  Speaker 1: Let's get, let's get, let's get to it, time to
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: do it.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: and everybody.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: You hear that exclusive? I don't feel alive about that, right?
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Lauren came in hot. Hey, y'all, what's up?

• 0:16
  Speaker 2: all things pop culture, entertainment news, and all of the
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: conversations that shake the room, baby. Now, yesterday, we did not,
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: or the episode prior to this one, depending on when
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: you're tuning in, We didn't get a chance to check
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: in behind the scenes of The Grind because we got
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: right into a conversation that shook the room exclusively with
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: the mother of three-year-old Nevada, who is the soccer player.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Amazing three-year-old soccer player. Recently went viral because police were
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: called to his soccer game because he's really, really good
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: at what he does. And they alleged that his mom
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: was a disturbance. So there have been some fallout behind that.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: And we talked exclusively before anyone got a chance to.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: But today... I do have some updates there. I want
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: to check in behind the scenes of The Grind, though.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: It's been a minute. Let's do it. Checking in behind
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the scenes of The Grind today. Lord, I am excited.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: I feel like we about to do like Homecoming 2.0,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: even though it's not really Homecoming.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: It's very much so different.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: But we are days away from The Breakfast Club broadcasting
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: live in Philadelphia for their one Philly HBCU week event,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: which is a various events throughout the week that will
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: take place in Philly.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: They have, um, battle of the bands.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: There are, uh, college and career fairs, the breakfast club
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: recording our show live in Philly from the link. But also,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: you have football games. Now, on Friday, you have Lincoln
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: and Virginia Union. They'll be facing off against each other.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: But I'm there. I'm here for Saturday. I'm there for Saturday.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Saturday, Delaware State University is facing off against Norfolk State.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: This is the second showdown. And this game is actually
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: the reason why we have... the I was gonna say
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: inaugural HBCU like Philly week or one HBCU week I
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: keep confusing it with HBCU week.org which is a Delaware
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: organization has been you know HBCU week for some years
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: but the reason why they decided to build out all
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: of this program is because last year Delaware State University
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: versus Norfolk State University brought in so much people money
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: and tourism, so many things, all in the name of
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: HBCUs and all the money that was made, whether it
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: was ticket sales and, you know, different things, the different
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: ways that things came in, went back to supporting HBCUs,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: specifically Norfolk State and Delaware State University and But this year,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: they're building it out. They want to do more. So
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: the Breakfast Club will be a part of that. It's
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: the first year of the big, you know, all the events.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: But it's the second year that Delaware State University is
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: going to play in Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, which
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: is huge, you know, literally and figuratively.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: It's huge because... that's where the Eagles play.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: That's the NFL Mecca in Philadelphia, but also it's, it's
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: huge just because Delaware state university, you know, the, the
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: small and humble beginnings that we come from, um, getting
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: to Sean Jackson as our head coach has definitely opened
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: up such a broader conversation about the school.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: And it led us to the link.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: So looking forward to that and all the excitement that'll
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: be surrounding my weekend coming up. I'm just trying to
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: figure out what I'm going to wear because that's the thing.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: And I got to be in a Dell state gear. Um,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Got to figure that out. So I'll be, you know,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: talking to you guys a bit about that as we
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: wrap up the weekend. I'll be back in some episodes
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: following this where I'll try and take you guys into
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: the game as much as I can from an audio
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: side of things. But if not, make sure you follow
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: me on social. I'm Lauren LaRosa everywhere. L-O-R-E-N-L-O-R-O-S-A. Because you'll
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: see all the recaps, the outfit photos, all the things.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: We do all the things here. Now let's get into
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: the latest episode. Speaking of football, it has happened. This
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: is the worst kept secret ever. Jay-Z is performing at
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. And I'm not one of those people
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: that is upset that Jay-Z is performing at the Super Bowl.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Y'all know I love Jay-Z, love Beyonce, love them as
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: business people, love them as moguls, inspired, motivated, all the things.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: But I say it's the worst kept secret ever because
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: we knew so many times this year that this was
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: going to happen. jay-z did a tribute not a tribute
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: he celebrated the anniversary of uh reasonable doubt 30 years
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: he celebrated 20 25 years of 25 years of the
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: blueprint huge shows in new york right that that kicked
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: it off the energy at those shows the fact that
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: he no first of all wait let me hold on
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: hold on wait wait i gotta back it up My lowriders,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: y'all have been, we've been on this journey with Jay-Z.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: We always should have been knew this.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: We did.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know why I was listening to people that were,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Charlamagne and the people that were saying.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: It, it wasn't going to happen. Why would he do
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl?
