Speaker 1 (00:02):
I'm a homegirl that knows a little bit about everything
and everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
You know, if you don't lie about that, right, Lauren
came in. Hey, y'all, what's up. It's Laura l. Rosa
and this is the latest with Laura l. Rosa.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
This is your daily dig on all things pop culture, entertainment, news,
and all of the conversations that shake the room.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Baby, Listen, we are in an.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Era where I feel like a lot of our iconic
television shows. When I say our, I mean black people,
all us, a lot of our iconic shows, our music,
and a lot of our just icons across the board
and all you know, types of creative and influential industries
(00:45):
are getting their flowers. And I think what we owe
that too is the fact that you don't have.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
To wait for anybody to do it anymore.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
We don't have to wait for the award shows to remember.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
And get it right.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
We don't have to wait for the magazines to decide
to drop you know, these feature pieces and honor our
heroes on the front of their magazines. And it's no
neck to those award shows, to those magazines. But I'm
just talking about the beauty of social media and honestly
the beauty of podcasting, you know, but the latest with
(01:18):
Laura Morosa, the beauty of podcasting and just the beauty
of content creation.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Right now in the space that it's in.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
We talk a lot about how any and everybody having
a microphone being able to get on the internet express
an opinion has become dangerous and has become very like
clouded and saturated.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
But I want to talk about.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Today the beauty and the blessing in that, the blessing
that it is for Erica Alexander and Kim Coles to
be able to create a podcast called the Reliving Single
Podcast where they sit down and they talk about and
dissect Living Single as a show, the episodes, the characters,
(01:58):
the storylines, the crew, the moments that we had no
idea even happen, the personal moments that we had no
idea that happened between the cast and their personal lives.
And it has been such a beauty watching people begin
to give, you know, like I said, the icons and
the legends that I'm speaking of, their flowers because you
(02:19):
get to relive certain things and stories and honestly even
relive hard times with them, but from their own voices,
their own perspectives literally from their own platforms.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
So today we're going.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
To kick off the latest talking about the Reliving Single
podcasts because Queen Latifa graced the podcast and they discussed
and broke down so many of their favorite episodes and
you know, just so many different things that And y'all
know Queen Latifa, she don't do a lot of the
press and the talk and the things, but it was
(02:55):
a beauty to see her in this space because instantly
you felt the chemistry of living single, You felt the friendship,
you felt the automatic cues and the timing, and all
they were doing was literally just having a conversation. But
it was so natural and it just made you remember
good quality storytelling because just in their natural state reminiscing
(03:18):
and revisiting various moments and times of the show in
their careers, it was so entertaining. And these women are
i mean, pillar of the entertainment industry and in their
perspective lanes of what they do operating at all time high.
So of course it is going to be that. But
we talk a lot about and I know I've talked
(03:38):
a lot to people about just really right now in entertainment, they're.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Not being a lot of stars.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
And when I watch this podcast episode with Queen Latifah
and saw the chemistry between the ladies and the natural
conversation and all the things I just mentioned, I'm like, man,
we are so far from this, but it gives you
hope that if you're a dreamer, if you're young, if
you have a vision, and you've got a good group
of people around you who are also young, talented, vision focused, talented, talented,
(04:08):
talented and just willing to take a chance, you know
what I mean, maybe you could bring that beauty back.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
So let's get right on into it.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
So Queenla Tifa sat down with Erica Alexander and Kim
Coles for the Reliving podcast and they talked about, you know,
just the building and the basis of living single. And
one of the things that I found that was so
interesting was that Queen Latifa actually had no idea or
she couldn't fathom the thought that a television series for
(04:37):
a music artist in her time was even possible until
Will Smith did what he did with his show Let's
Take a Listen.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
If I can recall correctly, because these was many manys ago,
many moves, I was a rapper as you know, because
y'all pretty much taught me everything I know about acting.
