This week, Loren LoRosa is back in the studio after an unforgettable run through BET Awards weekend, Essence Festival, and exclusive interviews—and she's reflecting on the inspiration she's bringing into this next chapter.
Then, Loren dives into the biggest stories making headlines:
-The Cheetah Girls are officially returning! Raven-Symoné announces The Cheetah Girls: Next Gen, and Loren explains why the franchise means so much to an entire generation.
-Pour Minds takes over Club Shay Shay. Loren breaks down Lex and Drea's viral interview with Shannon Sharpe, from their inspiring podcast journey to the conversations about dating standards, money, and building a successful brand.
-The Daphne Joy debate. Loren reacts to the discussion surrounding double standards women face in media, why Black women are often judged differently, and the online backlash that followed.
As always, Loren mixes pop culture with thoughtful commentary, sharing personal insights on purpose, ambition, boundaries, and what it really means to build something from the ground up.

It's Laura and Rosa and this is another episode of
the Latest with Laura Rosa. This is your daily digg
on all things pop culture, entertainment, news and all of
the conversations that shake the room.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Baby. Now today we are back with an episode.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
I know I've been giving you guys a lot of
conversations that shake the room, because lord, we have been
all over the place. But today I want to get
into some news in real time. Y'all know, before we
get into the Latest, we always check in behind the
scenes of the grind.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
So let's do it all, are y'all.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
So we came back off of that long break that
the Breakfast Club took, but you guys didn't even feel
it over here, because of course I kept the episodes
coming here on the podcast The Latest with Lauren Rosa,
And thank you guys for tuning in. We've done numbers
across the episodes, even across social Uh. My conversation with
deb Antony that exclusive sit down a really in depth one, honestly,
(01:04):
and she doesn't do much of those has picked up
very well, and I've received a lot of feedback just
from people who love the interviews that we do here
at the Latest.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
So I hear you, guys. I appreciate you, guys.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
I see y'all on social all in the comments, hash
check low Riders whenever I'm posting things from the podcast.
So keep doing what y'all do, because it lets me
know what y'all like and what y'all want to hear.
I'm not even gonna lie to you guys though. This
week getting back to work at the Breakfast Club after
being technically out of work at the Breakfast Club for
a week, even though we were still working. We were
(01:36):
at Essence Festival, we were at the BT Awards.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
It's been a little rough.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
I ain't gonna hold y'all like, you know, getting up
out of bed at four fifteen, four thirty in the
morning on a good day when I ain't running late,
and just you know, there's a lot of mental preparation
that I try and do now before I hop on
the mic for The Latest with Lorna Rosa, whether it's
here on the podcast or on the Breakfast Club. And
a big part of that is because I don't know,
(02:02):
like I feel like seeing how people who are doing
this at a really high level and have been for
some years that are very successful, like Envy, Charlomagne, Oprah.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
And y'all know.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I watch a ton of podcasts too, so I'm watching,
you know, people do this at such a high level
all the time. The feeling that I get when I
walk away from watching them do what they do is
the feeling that I want the people to get. And
I think over this last week of me ripping and
running at all these different places and getting to interact
with all of you guys in real life, I'm really
(02:38):
grateful and I'm really appreciative. And I tell y'all that
every episode, and I don't just do it because it's
our tagline and how we wrap up the podcast. It's
really a true meaning, Like I'm honestly grateful to be
on this journey to learn and to understand where my
voice sits in the world of all of the media
and all of the things. So that that impact that
(02:59):
I feel watching these greats that I mentioned and listening
to these grapes that I mentioned, it's the same thing
that you guys feel every single time you press played
on an episode here on the Lates, along the Roads
of the podcast, the breakfast Club, the view, wherever you
see me at, I want you to feel that. So
there's a different mindset, there's a different flow state I
have to tap into, you know, just to keep myself.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Not a lot.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
I wouldn't say keep myself align because I feel like,
you know, God does that, Like that is like a
divine thing that is not anything that human or man
can control.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
It's more so.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Just making sure I'm quieting the noise to understand the
why not understand, but to always put the why any
intention first, regardless of we just having a good time,
we're doing a little key key, we getting all in
the business.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Just understanding that.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
So, you know, coming back into this week of work
and not really having.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
The break of it, I had to like really use.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
And pull from all of the people that I met
and all the experiences I've had over this last week
to do that. And I think one of my favorite
things that I like ever ever ever, like people think
I just like being out and ribbon and running because
Brono grinding is the motto, and you know, we on
the grind, right now and we building and this is
the season for that. But no, it energizes me and
(04:19):
it keeps me going. Like I told y'all, it was
for anybody else, having a full week off and having
to get back up at four a m. Again right
after that and really not really taking a break honestly,
would have been difficult. But for me, what I'm out
and about and I'm talking to you guys, and I'm
getting to see, like what it is that you care about,
what impacts you that we care about or we talk about,
(04:41):
and just the excitement and the joy. I asked the
question all the time on this podcast, especially in the
earlier days of it.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Are we impacting people?
Speaker 5 (04:51):
Like?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
It's what I'm doing every single day, leaving an impact
that people can really feel.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
And I think when I'm out and about, I feel that.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
And it's what I'm trying to to say in so
many words, because y'all know I can get wordy, is
that the motivation and the inspiration now is really felt
when I'm on the ground, when I'm outside with the folks.
So that's why I love bringing those conversations back here
to you guys.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
When I do have them and get a chance to
experience them.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Because if I feel the motivation, the inspiration and the
push to keep going, keep dreaming, keep figuring all the
things out, I want you guys to feel that as
well too. I'm back, Baby, We are back on the
podcast Bring you the Latest. Let's get on into it. Oh,
talk about being outside and all of the things. Cheetah Girls,
(05:36):
the Cheetah Girls, and I don't know how depends on
how old you are if you're listening to this right now,
the Cheeta Girls movie is back, baby.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
The Cheeter Girls are reassembling.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
So Raven Simone, Disney Channel, Star Entrepreneur Icon. In my opinion,
Raven Simone announced that Cheeta Girls for is happening, so
it will be with Raven Simone in the original cast.
So yes, Raven Simone, Adrian Baylon, Sabrina, Brian Lynn, Whitfield Alter,
they are all coming back. At the time, Keighley is
(06:09):
not attached. Williams is not attached to the film. I
wasn't really surprised about that, to be honest, but it
would have been nice to see your end. I think
it would have been nice to see all the girls together.
But if you've been following, you know, her journey post
Cheetah Girls and post some of the Disney Channel stuff.