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Y'all remember, and if you don't, go back and listen
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: to all of my episodes where I talked about the
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Roots Picnic, specifically the Jay-Z freestyle.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: We broke the internet with the Jay-Z freestyle, literally.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: I was one of the first people that previewed that
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: freestyle to the world from social. And that's why it
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: went so crazy on social. We brought it back here
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: to the latest with Lauren LaRose of the podcast. Now,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: in that freestyle, he addressed a bunch of different things.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Patty's turning 100.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: And she would have transitioned if I had played my name.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: I would have hunted them.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Every one of them.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Playing these silly games. That 1-800.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Ambulance chaser would have wished one came.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: But 9-1-1 is a joke. Public enemy number one.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: I've been ranked. The rock's not crumbling. The leprechauns have
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: magically run out of pranks. Your son on a federal
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: jail line mumbling something about having too much in his drink.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: You know how dumb that is? Another one fumbled his
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: wonder how I get to blame. Niggas teeth is tumbling
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: out they mouth and somehow I'm the one who done it.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: It's a murder mystery gang.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: But also he walked out, hair was cut. Conversation shifted
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: immediately at the Roots picnic. OJZ got new music coming.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Right then and there, we should have known. Roots Picnic
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: as like just a run through. That was like his
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: practice stage. New music coming potentially because the hair is cut.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: And then we knew that there was like, you know,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: these shows coming up that he was going to do.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: New York happens. Boom. New York is insane.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, sold out nights. So many celebrities. Jay-Z's in
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: his groove in his pocket on stage. We all knew
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: like there's something that he, they don't just come outside
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: for no reason. You don't just see Jay-Z and Beyonce
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: do all these pop-up shows and you know, some of
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: them on their anniversary and Beyonce is coming out on stage.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: This is not a drill y'all. They don't come outside
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: for no reason. Everything they do is intentional. So from
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: those two moments on, we should have knew what was up.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Now there has been conversation around whether Jay-Z is going
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: to be releasing new music and or not. There was
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Ray Daniels, who's a podcaster, also works in music or
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: worked in music. He came out on a show that
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: he has and said Jay-Z was working on new music.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: There were songs.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: There was supposed to be this album that was happening.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: But Jay-Z was waiting on.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: What was it that he said? Did he say he
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: was waiting on advertisers? Hold on. Let me get the...
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Matter of fact, we'll just play it. I don't even
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: want to misquote.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: They said.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: The first article I saw was Jay-Z is going to
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: probably have to perform at the Super Bowl... as a
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: Jay-Z and Friends Super Bowl. Mm-hmm.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: But with Friends, it's almost a soft landing.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: It's like a soft landing.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: It's like, well, it's Jay down there, but Alicia Keys
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: is down there. Snoop is down there. So they leaked
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: that he's going to perform. He's performing at the Super Bowl.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: And the album is coming.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Right with that.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: He bring it to me.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: He bring it everybody.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: I was thinking, I thought the same thing.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: You don't want to perform at the Super Bowl.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: When I saw that, I got mad. When I saw that,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: when I saw, I'm like, they're playing in our face.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Anybody going to call it out?
