- 0:02Speaker 1: I'm a homegrow that knows a little bit about everything
- 0:04Speaker 1: and everybody.
- 0:06Speaker 2: You know, if you don't lie about that, right, la Hey, y'all,
- 0:10Speaker 2: what's up.
- 0:10Speaker 1: It's Laura Rosa and this is another episode of The
- 0:13Speaker 1: Latest with Laura Rosa. This is your daily take on
- 0:16Speaker 1: all things pop culture, entertainment, news, and all of the
- 0:20Speaker 1: conversations that shape the room.
- 0:22Speaker 2: Baby.
- 0:22Speaker 1: Now, y'all know, we kick off the episode every single
- 0:25Speaker 1: episode checking in behind the scenes of the Grind. So
- 0:29Speaker 1: let's get too it. Checking in behind the scenes of
- 0:35Speaker 1: the Grind today. Yeah, I think behind the scenes of
- 0:39Speaker 1: the Grind today, I am honestly, uh reevaluating a lot
- 0:44Speaker 1: of things in their.
- 0:44Speaker 2: Importance to me.
- 0:46Speaker 1: And I know that behind the scenes of the Grind
- 0:48Speaker 1: is literally you guys coming with me behind the scenes sometimes,
- 0:51Speaker 1: but a lot of times it's me telling y'all.
- 0:53Speaker 2: Like just where my mental is in real life.
- 0:57Speaker 1: Like I think, on the surface of everything, whether you
- 1:00Speaker 1: are tuning in here daily to the Latest with Laurna Rosa,
- 1:02Speaker 1: the podcast, or watching the Breakfast Club shoot. If we
- 1:06Speaker 1: even follow each other on social media, Lauren La Rosa,
- 1:08Speaker 1: everywhere you're seeing, but so much on the surface level.
- 1:13Speaker 1: So I like to use this time to give you, guys,
- 1:15Speaker 1: like sometimes just to look into like my mental and
- 1:18Speaker 1: how I'm feeling about things, because I think when people ask,
- 1:21Speaker 1: and that's the reason why I added this segment in
- 1:23Speaker 1: the beginning of the podcast, how are you really feeling?
- 1:26Speaker 3: Like?
- 1:26Speaker 1: I want to check in, which is what I ask
- 1:29Speaker 1: myself every single time before I crack this microphone for
- 1:31Speaker 1: the podcast. We're not always honest. I know for me,
- 1:35Speaker 1: I'm not always honest, and it's not because I don't
- 1:37Speaker 1: want to be. It's just because I'm like, yo, who
- 1:39Speaker 1: has time to hear that? And do I even have
- 1:41Speaker 1: time to face what I'm even discussing? And most of
- 1:44Speaker 1: the time it's like, no, I'm trying to get to
- 1:46Speaker 1: the next thing you got, you know, news.
- 1:48Speaker 2: Breaking things happening.
- 1:50Speaker 1: But here on the podcast, we take the time to ask,
- 1:52Speaker 1: how are you really feeling?
- 1:55Speaker 3: Now?
- 1:55Speaker 1: Think about it? Take a second with me, y'all. So
- 1:59Speaker 1: I told you the guys that I was reevaluating, you know,
- 2:01Speaker 1: just what things are most important to me or just
- 2:06Speaker 1: like prioritizing you know, things in their importance to myself.
- 2:10Speaker 1: And the reason why I'm doing that. I don't mean
- 2:12Speaker 1: people in my life. I literally mean things in my life,
- 2:14Speaker 1: and like moving variables is because I have literally gotten
- 2:19Speaker 1: to a point now where my time means so much
- 2:24Speaker 1: and you know, people will be like me and Beyonce
- 2:27Speaker 1: got the same twenty four hours in a day, and
- 2:28Speaker 1: it's like, realistically, you do, but what you do with
- 2:32Speaker 1: that time is very very important. For a while now,
- 2:36Speaker 1: probably for like the last year, I've been feeling really
- 2:39Speaker 1: I've talked about here on the podcast and other behind
- 2:41Speaker 1: the scenes of the Grind opening of the episodes, where
- 2:44Speaker 1: you know, I go through guilt about certain things, whether
- 2:47Speaker 1: it's not being able to spend time, whether it's no
- 2:50Speaker 1: longer want into a lot of time to certain things.
