- 0:26Speaker 1: of the grind, checking on in with you guys.

- 0:37Speaker 1: waking up at three am. I keep checking in with
- 0:39Speaker 1: y'all about this because baby, I am struggling this morning.
- 0:43Speaker 1: I freaking barely made it through my alarm, so it's
- 0:46Speaker 1: running late this morning. And I was just thinking about
- 0:50Speaker 1: you know, as you get older, taking vacations from work,
- 0:53Speaker 1: it's like you celebrate the vacation and having the time off.
- 0:56Speaker 2: But man, getting back to work is hard.
- 0:58Speaker 1: Getting back to waking up at three four o'clock in
- 1:00Speaker 1: the morning is insane at thirty three years old. But
- 1:03Speaker 1: I Am not complaining about having to do it. I'm
- 1:06Speaker 1: just tired. I'm tired. But we are almost through the week.
- 1:09Speaker 1: First week back, I got some really good stuff for
- 1:12Speaker 1: you guys today. I'm always excited here on the podcast
- 1:15Speaker 1: when we get to talk about variety of topics, like
- 1:18Speaker 1: I know, we get into the entertainment news and the
- 1:20Speaker 1: pop culture stuff, which is normally like the dating and
- 1:24Speaker 1: you know kind of like the you know how all
- 1:26Speaker 1: those things go. We are going to talk about that
- 1:28Speaker 1: because my girl, Cardi b is out in Paris looking
- 1:31Speaker 1: amazing and there has been a little bit of an
- 1:33Speaker 1: update on her and Stefon Diggs. But before we get
- 1:36Speaker 1: into that in the latest there's a story right now
- 1:41Speaker 1: circulating everywhere. It's all over the place, and I thought
- 1:45Speaker 1: that this story was pretty interesting. So Mattel those that
- 1:49Speaker 1: is a company that makes Barbie. Mattel has actually introduced
- 1:52Speaker 1: its first ever Barbie doll with type one diabetes. They've
- 1:56Speaker 1: been making toys that are representative of like you know,
- 1:59Speaker 1: skin to and disabilities and you know, different things. Right,
- 2:04Speaker 1: this Barbie with type one diabetes is you know, geared
- 2:07Speaker 1: toward expanding representation even more and Mattel wants to inspire
- 2:11Speaker 1: more children with this Barbie. Now, this makes me happy
- 2:14Speaker 1: because I feel like, on face value, when people see
- 2:16Speaker 1: this story. It's like, who would even understand a Barbie
- 2:20Speaker 1: with type one diabetes, right, because this is not a
- 2:22Speaker 1: person who can talk to you about their condition and
- 2:25Speaker 1: what they're experiencing and how they manage it or anything
- 2:28Speaker 1: like that.
- 2:28Speaker 2: So what is the point.
- 2:30Speaker 1: But then I went to look at the Barbie, and
- 2:33Speaker 1: I'm like, Yo, this is fire because not only you
- 2:36Speaker 1: know it, does this Barbie just give Barbie like you
- 2:39Speaker 1: can dress her up, you can dress her down and
- 2:41Speaker 1: change your clothes, but she comes with a lot of
- 2:44Speaker 1: accessories that any young kid dealing with diabetes has to
- 2:49Speaker 1: learn about and has to learn how to carry around,
- 2:51Speaker 1: has to learn how to manage, how to use in
- 2:53Speaker 1: case of emergency, and just in managing their care.
- 2:55Speaker 2: And I don't think that we talk enough about, you know, as.
- 2:59Speaker 1: Keys or when we were kids, how you know what
- 3:02Speaker 1: we played with as far as the dolls and toys,
- 3:05Speaker 1: and what we watched on TV, what we heard on
- 3:07Speaker 1: the radio, what we learned from our friends, how much
- 3:09Speaker 1: it actually influenced our life. And when you think about that,
- 3:12Speaker 1: if any of you guys out their parents, but if
- 3:13Speaker 1: you're a parent of a child dealing with type one diabetes,
- 3:17Speaker 1: I think that this normalizes the conversation for a kid
- 3:21Speaker 1: around diabetes.
- 3:22Speaker 2: It's again where we are.