You know, there have been some hiccups there, so so yeah,
but anyway, the movie is coming back. It's going to
(06:31):
be called The Cheetah Girls Next Gin and it was
officially greenlit right as Raven Simone broke the news. So
the storyline for the film is picking up right when
the Cheetah Girls, Galeria who's played by Raven Simone and
Chanell who's played by Adrian Bailon, they have kids and
(06:53):
their daughters, Faith, who was new to the franchise, and
her three friends traveled Africa to volunteer at a wildfire
wildfire sanctuary. At a wildfire sanctuary. Now along the way
of all of this volunteering and the traveling, the four
girls test their friendship, find their voice, and discover the
true Cheetah Girl spirit as they preserve and ultimately take
(07:15):
the stage as the new Cheetah Girl. So this is
Raven Simone's second return to Disney Channel as one of
her previous characters. You guys will remember she did Raven's Home.
I think it was like, yeah, it was five or
six seasons. It was six seasons of Raven's Home in
twenty seventeen, and that went on from twenty seventeen to
about twenty twenty three, and that was a spin off
(07:39):
of that So Raven, which is another archives show that
is just like the essence of a lot of our childhoods.
Like the Unks are so excited because this weekend jay
Z is in New York. He got the three shows
at Yankee Stadium. It's gonna be lit, Okay. But when
I see them get excited and they talking about laying
they outfits out and can't wait the same the songs
(08:00):
and all that, I get it. But you know, we
encountered jay Z, like we didn't grow up on him
because the Yunks is old, Okay, we encountered him eventually
later in our lives and through lessons and through interviews
and through the love of entertainment and hip hop and
all the things. But I understand what it's like to
grow up on something because let me tell you this,
there are two moments in its last two weeks that
(08:21):
made me realize what staple feeling in moments from youth
and impact really are in entertainment.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
And it gave me small things.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Right, like you don't gotta be solving some of the
biggest world problems. Sometimes it's just putting a good feeling
and a comfort feeling in somebody's heart that will last forever.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
And I know that's what hip hop and music does
for people.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
But let me tell you all about the two moments
when I went to the BT Awards and Lauren Hill
was honored and they.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Sung Joyful, Joyful from Sister Act two.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I used to sing that movie down you could, I
tell me I was not in that movie. That was
one of the like I remember watching and singing along
with that movie and seeing all those black kids on
the screen in Lauren Hill and being like, y ooh,
this is dope, like rap hip hop is in a movie.
Like at a young age, I understood why the crossover
of that was so phenomenal and so fire and just
(09:08):
how big that movie was. And then the Cheetah Girls
Disney Channel and seeing these young black girls, it was
almost like the feeling of Mosha, Like seeing these young
black girls in this you know, mainstream pop culture space
and you know, having a good time telling stories, make
your friends laugh and singing, dancing and learning all the
songs and singing along with them.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Yeah, it's it's it. It hit home.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
And I know a lot of y'all probably like, oh,
that's about the Cheeta girls, Lauren. It's one of them things.
If you know, you know, ain't nothing for you I
can do if you don't know, if you know, you know.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
So I'm excited to see that.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Honestly, I'm excited too to just see the world, the
world's reaction once it actually drops. There was a big
reaction when Raving someone made the announcement, and she had
been trying for some years to just like stay in
contact with cast I remember she was doing like Instagram
lives with some people and you know what I mean,
we we've been waiting on these things and now and
finally here. So there's that. Speaking of the girls being
(10:07):
outside our sisters. Over at the Poor Minds podcast, Lex
Andrea sat down with Shannon Sharp on Club Shasha. First
of all, I'm really proud of them, I do you know,
in this podcast space, I'm always honest with you guys
about the fact that we are on a journey, like.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
We are.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
A little over our first year in the podcasting game
and learning you know, us as a community.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Me y'all, the low Riders, the low Rider family.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
So I love watching other podcasters build out and elevate
and just see how they maneuver in business. And you
guys know, I did Poor Mind's live show here in
New York when they came. Great experience, but I was
there just watching them and see how like seeing how
they you know, brought things from the podcast onto the
live stage, and how production went down, and how people
(10:58):
like I mean people knew everything down to the slogans
that they open and close their podcast with with. And
being a person who has always loved talk shows and
wanted a talk show and we got the latest, I
understand that, like I understand the tagline, I understand the marketing,
and I understand the branding around that. But to see
it in real life, like to be listening to a
(11:20):
podcast for some time and to watch it grow than
to see in real life, it's just beautiful to see.
And now these girls are on this press run, you know,
talking about the podcast in our lives, and what I
love the most is that these were two regular girls,
college graduates, fine ass girls who just chose the dream,
got together and were consistent and figured it out. And
they talked about that on the episode and in the
(11:43):
motivation that that gives them. This is such a I
told y'all, I come off of these trips and all
these outings very motivated and inspired. This is such a
motivation motivational episode. Let's tay could listen to Lex and
Dref from Poor Minds talk about just the building of
their podcast over the years and being a regular girls
I popped out to do it.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
How has this been amazing?
Speaker 6 (12:03):
Like, I feel like he's been an instrumental part of
our career because he kind of gave us the opportunity,
you know what I mean, when we were still filming
at my apartment, before we were ever even in the studio,
he pulled up to my apartment.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
And recorded with us, yeah, living room.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
And then like a.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
Few years later, the show grown, the show grown, the
show had grew a little bit more, and then he
you know, offered for us to come on eighty five South.
So we went on eighty five South and that really
like catapulted our show to another level because I think
that episode got like a million views in like two
or three days. Yeah, and so that helped us get
(12:45):
a lot more viewership. And then they ended up asking
us did we want to sign to them because they
were trying to start a management company and we were
going to be the first people that they signed, so
they signed us.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
We was kind of like the.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
Guinea pigs a little bit, but it ended up working
out amazing lead and Carlos and eighty five Souths have
just been such a blessing in our lives with the show.