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: So Mark Nation comes out and they debunk this on
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: their Insta story. They call it fake news, right? That
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: shuts that down. Now, granted, I knew that there was
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: something that Jay-Z was working on when it came to
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: music as far as an album. Whether or not I
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: thought it was going to be something we would see
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: in the immediate future, I don't know if I believed.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: And when I say immediate future, like I didn't think
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: that we was going to close out the summer with
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: a new.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Jay-Z album at all.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: I just knew and figured that, I mean, it's Jay-Z.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: He's back on stage. He seems like he's back in
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: this creative, you know, very expressive. He's freestyling and addressing
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: current topics from the stage as a freestyle. So he's
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: back in a bag of some sort. So I'm like,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: the creative juices are flowing or something there. But I
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: didn't think we would get a new album by the
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: end of the summer. However, like I said, once... You
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: saw the haircut. And we know that there's always a
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: hair transition. When they say this about girls, when we
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: cut our hair, we are ready to change our lives.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: OK, we got a message to put out. Period. Exactly.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: So we knew something was coming. So I knew it
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: was happening, but I just didn't know when. So New
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: York happens after New York happens before it's even over.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: We get announcements of. London shows we get announcements of
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: LA shows again this is not a drill they don't
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: just come outside they the nose carters they don't just
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: come outside for no reason To me, it would only
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: make sense that Jay-Z would have done a Super Bowl
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: this year because of all of the big anniversary celebrations.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, his legacy is already solidified, but I feel
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: like if you want to close a chapter on such
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: monumentous years and anniversaries, the biggest stage to do it
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: on is the Super Bowl. But I thought, in my thinking,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, in 2024, Roger Goodell in the NFL
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: said they had recently re-signed another partnership with Jay-Z. We
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: knew that the partnership was given about five years. I
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: always envisioned Jay-Z performing at the Super Bowl the last
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: and final year that he'd be working with the NFL.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: as like his grand opening grand closing type of thing
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: that's always just how I envisioned it especially because Jay-Z
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: seems like such a person that puts the artist first
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: and the business first and not himself even though he
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: is an artist now there are statements that were released
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: when Jay-Z um in the NFL announced his Super Bowl
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: that said that Roger Goodell told Jay-Z when he first
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: signed on to the partnership in the very beginning that
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: the only one request is that whenever Jay-Z felt the
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: moment was right, that he would do the Super Bowl.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Jay-Z feels like.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: The moment is right because we are getting that Super
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Bowl February 14th, 2027 in LA. Now, I do believe
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: now that we are going to get an album. Top
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: of 2027. I believe it wholeheartedly. There's no one that
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: can talk me down off of this hill. And here's why.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: I think all of the music, like we've heard Memphis
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Bleak say Jay-Z is working on the music. We've heard
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: people around him say that he's working on music. I
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: think that, you know, all of the current conversations he's
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: been having, you know, putting together the Jay and 8 documentary,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: celebrating the 30 years of Reasonable Doubt, the 25 years,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: all these things that he's been doing, If I'm him,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: I'm only motivated to really, really, really not even make
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: y'all understand because it's already up. It's up and it's
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: stuck already about Jay-Z and his legacy and what he
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: has done. But it's like, you know that line that
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: it'd be like, you know, they say that they made hope.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: So I said, make another hope.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: I think right now the pocket that he's in is
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: very much like, I want y'all to stop playing with me.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: I can come.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Come out at any time I want, bring out however
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: many people I want, drop new music, drop new projects.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Like, I dominate. I do this for real. And I
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: think he does it in the most humblest way.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: But I also knew the minute that they did not
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: debunk the Super Bowl reporting, and I say the worst-kept secret, Puck,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: which is an online outlet, reported that Jay-Z was going
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: to be doing the Super Bowl almost a week or
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: so ago now.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: When I reached out to sources....
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: I couldn't get any direction either way. My whole thing was,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: if you guys will come online and debunk a music executive,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: former music executive, I don't know how Ray Daniels labels
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: himself now. If you guys will come out and debunk
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: a podcast episode about new music, but say zip zero
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: about the Super Bowl, it was a national story. When
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: I say global, not even national, global story. You had
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Fallon on his show. his late night show doing monologues
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: about Jay-Z in the Super Bowl. Every news outlet, I mean,
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: from political to culture, black, white, yellow, green was talking
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: about this and nobody said anything.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: I'm like, there has to be something here.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: The power of Jay-Z, this is maneuvering and moving around
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: way too fast. And that's why I'm like, it's the
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: worst kept secret, which also is very telling to me too.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Roger Goodell had a fall conference or a fall press
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: conference that he did, not conference like parent-teacher conference, but
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: press conference that he did, right? And during that conference,
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: people were asking him about Jalen Hurts and all of
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: the injuries and the medical conversation that have been happening
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: with the Eagles and, you know, lack thereof and their
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: protection of Jalen Hurts. There was one reporter that real
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: easily slipped in a question about Jay-Z and the Super
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Bowl rollout. And here's what Roger Goodell.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Had to say. The halftime show seemingly was leaked a
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: couple days ago.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: It's been reported by Puck News and Deadline that Jay
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: is going to perform.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Have you thought about the process of how this is
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: announced at all?
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: I'm not aware of a leak. So I've been in
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: the committee meeting. So I'm not sure it's a leak.