- 2:52Speaker 1: I think I finally gotten to the point where I
- 2:54Speaker 1: understand why I was going through that. And the reason
- 2:58Speaker 1: why I say that is I have an instants happened
- 3:01Speaker 1: today where I was reporting on something within the Breakfast Club,
- 3:05Speaker 1: and I don't ever like to talk about things that
- 3:08Speaker 1: I haven't watched or experience to myself. But I've had
- 3:11Speaker 1: to learn to kind of like delegate, allow some of
- 3:14Speaker 1: the producers that work with me to be able to
- 3:16Speaker 1: watch things and you know, talk me and produce me
- 3:19Speaker 1: through things, even if I haven't seen them myselfs I'm
- 3:21Speaker 1: really not fully comfortable with that yet. I'll be honest
- 3:23Speaker 1: with you guys, But for the sake of time, literally,
- 3:28Speaker 1: I've had to learn how to do that because there's
- 3:30Speaker 1: just not enough hours between when I leave the breakfast club,
- 3:33Speaker 1: when I record the Latest with on the Roads of
- 3:35Speaker 1: the podcast, when I try to eat, try to be
- 3:37Speaker 1: a daughter, try to be a grand daughter, try to
- 3:39Speaker 1: be a girlfriend, try to get some sleep, try to
- 3:41Speaker 1: just take a breather so that I don't burn myself
- 3:43Speaker 1: out to do everything. And I gotten to a point
- 3:46Speaker 1: where I was doing that again. I talked to you
- 3:47Speaker 1: guys through that burnout point here on the Latest with
- 3:50Speaker 1: Lorna Rosa as well in the behind the scenes of
- 3:52Speaker 1: the Grind check in, you know, some months ago. But
- 3:57Speaker 1: you know, when I think about now, when people or
- 4:00Speaker 1: like yo, my time is money, my time means everything,
- 4:03Speaker 1: I literally don't have the time to I think what
- 4:06Speaker 1: has changed the time for me is, you know, when
- 4:09Speaker 1: I'm here and I'm on the show and I'm thinking
- 4:11Speaker 1: about how valuable your word is and you know your
- 4:15Speaker 1: commentary is, I'm literally trying every moment that you hear
- 4:22Speaker 1: me on whatever microphone I am on to make impacts.
- 4:26Speaker 1: So in doing that, there's a lot of preparation. There's
- 4:29Speaker 1: a lot of and sometimes preparation isn't even research.
- 4:33Speaker 2: I'm be honest with y'all. You know that's the majority
- 4:35Speaker 2: of it.
- 4:35Speaker 1: But a lot of the preparation for myself, it's just
- 4:38Speaker 1: talking myself into like, yo, you got it, Like you're here,
- 4:44Speaker 1: you have arrived. And I don't battle that as much
- 4:48Speaker 1: unless I feel like I haven't applied myself time wise
- 4:52Speaker 1: to what my prep routine is in order to do
- 4:56Speaker 1: what I need to do and show up every single day.
- 4:58Speaker 1: And the reason why I'll tell you telling you guys
- 5:00Speaker 1: all of this is because there was going back to
- 5:02Speaker 1: what I was saying, there was a segment that I
- 5:03Speaker 1: did on The Breakfast Club. Within that segment, or not
- 5:07Speaker 1: even just within the segment, there was a show that
- 5:10Speaker 1: we produced and did with on The Breakfast Club where
- 5:13Speaker 1: I wasn't really too you know for sure about a
- 5:15Speaker 1: lot of the topics I was talking about, not because
- 5:17Speaker 1: I didn't know about them and that the producers we
- 5:21Speaker 1: didn't like do our normal call the night before and
- 5:23Speaker 1: we delegate and people watch this and watch that, but
- 5:27Speaker 1: because I just didn't think that they were very strong.
