Lauren LaRosa
I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything and everybody exclusive know she don't lie about that, right? Lauren came in hot. Hey, y'. All, what's up? It's Lauren LaRosa. And this is the latest with Lauren LaRosa. This is your daily dig on all things pop culture, entertainment news, and all of the conversations that shake the room. Now today, if we are checking in behind the scenes of the grind. Back on the grind. Today is a good day. Y' all we are preparing to go and tape something very, very, very, very, very, very special. Tamara Hall. So I'll be headed to Tamara Hall. She taped here in New York City tomorrow. So I'mma do as much behind the scenes as I can from YouTube to some audio content here for the audio side of the podcast, just as much as I can. Cause I'm really excited about it. And the podcast episode is a podcaster episode. So we'll be there talking about the low riders, which are you guys, Everybody that's listening in and tuned in and you know, just the building, I mean, from the very start of us trying to figure out everything from the audio and getting our, you know, I feel like we in our groove now. We got our, like, you know, we got our thing going on to even figuring out video to just everything. So we'll get into it with Tamron Hall. Y' all know, she like to get into the things. So we probably gonna get into the things. But I'm really excited. So you guys, you know, stay tuned for that. You know, I bring you updates from wherever I go. We're like podcast vloggers. Ish, like taking y' all like step by step in the journey. Like a vlog, but like it's on the podcast side. So, yeah. So behind the scenes of the grind. I am really excited for that. Really busy just preparing for that while also working. Homecoming just wrapped up. Shout out to Delaware State University. We won our homecoming game 70 to 23. It was pouring down, raining outside, but man, we had such a great time on the plots. And homecoming is always such a good vibe. You talking about, you know, feeling busy and moving and grooving and doing all the things. I was just saying homecoming is like the only time where you literally actually feel carefree. If I'm being honest, I think when I go on vacation, it's cool and you feel carefree. But like, there's always subtle reminders that you paying for that shit. Like you. That that vacation is coming out of your big grown pocket and you are only going to do as much as you're willing to pay for homecoming. I mean, it's not like everything is free at homecoming, but because you're on campus and you're on the plots, you're not really there's, you know, you're at the football game, there's not much you gotta come out of pocket for. So everything is really in the vein of come one, come all, have a good time. And it feels like it reminds you of the time when you. Yeah, like you were just in college and having that great time. I ran into so many people shout out to, you know, I was Ms. Black and Gold. When I was at Delaware State University, I ran into another set of Ms. Black and Golds. So Ms. Black and Gold is the Ms. Of Alpha Phi Alpha, which is the Greek fraternity. And Delse's chapter is Gamma Sigma. So I. I believe I was like spring 13 when. When the Alphas came back to campus, that is the year that I was Miss Black and Gold. But I met other misses. I got out the car and there were like. There was like a girls and like, you know, their whole clique getting ready to head on over to the big cookout. And she was like, oh, my God, Breakfast club. And she was like, I didn't know you were miss. And I'm like, do I not talk about that enough? Yes, I was Ms. Black and Gold, which was fire too, because shout out to the Alphas. Gamma Sigma, the Alphas at Del State University, they are literally my brothers. When. When I was Miss Black and Gold and that line came back onto campus. And I keep saying line. For those of you guys who did not go to hbcu, when I say line, I'm referring to. So each fraternity has a different line of brothers. So every year or ever so often, they're able to bring new members. That is called a line. So they're line brothers because they're all, you know, they pledge on the line together. So spring 13 was the line that I. They. I was gonna say that I crossed, but I didn't cross. They crossed. But I was Miss Black and Golden. And we just got so close. Like, they used to let me, like, fake travel with them and like, hang with them. We threw events together. They got in trouble and all the things, but we did it together. And it was such a good time. So they'll forever cemented. So that was amazing. Then we headed on over to the Kappa plots. So again, for those of you guys who are not familiar, that is another Greek fraternity. On the way there, we walked by. Look, I got to say hi to all my Q friends, AKA Friends, Delta friends, the Greek, like, culture. The Divine Nine. They call them the Divine Nine because there are nine fraternities and sororities that are in the total. Divine Nine. The Divine Nine are made up of individuals who wanted to become Greek organization. So they wear the Greek letters. But that really creates the campus culture while you're on campus, while you're undergrad. But also even when you come back to campus, you know, the Plots, which is where all the Greek organizations are, is where our biggest event is hosted. That's where there's multiple DJs, there's food, there's community dancing, just stepping, all of the things you find there. And I'm not Greek. I am a gdi. I'm a goddamn individual. But a lot of my friends are Greek. And again, you know, while I was at college and even now coming back as an alumni, you just realize how powerful the Divine Nine is. And that's why Kamala went and spoke to those SGROs versus being anywhere else she was supposed to be. Because Kamala, who is an aka, she's a Alpha Kappa Alpha, a part of the Greek divine nine, understands the power and community that HBCUs possess, but especially within that divine nine. So, yeah, this weekend was just really great. Real quick recap of that. This weekend was just so great. And I'm just proud. I'm so proud to be an HBCU alum. I'm so proud to be at different places, being able to talk about it because I literally remember people telling me that going to HBCU was going to make my life after college hard because people just didn't hire people from HBCUs. And HBCUs didn't have the best reputation, reputations. And I remember my school, Del State, if you're from Delaware, people will call it the 13th grade, all the things. And here I am now. So always a great time to be back at homecoming, letting the people know that Del State is where it's at.