I was rapping and it was you know, me and
shot Kim.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
We on tour.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
We went out with Will Smith a lot. He had line,
so we became like family out there on the road
for months. At the time, I was seventeen eighteen, I
was like eighteen, no, eighteen week eighteen babies. Yeah, But
when Will got his TV show, that's when it became
like an actual possibility. And I wasn't really thinking about
a TV show until Will got one. And then when
Will did it, We're like, Will got a TV show
(05:21):
and Will can do it?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
We can do it.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
So we just started kicking around ideas like how can
we make this happen? That was the next step. But
then still being on the road on a tour bus.
One of our favorite shows was Living Color.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Of course and hearing that because I think for anybody
that you know didn't grow up in that time period
and didn't really feel how Martin and Will Smith, Fresh
Prince of bel A or how those shows actually change.
The Cosby Show changed how people saw black people, but
also the trajectory of what we were able to do
(05:53):
in our own storytelling. Whenever I hear these stories, I'm like,
I can't imagine like it's like today, even though we
we still got a lot of work to do. I
can't imagine a world without Fresh Prince of Bella, or
without Martin, or without Living Single, without in Living Color.
But they were doing it. They were in it, hanging
with mister Cooper. So to hear her say that she
(06:15):
didn't even think it was possible for her, I'm like,
didn't think it was possible for you. I can't imagine
the world without you doing that without set it off.
And she also talked too in this about just the
hustle and bustle that she was experiencing Queen Latifa in
her career at that time, while you know, also very
early on morning the death of her brother and not
(06:36):
being fully over that. But everybody on the crew and
the people she was working with made it the same
place for her, especially Kim Coles, and I, oh my god,
I just now I understand the sisterhood of the two
leading ladies of that show, Queen Latifa and Kim Cole's,
and that these characters in essence weren't characters. This is
(06:56):
who they really were. The loving, nurturing. I got to
you don't got to worry about nothing. Character that Kim
Cole's played in Living Single was hurt in real life
to Queen Latifah, let's take a listen to that.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
It's interesting that Kim always talks about the home that
y'all made together in the quick change room, because being
sad is like being in another home, right, so she
tell about the change.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
Talking about so remind everybody that you know on a
set so that you don't have to go all the
way back out to your trailer.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Because we had trailers.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Uh, we had these quick change boots and they are
designed so that you can go in and quickly change
into the next outfit for the next scene. You all
were each separated, but for some reason, they never separated
our room.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
That's a weird.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
I wanted to make it seem safe, say they would,
because you guys were the leads.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
No, they kept us together. I provided a place where
you get.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Y'all have a whole conversation.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
Have a whole conversations would make it good.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
And striking up conversations.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
So she'll be like, did you see this?
Speaker 5 (07:54):
And I remember I was doing what you saying? You
couldn't striking the conversations.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
I'll talk too much.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
You're trying to say, I wanted you to feel it
home because you like they might be a little home homesick,
because I.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Was definitely homelocke. And then she gets into the hustle
on bustle.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
I mean she said for at least a month straight,
she wasn't even sleeping.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
And then I just remember I got the role, and
but I worked like thirty days straight at one point
because I couldn't get the time off from the show
and do the movie. So at some point I had
to like just go back and forth.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
But I think one of the most you know, vulnerable
moments I've ever seen Queen Latifa in was this moment
right here when she talked about the death of her
mother and just experiencing that and in real time while
also you know, at this point she's Queen Latifa, and
there's career and there's all these things, but it doesn't
(08:46):
change what she was experiencing in real life.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
We actually have not talked about in the very serious way.
