Speaker 1 (00:01):
Gee, I'm a homegrow that knows a little bit about

Speaker 2 (00:05):
You don't know if you don't lie about that, right,
Lauren came in.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Y'all, Clap it up.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
We have made it.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
We are here at one hundred episodes of The Latest
with Lauren L.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Rosa.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
This is the podcast the daily Dig on all things entertainment,
news exclusives, and all of the conversations that shake the room. Now,
y'all have been tuned into y'all homegrowd that knows a
bit about everything and everybody for one hundred episodes now.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
But I do want to do a little recap.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Let's take a look at the first four episodes of
The Latest with Lauren L.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Rosa.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Yes, we are here, welcome. This is the first episode.
This is the inaugural episode. I think inaugura means first.
I'm supposed to know that, Yes, inaugural means first. This
is the first episode of The Latest with Lauren the Rosa,
which is a podcast where we are doing all the things. Okay,
I want to start this off by saying, for everybody
(01:03):
that you know reached out and called me or text me,
you know, I made a lot of new support system
and community, just you know, through people dming me on
Instagram and you know all that stuff, just checking in,
making sure I was good, making sure Jess was good,
making sure you know, we understood that. Like yo, y'all, like, hey,
this is a moment for y'all to really show the
(01:25):
world with two black women on a major media platform
who are going to be faced with, you know, obstacles
and different things will still come after this, what y'all
can do and how y'all can do it. For everybody
who reached out sincerely and wasn't trying to get some
information for a story or get a quote or just be.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Messy, I appreciate y'all.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
I know that. Just appreciate you guys too, because for
the first time ever in my life, I wasn't reaching
out to break the story. I wasn't detailing the story.
I wasn't regurgitating a story. I was a story. Nothing
could have prepared me for that more than my relationship
with God that I have right now. And I was
(02:04):
raised in the church. I've always had a relationship with God.
That's you know, my family and all of that, Like.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
That's just how I was raised.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
But I think when you're grown and you established that
relationship yourself. It is so different and like a year
ago when I decided to like get my apartment in
New York and I was trying to figure everything out.
One of the things that I did was I was like,
you know what, I'm gonna give my life to God again.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Not gonna get emotional.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
It's a good emotion, though, y'all got me like be
simone up her crun on this podcast about God.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Like what is happening right now?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
But when I did that, though, I knew that it
was a conscious decision, and I told myself. I taught
myself then that I was like arming myself with everything
that I was going to need to go to this
like next level of things and God. When I tell y'all,
I had no idea everything that was going to happen.
(03:07):
And this is not about like the just Instagram live,
I mean like everything. I just mean, like, you know,
me being blessed with the opportunity to be at like
I left a job. When you get on television as
a personality, you don't take yourself off of TV. I
don't care how imperfect that situation is, Babe. You figure
it out and you make it work. And for me,
(03:29):
you know, being at TMZ and being in LA and
La is a number one market or you know, at
least I could think things change, numbers change or whatever.
I know, it's at least top five market. And you're
on television and you're on prime time, your daytime talk show, and.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
No one really knew who I was.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
You know, people knew, but like people were it was like, oh,
the girl from TMZ to leave that and go to
a platform where like I was able and you guys
were able to learn me get to know who I was,
and you know what I mean. I was just like, man,
God is really moving in my life. When I got
on the other side of that, and now the conversation
(04:06):
that's shaking the room is about me. Following jessco on
Live on Instagram, I was like, oh shit, this is crazy.
My first reaction was like, what the fuck, Like, what's
happening right now?
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Wait? What? And I just knew it was.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Something because people just kept sending me to live, sending
me live.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
I'm like, okay, either she's on there, because you know,
like behind the scenes, I knew that like things weren't perfect.
I knew she wasn't the most happiest person. But I
think in my role, I can only speak for myself.
I was trying to do as much as I could
to make sure that things worked out well enough where
she could at least show up and do her job comfortably.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Some chears warming up in here.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Hello guys, and welcome back. This is episode two of
the Latest with Lauren le Rosa. So you know, since
j'all don't pop my cherry already and we two, you know,
I was gonna say two strokes in, but you know
you can do two strokes on the first time. We
two episodes in. Now we're warming up to each other.