Hey everyone.

Lauren LaRosa
Ed Helms here and hi, I'm Kal Penn and we're the hosts of Irsay The Audible and iHeart Audiobook Club.
- [10:43]
Ed Helms
This week on the podcast, I am sitting down with Jenny Garth, host of the iHeart podcast. I choose me to discuss the new Audible adaptation of the timeless Jane Austen classic Pride and Prejudice. This is not a trick question. There's no wrong answer. What role would I play?
- [11:03]
Lauren LaRosa
You know what? I can see you as Mr. Darcy. You got a little Colin Firth.
- [11:09]
Ed Helms
Okay, that's really sweet. I appreciate that. But are you sure I'm not the dad? I'm not Mr. Bennett. Here, listen to Earsay the Audible and iHeart Audiobook Club on the iHeartradio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

Lauren LaRosa
Now moving right along, talking about community and, you know, conversations and all the things. I was watching this interview, Kirk Franklin, he has a series and I've been telling everybody I know about this series. So Kirk Franklin has a series on his YouTube channel. It's called Den of Kings. He has done about three to four episodes. He drops, it seems like he drops about once a month. And on each episode he always has these like really impactful, well known black men in entertainment. So this episode, he had Ray J, he had Nle Choppa, he had Jonathan Majors, he had Kev on stage and he had Dr. J. Barnett, who has the Just Heal podcast here on the Black Effect network. He's one of my Black Effect cous. So, you know, all these men are here, they're on this podcast. And prior to this episode, the episode before this one, he had Tyler Perry. He had. There's an episode with Jeezy. Like he just brings together such big names and they're so vulnerable. So this, this episode was no different. Now the opening of this episode, they got deep from the very opening, right? Within the first 20 minutes, we learned that Jonathan Majors had attempted to commit suicide. It was on suicide watch during the time when all of his domestic, alleged domestic violence, you know, that whole situation was going on to the point where he says he couldn't even be left alone. And it wasn't something that him and Megan Good ever spoke about as far as like, you know, him saying, I don't need to be left alone. But because they had discussed some of his thoughts around suicide and the fact that he had actually written a suicide letter, she wasn't leaving him alone. One of the reoccurring themes of this episode, which didn't happen on purpose, to be honest with you, was knowledge because of life experience or knowledge because of age. So every single time Kirk Franklin does these episodes, what I think is like really, really fire amongst the producers or whoever. Maybe it's Kirk Franklin putting these episodes together, but kudos to him or the producers or whoever. They do a really good job of not just finding people who have these amazing stories that you would never think would like mesh together. And not that I think Ray J and any Nle Chop or whoever don't get along, even though they did kind of had little moments in here. But it was all love, though. It was a very like, it was, it was very much brotherly love. Not to sound corny or cliche, but it's very much that like it was. We going to be honest, I'm going to tell you how I'm feeling, but I love you though. But I just would never think to put all these, the names I just named to you guys, Kevin Stage, Ray J and Ali chapel, Jonathan Majors, Dr. J. Burnett. I would never think to put them together in one interview, but it worked so well. Because what I realized is that there were different generations represented in the room. But as men, they all had such real life experiences with self harm, with the struggle to be vulnerable. Not just to, you know, their partners, but especially that, but to the world. They had all gone through instances where that lost. For Jonathan Majors, the lost, you know, that he, the loss that he talked about was what we witnessed him go through. He lost his career. He was isolated. He was, you know, all these things. We, we watched all of that, right? For Kevin Stage, he talked about the loss of his brother, sudden loss of his brother too, because he says his brother had survived cancer and then just out of nowhere got really, really sick. For Ray J, he talked about losing his family and not being, you know, there day to day with his kids and that whole co parenting struggle. Dr. J. Barnett talks about the, you know, after he's not playing football anymore. And Ellie Choppa talks about, you know, having to shed parts of himself because internally he just was not okay. But also he talks about loss, too, in the physical sense of losing people and what growing up around, you know, death has been like. Now, during this conversation, I think. I think one of the biggest takeaways has been not takeaways, but one of the biggest conversations out of this conversation. And it's unfortunate too, because I think if you go watch this full conversation, there was a lot more to it than just this has been Nle Choppa. And, you know, the fact that, you know, Jonathan Majors kind of had to, you know, question to him a bit about some things. It was about the Bible. Let's take a listen.