We haven't talked about your mother's passing because it snuck
up on her. And I want to make sure that
we talk about the disease and the sign so people
don't know that this exists because this is something that
actually and I applaud you because you did a documentary
I looked at scare the hell out of me.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Yeah, scary stuff. Yeah, she had she had some things
going on. So she had something called sclaroderma which kind
of went undiagnosed and you can't really get the oxygen
that you need, so she just passed out in class
one day and that was the beginning of this journey
of trying to figure out what was going on because
(09:30):
we didn't know. She finally got a diagnosis of for sure,
diagnosis of this sclaroderma. Her heart was being treated and
it instantly started to come back. So I think that
people should definitely, you know, see their doctors and not
play around with it, you know.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
So my mother actually retired at fifty.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
It was like she couldn't keep that pace of what
she was doing and have and figure out what was
going on with her whole body at the same time time.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
This is very weird to.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Talk about because I don't really talk about this. Thank
you for sharing because you shared her with us so
beautifully on the show and in our lives and thank you.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
For sharing that.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Yeah, shared my whole life. She belonged to everyone, and she.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Did a great job because she's if you're here at
she's here.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Man, I just I just hope that. And anytime I
am in the space where I'm watching or getting the
interview or getting to learn from talent of this cloth,
of this elk, this cloth, you know, this is this
is cloth talk right here. It's a little different when
you're talking about legends and icons like Queen Latifa.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Right.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
The thing I always think about is like and I
pray about, it's like, God, please allow me to touch
people in my work the way that a person like
a Queen Latifa has, because we go through our day
to day every day just head down doing the work,
regardless of what we're going through. When you're really dedicated
(11:06):
to something, and even if you don't know the passion
and the purpose, or if you know the passion but
you don't know your purpose behind your work.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
And I battle with that a lot because.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Entertainment news can be very like fluffy report the story
you move on. I always struggle with is it impactful
and if so, how, But when I hear people like
Queen Latifa talk about what she was going through behind
the scenes with her mother and how it impacted her,
and then prior to that, she talks about just how
her mom was like her biggest supporter and shaped her
(11:37):
and taught her and allowed her to be expressive and creative.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
And all of those things.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
It just makes me think about space, like what space
is my life creating for other people, Because again, seeing
a Queen Latifa running magazine and in Living Single was like, Oh,
I could do this, Yeah, we can bring brown gar
grinding can be for uction company because Khadijah had a
(12:03):
magazine and Living Single. So I mean, I just you
just gotta really sometimes sit back and just thank God
for everything that you were able to actually see and
experience in real life. To see these women sit down
(12:24):
and have this conversation and to be able to talk
about it and just you know, taking the gyms and
I'm not even witnessing in a real time. I was
watching this like God, thank you for this, Thank you
for this podcast. Thank you for everything that I'm feeling
and the warmth I'm feeling just from watching it, even
in like the darker moments where they expressed some of
the things they went through in real life, because Erica
Alexander was also experiencing death in her life while working
(12:48):
on a living single and you never you don't know
when you're pouring yourself into something despite what you're going through,
what it does for other people. And these women, I
feel so connected to them. It's just like Girl Friends
and any other show man or women women like Martin
Fresh Prince. I feel so connected to these shows because
it's like, because of these shows, I felt like, Okay, Hollywood,
(13:11):
I'm coming, you know what I mean, I'm packing it
up and I'm heading there.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
So yes, I want it. End the podcast. I know.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
In our last episode, please go check it out if
you have not already, I talk to you guys a
bit about Wendy Williams and some new reports that came
out about whether she has frontal temporal dementia or not.
These new neurologists that she tested with independently outside of
the conservatorship are saying that she does not. And I
told you guys, I owed you some you know, answers
(13:36):
on that I've been trying. Still don't have them, but
I promised to bring them to you right back here.
But another thing I'm investigating currently is the fact that
Diddy's release date has gone from May twenty eighth, twenty
twenty eight, to June of twenty twenty eight, according to
the Bureau of Prisons website. So I'm trying to get
more information as to why didn't even talk about this
(13:57):
on the Breakfast Club yet, because I want to be
able to provide some answers as to why this is happening.
There's a lot of speculation right now that it's you know,
caused from the reporting that he had gotten in trouble
for through a phone call, which I am told from sources,
you know, family sources, that was a phone call between
him and his attorneys. But I'm trying to figure that
out now. When I get that, I will bring that
(14:18):
right back here to you guys as well. In the meantime,
please make sure you go and check out that full
episode of the Reliving Single podcast with Erica, Alexander and
Kim Coles.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
I'll catch you guys in my next episode at the
end of the day.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
I tell y'all any single time you guys are here
with me, my lowriders checking in with me, because y'all
could be anywhere else. Listening and talking about all these topics.