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: We haven't announced anything until we do. We won't really
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: make any comment on that.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: One of the things I pointed out in my preparation
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: when I covered this original audio from that press conference
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: was I said to Envy, I said, do you know
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: there's one thing he didn't do?
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: He never said no. Jay-Z is not doing the Super Bowl.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: So it's the Super Bowl.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: So to me, it's like it's in talks, it's in conversations,
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: or it's happening. And then boom, we get an announcement.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: that Jay-Z is doing the Super Bowl. Now, what I
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: do believe is, because typically you see Beyonce and Jay-Z
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: be a lot more in control of big moments like this.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: That was very peculiar to me. Like, how is it
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: that we had so many confirmed conversations about Jay-Z that
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: he was not in control of? That is so different
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: for Jay-Z, for Roc Nation, for that whole camp, Beyonce, everybody. Like,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: one thing they have been able to do very, very
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: well is protect them I mean, you know, the BS comes,
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: but y'all know what I'm saying. Like, these are some
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: of the biggest celebrities in the world and we're not
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: in there day to day. What we know and what
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: we learn is very controlled about how it gets to
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: the masses. That didn't happen this time. Fox News did
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: a report and there were a few other political outlets
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: that did reports when this, you know, whole story broke
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: by Puck News. And the report that they did was
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: about how, you know, Jay-Z's distances that he would take
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: on the super bowl stage the politics and the things
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: that he supported how it'd be very reminiscent of like
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: a kendrick lamar and basically how nobody wanted to see
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: that and in the bad position that puts him in
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: because of the backlash that it will receive so i'm
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: like okay what is happening like are we seeing because
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: jay-z's been outside addressing a lot of the war of
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: the worlds right like people coming for him the ai
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: the botting the conversations that are happening around him And
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: I'm assuming on a surface level, he's just addressing the
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: everyday reactionary podcasters, bloggers, music commentators and speaking heads. But
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at this from a bigger picture now and
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: I'm like, is there a real war behind the scenes
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: going on?
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Like, is somebody trying to like.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Get to really make it to a point where like
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Jay-Z isn't in control of himself and of his business
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: in a way that we've known him to be. Because
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: if that's the case, you can damage a lot if
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: you can change the narrative and really convince people to
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: believe that. I'm trying to figure out what's going on
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: here because for a second, for a second, I thought
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: there's no way Jay-Z is in the Super Bowl because
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: why would something like that slip?
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: It's Jay-Z.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: He's literally working with the NFL in partnership with the NFL.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: How could that slip? Unless he wanted us to know.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: But I just don't see his form or fashion of
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: alerting the masses about something as big as the Super
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Bowl during the 30th year anniversary. This has been such
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: a big year for him. I don't see him alerting
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: the masses about something like the Super Bowl the way
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: that it was leaked. And even like, you know, I
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: saw some people like, you know, talking about, well, you know,
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: they dropped off all the eggs for us with all
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: these little mishaps that I'm mentioning to you guys.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: They gave it all to us.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: I don't think that he's that like, thirsty for the
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: pr rollout either like artists that do little things like
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: that you need people to talk about you he don't
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: need it it happens naturally a taylor swift for instance
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: she gives us easter eggs whenever she's dropping music or
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: doing something but you really got to go find them
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: you got to be an embedded swifty it is way
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: above my head that is not my job description or
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: category but i know about it because it is a
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: famous thing that she does she puts it in the
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: music uh she puts it she does mention certain things
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: on stages she does little things Very strategic, but it's
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: very effortless as well.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: That's how a Jay-Z and a Beyonce move.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: So this whole thing, this whole announcement, my instinct is
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: telling me there is more there to why this was
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: one of the worst kept secrets. I don't think it's
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Jay-Z's fault at all. Nonetheless, excited to see him at
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: the Superbowl. I don't think I want to go in person, though.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: I think I want to enjoy it from television. I
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: don't want to see, like, the production of the Super Bowl.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: I want to see the Super Bowl show, and I
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: think it's just different when you're there in person. But
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: y'all know me. If I get a call, I'm on
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: a flight, and we'll be right there on the scene, okay,
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: letting you guys know everything that is going down from L.A.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens there. I'll keep you guys
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: updated as well. This has been another episode of The
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Now, maybe I'm a conspiracy theorist
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: this episode. Maybe I'm onto something here. You know what
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: I won't be able to do? Probably give you guys
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: an update. Because one thing they won't do is comment
• 18:12
