt show, you had you know,
fabulous sit in front row, Bust the Rhyme sit in
front row. Da Vinci who plays Tea on BMF the
the fifty cent series sit in front row, row row
Timmy at the Romeo Hunt show as well. And I'm
(07:51):
front row and I'm looking around, I'm seeing all these
people and I'm just in my mind, Like God is
guy has such a funny way of reminding you that
whatever it is for you, whatever realm, whatever conversation, whatever
creative juice you think the world should be feeling from you,
will always find its way to the forefront. And I
was just in you know, these last couple of days,
(08:12):
I've been really appreciating the latest with Laurna Rosa and
you know all my low Riders, a tune in the
Breakfast Club as the platform and just what has been
able to do, you know for me, but it enables
me to do things for other people, like go to
these shows and talk about the shows, so people know
who these the designers are and know how dope they
are and where they're It's just I've had that's been
(08:34):
my experience at fashion Week, Like, yes, we got all
of the craziness. You know. I love seeing the stars
out and I love seeing you. I saw Kids, Supper Returned.
They had a show here in New York. Lauren Hill
was there. Buster Romes was also there as well too.
I saw Actively Black. They did a show where they
brought out Free and AJ and doctor Bernice King who
was the daughter of Martin Luther King Junior and Malcolm
(08:56):
Ex's daughter. They just pay tribute to so much legacy
and so much blackness. I'm probably forgetting some people, man,
I did so much. Oh foot Locker, shout out to
foot Locker. They had a dinner celebrating all of the
muses of New York and I was invited to that
and you know, just the room. It was a very
hand selected room. The women I met that night were amazing.
(09:18):
The dinner was fire. So shout out to you know,
foot Locker and Nike and Worthy of the marketing team
over there. It's just been a really good Oh. I
won't also want to shout out hbcun Y who brought
me out to do several events over the weekend as well,
and they had a Foobu fashion show that they allowed
me to introduce, you know, just bringing the game into
(09:42):
fashion week. I thought that that was really smart as
well too. It's just been a really grateful couple of days.
And I'm a grateful person. I'm always giving things to God,
and y'all hear me talk a lot about just where
I've come from, what I've been able to do. But Lord, yes,
like these last couple of days has made me grateful
for everything. I even found myself one day just sitting
(10:04):
and being grateful for I mean, I've always been grateful
for my journey at TMZ, but being extremely grateful for it,
like beyond words grateful for it, just like thinking about
how God has put me in positions that I couldn't
even have dreamt of, nor could I ever just applied
for as a job, you know what I mean, Like
(10:26):
just really great positions that have prepared me for like
next steps. When I ran into Sherry Shepherd at Sergio
Hudson's show, you know, she was pouring into me. It
was really fast, but we got to talk of it,
and she did this when she came to the Breafast
Club too. But you know her words were like, and
keep doing what you're doing, but you know, remember that
this is going somewhere for you. What you do and
(10:49):
how you do it, as you hone it, as you sharpen,
this is going somewhere for you. And I know it's tough.
Y'all see the Breakfast Club and y'all see the things
that we do there, and I don't think people unders then.
Coming from a newsroom, I'm used to having a team
for the producers who also do what I do, reach
out on news break stories. I'm used to having a
full developed research team that corrects you on everything from
(11:12):
pronunciation to factual checks to they keep you up to
date in the moment they're yelling and screaming things out
as they change video editors like the team and the
dynamic is so different. What I love about the Breakfast
Club is, you know, we're a smaller team, but we're
all learning together. They're teaching me about radio and how
the Breakfast Club has been able to be the engine
(11:32):
it has been for the last fifteen years, and I'm
teaching them. You know, my perspective coming from a newsroom,
but a lot of those safeguards I don't have anymore.
So I don't have in ears in with you know,
producers feeding me information and all of that. So when
I'm on air, when I'm preparing my stories, it is
just me. The pressure of that. Lord y'all don't understand.
(11:53):
And it for I would say, right before I started
this fast, which is what pushed me into the fast,
it has started to get to me. Like when I
would mess up, I would be so on my head
about it for weeks and weeks and week. It would
throw my energy off in the room, and you know,
just so many things. And I think that's natural. I
think as platform grows and your notoriety grows, and you know,
(12:16):
if you really care about what you do, like I'm
an artist, like people are like, oh, you're a journalist.
