Just don't call it a podcast. The Ibrough-Lor-Rosenberg shows. Okay. The Ebro-L-L-R-R-R-R-N experience. That's right. It's a show. It's a Patreon. It's a family affair.

It's live. Experian. That's right. 844-E-L-R-E-L-R-3. I have to imagine Nix fans want to call and get some time today. So the line is just be there for you if you just need to... I don't know. pontificate,

coagulate. Oh, the last game was Friday, right? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Man, that was a game. Crazy game. And listen, let's talk about the things that people don't want to talk about. Nix did everything to lose that game.

And the refs tried to help the Spurs. Yo. It was, I mean, listen. The reason I say that is, is this whole thing has been so amazing. And I'm not, I'm truly not trying to troll Knicks fans. I've been so enjoying this. I'm here for it.

but what we can't do is act as if the Knicks have just crushed San Antonio in two straight games, right? These have been very close games. Game one was a pretty good shalacking, though, to come from behind. You know, they were down 13. That's what I mean, but they were down, they had to come back. Yeah. It kind of happened the same way in both games. It's just the Knicks ended up getting both, right?

Which, you know, I mean, I hear what you're saying. But fair enough, I think it's the point. The Knicks have kind of been that team. most of the season. These come from behind, got to work for it. Victories have been a thing for them. Yeah, no, for sure.

And this team, they've been in the playoffs, been their lights out. They're a different team than they even were in the regular season. I say all of this to say. Yeah. Why, in God's name,

would you do anything to mess with the mojo of this team and this fan base? Whoa. Like inviting the president? That's because of Jim Dolan, sir. Congratulations. You invited the president of the United States, which removed, even if we don't get into the politics of it all, you, bro.

Just the fact that the fans have been enjoying what they've been enjoying and now they've got to get there over two hours early on a work day with no can't bring a bag in the building. They're calling it straight up TSA screening. Because no way to enjoy an event more than adding some TSA screening. Well, you know what struck me the most too is just the sheer disconnect of this. invite to the individuals who can't even afford to be at the game, but want some sort of like, I want to be near the garden. I want to be outside. I need to experience this.

That's what hit me the heaviest, which I was like, wait a minute. So now y'all not going to have watch parties? But they are. They are having their watch parties. Apparently the watch party they've been doing right off 7th Avenue had already been off as of the Eastern Conference Finals. It was. And then they put it back.

Oh, wait, they did put it back? Yes. They put it back. Yeah. I need to get a straight answer. You guys are sure about it. They were showing them outside the arena watching when they were in San Antonio. They were outside.

Right off 7th Avenue. The place where I was doing my show from? Yes. So they did put it back. Oh, sorry. I thought I assumed it had been off and stayed off. No, they put it off. And then Mom Donnie was like, let's run it.

Let's go. Let's do it. Let's do it for the people. And now they had to cancel it. Now they've canceled it because your man wanted to invite Trump. You made, Cuomo. Yo, you made. You claves yourself.

See? So. All right. That's, yeah, that's even worse. So that, so these are, now look, maybe there, do we have any word they're going to do it? Maybe they move it over to radio city. No, they have a, they added a couple of really big ones. Yeah, I knew that, but there was like proximity.

People want to be around the garden, man. That's what I'm saying. Like, people want to elite, like, I couldn't afford to get in, but I went over by, I'm right here. I'm outside. I'm, I'm in proximity to the vibes. Yeah. I don't want to, you know what I'm saying? Yes, there's watch parties all over the city.

That's every bar is a watch party for that. The whole city's a watch party. But I mean that garden watch party was like. Bryant Park is pretty close. It's decent. It's cool. It's cool. It's cool.

But it's not right outside. No, it's not John Blaze. And so now you not only, you don't have the watch party outside. And it's still going to be craziness all around the garden because of security and police and all the present. So it's just, it's just so tone deaf. It's very risky. My office is right across from the interest of the garden. So I'm there every day.

All right. And, um, the. You know, they've had the barricades up, you know, blocking the street so that people stay on the sidewalk for, you know, the last couple of, I mean, hell, through the Eastern Conference finals. The vibes over there have been great. I don't know what they're going to be like today. I know. It's real. And after we finish the show, I'm ahead over there.

But, and I'll let y'all know in the morning with the vibes of life. But I'm just curious. It's completely whack. It's, and it's also just is, this is a dream. Knicks fans are in a dream state Like this doesn't make sense They've won 13 in a row Ebro, I bet everyone by the way

Dave Why'd you make a note to tell me? I've won a lot of money No, go Nix. No, it's crazy They've covered 12 out of 13 times I bet them every single night And they just keep covering

Timeout, time out, time on time What'd you say, Luke? He jigsit. Who me? I've been saying it. I've been saying after every game. I'm to keep betting the next. I'm going to keep betting the next.

Wait, what are you saying? You're saying you're going to bet the Spurs? Well, now that he said, Oh, but it's a jinx. I've been saying it's, no, the jigs is over. Shut up. Shut up, Blue. This has been a thing.

But I say all that to say, it's been a, it's been a, Ebro's a dream state for the fans. No, it's amazing guy. And now, but now you're adding this thing. Why are you doing this? Because there's some sort of favor tax. I can't help, but every time somebody. Oh, of course. There's some sort of rich billionaire.

Let me canoodle in. get some things. And they already, no, they've already been canoodling. Yeah, they've been canoodled. They've been spooning. Yeah, this spoonage has just happened. Yeah, they've been doing that. So yeah, that's whack. It's completely whack. And if you hope to see Trump get booed on television, I suspect we won't hear that.

They'll, you know, quell that audio, cover it with something. They're not going to let that fly. They need to, it's all about time. Social media will show you the real. But the booze, the boo state and how bad it will be. will vary, I think, depending on what's going on in the game. Meaning, they show him for the first time on the screen and the Knicks are already up 20

could be a different reaction than if somehow they're down 14 and they show Trump on the screen. Because some of these people, I don't care. We think everybody in there, oh, you love basketball. That's what I said. If you're looking at, you know, I'm going to tell you what I was so excited to talk about today. I have been so excited.

to talk about this historic moment in sports history what we're going to see tonight because I don't think we've ever seen anything like it. And maybe you know a comp. A team who hasn't won a championship in 50 years in the largest media market in the world. Well, now you, but now there can't be a comp. But that's what I'm saying. Once you add number one media. But that's an important, I think, component because of the coverage.

Like I think a lot of times. you know, when, when you see championships won in other cities, and there are a big deal. Like, they haven't won. It is a big deal. When you layer across the top, just the amount of coverage of city like New York gets from the people who live here, the media outlets who are here and the world that just covers New York City.

Like, it's a layer of excitement that you can't compare it to anything. No. When you go beyond the sports part of it, there's no comp. If you were, I would say, I would say Red Sox is a really big deal. I'd say Cubs really big deal. Huge. But also baseball is not as popular as basketball. Baseball's not as popular as basketball.

And you don't have a football comp, do you? Well, no, no. I mean, honestly, it would be like if the Jets. It would only be the Jets. The Jets would be the only thing. But the Jets don't unify the city. Right. The Jets are the city's more Giants fans, I'd say.

I'd say it's 60, 40 Giants fans. Yeah, yeah. The Knicks. The Mets would be a big deal. But not like this. Not like this. Again, they're four. 40% of the fans.

The Nets don't even, I love, we love the Barclos Center, love the Nets. And we're going to celebrate Brooklyn if they ever sniff it. But they don't even, they don't even register. Not. They don't register. It is the Nick City, that's it. All five boroughs, Knicks it. And I mean, and you have the location of the arena.