- 5:29Speaker 2: Knock it out the part topics.
- 5:31Speaker 1: I didn't have any exclusive stuff, so I was like, Yo,
- 5:33Speaker 1: this is not strong.
- 5:34Speaker 2: This is not what I'm used to doing.
- 5:36Speaker 1: But I literally took the time to like separate myself
- 5:43Speaker 1: from a lot of things the night before, you know,
- 5:47Speaker 1: And I felt horrible doing it, but I took the
- 5:51Speaker 1: time to separate myself from sitting on the phone for
- 5:54Speaker 1: no reason and just catching up, and I told myself, like, Yo,
- 5:57Speaker 1: this is something this week I want to practice not
- 5:59Speaker 1: doing a lot of And I was so happy I
- 6:01Speaker 1: did that because not only was I able to prep
- 6:04Speaker 1: the topics and get the information surrounding as much as
- 6:06Speaker 1: I could to know whether I was doing something right
- 6:09Speaker 1: or wrong when I came to report it, but I
- 6:12Speaker 1: also was able to I think I feel like it
- 6:14Speaker 1: was like I was able to more clearly lock in
- 6:17Speaker 1: to think about POV. And that's something that I've learned
- 6:19Speaker 1: a lot about and being in this personality space. And
- 6:22Speaker 1: I was thinking about that today, like, if your time
- 6:25Speaker 1: is money, right, and your time is so valuable and
- 6:28Speaker 1: you don't have time to waste on certain things, the
- 6:30Speaker 1: people watching you don't either, when they're coming to you,
- 6:33Speaker 1: they expect you to understand that they want things to
- 6:35Speaker 1: be concise, they want things to be clear. But a
- 6:37Speaker 1: lot of times it's not that you got to have
- 6:39Speaker 1: the exclusive Lauren. You don't got to tell people first
- 6:41Speaker 1: all the time. It's not that you have to have
- 6:44Speaker 1: the best interview, booking or SoundBite or whatever. A lot
- 6:48Speaker 1: of times it's just the way you're talking about it,
- 6:50Speaker 1: and that alone can be something that is exclusive to
- 6:54Speaker 1: the room you're in, the platform, you're on, whatever you're doing.
- 6:57Speaker 1: And when I was talking myself through that, I was like, girl,
- 7:00Speaker 1: oh you this is why you need to be okay
- 7:04Speaker 1: with telling yourself no, Like, no, I gotta take the time.
- 7:07Speaker 1: I ain't got the time because I just woke up
- 7:10Speaker 1: this morning feeling so much clarity and power in that thought,
- 7:19Speaker 1: the thought of y'all got to understand like for the
- 7:22Speaker 1: last like for the last literally like I would say,
- 7:28Speaker 1: eight to eight years of my life prior to prior
- 7:32Speaker 1: to twenty twenty three, being in a newsroom like TMZ
- 7:36Speaker 1: where you are literally like you whipped into shape. It
- 7:40Speaker 1: was one of the best things I've ever done. It.
- 7:42Speaker 1: I tell people all the time. It was a boot camp.
- 7:44Speaker 1: I wanted to go to school for my masters. That
- 7:45Speaker 1: was the best master's program I could have did in
- 7:47Speaker 1: the area of media production, conversation, reporting, news, all of
- 7:53Speaker 1: the things right, and people keep having these conversations about
- 7:56Speaker 1: journalism versus influencer or whatever. In that newsroom. It's not
- 8:00Speaker 1: about the title. It's really about the know how and
- 8:03Speaker 1: which you know how to do. You're literally only as
- 8:05Speaker 1: good as your last story, to be honest with you,
- 8:07Speaker 1: I have been whipped into shape in that way. So
- 8:10Speaker 1: a lot of times when I come in here, if
- 8:11Speaker 1: I don't feel like something is strong and I'm about
- 8:13Speaker 1: to get on this podcast, if I don't feel like
- 8:15Speaker 1: i'm you know, I go a week without an exclusive
- 8:19Speaker 1: and whatever, I don't feel like I'm I'm doing it
- 8:23Speaker 1: like it doesn't feel like I'm here all the time.
