- 0:59Speaker 1: now that I'm up out of it, I'm like, WHOA.
- 1:01Speaker 3: I was in an overdrive this weekend.
- 1:02Speaker 1: So I told you guys that I was really excited
- 1:04Speaker 1: to head down to Delaware, which is where I am from,
- 1:08Speaker 1: because this weekend I was going to be spending time
- 1:10Speaker 1: with family. We do an annual mother daughter sleepover where
- 1:14Speaker 1: all of the moms and my family, so it's like
- 1:17Speaker 1: generations from like grandma, great grandma, mom, auntie, niece, Like
- 1:21Speaker 1: we all get together. We do a bajama fashion show,
- 1:24Speaker 1: we do like read our poems and our cards to
- 1:26Speaker 1: our mothers and present gifts, have food, you know, just
- 1:29Speaker 1: be together and have good times and have real conversations too.
- 1:34Speaker 1: That's one of the things that I appreciate the most
- 1:35Speaker 1: now that I'm older about this sleepover because this has
- 1:39Speaker 1: actually been happening within my family longer than I've been alive,
- 1:42Speaker 1: So this sleepover is thirty plus years old, and you know,
- 1:45Speaker 1: like now that I'm older, it's like we're also like
- 1:48Speaker 1: we were having a conversation about fribroids and cists and
- 1:53Speaker 1: marriage and dating and why a lot of the women
- 1:56Speaker 1: in my family are not either of the two or dating,
- 2:01Speaker 1: just you know things that I think when you're younger,
- 2:04Speaker 1: you look at like your older family members, it's like
- 2:06Speaker 1: almost perfect, or a lot of things are swept under
- 2:08Speaker 1: the rug.
- 2:09Speaker 3: And things changed when you get older.
- 2:11Speaker 1: So you know, that was like, that's always such a
- 2:14Speaker 1: great way to kick off the Mother's Day weekend. Giving
- 2:17Speaker 1: you know, a different appreciation for all the women in
- 2:19Speaker 1: your family. In the midst of that, though, I do
- 2:23Speaker 1: want to shout out the city of Womington.
- 2:26Speaker 3: I'm from Womington, Delaware.
- 2:28Speaker 1: I went and hosted a open mic night that the
- 2:31Speaker 1: city of Womington created, and literally, like this is in
- 2:35Speaker 1: the midst of the sleepover. So I had to like
- 2:37Speaker 1: duck off for like two hours and not make it
- 2:39Speaker 1: a big deal because I didn't want my grandmother would
- 2:41Speaker 1: be so annoyed if she knew that I was leaving
- 2:44Speaker 1: for any longer than that. So I had to dip off,
- 2:47Speaker 1: go and host this open mic night and shout out
- 2:49Speaker 1: to all of the talent that I met there, different
- 2:53Speaker 1: people I like followed some people you know on streaming
- 2:56Speaker 1: services and stuff like that. And I will be posting more,
- 3:01Speaker 1: you know, just behind the scenes and stuff from that
- 3:03Speaker 1: event on my social media and on my YouTube channel,
- 3:06Speaker 1: Lauren la Rosa TV, and I want you guys to
- 3:08Speaker 1: go check it out. I also just had a really
- 3:10Speaker 1: good time hosting because it's been a minute. But then
- 3:14Speaker 1: after that was over, I dipped back to sleepover. So
- 3:16Speaker 1: we're up till about like what like one two o'clock
- 3:19Speaker 1: in the morning and then you get up and it's
- 3:22Speaker 1: still Mother's Day weekend, so now you gotta do more.
- 3:25Speaker 1: And Saturday we went to the movies, and then Sunday
- 3:29Speaker 1: was actual Mother's Day, so you know, we spent time
- 3:31Speaker 1: together that day. But by Sunday we were burnt out,
- 3:33Speaker 1: and I am basically I need some rest and recuperation,
- 3:38Speaker 1: like I'm a use today to really just like get
- 3:41Speaker 1: back a hold of my life, reclaim my life from
- 3:44Speaker 1: the weekend of the things. I was on the plantation
- 3:46Speaker 1: of Mother's Day this weekend. But to those of you
- 3:50Speaker 1: guys who had a great Mother's Day and celebrated with
- 3:51Speaker 1: your family, I know that it does rejuvenate you, even
- 3:54Speaker 1: though it takes a lot to you know, especially if
- 3:57Speaker 1: you're in charge of the things, if you're facilitating, it
- 4:00Speaker 1: takes a lot to host people and your loved ones,
- 4:03Speaker 1: but it also rejuvenates you. So that's how I am
- 4:06Speaker 1: feeling behind the scenes of the grind. Now let's get
- 4:10Speaker 1: on into the latest, because a lot of this was
- 4:12Speaker 1: unfolding in real time throughout this weekend. So okay, let's
- 4:18Speaker 1: talk about the latest. So over the weekend Mother's Day weekend,
- 4:22Speaker 1: there was a lot of things that were going down. Okay,
- 4:24Speaker 1: I saw a lot of the celebrities popping out for
- 4:26Speaker 1: Mother's Day, celebrating their moms and celebrating being a mom.