- 3:25Speaker 1: In our society today, in our medical world today, people
- 3:29Speaker 1: with diabetes, you know, who are managing their care talk
- 3:32Speaker 1: about it outwardly and openly because it is something that
- 3:35Speaker 1: is you know, it's a normal thing for some people today,
- 3:38Speaker 1: and it's been made to be one of those things
- 3:40Speaker 1: that people can talk about because you know, everybody's dealing
- 3:44Speaker 1: with it and because of our technology in our medical system,
- 3:47Speaker 1: it's made it a lot easier for people who were
- 3:49Speaker 1: going through and managing care to do so. But kids
- 3:52Speaker 1: are different kids, don't you know understand that on face
- 3:56Speaker 1: value all the time, like, hey, I'm not the only
- 3:59Speaker 1: person going through this. If their friends and their friend
- 4:02Speaker 1: group depending on how old the kid is, y'all know
- 4:04Speaker 1: how all that goes. They're ousted out or they feel
- 4:08Speaker 1: different and you're not that can mess with a kid.
- 4:10Speaker 1: But I think you know you've seen this Barbie. You're
- 4:11Speaker 1: able to play with this Barbie. Barbie dolls are so
- 4:14Speaker 1: regarded your actual kid and you have a Barbie, there's
- 4:17Speaker 1: an excitement around, you know, seeing this Barbie doll who
- 4:21Speaker 1: is glammed up and dressed up and can go everywhere
- 4:24Speaker 1: with you and it's you know, always just ready to play,
- 4:27Speaker 1: and it just always put together and seeing yourself and
- 4:30Speaker 1: that I think is important, which is why they did,
- 4:33Speaker 1: you know, the ethnically diverse Barbies and all the different things.
- 4:37Speaker 2: Right.
- 4:38Speaker 1: So, there was a press release that came from Mattel,
- 4:41Speaker 1: and the press release read that Mattel is announcing a
- 4:44Speaker 1: new Barbie.
- 4:45Speaker 2: This addition is going to be an addition to the
- 4:47Speaker 2: line that.
- 4:48Speaker 1: Enables more children to see themselves reflected and Barbie in
- 4:51Speaker 1: encourages dialplay that extends beyond a child's own lived experiences.
- 4:55Speaker 1: Mattel says they want to foster a greater sense of
- 4:57Speaker 1: inclusion and empathy. See, we just talked about that pillars
- 5:00Speaker 1: and all of the pillars of the Barbie brand. Now
- 5:03Speaker 1: this Barbie because they want to make sure the design
- 5:05Speaker 1: truly captures, you know, what it's like to be a
- 5:07Speaker 1: part of the Type one diabetes community. They say that
- 5:10Speaker 1: Barbie the brand worked closely with Breakthrough T one D
- 5:14Speaker 1: which is the leading global Type one diabetes research and
- 5:18Speaker 1: advocacy organization, and that organization is actually committed to celerating
- 5:22Speaker 1: life change and breakthrough secure prevent and treat type one
- 5:26Speaker 1: diabetes and all of its complications. So Barbie worked with
- 5:29Speaker 1: this organization because they wanted to make sure they accurately
- 5:33Speaker 1: showed the medical equipment that this Barbie comes with, because
- 5:36Speaker 1: this is the medical equipment that anyone with this condition
- 5:40Speaker 1: may utilize at the same time. So that's a part
- 5:43Speaker 1: of the Barbie's look, and it has a very stylish
- 5:46Speaker 1: look and feel, like you know, it matches the Barbie's
- 5:49Speaker 1: outfits and things of that nature. So again, it just
- 5:51Speaker 1: makes it very kid inclusive. We all are inclusive no
- 5:55Speaker 1: matter what we're dealing with on the day to day.
- 5:57Speaker 1: Friendly some of the things that the Barbie comes with
- 5:59Speaker 1: a continuous glue coost monitor.
- 6:01Speaker 2: And I also think too that this is fire because if.
- 6:03Speaker 1: You are a kid and you're having to learn about,
- 6:05Speaker 1: you know, your glucose monitor and wearing it on your
- 6:07Speaker 1: arm and what it's for and why you have to
- 6:09Speaker 1: wear it and why it's important, it's the same way
- 6:12Speaker 1: as if a kid were to watch a cartoon or
- 6:14Speaker 1: something like that that in a very kid friendly way
- 6:16Speaker 1: breaks down type one diabetes and how to care for it,
- 6:19Speaker 1: like you can do it through the Barbie.
- 6:21Speaker 2: If you are that child's parent.