- 8:25Speaker 1: If I'm being honest with y'all, but realizing that it's
- 8:30Speaker 1: okay to say, yo, I don't got time to do
- 8:33Speaker 1: all of the surrounding things so that I can just
- 8:35Speaker 1: focus on just the feeling of girl, you are here,
- 8:39Speaker 1: you got this.
- 8:41Speaker 2: It took such weight off my shoulders. I don't know
- 8:44Speaker 2: why I.
- 8:44Speaker 1: Was feeling so guilty about making room in space for myself,
- 8:51Speaker 1: Like it be messing me up, y'all. Like I don't
- 8:53Speaker 1: know what is going on in this era of my life.
- 8:56Speaker 1: And as I'm turning thirty thirty four to thirty five,
- 8:59Speaker 1: as I'm turning thirty five five years old, but I've
- 9:02Speaker 1: literally begin like talking to myself in a way that
- 9:05Speaker 1: I never ever had to. Like I've always been a
- 9:07Speaker 1: very confident girl. Okay, I've always showed up. I've always
- 9:11Speaker 1: taken up space. But in this era of my life
- 9:13Speaker 1: where everything is I mean not everything, but there's a
- 9:15Speaker 1: lot of things that are public, there's a lot of
- 9:17Speaker 1: things that can be critiqued and commented on. You know,
- 9:20Speaker 1: I think for a bit, I kind of like ran
- 9:22Speaker 1: into the shell of like if I just play and safe,
- 9:24Speaker 1: I'm cool, And that's not how I want to live
- 9:28Speaker 1: my life. Like you can be great or you can
- 9:30Speaker 1: be living in fear, and I don't want to live
- 9:32Speaker 1: in fear. I want to be great. Okay, God does
- 9:34Speaker 1: not give me the spirit of fear. And literally me
- 9:38Speaker 1: realizing that in order to be great, I can't be
- 9:41Speaker 1: afraid to say I got to create this really protected
- 9:45Speaker 1: space for myself. I don't have the time to like
- 9:48Speaker 1: I can't answer every phone call, I can't get back
- 9:50Speaker 1: to every text, I can't show up to every birthday.
- 9:52Speaker 1: Then I can't make every birthday trip like I just can't.
- 9:55Speaker 1: In the season of my life that I'm in, it
- 9:57Speaker 1: is so sensitive and it is so important for me
- 9:59Speaker 1: to understand and that that is okay.
- 10:01Speaker 2: It's literally like a make or break for me.
- 10:05Speaker 1: And God, I don't know what it was that put
- 10:06Speaker 1: that on my spirit today of like, you just feel
- 10:10Speaker 1: so much better since you did that, because you were
- 10:12Speaker 1: able to take that. Even though I still feel like
- 10:13Speaker 1: I'll be running out of time every night preparing for
- 10:15Speaker 1: the next day, I woke up today feeling better, feeling
- 10:20Speaker 1: a lot more confident. And that has been happening over
- 10:22Speaker 1: these last couple of weeks as I've been making no changes.
- 10:24Speaker 1: So if anybody out there is listening to this and
- 10:26Speaker 1: you've been feeling a little bit like you know, off
- 10:29Speaker 1: a bit, you might got to look around and realize
- 10:31Speaker 1: you ain't got the time to be doing ABC D
- 10:34Speaker 1: and E like you gotta focus on A and it's
- 10:36Speaker 1: got to be okay, and people in your life who
- 10:38Speaker 1: don't understand that. I think there might be a season
- 10:41Speaker 1: of out growing and I'm okay with that too. Let's
- 10:44Speaker 1: get on it into the latest, y'all. Speaking of seasons
- 10:48Speaker 1: in life, Hayden pan Tier, actress, you know, from bringing
- 10:53Speaker 1: on Scream and so much more, she had been talking
- 10:57Speaker 1: a lot about just different seasons of her life that
- 10:59Speaker 1: she had been through. There is a Jay Shehatty interview
- 11:01Speaker 1: that she did when she released her book about her
- 11:04Speaker 1: life and some of her past struggles with addiction and
- 11:06Speaker 1: depression and you know, young child fame and domestic violence
- 11:10Speaker 1: and a relationship that she was in. But she recently
- 11:12Speaker 1: passed away at the age of thirty six. There was
- 11:15Speaker 1: a call that was made to an apartment that she
- 11:17Speaker 1: was at in South Carolina for a woman in cardiac arrest,
- 11:21Speaker 1: and then it was you know, reports were updated, you
- 11:23Speaker 1: know via TMZ that this call actually came in as
- 11:26Speaker 1: a woman cardiac arrest.