- [16:35]
Nle Choppa
In Christianity, it's a thing where people praise the Son more than they praise the Father. And that's what I don't like. Okay, because. Because if we are man made in a likeness, Jesus is our brother. You get what I'm saying? Why would I drop down and praise my brother instead of praising my father? And that goes back to honoring your parents. I just gotta say something good. Have you read the Bible? I read the Bible. I listen to the Bible I received from Source straight. I would say read it again, sir.
- [17:24]
Lauren LaRosa
The metric question. Ray K. And then there was the part where Ray J basically felt like. Because there were a few times where Kirk Franklin kind of had to, like, ask Nle Choppa, like, hey, okay, cool. Let me, like, he was trying to talk and explain. Nle Choppa was. He also wanted to explain and share. And I think whenever you're talking about things so personal to people, experiences in elite Chapa also talked about losing his grandfather. Everything is a priority to every person because they personally experienced that. And I think what we witnessed was Nle Choppa was in a very safe space where he felt safe enough to open up. But also, I think he has arrived at a lot of different destinations for himself internally, whether that's spiritually, mentally. And I think he just wanted to share the light that he feels daily. But I wasn't. I wouldn't say that he intentionally was not trying to listen. I just think. I think he didn't. I think sitting back and watching this conversation, he probably will definitely see, like, okay, I could have, like, listened here. I could have allowed this person to just have their feels and, you know, not jumped in here. But again, I think it was a thing of. He felt so much love in the room. He was just trying to give that back by encouragement and helping people get to where he's at. But I think there were times where it was very obvious that the people he's in conversation with either didn't agree with some of the things that he was saying or the places he said he's arrived at and the way he thinks about things, or they're just not there. And that's totally fine. And they wanted to talk about the fact that they were not there. So Ray J comes in. I mean, he was already physically there, but he begins to speak to Nle Choppa and again, it's all love. And he expresses off the rip. He's a huge fan. You know, Nle is his bro. He knows him. He knows that Nle Choppa has done so much and changed the trajectory of his family through his art and through his career. And he has it figured out. So that's why he doesn't want to hear from anyone else. And it got a little tense for a second, but they brought it back. Let's take a listen.
- [19:41]
Nle Choppa
And Ali is my. And he's smart as fuck and he's his own. He, like you carved out your own way. So you. You understand. I receive that you understand by being your own boss. So nobody can really tell you nothing. No, that's not true.
- [19:55]
Ed Helms
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
- [19:56]
Lauren LaRosa
Let me finish. Let me just.
- [19:57]
Nle Choppa
Let me just finish. Let's. Let me finish.
- [19:59]
Lauren LaRosa
That's not true.
- [20:00]
Nle Choppa
That nobody.
- [20:00]
Lauren LaRosa
No, I know.
- [20:01]
Nle Choppa
No, you listen. No, you listen. No, no, no, you listen too. No, no, no, you listen too. But what I'm saying is you're your like, think about it. And I know your mom. I know you like you manifested where you are right now.
- [20:14]
Lauren LaRosa
Yes, sir.
- [20:15]
Nle Choppa
So you understand that the grace of God.
- [20:17]
Lauren LaRosa
Cool.
- [20:18]
Nle Choppa
That's what you feel. That's what I know.
- [20:21]
Lauren LaRosa
Got it.
- [20:22]
Nle Choppa
Got it. Now, do you feel like you're at that experience level to where you can tell he's give peace some advice? Do I really know what I'm saying? You feel like you can give Jonathan. These are some advice. Do I feel I'm at that level? Yeah. Not successful? No.
- [20:45]
Lauren LaRosa
That's a good question.
- [20:47]
Grainger Announcer
Yeah.
- [20:47]
Nle Choppa
Do you feel like that I can only give where man is willing to receive? That doesn't make any sense. But that doesn't answer the question.
- [20:56]
Lauren LaRosa
Break it down.
- [20:56]
Nle Choppa
Do you feel like your experience. Do you feel like your experience in the world that you can give Jonathan some advice if he's willing to receive? That's rare. I need to smoke a cigarette.