- 4:31Speaker 1: I was ripping and running, as I mentioned to you guys,
- 4:33Speaker 1: with my mom and my grandmother. But I did get
- 4:35Speaker 1: a chance to take them to see the Michael Jackson movie.
- 4:39Speaker 1: I will tell you guys, it's not The reports are
- 4:42Speaker 1: not false. So there were reports that came out over
- 4:45Speaker 1: the weekend about how the Michael Jackson movie is still
- 4:48Speaker 1: selling insanely. Over the weekend, the Michael Jackson movie hit
- 4:52Speaker 1: five hundred and seventy seven million dollars at the box
- 4:56Speaker 1: office worldwide, and this puts it in di wrecked conversation
- 5:01Speaker 1: with Bohemian Rhapsody, who they have been competing with for
- 5:06Speaker 1: to become the biggest biopic to ever make over five
- 5:10Speaker 1: hundred million dollars. And when you hear all of these reports,
- 5:14Speaker 1: and you know, I've been following a lot of the
- 5:16Speaker 1: streaming reports too, like I know, Thriller and a bunch
- 5:19Speaker 1: of different Michael Jackson songs have been charting crazy and
- 5:23Speaker 1: streaming crazy since the movie released. Right, Hearing it is
- 5:28Speaker 1: one thing reading it from a headline is another. But
- 5:32Speaker 1: being out in the wild while Michael Jackson has a
- 5:35Speaker 1: movie in theaters with women that are sixty plus, it's
- 5:39Speaker 1: a whole different thing.
- 5:40Speaker 3: That is a whole different ballgame. Baby.
- 5:42Speaker 1: Now, you guys know that I went and saw the movie.
- 5:44Speaker 1: I talked to you guys about that before. But going
- 5:46Speaker 1: with my mother and my grandmother completely different experience. And
- 5:50Speaker 1: I understand why the conversation around the Michael Jackson movie
- 5:54Speaker 1: has not stopped. And I also understand why Mother's Day
- 5:57Speaker 1: Weekend it such a large amount of money for the
- 6:01Speaker 1: movie because when I took my mom and my grandmother,
- 6:05Speaker 1: the joy and the love and the like. My grandma
- 6:09Speaker 1: and my mom are older, so you know, they like
- 6:12Speaker 1: to dance and have a good time, but they're not
- 6:15Speaker 1: really people that like. Well, my mom is a bit
- 6:17Speaker 1: different than my Grandmamma wants to be everywhere with me
- 6:19Speaker 1: all the time. My grandmother is like, she almost didn't
- 6:23Speaker 1: want to go see the movie. She doesn't just like
- 6:25Speaker 1: being around crowds of people anymore. You know, walking is
- 6:28Speaker 1: a big difficult for her. And we you know, my
- 6:31Speaker 1: grandma's almost ninety years old. Even though she does n't
- 6:33Speaker 1: act like it.
- 6:34Speaker 2: Man.
- 6:34Speaker 1: When I tell y'all, when we got in that movie
- 6:36Speaker 1: and that movie started, all of that went out the window.
- 6:39Speaker 1: The movie made them feel so young, and it made
- 6:42Speaker 1: me feel good watching it with them. When I saw
- 6:44Speaker 1: the movie the first time, me and my boyfriend went
- 6:47Speaker 1: and of course it's Michael Jackson, so you're gonna go
- 6:49Speaker 1: see the movie. But I went to really watch it
- 6:51Speaker 1: for work. And I think what I realized over the
- 6:53Speaker 1: weekend because I actually saw this movie two times this weekend.
- 6:57Speaker 1: We also took my boyfriend's mom to see the movie
- 6:59Speaker 1: as well too, y'all.
- 7:01Speaker 3: Beat I just walked in, Yo, I.
- 7:04Speaker 2: Was in a neighborhood. What's going on?
- 7:06Speaker 3: This is the latest? With one of the words of
- 7:07Speaker 3: the podcast, first time man, why latest chair?