- 11:27Speaker 2: And then there was a mention of an overdose.
- 11:29Speaker 1: And now I mean everybody across the boarders reporting is
- 11:32Speaker 1: including a TMZ that there was narcan or narkhan found
- 11:38Speaker 1: at the scene of uh, you know, where she passed away,
- 11:41Speaker 1: because she did pass away on the scene. So again,
- 11:45Speaker 1: no toxicology report officially out I've seen reports that the
- 11:49Speaker 1: toxicology and stuff are done, but no official cause of
- 11:53Speaker 1: death yet, but you know, people are beginning to speculate
- 11:55Speaker 1: whether this was an overdose. Now we the new information
- 11:58Speaker 1: that we found out that was just some background is
- 12:01Speaker 1: that her on again, off again boyfriend was actually there
- 12:04Speaker 1: with her, him and another family member when she was
- 12:08Speaker 1: you know, and they made the phone call to get
- 12:10Speaker 1: responders there. She was unconscious and they were there. As
- 12:16Speaker 1: you know, paramedics tried to revive her back to life
- 12:19Speaker 1: and were unsuccessful. And we are told that her on again,
- 12:22Speaker 1: off again boyfriend, Brian Hankerson, actually is his name. We
- 12:27Speaker 1: are told that he got very emotional when they pronounced
- 12:31Speaker 1: her dead, which I mean, you can imagine they now,
- 12:35Speaker 1: you know, Henkerson and Hayden been dating for some time,
- 12:40Speaker 1: on again, off again, but you know, according to recent reports,
- 12:43Speaker 1: he sat down for interviews and talked a bit about
- 12:46Speaker 1: you know, you know, just the fact that they were
- 12:49Speaker 1: still in a relationship at the current time, and that
- 12:51Speaker 1: they kept it a secret because of her career, because
- 12:54Speaker 1: of how bad their relationship had gotten in the midst
- 12:57Speaker 1: of all of the other turmoil. So you know, fans
- 13:03Speaker 1: are trying to put things together. I saw people pointing
- 13:06Speaker 1: fingers toward him. I know that police have said that
- 13:08Speaker 1: there was no you know, imminent or immediate signs of
- 13:11Speaker 1: foul play whatsoever. We don't know what happened, but I
- 13:17Speaker 1: have seen people pouring out love for her. More recently,
- 13:22Speaker 1: Solange did now her and Solange did bring It on
- 13:26Speaker 1: Again together, and you know, like they were young, there
- 13:30Speaker 1: were teenagers. But this is a movie that, like a
- 13:32Speaker 1: lot of us remember, a lot of us point to
- 13:34Speaker 1: when it comes to Hayden's career. Solange says, rest in peace, Hayden,
- 13:38Speaker 1: because you are so deserving of it. We had so
- 13:41Speaker 1: many parallels in our lives, and the world watched you
- 13:44Speaker 1: so courageously live in your radical truth, telling your story.