Speaker 7 (13:06):
They really cleaned up our business too, Like we didn't
know what we're doing, what we were doing, but they
have taught us so much. And like we were getting
so many no's, and Carlos was the one yes, and
it's crazy because all them nose came back like, hey,
when that finishes up, y'all can come over here. We're
like no, yeah, so's and we're proof that all you
(13:26):
need is one yes. I'm cool with all these noes
because I know once I get that one yes, now this.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
One, this, this next topic. Because the interview was like
they talked it was a three hour long interview, a
little bit over three hours, honestly, almost like three and
a half hours they talked about or was it two
and a half child. It was a long interview, but
it didn't feel long because it felt like you were
just listening to them go down the line of like
topics and stuff like that on their show. So and
(13:55):
Shanton Sharp was smart. So in the beginning of the
interview they opened up. They talk a lot about their
journey themselves, how they how they formed the podcast, got
the business going, their mindsets, so it really helped you
understand them because then they went into their takes on
different topics. Right, so they get into Daphanie Joy and
if you guys are not familiar with who that is,
that is the mother of fifty cents youngest son, Seer
(14:16):
sire Seer. She was in a relationship with Diddy and
they're more recently, not too long ago.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Was a sex tape that leaked of her and Diddy doing.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
One of the freak offs that we've heard so much
about with the red lights with a male escort, went
super viral. And now Daphanie Joy has been on this
press run it's like business. I don't know what the
business she's in, like if that's really booming, because she's
the only fans girl. She says that it is, But
she's been on press runs that I don't think would
have been possible without that sex tape being posted and
(14:46):
the boar minds girls got into that. Let's say listen,
women are always judged more harshly when it comes to
anything that we do. A black woman who was in
that situation wouldn't be on a press run right now,
if I'm being honest.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
People wouldn't be invited her on the show. They'll be like,
she's a slack. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (15:05):
I think this just goes to show what we deal
with as black women, you know.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
And this is no shade to Daphne.
Speaker 7 (15:11):
I think when you have a moment, you take it
and that's what you want to you know, she's on
Cam Newton podcast.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
That's an ad.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
I know an ad when I see one. I'm not
mad at her, that's what you're supposed to do. But
seeing the.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Reaction of people the way they treat her.
Speaker 7 (15:25):
Even there ain't no tapes outside of me and Drea
doing nothing, but the way people act towards.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Us, just because we talk about.
Speaker 7 (15:32):
Our dating experience, yes, and we get treated like, oh
my gosh, you would have thought that we killed somebody's
mother or something like our fun they moment even with
like how the way they treat making a stallion, you know,
because of her lyrics or things like that, and it's
like they treat us like we are just the worst thing.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Ever, then you have this woman who has a sex
safe she getting not one but two niggas. Ain't no,
that's what you like to do, whatever the situation may be.
Speaker 7 (15:59):
But they're like, oh, you see how feminine she is
and how soft and how beautiful and all this and that.
It's just like, are y'all for real right now? Y'all
dad are But this is like I said, no shade
of her. It's very it's just interesting. Yeah, it's interesting.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
Arry, go ahead.
Speaker 6 (16:17):
I was just gonna say, like, I feel like we
haven't seen a black woman be in a situation like
that and get the same type of attention and know the.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Right Well, she ain't gonna become no billionaire if that's
what you're asking, Well, she said.
Speaker 7 (16:28):
She was like when people are comparing her to Kim
Kardashi and she was like, I love that, That's what
she said.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Well, I hope you get a product line. I hope
you get a skincare line and come out.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
With some uh skims of what it skims and.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Spain and I guess they call it dance.
Speaker 6 (16:46):
What is it is crazy.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
To be like no.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Completely, I said that about the conversations they had, you know,
even I mean and mind you their podcast is like
it's just like girl talk honestly, Like they mixing trend
to topics and stuff like that. But it really feels
like you just with your homegirls having a good time,
having a good conversation. But they do get into relationship
stuff and sexual things that they're not afraid of that
at all.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
And they're very beautiful girls. The bodies be boughdy in. Okay.
I love the poor mindes girls.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
I love Lexandrea because in real life they're real girls
like and y'all like, what does that mean? Gott to
clarify that in twenty twenty six, I don't mean none
the crazy stuff. What I mean by that is like
it's not like their caricatures of themselves, like in real life.
They're fun. They're girls girls. They like they have a
good time. They're like a good key key, a good drink,
a good you know. I love girls who are like ambitious,
(17:44):
get to the money, got their brands together, can figure
it out, but also cute fashion, can pop out, have
a good time, then get back to the business.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Really like the essence of brown gar grinding.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Is that so the way sometimes that I see people
react to their podcasts talk about them, I'm like, that's
so insane to me because some of our biggest influential
celebrities started like everything with sex space and I know
people instantly bring up like Kim Kardashian in this situation
like this, and I know that in the beginning, Kim
(18:16):
Kardashian wasn't. It wasn't what it was now, Like I
remember Kanye having a goal off on people because he
would be invited to different fashion things and they wouldn't
want her in a room because she was the reality
started with the sex tape, but she was able to
overcome it and build really, really really big business from it.
And when I look at podcasts like Call Her Daddy
(18:37):
and things of that nature, I compare to like conversations
that people have about also the horrible decisions podcasts as
well too, which is also like girls talk very they
get sexual. There are a lot more sexual than a
poor minds, it's honestly, but there's a thing there, and
I think a lot of times it's black when when
we point out certain things that we feel within ourselves
(19:00):
that like it's unspoken word, like it's you don't even
got to say it amongst us, we just know. But
when you say it out loud, people hate to hear
you express what you're actually going through, as if you
don't understand what was happening to you in real time.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Right.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
So, Yeah, they got a lot of pushback for this clip,
and I'm glad that they stood ten toes down on it.
Like I saw a lex post in response to it,
Like I knew that y'all was going to be calling
me everything but a child of God once its interview dropped.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Interview was great though, in my opinion.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
They also talked about women having standards and how people
try to make women feel bad for having standards about
who and how they date. That's saicularten.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
So you said, you guys, like when you were younger,
you felt a sense of entitlement that you were entitled
to a guys that have a certain level.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
Yeah, now do you no longer feel that way? Is
there a.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Certain number that you feel a guy should make or
need to make in order, because like you said, you
guys have your own now, so you don't have to
accept anything.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
Yeah, I feel.
Speaker 6 (19:58):
Like we just at least need to be equally old.
You need to at least be making what I'm making
are better? Yeah, fag So I need a big daddy.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Yeah, yes, that's what I'm looking for.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
So I guess with that. Ain't nobody splitting no bills?
Speaker 3 (20:22):
You know?
Speaker 4 (20:24):
No?
Speaker 6 (20:25):
I mean, I will say this. I used to say that,
but I do feel like once you get to a
certain level of money, who really cares. That's why I
don't think rich people have conversations about that.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
I ain't rich.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
He don't think rich couples like when the woman is
making money and the man is making a lot of money,
I don't think they're arguing about who paying a.
Speaker 7 (20:41):
Light view literally, like, I think those conversations about splitting
the bills are so like.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
I think it's for people who need to sweep the bills, right,
And that's okay, there's nothing wrong with splitting the bills.
But the type of lifestyle that I imagine myself whenever I'm
heard and I'm having care, yeah, that's not what I've
ever imagined for myself. It's not gonna be like, oh
my gosh, I paid it this month, you pay just
take it out the pie.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
There's a lot more where that came. Were gonna have
a joint of Grandma?