- [21:07]
Lauren LaRosa
So let me jump in and say this. Watch this. But by the end of the conversation, I think one of the things that you could really see was that this. That space that they are in. And I think too, when you're sitting with Kirk Franklin, you feel like you're sitting close to God, which is. Kirk Franklin is such. Like, he's such a. Like, he's such a regular person. And I don't say that to me, I don't think he's of God, because I do. But I've met him. I did a interview with him during the BET media room, and it threw me off how regular he was. Like, I felt like I was just with one of the homies. And I don't know, there's something about people in the church, especially people who lead the church. And Kirk Franklin's not a pastor, he's a gospel singer. But he feels. He's felt like our pastor for all of my life through his music. So I think we look at him as like a faith leader. And I think with faith leaders, there's always something about. There's a sense of safety that you feel with them instantly, ones you can trust anyway. There's a sense of safety. There's a sense of, like, you know, pulling back a mask that no one has to ask you to do. You just do it naturally because you kind of think they have the answers. And even if they don't have the answers, you feel like that's a pillow you can lay your head on and be comforted in. And that's exactly what you see happen throughout this episode. And I think by the end of this conversation, even though it was, you know, it got difficult at times with them all trying to hear each other and them trying to, you know, it was like such a big brother, little brother love situation happening between them and Ellie Choppa.

Lauren LaRosa
By the end of the conversation, I think you could feel that there was no hard feelings taken whatsoever. But you know that these men, like Nle Choppa is huge. Super viral artists, super famous artists. Ray J has been famous his whole life, and he even said on here he hates the church. A lot of it was about growing up in the church and kind of how that hurts. Kev onstage talks a lot about the things that he's been through in the church and being raised in the church and not trusting that anymore. Dr. J. Burnett. Same thing there. Jonathan Majors. You know, everybody has their doubts that they cast, but by the end of this episode, I think we really got to see in real time what it looks like when you allow God to, like, enter into your life and remind you of the fact that it's not only you. Like, everybody in the world has something that they're going through, but we all get through it. And that's why, when I tell y', all, I push Dennis Kings with Kirk Franklin to everybody. I just think the conversations are so authentic. I think the casting for each roundtable is amazing. I think Kirk Franklin handles the conversation so well. Cause he's just such a real n like, and I felt Bad about saying that about Kirk Franklin, but he told me I could say that about him when he came to the Breakfast Club, but it's like the best way you can describe him. Like, he's in control of his surroundings at all times, very much. But he also relinquishes control, too, while still being in control. And that's what he does in these conversations so well. And that's what he did a lot of times here with, you know, this conversation, especially when dealing with Nle Choppa, because I think it was beautiful to see him allow Nle Choppa to be the youngest voice in the room, express how he felt. Not back down from feeling like, I'm young, but my life experience, I should. We can all learn from each other, and I'm not gonna back down from that because I'm younger. But also, Kirk Franklin gave him the space to say, like, literally at one point, Kirk Franklin said to him, I wanna understand that Nle Chapa was talking about, there's a war on, black men. And Kirk Franklin said, for you to be so young, that's kind of profound to hear from you. I wanna understand that, like, he took the time, even in times where I know he felt like Nle wasn't really the most receptive or, you know, of the. Of the conversation. And again, I think he was listening, but I think it's just because he was listening to get his points out. And that was it. Kirk Franklin still made space for him. And I think all the men at the table watching Kirk Franklin do that helped them do it for Nle Choppa and for everybody else. That was at the conversation. That was at the table too. But it was just a good reminder that, like, we all are in different places of our own. Like, we really are all at different points of this big mess that we call life and life be life in man. And you may be one foot further than I am, but if we all sat down and really, you know, hashed it out, we would all learn that, like, we can all learn from each other, and sometimes we need to sit down and all learn from each other. And I think if we did more of that, like, if you thought. If you think about people that, like, you listen to, but you might not agree to, if you've ever agree with. If you've ever sat down and listened to, whether it's like, politics or whatever, personal opinion, whatever relationship advice, if you listen to someone you don't agree with, it might not change your opinion about whether you agree with them or not, but there's always something where you're like, okay, maybe I don't agree with the delivery. Maybe I don't agree with the point. But I can see where that came from. Or I can identify what even the situation that even made that person talk about that, because I've been through that. We are a lot more alike than we are different is my point in this. So make sure you guys go check out that full episode. I could only break down but so much. It was a little over two hours long, and I ain't got that long, y'. All. They don't give me that long here at the latest. But please go check it out. Kirk Franklin is doing amazing things with this show, and I saw a lot of the clips of Nle Choppa and Ray J and Nle Choppa and Jonathan Majors going viral. And I mean, yeah, those were moments. And the feeling was felt when you watch it in full. I can't even say it misrepresents the conversation. Cause, no, it felt a little bit like, okay, I know they getting tired of Nle Choppa, but I think it was a great beginning to end. Watch to see. We might not all agree. We might not all agree how delivery is. We might not all agree that we're all in here taking something away, but we're all creating space nonetheless, because it's love. And that's. That's just.

Y' all could be anywhere with anybody talking about it, but you guys choose to be right here with me every single day. My low riders. This is the Latest with Lauren LaRosa.