You know, it's feeling like home. I'm excited to hear
(05:12):
all the feedback. Thank you for everybody that joined the
live that I did when I went live with the
Black Effect Podcast Network and told me that y'all have
been watching the show or listening to the show. I'm
so used to being on TV listening to the show
and you know, giving me some feedback. Today, I'm actually here.
I have family here in my apartment as we are
recording this. I have friends, My mom is here, y'all. See,
(05:35):
my makeup is done. My makeup always be done. My
makeup is done. My makeup is always done. Okay, the
girls always giving. But today this is like special beat,
special hair, because we are actually getting ready to head
to the launch party for the podcast. It's a private
launch party event that we're doing in New York, and
I'm getting excited as the time goes on. It actually
starts at eight o'clock, and it's about eight o'clock right now,
(05:59):
but we still hear you gonna do this. Work comes first.
But that's kind of like what the setting is. Episode three?
All right, all right, hold on, I gotta cut in
real quick. I know we recapping, but I gotta cut
in and just let y'all know where my state of
mind was within these like throwback episodes. By episode three
of the Latest with Lauren La Rosa, I.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Was literally running on fumes.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
I was not used to this daily regimen of you know,
the daily podcast, trying to figure out the video, doing
the audio. I'm up late doing all the edits, doing
a rundown for the breakfast club stuff. My family start tripping,
like my mother, my grandmother, They like, yo, what's going on?
We ain't hearing from you. Everything was moving so fast.
Everything was exploding and I'm I mean, I'm grateful to
(06:44):
God that it did, but oh my god, I couldn't
talk about it then because I was like, I don't
want to sound like I'm complaining, but even listening to
my voice and listening to myself in these first probably
the first five episodes of the podcast, and that's why
I'm so happy that all this is like dot minute
you can just hear, you know, the wear and tear
(07:04):
of all the things, like you know, Breakfast Club was
happening and people were excited to see me there and
the podcast had just been announced and we were running
with the first episodes. I don't think people talk about
enough about how, you know, when elevation happens, Like we
pray for good things to happen, we pray to elevate.
You work hards, you're consistent. You know, I'm learning in
(07:27):
real time, so I'm doing well. I'm failing in real time. Shoot,
I tell them sometimes. But people don't talk about enough
how just learning to adjust and unlearning what you knew
on one level, to relearn and learn for the first
time things on this you know, elevated level.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
How that like takes a toll on you.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Mentally and physically while having to stay together in front
of you know all everybody. So you know, as I'm
I'm listening with y'all reflecting back on these episodes, I'm.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Like, man, you could literally hear and feel it.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Wow, episode three? What is today? Today's too?
Speaker 4 (08:06):
No?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Yes, this is episode three?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Okay, Yes, I'm tired, y'all.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
So let me know how y'all feel on Twitter on
Instagram as you're listening to this and you tag me.
But I feel like at this point, we are so
exhausted by these Diddy civil lawsuits and all of the
things in the sensational like the sensationalize of information that
are putting these lawsuits to make them go, to make
them pick up, to make them spread that now people
(08:33):
don't even care as much. It's like, I mean it.
And again, there may be people who were actually victimized
in these ways by Diddy. There may be that is alleged.
We don't know until it plays out in court on
both the criminal and the civil side, whatever makes it
the court, right, But it's just kind of crazy because
I feel like it's like it literally feels like it
(08:56):
like came and went. Like at one point in time.
I know, for me as on a journale side, like
you know, as I'm choosing stories to do on the
Breakfast Club or choosing stories to like you know, actively
get new angles and report on and things of that nature.
I'm always like you know, looking for like, Okay, what's new,
what's happening, what's happening? But the Diddy stop to me. Now,
(09:17):
I'm just like, oh another one, bro, another one. Can
we just skip to the point where he go to
court so we can see what's true what's not? Hold up,
I'm back again to pop on in I'm popping in
the flashbacks. This was so funny to me when I
relistened to this episode because I'm like, girl, if only
you had known you was gonna be in court every
(09:38):
day right with Diddy? And that was a big moment
for us here on the podcast as well, because we
covered every day that I was in court, what happened
in court, on the latest with Along the Roads and
all those episodes are there in full for you guys
to go back and listen to if you need to
catch up as well. But I listened to this and
I literally laughed, like, girl, you was you couldn't wait
(09:59):
for court. Come you were in court every day tied
to Tale sweet Walking again. Okay, y'all, this is the
latest with Laurya l Rosa. I am Laura la Rosa.