I'm a storyteller, right. I can tell stories across many
different verticals. This is just where you guys are meeting
me right now. But because I care about this, and
because I care about that, I take everything to heart.
Not that I harp on what people say, but more so,
it's just like I've learned things at a set standard
(12:38):
that I want to keep it at, but also want
to go above that. So whenever i feel like I'm
not doing that, I do get really hard on myself.
And she was reminding me. She literally said to me,
Sherry Shepherd said to me, I know you don't have
everything behind you. I know when that might goes up,
it's just you and it feels like that and even
it and I'm like, well, no, I got producers. She's
(13:00):
like yes, but for what you do, it's very hard
to have a team that you know is fully trained
the way you are trained. And now that I'm in
the talk show space, I understand that. Like it. It's different.
When you turn on that mic, it is you, When
you prepare that segment, it is you. The responsibility of
that is very very heavy, but take it and stride.
(13:23):
You can't be perfect things will happen, but remember you
are going somewhere. Don't let it stop you. And she
was just telling me that, you know, I'm doing a
really good job and stuff like that matters to me
so much because again, I care about this. This is
my career, this is going to be you know, this
is this is this is my thing, this is one
(13:44):
of my things. But this is the vehicle that's gonna
get all the other things moving. But also too, It's
just you know, when you see people doing things at
a heighten a level where you want to get to
you listen, like, you know, I want to remain a
student forever. But I don't know. I just went on
that tangent Lord Have mercy, but that was a bit
about Fashion Week. Yeah, I just I'm grateful for the invites.
(14:06):
There was a lot of like shows that we wanted
to RSVP for or RSVP Ford and didn't hear back.
Like we didn't get into the Wang Show, which was
kind of crazy to me because I work a lot
with Alexander Wang. But there was a lot of things
that we didn't get to do firsthand. But the things
that I did get to do, it was like God
had me everywhere I was supposed to be and looking
good while doing it. Okay, couldn't ask for nothing better
(14:29):
but to be preordained and covered and favored by God
and look good while doing it. Okay, Clockett, That's all
you can ever ask for. So you know, fashion week
was fire. But yes, we have not been in studio.
I've been doing a lot of my recap videos for YouTube.
Make sure you check those out. It's Laura the Rosa
TV on YouTube. All of my fashion week stuff is
there and across my socials. Speaking of fashion week, Cardi
(14:59):
went uptown. She you know, took it back to the
bodegas during fashion week, and tons and tons and tons
of people came out. There were thousands and thousands of
people out there, yo, Like it was like Michael Jackson Mayhem,
like the days of like real superstar celebrities, Like you
can't even walk down the street. It was insane. But
(15:21):
while out there, there was a content creator who asked
Cardi a question and I thought her answer was kind
of like very emotionally mature, and I want to figure out,
you know, do y'all agree with her? Because I slightly
agree with her. Let's take a listen. Would you let
your boyfriend have a girl best friend, Yes, because it's
like sometimes you need advice from a female. So when
(15:41):
you fuck up, a female's gonna tell you the children
where you puck up. When me and him have issues, Okay,
I can take me out the hood. I see trying
to make it out. I was about to go back
in the hood. If y'all buy my Hunble Child. Cardi
B has been pushing his album and She and Today
actually uh, it's two forty six pm Eastern end of
time on November November, sho I wanted to be my
(16:03):
birthday so bad. September fifteenth, In about fifteen minutes, Cardi
B's interview with Kelly Rowling will drop and I'm just
going Carti B is killing the rollout. Has always done that,
Like Carti has always been very conscious of her rollouts.
