I'm Dr. Lari Santos, and in a new year series of my show, The Happiness Lab, I'm going to look at the science of getting, well, unstuck, unstuck at work, unstuck in your relationships, and even unstuck inside your mind. I am the absolute worst culprit when it comes to getting into these ruminative loops and just driving myself crazy. Listen to the Happiness Lab on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your shows. Who would you call if the unthinkable happened? I said, it was y'all 22 times. A police officer, right? But what do you do when the monster is the man in blue?

I'm a homeguard that knows a little bit about everything and everybody. You hear that excuse? You know if you don't lie about that, right? Lauren came in hot. Hey y'all, what's up? It's Lauren the Rosa. This is the latest with Lauren the Rosa.

This is your daily dig on all things pop culture, entertainment news, exclusives, and all of the conversations that shake the room, baby. Now, today, if you guys can't tell, I am not in here alone for those of our, you know, our audio listeners, y'all. We got five million people plus listening. They're called our low riders. Mm-hmm. The low riders. Yes, so say hi to the low riders. Hello to the low riders. Yes, yep. Six, four bouncing. period. So yes, we have the people listening, but then we also have the people who are watching, also low riders as well. But the video audience and their attitude is a lot different than the audio audience. So I talk to them a little differently, you know? You know how that go? Guys, on today's episode with me here in the studio, first guest on the podcast. I like that. Clap. First guest on the podcast in the new studio. I have the amazing voices and personalities of the back.

fuel podcast. You guys have been all over the place, viral everywhere. So of you. Yes. Yes. I might add a couple of moments.

A couple of you guys. I'm TMZ and all this other stuff. CNN? You got to say breakfast club. Just the way you came were in the breakfast club. Television.

Was a big viral moment. Come on stop. I have moments. But y'all are like, what I admire about you guys especially because, like, being in the content space, I don't think people understand that it's, like, really a job to be consistent.

Y'all are very consistent. Appreciate it. Thank you. You don't feel like, why you breathe like that? No, no, because it is a job. Because you understand. People just be thinking it's, we're on time, too. Yeah, we hate being late.

We're not talking about you. No, no, no, I'm not. No, no, I'm not. No, you're on time. Yeah, yeah, but we're good. We're just talking about just in what goes on in the normal perspective of hip-hop and meeting and stuff. Everybody's always late.

Yeah, they love being late. They're special. We don't think they're special. We want to be on time. We always strive to work the best. I haven't been doing this that long. I'm saying. I'm not even doing it.

About four or five years now? First of all, I think separately you guys should introduce yourself to the audience. Okay. I mean, you want to flip a quarter to go first? You go first. They call me Heineken. Yes, I'm Haitian. No, I'm not on O-Sempic.

Yes. Everything else. else you've heard about me is 90% true. And I'm single for the rest of my life. Oh, God. We'll unpack that in a little bit. Oh, yeah, we can talk. He asks questions. Everybody say, hi,

Honey King. Hi. Yeah, low riders, we see you. I feel like we had a meeting right now. That whole, I'm single for the rest of my life, felt like you need a community. No, I want no communities. But I give relationship advice to married men and men in relationships. Oh, yeah. Even though I'm single, I give the greatest

therapy. You do? Yes. And it always works. Because you know who might need you? And we're going to get into that on this episode? Who? Young thug. Oh, I got him. Okay.

We're going to get there. He has to go back to jail to save his relationship. Okay. Yeah, I know. He's different. Very different. What? He's serious, though.

It's your turn now. You introduce yourself. I'm ESSO. Everyone sees sounds official, one half a bag fuel. I'm from Southside Jamaica, Queens. I've been in the music business for about 30 years now. Got you. Got you.

Got you. Well, here. on the show we do um i mean i don't know if you guys have ever listened or tuned in but we do like a breakdown of like entertainment topics oh beautiful today we're just going to stick on one topic because i feel like between the three of us we'll be in here for five hours talking if we do three so on my way over here there you know there's been a lot of conversation around young thug and the jail audios and you know all of the things right yes now first of all just in general i heard you guys talking as i was getting ready about how you feel

about just the audios from the jail phone calls being linked in general. Yeah, yes. It's a nice rollout because Young Thug embarrassed the Atlanta court system. That was the biggest court case in the whole Georgia. So money was spent.

You had lawyers that were doing only fans to supplement their income, which you know about that, right? You had lawyers getting with the defendant and all that things. Are you talking about that? that they reportedly just had a baby together. Yes.

So, and he embarrassed the system because, you know, Fonnie needed that for her re-election. Probably she has political aspirations. So, and hip-hop is the biggest target because, you know, it brings headlines. There's no more mobsters. There's no more cartel leaders. So young thugs face card is enough to catapult you in a stratosphere. So now, since he got off and he's been free. Uh-huh.

We need to embarrass him. This is a rollout right now currently. So you feel like, Hineken, this is a targeted attack. Yes. He's under attack now. So you do to. Oh, he's definitely under attack. You heard us talking about it.