Right. No, there's no comp. That part, there's, I didn't know where you were going to go. That part. Because in terms of greatest runs, it's up there anyway. Yeah, it's not even sports talk. It's more of like a lifestyle cultural talk. It's crazy.

It's no. Yeah, I can't. So big. And I'm going to go back to what I wanted to start with today. Why would you risk it? Why would you? Why? Everything is set up for this to be the greatest dream of all time.

I had this thought the other day when I'm showing that they're showing like Charles Barkley and Shaq were like, this is incredible. I've never seen this many fans from another city just in the building after the game's over while they were doing inside the NBA. By the way, we also should pause and take a moment for how great. It was all very weird when the TNT thing ended and they went to a, ESPN. You know how dope it is now that the finals end and after Mike Breen finishes the call? It's then inside the NBA. Like, do you really celebrate how dope that is that? Wait, what?

We'll talk another combo for a what was awkward about the T&T close? Just it was kind of like weird because it ended it was sad and they didn't get that many games at first. They were like, oh, they're only doing X amount of games on ESPN. And it seemed like it was going to be sort of like, are they, are they really doing it? And then they've done the entire playoffs on ESPN. It's been awesome. So I'm just saying when you watch after the finals and you get to see inside the NBA. Fantastic. So they're saying, have you seen anything like this before? And I'm just like watching the Knicks fans like crying and, you know, all these celebrities

that are there. And I'm like, if this goes bad, this footage would end up as the most painful footage of all time. You cannot do it. You have to finish this off. No, it is. I'm not thinking about it. They haven't been crushing them like that.

The spurs are very good. Well, this is the, this is the upside, I believe. Ford Knicks. This is what I'm focused on. Brunson has not been able to Brunson his way through this. Yes, he's hit clutch shots, but it's not like he's, you know, averaging 30 points, 25 points. That's not what they're doing. It's not what they're doing. You also have, and I've told many people this, you have Mikhail Bridges who can step up and showed it in game two. You have that. You have a deeper team coming off the bench, right? Like you have a great rotation that the spurs don't really have like you guys have.

The only thing they have is Wimby, and Wimby has not been down in the paint, and it hasn't worked for them. And he may go down there tonight, but Mitchell Robinson and Kat are doing the work. Listen, I'll push the- And also, O-G, I mean, yes, OG in game one,

pops some threes in a row, amazing, obviously game two, dunked on Wemby, you know, muscled them in the paint, which everybody loved. But it's not like OG has been going off crazy. So there's a lot of head room for the Knicks to still go crazy. There are ways the Knicks could still play better and do other things.

I agree. I think they will win. I want to be clear. I think they will win. I think it will then probably be a sweep, which is absolutely insane. But then you're talking about they've won 15 in a row in the playoffs. Which is historic. Absolutely historic.

And I think that's some sort of tie of history. Well, right now they're second. Would 15 tie it? 15 would tie. 15 would tie. Which was the Warriors? Yes. The Warriors.

The Warriors of Kevin Durant. Right. The team that was so good. One of the greatest teams ever assembled. The team that was so good, they wanted to outlaw being able to make teams like that. I, by the way, so I think all of these things will happen. The only thing I'm cautioning and why I'm not trying to be a Debbie Downer, but I'm just pointing out why I hate the Trump thing is mess.

You don't want to mess with anything. I'm with you, right? It's too late. It's too late. But guess who messes with stuff? Exactly. Congratulations. James don't.

James Dolan constantly, historically, always. He hasn't been during this. It's been this whole thing of like he's laid off and Leon Rose and Worldwide West. They've put together this thing. They're just cooking. And then right now it's like, let's put Trump in the building. Let's make the fans, A, deal with the annoyingness of it. B, have to cancel an event outside.

C, have to have the booing, cheering. Well, that just shows you how these rich people just don't care about regular people. They are not in tune. well or are in tune and don't care right like we know Trump doesn't care never cares he wants to be hot he wants to be on the screen he loves being controversial and divisive but you would think that like season ticket holders CEOs that have all these you know hundreds of that y'all I'm told that tickets behind the scorers table I know somebody who has season tickets behind the scores table 200,000 that is not normal yes 200

So these people that have had these tickets, they make, I'd have to, who can pay that? A lot of people, Lou. There's a lot of rich people out here, Lou. If you didn't know, know it. There's a lot of rich, and by a lot, I mean, relative to the population of earth, not a lot. But there's a lot, and especially here in New York City. But I mean, how, Griff, who you, sorry, Rosenberg.

Who you got online, Griff? Let's get Ramon up We're in the Knicks vibe Bob we got you for your birthday Hang on bro Ramon Yes sir You're on ELR

844 ELR ELR 3 the phones is cracker lagging I'm glad we got them They've definitely served their purpose The last couple of weeks Now Ramon Talk to us about these Knicks baby Rosenberg

What's good Ease up ease up Ease up Ease up Nick baby I mean listen I'm with you I'm with you It's all let's go Nix. I'm with you.

I'm just a little, it freaked me out a little bit. That's all. I was like, why are we messing with this mojo? Don't mess with. Ramon, have you been a lifelong Knicks fan?

I don't want to say lifelong because my parents never were too much into sports. But as I matured and I got kids, I started to fall in love with the game and I love the Knicks. I'm from New York. There it is. Where you live now?

I live in Jersey. There it is. Ramon, we love you for us checking in on the ELR show, bro. Go, Nix. Yes, sir. I just want, go ahead. Go ahead. I just want to say, Wemby's a baby cry.

We can't put no intent to this weaner from the office going to the show. We got to keep the love up to New York, baby. We're here. That is. You called him a weiner. You don't get that every day. I want to say, and I've been telling a lot of anybody will hear me this. Obviously, I'm a Lakers fan.

I've always said, Nixon is my local team. I mean, yeah. You're a bad Lakers fan. I'm not a great fan of anything. No, you're really? I'm terrible. You're just a bad fan. Yeah, I'm a bad fan.

But you're a Lakers guy. Yeah. That's how I came up. Right. But. So I mentioned it last week. You weren't here. You know, Issa's grandfather was 17.

He's 70. So he was 17, 18. Yeah, that sounds right. Something like that when they won't last. Issa, watching Issa have this moment with her grandfather, fire. Right. I bet. That's forever.

That's forever. Fire, bro. Like, and the amount of friends that I have who've lost their parents. Mm-hmm. who watch the Knicks with them and have never in their life in their life. They're not 50 yet.

They're 46. They're 48, 49, have never had this. That's me and my dad. Griffin is that? Never had it. Like, I'm calling people like, y'all, I'm just checking in on you.

How you feeling? I know it does feel really unusual. I think that's the Now you can have a comp conversation So the Red Sox and the Cubs Right Those fan bases, those parents and kids watched every day

And you're like, yo we're having this now. You know what I mean? And I know it's hard for New Yorkers to hear about But the Red Sox part that extra magic Was along the way They first comeback ever from down 30 Against the Yankees Right

And then just mop the world's here So if you at that point were an old 70 year old man with your 40-year-old kid and your 12-year-old grand kid. So that's more of a comp. But yeah, when you add in the New York of it all. And it's also cool to see, you know what it's like? It would be like if the U.S. was amazing in World Cup this year. Okay.

Because the Knicks, New York being the underdog isn't a thing. New York is always the most braggadocious. We're the number one, number one, number one. This team's actually, and that's another reason I go back to the Trump. something like why do you have to invite him this is that one time where it feels like a lot of the country's rooting for new york because they got no connection to the spurs wemby is becoming a love him hate him kind of guy love him hate him oh it's it's becoming that it really he's a going to be the best player in the league not even a question about it it's already he may already

that it's in the conversation already oh his attitude which i love it's what makes him great to me like he's so not the friendly low key european He is like the shit talking, get into it. Got who, got who. He is going to be a, you love him or hate him. Listen, man, as much as he made mistakes in game two, and he's been, you know, set up to be the face of the NBA and all those things. I can't hate the kid, man.

