- 0:28Speaker 3: Charlamagne Tha God is here. We are just sitting and
- 0:32Speaker 3: discussing the fact that I went on The View for
- 0:34Speaker 3: the very first time.
- 0:35Speaker 1: Charlamagne invited me on The View with him.
- 0:37Speaker 4: I wasn't discussing shit. You asked me to come talk
- 0:39Speaker 4: on your podcast about our experience.
- 0:41Speaker 1: Me and Taylor were discussing it.
- 0:42Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sorry.
- 0:43Speaker 1: Yes. Hi, Taylor, who's editing this episode.
- 0:45Speaker 2: Oh, hey, Taylor gang. How are you? Yes.
- 0:46Speaker 3: Me and Taylor were discussing it, and I mentioned it.
- 0:49Speaker 3: We do something here on the podcast called- Behind the
- 0:51Speaker 3: scenes of The Grind. It's a daily check-in where it
- 0:54Speaker 3: makes me sit down and ask myself, how am I
- 0:56Speaker 3: doing for real?
- 0:58Speaker 4: I really wish you would act like you've been places before,
- 1:00Speaker 4: but you haven't. You've never been to The View. It's
- 1:02Speaker 4: your first time. What are you looking at me like
- 1:04Speaker 4: that for?
- 1:04Speaker 1: Because.
- 1:05Speaker 2: What you mean? Like, what?
- 1:07Speaker 1: This is what I'm talking about.
- 1:09Speaker 2: No, I'm just saying, it was your first time on
- 1:11Speaker 2: The View.
- 1:11Speaker 3: Taylor, it was my first time, but what you talking
- 1:13Speaker 3: about acting like I ain't been nowhere?
- 1:15Speaker 2: No, but I'm just saying you're excited.
- 1:17Speaker 1: I am so excited.
- 1:19Speaker 4: That's what makes me excited. It makes me excited that
- 1:22Speaker 4: you're excited about, you know, those opportunities.
- 1:25Speaker 1: Yes.
- 1:25Speaker 3: And also, too, my podcast is almost like, not almost,
- 1:28Speaker 3: it's like they've been along the ride with me. So
- 1:31Speaker 3: I take them everywhere, especially like in these special episodes
- 1:33Speaker 3: like this. So don't ruin it for us.
- 1:35Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:35Speaker 1: Okay.
- 1:36Speaker 2: So what do you want from me exactly?
- 1:37Speaker 3: I want you to talk about, first of all, why
- 1:40Speaker 3: did you ask me to go there?
- 1:42Speaker 4: Because since I've met you and know you and see
- 1:48Speaker 4: your work ethic and see the talent that you possess,
- 1:52Speaker 4: I'll always see you in the daytime.
- 1:53Speaker 2: Talk show space. The daytime talk show space is definitely
- 1:56Speaker 2: going to evolve, right?
- 1:57Speaker 4: Like, you see it changing now. Like, you see Kelly
- 1:59Speaker 4: Clarkson isn't on anymore. Sherri Shepherd isn't on anymore. You know,
- 2:03Speaker 4: Wendy Williams been long gone, right? But you see that
- 2:08Speaker 4: that whole landscape is changing because... It costs a lot
- 2:12Speaker 4: to produce a lot of those shows. I think shows
- 2:14Speaker 4: like The View will continue to talk. The Talk is
- 2:17Speaker 4: one that's no longer around, but I think the shows
- 2:19Speaker 4: like The View will continue to thrive because.
- 2:21Speaker 2: They're live, right? They're in the moment.
- 2:24Speaker 1: They infiltrate, too.
- 2:26Speaker 4: Yes, and they infiltrate because they're part of the daily
- 2:29Speaker 4: conversation all the time. They're either creating conversation or they're
- 2:32Speaker 4: a part of the conversation. And I see you in
- 2:34Speaker 4: that space. I just think one day you'll be in
- 2:36Speaker 4: that space. Like, you know, even your name. Like, even
- 2:39Speaker 4: when Whoopi called you last night and bought you out yesterday,
- 2:42Speaker 4: you said, like, the way she said your name, I
- 2:43Speaker 4: don't know if she thought you were Spanish or something.
