What would you do if one bad decision forced you to choose between a maximum security prison or the most brutal boot camp designed to be hell on earth? Unfortunately for Mark Lombardo, this was the choice he faced.
Starting point is 00:01:53 He said, you are a number, a New York State number, and we own you. Listen to Shock Incarceration on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm a homeguard that knows a little bit about everything and everybody. You know if you don't lie about that, right? Lauren came in hot. Hey, y'all, what's up? It's Lauren LaRosa, and this is the latest with Lauren LaRosa. This is your daily dig on all things, pop culture, entertainment news, and all of the
Starting point is 00:02:28 the conversations that shake the room, baby. Now, yesterday's episode, we checked in behind the scenes of the grind, which I haven't done in a while. And we talked a bit about, you know, just being led to do things and all of the things. And today, if we're checking in behind the scenes of the grind, man, let me tell you all something. I am feeling so inspired. I was just telling the team here, I was watching Kaysanets, Mafia Don 3. For those of you guys who don't know, I mean, you should know who he is. But if you don't, he's a streamer and a big cute streamer. He's like streamers of the streamers at this point. And Mafiathon, you know, the streamers do this thing where they streamed 24-7. So his is called Mafiathon. This is
Starting point is 00:03:08 his third time doing it. They stream 24-7. They have, you know, a bunch of different like things going on guests pop up. They do all the little antics that they always do. Just a ton of stuff. They provide you content 24-7. I went on there this morning at around like 6, 7 a.m. on my way into work there was 96,000 people watching. I fell asleep watching it because I'm like, yo, these kids just keep going. They fall asleep on the stream, right? Fire. Love it.
Starting point is 00:03:34 But one of the things that I love the most was Gabe, shout out to Gabe of On the Radar. On the Radar has become the premier platform and vehicle out of New York City, but honestly, artists worldwide. If you're trying to break a song, a record, an artist, an act, you hit on the radar. That is the thing to do. and there has now, you know, all of these different other freestyle platforms have been created and have popped up and have followed the on the radar, like layout of things because what he's doing, what Gabe is doing is so impactful. And I was watching Kajana's stream yesterday. And I saw Gabe pop up in the video because he is going to have a room inside of the house
Starting point is 00:04:13 for Mafia Thon 3. And on the radar is something that he created just out of a passion for loving artists and music on his own. And I'm like, yo, that is. so fire like as a creative to see what you're doing build and grow and like you know it become the pinnacle like the go-to and gave just goes about it so effortlessly just hey god we're here we at mafia thine three like it's just so fire i was so inspired by that and i've been thinking and talking about that all night came in today talking to the team about it as well too so that's how i'm feeling behind the scenes of the grind i am feeling inspired rejuvenated to make everything i do the biggest thing I've ever done. One step at a time, but I want to leave impact. So that's where I've been
Starting point is 00:04:57 at. We're still on this fast as well. So, you know, I've just been having the time to reflect. But speaking of motivation, Kim Kardashian. And speaking of Kaisanaht's stream, Kim Kardashian appeared on the stream. If y'all hear me jingling, baby, go ahead, baby. It's because I have on this necklace. It's a chain necklace, kind of similar to like dog chain or dog tags. by a designer called Kelsey Ashley and it's loud. So apologies for that. But Kim Kardashian was on Kassanat's stream
Starting point is 00:05:25 and they had this thing that they do anytime a guest comes on where they have the guests give a speech, a motivational speech. Now I want y'all, before I say anything about it, to take a listen to the speech, then we're going to come back
Starting point is 00:05:38 and judge the speech, zero to five, zero to ten. That's a sin. I think it's totally okay in life if you don't know exactly what you want to do but I think the first part of figuring out what you want to do in life is just stepping out there being disciplined being patient and no matter how many setbacks there are
Starting point is 00:06:00 just even if it's hard still doing it still making the moves no matter what just get out there and do what you want to do you can always start something new in life no matter what it is when it is just go for it. That's my advice. All right. Zero to ten, what y'all give it? Five. I see a five.