I said, I don't know who he pissed off. He pissed off somebody. They're coming for his head, pause right now, because anything that's going to make him look bad, now they just leak the Glorilla thing. Yes, yep. They need that he talking badly about Glorilla. Yes.

Gloria, you're in the media. It keeps rolling now. You know what a rollout is. Come on. You had a famous rollout, y'all. Who? Me? What was my rollout?

Oh, my God. Law and LaRosa. Anyway, What was my rollout? Let's stay on top of time. I didn't have no rollout. We can talk about this stuff on bag. Yeah, later.

Okay, guys, because we're going to be, no, listen, we can enter the time because what I want the audience to know is you guys are here because we will be doing to sit down for backfield for you guys show as well. So make sure if you guys are listening here and y'all here, kind of the appetizer to the craziness. Go get the full entree because we'll be doing that sit down. But I do have those jail calls. And I want to start before we get to Young Thug with Gorilla,

I want to back up a bit because there was also one recently released with Little Dirk or him Young Thug talking or discussing Little Dirk. Let's take a listen to that one first. So that's the second one that I sent you, Laura. They got to be. What's up with the boy, Dirt? You're talking about Dirk? Yeah.

You need to make that... Of course. You need to make that nigga. You know, I don't know. You know, I like... I did a lot of play of shit for the boy, too, though, when the boy career went with where he put in, man, Pluto. I would really, like, locked in with him, like, get really fucking with him.

But he, I don't know. He's acting a little different. I don't like that, man. What you mean? Like... Wait, wait. I didn't fit him a few songs. He's just like, um...

Shit, I know, I know for show, going right up on, or going right up. He just got... damn, taking their time, you know, niggins, four, five days, day, day later, just, like, that little type of shit, like, man, you got going on, huh? Yeah. Yeah, I already love you. Like, man, niggins are too much shit for you, man, watch out, me. Yeah.

He did that, man, when he shit's like, yeah, one of the money to have, yeah. He sent a song for my lap, yeah, he sent a song for it. Then, got damn, when he's trying to clear the song, he, now he'll clear the phone. Now he'll clip his song So the song that made the album He didn't clip Man didn't clear it Didn't clear the song

What you mean ain't clear the song Yeah he did He worked out with me Then you get on the internet Keep somebody's thud This is that dude This is that man That cap ass shit

I'm mad man You're right to be crazy boy You're right for hell boy One thing I'm gonna say If this is The target attack right The alleged target attack that you guys are saying Listen to

They know exactly Somebody in there is so good With hip hop media And just media in general They know exactly who to talk about And what to talk about What calls the pool Let's the police

They do everything Yes But I will But Okay so the police know everything They know who everyone is Of course The timing of a lot of this

It's very like I feel like I'm dealing with another Like news journalist At this point It's like some of the things That they're releasing As they're releasing them

Like the Kendrick and Drake right around the time Drake sits with Bobby Like that's I don't know Y'all know cops said Pay attention to that type of stuff You know how many cops Made Detective watching World Star videos

But just what Yeah but understanding timing And relevance of like news Conversation and trend That's a whole different conversation That's what I do as a producer I need you to cook first So we can start

First of all Let me show you how systematically They're attacking him Dirk That means he can never never go to the Midwest. Glorilla, that means he's no good west of Atlanta. They're putting him to a point that he's only going to have to live in Utah.

Think about it. Everybody, they're going against. He can't be in them towns. You're a snitch now. You can't go to the West Coast. Utah. Now something's going to drop with him an NBA young boy, and he's not going to be able to go there because the NBA young boy be there, too.

Of course. Who the hell held on to the tape since 2015? Yeah, why they never dropped it? Why is nobody even talking about this? They dropped this shit from 2015 with him snitching. Who held on to the tape? But that interrogation conversation with thug and that wasn't new. It wasn't?

No, that was not. There had been a conversation prior to this about what was said and what wasn't said when I think his name is Pewey, right? The guy that shot up the tour bus. But there was no proof, though, was it? I remember, and I don't know exactly how I remember, but I remember there being a conversation about who, said what and when and there being a conversation about what was thugs role in that but it was never

discussed the way it's being discussed right now that's the point then they say yeah but then they say thug was snitching on somebody in the in the in the tape right well because in the tape he's so what he said was i wish we i could have sent her the interrogation tape but what he said basically he was he was saying enough in his and from thugs opinion he was saying just enough to clear his friend to clear, oh boy, right, who end up coming out and saying, look, he good at my book because what he did, we're fine. So if y'all are running with the snitch allegations, whatever, whatever, but even removing it from like the snitch, not snitch, whatever, because I don't feel like that even sticks as hard as people think that it does for certain people. I also feel like

two of you guys look at how the conversations are happening around Thug versus not when the conversation was around Gunna, people were allowed about how they felt. We're not doing this with him. We're not doing that with him. You're not seeing that with thugs. So even if people do decide to distance their stuff, in my opinion, there's a different level of respect for him that I don't know, even if artists choose to not do certain things, if it will impact him the same way people thought it would impact a gunner or it did impact like a Takashi 6-9. Like, I just think that there's a different level of respect for him. It just, it feels that way anyway. Let me tell you something. People are not loud about. Lauren, what you just said is the most

dangerous thing. I think people are, yes, people are talking about it. Yeah. But do you feel like they're discussing it differently than how gunner's situation. Yeah, because we've got experience with this now because there's a lot of niggins that snitching now. Like, we're learning that snitching is just a way of life. If people ever watch back few, I said this two years ago, I said the street code, I said there is no code. It's fake.