No, no, I'm just saying it's going to happen in time. You heard the guy right now. The last guy who called had shit to talk about Wendy. When you're up against him and he's that good, and he complains, and he's talking trash, and he sends. his role players out to foul people like a henchman? No, he's going to be a heel. I like it.

I love it. Bro, I love him. I think he is, he is the league's wet dream, bro. They're about to wrap up everybody. LeBron's about to get wrapped up. You know, Steph got the Chinese. Sneaker now.

It's over. Once you get the sneak, once the Chinese sneaker deal's done, you're making, the podcast is coming with the wife. I'm pocket watching that sneaker deal. That different type of money, bro. No, you get in the bag.

How do you feel about, How do you feel about the slogan? Let's get clip 11 there, Rahsaan. How do you feel about the slogan? This is a beat of 250, and we're celebrating Black Music Month, a celebration of the legacy, creativity, and global influence of black music. Today, we honor Frankie Knuckles, the legendary godfather of house music. Frankie Knuckles helped transform black rhythm into a worldwide movement.

At Chicago's iconic White House Club, during the late 1970s and early 1980s, Frankie blended disco, soul, gospel, R&B, and electronic sounds into something entirely new. That sound became house music, joyful, spiritual, emotional, and free. House music was created by Black, Latino, and LGBTQ communities who turned the dance floor into a face for expression, connection, and liberation. What began in Chicago quickly traveled around the world, influencing club culture, pop music, dance music, and what we know is EDM. Frankie Knuckles was more than a DJ.

He was a visionary who changed music forever. During Black Music Month, we proudly celebrate his groundbreaking sound, influence, and lasting cultural legacy around the globe today. Black Music Month amplified voices is sponsored by AARP. I'm sorry? What are you throwing up here? Clip 11, the slogan. My mayor Muslim, my bagels Jewish, my Christian New York,

next day, boy. He said, my bagels Jewish? Yeah, yeah. It took me this time to understand it. You said it yesterday. I was like, I forget where I was in the car to come back from the airport. I watched like three times. What did he say is Jewish?

My bagels Jewish. My mayor's Muslim, my bagels Jewish. My Christian Dior. That doesn't make sense, no. But it does. I know you don't have. Run it again. Run it again.

No one has Christian Dior. He doesn't have Christian. His Christian is Dior. Right. Okay. Got it. Got it. My mayor Muslim.

My bagels Jewish. My Christian Dior. It's just a video. It's just perfect. No people are, you know people are running with this. No, they're actually. making it a saying? Yes. It doesn't make sense. But that doesn't matter.

I think, first of all, my Christian is Dior makes no sense. People love it. Is that like almost a pop smoke? Is it almost like playing it to Pots smoke a little bit? A little Christian Dior Dior? Whatever. Because what else? Whatever. What does it mean? People, I think, really love my mayor Muslim, my bagel Jewish.

Like, they love that because It feels unifying. It's, yes. It's unifying. It's such a New York thing. It's, you know what I mean? And it's just chaotic. It's... It's Knicks. It's Nick. It's Nick. It's Nick. It's Nix. It's New York. It's nice. That's great. We have some fan funding here, as they call it, the Super Chat. Lil Deontel says,

Nobody wants that Mucinx-06 minivan built Walrus at the game. Yo. Yeah, that was a great. Bonnie says, if the Knicks lose tonight, it will be due to Trump. That's right. Sheed says, Trump making this epic Knicks run about him is tragically on brand. Everything he touches turns to shit stay away from us that toxic negativity Eric motion says with Dolan who is historically a malignant character just to be generous inviting potus does that set up a white house visit pending a Nick win oh absolutely uh let's let's cross one bridge at time yeah and and there well I I suspect there will be next who

don't do it oh yeah for sure and then Medi says will that's will the teams take a knee today I don't think that's I don't think anyone's been taking a knee So I would say not tonight Where he'll be in a suite I assume Yeah he's not No

Wait Lou says no I think they're You're gonna try to be courtsized You think or you know I think he's gonna be courtside For what I heard He's not gonna be in the suite Where do you hear this Lou

What is your The news And what did they say specifically Other than Trump will be at the game No they haven't said that specifically So why are you going Since when ever Last night I read it.

That he would be courtside. That's what they're saying. Wait, you're hearing that tour sign? Yes, I've heard the same. It's in these streets. I would be shocked. I want to see it. Let's go to birthday, Bob on the line.

Bob, happy birthday, Bob. You laugh. Oh, we lost him? Bob, you there? He's not there. Or his line's not open. He's not talking. Sorry,

birthday, Bob. We tried. It's his birthday. It's your birthday, Bob. It's Kanye's birthday. We're focused on Bob. Enough. Enough.

We got Trump. We got Kanye. We can't. We can only do so much. These people just won't leave us alone. No. It's going to be a little while so we get out of this thing. Chris Osario says Trump wants to be Obama so bad.

Did Obama show up to any professional sports? Oh, yeah, yeah. Endeavors? Oh, for sure. Yeah. But I don't know. about finals. I'm not sure about finals. Definitely he hit all the games. He had all the local Washington games for sure. Okay. And then he'd hit other stuff periodically. Yeah. Big ones like this too.

That's what I'm saying. I don't know about finals or Super Bowls. Now remember, we're just days away also from the UFC White House extravaganza too. What he definitely never did was- When you say days, you mean weeks because isn't it July 4? No, it's not July 4. It's not? No. Why would that make sense? Because they said it was going to be there. It's a birthday, 250 years. Nah. What about when's Trump's birthday? I don't know. Obama was a court side at an all-star game. Yeah, he wasn't a sitting president.

It was 20, 2000. It was this year. So, no, I was talking about when he was president. Thanks, Ron. Hey, Ron. Hey, Ron Baskin. Thank you. You know you got Ron drops on there, by the way.

I do? Yeah, there's some Ron in there because that was a Ron drop right there. No, no. That's sass old, man. That's sass old. Used to be wrong. Okay, Ron. Let's get through the point.

That's the one. That's the one. We said, did Obama go to any big games like this? He said, well, he went to an All-Star game. When? This year. So no. The answer was just a short, no.

But wait, what's the date on UFC? Is it this week? It's this weekend, bro. They're hosting. Congratulations, you played yourself. They're hosting. Now, something similar to what Ron Baskin did happen last week. So the UFC is happening at the White House.

Correct. On the lawn. That's built an installation for it to tell you. That's right. And I asked Griff, have we ever done other interesting entertainment things at the White House? He brought me a list of like controversial moments at the White House. I'm looking at has there ever been some sort of boxing, ballet, wrestling? You know the answer.

You know the answer. I wasn't sure. No, the answer is no. What? Teddy Roosevelt had his dogs fight a bear. on the White House lawn Different times Similar

Similar honestly similar Now did they build Was it a spectator thing No cage No cage Was it no Were fans there Were fans there

Oh back then you could just roll up Oh God So you can just be at the gate Chilling I also like Let me just say the last To put a bow on this whole Knicks Trump thing

I don't even like how you did that What I would prefer you to say Put a bow on this whole Nick's conversation And the destroyer of Donald Trump. You said, Nick's Trump like it's the same.

I don't like it. I didn't mean it that way. I didn't mean it that way. To put a bow on the whole Trump, me not liking Trump going to the Knicks game thing. Yeah. Israel and Iran, that sees fires off.