This is episode four, So let's get on into some things.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
We're taking y'all to court.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
We were doing a little.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Court you know what I mean. If there's a Dun
Dunn Taylor put that on in here, I need that.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Okay, it's given litigation right now. So the first thing
I wanted to talk about was Drake. You guys know
that Drake has been going back and forth with Universal
Music Group over the song not Like Us, even though
he's positioning it and claiming that it's not specifically about
the song, that it's more so about the fact that
his label did not protect him and that they allowed
(10:46):
another artist on the label, speaking of Kendrick Lamar to
drop out like Us, which Drake and team say is
a very defamatory song. It's dangerous and there's no way
that this should have been supported. So now he is suing. Okay,
the lassit. There's been a lot of back and forth,
but more recently the Universal Music Group side of things said,
(11:09):
you know what, Judge, this all is bs, Drake, don't really,
he doesn't honestly think that we did half of the
stuff that he's claiming. He's claiming that they work with
bots to make not Like Us a bigger song than
it was. He's claiming that they, you know, paid third
party bloggers to talk about it, that they paid radio,
like just a ton of different things right that he
(11:29):
has claimed over some time. He's claiming everything. But the
song is a bop, and baby, the song is a bop.
So this next episode that you guys are about to
hear from like the first couple weeks of the podcast,
is really really special to me because my mom was
one of the guests on the episodes, and I've always
(11:50):
said I wanted to do like a sit down, like
some sort of content with me, my mom and my
grandmom just because I feel like the generational conversations are
good and there's you know, there's some things that aren't
so good, but I think that, you know, it could
help people to see us talk through it.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
So getting her on the podcast was fired.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
My mom loves to talk, she loves people, so she
was more than excited to do it.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
But it was also special for me.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Because you know when my mom, my mom is a
stage four cancer survivor. If you guys have listened to
my early episodes here on The Latest with Lona Rosa,
I've talked about that.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
I believe, but my mom.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
I remember one time we had a conversation just about
you know, my mom was just basically trying to comfort me.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Early.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
She's like, look, we don't know how this is going
to all work out, you know, with this cancer battle.
We don't know what's going to happen. I'm not giving up.
God has the last say so, but I just want
you to know that, you know, everything I've been able
to see you and your brother accomplished in life has
fulfilled me. If I don't ever get to see anything else,
I am fulfilled as.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
A parent and that.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
I know she was trying to comfort me, but it
broke my heart because I'm like, man, it's so much
to do still and this was years ago, so having
her here on the podcast, and when I listened to
this back to figure out whether I was going to
put it here in this recap episode, I cried because
I'm like, man, like everything she's gotten a witness from
that moment, like two almost three years ago now two Now,
(13:13):
my mom was in New York for the launch of
the podcast, and I got her to sit down with
me on the podcast literally the day after launch.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
So take a listen.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Okay, all you gotta clap it up.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
That's right, clap it up, clap it up, and the
energy going up. What's up, y'all. It's Laura l Rosa.
This is the Latest with Lauren la Rosa. Now this
is your daily dig, your daily dish on everything in
all conversations, pop culture and just you know, those conversations
that shake the room. Now, I want to first of all,
thank you guys for coming right on back here with me.
(13:47):
Y'all know, I'm the homegrown I know it's a little
bit about everything and everybody. And today in the room,
we been having a special guest a week, another special guest.
I got the og who knows a little bit about
every thing and everybody. My mom really is like complete
opposite to me, though she's not her business.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
But my mom is here, Hey, mom, Yes, right, my mom.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Lois is here.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
My family was in town because we did like a
media kind of like meet and greet type of situation
for the podcast. In episode previous to this one. If
you have not listened to that, please go and listen
to it. It's a live conversation with me and Charlemagne
just about you know, like where everything started from for me,
where you know, I'm at now and where I'm going
(14:32):
and where I'm headed.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
So my family was in town for that.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
So my mom is still here and she came to
film the podcast with me today. The way that we
do it here, Mom, when we start off the podcast
is we do a check in. So this is a
grinding you know, behind the scenes of the grind check
in where we just asked, how are you feeling good?