Speaker 5 (21:05):
Oh we are? Oh yeah yeah yeah, we gonna have
a yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. Okay, I
just check it, just like it on the same pain
because this ain't no gumbo.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
I'm gonna keep the shrimp and over over here.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, I feel you. Yeah, everything a
gonna be in one pie. I agree.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
But what happened because it seems to me and I
could be wrong, and if I'm wrong, guys correct me.
Speaker 5 (21:37):
Whatever happened to growing with a man?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
A man doesn't have anything, he's planning, and you watch
him and y'all grow to together. It seems now everybody
wants already already grown the fruit. I can just go
pick the apples or the pears or whatever the case,
the fruit already.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
Nobody wants to grow anymore.
Speaker 6 (21:54):
I do think that that's a little messed up that
people have that mentality these days.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
But I don't know, as a one in my thirties.
Speaker 6 (22:01):
You should be built, you should be grown already, like
because I feel like, what have you been doing all
this time?
Speaker 3 (22:07):
At thirty five?
Speaker 6 (22:08):
Like and just saying if I'm dating somebody that's the
same age as me, Like, what have you been doing
all this time to where I.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Need to work with you while you build.
Speaker 6 (22:18):
I think that when women are in their twenties, that's
unreally stick because y'all are both trying to figure things out. Yes,
and I'm not saying that we still can't grow together.
And yeah, you should still, but you should have something
that you already coming with. I shouldn't just be over
here like okay, well he got to get it together.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Let me just say nothing.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
I don't think nobody should be able to get it together.
Look if we right out of college or you know, hey,
I'm trying to grow this right here.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
Okay, this is what we try to do.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
But I agree, I mean, but sometimes it's really hard
because sometimes it takes people longer than others.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
Sometimes, where some people can figure.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
It out twenty two, some people maybe at twenty five,
some people might take them thirty. It's kind of like maturing.
Some kids mature a lot sooner than others. Yeah, if
something like with them, he's mature at thirteen, fourteen, and
here you are twenty five and you still ain't mature.
Speaker 6 (23:06):
Yeah, And I do I think it's different when you're
growing with a person that you've been with for a lot. Yeah,
even if something is to happen, because you have situations
where a woman is with a man and he's doing amazing,
and yeah, something ends up happening in his life altering,
and then y'all are not in the same financial space
that y'all once were in, and you gotta, you know,
be there for him while he gets it back, get
back on the seat, you can get it back to
(23:26):
where it was. I think that's okay, and that's understandable,
especially in a marriage.
Speaker 7 (23:31):
Yeah, I just feel like when it comes to these
money conversations, they tough.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
It really is extremely interesting.
Speaker 7 (23:39):
But I also feel like when you're in a relationship
like being like this ride or not everything like they
try to put on black women, they make us feel
so bad for it.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
But again, I'm about to be thirty seven.
Speaker 7 (23:50):
Yeah, okay, I'm not saying that you have to be
worth you know, a million dollars, but also.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
You gotta have some money coming somebody got to be
they gotta be worth the these to be.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
Who you fooling?
Speaker 6 (23:59):
Well, you see who said that and who need Okay,
but this is what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (24:05):
Though, you have to have some money coming in, because
my thing is, we are in this age where everybody's like, oh,
I want to start from the bottom and I want
to grind.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
I want to go get it.
Speaker 7 (24:15):
Hey, when I quit my job when poor Minds was
taking off, they literally had to force me out that job.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
They were like, you can't.
Speaker 7 (24:22):
Be here no more, you don't have the time. And
I was like, I want my consistent shape. Yes, y'all
have to follow your dreams and go to work. Nobody
that's not supporting themselves. So I do think that, like, yeah,
you can ride or die with somebody or whatever you
want to do, hold it down, but y'all need to
be making some money.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
Yeah, but we need to be riding full times.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
I died a.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Lot and shout out to the people out here doing
all the things. Like honestly, like I that is, I
tell my male friends all the time. I admire men
because men are really good about setting their boundaries when
it came to dating, relationships, friendships work. They set their
boundaries well and they stick to it. They compartment compartmentalize
(25:09):
and they do like I feel like women compartmentalize too,
But sometimes it's more for protection. Maybe men do it
for protection as well too, but the way that men
do it it allows them to like manipulate and get
the best out of every any situation. And I don't
always feel like for I'm just speak for myself as
a woman. I don't always feel like me compartmentalizing does
that for me. I do feel like I know very
(25:30):
well how to work a room and work a situation,
but I don't feel like my boundaries are as strong
sometimes when it comes to certain things like work, like
relationship boundaries as I've seen men in my life be,
and how beneficial that is for them, Like even a
conversation of like like they were talking about in relationships
(25:51):
right like what they want and not being allowed to
say that, but take it back to the workplace, Like
I think men in the workplace know when they're not
getting what they deserve and they're not afraid to say
it right in the air and nip it in the butt.
Let's get straight to it. Women, it's like we have
to navigate the politics. Like there's so much politics and
so many different compartments of our life, Like there's politics
(26:13):
in dating and finding your person.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
You can't be too much. But you don't want to
be belittled.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
You can't act like you own a table and you
brought the table even though you might have. Because you
want a man and his eve and all the things
to feel good. But at the same time, you want
to feel good about yourself. And I've always heard people
say the right work situation, the right man shoot, even
taking it out of relationships like boyfriend girlfriend girlfriend girlfriend, boyfriend, boyfriend, whatever,
(26:41):
taking it out of that, just taking it even to friendships.
I've always heard people say people will only treat you
how you allow them, and people will only treat you
how you feel like you deserve to be treated. But
a lot of times as a woman, you won't allow
certain things. Once we get to the point where we
are finally standing on the boundaries or you know that
you deserve certain things, you'll be working toward it. You'll
(27:03):
be talking about it, and you still got to play
the politics. You still gotta dance, you still got to
play the game. Sometimes it's just different for us. I
make that very clear with all of the men that
I work with all the time, especially because my job
is so vocal and there's a lot of times where
you know I'm in different rooms and men are like,
you should speak out about this. You got the platform,
(27:23):
and I'm like, you can do that as a man.
But for me, even if I do do it, I
have to sit and think through so many different things
that men don't think about, like the sensitivity of things.
Men think about that completely different and they have the
privilege to, like child is a whole lot that goes
into it.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
But this interview I thought was.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Very It was a great interview, a great way to
interview personalities because it was an interview and we learned
a lot about them, but we also got to hear
and see them do their thing in real time.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
It was literally like a crossover episode.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
It felt like the Poor Mind's podcast took over Upshase
shape for a crossover episode. And that's eventually how they
ended up titling the interview when they posted it, probably
because they felt that way. So shout out to them.