Yeah, they're, they're shucking artillery at each other right now. So things are picking up in the middle of- And Trump tweeted, well, he didn't call. He's more professional than that. He truth.

He trothed and told him to stop their shit. So Trump's in the middle of a, This whole thing. There's just a lot going on to want to mix this up in the middle of Midtown Manhattan. Well, no, that's why they do want to do. He's, look, the news cycle is heavy with him right now. That's his thing. He loves the news cycle.

You got him, we'll get to the meet the press clip. Oh, yeah. Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump's Albanian endeavor. Oh, yeah, that's interesting. Where the Albanians are burnt down the president's house, and they're getting active out there. Yep. Then you have this Trump at the Knicks game. Trump with the UFC.

Yeah, walked on on the interview. What was the other thing? Was there another one this weekend? I don't know. I was so busy seeing how popular the U.S. was based on how they treat Americans in airports in Europe now. Congratulations. You played yourself. How'd you feel?

Did you put the video in that I said? This is, so real quick, we mentioned this on the show. I believe you were off, but you saw the video in the show. chat we showed the video on ELR last two weeks ago of those CNN women at an airport in Europe saying look at these lines if you're not an EU citizen they came up with a new thing to get your passport checked the EU line is mad fast the non-EU line essentially for world traveling which basically amounts to a ton of Americans if we're being honest about travel endless line endless we got to Milan bro we just survived 8th

hours with the baby on the plane you get to Milan you pull out this line it was like a roller coaster joint you know the one that keeps going exactly and you step into a room you think you there and there's more line in the room correct the only reason we lucked out is as we were getting to the zigzag after about an hour waiting we started to get to the zigzag natalie noticed them moving a family somewhere else with babies and she was like where are they going let's just follow and we just jumped with these other families and they'd opened one more lane and we jump we we They let us skip basically. They let a bunch of family only skip a big line.

We're leaving Rome now yesterday. We get to the airport something I never do, like three and a half hours before my flight because I just cannot imagine trying to hustle this baby through a bad situation. Not good. Not good. Very proud of myself up like five hours before my flight.

Got everyone ready. Let's go. This is what I saw when I got to the airport in Rome. This is insane. were cordoned off into a separate area for just the U.S. and Israeli flights. The U.S. and Israel segregation. Nah, it's crazy. The fact that it's just U.S. and Israel is crazy.

It looked nuts. I'm like, wait, that's, so that. But that's who we're linked up with. That's the squad. Exactly. That's our squad right there. That's basically all we got left. That's it.

So I just found it interesting. And the U.K. I mean, yeah. I went to London. then it was still smooth. They're still smooth. Because remember Brexit. Remember Brexit.

Oh, yeah, right. So they're on some weird. So, the UK and EU is different. Right. That's a different relationship than the rest of it. Yeah. And let me just tell you, man, bro. Have you been to Rome before?

No. Wait. Yeah. Obviously. I went to. No, Venice. It would have been to Venice. Venice.

Yo, moving around Rome for a couple days. The, the, you know how we always laugh at the idea of like greatest city in the world or greatest country in the world because A, it's absurd. And then B, just deciding that it happens to be the one that you're from. So it is absurd. But when you think about what a baby we are as a nation, when you're in a place like Rome, where they're talking about thousands of years ago? No, it's there, bro.

No, it's just there. No, like you're eating dinner and then you walk around the corner and some insane looking thing from thousands of years ago. that's incredibly impressive is there. And they have all this culture, like all the sort of Italian culture that's become cliched that we kind of joke about.

The real feel of Italian culture is really like that. Like you're like, wow, this is a, y'all have a whole thing that you've been doing for thousands of years. How do we even have the nerve to come out of our mouths saying greatest thing ever?

How? Congratulations. They've been doing this longer than you sway? Thousands of years. We're nothing, and we're kind of floundering right now. They're still, they're in the middle of what they've been doing. I'm not saying they haven't had bad moments. Of course, they have every place as.

But to see the overarching culture and feel and the whole thing, we're not in this conversation. Greece is in this conversation. Italy's in this conversation. Egypt's in this conference. There are places that have been doing this longer. China is in the combo. No, I think they might be millions of years. I'm not sure.

China is different, bro. So like it's... And by the way, a hundred years ago was having a tough, super tough time. And now when you talk about China, they're kicking our ass. They're communist. No, no, no.

They're kicking our ass in every way. You know it was glossed over when Trump and the whole executive world went to China just recently and like came back with no notes. So what do that mean? What was they?

People took it as like Trump basically just gave China, Taiwan and like cut a deal on some like, you know, because that's been the standoff. It's basically like China's like Taiwan's ours. Taiwan's like, no, we're not. And we want to be a part of NATO and we want to work with the U.S. And we want to be our own sovereign thing. And China's like absolutely not. You belong to us.

And the U.S. stays in the way and like 80% of the world's like chips. are made in Taiwan. So that's like the phone chips, etc. I think computer chip. I don't know if their phone, all the chips, except lays. Not lays and not. Well, no, all the ones that make you sick, we got that.

We got that. But so anyway, a lot of people interpreted it as like, it was so quiet when they came back from there. And so eerily positive that there was some sort of deal cut that, you know, is going to do a disservice to top. I want, basically. We would never do that. You know, that video you sent me on Instagram was fired.

I don't know if you didn't send it to the chat, though. Which one? The punk rock. Oh, my new favorite tune? Your new favorite song about America? We got to get that. You want to play that? That's great for the July 4th coming up.

Yeah, maybe we could debut it on the Patreon this week if you want, but it's a hell of a song. It's a good tune, man. It's a really good tune. Listen, Ebro's Algo comes through. Multiple people say, can somebody get Obama, a ticket court side come on that's what case he said let's not do guys he's not doing but first of all mom donnie's going to be in the building yeah but he's going to be up in the cheap seats mom donnie sits

in the 300s he said he bought his own ticket last time he's going with some friends this time he's a real fan he doesn't mind being in cheap seats by the way mom donnie was there in uh what was it uh game was that game what game was that game four of the eastern conference finals maybe i forget which one it was the last game yeah i think it was game three or game three is that right Um, it wasn't a big dust up. No, curfuffle. No, because he's there? Yeah.

He goes in like a regular person. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. It doesn't, it didn't have to be a negative positive. It didn't have to be nothing. I didn't even see a lot of social media about it. Only his. I don't think, and how would there be when he moved?

When the man looks like every other New Yorker, like in literally, and when I say that, I mean, every way, how he physically looks, how he dresses, carries himself. Like, he just goes. goes in with regular people, there's no big kerfowl to be had. Well, he's got a couple of, he's got a goons. He's got goons. But I feel like when he's in the seats, the goonsters off to the side, watching him and it's pretty low key.

That's not, you know. Well, I saw talk of like, you know, some rich dudes being like, yo, Mom Donnie and Trump, y'all stay away from the game, you know. And I was like, no, don't put this on Mom Down. It was Donnie Deutsch. I saw that clip. Oh, is that who that was? It was the, yeah, remember that?

No. He was like an old MSNBC guy, forget. Oh, God. Yeah, doing the, doing the, don't try to put them in. No, there you go. Don't do that. I'm Donnie Bennett, the games. Is a real fan.

It's a real fan. Look, Trump, he's from Queens. Got to assume he's a fan. No, he's allowed to like the Knicks, sure. He was in 99-94? Yeah, there you go. So he's been at finals before. But now's not the time.

But it's tough. It's tough. If you're a fan and he's been a supporter of the team, look, I don't like it. But no matter how you slice it and dice it, Trump is from Queens. It's hard. It is an awkward spot.

