Yeah, and then there's like afternoon showers. We can get the, you know, maybe the down. Maybe we get the downpour. Maybe we just get the thunder. You mean on these two days? Yeah. And then Saturday, though, like high of 80 something and sunny. Immaculate.

All sun, they said. That's good. Something to look forward to. 844, ELR, ELR 3. Trying to figure out Nix fans, what are the vibes? What are the vibes? What are the vibes? I saw our buddy Kaz went up to MSG.

Burn some sage. Burn some sage. So obviously they felt there was a reset necessary. Listen, I'm not going to hold. I told you. I don't know if it was based on influencers who were intentionally rebel rousing. I don't know if it was just Spurs fans. Yo, once I watched one video of a Spurs fan getting attacked yesterday, because I only do Twitter when I'm at my radio station, yo, my whole timeline.

Bro, I saw so many disgusting fights two nights ago. I saw like two. Oh, bro, it's so many. I saw at least, I saw at least seven different, like, big kind of frockuses happening. Yeah. Well, so of the ones that I first saw, it was all like people speculating, of course, that they were not Spurs fans. They were people who put on Spurs jerseys for algorithmic entertainment. And said, we're going to go walk down the street and see what happens.

Yeah. And they found out what happened. Or they were in on it. Like, it looked like a raucas. And it was that's how I took it because some of them I was like is anything actually happening? Are they just tearing a jersey off a kid? Yeah, well, I saw that one too. You know what I mean?

Where it was like, never thrown. It was like nobody. And then there were somewhere it was like a standoff with the NYPD involved. And then I saw one where an old, an older black guy, maybe like slate 50s, 60 maybe was getting basically chased by a mob in his Spurs jersey. He did not give algorithm hustler energy. No, I saw that one. Gabe Unk is getting chased down the street. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I saw an older white guy just walking and then he was like, he looks, takes another look. And then starts running off. And they start going and they started going after him. And they catch up to him too. Yeah, it's hard to really get your hands around exactly what it was. But I will say it's one of the, it is one of the days, this is so me trolling the people who are already apt to get mad of me.

It is one of those days though when I truly sympathize with the police. I looked around to what the police's situation was, and I'm like, I don't know how you're expected to do what you need to do here. Like, this is going to be hard work. Well, for me. Only 21 arrests, which to me just says, Ebro, they could only arrest 21 because they were so outnumbered.

They couldn't even do the bad shit that they normally do because the numbers were too bad. You couldn't do it. You have to just, like, try to play a game of keeping people at bay. I think also, too, it was like, first of all, I don't think the numbers are too bad. So I don't. You don't think so? No, the police, the police have systems and ways to make sure that I've seen some things.

So if they really wanted to turn up, they could have. I don't think they really, I don't think that's what they really wanted. Like, I don't think they were really like, let's try to keep it. You guys are talking crazy and it feels like something could happen. And a lot of you are very young. You're all very young and this is going to turn into more than we need to. to turn into right now. We're trying to like...

Are you saying people actually do what they were supposed to do? Kept the temperature day. That's what I saw. You were actually giving more of the benefit of the doubt than I did. Yeah, I saw like, hey, this is a basketball game. People, what are we doing? And we're in New York and we know what happens. It's hot.

It's summertime. It's teenagers. They're all idiots and they're doing the things. Yeah. So there's that part of it. Then there's like my brain. I've been around so much sports violence in my life. Tell us about that.

this. We've been doing this 20 years. We didn't know you were a sports violence vet. Well, no, maybe not around, but seeing heard. Well, you're from the West Coast. Well, so Raiders game. The filth of the planet. Sandia charges. Yeah, I don't say that. Don't act like crazy things. I've been in things at Jets games where I'm just walking around and people want to get racial at a I'm sure. At a Jets. I'm sure. By the way, I'm here supporting the Jets. You're here supporting the Jets. Why are you being racist? Why are you yelling the N-word at it? For sure. God.

At a tailgate where we're eating chicken weight. But we're just not. What we're not going to do is pretend that anything's on that Dodger, Giant, Raider, Niners. Chargers. It's madness. But also Philly games. Let's not act like Philly games aren't crazy.

Listen, it's Philly. What? Filth. You know that's the word. They throw up on people. They intentionally throw up on people. What? We've seen it.

You never seen the, never. No. Yeah, yeah. I never want to see it. But anyway, I bring all of this up, right? To just, I bring all of this up to just capture the fact that so you would think that these things wouldn't happen and aren't supposed to happen. But they have been happening in and around sports for a while. And so people show up to New York City, a big tourist destination, or they live in New York City.