- 7:12Speaker 1: Hey, So we're talking about the Michael Jackson movie, and
- 7:15Speaker 1: I was talking about how, like, you know, I've been
- 7:17Speaker 1: seeing all the stream the streaming numbers and all of
- 7:20Speaker 1: the different things that the record set is bricking. Still
- 7:24Speaker 1: I'm not surprised, as Michael Jackson.
- 7:26Speaker 2: Yeah, but I went.
- 7:27Speaker 1: I took my mom and my grandmother to see the
- 7:29Speaker 1: movie this weekend, and it was a completely different experience. Really, yes,
- 7:32Speaker 1: because Okay, so I feel like going myself and being
- 7:37Speaker 1: When I first went, I was in Atlanta younger audience.
- 7:41Speaker 3: We were there, we were really into it.
- 7:42Speaker 1: People were having a good time, but I feel like
- 7:44Speaker 1: we were looking because we had heard so much of
- 7:46Speaker 1: the conversation online and the breakdowns on TikTok and all
- 7:49Speaker 1: this stuff. When I went with my mom and my
- 7:51Speaker 1: grandmother over the Mother's Day weekend, They're completely removed from
- 7:54Speaker 1: all of that. They're just there in real time having
- 7:57Speaker 1: a good time because Michael Jackson reminds them of it,
- 8:00Speaker 1: a younger, feel good time of their life. I've never
- 8:05Speaker 1: seen them as whimsical as they were in that theater,
- 8:07Speaker 1: Like I've never experienced something like that, Like it literally
- 8:10Speaker 1: made me think so differently about the movie and his impact.
- 8:13Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought it was a great movie. I enjoyed
- 8:15Speaker 4: it thoroughly. I don't understand the criticism. People were like,
- 8:18Speaker 4: we didn't learn anything new, Like Michael Jackson is probably
- 8:21Speaker 4: the most documented celebrity of our generation, right, we know
- 8:24Speaker 4: everything about him.
- 8:24Speaker 2: There's nothing new.
- 8:26Speaker 4: I mean, we did know about the I did learn
- 8:28Speaker 4: about the bodyguard and his relationship have being like a
- 8:30Speaker 4: father figure to him. Yeah, but that's something I didn't
- 8:33Speaker 4: know from watching the previous mini series, but otherwise I
- 8:37Speaker 4: thought it was a great time. Man, it felt like
- 8:38Speaker 4: you had a concert. Ja'afar made me think that he
- 8:41Speaker 4: was Michael. Yeah, it was a great movie.
- 8:44Speaker 1: And I just threw beat in here in the mix
- 8:45Speaker 1: on y'all. But be it has to properly introduce himself
- 8:48Speaker 1: and y'all will understand why this Michael and his music
- 8:50Speaker 1: conversation is so on brand.
- 8:53Speaker 3: Be that so let the people know.
- 8:55Speaker 2: So my name is Brian B. Dot Miller. I'm a
- 8:57Speaker 2: music journalist.
- 8:59Speaker 4: I have the background in print journalism from ex Excel,
- 9:04Speaker 4: started rap radar dot com, rap Raido podcasts, MTVVJ, complex,
- 9:10Speaker 4: a whole bunch of other things in between.
- 9:11Speaker 2: So and I went to Delaware State.
- 9:14Speaker 1: Yes, he'd sage, we see you in the world. If
- 9:16Speaker 1: you anywhere else, it's so bad for you. But yeah,
- 9:18Speaker 1: I just it made me really realize. Honestly, you know what,
- 9:22Speaker 1: I walked away feeling like I've walked away feeling like
- 9:25Speaker 1: a dumb ass. Really only because I feel like we
- 9:29Speaker 1: were watching Michael Jackson. I know myself, I feel like
- 9:32Speaker 1: I was watching the Michael Jackson movie from such a
- 9:36Speaker 1: shallow place shallow like like surface level, like just trying
- 9:40Speaker 1: to like I heard about this in the news, and
- 9:43Speaker 1: I want to go watch and see what happens, and
- 9:45Speaker 1: I want to watch to see if there's any other news.
- 9:47Speaker 1: When I watched it with my mom and my grandmother
- 9:49Speaker 1: and I was watching them watch the movie most of
- 9:51Speaker 1: the time, it really changed how I want to be
- 9:56Speaker 1: able to like let people music and things impact me
- 10:00Speaker 1: because the way that it took them to a different
- 10:02Speaker 1: time in their life, Like I literally watched them turn
- 10:05Speaker 1: into little kids.