There is nothing. Snitching was invented by street niggas. You got to be a street nigger. You got to be a criminal to be a snitch, period. Because who was the first snitch? A civilian? That don't make no sense. A civilian can't snitch.

So when you're paying attention to what's really going on, head you really know what's happening what's going on and thug and what thug is doing or what they're saying he's doing what everybody's saying about rat lana and all the rest of the stuff that's really going on this is a problem yeah it's an ongoing problem of people thinking that oh somebody go and say something about somebody and lead them the wrong way then that's cool it's not cool because then you're ridiculing the same man for saying he did the same thing correct yeah but now they're Now, niggins is saying, yo, I'm not going to come out on high because, yo, Gunner had a number one hit. Yep.

That's what they're saying. Damn, I put myself on one side, but they're still pushing the rap. So what if Thug come out and Thug got a number one hit too? And people want to forget about what Thug did. I don't want to say nothing anymore. Can I ask an honest question? I am so removed from all of this. I am a civilian.

I want nothing to do with none of this. Doing the right thing. At all, whatever, whatever, right? why does this matter amongst these artists who are so rich and don't have to bust a gun another day in their life if they chose not to? Why does this matter? I don't think you're going to like my answer.

I want to hear an answer because also, too, when I'm hearing them rap about certain things, now, like them now. Thug as big as he is as a, Thug is not just like rapper. Thug is like a pop star. He's a high talk. Right? As famous as he is now, I don't, even if he is doing it, my mind doesn't instantly go to,

he's out here in the streets, really doing blah, blah, blah, blah. blah, blah, blah, right? He is a superstar. He is, why does any of this even matter at all at this point? Like, why do we care how people look at him, not look at him? He's still going to have a core audience. Everybody still has an audience. A long time ago, and I'm going to let Esso clean this up, he said, no matter how far removed

you get, the streets are undefeated. Women love being outside in the streets. And when I'm in the streets, going on vacations. Yeah. And then here's the thing. And we're going to unpack this topic. Is that simple? Yes.

The streets are undefeated. Drake went to a white girl to cry about acceptance from hip hop. Why not go to black people? Because the streets matter. Does it make sense? No. But Drake is not no street artists. But he cares about the streets.

Does it make sense, Lauren? No. It does, but I just don't feel like, I don't think that, like granted, like I just said, I'm civilian removed, whatever, whatever. But I'm not a dummy. I grew up around certain things. But you're outside. Right, but this is my thing, though.

I don't think, there's no way that you could really be in the streets in the way that anybody would need to feel like they need to approve it from you anyway and be this big celebrity. Lauren, let me. Lauren, pause. Two of them, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. I'm not going to name no names. And somebody crashes and burns.

Lauren, I'm not going to name no names, but these niggas is in the street. Stop thinking because they can't be that deep into it. Lauren, Lauren, Lorosa. Lauren La Rosa I've been doing this for 30 years These niggas is in the street These niggas will tell you I'll be like yo bro

I just so my man just told me So on so and so got the work and so And so on so why are these niggas Why are these niggas dealing with the street niggas? Hold on Why are they putting work on the streets And all these people will be like Yo these niggins just they just want to be

in tool with the streets It's undefeated. Okay? They want a street bitch. I don't want that superstar bitch that really likes me. I don't want her. I don't want her. I don't want her.

I want the girl on the ground. No, I want the girl from Southside Rochdale, member teenie that grew up and she got the bubble and all that. That's the one that I want. Okay. New Year, fresh start.

And on my podcast, We talk mental health, healing, growth, and everything you need to step into your next season, whole and empowered. New Year, Real You. Listen to checking in with Michelle Williams from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Are you desperately hoping for change in 2026, but feeling stuck? Just spinning your wheels and old routines and bad habits. I'm Dr. Lari Santos. And in a new year series of my show, The Happiness Lab,

I'm going to look at the science of getting, well, unstuck, unstuck at work, unstuck in your relationships, and even unstuck inside your mind. I am the absolute worst culprit when it comes to getting into these ruminative loops and just driving myself crazy. We'll look at ways to reignite your sense of purpose, rediscover your values, and get more creative. We'll also explore how to design a life that feels more fulfilling.

It's sort of like the game of life. I don't know if you ever played that game. Oh my gosh, yes. You take the car along and you try and get money, and you try and get degrees, and you try and get to the end where either you have a mansion or a ranch or a shack. And once you get to retirement, you're done. What about the whole path along the way? So join me to get unstuck in 2026.