But y'all are right here with me at the latest
with Lornda Rosa. I appreciate you, guys. I'll catch you
guys in my next episode.
I'm a homegirl that knows a little bit about everything
and everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
You know, if you don't lie about that, right, Lauren
came in. Hey, y'all, what's up. It's Laura l. Rosa
and this is the latest with Laura l. Rosa.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
This is your daily dig on all things pop culture, entertainment, news,
and all of the conversations that shake the room.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Baby, Listen, we are in an.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Era where I feel like a lot of our iconic
television shows. When I say our, I mean black people,
all us, a lot of our iconic shows, our music,
and a lot of our just icons across the board
and all you know, types of creative and influential industries
(00:45):
are getting their flowers. And I think what we owe
that too is the fact that you don't have.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
To wait for anybody to do it anymore.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
We don't have to wait for the award shows to remember.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
And get it right.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
We don't have to wait for the magazines to decide
to drop you know, these feature pieces and honor our
heroes on the front of their magazines. And it's no
neck to those award shows, to those magazines. But I'm
just talking about the beauty of social media and honestly
the beauty of podcasting, you know, but the latest with
(01:18):
Laura Morosa, the beauty of podcasting and just the beauty
of content creation.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Right now in the space that it's in.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
We talk a lot about how any and everybody having
a microphone being able to get on the internet express
an opinion has become dangerous and has become very like
clouded and saturated.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
But I want to talk about.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Today the beauty and the blessing in that, the blessing
that it is for Erica Alexander and Kim Coles to
be able to create a podcast called the Reliving Single
Podcast where they sit down and they talk about and
dissect Living Single as a show, the episodes, the characters,
(01:58):
the storylines, the crew, the moments that we had no
idea even happen, the personal moments that we had no
idea that happened between the cast and their personal lives.
And it has been such a beauty watching people begin
to give, you know, like I said, the icons and
the legends that I'm speaking of, their flowers because you
(02:19):
get to relive certain things and stories and honestly even
relive hard times with them, but from their own voices,
their own perspectives literally from their own platforms.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
So today we're going.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
To kick off the latest talking about the Reliving Single
podcasts because Queen Latifa graced the podcast and they discussed
and broke down so many of their favorite episodes and
you know, just so many different things that And y'all
know Queen Latifa, she don't do a lot of the
press and the talk and the things, but it was
(02:55):
a beauty to see her in this space because instantly
you felt the chemistry of living single, You felt the friendship,
you felt the automatic cues and the timing, and all
they were doing was literally just having a conversation. But
it was so natural and it just made you remember

(03:18):
and revisiting various moments and times of the show in
their careers, it was so entertaining. And these women are
i mean, pillar of the entertainment industry and in their
perspective lanes of what they do operating at all time high.
So of course it is going to be that. But
we talk a lot about and I know I've talked
(03:38):
a lot to people about just really right now in entertainment, they're.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Not being a lot of stars.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
And when I watch this podcast episode with Queen Latifah
and saw the chemistry between the ladies and the natural
conversation and all the things I just mentioned, I'm like, man,
we are so far from this, but it gives you
hope that if you're a dreamer, if you're young, if
you have a vision, and you've got a good group
of people around you who are also young, talented, vision focused, talented, talented,
(04:08):
talented and just willing to take a chance, you know
what I mean, maybe you could bring that beauty back.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
So let's get right on into it.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
So Queenla Tifa sat down with Erica Alexander and Kim
Coles for the Reliving podcast and they talked about, you know,
just the building and the basis of living single. And
one of the things that I found that was so
interesting was that Queen Latifa actually had no idea or
she couldn't fathom the thought that a television series for
(04:37):
a music artist in her time was even possible until
Will Smith did what he did with his show Let's
Take a Listen.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
If I can recall correctly, because these was many manys ago,
many moves, I was a rapper as you know, because
y'all pretty much taught me everything I know about acting.