Look, if you live in New York City and you live in New York City and you, you live in New York City and you, you're, you know, you and you thought like I'm a show up to the garden with a spurs jersey on I want to hit you with no for sure backs backs back like if you're from here and you're like yeah tonight's tonight by the way I don't care where you're from if you did that congratulations no no no if you're a tourist to New York and you were like hey I'm going to travel to New York to support my spurs team and you're not knowing that yeah I've heard New York gets crazy but I'm be around the garden it's going to be like I'm going to just get on I'm going to go from my hotel to the garden I'm not going to be in it.

Sounds like everything you're saying spells that bud. Damn. That's it. But you wouldn't know. You were wrong. No, but you wouldn't think that I couldn't go to a city. Damn.

So now you're hearing it. That's the button. Yeah. That's how it works. Yeah. This doesn't sound like a good idea. Can I just? No,

but it, but that's my point. It should. You shouldn't be, you shouldn't feel like, and this is normal people. I always feel like this. But you shouldn't,

like I would never show up to another town wearing sports gear from the opposing team. I would never do it. But once again, I grew up in Northern California. So my mode is different. But a regular person doesn't think I have to be worried about real violence. Because I showed up to watch sports in another town. They shouldn't.

And if it were in December, because the Knicks played the Spurs three times this year, and if you showed, nothing would have happened. You know what I'm saying? But if you're paying attention to what's been going on, I probably would have said there's a lot of people outside. They look very young.

But here's my issue. And, oh, by the way, those of you wearing Spurs jersey, like the older man, you said they chased down the street. Take Jersey. Yeah, it's a fix. You should just took it off.

Take it off. Here, here. I have it. Matter of fact, I hate this team. Me too. I'm going to fight for the team. Like, what? I'll pretend anything. Well, I hate it.

Jews I hate why anything to get me out of the situation I'm doing but I will say this if you have a young person in your house between like 16 and 23 four and they're like not a big basketball fan and and they're just going out they're like yeah I'm just I'm gonna just go down around the city and you know they're kind of an asshole let's just be honest you know they're kind of an a hole some people are in denial about that kid fact tell them not to just just keep their ass at home. Like, I do wonder that. I understand the mob mentality and what it does to kids. But I just want to say, if I raise a child who were in that situation and were to just latch onto it and do this sort of filth, I'd be so friggin disappointed. Like, that is just sad. It's still just

trash, man. Like, we were, guys, we were all around craziness as teenagers. We all had moments. We're like, oh, it's going. It's on right now. And I venture to say that unless something were to have physically happened to us to draw us in. Even at 16 years old, we were like, ooh, man, they're doing some dumb-ass stuff right there. You know what I mean? Like, that is what your nature is. Like, I'm not going to be a part of this.

I'm not getting stabbed. No one thinks. I'm not going to rip a friggin sign out of the... Do you see that video where they kept trying to rip the sign? And then one young guy comes over. Is that in Bryant Park? Yeah, they're in Bryant Park and they're trying to rip us either a street sign or a lamp post. Was the sign?

A bus sign. Oh, so stupid. Walking the sign back and forth trying to rip it out of the ground and eventually another younger ish guy comes over and is like, yo guys, can we not just try to destroy our city right now? This dude, end up fighting like 10 people just because he was telling them, let's not destroy the city. But you do realize this is a city where people, they surf on train tops and they die. And they continue to do it and film themselves. Like so there's also just a history.

Well, there's also just part of the New York city thing that. that there are individuals that just want to do crazy is, go ahead, Lou, I bet I was going to transition into this MSG statement, but go ahead. Well, I was just going to say also, what's also adding to this is the streaming and clipping culture, which I think a lot of these kids are doing. They're just doing this stuff for the gram. Yeah, for the stream.

It's specifically, and it's making it worse. And it's specifically, it should be real. This isn't a diss to them. But it is the side talk culture. Yeah. The side talk video of, Don't you want to be with the next? That started a brand.

No, it's it that helped escalate a brand, bro. No, I don't blame side. No, no, they made a funny video. But there are idiots out there who are like, I want to Bing Bong and I want to do all this is. Yeah, but that's more Lou, what Lou is saying. If it wasn't side talk, it might be something else. It would have been, it would have already existed before that. But that moment, we can't pretend like that wasn't a big moment.

Because it was funny and entertaining, but don't look, can we also not. I'm not coming at side talk. I know, I know, but I guess I, this is my problem. Why are we acting like we haven't lived in this town for multiple decades and seen all of these crazy people existing. I've been at the Puerto Rican Day parade, which is this weekend. Seeing crazy-ish. I've been on Eastern Parkway.