- 2:45Speaker 2: She was like, Lauren La Rosa.
- 2:46Speaker 1: Yeah, people be thinking I'm, like, Dominican or something.
- 2:49Speaker 2: But is there something about that name?
- 2:50Speaker 4: Is this.
- 2:51Speaker 2: Because your real name is Boyd, right?
- 2:53Speaker 1: My last name. La Rosa is my real name. It's
- 2:55Speaker 1: my middle name.
- 2:56Speaker 2: Oh, okay, okay. Lauren Boyd just sounds dumb. But Lauren LaRosa.
- 2:59Speaker 1: Which is how you think my Lenard sounds like.
- 3:01Speaker 2: Lenard.
- 3:02Speaker 1: Just a little slow.
- 3:03Speaker 2: But Lauren LaRosa.
- 3:04Speaker 4: I don't know, it's just something about that name and
- 3:06Speaker 4: something about you that I just see you, you're going
- 3:09Speaker 4: to be in that daytime talk show space one day.
- 3:11Speaker 4: Whatever that daytime talk show space looks like in the future.
- 3:13Speaker 2: You're going to be there.
- 3:14Speaker 4: So I just felt like, man, let her get a
- 3:17Speaker 4: taste of that now.
- 3:18Speaker 2: I told you that yesterday, so you can get a
- 3:20Speaker 2: glimpse into what your future looks like.
- 3:21Speaker 3: So we have the clip of a part of the
- 3:23Speaker 3: conversation we had yesterday when you was getting your makeup
- 3:25Speaker 3: done and getting your lashes put on.
- 3:27Speaker 1: But you was.
- 3:27Speaker 2: Recording me without me knowing is what you're saying.
- 3:29Speaker 1: You saw the camera. You look right dead in the camera.
- 3:32Speaker 1: I have it on video. I look in the camera?
- 3:33Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:34Speaker 1: You literally saw him recording you.
- 3:35Speaker 2: Let me hear what I said first.
- 3:37Speaker 1: How did it feel being out there? It felt great.
- 3:41Speaker 1: It felt like I'm doing what I'm, you know. Don't
- 3:45Speaker 1: share me. It felt like I'm doing what I'm doing.
- 3:47Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 3:47Speaker 1: It didn't feel like, oh, my God, oh, my God, oh,
- 3:49Speaker 1: my God. It felt like, girl, what? Do this.
- 3:51Speaker 2: That's what I told you yesterday, though. I said, this
- 3:53Speaker 2: is a glimpse into your future. What's crazy is that's
- 3:56Speaker 2: what Sonny and Whoopi was talking about backstage. Because I
- 3:59Speaker 2: was saying.
- 4:00Speaker 4: How shows like this will last. Because they're on live
- 4:06Speaker 4: every day. They're driving conversation. They're a part of the conversation.
- 4:11Speaker 4: Will it be scaled down?
- 4:12Speaker 2: Yes. But a show like The View can exist in
- 4:16Speaker 2: this now and future climate.
- 4:17Speaker 3: When you say realize, you did. You said, I'm exactly
- 4:20Speaker 3: where I'm supposed to be. Why do you remind me
- 4:22Speaker 3: of all that all the time? You do it multiple times.
- 4:24Speaker 4: Because I know imposter syndrome is real. Imposter syndrome is real. And,
- 4:29Speaker 4: you know, a lot of times you can be in
- 4:32Speaker 4: certain positions and not feel like you're supposed to be there.
- 4:35Speaker 2: But the reality is, no, you're right where God wants
- 4:39Speaker 2: you to be.
- 4:39Speaker 1: Did you deal with that? Like when you were coming up?
- 4:41Speaker 2: Absolutely.
- 4:42Speaker 4: And not only do you deal with it, you ask
- 4:44Speaker 4: yourself like, why does this person want me here with
- 4:47Speaker 4: them right now?