I was rapping and it was you know, me and
shot Kim.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
We on tour.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
We went out with Will Smith a lot. He had line,
so we became like family out there on the road

was like eighteen, no, eighteen week eighteen babies. Yeah, But
when Will got his TV show, that's when it became
like an actual possibility. And I wasn't really thinking about
a TV show until Will got one. And then when
Will did it, We're like, Will got a TV show
(05:21):
and Will can do it?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
We can do it.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
So we just started kicking around ideas like how can
we make this happen? That was the next step. But
then still being on the road on a tour bus.
One of our favorite shows was Living Color.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Of course and hearing that because I think for anybody
that you know didn't grow up in that time period
and didn't really feel how Martin and Will Smith, Fresh
Prince of bel A or how those shows actually change.
The Cosby Show changed how people saw black people, but
also the trajectory of what we were able to do
(05:53):
in our own storytelling. Whenever I hear these stories, I'm like,
I can't imagine like it's like today, even though we
we still got a lot of work to do. I
can't imagine a world without Fresh Prince of Bella, or
without Martin, or without Living Single, without in Living Color.
But they were doing it. They were in it, hanging
with mister Cooper. So to hear her say that she
(06:15):
didn't even think it was possible for her, I'm like,
didn't think it was possible for you. I can't imagine
the world without you doing that without set it off.
And she also talked too in this about just the
hustle and bustle that she was experiencing Queen Latifa in
her career at that time, while you know, also very
early on morning the death of her brother and not
(06:36):
being fully over that. But everybody on the crew and
the people she was working with made it the same

I just now I understand the sisterhood of the two

and that these characters in essence weren't characters. This is
(06:56):
who they really were. The loving, nurturing. I got to
you don't got to worry about nothing. Character that Kim
Cole's played in Living Single was hurt in real life
to Queen Latifah, let's take a listen to that.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
It's interesting that Kim always talks about the home that
y'all made together in the quick change room, because being
sad is like being in another home, right, so she
tell about the change.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
Talking about so remind everybody that you know on a
set so that you don't have to go all the
way back out to your trailer.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Because we had trailers.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Uh, we had these quick change boots and they are
designed so that you can go in and quickly change
into the next outfit for the next scene. You all
were each separated, but for some reason, they never separated
our room.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
That's a weird.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
I wanted to make it seem safe, say they would,
because you guys were the leads.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
No, they kept us together. I provided a place where
you get.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Y'all have a whole conversation.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
Have a whole conversations would make it good.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
And striking up conversations.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
So she'll be like, did you see this?
Speaker 5 (07:54):
And I remember I was doing what you saying? You
couldn't striking the conversations.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
I'll talk too much.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
You're trying to say, I wanted you to feel it
home because you like they might be a little home homesick,
because I.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Was definitely homelocke. And then she gets into the hustle
on bustle.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
I mean she said for at least a month straight,
she wasn't even sleeping.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
And then I just remember I got the role, and
but I worked like thirty days straight at one point
because I couldn't get the time off from the show
and do the movie. So at some point I had
to like just go back and forth.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
But I think one of the most you know, vulnerable
moments I've ever seen Queen Latifa in was this moment
right here when she talked about the death of her
mother and just experiencing that and in real time while
also you know, at this point she's Queen Latifa, and
there's career and there's all these things, but it doesn't
(08:46):
change what she was experiencing in real life.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
We actually have not talked about in the very serious way.