I've seen crazy-ish. I just would be walking near Penn Station. And see craziness. But that doesn't make you cool or all right. I'm not saying that. Yesterday, two days ago, was a day of ruining it. It was a day of ruining it. So before Trump came and they made the no-fly zone or no walking zone.

whatever and put up gates and did all of this nonsense let we all saw are acting like it wasn't just the week before that they moved the watch party from the garden due to security issues over to radio city remember that happened that was that their actual logic at the time it was like yo this is chaotic we're gonna move this away from radio city away from the garden over to radio city to kind of like create some space then mom dani and and the garden and the garden and everybody was like, no, we figured out a ticketed, kind of controlled way to do this at the garden. But on right outside the garden, Laura,

they have the like parade barricades so that people can't spill into the streets and get run over by cars. Because people can't control himself. Guys, what team was it that won the chip and they had to grease the poles so people wouldn't? I was Philly. What do you think?

That's what I said. It's Philly. Oh, my God. Did they do that? They greased it. That wasn't the first time. That wasn't the only time. But I guess I'm feeling,

I'm feeling like we're acting like this behavior is abnormal. And what I'm saying is, as much as it's- They didn't win. That's the part. It was game three. That is unusual. It's usually game seven.

The city turns into animals. But when you agree, game three, it's two one, bro. Like, we got games to play. And I've been watching New Yorkers for the last several weeks on social media. And as you talk, yo, if they get it. get to the finals, man. We burn in the city. Declaring they're going to burn the city down, tear it up if we get there.

Yeah, no thing. They're fulfilling the prophecy. This is all stuff that has been articulated multiple times. I don't think we really disagree about anything. You're saying you're not surprised. I'm not surprised. I'm sitting here acting like, hey, believe what people are going to say they're going to do. Also, remember the city you're in.

You're in New York. Like, we all brag and joke about how crazy shit is. when she gets crazy, everybody goes, man, I mean, this is so great. Bro, we talk about how crazy New York is all the time. You're not wrong about that. And then when it gets crazy, we're all surprised. But we've all just been putting out this energy. Can it just be like still annoyed?

I'm just annoyed. I'm not surprised. I'm not like, I'm so disappointed. That's fine. You can you just party? Because someone try to get a girl's number at the game. Because someone like smoke a joint, but this game's fun. I'm a bum a cigarette.

I talked to this girl. What happened? Like, just be normal. Why do you want to break things? I just, the rage, the teenage rage. I didn't have the rage. I don't even think it's rage. It's just like, it's like,

it's like, uh, not Issa, Salasi. Solacio will put up blocks and just knock them down because it's gonna knock them down. Sollasi's two. That's literally what she's supposed to do. Right. And I'm saying, and the reason I made that comp is because some people haven't matured. They just like to break things.

Watch me break this window. I'm going to break this bottle. Watch me. 22. Yes. But that's the thing they're not all 15, Laura. That's exactly right. Some of them are definitely in their 20s.

No, 30s. 30s. I'm going to jump on the top of a taxi cab. I'm going to climb on the top of this awning and wave a flag. I'm going to. No, listen, my friend Chauncey, who's now a brilliant professor and my daughter's godfather and the best human alive, at 14 was an a-hole who wanted to say all kinds of curse in front of his parents and break things in the garage.

But then he turned like 16. And it was over and never happened. Some people don't. You just said the other day on the program, people mature at different pages. You just said that. You literally that came out your mouth the other day. And some just don't.

I know, I know. But I met babies. By the way, there's people who still scale buildings in the middle of the night and spray paint their name on walls. Yeah, well, social media makes that hot.

No, no, even before social media. Just because I want to get my name out there. I want people to see me. I want to be seen. Like, that's a, sorry. All right. So where are we at with tonight, though? What's the situation?

Let's watch. Let's look at the little statement. That's the most recent statement we had. Mayor, Mom, Donnie, and the police are basically saying that they're blocking off the area. Even regardless of, you know, everybody said it was Trump. It was this, it was that. Now they're keeping the play. But this is probably because they saw all of the chaos regardless of things trying to be calm.

So they were like, you know what, we've got to block off the whole area. What I don't like about it, the only, and what do I know, but what on the surface, what I don't like about it is that like those, the fences, those like metal fences. Well, I don't know if they're going to do that. But they say frozen zone. That's what I'm sure. That just means that they're not, you know how they use police to block.