- 4:49Speaker 1: I was doing that all the day before yesterday.
- 4:52Speaker 3: Even when I woke up in the morning, I'm like,
- 4:55Speaker 3: I'm going there, but what am I really about to do?
- 4:57Speaker 2: But you realize why. You realize why when you're in
- 5:00Speaker 2: that moment because you're like, oh, this is going to
- 5:02Speaker 2: be me one day.
- 5:03Speaker 4: I'm going to be on this panel one day. I mean,
- 5:07Speaker 4: it's not like you've done daytime television before. You did
- 5:09Speaker 4: Tamron before.
- 5:10Speaker 3: Yeah, and I was on daytime TV. TMZ Live is
- 5:12Speaker 3: a daytime television show.
- 5:13Speaker 2: But the view is different. That's the legacy.
- 5:14Speaker 3: I was about to say, it's so different. when you're
- 5:16Speaker 3: sitting there with those women who are like I mean that's.
- 5:18Speaker 4: Whoopi and Sonny and Sarah and Alicia and Anna was
- 5:22Speaker 4: there yesterday it's different.
- 5:24Speaker 1: Whoopi said I had a good face I don't believe
- 5:25Speaker 1: that that means I'm gorgeous.
- 5:28Speaker 4: But you know she wears glasses And, like, after doing
- 5:30Speaker 4: the show for a while, it's like she has to
- 5:31Speaker 4: wipe them off every 15 minutes.
- 5:32Speaker 1: She was looking at me for, like, she saw me
- 5:34Speaker 1: the whole time. So she had time for.
- 5:36Speaker 2: Her vision to clear.
- 5:36Speaker 4: But she also had her glasses off for 15 minutes.
- 5:38Speaker 4: So she didn't get a chance to wipe them off.
- 5:39Speaker 4: Remember we did two back-to-back segments.
- 5:41Speaker 1: One was six minutes. One was three minutes.
- 5:42Speaker 2: Let me have my moment.
- 5:42Speaker 4: And then she did a five-minute segment before that.
- 5:44Speaker 2: She didn't have a chance to wipe her glasses off.
- 5:46Speaker 2: Every 15 minutes, she got to clean her glasses.
- 5:47Speaker 1: Shut up.
- 5:49Speaker 3: If you could tell the lowriders, that's our podcast community,
- 5:51Speaker 3: if you could tell the lowriders, because they be riding
- 5:53Speaker 3: for me.
- 5:53Speaker 1: You are not Mexican.
- 5:54Speaker 2: Why the fuck you want to be Mexican so bad?
- 5:56Speaker 3: No.
- 5:56Speaker 2: La Rosa, lowriders, you are not Mexican.
- 6:00Speaker 1: They be riding for me.
- 6:02Speaker 3: When people be talking crazy about the podcast and we
- 6:05Speaker 3: post our episodes and stuff, they be in them comments
- 6:07Speaker 3: getting with the people that be riding.
- 6:08Speaker 2: I ain't never seen no little car emojis in your comments.
- 6:10Speaker 2: No cars. Y'all should have like a little emoji or something, right?
- 6:12Speaker 2: If y'all the lowriders.
- 6:13Speaker 3: No, because I don't want to make it Spanish.
- 6:15Speaker 1: No shade to the Spanish lowriders, but.
- 6:17Speaker 3: If you could tell them anything about understanding that you're
- 6:21Speaker 3: exactly where you're supposed to be, what would you tell them?
- 6:24Speaker 4: All of them ain't where they're supposed to be. I
- 6:25Speaker 4: said you where you're supposed to be. I don't got
- 6:27Speaker 4: no advice to these low-riders. Some of them are probably
- 6:30Speaker 4: right where they're supposed to be because they ain't been
- 6:32Speaker 4: making some dumb-ass choices.
- 6:33Speaker 1: All right, well, that's advice.
- 6:34Speaker 2: Oh, yes, okay, yes. I think that.