Make sure you guys going to check that out. It
is now live on the Club Chase Share YouTube Channel
U with Shannon Sharp. So yeah, we take a listen, y'all.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
We did it. We're back.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
This was our first fresh episode of the week. Everything
else has been I've been outside. I ain't been in
the studio in a minute. Not fresh, I just haven't
been in the studio on a minute, y'all, Like we're back.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
It's Laura the Rosa.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
This has been another episode of the Latest with Laura
the Rosa, your daily dig on all things pop culture, entertainment, news,
and all of the conversations that shape the room. I
tell you, guys, every episode. I really appreciate y'all. Y'all
could be anywhere with any old body talking about all
of the things, but you choose to be right here
with me, my low riders. I'll catch you my next episode.
I'm a homegrow that knows a little bit about everything
and everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
You know, if you don't lie about that, right Lauri, Hey, y'all,
what's up.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
It's Laura and Rosa and this is another episode of
the Latest with Laura Rosa. This is your daily digg
on all things pop culture, entertainment, news and all of
the conversations that shake the room.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Baby. Now today we are back with an episode.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
I know I've been giving you guys a lot of
conversations that shake the room, because lord, we have been
all over the place. But today I want to get
into some news in real time. Y'all know, before we
get into the Latest, we always check in behind the
scenes of the grind.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
So let's do it all, are y'all.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
So we came back off of that long break that
the Breakfast Club took, but you guys didn't even feel
it over here, because of course I kept the episodes
coming here on the podcast The Latest with Lauren Rosa,
And thank you guys for tuning in. We've done numbers
across the episodes, even across social Uh. My conversation with
deb Antony that exclusive sit down a really in depth one, honestly,
(01:04):
and she doesn't do much of those has picked up
very well, and I've received a lot of feedback just
from people who love the interviews that we do here
at the Latest.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
So I hear you, guys. I appreciate you, guys.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
I see y'all on social all in the comments, hash
check low Riders whenever I'm posting things from the podcast.
So keep doing what y'all do, because it lets me
know what y'all like and what y'all want to hear.
I'm not even gonna lie to you guys though. This
week getting back to work at the Breakfast Club after
being technically out of work at the Breakfast Club for
a week, even though we were still working. We were
(01:36):
at Essence Festival, we were at the BT Awards.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
It's been a little rough.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
I ain't gonna hold y'all like, you know, getting up
out of bed at four fifteen, four thirty in the
morning on a good day when I ain't running late,
and just you know, there's a lot of mental preparation
that I try and do now before I hop on
the mic for The Latest with Lorna Rosa, whether it's
here on the podcast or on the Breakfast Club. And
a big part of that is because I don't know,
(02:02):
like I feel like seeing how people who are doing
this at a really high level and have been for
some years that are very successful, like Envy, Charlomagne, Oprah.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
And y'all know.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I watch a ton of podcasts too, so I'm watching,
you know, people do this at such a high level
all the time. The feeling that I get when I
walk away from watching them do what they do is
the feeling that I want the people to get. And
I think over this last week of me ripping and
running at all these different places and getting to interact
with all of you guys in real life, I'm really
(02:38):
grateful and I'm really appreciative. And I tell y'all that
every episode, and I don't just do it because it's
our tagline and how we wrap up the podcast. It's
really a true meaning, Like I'm honestly grateful to be
on this journey to learn and to understand where my
voice sits in the world of all of the media
and all of the things. So that that impact that
(02:59):
I feel watching these greats that I mentioned and listening
to these grapes that I mentioned, it's the same thing
that you guys feel every single time you press played
on an episode here on the Lates, along the Roads
of the podcast, the breakfast Club, the view, wherever you
see me at, I want you to feel that. So
there's a different mindset, there's a different flow state I
have to tap into, you know, just to keep myself.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Not a lot.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
I wouldn't say keep myself align because I feel like,
you know, God does that, Like that is like a
divine thing that is not anything that human or man
can control.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
It's more so.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Just making sure I'm quieting the noise to understand the
why not understand, but to always put the why any
intention first, regardless of we just having a good time,
we're doing a little key key, we getting all in
the business.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Just understanding that.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
So, you know, coming back into this week of work
and not really having.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
The break of it, I had to like really use.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
And pull from all of the people that I met
and all the experiences I've had over this last week
to do that. And I think one of my favorite
things that I like ever ever ever, like people think
I just like being out and ribbon and running because
Brono grinding is the motto, and you know, we on
the grind, right now and we building and this is
the season for that. But no, it energizes me and
(04:19):
it keeps me going. Like I told y'all, it was
for anybody else, having a full week off and having
to get back up at four a m. Again right
after that and really not really taking a break honestly,
would have been difficult. But for me, what I'm out
and about and I'm talking to you guys, and I'm
getting to see, like what it is that you care about,
what impacts you that we care about or we talk about,
(04:41):
and just the excitement and the joy. I asked the
question all the time on this podcast, especially in the
earlier days of it.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Are we impacting people?
Speaker 5 (04:51):
Like?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
It's what I'm doing every single day, leaving an impact
that people can really feel.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
And I think when I'm out and about, I feel that.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
And it's what I'm trying to to say in so
many words, because y'all know I can get wordy, is
that the motivation and the inspiration now is really felt
when I'm on the ground, when I'm outside with the folks.
So that's why I love bringing those conversations back here
to you guys.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
When I do have them and get a chance to
experience them.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Because if I feel the motivation, the inspiration and the
push to keep going, keep dreaming, keep figuring all the
things out, I want you guys to feel that as
well too. I'm back, Baby, We are back on the
podcast Bring you the Latest. Let's get on into it. Oh,
talk about being outside and all of the things. Cheetah Girls,
(05:36):
the Cheetah Girls, and I don't know how depends on
how old you are if you're listening to this right now,
the Cheeta Girls movie is back, baby.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
The Cheeter Girls are reassembling.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
So Raven Simone, Disney Channel, Star Entrepreneur Icon. In my opinion,
Raven Simone announced that Cheeta Girls for is happening, so
it will be with Raven Simone in the original cast.
So yes, Raven Simone, Adrian Baylon, Sabrina, Brian Lynn, Whitfield Alter,
they are all coming back. At the time, Keighley is
(06:09):
not attached. Williams is not attached to the film. I
wasn't really surprised about that, to be honest, but it
would have been nice to see your end. I think
it would have been nice to see all the girls together.
But if you've been following, you know, her journey post
Cheetah Girls and post some of the Disney Channel stuff.