Oh, so you think it'll just be blocks or blocked off by cops standing there. Maybe it's walkable. Maybe it's not. Maybe you can't gather around MSG. I don't know. Maybe they're playing by ear and see where things are at. No, I don't know. There's, police don't you do a play by ear.

Well, I don't. the other day though they told us you couldn't walk at four o'clock you wouldn't be able to go and i walked on 35th from between seventh and eighth i walked down to the train the ac e at 6th and i walk past cops but it was at 34th was the no i think it was 35th actually really and there were cops standing there but at that point it was 637 o'clock they still were letting people i don't know but but man and and also maybe they make these statements but they're you know still cool but they don't want people rushing into the area and it gives them a reason to shut things down if people go too crazy.

That's what I think too. Are they going back to Brian Park or no? I haven't seen anything. Mom Donnie talked about there being some planned ticketed MSG watch party opportunities. All right. Yeah, there's a few of those. So, you know,

I saw some Nike trucks around the garden yesterday. Shout to the Nike team. I got some Nick's merch for the family. but they had, they were like, had these little Nike Knicks things where people were just lined up for hours yesterday.

They were selling merch? Yeah, selling Nick's Nike merch. Around the garden. And you skipped the line? I didn't even get in. Skipping the line with me and I got in line. You made a phone call? No, I just walked up and I happened to news with people

and they were like, here, you want a couple, you want a shirt? Oh, that's nice. You just knew people who had the merch. Shout to holes. You know big holes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was running the truck. There's people we've known.

You know them to. They were to get to use them to. They were just running the truck. Yeah, they were the ones managing the whole situation. So you basically got the Ebro super VIP airport treatment at the Nike truck. Well, it's also, but it's also, I'm over there every day. So I know all the parking people. I know all the Amtrak police.

I know all of the, because I go to lunch. I'm walking over around the garden all the time. And it's just, you know, it's good to know Socarity. Security. Ebro's day just sounds like he's in an 80s sitcom. I know all the Amtrak police. Yeah. Hey, Sergeant Pop!

Yeah, what's up? Steve, what time's the 305 coming? 305? That's right. That's Ebro, walking around. That's my life now. You know what I mean? I just hang outside in New York and see people.

And now there's a big payoff. I got some merch. I got some merch. Big, huge payoff. Was it, like, a brunch and jersey shirt? Uh, no. Or was it a specific Nick shirt? One said, um, always Nick's 2026.

Okay. I think another one, I don't know what was on it. You got the first one. Issa? Uh, yeah, well, Issa got, no, these were for jazz, actually.

Why? Why? Because Issa got a half a shirt? No, no, why jazz getting a shirt? Because she's from Queens. She likes to name. She's sleepy time boboes.

There's no, there's no shirt. Let her have her shirt. What's asleep in? She used to watch this game. She's a new mom. I get, you know, yes. Let her sleep on a shirt.

Yo, tonight, I was like, yo, I'm going to, I'm going to watch party. Are you? You're going outside? I think I'm going to watch party. You know, it'll depend on I feel at 7 o'clock because I could get home for dinner.

I have dinner with the family and be like, yeah, I'm good. The problem, here's the problem. When she said those, she were like, okay, babe, go ahead. Yeah, she was like, what do you want for dinner? By the way, there's levels to these Queens girls and fraud. I mean, Natalie doesn't watch a game the entire regular season, and she's up screaming at the TV now. Fraud.

Love her. Fraud, okay? Shot notes, I call it DeShani, the Shawnee Way of basketball. Let us enjoy the moment. Fraud. But then Jazz took it to the next level with literally just went to bed. We never seen this before. I'm tired.

By the way, they're up seven. It was a thrilling second quarter. Good night. But by the way, not I think about it, even when we try to watch games, she's on her phone. She's not paying the table. She's like, babe, what happened? Oh, are they winning?

I'm like, TV's right there. You can see the score. The score. The score is the score. 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 power house, whose voice helped shape blues, rhythm in 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 Presley 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.

So here's the problem with the watch party, though. It's really fun, but the games are tipping around 845. Great, man. You're not, if you, we, We left, I'm gonna keep it real, we left and watched the final seven minutes at home. We left at the end of the third. Yeah.

Beat the traffic, so we got home in 20, watched on the phone in the car, made it home for the final seven. Yeah, I told some people I'll come, shout to my man set free. I made, put, he was up here on show. Oh, that's his guy, he has the gym. That's in Brooklyn? Yeah. So I'm gonna make that. Hit me with a buddy.