- 13:48Speaker 1: We watched your endless quest for vulnerability and healing. I
- 13:51Speaker 1: salute your journey, and I honor the work we created
- 13:54Speaker 1: together that became something that really means something to people,
- 13:58Speaker 1: reaching people we couldn't have it. Imagine at the time
- 14:01Speaker 1: as two young girls trying to keep looking to the
- 14:04Speaker 1: light the lights around you. Now, Rest easy, Hayden. I
- 14:08Speaker 1: also saw miss Viola Davis poor out love for her
- 14:12Speaker 1: as well too. Emma Roberts, Jeremy Renner. So many people
- 14:17Speaker 1: are poor and got love. As the updates you know continue,
- 14:20Speaker 1: you know, and they will. I think people want to
- 14:23Speaker 1: know what happened. I know that, you know. Like I mentioned,
- 14:26Speaker 1: she had talked about her struggles with addictions. There was
- 14:30Speaker 1: also reports via a police report that her boyfriend, Hankerson,
- 14:35Speaker 1: who we talked about a bit, when police arrived, he
- 14:39Speaker 1: gave police a bag of medicine that she had been taking.
- 14:43Speaker 1: Across various reports, I saw, you know, several outlets reporting
- 14:46Speaker 1: that she had been complaining of back pain for the
- 14:49Speaker 1: last year. So not for sure if she was taking
- 14:51Speaker 1: medicine for that. And you know, there will be some
- 14:54Speaker 1: updates here, but those are the most recent updates. Wanted
- 14:58Speaker 1: to bring you guys that and we'll watch this closely.
- 15:01Speaker 1: The story is developing.
- 15:04Speaker 3: Now.
- 15:04Speaker 1: Before we get on out of here, I do want
- 15:05Speaker 1: to grab a bit of an interview that she did.
- 15:08Speaker 1: I mentioned Jay Shetty in an interview that she did,
- 15:10Speaker 1: and I saw him Jay Shetty, speak out about you know,
- 15:13Speaker 1: hating in her light as well too, and just her
- 15:15Speaker 1: courageous spirit for telling her story. She was very honest
- 15:19Speaker 1: about a lot of the things she went through. She
- 15:21Speaker 1: talked about addiction. Let's take a listen.
- 15:24Speaker 3: I've been struggling for a long time and I just
- 15:29Speaker 3: needed a break. Four years ended up being the amount
- 15:33Speaker 3: of time, and I definitely absolutely did not expect it
- 15:36Speaker 3: would that long. I felt like I was walking blind
- 15:39Speaker 3: and there was nobody there that was really able to
- 15:43Speaker 3: support me in the way that I needed to be supported.
- 15:46Speaker 3: And I don't like to ask for help either, you know,
- 15:49Speaker 3: I want to be that strong, stoke woman. But I mean,
- 15:51Speaker 3: when you see a happy go Luki girl for years
- 15:56Speaker 3: suddenly on the floor in a puddle of mess and alcohol,
- 16:03Speaker 3: you got to know something's wrong. Panetier revealing that she
- 16:06Speaker 3: was first introduced to the substances that would lead her
- 16:09Speaker 3: down a dark path in her teen years. When I
- 16:12Speaker 3: was about sixteen, one of the people that I was
- 16:16Speaker 3: working with in my inner circle introduced me for the
- 16:19Speaker 3: first time to what she called happy pills. And I
- 16:22Speaker 3: had no idea what they were, but I know that
- 16:25Speaker 3: when I was given one and I was sent down
- 16:27Speaker 3: a red carpet, I was like lively and like totally
- 16:31Speaker 3: down to answer the questions in a chatterbox, what did.
- 16:34Speaker 2: You come to learn? Those happy pills were.
- 16:37Speaker 3: I think they were a form of adderall. I was
- 16:39Speaker 3: completely annowledgeable about drugs and that kind of thing. I
- 16:46Speaker 3: did grow up around people that I felt like I
- 16:51Speaker 3: didn't realize till later, but I felt like used alcohol

- 17:14Speaker 3: it's not something we want. It's not you know that
- 17:20Speaker 3: we've we've we've lost our our marbles and and it's
- 17:27Speaker 3: not something that we want to go through. And and
- 17:32Speaker 3: we're not lying when we tell you something strong, and
- 17:36Speaker 3: and we're we're in tears for absolutely no reason, Like
- 17:41Speaker 3: we don't have control over this, and this would be
- 17:44Speaker 3: the last thing that we would ever want to experience
- 17:49Speaker 3: or go through it. We want to be with our children,
- 17:52Speaker 3: our child, our brand new child, and have be filled
- 17:56Speaker 3: with joy and feel like the luckiest person in the world,
- 18:01Speaker 3: and and you know, capture every every moment, and for
- 18:08Speaker 3: anyone to think otherwise is just misinformed and Uh yeah,
- 18:16Speaker 3: I just I think people need to know a lot
- 18:20Speaker 3: more about it, need to understand.