Starting point is 00:06:23 Okay, made it to the halfway mark. As far as substance, y'all, zero to ten. Did you feel like it has substance? I'm seeing zeros in the room here, guys, in the podcast studio. Now, here's the thing. When I first listened to the motivational speech, I say, okay, this is like, when people, you ever met people and they're like, I got advice from somebody and all they told me was, yo, stick it out, keep going.
Starting point is 00:06:49 You got this. And it's like, what type of advice is that? At first I felt like that about Kim Kardashian's motivational speech. And then I was thinking about, I mean, it's Kim Kardashian. She's talking about not knowing what to do, not knowing if it's even going to work, not even knowing what something is, but doing it and becoming good at it, basically to the point where people can't deny you, right? That has been her career.
Starting point is 00:07:10 Like, a lot of people don't remember. And maybe everybody always jokes with me, like, girl, you'll be something. surprised how much stuff people don't know. You know this stuff because, like, you love this stuff. You live and breathe it. But Kim Kardashian was figuring it out for a very long time. She was a stylist, like closet assistant or something like that to Brandy. She was Paris Hilton's just like besty wingman, it girl, partner in crime. She did a few things. I mean, we also know, you know, she appeared in a few videos as well too. She did some things before she figured it out, right? But what I always say about the Kardashians, because I saw a lot of people saying
Starting point is 00:07:48 like, okay, we waited for Kim Kardashian to come on this stream to basically tell us, if the sky is blue, you can do it too. That's what the speech was given. But I think what, you know, when you think about her career and making a career out of what wasn't a career, people to this day will still argue that Kim Kardashian and the Kardashians don't have a talent. And people don't understand, oh, I don't understand why they're famous. What do they do? They don't know anything. It's the people around them that know everything, I don't think people really, like, get to stay relevant for as long as Kim Kardashian has, to reinvent yourself the amount of times that Kim Kardashian has had to, to float throughout different careers, positions, and all of the things, and still
Starting point is 00:08:30 land on top. Dang, that was a bad follow-up to float through positions and landing on top. I promise you, I'm not even being funny about the sex tape. I'm being honest. Like, Kim Kardashian, or the Kardashian Jenner family in general, but Kim Kardashian as a vehicle and as a brand and as a business, no one can take away from her the fact that she didn't have it all figured out. Things were happening.
Starting point is 00:08:51 There were like moments, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom happening. And she took those moments, was able to narrate a story around them and became one of the biggest celebrities in the world. And not only biggest celebrities in the world, but now product skims moves crazy. brand collapse go crazy she has become
Starting point is 00:09:13 the eye of fashion at one point people didn't even want Kim Kardashian so I gave you all the career background but on the fashion side of things Kanye West talked about this a lot too like Kim Kardashian was not welcome with the fashion girlies they looked at her as a reality TV star
Starting point is 00:09:30 which was some years ago you were reality TV star you were trash television they weren't about to have you sitting next to no Anna Wintor that is a right of passage baby that that was not happening all of that turned around and granted she's with congey west who was very loud and very vocal about y'all going let us in these rooms period us together but still even even that and i mean obviously i think kim loved coney she loved conier they had kids together you know people would debate that
Starting point is 00:09:59 but that was a moment and i say people would debate that because she did utilize that relationship to also build her career but he poured into her he was like okay this is my muse this is what we're doing this is where we're going this is how we going to you know what i mean she just leaned into it but to know how to lean in and then to triple it and up it after that you got i was going to say that's a talent but you're going to be mad i said that you got to be some sort of crafty and further than crafty because i think you can be witty and crafty and make something look big and it float off of that way for a second but i'm talking about years and years and years of brand building continuously at a very high level, and each year
Starting point is 00:10:41 things get better and better and better. Kim is so smart. She comes on the stream. She comes with her Sun Saint. I'm really trying to figure out where Northwest is. We talked about this a bit this morning. We talked about this a bit on the Breakfast Club as well, too, because Northwest is a huge Katsinaat fan. But Northwest was not there, but she comes on the stream with her son's saint. And it just makes so much sense. Like, she's sitting down with the guys and all. And she's sitting down with the guys and all the homies, you know, Kai always has, like, all the streamer homies with him. His group, his, is, like, you know, a core group with streamer friends. And they're sitting there talking and this was kind of like after, you know,
Starting point is 00:11:16 remember she did that trailer with Kai Sinai. Let's take a listen to the trailer where she played as therapist. Dr. Kim. All right, have a seat. Okay, so what's on your mind today? Seems like you've been really busy since the last time I saw you. Yeah, yeah. You know, been doing my thing, you know?