Hit me with a butt. Congratulations. Well, last night, last night I was out and about, I went and saw killing Castro. Oh, how was that? to I F Rivera, our guy, Omar, Pecos, René McLean. I'm so curious about it. Al Pacino was there. Ooh.

So cool. And, you know, it's, you know, the movie's great. You know the story, right? No. It's basically about when Fidel came to the United States and speak of the UN in 1960. Okay. And he couldn't get hotels. They wouldn't let him stay at any hotels in Manhattan.

And there was a black-owned hotel. It's Hotel Teresa, which is near the Apollo. on 125th Street, and they let him stay there. And it's basically a story about how the CIA was trying to kill him, and the FBI was just trying to monitor him, and he had a meeting with Malcolm X at the hotel. You know those pictures of Fidel and Malcolm X, which is a real thing.

And so that's what the movie's about. By the way, I'm not super familiar with that picture. You've never seen Fidel and Malcolm X? I'm going to tell you right now when I look it up. Yeah, look it up. Yeah. Oh, I'm so curious to see this. No, great movie, man.

Where can people watch it? Is Tribeca Film Festival going on? Not yet. I don't think so. Well, it was, this was like a Tribeca thing. Okay. So I saw it down at BMCC last night. I wonder if it's going to be, like, you know how it hits like the Angelicas, the independent movie theaters?

I don't know how this is rolling. All right. Oh, it's on now. Tribeca's popping. So there it goes. Because it definitely said Tribeca film and festival. Yeah. Yeah.

That's like, I don't really know this picture like that. That's cool. I want to watch this. So interestingly enough, and I'm glad you said that Rosenberg, one of the, I don't know this picture. One of the guys that is a producer on the film and had been working on the script and brought EFN after having it for or like working trying to get it done for like eight years. I heard him on stage talking about, you know, being from New York and not knowing this story. And I have been seeing this picture, like, feel like my entire life. Same.

And the guy that- Guys, I've watched a lot of Malcolm X stuff. I don't. This picture is not. I specifically remember Castro's visit in Harlem. Well, so what's interesting is the guy who... In fact, I think the movie's made up. This is like the space landing to me.

The guy who did the film, I'm sorry, I don't remember your name, sir, but... Well, it's already too late. Don't even say sorry anymore. He's hurt. You mean the actual director? He said he saw Colin Kaepernick wearing a t-shirt with that picture of Fidel on it. He was like, what is that? Then went and did research and was like, how come I don't know this story?

I'm from New York. This story needs to be told and then worked on the film. That's crazy. All right, I'm in good company. But I'm also from New York. But that's why I'm bringing it up is because it's like, you're not from New York and I didn't expect you

to know the story of this right here. Yeah, no, I've seen it now. I, I, I, and there's a couple others from this session. And so they recreate this in the film. The leather trench that Malcolm's wearing is pretty fine. And so, yeah, no, great film. Great film, great time.

And shout to our guy, Omar, who invited me. I wasn't going to an after party. No, no. But I saw a pet Goss and Gabi last night. Nice. and Lenny S. It was the cool kids party. I don't get invited to the kids party.

One day, though, I think about the time I turned 60, I'm going to get the other. It was like 200 people. Well, I know that's why I'm double not getting involved. It was journalists. It was like 70-year-old Tribeca film enthusiasts. It was that kind of crowd. It was like a real filmy film. Right.

And you who last week didn't know the word. What's the word? It was so obvious. I can't think of it. It's like movie. Yeah, but you act like you knew the word at the time where Riz was here. Of course. Cinemophile.

It was a cinephile. It was sinophile. The guy was acting like I knew the word? You were like, sinophile. I never heard that word in my life. You were off, right, Laura? Yeah. He never heard the term cinephile.

He was like, Rizzel was like, I'm a big cinefile or whatever. He was like, I'm sorry, I have to stop the interview. What do you mean? What is this? Cinefile. Rizzo was like, bong, bong, are you retarded? He didn't understand what he wrote. He was like, I'm very into movies.

No. Well, you couldn't remember it right now. So shut that. But by the way, speaking of movies What is it? A spoonful of chocolate. Rizzo, did you guys see it yet? No, that movie's fire, bro.

Really? I went to the thing after he was here. I went over and supported him at the Metro. Have you guys been to the Metro? No. So after we talked about it, I looked it up. And I actually thought about for something, I thought about us trying to go, but it looks awesome.

No, it was great. No, that whatever, where you get a bunch of friends and y'all get your room and eat dinner. You can spend like, it ends up costing a bit because you got to pay to rent the theater and then it's like per person for food. So it'll end up cost you. It's an end up being a night where you spend a couple hundred bucks a person. Okay.