And even for Dolan, I'll even sympathize with Dolan. If Trump sent him a text. Like, y'all want to pull up. No, no, or even just say, congrats. This is incredible. I love, I'm so happy for you, Jim, congrats. Hmm.

Damn it. What do you do? You don't invite him? It's the president of the United States. And you're a rich guy who's doing rich guy stuff. And when he wasn't the president of the United States, he was there. He was there.

With you. So, like, while I know it's easy to villainize Dolan because he's made it easy over the years. He's been staying out of things. If you do look at it from a give him the benefit of the doubt kind of side, it's kind of awkward. Like, same way Mom Donnie plays the game with Trump. I get why he, and by the way, if they run into each other,

if that does happen. Don't shake hands. Oh, they'll be doing the dance. The dance will be done. We need dance. Mom Donnie will do the dance, folks. He's not going to try to talk trash. He's going to hit a little.

Hey, how you doing, buddy? Good to see you. Hey, one thing we can go. On both Knicks fans. How about that Jalen Bruns to them, all right? Talk to him. Talk to him. How you like this socialism?

So maybe, maybe, maybe Dola was in a tough spot. Ah, yeah. Are we doing the rundown today? I don't know. Is that how this show works? We've never had this experience. No, we did. We did the rundown when Laura was out.

We did? There's something you care about. I'm looking right now at some of the stories here. Okay. There's some stories. Griff gave us some easy stories. is if you wanted to hit a couple that's up to you all right there's also just other things we could do we haven't gotten to uh the trump storm out the temper tantrum with the meet the press

the scott pelly interview we haven't gotten to that 60 minutes um of course there was a mass shooting you know that barely makes news in america though that's just like where was this it's a saturday that was in oh wow 12 people were hit critically injuring too was it at an event or a supermarket or mall it was a historic festival oh got it and did they get the shooter? According to Louis, who's a great source here, yes. Oh, there's also the, or sorry, Griff, there is also Taylor Swift News, which ties in that sounds like rundown.

Sounds like rundown? Let's do it. That's time for the rundown. No, she does. It's not here. She'll be back tomorrow. Now we have the rundown with Rosenberg. All right, all right, great.

I'll start with Taylor Swift then. You got to start with the big names, right? There you go. Big Tatei. Sources are saying that it led to TMZ that between 1,200 people will show up at MSG on July 3rd to watch Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey get married. Now, MSG getting married at the garden. What's the... It says...

It doesn't sound fly. According to sources, the advantage of MSG are, there are not. there are no windows, no photographers can get pictures. There's also underground parking, and guests can enter and exit without crowds. Okay. I mean, it's a huge, I guess they could just build the wedding inside of the bowl. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what they're going to do.

They'll make it like a thing inside. It's not going to look like MSG. Right. It'll be probably curtained off, and it'll look like some fancy ballroom. No, it'll be beautiful. I'm sure. It'll be fancy schmancy. It doesn't sound.

No, it sounds weird. It sounds whack. Like if one of your friends was like, hey, we're getting married at the garden. You're either like a big Knicks fan, right? Which is like, yo, we get married at the garden. Like what other scenario would that be where you think that was fire? I've never heard of it. I'm sure it's happened.

It's a good question. Now, this is the story that I heard now that this when this came out. Because I didn't see the garden part, but that was just like, Taylor and Travis are making it official. Baby on the way. Baby on the way. And so they don't want to be seen? No.

Meaning like we got to make it official so that we can get to, because we can't have baby out of wedlock. No, that's nuts. That's nuts. That's not out of control. That maybe was old, Travis. Not this Travis. Well, that Taylor would never.

No. Shut what you can't. Never. Taylor? You know what that would do to the brain? Oh my God. A baby out of wetline? Oh, I'm disgusting.

So they say pretty, that was with the speculation, the talk, is that pretty quickly after this wedding. When's the wedding? July 3rd. So look how fast we're hearing about the wedding. Man, what kind of white haircut you think Travis going to have going to have going for this thing? You think he's going stash no beard or he's bringing the beard back? It's a great question.

Because stash no beard is a specific choice. And it's very white. It's very white. It's very white. It's very popular. Also, does he go like straight part, like... Part comb over? Yeah, like with the comb to the side.

Or does he go, if he goes no facial hair? No facial hair. At all. But what kind of hair would you do then? Because he's definitely not going baldy. No. That's old traves. The low cut with a beard is not happening.

That's old trap. We don't do that anymore. You're with Taylor. That was when you was dating black girls. When you had black girls, you had the black haircut. Now you get the white man haircut. Now that you're capable. Listen, I'm not going to, hey, if I was capable, maybe occasionally I would, I don't know what I

would do if I had hair. That's racist. These white men decisions when you just have like lush, I don't know if Travis's hair is lush. I think he can grow up. I think he's pretty lush, I think it is like. Pull up some recent Trabb Taylor photos.

Yeah, I think he can have like the full. No, I don't even know what I would do. I don't know what that would be like. So I wonder what he does. I think he goes some sort of some sort of back with products. So he's definitely not cosplay and ethnic is what you're saying.

No, it won't be beer. This like, that's racist. Now, question, is my beard look cosplaying ethnic? Yeah. Like, is this, is the baldie with this kind of cosplaying ethnic a little bit? It's become, in years past, it would be. Now it's a little, it's a little, you know, what is that, ubiquitous.

It's like, everybody. Well, you're bald, you have limited options. But look, when you used to get a lineup, lining up back in the day was, you was, oh, you was trying to get sauce. You was trying to have some swag just with a lineup. Because white people didn't. They didn't even know what a lineup was at the white barbershop. No, they'd be like, white people, the only line of when you get a haircut is when the neck, the neck hair gets so thick that it like starts to connect to the beard.

Then they're like, all right, we got to get the line back. You know white people always laugh? This is like a great cultural difference. Whenever I mention, I need to get a haircut today. If it's in front of black or Latin people, they say nothing. They go, oh, okay, word. White people go, Haircut, you're bald.

Every time. They don't understand what I could be needing to do, and they get a kick out of me needing a haircut. This is the beat of 250, and we're celebrating Black Music Month, a celebration of the legacy, creativity, and global influence of black music. Today we celebrate Big Mama Thornton,

a powerhouse whose voice helped shape blues, rhythm and blues, and rock and roll. Before a rock became a global sound, its roots lived in black music traditions born from struggle, survival, and spirit. Big Mama Thornton stood at the center of that evolution. In 1952, she recorded the original Hound Dog years before Elvis specially made it famous. Her version was raw, fearless, commanding, and full of attitude. Big Mama Thornton didn't just sing the blues. She lived them.

Her influence can still be heard through generations of artists from Little Richard and Tina Turner to Prince and Lenny Kravitz. Today during Black Music Month, we honor one of music's true pioneers and architects of American music. Black Music Month Amplified Voices is sponsored by AARP.

Because there's definitely white people. No, young young, I guess young people or people who have a beard also wouldn't. But if they're like, yeah, like, oh. 50 plus? Certainly 50 plus. It's a laugh. It's like a- Don and hon?

They're laughing at you? Alan. No, they both get it. They know it. They've been around me enough now to know I need it. And by the way, Don actually keeps this thing pretty tight. Yeah, yeah, yeah. For an older gray beard?

Yeah, yeah. But like, no, it's all the time. They don't get it. So to your point, yeah, back of the day, white people didn't even think about it. You was getting a lineup. Oh, you're trying to, oh, you think you black. Who are you white chocolate? Look.

So, yeah, Travis is going to go. He's going to go white cut for sure. Look, there he goes. Now, that's lush. And how recent are these picks? You can't trust Ron Baskin. That's recent, bro. That's the Super Bowl.