Listen to the Happiness Lab on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your shows. Let me give you context. Wait, hold on, wait. Before we go to you, question for you, is there a level of? the guys you were talking about, there's not a level of success that they hit where that's not possible. Because there are, I do know artists that are still moving around, but there's no level of success that you hit. I can't even, I can't even, I can not say this shit on this show. After we cut off the camera, I'm going to be a shock.

I'm going to be like, I'm going to just show you, I'm going to just show you how the topest, topest niggas still is in the street. I'm going to show you. Let me show you something. Right. Women get dragged for being ridiculous about a lot of shit. Women will leave their man for a horoscope. that's the same level of ridiculous. I love women.

Thank you. Thank you, Lauren. Thank you. I told you. I love them. No, that's true. You got some issues. No.

Are we becoming friends? We're becoming friends. Okay, so I'm honest with my friends. I'm probably too honest. Let me ask you something. The minute that you introduce yourself to the love writer. You want me to a lie? You said I'm single and I never, what do you say?

I'm never going to be a relationship. I'm never going to be lonely and miserable. No, no, I'm never lonely. Oh. I never said that. That's crazy. I'm still outside. I'm just not in a relationship.

Okay. Well, we'll deal with your issues after what I'm saying is the same way with the horoscopes, because men don't care like that. It's the same thing with the street stuff with men. It's that level of ridiculousness. We're like, why do you care? This don't make no sense.

So I'm giving the same equivalency. A man would be like, I don't get why a woman's into horoscope. You just love street, niggas more than the girls love them now. Yes. This is the biggest. There you go.

So the niggas see. another street niggins and they want to be him. These niggas is so stupid. I understand the acceptance thing and I understand that. But I just feel like when you really come from it and you get to a certain point where you're removed and you're safe and not even safe, but like, you're making a life for yourself.

It's like, why do you even like? Lauren, I'm not trying to run. You're too intelligent for this combo. I wish everybody was. We wouldn't be here. We wouldn't have no job off the stuff. I'm going to tell you one thing you're overlooking. One thing.

These niggas are dumb. Men are dumb All they're not men We're not going to talk about Because they're women that are dumb We're going to leave it to where You were talking Where was the discussion at

Yes People that still want to be in the streets Okay boom We're going to leave it there We're not going to talk about men Because if women want to be in the streets Men want to be in the streets too Okay

There you go These people Because I'm going to tell you about Women ganks I just talked about women gags They're just walking up to me Talking about that they want to be So they trap queens

And all Everybody got to relax Okay Everybody in the street Everybody in the streets Everybody got to relax Everybody know I've been in the street It's no secret

It's not the move It's not sexy And I don't say that I say the streets is unfair They don't teach us young kids That when you're trying to go out there And get money and do things They don't show you that it's unfair

Right And people get caught up in that lifestyle That's my point It's like when you finally get out And in a way from all of that I know I'm like Probably like very hopefully speaking. I just would love

to think that once you start seeing some it's like... So they get undone. No. So they get undone. No, no, no, no, no. Not undone, but would you at least admit that some people sometimes get to a certain point where they know that like thug right now should know he's hot. He can't do anything if he

ever thought he could. People, they care too much about him. If what you guys are saying are true, this is a coordinated attack. Imagine him trying to go out and be in the streets right now. That would be stupid. That's the point. Right, that would be stupid, right? But he could burn out and do that. But I'm saying, but what I'm saying is that I would like to think that when you get to where he is, right, where you've had to go through things and you realize things, you, whatever, you'd be like, nah, I'm just chill.

I'm going to give you an example. You, you are the preeminent go-to figure to all the stuff with the Diddy case, quote, unquote, right? No, no, let me show you something. No, let me show you something. He's older. He's been outside. And when everything was happening, he was still outside partying, making. making apologies that wasn't sincere,

doing the same thing, having malfunctions in real time. Right. So if that's Diddy doing that, what do you expect from Thug? They're going to learn from what Puffy did. Are you sure? Doug isn't outside.

This stuff is old. They're surfacing. But not anybody that got anything. Let me ask you say, you think this is the last tape to come out? No, no, no. Oh, they're going to keep it going. That was the longest running case in Georgia State.

Hell, no. He got more calls. So then if you keep, hitting the wall eventually it's going to crack that's the point and they're trying to get at him speaking of more tapes there was another one that also released this one is newer this one actually came out uh what was this yesterday today is this the glowrilla yeah that's just i just i just saw this today glorilla i saw i saw it right before you walked in yes that's tough

what you're not saying i'm a part of the coordinator today no um please clarify let's let's let me know no no listen I saw it right before you walked in I don't want to know what you're trying to say? I'm going to tell y'all this girl saw us at a barbecue and walked up on me like she had a gun so I ain't going to be no Lauren LaRosa slander. Oh, speaking to which. You had a lot of girls mad at me too.