I will say though her rollouts, like for instance, a
(16:24):
rollouts she did for invasion or privacy, I felt like
that was like, I mean, she's always been touching her fans,
stays on social all that, but that was very high level,
like it was all of the visuals and the photo shoots,
and you know, she does her thing every time she
hits any season or any location at Fast Week. This
feels like Carti felt like in her mind she needed
(16:47):
to get back. She's been connected with her fans, but
like she needed to like touch the people for real,
for real. So she has all the photo shoots, the
you know, all of the all the things I just said,
the fashion week stuff and all that. She's been running
around Fashion Week as well. I saw her and culture
at Alexander Wang, you know. I saw her also at
the Galore magazine party with Tokyo Styles. I was actually
(17:10):
at that party. But this feels like old school Carti
set the camera up, get back outside. That's literally what
this feels like. And it's working, and it's honestly showing
and reminding people why we love Carti, but also what
superstardom really feels like, right, Like when people feel like
they know you, but like they can't touch you or
(17:32):
get to you, like the old school celebrity way. It
feels like that and I love to see it. But
getting back to her answer, so, originally, when I heard
this audio and I heard her answer, I'm like, yes,
I have two male best friends that I don't even
call them like my best friends. I call one of
them my best friends. But to be honest with you,
(17:52):
like we family, Like those are my brothers, Like we
are family for real. It's been years of us being
family and like you know, knowing each other's lives and
you know, all the things. And there are a lot
of times where even if my opinion is not asked,
because I'm good for inserting something where it's not asked,
(18:12):
do I have to pause that? No, I don't gotta
paused that because I can insert things if they okay. Yes,
But a lot of times I'm in their business, and
even if I'm not purposely in their business, maybe I
overhear something or they mentioned something. As a woman, I react,
And I've always been very honest with them about because
(18:32):
here's my thing as a woman who's been in relationships
where I was being lied to, I was being cheated on,
I was being you know, under not appreciated, I wasn't
being you know, taught what I wanted to learn or
being led. But also as a woman being in a
relationship who hasn't always been right either, Like I've lied
as well, I've cheated as well. I've been you know,
(18:55):
not the best partner as well. I begin to realize
is you know, the it appreciate the male perspective in
my life. So I give them my female perspective very honestly,
because even when they don't want to hear it, I
know they appreciate it because I'm the same way when
they tell me something. So you know, there's been situations
(19:16):
where my male friends will mention things or say things
and I'm like, wait, what you did, what you said,
what you responded to her? Like, especially when it comes
to their like, you know, relationships and like, you know,
one of my best friends is engaged, should be married. Like,
There's been a lot of times where I've had to
be like, yeah, I feel you, but like I don't
(19:36):
really feel you though, because as a woman, here's where
that's coming from, and you're never going to see or
understand this perspective. So I'm gonna give it to you.
And another thing too, is I think you know when
you hear that, there's a lot of people who will
say I'm my business. I don't get involved in my friends' relationships,
and to a certain extent, I do, especially certain friends.
But if it's a relationship that I feel like there
(19:56):
is progression within, there's a chance for growth you know
there's a change, and especially if the person wants the information,
that's where I insert it. And a lot of times
it's like, as a man, even if you have the
greatest relationship with your partner, with your wife, with your girlfriend, right,
you may not hear things the way she needs you
(20:19):
to hear it. You may not. And even if you
hear it, like I'm not talking about the physical act
of hearing something. I'm talking about hearing to comprehend, understanding,
and have empathy or feel. A lot of times men
don't do that and women do the same thing. I
learned from having male friends that women we are horrible
at really understanding are men. And really, I was gonna
(20:44):
say taking care of our men, but I know the
women listening to that, like, girl, what taking care of
our men? What? No? I mean taking care of our
men as in not even nurturing. I think that naturally,
as women we nurture. But just oh, Charlemage's wife said
the perfect thing to me one time, being it's a
(21:05):
safe space, providing a safe space and being there and
showing up for them just as people. A lot of
times I think women we deal with men as the
men we've been programmed for them to be. We've never
learned how to really take care of a man, that is,
you know your men, right, like a lot of us haven't.
(21:25):
And even if we have by your mom, your grandmother, whoever,
you relearn and unlearn a lot of things because your
men and your household is conducted completely different than what
they're used to right. And when I say that, I
mean like I was having a conversation and one of
the things she said to me. I was talking about,
you know, some things, and I think you know, me
and Bay were we were back and forth about something,
(21:46):
a little argument, and the first thing she said to
me was, but are you creating a safe space though?
And I had to think about it and I'm like, yeah,
you know, I think I am. And she's like, well
you thought about it? What was the hesitation? I was like,
you know, I had to think about what, say space
is even supposed to look like and feel like. I
know what I want my safe space to look like
and feel like. But I'm not a man. I'm not
(22:07):
dealing with the things that he deals with in the
world every single day. So I had to really sit
back and like think about, like, you know, what are
some of the things that are happening in his life
right now, What are some of the things that he's
dealing with on a day to day You know what
am I hearing him talk about complaining about? Or just
where are the spaces that I feel like there's a
void of like you need the support or sometimes not
even just support like an action, but just like somebody there.