Starting point is 00:11:34 All right, I see you. You had a little riot in New York City. Yeah, that was bad. But you built a school in Nigeria. I did build a school in Nigeria. You blew up your own house. Never doing that again. Started your own basketball.
Starting point is 00:11:45 I was cooking them, little niggas. You lived in a prison that you built. You streamed with Johnson. And so she's sitting here. She's low-key giving, like, dressed in like therapist vibes and just listening to them. She has a clipboard playing off of that. And it's so smart because Kai is one of the biggest streamers in the world right now. It's an easy layup.
Starting point is 00:12:02 But also, too, I've heard it's very fun. it's not intimidating. It's a great vehicle for you to just move anything you're trying to move. And she wasn't on there, you don't necessarily promoting anything. But Kim Kardashian being anywhere, it's just a walking brand promotion. She's been really good at what she's had to do. And then you think about what the streamer world is, right? When you think about Kai Senat and you hear his story about being homeless and having to figure it out and just literally leaving school and sitting in front of his camera and really not understanding exactly what he was doing but knowing that he has something in the streamer world i mean i don't know about y'all but i feel
Starting point is 00:12:40 like in the last like a year or so has become that is the new medium that is the new media it wasn't like that at one point so you're building in this industry that people don't even consider a job but you're like you know what it's cool it's going to take care of me i promise y'all so the speech may feel a little empty to some and i'm not even going to hold y'all when i first heard it i'm like girl you could have saved that for a tweet. But then when I went back and listened and I put it in context and I thought about, okay, who is the audience, Kim Kardashian is speaking to? I'm like, oh, this is on brand.
Starting point is 00:13:11 It makes sense. Now, whether or not it will work for everybody, you know, that's a whole different argument because she also said the kids shouldn't do homework. So you tell the kids, you know, just do a bunch of things that might not work until something works and don't do your homework. We might be breeding some bums, Kim. But listen, out of 10 bums, you're going to have two success stories. Those two could be the next cast and that.
Starting point is 00:13:32 So shout out to him. Hola, it's Honey German, and my podcast, Grasias Come Again, is back.

A foot washed up a shoe with some bones in it. They had no idea who it was. Most everything was burned up pretty good from the fire that not a whole lot was salvageable.

Starting point is 00:16:40 Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What would you do if one bad decision forced you to choose between a maximum security prison or the most brutal boot camp designed to be hell on earth? Unfortunately for Mark Lombardo, this was the choice he faced. He said,
Starting point is 00:16:59 are a number, a New York State number, and we own you. Shock incarceration, also known as boot camps, are short-term, highly regimented correctional programs that mimic military basic training. These programs aim to provide a shock of prison life, emphasizing strict discipline, physical training, hard labor, and rehabilitation programs. Mark had one chance to complete this program and had no idea of the hell awaiting him the next six months. The first night was so overwhelming, and you don't know who's next to you. And we didn't know what to expect in the morning.
Starting point is 00:17:36 Nobody tells you anything. Listen to shock incarceration on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Now, in other news, switching gears really quickly, we've been seeing all over the internet these leaked, or what seemed to be leaked, jail calls from Youngthub. Young Thug, who was housed in Georgia during the YSEL trial, which was the longest running trial in Georgia State history, he was busy. He was busy on the phone. I saw a tweet that said, most people, when they locked up, you know, they enroll in classes, they're reading books, they're studying their case, they working out. Young Thug was calling home, like, listen, I got the update, I got the tea. He had the latest, okay?