- 18:22Speaker 1: And she also talked about the loss of her brother
- 18:24Speaker 1: and how that impacted her currently while she was living.
- 18:27Speaker 3: Oh yeah, there's a there was nothing in my life
- 18:31Speaker 3: that feels like losing my other half, like the other
- 18:36Speaker 3: half that I was, that was born to be my
- 18:39Speaker 3: my the yang to my yang, and we were so close,
- 18:45Speaker 3: and especially being the older sibling who that's your job
- 18:51Speaker 3: to protect them and keep them safe and not being
- 18:56Speaker 3: able to is I mean, your heartbreaking doesn't doesn't even
- 19:02Speaker 3: begin to cover it. I would need to a dictionary
- 19:06Speaker 3: to go through all the words for all the feelings
- 19:08Speaker 3: that you know, I go through your mind. But I've
- 19:14Speaker 3: got I mean, I collapsed and it's stayed with me.
- 19:17Speaker 3: I know time is like the best is the best
- 19:19Speaker 3: tailor generally, but it's been three years and every year
- 19:25Speaker 3: it's gotten, it's changed. The heartbreak has changed. But losing
- 19:33Speaker 3: him and realizing how much of life I was going
- 19:37Speaker 3: to have to go through alone and without him where
- 19:41Speaker 3: I when I always saw him as being there. You know,
- 19:46Speaker 3: the day that my parents are not here anymore, I'm
- 19:49Speaker 3: going to have to do alone and the fact that
- 19:53Speaker 3: he's not here to be a part of my daughter's life,
- 19:58Speaker 3: and the fact that he's I mean, there's so many
- 20:03Speaker 3: times I want to call him all the time, and
- 20:07Speaker 3: he was my best, best friend, and and like when
- 20:13Speaker 3: he first died, I just remember screaming, I don't want
- 20:18Speaker 3: to live in a world where he doesn't exist, so
- 20:24Speaker 3: I unfortunately had to. But he seems so alive in
- 20:31Speaker 3: my head still. He was such a big, big personality,
- 20:40Speaker 3: and he just like I ain no matter how, no
- 20:44Speaker 3: matter what, Like I was just one of those people.
- 20:47Speaker 3: I never thought anything could take him down or take
- 20:52Speaker 3: him away. He was so good too, And it makes
- 20:56Speaker 3: you so angry to see so that they're bad people
- 21:03Speaker 3: thriving in this world, and then one so good that's
- 21:08Speaker 3: just taken from you. Why it's not fair, It doesn't
- 21:16Speaker 3: make sense. So that's something I just I don't think
- 21:22Speaker 3: i'll ever I'll never get over, It'll just evolve. Luckily,
- 21:28Speaker 3: he was an amazing artist, and I have his his
- 21:32Speaker 3: paint some of his paintings, and that keeps part of
- 21:35Speaker 3: him alive for me. He left that behind, beautiful things behind,
- 21:43Speaker 3: but and I feel him with me. I know that's
- 21:49Speaker 3: he's protecting me from where he is and was needed elsewhere.
- 21:54Speaker 3: But I wish they would send him back to me.
- 21:56Speaker 1: Praying for her soul, praying for her family. I mean,
- 22:00Speaker 1: she started acting at eleven months old in commercials and
- 22:03Speaker 1: then grew up in the spotlight. There's always so much
- 22:07Speaker 1: that people are dealing with. Man, when I tell you, guys,
- 22:10Speaker 1: like I started this episode talking about like saying literally
- 22:13Speaker 1: setting boundaries for your life and being like, I don't
- 22:15Speaker 1: have the time. Not only should we do that, because
- 22:18Speaker 1: like you need to provide space for your mental to
- 22:20Speaker 1: be clear, but literally, y'all, she was thirty six years old.