(22:32):
And I think that's the biggest thing with having platonic
male and female relationships. And I think that's what Carti's
speaking to. It's like as a woman when I'm telling
my guy friends, no, she needs you to pull up
this way. No, here's what she meant by that. Her
delivery might have been messed up, her delivery might have
been overly emotional. She may be not appreciating you well.
(22:52):
But here's where that's stemming from. It's not okay, but
here's where that's coming from. And here's the best way
to go about having a conversation about it that it
doesn't cause more issues. Easier said than done when an
ain't your own situation. But I've been able to do
that in real time and it's helped. And I do
think that you notice the difference in men not even
that have female like best friends, but just active female
(23:16):
relationships in their life that are healthy, so like with
their mother, with their sister, with their aunts, with their cousins.
Like there's a big difference in men and how they
protect women, how they listen to women, how they and
I think a lot of men too, they're only like
women were only programs, in my opinion, or I know,
(23:37):
at least, I was only programmed to view a man
a certain way, to view a man by what he
can do, how much he can do it financially, physically,
how much he can do like you know, around the house,
that type of thing, and like just you know, like
the leader of the household. Like, but all those things
have so much weight on them. I've never ever been
(23:57):
taught to look at a man like a human who
has feelings, who may be we who may not can't
do ever I had to learn and I'm still learning
that a bit, Like I'm still figuring that out and
what that looks like for me in a relationship and
how I continue to see the man at superman even
when he's vulnerable and allowing him space and say space
(24:18):
to be able to do that. But that comes from
male friends. When I be seeing my male friends go
through things with women, I'd be like, Yo, does she
not know you're? Like how dedicated to her you are,
how much of a good man you were, how much
you're trying. And when I see stuff like that, it
makes me think about how I am on the other
side as the woman dealing with a man. So those
perspectives are important, in my opinion, very important. Now, I
(24:40):
will say I get a little weary with the whole
bestie brother, with that whole thing, because women be lying
and men be full of shit. Okay, I'm not with
all of the like sneaky like. I can't I don't know,
I can't get with that. I do think that as
a woman, my whole thing is is if you have
female friends, I need to meet them. I need to
(25:02):
be around them, because one thing a woman knows is
her man. I can tell and I'll always ask, have
y'all had any type of relationship? Has there ever been
any conversation, any flirtation, any even if physically you guys
have never done anything. Has there ever been anything? Because
the men, I pick up on something and you done
told me something different, it's a rap. You can tell
(25:23):
There's so much you can tell by how people interacts.
This is men or women, by the advice that woman
best friend is giving a man, by you know, how
they interact in person. There are so many different ways
that you can pick up on certain things. So that's
my whole thing. I just want to meet these people,
be comfortable with the situation and you know, all the things.
(25:43):
But once I'm comfortable and I know that this is platonic,
I can trust it. I'm all for you know, the
female relationships, if they're healthy, if they add to like,
you know, the growth and the progression of what you're
trying to get to. Because I do think that men
sometimes don't hear women fully, and I think women don't
hear men fully sometimes. So sometimes you need you know,
you need your allies in the room. You need allies
(26:05):
anywhere you go. You need advocates anywhere you go. And
sometimes that's that's just what it is. Now real quick,
as we wrap up, I do want to give a
shout out to the Emmys. I did it full Emmy's
recap this morning on the Breakfast Club and there was
a lot that went down really quick. In case you
(26:26):
missed it, miss Feliciervshad gave a amazing opening speech in
memorial of Malcolm Jamal Warner. And this was not in
the opening of the show. This was in the opening
of the tribute segment. So at the toward the end
of the Grammys she opened it up and the imagery
of just you know, miss Felicia for Shad and Malcolm
Jamal Warner standing behind her, and and you know the
(26:48):
words she was sharing, and then it went into the
full tribute for him and other people that the television
and film industry have lost this year. Man, it was,
it was, it was. It was a good trip. It
really was. Now. One of the things I didn't talk
about in the Breakfast Club when it comes to the
Emmy was the Boys and Girls Club initiative that they
championed the whole night. Now, I'm not gonna lie. At first,
(27:10):
I was like, this is tragic. Why do they get
these kids here parading them around? Like what is going on?