You know, there have been some hiccups there, so so yeah,
but anyway, the movie is coming back. It's going to
(06:31):
be called The Cheetah Girls Next Gin and it was
officially greenlit right as Raven Simone broke the news. So
the storyline for the film is picking up right when
the Cheetah Girls, Galeria who's played by Raven Simone and
Chanell who's played by Adrian Bailon, they have kids and
(06:53):
their daughters, Faith, who was new to the franchise, and
her three friends traveled Africa to volunteer at a wildfire
wildfire sanctuary. At a wildfire sanctuary. Now along the way
of all of this volunteering and the traveling, the four
girls test their friendship, find their voice, and discover the
true Cheetah Girl spirit as they preserve and ultimately take
(07:15):
the stage as the new Cheetah Girl. So this is
Raven Simone's second return to Disney Channel as one of
her previous characters. You guys will remember she did Raven's Home.
I think it was like, yeah, it was five or
six seasons. It was six seasons of Raven's Home in
twenty seventeen, and that went on from twenty seventeen to
about twenty twenty three, and that was a spin off
(07:39):
of that So Raven, which is another archives show that
is just like the essence of a lot of our childhoods.
Like the Unks are so excited because this weekend jay
Z is in New York. He got the three shows
at Yankee Stadium. It's gonna be lit, Okay. But when
I see them get excited and they talking about laying
they outfits out and can't wait the same the songs
(08:00):
and all that, I get it. But you know, we
encountered jay Z, like we didn't grow up on him
because the Yunks is old, Okay, we encountered him eventually
later in our lives and through lessons and through interviews
and through the love of entertainment and hip hop and
all the things. But I understand what it's like to
grow up on something because let me tell you this,
there are two moments in its last two weeks that
(08:21):
made me realize what staple feeling in moments from youth
and impact really are in entertainment.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
And it gave me small things.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Right, like you don't gotta be solving some of the
biggest world problems. Sometimes it's just putting a good feeling
and a comfort feeling in somebody's heart that will last forever.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
And I know that's what hip hop and music does
for people.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
But let me tell you all about the two moments
when I went to the BT Awards and Lauren Hill
was honored and they.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Sung Joyful, Joyful from Sister Act two.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I used to sing that movie down you could, I
tell me I was not in that movie. That was
one of the like I remember watching and singing along
with that movie and seeing all those black kids on
the screen in Lauren Hill and being like, y ooh,
this is dope, like rap hip hop is in a movie.
Like at a young age, I understood why the crossover
of that was so phenomenal and so fire and just
(09:08):
how big that movie was. And then the Cheetah Girls
Disney Channel and seeing these young black girls, it was
almost like the feeling of Mosha, Like seeing these young
black girls in this you know, mainstream pop culture space
and you know, having a good time telling stories, make
your friends laugh and singing, dancing and learning all the
songs and singing along with them.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Yeah, it's it's it. It hit home.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
And I know a lot of y'all probably like, oh,
that's about the Cheeta girls, Lauren. It's one of them things.
If you know, you know, ain't nothing for you I
can do if you don't know, if you know, you know.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
So I'm excited to see that.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Honestly, I'm excited too to just see the world, the
world's reaction once it actually drops. There was a big
reaction when Raving someone made the announcement, and she had
been trying for some years to just like stay in
contact with cast I remember she was doing like Instagram
lives with some people and you know what I mean,
we we've been waiting on these things and now and
finally here. So there's that. Speaking of the girls being
(10:07):
outside our sisters. Over at the Poor Minds podcast, Lex
Andrea sat down with Shannon Sharp on Club Shasha. First
of all, I'm really proud of them, I do you know,
in this podcast space, I'm always honest with you guys
about the fact that we are on a journey, like.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
We are.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
A little over our first year in the podcasting game
and learning you know, us as a community.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Me y'all, the low Riders, the low Rider family.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
So I love watching other podcasters build out and elevate
and just see how they maneuver in business. And you
guys know, I did Poor Mind's live show here in
New York when they came. Great experience, but I was
there just watching them and see how like seeing how
they you know, brought things from the podcast onto the
live stage, and how production went down, and how people
(10:58):
like I mean people knew everything down to the slogans
that they open and close their podcast with with. And
being a person who has always loved talk shows and
wanted a talk show and we got the latest, I
understand that, like I understand the tagline, I understand the marketing,
and I understand the branding around that. But to see
it in real life, like to be listening to a
(11:20):
podcast for some time and to watch it grow than
to see in real life, it's just beautiful to see.
And now these girls are on this press run, you know,
talking about the podcast in our lives, and what I
love the most is that these were two regular girls,
college graduates, fine ass girls who just chose the dream,
got together and were consistent and figured it out. And
they talked about that on the episode and in the
(11:43):
motivation that that gives them. This is such a I
told y'all, I come off of these trips and all
these outings very motivated and inspired. This is such a
motivation motivational episode. Let's tay could listen to Lex and
Dref from Poor Minds talk about just the building of
their podcast over the years and being a regular girls
I popped out to do it.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
How has this been amazing?
Speaker 6 (12:03):
Like, I feel like he's been an instrumental part of
our career because he kind of gave us the opportunity,
you know what I mean, when we were still filming
at my apartment, before we were ever even in the studio,
he pulled up to my apartment.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
And recorded with us, yeah, living room.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
And then like a.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
Few years later, the show grown, the show grown, the
show had grew a little bit more, and then he
you know, offered for us to come on eighty five South.
So we went on eighty five South and that really
like catapulted our show to another level because I think
that episode got like a million views in like two
or three days. Yeah, and so that helped us get
(12:45):
a lot more viewership. And then they ended up asking
us did we want to sign to them because they
were trying to start a management company and we were
going to be the first people that they signed, so
they signed us.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
We was kind of like the.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
Guinea pigs a little bit, but it ended up working
out amazing lead and Carlos and eighty five Souths have
just been such a blessing in our lives with the show.
Speaker 7 (13:06):
They really cleaned up our business too, Like we didn't
know what we're doing, what we were doing, but they
have taught us so much. And like we were getting
so many no's, and Carlos was the one yes, and
it's crazy because all them nose came back like, hey,
when that finishes up, y'all can come over here. We're
like no, yeah, so's and we're proof that all you
(13:26):
need is one yes. I'm cool with all these noes
because I know once I get that one yes, now this.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
One, this, this next topic. Because the interview was like
they talked it was a three hour long interview, a
little bit over three hours, honestly, almost like three and
a half hours they talked about or was it two
and a half child. It was a long interview, but
it didn't feel long because it felt like you were
just listening to them go down the line of like
topics and stuff like that on their show. So and
(13:55):
Shanton Sharp was smart. So in the beginning of the
interview they opened up. They talk a lot about their
journey themselves, how they how they formed the podcast, got
the business going, their mindsets, so it really helped you
understand them because then they went into their takes on
different topics. Right, so they get into Daphanie Joy and
if you guys are not familiar with who that is,
that is the mother of fifty cents youngest son, Seer
(14:16):
sire Seer. She was in a relationship with Diddy and
they're more recently, not too long ago.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Was a sex tape that leaked of her and Diddy doing.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
One of the freak offs that we've heard so much
about with the red lights with a male escort, went
super viral. And now Daphanie Joy has been on this
press run it's like business. I don't know what the
business she's in, like if that's really booming, because she's
the only fans girl. She says that it is, But
she's been on press runs that I don't think would
have been possible without that sex tape being posted and
(14:46):
the boar minds girls got into that. Let's say listen,
women are always judged more harshly when it comes to
anything that we do. A black woman who was in
that situation wouldn't be on a press run right now,
if I'm being honest.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
People wouldn't be invited her on the show. They'll be like,
she's a slack. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (15:05):
I think this just goes to show what we deal
with as black women, you know.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
And this is no shade to Daphne.