- 22:24Speaker 1: Nobody knows what their timeline on this earth is going
- 22:27Speaker 1: to look like it is, and like it is so
- 22:30Speaker 1: beyond us to think that we have all the time
- 22:33Speaker 1: in the world, because we do not. You gotta do
- 22:36Speaker 1: the best you can with what you got in my
- 22:39Speaker 1: Mariah Carey voice, but like, seriously, you have to take
- 22:44Speaker 1: the time to really it's not even about like accomplishing things.
- 22:47Speaker 1: And I used to think, oh my god, I used
- 22:49Speaker 1: to think everything was about accomplishing things. And I used
- 22:52Speaker 1: to think everything was about achieving this level of success
- 22:54Speaker 1: and platform and influence because my whole goal was just
- 22:58Speaker 1: like I always wanted to be able to accumulate audience
- 23:01Speaker 1: because I'm like, I'll always be able to make money
- 23:03Speaker 1: and take care of people I love, and I also
- 23:05Speaker 1: be able to help people.
- 23:06Speaker 2: But it's not even really all about that.
- 23:10Speaker 1: I saw young thug he spoke to kids in Atlanta,
- 23:14Speaker 1: and people were, you know, dragging him about what he
- 23:17Speaker 1: was saying to the young kids. I take a listen
- 23:19Speaker 1: to that really quickly.
- 23:19Speaker 4: So is really the most important.
- 23:21Speaker 2: If you be fas, you're.
- 23:23Speaker 4: Almost as important as the richest person in the world.
- 23:27Speaker 4: So Fain is like more so like the money for us.
- 23:31Speaker 4: So fan is really the most important. It's very important.
- 23:34Speaker 4: You got to you gotta keep up with it. You
- 23:36Speaker 4: got to always make sure it leads, it leads to
- 23:38Speaker 4: the right leads you.
- 23:39Speaker 3: To the right room.
- 23:40Speaker 4: You not know how to move, got to move totally different,
- 23:42Speaker 4: gott to move, militaries, so many, so many things people don't.
- 23:47Speaker 2: Know about, Bain.
- 23:47Speaker 3: That's like very important.
- 23:49Speaker 4: Defin move you dot know how to be because you
- 23:51Speaker 4: end up in like situations. You know I've ended up now.
- 23:53Speaker 1: This was at a charter school in Georgia, ages K
- 23:56Speaker 1: through four. According to what I saw online, but people
- 23:58Speaker 1: were upset at the message. You know, talk about like fame,
- 24:00Speaker 1: and you know, people are interpreting this as him encouraging
- 24:04Speaker 1: the kids to want to be famous. But I think
- 24:06Speaker 1: it's more so from what I heard from it and
- 24:08Speaker 1: knowing how kids are about celebrities, you know, they don't
- 24:11Speaker 1: understand their k through fourth grade, right. I think what
- 24:15Speaker 1: it is that I interpreted from it anyway was literally
- 24:19Speaker 1: what we're saying right now. It's like, figure out what
- 24:21Speaker 1: you got the time for, set out to do that,
- 24:23Speaker 1: do that very well, build, build, build, and then protect it.
- 24:29Speaker 1: But also in protecting it, what can you do for
- 24:31Speaker 1: other people? People are literally pouring out love for hand
- 24:35Speaker 1: and Panitea right now because of her honesty, not because
- 24:38Speaker 1: she was perfect, you know, nobody's perfect. Not because she was,
- 24:42Speaker 1: you know, without life experience, but she used her life
- 24:45Speaker 1: experience come to be her testimony.
- 24:48Speaker 2: And I'm sure that it's helped somebody.
- 24:49Speaker 1: That interview circulated so much even before her passing and
- 24:53Speaker 1: now is recirculating again.
- 24:55Speaker 2: God rest her soul.