That looks like the Super Bowl two years ago. Oh, my. Yeah, that's the wedding. That's the wedding vibe. By the way, you remember when those sweaters were super in, though? The Boys to Men era sweater, the Perry Ellis. Those sweaters were big. Alex Vanderpore era?

Yeah. The VNAC. The VNAC. I don't ever play? The Argyll sweater. No, he's going to. He's going to super white. I might bring that back.

Yeah. It's a little hot right now, but you know, maybe for the fall, I'll bring back an Argy. By the way, but look at your jacket in here. In the studio, we keep it cool. You can wear winter gear in here all year long. That's the beauty. Well, now, this is, yo, let me tell you some. Spring.

Got this stuff on. You guys are going to see a lot of this Nike Tech. Why, you guys, it's a sale? There's a sale. I'm a lot of sale. Um, yo, but feel this material. Oh, yeah. What is that?

Velvet? No, but it's just like, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's light. It's not hot. No, that's nice. That's nice. It's not hot. No, it's cool. It's good at least, it's hot at 90.

It's good at least to 80. And then you're like, all right, let me take this off. And you have the pants too? Yeah, top and bottom. And I went and got some shorts. They had shorts on sale. Everything was like 30% off. That makes a big deal.

Crazy. Because it's, because full price is. Insane. Did I, did I tell you the, what is this velvet thing? No. What from coming to America? I don't know the joke. Of course you do. Everyone does. It's part of the culture. Did I tell you that when I went to my guy Barry Blaustein Shiva, his daughter told me that when they were making coming to America, he went to her pop pop, which is Barry's dad, I guess. And he's like, dad, what would an old Jewish man say to compliment someone else on their clothing? And her pop pop went, what is this velvet? And that's the origin. And now I was like, I told her, like, you guys, everyone says that now. You say ubiquitous. No one even knows what it's from when you're. say it. It's just built into what we say. What is this,

Velvet? It was just because someone's grandpa was like, yeah, that's what you said. I thought that was so funny to me. Because Velvet when it came out was so nice. What is? Another thing old Jews like to say, by the way, I don't know why this is true. If you're eating steak, you got to tell people, it was falling off the bone. When they say the meat is falling off the bone. Because that's from the brisket talk. That's big brisket talk. If it falls off the bone, that's how you know. But you know what? Black people say it too, though. Falling off the

bone? Yeah. You know, cook out. I mean, most of these things, smoke. Yo, anybody smoking some meat? Pause. Hey, yo. But it's falling off the bone. Yo, guys, one of our favorite shows is getting a spin-off. Oh, yeah. Snowfall.

Oh, I saw the trailer. You saw the trailer already? I saw a trailer on Hulu, yeah. I was watching Paradise with the wife, jazz yesterday. Oh, you're still finishing last season of Paradise. I'm on that. Yo, by the way. I can't get to TV shows.

We have a toddler. Does some of the songs in Paradise ever take you out? Yes. It's like why? Why did you do a cover of that song? You didn't need it. Why? Like it's a great show,

but when they do these silly covers of silly songs. So look, so I had to talk with a TV person because I was, you know, on friends and neighbors. Friends and neighbors. Yeah. Also, weird covers.

Yes, they do do weird covers also. Apparently. It's a cheaper thing to do? No. Well, no, I don't know if it's cheaper, but, In that particular case, the individual who wrote the show and is passionate about the show wanted those songs. So the people doing working on it was kind of like, and I think the same thing on Paradise.

You know, when there's people who work on the shows that think this is cool. Even the main song that they go back to. Another Day in Paradise by Phil Collins. It's a cheesy ass Phil Collins song. Oh, thing twice. It's just, but the remake, to remake an already cheesy song. So what do you want to use? Coolio?

What? Gangsters Paradise? Don't get me starting. Gases Paradise. Well, look, pastime Paradise, the original, Steve, you wanted to join. That would have been a good move. So anyways, yeah, Snowfall is coming back.

It's going to follow Wanda and Leon. Yeah. I thought Wanda and Leon we already knew we're getting their own show. Is this another show? No, I think this is it. This is it. Okay, got it. Didn't they go to Africa?

Yeah. Yes. It's about it's O'Gale Bean and Isaiah John. We've had them both on the show. That's right. It's going to follow them. That was the other show. Not this show. We got to add on this show. No. We have it on this show. We have not. It's, uh, anyways, so that's going to be cool. I didn't realize it was being sold as officially a, a spinoff, but it is. The drop, a snowfall saga. So they're really leaning into that. Mm-hmm. And lastly, you want to hit this, uh, Donald Trump? Meet the press.

Can we include this? Trump, meet the press interview in the rundown. Kristen Walker. Now, shout to the, it's Kristen Walker. Kristen Walker on this and holding the line and standing on business. She's done this with all. By the way, Kristen Walker, it's funny. She's not like super aggressive at all.

She just, but she sticks. She just doesn't get. These are the facts, buddy. And she just doesn't get bullied. She's gotten into with a bunch of people over the last year. And this, I think she flew out to, she said, like Indianapolis or Minnesota. to do this interview and this happened. You think it's appropriate that they have an election and five days later they're nowhere

close to pick it away. State and local officials acknowledge they are slow, they're urging. No, they're crooked. They're urging the votes to be counted quickly. That's how they vote in California. They're crooked, just like you're crooked, your press is crooked and meet the press is crooked. To be fair, I'm not crooked, but let's- Really? Well, you play right into their hands in.

Let's continue. You're either crooked or you're stupid. You play right into their hands with a strap. You know that these are not. that these elections are rigged. Your network knows that they're rigged. You know that I won an election in a landslide and I got 94% bad press. But Mr. President, you know why I got that? Because you have no credibility. But you've never presented evidence. Let's keep talking about, I want to talk about Todd Pucked. You have more evidence. There's more evidence than ever presented. Let's talk about your elections in this

country. We're like a third world country. Your elections are crooked. And you're You're a lot of America. And so is ABC and CBS and CNN. You're one-sided crooked network. So let's call it quits because I've had enough.

Thank you, darling. Have a good time. Mr. President, let's please, I traveled all the way to Wisconsin. I've traveled all, I know, I travel all the way to Wisconsin. On and off in the rain and I've given you enough time. You ought to straighten

out your press because you know what? A country can never be great with a dishonest. Listen, we traveled all the way. way to Wisconsin for the interview. I was more interested in seeing if he could stand up on his own and how he would look like him. It was tough.

Have you seen him ankles recently? Have I seen his ankles recently? I can't say I have. There's been a thing of people taking pictures of his feet not fitting in his shoes. No, I haven't seen that. Because of the amount of swelling, which you know, obviously hypertension. Ron, you hear that?

See, Ron. You got to watch out. We don't want you to have you looking like Trump out of it. You want us to do feet watch on Ron Baskin? Ankle watch. Anyways, that was your rundown if you want to put a ball on it. Oh, there you go. Intro for the outro. That didn't look good.

That didn't make any sense what you were saying. No. Good for her. I don't know if people have actually picked apart what he was just saying right now. Yeah, let's get into it. Your elections are your elections as if he doesn't live here or represent this nation. Mm-hmm. Then he said, I won in a landslide 94% after saying that the election.

are rigged. And then said, but I got bad press the entire time. What does one have to do with the other, sir? Yeah. So in his mind, what's left of it, something about coverage and how the elections go are in, supposed to be in sync. Right.

Wouldn't you think? That's what he said. I mean, that's what he's insinuating is I got, I won, and I got bad press. Oh, oh, oh. Go ahead, Luke. No, he's still talking about the one he lost. Because this started out.