Speaker 7 (15:11):
I think when you have a moment, you take it
and that's what you want to you know, she's on
Cam Newton podcast.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
That's an ad.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
I know an ad when I see one. I'm not
mad at her, that's what you're supposed to do. But
seeing the.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Reaction of people the way they treat her.
Speaker 7 (15:25):
Even there ain't no tapes outside of me and Drea
doing nothing, but the way people act towards.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Us, just because we talk about.
Speaker 7 (15:32):
Our dating experience, yes, and we get treated like, oh
my gosh, you would have thought that we killed somebody's
mother or something like our fun they moment even with
like how the way they treat making a stallion, you know,
because of her lyrics or things like that, and it's
like they treat us like we are just the worst thing.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Ever, then you have this woman who has a sex
safe she getting not one but two niggas. Ain't no,
that's what you like to do, whatever the situation may be.
Speaker 7 (15:59):
But they're like, oh, you see how feminine she is
and how soft and how beautiful and all this and that.
It's just like, are y'all for real right now? Y'all
dad are But this is like I said, no shade
of her. It's very it's just interesting. Yeah, it's interesting.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
Arry, go ahead.
Speaker 6 (16:17):
I was just gonna say, like, I feel like we
haven't seen a black woman be in a situation like
that and get the same type of attention and know the.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Right Well, she ain't gonna become no billionaire if that's
what you're asking, Well, she said.
Speaker 7 (16:28):
She was like when people are comparing her to Kim
Kardashi and she was like, I love that, That's what
she said.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Well, I hope you get a product line. I hope
you get a skincare line and come out.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
With some uh skims of what it skims and.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Spain and I guess they call it dance.
Speaker 6 (16:46):
What is it is crazy.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
To be like no.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Completely, I said that about the conversations they had, you know,
even I mean and mind you their podcast is like
it's just like girl talk honestly, Like they mixing trend
to topics and stuff like that. But it really feels
like you just with your homegirls having a good time,
having a good conversation. But they do get into relationship
stuff and sexual things that they're not afraid of that
at all.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
And they're very beautiful girls. The bodies be boughdy in. Okay.
I love the poor mindes girls.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
I love Lexandrea because in real life they're real girls
like and y'all like, what does that mean? Gott to
clarify that in twenty twenty six, I don't mean none
the crazy stuff. What I mean by that is like
it's not like their caricatures of themselves, like in real life.
They're fun. They're girls girls. They like they have a
good time. They're like a good key key, a good drink,
a good you know. I love girls who are like ambitious,
(17:44):
get to the money, got their brands together, can figure
it out, but also cute fashion, can pop out, have
a good time, then get back to the business.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Really like the essence of brown gar grinding.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Is that so the way sometimes that I see people
react to their podcasts talk about them, I'm like, that's
so insane to me because some of our biggest influential
celebrities started like everything with sex space and I know
people instantly bring up like Kim Kardashian in this situation
like this, and I know that in the beginning, Kim
(18:16):
Kardashian wasn't. It wasn't what it was now, Like I
remember Kanye having a goal off on people because he
would be invited to different fashion things and they wouldn't
want her in a room because she was the reality
started with the sex tape, but she was able to
overcome it and build really, really really big business from it.
And when I look at podcasts like Call Her Daddy
(18:37):
and things of that nature, I compare to like conversations
that people have about also the horrible decisions podcasts as
well too, which is also like girls talk very they
get sexual. There are a lot more sexual than a
poor minds, it's honestly, but there's a thing there, and
I think a lot of times it's black when when
we point out certain things that we feel within ourselves
(19:00):
that like it's unspoken word, like it's you don't even
got to say it amongst us, we just know. But
when you say it out loud, people hate to hear
you express what you're actually going through, as if you
don't understand what was happening to you in real time.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Right.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
So, Yeah, they got a lot of pushback for this clip,
and I'm glad that they stood ten toes down on it.
Like I saw a lex post in response to it,
Like I knew that y'all was going to be calling
me everything but a child of God once its interview dropped.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Interview was great though, in my opinion.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
They also talked about women having standards and how people
try to make women feel bad for having standards about
who and how they date. That's saicularten.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
So you said, you guys, like when you were younger,
you felt a sense of entitlement that you were entitled
to a guys that have a certain level.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
Yeah, now do you no longer feel that way? Is
there a.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Certain number that you feel a guy should make or
need to make in order, because like you said, you
guys have your own now, so you don't have to
accept anything.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
Yeah, I feel.
Speaker 6 (19:58):
Like we just at least need to be equally old.
You need to at least be making what I'm making
are better? Yeah, fag So I need a big daddy.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Yeah, yes, that's what I'm looking for.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
So I guess with that. Ain't nobody splitting no bills?
Speaker 3 (20:22):
You know?
Speaker 4 (20:24):
No?
Speaker 6 (20:25):
I mean, I will say this. I used to say that,
but I do feel like once you get to a
certain level of money, who really cares. That's why I
don't think rich people have conversations about that.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
I ain't rich.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
He don't think rich couples like when the woman is
making money and the man is making a lot of money,
I don't think they're arguing about who paying a.
Speaker 7 (20:41):
Light view literally, like, I think those conversations about splitting
the bills are so like.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
I think it's for people who need to sweep the bills, right,
And that's okay, there's nothing wrong with splitting the bills.
But the type of lifestyle that I imagine myself whenever I'm
heard and I'm having care, yeah, that's not what I've
ever imagined for myself. It's not gonna be like, oh
my gosh, I paid it this month, you pay just
take it out the pie.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
There's a lot more where that came. Were gonna have
a joint of Grandma?