Starting point is 00:18:24 He was calling home with the latest. So there are calls between him, 21 Savage, him and, you know, some of the management people on his team, YSL team, him and Mariah the scientist. There's a ton of calls, a bunch of different topics covered. I saw one recently with him talking about Kendrick Lamar and Drake. The big thing with these young thug calls is that a lot of this stuff did not age well. Because, I mean, Kendrick Lamar and Drake are still two of the biggest artists in the world. Drake is still Drake, but to say you will never be bigger than Drake, baby, the way not like us came and shifted the whole world and to this day is still rocking, not even just the U.S.,
Starting point is 00:19:04 the world, like everywhere you go. But we also heard similar tone and conversation from Thug when it came to Gunna and just a few things. And I was so, it kind of hurt my heart to hear young Thug talking the way that he did about gunna. And I understand at this point, you know, he's behind bars and he's fighting for his life. I get that part of it. I really, really do.
Starting point is 00:19:26 But whenever I thought about what the conglomerate of YS.L was, right, when it came to Young Thug and Gunna, and even just like how he, you know, not that much older, but still older than, you know, Gunna and Little Baby, how he, like, took them under his wing and, you know, kind of like, mentored or OGed them a little bit. I always respected him for that because I'm like, you know, what you did, Young Thug at that time, Because little baby always talks about how young thug literally paid him to stop being outside in his neighborhood and to get into music and to do what he's doing. And now, you know, little baby's one of the biggest rap stars in the world. And then you look at a gunner who comes in under Young Thug and, you know, obviously looks up to him and, you know, all the things.
Starting point is 00:20:12 And I know things didn't go right with this court case. But it really hurt my heart to hear him talk about certain things in the context he did because I'm like, you're supposed to be big homie. it just didn't sound like things were coming from a good place. Let's take a listen to a young thug talking about Little Baby and a deal that was going to potentially happen between Scooter Brown and Little Baby. Scooter Brown is a huge music head, music manager, who also came up in Atlanta. Let's take a listen.
Starting point is 00:20:41 I talk the way I'm on the phone. I said, what do you think he going to give you out of their money? I said, you think you're going to give you $75 million or $100 million? He's like, shit. I'm like, be always real. Do you think he going to get you certified to $100 million? you know that deal, be always real. He's like, hell, no, I don't think that
Starting point is 00:20:56 he's going to do it right like that. But Scooter Bruns, off a little, off of Wham, $150 million. School de Brun told Wham, I want to buy your rights, so I'm going to get your $150 million. Wham said, this nigger, now I'm cool. I got to bring Pete to a meeting.
Starting point is 00:21:11 Man, that nigger went straight around Wham and called Pete and bought the whole label from Pete. The whole conversation started from School, from Scoot of Brun trying to buy a little lamb, trying to buy him out of the deal, too. by when I'm out of the deal. Like, I want you to be with me. Well, like, shit, you got to talk to tea.
Starting point is 00:21:28 I'm brain, you got to talk to tea about that. Now, the reason why, like, okay, so for this audio, like, I understand where Thug is coming from with the whole, basically he was talking a little baby as the big call me, like, listen, you should have handed that on your own because ain't nobody going to look out for you like you're going to look out for you. But if the whole issue and a lot of the phone calls that we hear Young Thug on from these jail calls, is all about trying to figure out what Gunna's loyalty to him should have been,
Starting point is 00:21:57 what Gunna should have said, you know, when he was being asked questions in the courtroom and what he should not have said. If the whole conversation is about loyalty, I don't understand, you know, as someone who has someone's best interest at heart, because you don't know, I mean, we don't know. It hasn't come out yet, and maybe it will, because P from QC has been posting a lot of things in response to some of the things that are coming out from Gunna, I mean, from young thugs, young thug and he's phone. calls but you don't know what deal they may have done once school de brine did the deal with
Starting point is 00:22:29 p and q c or you know i don't know all the business inner workings but my point is is if i'm little baby i understand little baby being like yo if you're going to do this deal you know my situation is situated through qc and p and coach k and whoever right these things got we all got to sit down and talk about this that's a sense of loyalty i think little baby did what he was supposed to do in us situation. And the way and the tone that Young Thug is talking about it is like, do for self first. But at the same time, he's upset that gunna did for self first. There's been this whole back and forth about what that looks like, snitching, not snitching, whatever. I'm not getting involved in that because that's just not my place to be involved. I don't do nothing illegal,
Starting point is 00:23:14 so I don't got worried about none of that. But if we're having a conversation about loyalty and you know, what the narrative was and the things were that always made me. Like, I really respect the story that little baby tells about young thug because I know, you know, most of the people that are in the streets and have been for some time. There's two ways you go out of here, dead or in jail. No one ever has a success story from the streets. You end up dead, broke, in jail. Those are the things.