- 6:23Speaker 1: So the glucose monitors are small, they're very wearable devices
- 6:26Speaker 1: and what they're for is they continually measure a person's
- 6:29Speaker 1: blood sugar levels. And then in addition to this, the
- 6:32Speaker 1: Barbie even comes with the phone to help track her
- 6:34Speaker 1: blood sugar levels throughout the day. They also have an
- 6:37Speaker 1: insulin pump that comes with Barbie, which we know is
- 6:39Speaker 1: you to figure out, you know, what your insulin dosage
- 6:42Speaker 1: should be, and that's attached to her waist. She has
- 6:44Speaker 1: a blue polka dot outfit on now the Poko dot outfit.
- 6:48Speaker 1: It's the top matching a skirt and it has ruffles
- 6:50Speaker 1: on it. The colors themselves represent diabety awareness. And then
- 6:53Speaker 1: the Barbie also comes with a purse. Now the dog
- 6:56Speaker 1: comes with a blue pastel purse. The kids love to
- 6:58Speaker 1: take the purses off the Barbies and put it back
- 7:00Speaker 1: on and interchange the outfits. But inside of the purse
- 7:03Speaker 1: the Barbie carries and I thought that this was really
- 7:06Speaker 1: important because I remember having a family member and my
- 7:09Speaker 1: family with diabetes and they would have to eat certain
- 7:12Speaker 1: snacks throughout the day to keep their levels in a
- 7:15Speaker 1: certain place. Inside of the Barbie's purse, she carries very
- 7:19Speaker 1: essential things. So she carries her type one diabetes supplies,
- 7:23Speaker 1: and she also carries snacks when she's on the go,
- 7:26Speaker 1: which is again a perfect way to explain to your child, like, look,
- 7:29Speaker 1: here's how your life is set up. Your friends may
- 7:31Speaker 1: and I have to snack on these type of things
- 7:33Speaker 1: throughout the day, but here is why you have to.
- 7:36Speaker 1: And here's how Barbie carries hers, and here's how you
- 7:38Speaker 1: should carry yours. I thought that this was fire and
- 7:41Speaker 1: it also touched my heart to hear I also, you know,
- 7:44Speaker 1: it's to me. I never like to hear about kids
- 7:46Speaker 1: who are dealing with different illnesses. I just think that
- 7:51Speaker 1: kids are just so innocent. They don't have a choice
- 7:53Speaker 1: at you know, how they're born, when they're born, and
- 7:56Speaker 1: all those type of things. So it's just always a
- 7:58Speaker 1: very sensitive topic when you talk about kids. We're dealing
- 8:00Speaker 1: with any medical condition that has to be managed in
- 8:03Speaker 1: the care because also their kids they don't understand you know,
- 8:07Speaker 1: intolen dosages and having to take into it and you know,
- 8:11Speaker 1: having to check in on things. So I thought that
- 8:13Speaker 1: this was a dope way to be able to have
- 8:15Speaker 1: a conversation, especially if you're a parent, to be able
- 8:17Speaker 1: to do so and be able to help them understand
- 8:19Speaker 1: and managing their care.
- 8:21Speaker 2: Now we're going to take a swing of things, a
- 8:23Speaker 2: hard swing here in the latest.
- 8:25Speaker 1: But I mean we're still talking about parents because we're
- 8:28Speaker 1: going on over to our girl, Cardi B. Now, Cardi
- 8:30Speaker 1: B is out in Paris for a couture a fashion week,
- 8:35Speaker 1: and she has been killing it. Carti has literally been
- 8:38Speaker 1: the eye of the week, which is not uncommon anytime
- 8:42Speaker 1: Carti does these fashion weeks, especially when she has new
- 8:44Speaker 1: music coming. She uses the opportunity as a platform to
- 8:47Speaker 1: eat it up and to cause conversation around herself and
- 8:50Speaker 1: that she has been doing the looks have been looking.
- 8:53Speaker 1: Carti has a stylist. His name is Colin Carter. Colin
- 8:56Speaker 1: has been working with Carty since the start of her career.