Speaker 5 (21:05):
Oh we are? Oh yeah yeah yeah, we gonna have
a yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. Okay, I
just check it, just like it on the same pain
because this ain't no gumbo.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
I'm gonna keep the shrimp and over over here.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, I feel you. Yeah, everything a
gonna be in one pie. I agree.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
But what happened because it seems to me and I
could be wrong, and if I'm wrong, guys correct me.
Speaker 5 (21:37):
Whatever happened to growing with a man?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
A man doesn't have anything, he's planning, and you watch
him and y'all grow to together. It seems now everybody
wants already already grown the fruit. I can just go
pick the apples or the pears or whatever the case,
the fruit already.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
Nobody wants to grow anymore.
Speaker 6 (21:54):
I do think that that's a little messed up that
people have that mentality these days.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
But I don't know, as a one in my thirties.
Speaker 6 (22:01):
You should be built, you should be grown already, like
because I feel like, what have you been doing all
this time?
Speaker 3 (22:07):
At thirty five?
Speaker 6 (22:08):
Like and just saying if I'm dating somebody that's the
same age as me, Like, what have you been doing
all this time to where I.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Need to work with you while you build.
Speaker 6 (22:18):
I think that when women are in their twenties, that's
unreally stick because y'all are both trying to figure things out. Yes,
and I'm not saying that we still can't grow together.
And yeah, you should still, but you should have something
that you already coming with. I shouldn't just be over
here like okay, well he got to get it together.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Let me just say nothing.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
I don't think nobody should be able to get it together.
Look if we right out of college or you know, hey,
I'm trying to grow this right here.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
Okay, this is what we try to do.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
But I agree, I mean, but sometimes it's really hard
because sometimes it takes people longer than others.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
Sometimes, where some people can figure.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
It out twenty two, some people maybe at twenty five,
some people might take them thirty. It's kind of like maturing.
Some kids mature a lot sooner than others. Yeah, if
something like with them, he's mature at thirteen, fourteen, and
here you are twenty five and you still ain't mature.
Speaker 6 (23:06):
Yeah, And I do I think it's different when you're
growing with a person that you've been with for a lot. Yeah,
even if something is to happen, because you have situations
where a woman is with a man and he's doing amazing,
and yeah, something ends up happening in his life altering,
and then y'all are not in the same financial space
that y'all once were in, and you gotta, you know,
be there for him while he gets it back, get
back on the seat, you can get it back to
(23:26):
where it was. I think that's okay, and that's understandable,
especially in a marriage.
Speaker 7 (23:31):
Yeah, I just feel like when it comes to these
money conversations, they tough.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
It really is extremely interesting.
Speaker 7 (23:39):
But I also feel like when you're in a relationship
like being like this ride or not everything like they
try to put on black women, they make us feel
so bad for it.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
But again, I'm about to be thirty seven.
Speaker 7 (23:50):
Yeah, okay, I'm not saying that you have to be
worth you know, a million dollars, but also.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
You gotta have some money coming somebody got to be
they gotta be worth the these to be.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
Who you fooling?
Speaker 6 (23:59):
Well, you see who said that and who need Okay,
but this is what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (24:05):
Though, you have to have some money coming in, because
my thing is, we are in this age where everybody's like, oh,
I want to start from the bottom and I want
to grind.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
I want to go get it.
Speaker 7 (24:15):
Hey, when I quit my job when poor Minds was
taking off, they literally had to force me out that job.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
They were like, you can't.
Speaker 7 (24:22):
Be here no more, you don't have the time. And
I was like, I want my consistent shape. Yes, y'all
have to follow your dreams and go to work. Nobody
that's not supporting themselves. So I do think that, like, yeah,
you can ride or die with somebody or whatever you
want to do, hold it down, but y'all need to
be making some money.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
Yeah, but we need to be riding full times.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
I died a.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Lot and shout out to the people out here doing
all the things. Like honestly, like I that is, I
tell my male friends all the time. I admire men
because men are really good about setting their boundaries when
it came to dating, relationships, friendships work. They set their
boundaries well and they stick to it. They compartment compartmentalize
(25:09):
and they do like I feel like women compartmentalize too,
But sometimes it's more for protection. Maybe men do it
for protection as well too, but the way that men
do it it allows them to like manipulate and get
the best out of every any situation. And I don't
always feel like for I'm just speak for myself as
a woman. I don't always feel like me compartmentalizing does
that for me. I do feel like I know very
(25:30):
well how to work a room and work a situation,
but I don't feel like my boundaries are as strong
sometimes when it comes to certain things like work, like
relationship boundaries as I've seen men in my life be,
and how beneficial that is for them, Like even a
conversation of like like they were talking about in relationships
(25:51):
right like what they want and not being allowed to
say that, but take it back to the workplace, Like
I think men in the workplace know when they're not
getting what they deserve and they're not afraid to say
it right in the air and nip it in the butt.
Let's get straight to it. Women, it's like we have
to navigate the politics. Like there's so much politics and
so many different compartments of our life, Like there's politics
(26:13):
in dating and finding your person.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
You can't be too much. But you don't want to
be belittled.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
You can't act like you own a table and you
brought the table even though you might have. Because you
want a man and his eve and all the things
to feel good. But at the same time, you want
to feel good about yourself. And I've always heard people
say the right work situation, the right man shoot, even
taking it out of relationships like boyfriend girlfriend girlfriend girlfriend, boyfriend, boyfriend, whatever,
(26:41):
taking it out of that, just taking it even to friendships.
I've always heard people say people will only treat you
how you allow them, and people will only treat you
how you feel like you deserve to be treated. But
a lot of times as a woman, you won't allow
certain things. Once we get to the point where we
are finally standing on the boundaries or you know that
you deserve certain things, you'll be working toward it. You'll
(27:03):
be talking about it, and you still got to play
the politics. You still gotta dance, you still got to
play the game. Sometimes it's just different for us. I
make that very clear with all of the men that
I work with all the time, especially because my job
is so vocal and there's a lot of times where
you know I'm in different rooms and men are like,
you should speak out about this. You got the platform,
(27:23):
and I'm like, you can do that as a man.
But for me, even if I do do it, I
have to sit and think through so many different things
that men don't think about, like the sensitivity of things.
Men think about that completely different and they have the
privilege to, like child is a whole lot that goes
into it.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
But this interview I thought was.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Very It was a great interview, a great way to
interview personalities because it was an interview and we learned
a lot about them, but we also got to hear
and see them do their thing in real time.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
It was literally like a crossover episode.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
It felt like the Poor Mind's podcast took over Upshase
shape for a crossover episode. And that's eventually how they
ended up titling the interview when they posted it, probably
because they felt that way. So shout out to them.
Make sure you guys going to check that out. It
is now live on the Club Chase Share YouTube Channel
U with Shannon Sharp. So yeah, we take a listen, y'all.