- 10:06Speaker 4: Yeah, man, Michael had that effect on people. I think
- 10:08Speaker 4: the movie could have been four hours long and nobody
- 10:10Speaker 4: would have objected.
- 10:11Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree.
- 10:12Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree to the point where and I wasn't
- 10:15Speaker 1: even asking them to do it at all. We were
- 10:18Speaker 1: leaving out of the theater and I was like, let
- 10:19Speaker 1: me record this cause like it was. It was funny
- 10:22Speaker 1: hearing my mom and my grandmother.
- 10:24Speaker 2: Who was it a PA theater?
- 10:26Speaker 3: Oh? Yes, that was another thing.
- 10:28Speaker 1: What it was hard. It was four of us. It
- 10:31Speaker 1: was hard to even get seats all together. We had
- 10:33Speaker 1: to sit in the front row wow.
- 10:34Speaker 3: And just lean our seats back because they were recliners.
- 10:37Speaker 1: Because it was so sold out, you might have had
- 10:39Speaker 1: like one or two all weekend. Both times I went
- 10:41Speaker 1: Mother's Day weekend, it was like that wow packed theater.
- 10:44Speaker 1: People still dressing up in Michael Jackson clothing. Like when
- 10:48Speaker 1: you're seeing the impact online and you're hearing the headlines, No,
- 10:52Speaker 1: in real life lines are still like it's still happening.
- 10:55Speaker 1: Like I bought a ticket and text my cousin and
- 10:58Speaker 1: was like, hey, buy a ticket, we're going five seconds.
- 11:00Speaker 3: She couldn't even get a ticket.
- 11:01Speaker 2: It's a wow. Were people acting out in the theater.
- 11:05Speaker 3: No, so I didn't have people. I mean my mom
- 11:07Speaker 3: and my grandma were.
- 11:08Speaker 2: But you know what I mean, like in the aisles
- 11:09Speaker 2: dancing doing a.
- 11:10Speaker 1: Moon walk, and my grandma wasn't doing the moonwalk. But
- 11:13Speaker 1: in that theater, my mom and my grandma were to people.
- 11:16Speaker 1: But I haven't been to any theaters where they were
- 11:17Speaker 1: doing that. But I do think because I missed I
- 11:20Speaker 1: was supposed to go the first night it came out
- 11:21Speaker 1: in Atlanta.
- 11:22Speaker 3: We were there for the podcast Festival, and I missed
- 11:25Speaker 3: the ticket.
- 11:27Speaker 1: We were too late. I think if I would have
- 11:28Speaker 1: went that night, I would have seen that. But people
- 11:30Speaker 1: were like clapping along with the music. People were laughing
- 11:33Speaker 1: along with different things. There's just like a charm to
- 11:37Speaker 1: Michael Jackson that I think they displayed so well, and
- 11:39Speaker 1: you could feel people being charmed by him, but they
- 11:41Speaker 1: weren't like dancing in the aisles and stuff.
- 11:43Speaker 4: I hate that whenever I go to a movie theater
- 11:45Speaker 4: and people are just like acting a fool like sit down.
- 11:47Speaker 1: I've been down for it because listen, listen to my
- 11:51Speaker 1: my grandma.
- 11:52Speaker 3: So my mom, what's your review of the Michael Jackson movie?
- 11:55Speaker 2: No?
- 11:56Speaker 3: He was ready, ready, ready, who neither day?
- 12:00Speaker 2: To me and every mother?
- 12:03Speaker 3: Do you feel good?
- 12:05Speaker 2: Oh?
- 12:06Speaker 3: It makes me feel so young all over again? All right,
- 12:11Speaker 3: come to my mom, are trying to go back this
- 12:13Speaker 3: weekend to see it again?
- 12:14Speaker 4: Wow?
- 12:15Speaker 3: Because it just made them feel so good, like y'all out.
- 12:18Speaker 1: They're like, Lauren, all your year is going to go
- 12:21Speaker 1: see movies you talk about you ain't never seen an impact. No,
- 12:23Speaker 1: this was the first time ever. I was like, Oh,
- 12:27Speaker 1: this is what they talk about when they talk about
- 12:29Speaker 1: celebrity and fame. In Michael Jackson's reach and the way
- 12:32Speaker 1: he made people feel being something we've never seen before.
- 12:36Speaker 4: It was definitely a different level. Mike's life is so grandiose.
- 12:39Speaker 4: The fact that he can have a sequel to his biopick,
- 12:42Speaker 4: It's kind of crazy when you think about it, right.