- 6:37Speaker 1: I think you know all nine million-plus people.
- 6:39Speaker 2: I think destiny's not a matter of chance. It's a
- 6:41Speaker 2: matter of choice.
- 6:43Speaker 4: And I think that when you make the right choice,
- 6:46Speaker 4: choices you end up in the right situations and when
- 6:49Speaker 4: you make bad choices you end up in the wrong
- 6:52Speaker 4: situations and i think that a few years ago you
- 6:54Speaker 4: made a choice right like yeah and that's what i
- 6:57Speaker 4: i like when you constantly tell that story because it's
- 6:59Speaker 4: true you know when you say things like you know
- 7:02Speaker 4: you had to step away from tmz because.
- 7:03Speaker 2: You just you don't know what it was it.
- 7:06Speaker 4: Was just something telling you it's time for you to
- 7:07Speaker 4: step away from this situation and you know Take the
- 7:11Speaker 4: first step even if you didn't see the rest of
- 7:12Speaker 4: the staircase.
- 7:13Speaker 2: Like, that's God.
- 7:14Speaker 1: I remember Van telling me, go start your career.
- 7:16Speaker 2: He was like, how old are you?
- 7:17Speaker 3: And I was like, I think I was, what was I,
- 7:19Speaker 3: like 30, 31 at the time? He was like, girl,
- 7:21Speaker 3: go start your career. And I was like, in my mind,
- 7:24Speaker 3: I'm like, you know how hard I've been working? But
- 7:26Speaker 3: now I understand what he's saying because it's like, it's
- 7:28Speaker 3: such a, and there's no shade to anything I've done
- 7:30Speaker 3: prior to this, but it's just like, it's different right now.
- 7:32Speaker 4: But it's all steps though. You can't disregard any of it.
- 7:36Speaker 4: You'll realize that as you get older and you get
- 7:39Speaker 4: further along in your career, every single thing played a role.
- 7:42Speaker 4: You can't dismiss TMZ. You wouldn't have learned how to
- 7:45Speaker 4: be a great journalist and a senior news producer.
- 7:48Speaker 2: You wouldn't have met people like Van.
- 7:50Speaker 4: I'm sure you learned a lot from Harvey and who
- 7:52Speaker 4: else was there at the time?
- 7:54Speaker 2: Raquel.
- 7:54Speaker 1: Raquel.
- 7:54Speaker 4: You learned a lot from all of them. You had
- 7:56Speaker 4: relationships that you established there. So when you came to
- 8:01Speaker 4: Breakfast Club, you probably wouldn't have gotten that position at
- 8:04Speaker 4: Breakfast Club if you wasn't in that position before. But
- 8:07Speaker 4: even being here at Breakfast Club... People knew you when
- 8:09Speaker 4: you would make those calls. But now you were able
- 8:11Speaker 4: to say, hey, I'm not at TMZ no more. I'm
- 8:13Speaker 4: on Breakfast Club.
- 8:14Speaker 2: Yeah. All of that, all of it, all of it,
- 8:17Speaker 2: all of it, all of it helps. I don't think
- 8:18Speaker 2: that any of it was wasted.
- 8:21Speaker 3: I don't think that any of it was wasted at all.
- 8:22Speaker 3: But I do, like, as levels and... When you go
- 8:26Speaker 3: through different processes of your life where new things are happening,
- 8:29Speaker 3: you feel it. I think this is the first time
- 8:31Speaker 3: in my life where I really feel so much of
- 8:33Speaker 3: the change because I'm having to do so much more now.
- 8:36Speaker 1: Before, at my other jobs, you just go to work
- 8:38Speaker 1: and you go home.
- 8:39Speaker 3: Now, it's like so much more responsibility on myself and
- 8:43Speaker 3: the choices I'm making matter more.
- 8:45Speaker 1: Everything is different.