Why? They was like, how dare you talk to my friend like that and I saw you talking to her and everything? You were looking like steak again. Yeah, yeah. Oh, I owe you. Oh, you're talking about at the barbecue they was mad at you? Yeah, when you ran down and we was talking and they were looking and when you walked. Oh, you didn't tell them know that it was like because people, I don't

I think I, I mean, you didn't do nothing wrong. No, I know I didn't. Yeah. I'm like, I'm like, girly, but like people don't know that, mind you, I didn't, my energy is not ever, like, it's a bit aggressive. Oh, yeah. It's a bit of, but I think people don't expect that from me. So they probably, I don't know what they thought the conversation was, but I was like,

yo, what's up? Like, why are y'all talking about I don't want to come and all that? Like, I'm here. Like, you, I'm not hard to find. Like, what's up? That was what the conversation was. Oh, but for the optically, oh, damn, hell, the role I was. was beautiful.

That's how you talk to her. She was all made up and everything. The conversation, when I walked past it, when she stopped me, she was talking to her niggins. Don't do that because I got it made here and y'all about to make that real

because that was not what was happening. I was saying hello to everybody in the barbecue. Do not do that. Okay? We are not going to do that one. Y'all trying to spice it for the whatever.

No, I got video. I didn't know my ex- I was talking to Shiggy when you walked by. No, that was a Shiggy. So just But we're going to leave it alone We're going to move on

What you're talking about right now You're going to talk about You're a part of the coordinated attack What is happening right now? Gloverilla audio Jail called Let's bring that with this I saw the girl

The girl's The girl's the girl Gorilla She's Yeah Why don't people say she pretty That'd be ugly as fuck You think she ugly

You said it Like yeah They say she ain't ugly. People, men, niggas be saying she ain't, this ain't man. They just saying she looked like Rihanna. Man, p.

They like goddamn Breonna. It's not. Watch out. Oh, man. She look like Rihanna. Long-haired bushed, that wig, skinny shit. Got-down big head head,

big mouth. Man, watch out. Now, the crazy thing about that audio is Glorilla. tweeted in response, mind you, it's the same nigger blowing my phone up to ask what color my eyes is, laugh my ass off. But you know what that play is about now? Because he's

with his lady. Now, it's internal strife. It's systematic. It's easy work. And if he loses his lady, that traumatizes dudes. They'd be like, damn, I lost my main girl that I actually like being around. Because she's like, so did you fuck her? You'd be like, no.

You sound like you did or you want to. You don't like me. So he's getting intact internally. He's getting attacked publicly, privately. This is systematically, this Psiops right here is amazing, y'all. You'd be mansplaining like that all the time. Mansplaining what? Because how did you miss the whole point of you, Thug is sitting on the phone with his girlfriend, right?

Having a full conversation about this girl, downplaying this girl, dragging this girl, you got your girlfriend engaged in the whatever. And your girlfriend is not just anybody. She's Mariah Sciences, who we've already seen, you know, y'all had a little public, like, we saw the girl come visit you, you had to get a line and all of Apologies, right? So here she is about to be embarrassed again because now Guarola. Now Gloria is coming again saying, or coming now and saying, hold on, wait, you're talking about who trying to smack? You, you ask him what color my eyes. Do you think you want to the color

her eyes because he wants to contact the match? Or? No, that's the point. And even if she's with it, now everybody going to be in her ear, oh, you let your man do that. You know, people are fake judgmental. How are you? It's not true. But how are you getting that from this? Your Takeaway should be your ass messed up. Why is he even discussing Gloria, knowing you wanted to do this? Let's let's not do this. Men and women talk like this candidly and privately.

He doesn't know he's being taped like that. If he's not paying attention, they just leak in a private convoy. That's just what it is. But at what point... Did we see Glorilla's DMs? Or did she just say this? This is what I'm going to say. This is what I'm going to say, though.

We didn't see him. But if you're Glorilla, in the midst of all of this, saying that, you know the next step is especially because he has a girlfriend. So Mariah the scientist naturally, I mean, I want to see. If I'm her, hey, well, post the text. I want to see it because it's not even about me and you, Mariah the scientist and Glorilla.

It's I need to have a conversation with him because why are we even discussing somebody that, you know what I mean? Whether he had that conversation early on and his interaction with Glorilla came later or his interaction with Glorilla was a long time ago and then he had that conversation regardless, it happened and I need to understand everything.

So Marilla knows she might have to show some receipts so she don't strike me as a type to just get online and say that. Does she strike you as that? I've never met her. She doesn't strike me as that type. Yeah, but either way now, he's jammed up either way. Whether she's with, let's just say his girl is with the action.

Now people that's in his girl's life are going to be asking her questions. Oh yeah, of course. It's already questions. Exactly. So that's where I'm coming from. They've been stood by a homeboy this time. Yeah. The girl then came in jail.

She's the faithful woman. Now this is something else that could be going on. You know what I'm saying? He's supposedly bad news. He's a street guy. Her father is supposedly a cop, an ex-cop, and all this place. We already know how that type of stuff goes down.