- 12:43Speaker 4: I think the next biopick that we're going to see
- 12:45Speaker 4: that is going to have this sort of impact probably
- 12:48Speaker 4: Beyonce Destiny if that ever comes out.
- 12:50Speaker 2: You know, Blues got to work cut out for her with.
- 12:53Speaker 1: The manager, and you feel like with the Beyonce is
- 12:55Speaker 1: Beyonce Destiny? Should you think that it's something that we
- 12:58Speaker 1: should do like years and years from now. Yeah, maybe
- 13:01Speaker 1: let's see maybe like fifteen years from now. Yeah, because
- 13:05Speaker 1: I think people missing Michael Jackson and missing like the
- 13:08Speaker 1: feeling that my mom and my grandmother had while in
- 13:10Speaker 1: the theater, they missed that.
- 13:11Speaker 3: They don't get that anymore. I think that that adds
- 13:14Speaker 3: to it as well too, But also.
- 13:15Speaker 4: Think it's a testament to the acting from Ja'afar and Domingo. Yeah,
- 13:20Speaker 4: like I forgot that they were actors. They almost felt
- 13:22Speaker 4: like real people.
- 13:24Speaker 3: You know, Domingo's from West Philly, is he? I didn't either.
- 13:28Speaker 1: I learned that on this press run and I saw
- 13:30Speaker 1: he just got an honorary degree from Temple recently as
- 13:35Speaker 1: well too, So he's getting a lot of his That
- 13:37Speaker 1: was the conversation for Collmen Domingo for a while, because
- 13:39Speaker 1: he's been really good in a lot of roles and
- 13:41Speaker 1: people always felt like he wasn't kind of getting his
- 13:43Speaker 1: just do. I think this movie is helping people to
- 13:47Speaker 1: kind of give him some of his flowers as well too.
- 13:48Speaker 4: Give him an Oscar, give him an Emmy, give him
- 13:50Speaker 4: employee of the Month. I think he killed it. They
- 13:53Speaker 4: both did great jobs. And that's probably one of the
- 13:56Speaker 4: best biopicks I've seen ever. It's up there for like
- 14:00Speaker 4: Selena Ray, It's in that conversation for sure.
- 14:02Speaker 3: Stamped.
- 14:03Speaker 1: All right, y'all, Well, I'll be back at the movies
- 14:05Speaker 1: again this weekend, and I'll keep you guys updated in
- 14:09Speaker 1: the latest as any other new news un folds, because
- 14:12Speaker 1: we know that they are in conversations for the sequel.
- 14:14Speaker 1: We just don't know where, when, how, who, what, Like,
- 14:17Speaker 1: there's a lot we still need to, you know, bring
- 14:19Speaker 1: to you guys. So we will keep you guys updated
- 14:21Speaker 1: here at the latest.
- 14:22Speaker 4: And I don't know if you do this or not,
- 14:24Speaker 4: but I don't buy adult tickets when I go to
- 14:25Speaker 4: the movies. I'll get child tickets.
- 14:27Speaker 1: They don't check that no, because I've got senior tickets
- 14:31Speaker 1: for my mom, my grandma and it was only a
- 14:32Speaker 1: few dollars cheaper, and no one asks me or nothing.
- 14:35Speaker 2: You see what I'm saying, Taylor n I got to
- 14:38Speaker 2: show you min I Vince.
- 14:40Speaker 3: I was telling I was telling my fans, I'm like, yo,
- 14:43Speaker 3: why am I? Probably who cares?
- 14:45Speaker 2: But I'm so happy that you do that and they
- 14:47Speaker 2: don't check it. They don't, And I was I was thinking.
- 14:50Speaker 3: To myself, I'm like, I'm gonna buy kids, because when
- 14:53Speaker 3: do they ever check it? Faced now, I used to
- 14:56Speaker 3: work at the movie theaters when I was younger. Yeah,
- 14:59Speaker 3: and but I didn't do a ticket thing though.
- 15:01Speaker 2: I don't think some seventeen year old cares about a
- 15:05Speaker 2: child ticket, right.
- 15:07Speaker 1: Y'all didn't see Anderson Pack and Mariah Carey. They were
- 15:09Speaker 1: over the weekend. They were at a date night, and
- 15:11Speaker 1: they actually stopped Anderson Pack and Mariah Carey to look
- 15:14Speaker 1: at and to rip their tickets. Because I feel like
- 15:20Speaker 1: you're doing too much. I wouldn't even let them go
- 15:22Speaker 1: get them child tickets when I saw someone on Xay.