Starting point is 00:23:45 They're watching over your shoulder every single day where because you're trying to figure out, which one of those things is going to happen first. Little baby don't have to live like that no more. So you change that man's life. I've always respected that. But I don't understand, you know, why now, when it comes to little baby in the conversations that you're having with him about how to navigate his business with another person outside of you that has also helped him tremendously, QC changed his life as well.
Starting point is 00:24:11 What's wrong with him wanting to be loyal there? Why is that something to chuckle at? This whole thing with Young Thug has just been insane, though, because I feel like it's started out with a conversation about, you know, what was right and what was not right when it comes to, you know, answering questions for cops and all the things. And then it just took its own life. Now, I did reach out to Fulton County Jail because natural question when you see all of these audio calls and these jail calls and all these things being, you know, talked about and listened to online is how, Sway, how? And it's been reported as if some
Starting point is 00:24:44 things were leaked. And what I was told is that these video calls, and audio calls were not leaked. They were obtained through the Georgia Open Records Act. They emphasized to me, this is a, I spoke to the director of communications from the Fulton County Sheriff's Office. They were not leaked. They are part of the Georgia Open Records Act
Starting point is 00:25:05 and they were obtained through an open records request, which is normal. That's the normal thing. That can happen. All righty y'all, so Tamar Braxton has been keeping us on the edge of our seats, as she always does, to be honest with you. but more recently it's been about her health so some weeks ago tamar brackson opened up and told us that
Starting point is 00:25:25 she almost died she said she woke up in a pool of blood and she had no idea what happened fast forward we found out that she you know according to a doctor who was now helping her put together her teeth because she had lost a few teeth in this incident we found out that tamar brackson may have ended up in that pool of blood because of sleepwalking but they're still trying to figure everything out. Now, Tamar Braxton has been getting dragged from the moment she decided to get online and talk about what was going on with her. With fans feeling like this is just a big publicity stunt, this is just, you know, Tamar Braxton wanting attention. Now, she had began going back and forth. It was subliminal to a certain extent, but it really
Starting point is 00:26:10 wasn't. She began going back and forth with Funky DeNiva. Funky DeNiva is a YouTube personality, who does breakdowns of various entertainment and pop culture things, right? So in the beginning of all of this, you know, there were a lot of allegations being thrown Funky DeNiva's way when people were trying to figure out what happened to TAMAR Braxton. I watched one of Funky DeNiva's YouTube videos about this and he was basically saying that, you know, it got to a point where because TAMR is Tammar Braxton
Starting point is 00:26:38 and this got the pickup that it did, he was getting hounded and being asked questions that he felt like he shouldn't have been hounded about her, asked at all. And he wanted Tamar Braxton to come out and clear things up. And that did not happen. They exchanged, you know, a little indirect back and forth online. And fast forward to where we are today. So over the weekend, Tamar Braxton posted because in the midst of all of this, she dropped a promotion for an album. It's a album. And then there's also a visual component that stars Mendezis. And there's been some rumors that there was like a little dating,
Starting point is 00:27:15 a spotted out thing that happened between Tamar Braxton and D.C. She came out and said, this is just my friend. He is a part of the content, and that is it. Now, over the weekend, Tamar Braxton posted, y'all won. There's no more album, and I'm going to my farm, and you will never hear from me again. I am sorry for everything. Y'all laughing at the farm? I don't know why her choice
Starting point is 00:27:42 A place to retreat to was the farm But maybe it's because she can grow her own food And groceries are expensive So Tamar Braxton also decided to go live And engage with fans Because she's feeling a bit better And in the live She gets emotional
Starting point is 00:27:56 And again, she starts to talk about Whether this was a PR stunt or not Let's take a listen And the truth is, I've been in the hospital And the people want me to go back to the hospital I don't know what I don't know what I'm very hard I love it's okay well what's the drama that I did somebody got to tell me what is the drama tell me what is the drama tell me what's the drama all I know is I went to bed and I woke up and my life changed man at this