But like this weekend, if we wanted to go see Michael, I could say, Ebro, bring the fam, you bring the fam, I bring the fam, we could get a theater for 12. We could have the kids there with us, not worry about them being loud, and it's our own theater for 12 with food. In Chelsea. Right here. Wow. And they have mad movies you can pick from. You can basically pick your movie and have the theater. That's cool.

And you get a couple different menus and they have a dope little bar. It's dope. It's out of real cool. No, it's very dope. But anyway, Rizz's movie, which is streaming now. And if you missed our combo, you can check that on the ELR page. And please subscribe. And if you missed it, well, that's why you missed it.

Because you want to subscribe. But definitely go check it. I want to see. I want to see it. It's a, it feels snuffy. Sorry? Violent snuff film like a snuff. It feels like a porn where they kill the girl.

That's what a snuff film is. I know, but it's got, that's what I said. It has some of that. Ebro has some of that energy. Hebrose has been loose this week. No, it has some of that energy. I didn't say porn. I just said snuffie.

Snuff is an illegal film where they kill the person. But you know how it has that texture? No, I've never watched a snuff film, Ebro. No, you've never seen that where they have, it's like the grainy, like it. I know what you're trying to say. I know what you're trying to say. It feels like, is it sort of like what Tarantino did with Grindhouse? Exactly that.

There you go. Let's go with that. Graham. But, yeah, so you feel it's very Tarantino. It has that feel. Well, Tarantino was a producer on it. Yes. But I don't want to give away too much.

Okay. Because I feel like that'll kind of ruin the whole thing. And I appreciate when Rizzea here. He didn't give away this couple of pieces. Really? There's some things in there that. Well, just the kind of underlying theme of the entire film. Okay.

Interesante. I'm interesting. Yeah. Interesting. Interesting. Don't, I'm, I have a question for you. Yeah. Why did Kwame catch as many strays as he did in hip-hop?

You mean what the fucking polka dot? No. I mean, yesterday I was having a little Neptune's kick at the gym. Mm-hmm. And I ended up on cross the border. How the hell the Phillies most wanted have the nerve to say, my hands held more bricks than Kwong. Touch more bricks than Kwamee.

You know, Philly's the most wanted said that. I don't even know why this is on top of your mind. Yeah, like, I'm more stuck on why is it? How did this even judge? We get here. Yesterday I thought about it. And I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. That's a cheap shot. That's a cheap shot. Like why? Chamee doesn't deserve that. No, and he had a great career. Like he continued to produce.

Oh, he had hits. Hits and produced his brother people. Yeah, no. So the Kwamee slander really starts with big. He just, you know what? And people are. week and they see and they just piled on someone cool said something it's like we can also make fun that's right you can pile but but sorry philly's most wanted you don't just get to say everything

loose that big he said before philly's most wanted wants to come on the show and have a sit down about you know they're already mad because there's all that the big philly list last week they're already like where the well and so before we have to have a full discussion about it we should all be happy that Rosenberg was listening to phillis most wanted what do you mean that's in your just that's in your rotation. I hadn't thought about it in a long time. That's such a weird Neptune's record. But all of it, all of this is helping Philly's most worried.

Excuse me, Luke. It came out 25 years ago. It doesn't matter. I was just paying it. Well, listen, here's the thing about, I didn't get to talk to you guys about Jay-Z. The illest thing about the Jay-Z Roots thing to me, my favorite part about it, was just that he leaned so hard into the Philly

part of it. Like, I never thought about the fact that the rock was completely Philly. Like, I never really processed like he really just put on Philly completely. Well, but I also thought too, so I've thought about this. I'm the other way. I've always been like that's interesting that he went so hard for Philly. Well, no, not interesting. Made sense because Philly has such dope MCs and is known for some of the dopest MCs.

Right. And when Hove was like, now I'm going to build out a thing, I'm going to go get the guys. And geographically speaking, I've always thought it was a fail. that New York, Philly, Boston aren't closer linked to create, like, inertia the same way like Atlanta and Miami or Houston and Atlanta click up. Yeah. To create a movement, like a geographical kind of movement. Particularly Philly and New York. But particularly, I always thought it was a fail.

It's like 90 minutes. Like Jersey, Philly, New York should always be collabing. Yeah, it was a very neat. But New York has a Bronx and Brooklyn can't even collab good enough. Right. Correct. You know what I'm saying? Like, you know, Harlem and Queens can't even click up good enough. Very different.