- 8:58Speaker 1: Colin is amazing, Okay. Colin is one of those stylists
- 9:01Speaker 1: that tell stories throughout all of the clothing that he's
- 9:04Speaker 1: stalling his talent in. He works with Victoria Monet, now,
- 9:09Speaker 1: Kelly Rowland, so many amazing people, but it is very
- 9:12Speaker 1: obvious Cardi B is his muse and they are so
- 9:15Speaker 1: amazing together. Now, the reason why I'm talking about all
- 9:17Speaker 1: this Paris fashion week stuff is because Cardi B was
- 9:20Speaker 1: over in Paris Fashion Week minded her cute business. Okay,
- 9:24Speaker 1: she decided to scrub I'm gonna safe for whatever reason. Now,
- 9:27Speaker 1: because we talked about this on the Breakfast Club and
- 9:29Speaker 1: I said that the reports were that she scrubbed Stefan Diggs,
- 9:33Speaker 1: who she is currently dating, the NFL player, from her
- 9:37Speaker 1: Instagram and because of that, the reports were that there
- 9:40Speaker 1: was trouble in Paraditce that they may have been broken up,
- 9:43Speaker 1: and there is now an additional report that says that
- 9:46Speaker 1: is not true. So what happened was Stefan Diggs does
- 9:50Speaker 1: these YouTube content videos. These videos show like him working out,
- 9:54Speaker 1: him doing you know, the community give back days that
- 9:56Speaker 1: he does. It's just kind of like a you know,
- 9:58Speaker 1: you're going along on a ride and and day and
- 10:00Speaker 1: his life type of thing. In one of those content videos,
- 10:03Speaker 1: there is a video of Cardi B working out with
- 10:07Speaker 1: Stepan Diggs. Now it is obvious that this video is older.
- 10:10Speaker 1: I would say about MAYB. About a month ago, Cardi
- 10:12Speaker 1: B had posted video from the gym with Stephan Diggs
- 10:16Speaker 1: and she was encouraging him. Let's take a listen to
- 10:18Speaker 1: that video because it was hilarious. We get to it
- 10:26Speaker 1: by seven.
- 10:32Speaker 2: That's right, Like we knew she ain't been in the
- 10:36Speaker 2: gym with him.
- 10:36Speaker 1: You know, that wasn't a startling revelation that didn't make
- 10:39Speaker 1: us think, Okay, there is no trouble in Paradise. But
- 10:43Speaker 1: it's the timing with Cardi B recently being separated from
- 10:46Speaker 1: Offset and trying to get back out there and have
- 10:49Speaker 1: talked about how hard the separation has been for her
- 10:53Speaker 1: off set, talking about how hard it has been for
- 10:54Speaker 1: him and trying to figure out cod parenting. Cardi B
- 10:57Speaker 1: stepping back out in Dayton is a big thing because
- 11:00Speaker 1: we've seen Cardi being Offset separate before, but Cardi B
- 11:05Speaker 1: normally goes back to OFFSET, and now we're seeing her
- 11:08Speaker 1: in a castle with Stefan Diggs. This is the guy
- 11:10Speaker 1: she's dating who took her to that castle to stay
- 11:13Speaker 1: for a bit for vacation.
- 11:15Speaker 2: So it wasn't a big surprise.
- 11:17Speaker 1: You know, we heard Cardy in the gym cheering on
- 11:19Speaker 1: her men, but the timeline was definitely something to point
- 11:22Speaker 1: to because it is in the midst of all this
- 11:24Speaker 1: conversation of is their trouble in Paradise? With Cardi B
- 11:27Speaker 1: and Stephan Diggs, and I think a lot of people too.
- 11:29Speaker 1: Not only are there people out there that are rooting
- 11:31Speaker 1: for Cardi and want to see her move on and
- 11:33Speaker 1: be happy, or you know, even if she decides to
- 11:35Speaker 1: stay wherever she's at, they want to see her happy. Right,
- 11:37Speaker 1: But there are people out there that feel like Stefon
- 11:40Speaker 1: Diggs is not a great match for her because there
- 11:43Speaker 1: is conversations around him and other women often, and you
- 11:46Speaker 1: know he's a NFL player. Just all of the things, right.
- 11:49Speaker 1: Cardi B on her Twitter account retweets a clip. So
- 11:54Speaker 1: there was a fan account that tweeted a clip of
- 11:57Speaker 1: Cardi B working out with Stefon Diggs in a new
- 11:59Speaker 1: YouTube video. The tweet said Cardi B working out with
- 12:01Speaker 1: Stephon Diggs and Stepan's new YouTube video uploaded today with
- 12:05Speaker 1: a heart. Cardi B's Twitter account then reposted the video. Now,
- 12:10Speaker 1: all the breakup rumors were swirling, right, I reached out
- 12:13Speaker 1: to Cardi B's team for an update of.
- 12:14Speaker 2: Like, hey, what is going on?