People start talking like, you're going to have to start distancing yourself from him, babes. Because of her, like, work and all the things. Exactly. It could hurt her career. But Mariah, the scientist, rolled that wave out the whole time, though. Even after old girl came to the, there was the videos of the visit that leaked and all that. She rolled that out.

Maybe she let some, aren't you curse up here? Yeah, you can curse them. Maybe she let some f***. You know, people got regular, you know, people got relationships, they got open relationship, they got open relationship, they got, we don't know that. We did, they'd be probably, but maybe she let some fuck, maybe it isn't a big deal. I will say, though, after that visit happened where Devin Haney's child's mom, came and saw Young Thug, the way Young Thug came online and had to clarify, I only want this, and you know what I mean,

and throwing his love towards Mariah to Sciences, it didn't seem like it was an open situation, but we don't know. I mean, this is all, it's all a movie. So she don't, like, we know people live different type of personal lives, and you know what your family knowing, like, I'm letting him do whatever, or we do menages, or we do this. So you got to come out and say something, Because if you don't say anything, that means you're allowing this.

And this is cool. I mean, but Lauren, in fairness, you went through this. Who? What's your mean? With you and just hilarious. People were speculating. Because what? No, I'm just not like that.

Wait for now. No, we're not talking about. I figure out, like, what men you associated me with that I'm not. No. You only got put so much many and, um, oh, babe, I made a mistake before the mistake becoming too much. No, but what I'm saying is when when y'all went through that, right, publicly, how people were looking at it.

I'm pretty sure people were hitting your phone, making up stories. That's not true. Making up. But people have their opinions and you do get the noise. But the noise, then people take the noise into another stratosphere. You dig what I'm saying? Yeah. And then your close confidants are hitting you, you can give them whatever the real perspective

is, but it's over and over and over again. Your DMs, your messages, your Twitter, all of that, you know? Same, same rules apply. But that's why I said this is not her. first rodeo with that though because once that happens one time right and then you realize like okay I might can't pick up the phone for everybody I might can't give everybody my perspective or voice my opinion because then now and they make you know what I mean you learn kind of how to navigate a situation this is not her first rodeo with there being a conversation about thug another woman his jail sentence

in her like her life you know what I mean like this is not her first time so she knows how she wants to navigate it and who to pick up the phone for or whatever I think my main thing point in to me this looking crazy it just doesn't it just looks crazy like what's crazy about it specifically if lorilla is tasked with showing any receipts and she's able to it looks crazy on my right of scientist's part because it is like if there is not no open relationship you've held it down not only did she hold it down but there's been conversations from his family about how she made sure his kids saw him like she really and she's a woman with a very demanding career at that. So obviously she loves

this man, right? Guess what you did? What? You justified the rollout. The rollout of what? The impact of this. If you feel like that there's no open relationship and now Mariah has to now recrystalize what the relationship is and figure it out, these

tapes are working. So you're alleging that the state of Georgia is using Mariah to a scientist to break young thug down. No, everything. And to get their get back because he embarrassed them. How many millions Did Georgia lose on letting that man go free? I don't know the number. It's a lot.

Hi, I'm Dr. Priyankowali. And I'm Hurricane de Bolu. It's a new year. And on the podcast's health stuff, we're resetting the way we talk about our health. Which means being honest about what we know. know, what we don't know, and how messy it can all be. I like to sleep in late and sleep early.

Is there a chronotype for that, or am I just depressed? We talk to experts who share real experiences and insight. You just really need to find where it is that you can have an impact in your own life and just start doing that. We break down the topics you want to know more about. Sleep, stress, mental health, and how the world around us affects our overall health. We talk about all the ways to keep your body in mind, inside and out, healthy. We human beings, all we want is connection.

We just want to connect with each other. Health stuff is about learning, laughing, and feeling a little less alone. Listen on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. You know, we always say New Year, New Me, but real change starts on the inside. It starts with giving your mind and your spirit the same attention you give your goals. Hey, everybody, it's Michelle Williams, host of checking in on the Black Effect Podcast Network. And on my podcast, we talk mental health, healing, growth, and everything you need to step into your next season, whole and empowered. New Year, Real You.

Listen to Checking in with Michelle Williams from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Are you desperately hoping for change in 2026, but feeling stuck? Just spinning your wheels and old routines and bad habits? I'm Dr. Lari Santos, and in a new year series of my show, The Happiness Lab, I'm going to look at the science of getting, well, unstuck at work, unstuck in your relationships, and even unstuck inside your mind. I am the absolute worst culprit when it comes to getting into these ruminative loops and just driving myself crazy.

We'll look at ways to reignite your sense. of purpose. Rediscover your values and get more creative. We'll also explore how to design a life that feels more fulfilling. It's sort of like the game of life. I don't know if you ever played that game. Oh my gosh, yes. You take the car along and you try and get money, and you try and get to the end where either you have a mansion or a ranch or a shack. And once you get to retirement, you're done. What about the whole path along the way? So join me to get unstuck in They lost to the Happiness Lab on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your shows. They lost a lot of money.