We haven't talked about your mother's passing because it snuck
up on her. And I want to make sure that
we talk about the disease and the sign so people
don't know that this exists because this is something that
actually and I applaud you because you did a documentary
I looked at scare the hell out of me.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Yeah, scary stuff. Yeah, she had she had some things
going on. So she had something called sclaroderma which kind
of went undiagnosed and you can't really get the oxygen
that you need, so she just passed out in class
one day and that was the beginning of this journey
of trying to figure out what was going on because
(09:30):
we didn't know. She finally got a diagnosis of for sure,
diagnosis of this sclaroderma. Her heart was being treated and
it instantly started to come back. So I think that
people should definitely, you know, see their doctors and not
play around with it, you know.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
So my mother actually retired at fifty.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
It was like she couldn't keep that pace of what
she was doing and have and figure out what was
going on with her whole body at the same time time.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
This is very weird to.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Talk about because I don't really talk about this. Thank
you for sharing because you shared her with us so
beautifully on the show and in our lives and thank you.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
For sharing that.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Yeah, shared my whole life. She belonged to everyone, and she.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Did a great job because she's if you're here at
she's here.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Man, I just I just hope that. And anytime I
am in the space where I'm watching or getting the
interview or getting to learn from talent of this cloth,
of this elk, this cloth, you know, this is this
is cloth talk right here. It's a little different when
you're talking about legends and icons like Queen Latifa.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Right.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
The thing I always think about is like and I
pray about, it's like, God, please allow me to touch
people in my work the way that a person like
a Queen Latifa has, because we go through our day
to day every day just head down doing the work,
regardless of what we're going through. When you're really dedicated
(11:06):
to something, and even if you don't know the passion
and the purpose, or if you know the passion but
you don't know your purpose behind your work.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
And I battle with that a lot because.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Entertainment news can be very like fluffy report the story
you move on. I always struggle with is it impactful
and if so, how, But when I hear people like
Queen Latifa talk about what she was going through behind
the scenes with her mother and how it impacted her,
and then prior to that, she talks about just how
her mom was like her biggest supporter and shaped her
(11:37):
and taught her and allowed her to be expressive and creative.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
And all of those things.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
It just makes me think about space, like what space
is my life creating for other people, Because again, seeing
a Queen Latifa running magazine and in Living Single was like, Oh,
I could do this, Yeah, we can bring brown gar
grinding can be for uction company because Khadijah had a
(12:03):
magazine and Living Single. So I mean, I just you
just gotta really sometimes sit back and just thank God
for everything that you were able to actually see and
experience in real life. To see these women sit down
(12:24):
and have this conversation and to be able to talk
about it and just you know, taking the gyms and
I'm not even witnessing in a real time. I was
watching this like God, thank you for this, Thank you
for this podcast. Thank you for everything that I'm feeling
and the warmth I'm feeling just from watching it, even
in like the darker moments where they expressed some of
the things they went through in real life, because Erica
Alexander was also experiencing death in her life while working
(12:48):
on a living single and you never you don't know
when you're pouring yourself into something despite what you're going through,
what it does for other people. And these women, I
feel so connected to them. It's just like Girl Friends
and any other show man or women women like Martin
Fresh Prince. I feel so connected to these shows because
it's like, because of these shows, I felt like, Okay, Hollywood,
(13:11):
I'm coming, you know what I mean, I'm packing it
up and I'm heading there.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
So yes, I want it. End the podcast. I know.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
In our last episode, please go check it out if
you have not already, I talk to you guys a
bit about Wendy Williams and some new reports that came
out about whether she has frontal temporal dementia or not.
These new neurologists that she tested with independently outside of
the conservatorship are saying that she does not. And I
told you guys, I owed you some you know, answers
(13:36):
on that I've been trying. Still don't have them, but
I promised to bring them to you right back here.
But another thing I'm investigating currently is the fact that
Diddy's release date has gone from May twenty eighth, twenty
twenty eight, to June of twenty twenty eight, according to
the Bureau of Prisons website. So I'm trying to get
more information as to why didn't even talk about this
(13:57):
on the Breakfast Club yet, because I want to be
able to provide some answers as to why this is happening.
There's a lot of speculation right now that it's you know,
caused from the reporting that he had gotten in trouble
for through a phone call, which I am told from sources,
you know, family sources, that was a phone call between
him and his attorneys. But I'm trying to figure that
out now. When I get that, I will bring that
(14:18):
right back here to you guys as well. In the meantime,
please make sure you go and check out that full
episode of the Reliving Single podcast with Erica, Alexander and
Kim Coles.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
I'll catch you guys in my next episode at the
end of the day.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
I tell y'all any single time you guys are here
with me, my lowriders checking in with me, because y'all
could be anywhere else. Listening and talking about all these topics.
But y'all are right here with me at the latest
with Lornda Rosa. I appreciate you, guys. I'll catch you
guys in my next episode.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