- 12:16Speaker 1: She just deleted the photos because you know, this is
- 12:18Speaker 1: a part of the rollout as far as like she
- 12:20Speaker 1: wants to clear her Instagram and make it all about
- 12:22Speaker 1: her and her music. Not that she's using him for
- 12:24Speaker 1: the rollout because that also is a conversation. I don't
- 12:26Speaker 1: believe that though. I actually believe that when Cardi is
- 12:28Speaker 1: publicly seen with somebody and she's invested in them, she is.
- 12:31Speaker 1: It was the same way with all said. I've been
- 12:32Speaker 1: told you know, there was no comment, so you know
- 12:35Speaker 1: that it was left open. So when people see her
- 12:37Speaker 1: retweet this and she hasn't said anything about anything in
- 12:39Speaker 1: the midst of all this, hey, are y'all still together?
- 12:41Speaker 2: What is going on?
- 12:42Speaker 1: Is their trouble in paradise? Of course you take that
- 12:44Speaker 1: a's oh okay, they're good then heard you? So. A
- 12:48Speaker 1: source close to Cardi B and Stephon Diggs actually told
- 12:52Speaker 1: TMZ that Stefan Diggs and Cardi B are not officially
- 12:55Speaker 1: broken up in spite of you know, anything that is
- 12:59Speaker 1: swirling around, in spite of her removing him from her Instagram.
- 13:03Speaker 2: And then Cardi B went on Twitter.
- 13:05Speaker 1: It seems like she was responding to all of the
- 13:07Speaker 1: noise online about them.
- 13:09Speaker 2: This is in true Cardi B. Fashion.
- 13:10Speaker 1: Okay, She tweeted, check the f up, go to dinner,
- 13:13Speaker 1: go shopping, go to the park, get off the internet,
- 13:17Speaker 1: dot dot enough in all caps with exclamation points, like
- 13:20Speaker 1: she is.
- 13:20Speaker 2: Tired of the people talking about her, like y'all ain't
- 13:22Speaker 2: got nothing else better to do.
- 13:23Speaker 1: Now. I don't know exactly what is going on right,
- 13:26Speaker 1: Like I don't know if the scrubbing of the Instagram
- 13:28Speaker 1: because for me, even when I reached out to her team,
- 13:31Speaker 1: I said, look, even if it's nothing going on, because
- 13:34Speaker 1: they literally just went Instagram official. What Cardi b posted
- 13:37Speaker 1: that was Memorial Day. It's only we just went through
- 13:40Speaker 1: fourth of July. That's all of this stuff is new.
- 13:43Speaker 1: There's a lot of eyes there because it's new. So
- 13:46Speaker 1: her scrubbing him, she instantly knows that's going to send
- 13:49Speaker 1: a message, even if she is not intending for it to.
- 13:53Speaker 2: You gotta know what's going to So what's the message.
- 13:56Speaker 1: I still don't know why that happened, why he was
- 14:00Speaker 1: from her Instagram, But as of now, the update is
- 14:03Speaker 1: they are not completely broken up. And I also don't
- 14:05Speaker 1: know exactly what that means either, because you can be
- 14:09Speaker 1: not completely broken up with somebody and still going through
- 14:12Speaker 1: whatever you're going through behind the scenes, trying to figure
- 14:14Speaker 1: it out or whatever, and I don't want that for
- 14:15Speaker 1: CARTI I feel like at this.
- 14:17Speaker 2: Point CARTI has been through enough publicly.
- 14:20Speaker 1: She has kids, her babies are getting older to the
- 14:22Speaker 1: point where you know, they might venture onto a TikTok
- 14:25Speaker 1: or you know, or whatever, and I don't want. I
- 14:28Speaker 1: just would hate to be a mom trying to figure
- 14:29Speaker 1: it out in this space where I'm super famous. I
- 14:32Speaker 1: have my babies, my kid's father is super famous as well.
- 14:35Speaker 1: The new guy I'm dating is super famous as well,
- 14:38Speaker 1: and I have to publicly go through anything that is
- 14:40Speaker 1: more than love and happiness. But that's the update as
- 14:43Speaker 1: of now. Anything additional, y'all know, I'm trying to figure
- 14:46Speaker 1: it out. For y'all, I will bring it back here
- 14:49Speaker 1: to the latest with Lauren and Rosa because that is
- 14:51Speaker 1: what we do. As I tell you, guys, every episode.