You think white people like losing money to black people? I worked in corporate structures. They're going to get the money back. Look at COVID. When they gave us all that money, they've been getting it back. Come on, Lauren. You don't act like you. Because you was big on the ditty case.

I'm just going to say this. Before all this stuff went down, he had Rory on Backfield. And I said Rory, the biggest problem with Puffy was Diageo. This was before anybody ever. Oh, him calling him out? Yes.

I swear to God, we was the first dudes to say this. Yeah. We were the very first that everybody laughed at us. Oh, we're crazy. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Well, that's, I mean, that's like who you're talking to. because anybody knew when you saw that, even if what he was alleging Diageo did,

which was not spend marketing dollars right with him and his alcohol brands because he was a black man. Even if that were true, you know that's a crazy uphill battle because you're a black man versus a corporation. We never found out what was happening, what wasn't. Diageo said that that was not the case. Rory was in our show.

He said, I worked for Diageo and all this, and y'all have to be crazy to even think one has to do another. And I say, when it comes to a black man shining, all stops come out for that. So, well, we think thug is not a big deal. I want to ruin the- Oh, he's a huge thing. No, no, I'm saying. But the way that they're approaching it, like, yes, I want to ruin his life with Mariah. I want him to have to deal with women that he can't trust and is going to use him now and run him in the ground.

We don't want him to have any backbone. So now we want him to look close. crazy to everybody that war shift the ground that he walks on. Oh, he's a snitch just like everybody else, player. He's no different. And we're going to run this train all the way down. Whatever the next thing is with Doug, we want to break his whole train down.

And you know what happens when you break a nigga train down? They go back out to the streets. And they go start committing crimes. How long is he on probation for? I don't even remember the number. Ten years. I was supposed to say. I just remember.

No, ten years. So we need to break him down to the compound right now. The circumstances is crazy, too. Like, he can't go to Atlanta. He can't, like, there's a lot of things. So now, with this attack, all he has to do is make one mistake. That's it. And he back.

Got him. He only had to make one mistake before these calls, though, y'all. But the, no, but the mistake that we're talking about is getting him to go back. Oh, you say, like, you're alleging, like, they're pushing. This is another way to push somebody to the edge. This is how many do black men? Yo, it's not obvious. We're not going to just say we're going to do it.

We're going to do it slowly. Yeah, it's a long play. We're putting you, we're slowly putting you in the corner. And when you get in that corner, you know what you got to do? You got to fight your way out. Now you ain't the same nigga no more. Let me show you a record. But here, okay.

I was going to say, before we move on. Yes. Right. If what you guys are alleging is the case. Here is me taking it back to personal responsibility again because I ain't never been locked up, but I know the calls are recorded. Why are you on the phone with all this anyway? Wait, what did he say six minutes ago?

These niggas are dumb. Thank you. This is giving podcast. Lord of the Rosa. Lord of the Rosen. That's why I say you're too smart. You're just for this couple. Why is happening?

Lauren and Rosa, these niggers are dumb. She keeps trying to figure it out. I'm not even trying to figure it out. You are too intelligent for this motion. I'm closing out the obvious because I would like to think that, I would like to think that someone like a young thug who has been able to navigate so much would just maybe just bling, like, come on. Lauren, I've been with the, I grew up in the music business.

I've been around these guys for years. Guys that's not even around anymore, they don't exist, the new one. Yo, they're that fucking dumb. Her problem is she's only around genius men. Charlemagne, envy. I don't get around genius men. I know stupid men, too. Yeah, but at a high level, it's way more higher than the average woman.

Oh, yeah. So you have an expectation of intelligence from a man. always going to have, even before I'm around whatever, whatever, the way I was raised, I'm always going to have an expectation for men, that I'm black men. I'm always have an expectation for y'all because I know what, when things are applied the right way and done the right way, the brilliance that happened. So that's just me in general. That's just what I give. But a little bit of a- father? No, not in my household. No, but was he in your life, I mean?

He got in my life around like 14. Yeah. We, I mean, we have like a touch and girl relationship, but, like, we're cool. Like, I could call him and whatever. But my brother's dad was in my life. He didn't live with us, but he was actively in my life, though. Well, you had one. Yeah, my brother's dad, like, because your outlook, I always, I grew up with both my parents in the house, which is very rare.

But I do realize that women that have fathers on significant men in their life as leaders, y'all think differently. I don't think, like, the other women that's out here. I think also, too, though, like, I have a younger brother, and I've always been, I mean, I'm the oldest child in the house. So for me and my little brother was like, you know, in and out of things. And, you know, he got into, like, we've had to go through all of this with him. So watching my mom fight for him every step of the way, even today I'd be like, yo, bro, like, mom, he's grown.

And she'd be like, you won't understand until you have kids yourself, especially when you're raising a black man in his world. Like, you don't just give up on them, right? So for me, I think the nurture that that's basically what you're feeling. There's a nurturing part of me that just will love to hope that one day, the dumbness turns off and the light turns on because if not, that could cost you your life. It could cost you how you provide for your family, all those things. What about reality?