He just said, I won, and I got bad press. He said I won, though, also. But this is, remember, this is coming off the January 6th conversation and the flush fund and things like that. So it's essentially him going back to the one he lost to Joe Biden. And that's the thing.

I won in the landslide. He still is fighting to say he won that election. And that's where all of them is. And that's what all of them. And that's, And that's certainly what she's responding to because she's saying there's no evidence. But still, you just won, though. But yeah, you won two out of three.

So you're saying all the elections are bad. What about the two that you won? Including the one against Kamala, which was historically close. It was like one of the closest elections ever. And some say it was tampered with. Correct. By, you know, Elon and other individuals. But this whole thing, this play, if it doesn't work out for the U.S.,

like this whole thing comes crashing down, word to Hulk Hogan's theme song, If it comes crashing down, this whole conversation he's been having about the elections are invalid will be a big part of it. Because it makes no sense. It's just casting doubt. It makes no sense. Elections are all bad. They're all bad. You're crooked.

They're all crooked. Everything's crooked. But you want, you and your people have been winning. You dominate both houses of Congress. You won two out of three elections. And you have the Supreme Court. And you have the Supreme Court. How?

And you're still saying everything's crooked. Right. So that means he knows eventually they're going to start losing them. Well, but they can fight. Also remember, remember every accusation is a confession. Right. When you're dealing with narcissists and these psychos, man,

you've got to remember every accusation is a confession. You have to. But what's the upside is all the money that they're made. But like is the upside? And the fact that they have made. so much money in this last 10 years that I mean the amount of billion the amount of people I know that have made so much money it's crazy people but but the only thing we got is each other bro the only thing we got is each other coming together like we've seen the Albanians

do and I'm not saying we're down for work like that I'm not saying it's time to go start burning stuff down. Some people would say it is. Yeah. But all you got is the pushback we're seeing at the at the at the voting houses. At the poll. That's it. And that's what this is about.

Casting doubt on all of it. That's what, because he knows they're going to lose. So he has to keep. Yeah, but casting doubt. Otherwise, what's the upside to this whole election thing specifically? These things have been investigated. And so you're either going to accept Look, there's a large swath of individuals

who will never believe that anything works in this country ever. Then there are individuals who make a lot of money to make sure that you continue to believe that so they can make money off you. So the more you distrust your systems, the more it makes it easy for them to shovel your tax dollars out the back door. And they're doing it right now.

And everybody knows it. So you got a couple of options. keep doing what you're doing, which hasn't been working, or try to actively participate in elect individuals that you can believe want to do a good job. Yeah. Because if you think you're going to get to the, we're going to like turn this thing upside down,

there's going to be more January 6th and all that. If you guys think that's the path, those of you that, you know, want to do that. Good luck to you. I don't think the people on the side of good. are really mostly built for that. The wiping dudo on the walls? They're not going to wipe doodoo on the walls kind of group.

So you probably want to vote. Because the picking up arms thing, I have a 16-month-old. And by the way, I tried to- What you mean? Like getting guns and going to the streets? Who are you shooting? They got drones.

Who are you shooting at? I was like I saw a headline the other day. It was like Cuba's government starts to arm civilians just in case. I know. Who you shooting at? I know. It's drones and robots and stuff.

Like who? That's why I've always had the argument against gun nuts when they try to get back into what the actual amendment is about. Well, I think, look, I'm a lover of guns. Lover? I like guns. The lover's strong. Lover, I'm not a lover. You're a lover of music, bro.

Yeah, yeah. I wouldn't say I love guns. You're fine. You're fine with guns. I'm fine with guns. There you go. But I want laws in place for people who are mentally unwell to not have them. And people who, you know, and also like red flag laws and things like that.

Like when people are doing crazy stuff by it, they can get their guns taken away. Right. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's a real thing. I'm just pointing out that the argument to always respond, we need these guns to fight back against the government as an argument doesn't play. Well, no, because they got guns, it's blow out your best. They, they. As Andre 3,000 once said.

Correct. Your guns ain't standing up to their. No, no. But, I mean, it's good for safety, you know, safety in your home. Yeah. Space Boy in our chat just wrote, lover of guns is crazy work. That's why I'm here, bro. I just try to keep people from saying some shit that I'm like, you sure, you want that?

Like, who are you? I mean, I do like guns. But I don't know, not that much. I'm not a lover. I'm not a lover. I'm not a collector. I don't have like multiple. Yo, do you know, I had Peter Guns on Validate Me last week?

Uh-huh. I heard about it. Did I saw clips. By the way, great interview. He was, he was. freaking great. If you haven't heard it, go listen to it. He's such an honest dude. Like, I mean, like, beyond the sex stuff.

Like, honest about aging as a rapper, talking about how whack it is to be famous and not rich. Like, just a really honest dude. You know, his name was like Pete Lover or something like that. I'm forgetting what it was, but Pete Lover or something like that. And when he caught the gun charge, his neighbor who was disappointed in him was like, you're not Pete Lover, you're Peter Guns.

And he said he went to Lord Tarek. was like, yo, Mr. So-and-so just said, I'm Peter Guns now. Lord Treak was like, that's fire. You beat him. And that became his name. Yo, go check it out if you didn't hear. And he told the story, because pun loved guns. When you said lover of guns, I thought a pun.

Yeah. Because pun was like a crazy, had mad guns. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, I think Ebro has a firearm. I don't know if he's a love. He's shot guns a couple times. He's not a lover. He's not on weekends.

Like, yo, Issa, we're going to train this. After football, we go shoot these guns. Well, when she's 12, we talked about. Did it? She wants to shoot a gun? No, she was absolutely terrified. So why did you? You wanted to learn.

You know, calm down, Malcolm. You got her out. You're going to take a class, is it? For one. She's not going to have a gun. Why do you want to take a gun? Because if, listen, if you're going to own a firearm, you want to make sure your household has gun safety training.

So what about jazz? Yes, she already taking class. She took it? Yes. Because you were like, we want to keep it? No, because, well, mostly her. Mostly her and her girl went and took a gun safety class. Got it, okay.

Yeah. Not because we're out here shooting guns. Got it. But just because if that's going to happen in your home, you need to make sure everybody understands what the hell is going on. Which is why when that table broke out of nowhere, listen. It was like John Rambo up in here.

No, that table breaking was crazy. I've talked to mad people about it. They were like that. I've never heard about it. And no one came back and said they'd heard of it. I mean, there's people who were like, you must have done this. Like I guess on tempered glass tables, if you missed the episode,

our tempered glass table in the dining room at 3 a.m., everyone asleep just explodes. Sounds like somebody just, Batman, just swung off the roof and kicked in the glass. That's what has to sound like, right? You know what I mean? Insane. That's insane. And so I guess if you crack the edge of a tempered glass table, that's the only, you know how like that's the only way it could actually break. So, for example, question for you.

The other day Natalie was bringing bear to my parents. They met off the turnpike somewhere. And a truck came off a rock came off a truck, smacked our windshield. Yikes. Created the little, like, big one, and it's spidering down. Yeah.

And so I just looked at it because I hadn't seen it. Yeah, it won't shatter. There's actually in the windshield, those are different. They actually have a material in the windshield that's like a gel. Keep it together. Material to make it. So it's spreading. I got to get replaced.

My guy at MB White Plains said they'll probably have to replace the whole thing. Yeah. But I don't have to worry about it just imploding. No. Got it. No. Because those, if you've ever seen a bad car accident. It could completely spider.

It could spider, yeah, completely. But it should never just fall in unless somebody like. Did something. But that happening in your house, bro, I'd have a heart attack if I just heard a sound like that. It was called. Did you feel the heart? Was your heart? I was out of the bed before I was at the door before I even asked questions.