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Good?
Speaker 4 (14:51):
I'm feeling great. That was a good opening. Last night
really was really therapeic for me.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Oh to hear me talk about everything. Yes, how do
you feel when you like when.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
You're sitting in the audience and like you're hearing me
talk about things that like, you know, I mean, you're
my mom and brought also too, you lived them a
real life with me.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
That's right. That's what I was about to say, is
it just is the real life, and I appreciate you.
Keep keeping it real, girl, yeh, keep it real. That's
the way to do it. I congratulate you on that. No,
go ahead, no, keep you real for you about you,
and now let's get real about everything.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
About everything she said? Were ready to get on into
some topics now here is one of my absolute favorite
podcast moments. So I got something really really special for
all of my lowriders today. If you've ever seen the
show Girlfriends. And I kind of feel like a little
like a dug when I say that, because who hasn't
seen the show Girlfriends? But if you everor have not
(15:55):
seen the show Girlfriends, We're going to talk a lot
about it today in this episode because we have a
icon joining us, MS Golden Brooks, who played Maya on
the show.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
A right, all right, good morning morning.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Y'all are glowed up for learning and want a Sunday.
All of y'all are given and all of y'all are glowing.
I'm I'm really excited to be here.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
Oh gosh, hi you guys. I'm Golden Brooks aka my
Denise Wilks.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Golden.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
This is kind of like another full circle woman for you,
because you guys are the African American Museum in d C.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
We We were, we absolutely were. It's just it's you know,
I think because Girlfriends was so iconic.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
I feel so old when I say that, I'm like iconic.
But I think.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
Because it was one of the first shows that actually
celebrated or you know, maur Buck to kill, you know,
hats off to her showing black women doing yoga and
eating sushi and wearing fly closed designer. I think that
was the first time I ever heard about, you know,
the well, not really the broken back because Sex and
(17:08):
the City did it, but you had women of women
of color wearing designer.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
You know.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
We talked about it, and.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
I just think that on so many levels it showcased
us in a way that we hadn't seen ourselves and
all of our flaws, you know, And I think that
that's something that I think women of color it was.
It opened up a whole new conversation piece on the
black woman in TV and what that looks like.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Make sure you go check out the full interview audio
in full everywhere you get your podcasts.

that when I had a talk show, I wanted my
audience to come along with me, to grow along with me,
because y'all got to realize I'm doing this all in
real time.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
I'm learning, I'm figuring it out. I am.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
You know, everything that you're seeing is happening in real time, y'all.

which is a podcast where we are doing all the things. Okay,
I want to start this off by saying, for everybody
(01:03):
that you know reached out and called me or text me,
you know, I made a lot of new support system
and community, just you know, through people dming me on
Instagram and you know all that stuff, just checking in,

world with two black women on a major media platform
who are going to be faced with, you know, obstacles
and different things will still come after this, what y'all

who reached out sincerely and wasn't trying to get some
information for a story or get a quote or just be.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Messy, I appreciate y'all.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
I know that. Just appreciate you guys too, because for
the first time ever in my life, I wasn't reaching
out to break the story. I wasn't detailing the story.
I wasn't regurgitating a story. I was a story. Nothing
could have prepared me for that more than my relationship
with God that I have right now. And I was
(02:04):
raised in the church. I've always had a relationship with God.
That's you know, my family and all of that, Like.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
That's just how I was raised.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
But I think when you're grown and you established that
relationship yourself. It is so different and like a year
ago when I decided to like get my apartment in
New York and I was trying to figure everything out.
One of the things that I did was I was like,
you know what, I'm gonna give my life to God again.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Not gonna get emotional.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
It's a good emotion, though, y'all got me like be
simone up her crun on this podcast about God.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Like what is happening right now?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
But when I did that, though, I knew that it
was a conscious decision, and I told myself. I taught
myself then that I was like arming myself with everything
that I was going to need to go to this
like next level of things and God. When I tell y'all,
I had no idea everything that was going to happen.