Starting point is 00:28:36 this point, I'm just going to say PR stunt, not PR stunt, I would hope that, you know, a person doesn't have to do. This is the same way I felt a little Nized X. I would hope that a person does not have to do a stunt involving their health that would potentially, you know, scare fans and loved ones to the extent that I'm sure that this has. But I do think even if a person feels like they need to pull a stunt like this, and I'm not saying that Tamar feels like that. I don't believe that it was a PR stunt. I do think the timing, It's crazy, though. The timing is insane. I think Tamar is having to address that because it does look insane. It looks very much like you got all these eyes on you and now you start talking about music. But at the same time, I feel like, number one, you should give empathy to anybody who feels like they have to do and pull a stunt like this. But also, I've been thinking about this. And I'm like, Tamar Braxton could literally get online and sneeze and it becomes a story for the blogs. Because, I mean, she's a Braxton sister. Like that is a legendary family that's number one but number two stories and controversy love to follow tamar so
Starting point is 00:29:43 it's not like she has to create the controversy in my opinion i i feel like cardi b has this album dropping am i the drama i feel like tamar herself and just telling her story and singing her songs and living her day to day life it's given am i the drama like people follow what she does they talk about all the things i don't understand how her saying all her teeth got knocked out is going to sell music. And people are pointing to, oh, well, it's the comeback story. It's the, it's the, you know, get well soon story. But if the girl's saying she ain't got no teeth, she can't even pop out and do the press and all the things and be beautiful the way she needs to, to even bask in the moment. So I personally don't think that it's a publicity stunt, but at this point now,
Starting point is 00:30:27 it don't even matter because Tay Marcelle, we're not even getting the album. And she has been pushing and promoting this music and things that she's been trying to figure out for some time. another thing too that I thought when I saw this is like I never want to get to a point and I know it's tough like when you got a bunch of people coming at you sideways from different left right boom boom boom and you're dipping and you dodging and you trying to you know just stay mentally sane to live your day to day it's tough but I never want to get to a point where if my intention is one thing and Tamar's intention and putting out the stuff that she put out she says it wasn't to grab attention she was just scared let's take a listen to that if my intention is one thing right her attention her intention here was to find community she needed some support she was scared she you know she's one of people to know what's going on with her she was probably happy to be alive when she woke up toothless but happy if i know my intention i always want to be so rooted in what my mission is that nobody can knock me off of that at all. And it made me sad to just, dang, I'm like, am I an empath? I'm really feeling
Starting point is 00:31:37 for people. Maybe I am. I don't know, because they also say I'm tone deaf too sometimes. I don't know. But it made me feel bad because I'm like, you know, if she really just did this because she was looking for, you know, community for people to talk, you know, through this with her, or just maybe like a, hey, get well soon so she could feel better about herself. And now her appearance and everything she's having to fix. And she allows the comments and, you know, all the things to make her not even want to drop music. I don't ever want to get there in my career. And granted, anywhere she goes to promote the music, she's going to have to talk about it.
Starting point is 00:32:12 But she would have to do that even if people felt like this wasn't a PR son. Like, that's just a part of Tamar Braxton. Like, she always has to, I don't know what it is, but it always feels like Tamar Braxton is having to fight to prove that she is above the noise. but gets caught up in the noise still. And I love Tamar. I love Tamar down. Like I do. She is so supportive.
Starting point is 00:32:33 She's always been very supportive of me. Well, not always. But since I've met her at Breakfast Club, she's been very supportive of me and, you know, always sending like kind words and, you know, just all the things. So, you know, I want to do that in return for her. But my biggest thing in this is like, yo, Tamar, like, bro, if you know what you set out to do when you posted your post, do your big one. Do your thing.
Starting point is 00:32:55 You've got to lean in on that. You have to. for me as a person watching, it seems like no matter what Tamar Braxton does, says, doesn't do, doesn't say, it's always giving him out of drama, period.