Like why are they doing this? So and there were
mixed reactions online. So Nate bargets, is that how you
say his name? Wow? That's so crazy. I said his
name right here. When I said it earlier, I could
not get that name right. Nate Bargets, who is SNL
(27:32):
alum comedian, hosted the seventy seventh Emmy Awards this year
in La Right, So when Nate opens the show, he does,
you know, his opening mindologue, They do the SNL thing,
and he comes on and he's like, look, I have
a way to keep people's speeches short. So he begins
to then tell us, and what his way was. He says,
(27:54):
I'll donate one hundred thousand dollars to the Boys and
Girls Club at the end of the night if we
can keep our speed is short. Now, granted, keeping speech
is short at an award ceremony is what you want.
I will tell y'all. I watch the Emmys. I watch
anytime I'm going to report on something, I want to
watch it as much as I can. I watched the
MS last night. It was a very hard watch. And
(28:15):
I don't mean because it was emotional. I mean it
was long and it was born as hell. I tried
my hardest to like be into it. There were certain
points that I got into and there were certain points
that I just I could not get into. Right now.
There was one part of this where you know Nate
is talking about everything he's gonna do for the Boys
(28:37):
and Girls Club, And the point was the speeches needed
to be forty five seconds or less. Whenever the speech
went over, he was going to deduct one thousand dollars
from the money that he was donated to the Boys
and Girls Club, which was cringey to me because I'm like, bro,
you know, everybody goes over and their speeches at the
Emmys or at any award show. Why are you gonna
(28:57):
taunt these kids like that, Like like so, you're just
gonna deduct money that they need right in front of
their face. They also had JB. Smooth there as a
part of this initiative, who is Boys and Girls Club alum?
He is on their you know Hall of Fame Hall
of Fame on their website as well, and JB's Smooth
was a part of, you know, just talking about what
they were doing throughout the full night. So you know,
(29:20):
there were a few times where people were coming right
under or they would notice that they were going over
and they would stop. Like there was one point where
seth rogen got to like thirty nine seconds and it
had to stop. Like people were being very conscious of
it because they didn't want the money to be taken away,
but by the end of the night there was money missing.
It was in the negative. But the good thing about
(29:41):
this though, was that CBS. At the end of the night,
Nate ended up announcing that CBS was actually donated one
hundred thousand dollars to the Boys and Girls Club, and
then he personally put in two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars to the initiative as well, So they walked away
with three hundred and fifty thousand dollars donated to the
Boys and Girls Club. I love anything that has a
purpose behind it, especially Boys and Girls Club initiatives. I'm
(30:03):
also a Boys and Girls Club baby. We spent a
lot of time there. You know. It's just things you
needing your neighborhood like that, a place for kids to
be wearing safe and they can, you know, commune and
fellowship with other children. So shout out to the Emmys
for that. Although I dang there, fell asleep multiple times.
I think Tina Fey was her part was good at well.
I was. I was on my way to sleep while
(30:25):
watching it, and I heard Tina Facey the Beehive gonna
be mad at her and that brought me back. That
one brought me back because, by the way, I feel
like Beyonce or Kendrick Lamar deserved out a word over
SNL fifty. I know SNL is a major institution, developed
a lot of talent, brought a lot of talent, but
I'm gonna tell you right now, I don't think SNL
(30:46):
fifty was that good to win over the other two
things that were in the running forward, you know, Kendrick
Lamar and Beyonce. Hot take here. Let me know how
y'all feel. Take it to the streets. In the tweet,
we outside, were outside, were outside? Okay every other page
because I don't believe so, but Tina Fey kept me,
(31:08):
She kept me alive. I woke back up when I
saw that, and thank god I did, because then I
got through the rest of the show, was able to
see the three hundred and fifty thousand dollars plass the
Boys and Girls Club, wrapped it up, and was able
to wake up this morning and talk about it. So
God is good all the time and all the time. Sophie,
y'all know the end of that. Oh y'all, Sophie, go ahead, Sophie.
(31:29):
Sophie got it okay, And all the time they're like, well,
why you're surprised. Sophie is white, so I didn't know
if she would know, but she got it though all
the time. God is good, y'all. I'm gonna wrap it
up right here. This has been the latest with Laura
La Rosa. At the end of the day, there is
always a lot to talk about, and y'all could be
anywhere with anybody talking about it, but you got shoes
to be right here with me, My lowriders. I will
(31:51):
see you in my next episode.