(03:07):
And this is not about like the just Instagram live,
I mean like everything. I just mean, like, you know,
me being blessed with the opportunity to be at like
I left a job. When you get on television as
a personality, you don't take yourself off of TV. I
don't care how imperfect that situation is, Babe. You figure
it out and you make it work. And for me,
(03:29):
you know, being at TMZ and being in LA and
La is a number one market or you know, at
least I could think things change, numbers change or whatever.
I know, it's at least top five market. And you're
on television and you're on prime time, your daytime talk show, and.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
No one really knew who I was.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
You know, people knew, but like people were it was like, oh,
the girl from TMZ to leave that and go to
a platform where like I was able and you guys
were able to learn me get to know who I was,
and you know what I mean. I was just like, man,
God is really moving in my life. When I got
on the other side of that, and now the conversation
(04:06):
that's shaking the room is about me. Following jessco on
Live on Instagram, I was like, oh shit, this is crazy.
My first reaction was like, what the fuck, Like, what's
happening right now?
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Wait? What? And I just knew it was.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Something because people just kept sending me to live, sending
me live.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
I'm like, okay, either she's on there, because you know,
like behind the scenes, I knew that like things weren't perfect.
I knew she wasn't the most happiest person. But I
think in my role, I can only speak for myself.
I was trying to do as much as I could
to make sure that things worked out well enough where
she could at least show up and do her job comfortably.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Some chears warming up in here.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Hello guys, and welcome back. This is episode two of
the Latest with Lauren le Rosa. So you know, since
j'all don't pop my cherry already and we two, you know,
I was gonna say two strokes in, but you know
you can do two strokes on the first time. We
two episodes in. Now we're warming up to each other.
You know, it's feeling like home. I'm excited to hear
(05:12):
all the feedback. Thank you for everybody that joined the
live that I did when I went live with the
Black Effect Podcast Network and told me that y'all have
been watching the show or listening to the show. I'm
so used to being on TV listening to the show
and you know, giving me some feedback. Today, I'm actually here.
I have family here in my apartment as we are
recording this. I have friends, My mom is here, y'all. See,
(05:35):
my makeup is done. My makeup always be done. My
makeup is done. My makeup is always done. Okay, the
girls always giving. But today this is like special beat,
special hair, because we are actually getting ready to head
to the launch party for the podcast. It's a private
launch party event that we're doing in New York, and
I'm getting excited as the time goes on. It actually
starts at eight o'clock, and it's about eight o'clock right now,
(05:59):
but we still hear you gonna do this. Work comes first.
But that's kind of like what the setting is. Episode three?
All right, all right, hold on, I gotta cut in
real quick. I know we recapping, but I gotta cut
in and just let y'all know where my state of
mind was within these like throwback episodes. By episode three
of the Latest with Lauren La Rosa, I.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Was literally running on fumes.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
I was not used to this daily regimen of you know,
the daily podcast, trying to figure out the video, doing
the audio. I'm up late doing all the edits, doing
a rundown for the breakfast club stuff. My family start tripping,
like my mother, my grandmother, They like, yo, what's going on?
We ain't hearing from you. Everything was moving so fast.
Everything was exploding and I'm I mean, I'm grateful to
(06:44):
God that it did, but oh my god, I couldn't
talk about it then because I was like, I don't
want to sound like I'm complaining, but even listening to
my voice and listening to myself in these first probably
the first five episodes of the podcast, and that's why
I'm so happy that all this is like dot minute
you can just hear, you know, the wear and tear
(07:04):
of all the things, like you know, Breakfast Club was
happening and people were excited to see me there and
the podcast had just been announced and we were running
with the first episodes. I don't think people talk about
enough about how, you know, when elevation happens, Like we
pray for good things to happen, we pray to elevate.
You work hards, you're consistent. You know, I'm learning in
(07:27):
real time, so I'm doing well. I'm failing in real time. Shoot,
I tell them sometimes. But people don't talk about enough
how just learning to adjust and unlearning what you knew
on one level, to relearn and learn for the first
time things on this you know, elevated level.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
How that like takes a toll on you.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Mentally and physically while having to stay together in front
of you know all everybody. So you know, as I'm
I'm listening with y'all reflecting back on these episodes, I'm.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Like, man, you could literally hear and feel it.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Wow, episode three? What is today? Today's too?