It felt really. I know, but I'm just saying like. No, listen, think about it. Two years ago, Freeway and Petey were doing a Wannette with me in Seif at the Roots Picnic in front of like 100 people. That's what he was doing at the Roots Picnic. Yeah. Both of them. And then this year they were on stage.

How many years ago? How many years ago? years. And then this year they were on stage. Listen, shout to Quest Love and Sean G. and everybody over there that has been on the Roots Picnic creation since, you know, forever Philly dudes that have made something

that even Jay-Z. And I think that's the other thing that with the Jay-Z thing down in Philly that I think is amazing, is when you create things for the right reasons and you maintain them for the real cultural reasons that you do them and they

sustain and they just become, like a part of culture like that's I love that you mean for the root you're talking about the for the roots picnic and the roots as a and then what about and then what about June 27th they have the big Nas show in LA right that I would have loved to get to go to it is funny by the way

that the roots and Nas literally have something big in LA like three weeks after the Roots and Jay Z do something really big and what's funny about him just Jay and Nas I mean you know there's just it's just funny that Nas is going to be doing literally his own huge thing with the

Roots in three weeks. I didn't look at it that way. Me neither. I didn't either until Jay came out and set the world on fire. And now I'm like, you're telling me, Nas isn't watching going, we do have to make some shit that people talk about after the show. It's not the roots picking. Yeah, but I, yeah, I don't.

You guys are no fun. Oh, we'll talk about Drake and Kendrick till I'm fucking dead. But I bring up Jay Z and Nas and everyone gets all like, oh, we don't want to bring these things up. No, I didn't say that. I just don't know what the thing is. I don't know what I'm talking about. They've already done songs together. No, they've worked together.

They've done concerts together. We've already declared a winner and a loser, and we've moved on. And you're, because they both happen to be performed with the roots, I'm supposed to have a debate with you about it. No, no, no debate. No, no, no debate. I'm just, if you guys believe in your mind that Nas wasn't watching the clips and thought, oh, that's pretty hard.

Well, that's why I think about making my, what am I going to do to make my shit super fire? You're crazy. Before you started yelling, what I was going to attempt to say was, I'm sure Nas has a competitive MC is trying to make a splash, for sure. He's trying to make anything. And if you think he's ever forgotten

or he's ever been... Who steps on stage or gets in front of a microphone and doesn't want to make a splash? Or like when you're one of the greatest MCs ever? When does that happen? Where is the moment that you sold tickets to something? You rehearsed and showed up and got on the microphone and you weren't trying to give it something

that people went home and talked to. Everyone does that. Everyone does that. You're correct. I don't know why we're acting like this is so such, sensitive topic well no because you started yelling at us because we weren't like no you wrote just all into a debate oh no you know there's no I pointed out is I went isn't that interesting that nods also as a as a roots thing this month you're like

why is that interesting are our jZ and nods affiliated in any way no it's I don't even set it up you made it seem like nah just like oh I'm I'm having a little fun I thought no I thought about it through the legs of mad people perform with with the roots as a as a backdrop like that's a thing no they do a couple they do like a few a year yeah Yeah, that's a thing. And this Nas one I knew about way longer than the J one. The Nasrutz one's been on the calendar for months and months and months. And by the way, first time I'm hearing about it didn't even know what was the thing.

Really? Well, I guess you're just saying into the live hip hop culture like that. You don't like a hip hop band. No, the flyer dropped a long. I thought I at the time thought, you know, that would be dope if we went out there because it's like a bit, it's multiple. What's it for? Is it the Hollywood? You didn't happen to find a flyer while we're talking about this.

Is it? I think it's Hollywood Ball Because I remember he I think me and you talked about it But I don't really remember Oh and then of course you want to add to it This thing that doesn't exist between Jayzy and Nas Jaze has also added his L.A. show

And Paris show And Paris show And Paris. Well the L.A. is Sofi Stadium right? Yeah So far, yeah You know that you gotta do stadium And Paris I have no idea what that venue is

Which also adds to the combo around Like is there music coming? because after you do three Yankee Stadium, you do Roots Picnic, three Yankee Stadium. Let's stop with the if. Let's stop. You're moving on to it. It's happening.

Yes, I truly believe it's happening. He's not, he's been private for so long, quiet, and all of a sudden now he's popping out. He's definitely dropping something. 100%. Yeah. But it's also like, you know, I think of it like parents, where it's kind of like your kids are going to school every day.