Like at the door of the bedroom before I even like process like, whoa, whoa, whoa. I didn't even know the legs who still had it in them. Bruh. By the way, I realized this. I was like low, yo, now that I think about it, I was kind of like hips were low. Like you were ready. I was kind of, yo. I mean, how would you not be?

Your family's in the house. And you hear an insane sound. Salasi slept through the whole thing. Incredible. Could I have borrowed her on my way back from Italy yesterday? Because let me tell you didn't. Borrow my child? Let me tell you didn't sleep through the whole thing.

Well, no, you don't think Salasi would have slept through the whole thing. Bro, let me tell you what, Maya, she cried 50% of the flight. And by the way, it's seven hours to Milan. It was almost nine back from Rome. You know, it's slower going back. It's a little further. Whatever. This girl, bro, you give her her, the only thing she had with these European cookies

that we kind of used on the trip is like a little, like, calm down. We'd give her those and she'd be like, ah, I'd take the cookie. you'd be all happy for a minute finish she naped for two hours then the crying would come when I'd pick her up the second I picked her up waving to the whole plane smiling pointing I'm like these people don't like you're screaming and and you're a lunatic but then the second I pick her up she just wanted to be up see everyone oh bro so draining it was such a long that flight was so so so you give in and you walk You're going to walker up and down now?

I did some. I didn't do it constantly. I probably could have done more of the walking up and down there. Get ready, bro. Get ready. I'm gonna tell you right now. Because those coach aisles are so tight.

I'm hitting people as I walk by them. It's nasty work, bro. That's what you want the audience to think you was in coach? I wasn't coach. God is my witness. And I'll tell you one thing, these airlines are out of frigging control.

The way back was better because we were in the second row of the main coach. On the way there, we were like, almost in the back of the plane. I don't know why it's worse, but when you're in the middle of a section, it feels way worse.

You feel way tighter than being at the front of the section. My point is this. People spend a lot of money for those coach tickets. Those aren't cheap. Going to Italy. That's an expensive ticket, coach or not. Bro, I'm 5'8.

The seat in front of me was on my knees. I can't fit in them. You, like, can't do it. I can't do it. I have to, like, sit up straight and slide my lap. leg under the front seat or try to get an exit row and not lean back but so what do you so I mean I guess or get that very front coach you could do the middle one because with a little kid you can't do

exit well not a little little but you can do it with a toddler over two they over two yeah but but it's just it's but it's unreasonable and not only that when they come by with the cart where do they make these carts that only fit the exact width if God forbid a baby's finger was out when that cart came by bro there's no room it's just not reasonable bro they're not thinking about your baby don't care and they're not thinking about people over six to and they're not and they just want to squeeze as many people

yeah they're not thinking about that they're making money bro but they're not and then none of these airlines can make money I just get we we suck is that is that are they not making money sorry sorry are they it's not enough for the billionaires who need to collect more. And the stockholders who want to get more margins. More every time. Every quarter.

Every quarter need more. So it's not that they're not making money. They're not making enough money for them to say we earned more and more every quarter. Because then to do that, then that's stock price. Because I'll tell you what, I looked around. Those planes were very full. A lot of people still seem to spend their harder money traveling. And they got a good hustle going because they can keep crying.

We're not making money and get our tax dollars as a kickback. So the more they call. cry, we're not, we need subsidies, we need subsidies because we're doing a service for the American public. Oh, and there's no regulation on the way their pricing works. So they can adjust the price. Oh, it's a day before the flight. You heard me correct. Your tax dollars. So, yes, you work and pay taxes. Then you work and you still have to pay for a flight. But the companies that operate in the United States get government subsidies of your money to operate. So you're paying twice. So let me ask you.

question without getting your pocket and you haven't hauled the whole family to someplace very far not yet no are you going to go are you going to get four business seats it could cost you four business it would cost you 20 000 i'm going to buy a row or something but that's what i'm saying so that's what i did well i buy a row of of economy that's what i did i thought i'd be good it's terrible it's terrible you have the whole i've done it i've done it with easable and it and you didn't feel incredibly tight yes it's a nightmare it's not fun it's not good it's not Good. Natalie thinks I'm overusing the word nightmare. Now what I, now for your travel, work travel, you're getting your points, right?

Yeah, yeah, but I, the problem is I get points and I, and I've been gotten better. I've gotten some status at Delta. I've done better. Okay. The problem is, though, depending on where you're going and when you want to travel, like, I'm not as good at you as you are at being committed to United. Like, you're committed to United. Well, yeah, because it works for where I need to go. And it works because, exactly. You're going to the Bay and L.A. basically all the time.

Because I'm hitting all these different places. Sometimes the flights are so nasty like we took American to here. I don't want to fly American again. I really didn't enjoy the experience very much. American is bad bro. It was Delta's fire. Delta's fire. I'm going to keep it a hundred. You like Delta one? No, Delta one is five. No, no, but even even like just their whole points thing seems dope. United's good. It's very good. My number one's Delta. My number two is United. Right. very good. American, I know from people who that's what they have to use, they're like terrible. But you know what? It's called

American. And by the way, hit the button. That one. Because that's the brand you want? That's the brand. And it lines up. It's on brand right now. I am being corrected. Maya did not cry 50% of the time. Oh, uh-oh. Here's a thing about moms.

I know. No, but that-I-A-A-A-A-A-A-A. Maya did not cry. I'm right, 50% of the time. Keep in mind, this woman, this woman, the second the flight ends and we get up, she's apologizing to everyone around us. To the point that I'm like, babe, they don't care. Natalie. Why are you doing that?

She's a podcast. All right, this show's over. I'm so sorry. All right, let's wrap it up. She was, they're like, guys just got back from a family trip. He wants to, he's trying to ruin his whole week by what, just what are you doing right now? I'll just say she didn't. Why?

Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? I thought I was being helpful. She said the baby didn't cry 50% of the time. No, 15 maybe. And Natalie was a great mom.

Oh, no, Natalie crushed you. The best mom. She really did crush it. Oh, nailed it. I did okay this trip. It was not about you. I didn't do anything. Exactly.

Nothing. Hey, go Knicks. Have fun tonight, everyone. Yeah, man. Either way, we're on tomorrow. Listen, we will be here, ELR. I think they win. I'm betting them again.

We'll see y'all in the morning. Please like and subscribe and all the things. Shout to what is it, Danny from the Stop. And Ian Schwartzman. And there was a whole combo on Twitter about it. Man, I love y'all brothers, man. Y'all really showing us love with the promo, man. And I feel like we've been ingratiated into the Internet.

A little bit. In some way. More than I expected. You know what I mean? It's kind of cool, man. Appreciate y'all. See you tomorrow. Just don't call it a podcast.

This is a beat of 250, and we're celebrating Black Music Month, a celebration of the legacy. creativity, and global influence of black music. Today we honor Frankie Knuckles, the legendary godfather of house music. Frankie Knuckles helped transform black rhythm into a worldwide movement. At Chicago's iconic warehouse club, during the late 1970s and early 1980s, Frankie blended disco, soul, gospel, R&B, and electronic sounds into something entirely new. That sound became house music, joyful, spiritual, emotional, and free.

House music was created by black, Latino, and LGBTQ communities who turned the dance, floor into a space for expression, connection, and liberation. What began in Chicago quickly traveled around the world, influencing club culture, pop music, dance music, and what we know is EDM, Frankie Knuckles, with more than a DJ. He was a visionary who changed music forever. During Black Music Month, we proudly celebrate its groundbreaking sound, influence, and lasting cultural legacy around the globe today. Black Music Month Amplified Voices is sponsored by AARP.