Speaker 4 (08:06):
No?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Yes, this is episode three?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Okay, Yes, I'm tired, y'all.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
So let me know how y'all feel on Twitter on
Instagram as you're listening to this and you tag me.
But I feel like at this point, we are so
exhausted by these Diddy civil lawsuits and all of the
things in the sensational like the sensationalize of information that
are putting these lawsuits to make them go, to make
them pick up, to make them spread that now people
(08:33):
don't even care as much. It's like, I mean it.
And again, there may be people who were actually victimized
in these ways by Diddy. There may be that is alleged.
We don't know until it plays out in court on
both the criminal and the civil side, whatever makes it
the court, right, But it's just kind of crazy because
I feel like it's like it literally feels like it
(08:56):
like came and went. Like at one point in time.
I know, for me as on a journale side, like
you know, as I'm choosing stories to do on the
Breakfast Club or choosing stories to like you know, actively
get new angles and report on and things of that nature.
I'm always like you know, looking for like, Okay, what's new,
what's happening, what's happening? But the Diddy stop to me. Now,
(09:17):
I'm just like, oh another one, bro, another one. Can
we just skip to the point where he go to
court so we can see what's true what's not? Hold up,
I'm back again to pop on in I'm popping in
the flashbacks. This was so funny to me when I
relistened to this episode because I'm like, girl, if only
you had known you was gonna be in court every
(09:38):
day right with Diddy? And that was a big moment
for us here on the podcast as well, because we
covered every day that I was in court, what happened
in court, on the latest with Along the Roads and
all those episodes are there in full for you guys
to go back and listen to if you need to
catch up as well. But I listened to this and
I literally laughed, like, girl, you was you couldn't wait
(09:59):
for court. Come you were in court every day tied
to Tale sweet Walking again. Okay, y'all, this is the
latest with Laurya l Rosa. I am Laura la Rosa.
This is episode four, So let's get on into some things.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
We're taking y'all to court.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
We were doing a little.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Court you know what I mean. If there's a Dun
Dunn Taylor put that on in here, I need that.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Okay, it's given litigation right now. So the first thing
I wanted to talk about was Drake. You guys know
that Drake has been going back and forth with Universal
Music Group over the song not Like Us, even though
he's positioning it and claiming that it's not specifically about
the song, that it's more so about the fact that
his label did not protect him and that they allowed
(10:46):
another artist on the label, speaking of Kendrick Lamar to
drop out like Us, which Drake and team say is
a very defamatory song. It's dangerous and there's no way
that this should have been supported. So now he is suing. Okay,
the lassit. There's been a lot of back and forth,
but more recently the Universal Music Group side of things said,
(11:09):
you know what, Judge, this all is bs, Drake, don't really,
he doesn't honestly think that we did half of the
stuff that he's claiming. He's claiming that they work with
bots to make not Like Us a bigger song than
it was. He's claiming that they, you know, paid third
party bloggers to talk about it, that they paid radio,
like just a ton of different things right that he
(11:29):
has claimed over some time. He's claiming everything. But the
song is a bop, and baby, the song is a bop.
So this next episode that you guys are about to
hear from like the first couple weeks of the podcast,
is really really special to me because my mom was
one of the guests on the episodes, and I've always
(11:50):
said I wanted to do like a sit down, like
some sort of content with me, my mom and my
grandmom just because I feel like the generational conversations are
good and there's you know, there's some things that aren't
so good, but I think that, you know, it could
help people to see us talk through it.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
So getting her on the podcast was fired.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
My mom loves to talk, she loves people, so she
was more than excited to do it.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
But it was also special for me.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Because you know when my mom, my mom is a
stage four cancer survivor. If you guys have listened to
my early episodes here on The Latest with Lona Rosa,
I've talked about that.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
I believe, but my mom.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
I remember one time we had a conversation just about
you know, my mom was just basically trying to comfort me.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Early.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
She's like, look, we don't know how this is going
to all work out, you know, with this cancer battle.
We don't know what's going to happen. I'm not giving up.