Reality of the situation is dumb as hell. Why are you being recorded? If you was trying to figure out what color glowrilla eyes is and it's not because you want the matching context, why are you having a conversation with Mariah the scientists about her? The reality of this is this is great for content, but it's stupid for his real life. And that's all I'm saying.

And for me, I'm tired of being the black dude being torn down looking crazy being the topic of discussion. It's slick, annoying right now. Like, us people, whatever, you just got to find a way just to do better and be smarter. We're less impulsive. Us black people, we are so passionate about our stuff,

but even myself, I could have a tendency to react to things poorly when they don't go my way. That's a black thing. I see a lot of white people. I don't think that's a black thing. I think that's a passion thing. We are, I feel like we're very, yeah, we're very, like, animated, passionate, soulful people.

That makes it a black. That makes it a black thing. But to be fair, though, people do wig out in other ways. We don't shoot up schools when we're tight. That's true. Come on now. We don't smash your kids on our head. You know, see?

Let me say this to you. Let me say this. What's up, E? We sat with ghost face today, right? We talked about Nause, right? And I asked them a question. Why, like, why do you, what is it about? about his personality and who he is

to make you trust him so much and whatever. And the first thing he said was he's calm. And that's so different to black people. That, no, he's calm. It's like that as a sign of weakness sometimes amongst our culture. Really? Yes.

I feel like as a woman, a calm man to me is a man with a plan because he is watching all the perimeters. I want to be more calm too. He knows what's happening. He knows in real time he can think for both of us. Let me show you something. He can feel and understand. Because of how it looks on camera, right?

I'd be more laid back. So everybody's like, he's the mean one. And he's like, you? You are, oh, him. They say I'm the mean. But it's in reverse. Okay. Really?

You mean? Yeah, I thought. I mean, you have. I mean, you just said. No. I think you hate women and you might have some issues, but you don't strike me as mean. You're like very like outside of women in relationships. You're very jolly and happy.

No. He's nice. We had an incident at the Honey Baby I had to fix this one girl. Because she lost her mind. She lost her mind. Remember, you know that girl. Yeah, but I'm just saying

it's perception things be funny. Because we laugh about it. Yeah, it's funny. That is a big thing that we laugh at. Everybody's like, he's the mean. Everybody walks around me, like, I don't know. To approach him. I'm looking at people like, this niggis is the fucking mean.

But, like, I'll be chilling. and I was putting my weed. Y'all thought I was me. Before I said something to y'all, like, before y'all met me in real life. No, I was like, she's feisty. No, I didn't even, no. What happened?

I mean that in a good way. Oh, okay. I didn't think you were flirting or anything. It's just you're feisty. I thought about you. I'm going to be honest. I didn't know you from the other stuff, and I asked Hineken.

I said, who? I said TMC. I know your rest. Like, you do amazing work. And I'm not being funny. I just think that what attracted me to your style and what you do is you're really good at what you do. Yeah.

I don't know what it is. Some people... I'm going to tell you what it is. She's a real journalist. Some people... There's a lot of real journalists in the world. People think that this is like... All my friends get busy.

Like, they really... Like, I could call somebody and get... And reach people in places you're not supposed to reach them, depending on the topic matter, because all my friends really do this. But I think certain people just have sauce. That's my thing. You can't pinpoint it, right? I appreciate it.

And when it is you, I think you have it. And the other girl, I fuck with Gina views a lot. That's not it. I think Gina views. Y'all too, right now. She got a different type. And I didn't know about her. It was a dude from California that called her on the phone and was like, yo, y'all got to follow each other.

That's how I found it. It was before the head and stuff like that. DJ had, because that sounds crazy. You say it was before the head. I was like, that was before the DJ head show she has with him. Before effective immediately, shout out to Head, too. That's my goodness. Yeah, so the dude had put us in a touch and we follow us.

I started watching her. And I see what she's doing with the freestyle platform, but it's the sauce that's in it. It's whatever she's doing before the people push her out the way. It's the idea. It's the shirts that she has that kicks back to what she's doing. All of that is swagged me. All that is sauce. All that is different.

Everybody don't have that. You know what I'm saying? So that's what I look for. And I'm not big on. I don't really watch content. So I just see whatever catches my eye. You know what I'm saying? And those type of things catch my eye.

Well, I appreciate that. Well, y'all, we got it in the episode because our editors are going to be screaming at me. But it has been an amazing episode. Thank you. On the podcast. Y'all pop the studios cherry. Thank you. We appreciate the hospitality.

Usually when we do that, the numbers be going crazy. Crazy. I appreciate you guys for joining me. So listen, this has been another episode of the latest with Lauren LaRosa. I tell you guys all the time, my lowriders, at the end of the day, y'all could be anywhere with anybody having these conversations, talking about all these things, because there's always a lot to talk about,

but you guys are always right here with me, and I appreciate you guys for it. I'll catch you guys in my next episode.