- 8:47Speaker 2: That's the beautiful thing. The beautiful thing is, think about
- 8:50Speaker 2: where you were three years ago, four years ago. Think
- 8:53Speaker 2: about where you are now. Think about the opportunities. Think
- 8:57Speaker 2: about the money. Right. And just say to yourself, you know,
- 9:00Speaker 2: I'm really living in the middle of my answered prayer. Yeah.
- 9:05Speaker 4: That's when you realize, like, God is real and you
- 9:08Speaker 4: stop playing around with, you know, your thoughts.
- 9:11Speaker 2: Right. Because I always say you're you're you're.
- 9:13Speaker 4: If your mind can conceive it you can achieve it
- 9:15Speaker 4: your thoughts really do become things like people read The
- 9:17Speaker 4: Secret by Rhonda Byrne but the law of attraction is
- 9:20Speaker 4: real like your thoughts really really truly do become things
- 9:24Speaker 4: so the things you want to happen in your life
- 9:26Speaker 4: you should constantly think about the things you don't want
- 9:28Speaker 4: to happen you gotta dismiss as soon as that shit
- 9:30Speaker 4: pops up in your brain and like you are a
- 9:34Speaker 4: testament to that you're the walking manifestation of manifestation I
- 9:38Speaker 4: think I said that right yes.
- 9:40Speaker 1: Well you got through it you said the S's you're fine.
- 9:43Speaker 2: You see what I'm saying?
- 9:47Speaker 1: Well, thank you for joining us. You going to come back?
- 9:50Speaker 2: You know what?
- 9:51Speaker 1: When we brought out our video set. You know what's crazy, though?
- 9:52Speaker 1: When we brought out our video set, you going to
- 9:53Speaker 1: come back?
- 9:54Speaker 2: Braids can never say that to you.
- 9:55Speaker 1: You know what?
- 9:55Speaker 2: Thank you for joining us.
- 9:56Speaker 1: You know what?
- 9:57Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? You don't think about that.
- 10:00Speaker 3: Started working here and that lady caught up here and
- 10:01Speaker 3: was like, Lord, you still got them braids?
- 10:03Speaker 1: You remember that?
- 10:03Speaker 2: That shit was nasty as fuck. Remember when Lauren had
- 10:06Speaker 2: them braids for like 10 weeks?
- 10:07Speaker 1: First of all.
- 10:08Speaker 2: And they was all fuzzy and looking crazy.
- 10:10Speaker 3: When you get boho braids with good braided hair, you
- 10:13Speaker 3: can wash them.
- 10:14Speaker 2: You get them redone.
- 10:15Speaker 1: The parts be refreshed.
- 10:16Speaker 2: Go back. I got the video. Don't play with me.
- 10:18Speaker 2: I remember what.
- 10:19Speaker 4: You had on before the evening. And that lady called
- 10:21Speaker 4: in here and said, Lauren, you still got them braids?
- 10:24Speaker 1: Ha ha ha! Alright, we're wrapping up.
- 10:27Speaker 4: It's over.
- 10:28Speaker 2: But them shit was nasty. They had the new growth
- 10:30Speaker 2: over them.
- 10:31Speaker 4: It's over. It looked like you had got them in
- 10:32Speaker 4: and then took a brush and just started brushing them as.
- 10:34Speaker 1: Soon as you put them in. Okay, that's what it is.
- 10:36Speaker 1: Anybody that can get new growth hair-wise, that's what you... Yeah,
- 10:39Speaker 1: but I understand. Your new growth is a struggle.
- 10:41Speaker 2: We gotta keep her humble.
- 10:42Speaker 1: Your new growth is a struggle. Find a picture of
- 10:44Speaker 1: Wynne Lawrence.
- 10:45Speaker 2: First since you want to take the lowriders on the
- 10:47Speaker 2: journey with you.
- 10:47Speaker 1: This is an audio podcast.
- 10:49Speaker 2: I'll post it on my Instagram just because.
- 10:50Speaker 1: Right now. We only post video for special guests.

- 11:04Speaker 3: be anywhere with anybody talking about all of the things,
- 11:06Speaker 3: but y'all choose to be with me, my lowriders.