God has the last say so, but I just want
you to know that, you know, everything I've been able
to see you and your brother accomplished in life has
fulfilled me. If I don't ever get to see anything else,
I am fulfilled as.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
A parent and that.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
I know she was trying to comfort me, but it
broke my heart because I'm like, man, it's so much
to do still and this was years ago, so having
her here on the podcast, and when I listened to
this back to figure out whether I was going to
put it here in this recap episode, I cried because
I'm like, man, like everything she's gotten a witness from
that moment, like two almost three years ago now two Now,
(13:13):
my mom was in New York for the launch of
the podcast, and I got her to sit down with
me on the podcast literally the day after launch.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
So take a listen.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Okay, all you gotta clap it up.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
That's right, clap it up, clap it up, and the
energy going up. What's up, y'all. It's Laura l Rosa.
This is the Latest with Lauren la Rosa. Now this
is your daily dig, your daily dish on everything in
all conversations, pop culture and just you know, those conversations
that shake the room. Now, I want to first of all,
thank you guys for coming right on back here with me.
(13:47):
Y'all know, I'm the homegrown I know it's a little
bit about everything and everybody. And today in the room,
we been having a special guest a week, another special guest.
I got the og who knows a little bit about
every thing and everybody. My mom really is like complete
opposite to me, though she's not her business.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
But my mom is here, Hey, mom, Yes, right, my mom.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Lois is here.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
My family was in town because we did like a
media kind of like meet and greet type of situation
for the podcast. In episode previous to this one. If
you have not listened to that, please go and listen
to it. It's a live conversation with me and Charlemagne
just about you know, like where everything started from for me,
where you know, I'm at now and where I'm going
(14:32):
and where I'm headed.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
So my family was in town for that.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
So my mom is still here and she came to
film the podcast with me today. The way that we
do it here, Mom, when we start off the podcast
is we do a check in. So this is a
grinding you know, behind the scenes of the grind check
in where we just asked, how are you feeling good?
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Good?
Speaker 4 (14:51):
I'm feeling great. That was a good opening. Last night
really was really therapeic for me.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Oh to hear me talk about everything. Yes, how do
you feel when you like when.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
You're sitting in the audience and like you're hearing me
talk about things that like, you know, I mean, you're
my mom and brought also too, you lived them a
real life with me.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
That's right. That's what I was about to say, is
it just is the real life, and I appreciate you.
Keep keeping it real, girl, yeh, keep it real. That's
the way to do it. I congratulate you on that. No,
go ahead, no, keep you real for you about you,
and now let's get real about everything.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
About everything she said? Were ready to get on into
some topics now here is one of my absolute favorite
podcast moments. So I got something really really special for
all of my lowriders today. If you've ever seen the
show Girlfriends. And I kind of feel like a little
like a dug when I say that, because who hasn't
seen the show Girlfriends? But if you everor have not
(15:55):
seen the show Girlfriends, We're going to talk a lot
about it today in this episode because we have a
icon joining us, MS Golden Brooks, who played Maya on
the show.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
A right, all right, good morning morning.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Y'all are glowed up for learning and want a Sunday.
All of y'all are given and all of y'all are glowing.
I'm I'm really excited to be here.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
Oh gosh, hi you guys. I'm Golden Brooks aka my
Denise Wilks.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Golden.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
This is kind of like another full circle woman for you,
because you guys are the African American Museum in d C.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
We We were, we absolutely were. It's just it's you know,
I think because Girlfriends was so iconic.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
I feel so old when I say that, I'm like iconic.
But I think.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
Because it was one of the first shows that actually
celebrated or you know, maur Buck to kill, you know,
hats off to her showing black women doing yoga and
eating sushi and wearing fly closed designer. I think that
was the first time I ever heard about, you know,
the well, not really the broken back because Sex and
(17:08):
the City did it, but you had women of women
of color wearing designer.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
You know.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
We talked about it, and.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
I just think that on so many levels it showcased
us in a way that we hadn't seen ourselves and
all of our flaws, you know, And I think that
that's something that I think women of color it was.
It opened up a whole new conversation piece on the
black woman in TV and what that looks like.
Speaker 1 (17:37):

in full everywhere you get your podcasts.