You ain't got nothing to do. So I'm going to get back outside. Could be. It's like me going to a watch party tonight Right, you just want to show everybody No, it's like, y'all gonna sleep Y'all gonna sleep, I'm sitting here twiddling my thumbs I might as well go and put out an album

And for the record, further record. Oh no, no, you got, no, you just sent me another This is another roots thing I believe. So, so he sent, Louis sent me the flyer for a great night in hip hop. Okay. Which reminds me of the terrible name I had for my first Peter Palooza,

which was like a night of real hip hop. at Best Buy Theater. August 29th, we could still do this. Okay. August 29th, where? Where? Shoreline amphitheater in Mountain View, California.

That's the Bay. And that's the Yale to you and me. That's like an hour 45 from San Francisco. Nah, you bro. A great night in hip hop with the roots, Nas and De La Sol. That's a good night. That's a great night in hip-knit.

No, it's unquestionably a great night. You know what, it's a great name. But I thought that there was a Roots Naz thing coming up. June in the end of June. All right. Well, I'm over this. You found that too?

Oh, damn, look at that lineup. Put it up on the screen. Roots, Naz, T.I. Bun B. De La. And that one's in SoCal. So you got one in Northern California, end of the summer. It sounds like the roots are doing a lot of things. So back to your whole thing about Jay and Nas and the roots again?

It's just interesting. I still find it. Why? Why? Because the Naz and Jay Z. Because the roots don't do a lot of shows with rappers. Nas and JZF history. Let's see if there's some one-upsmanship, if you will.

One-upsmanship. 844-E-L-R-E-L-R-3. We had some NICs calls, but they probably had to go to work. Yeah, they had to say. What were they saying? Well, just one way you want to talk about the people getting beat up. Okay. I mean, yeah.

You're not wrong. That was the biggest thing I heard of thought of all. Well, yeah, and definitely, I was singing, Rosembourg. you were talking about the multiple videos you saw or the people were talking about multiple videos. I saw videos that were the same thing from different angles.

That happened to me too. Sure. Because everybody had their phones out to catch the quality moment. I saw different looking people in most in I saw I saw three different looking people with Spurs jerseys. And then you saw other angles. And then I saw other angles of like kind of similar incidents.

Yeah, I don't, listen, who knows how bad it was I just know that when I know it's not good it's not good it's not what you want and when I went out when I was watching TV at the gym I looked up and I'm like this is the first time after a Knicks thing this year that I've seen it's like shitty coverage instead of positive and you know of course it's their first loss in 14 games also so there's just a lot of negative mojo and then of course you know Trump shut down the city to fall sleep to take a nap and spend millions of dollars and and small businesses over in that area that's right parking lots the

But the guys, one of parking lots that I used while I parked my car, he was like, yo, we usually make mad money. I asked him, I was like, how bad? He was like, we made $0. Yeah. So I came to work from Long Island, an hour and a half, 90 minutes, stood here because I was scheduled to be at work. And we couldn't park cars. I couldn't get tips. Stephen A brought this up when he went at Trump, when he responded to Trump yesterday.

Yeah. He was like, I think you're about business. You're shutting down the business around the, around MSG. Like, what happened to your care about that? All because you had to come to this game. Oh, here we got to come to this game. clip Stephen A. Talk about IQ. I could say I put my IQ up against yours any day of the week. I could go one better. I could ask you why you've been running for me the last year since I wanted

to talk to you. I could ask you to debate me since you think you that dude, okay? We can go a myriad of ways with all of this. But I'm not going to let you off the hook because none of that is important. I do appreciate the fact that you called me a nice guy because you don't tell anybody. But I actually am a very nice guy until you tug at me a little bit. Then after that, I got to show my other side. And my other side came out last night when I recognized that businesses that are accustomed to being patronized were compromised by you because you showed up. The crowd that surrounded the Madison Square Garden and its surrounding areas, you compromised. I thought you were about the economy.

I thought you were about helping New Yorkers because you love New York. I thought you were about making money for people. What happened to the parking garages? How much money did they make? What happened to the local restaurants in the immediate vicinity of Madison Square Garden? How much money did they make? We know you've made a lot of money. We know you keep making money.

But have the New York Knicks benefited? The answer to that would happen to be no. This is a sports show. So I won't go any further than that other than to say. Brunson played better when you weren't there. McKell Bridges played better when you weren't there, Josh. Carl Anthony Towns played better when you weren't there. Landry Shamet played better when you weren't there.

The crowd was festive, hyped, and more intimidating when you weren't there. Businesses were thriving before you showed up. Parking garages were being fed before you showed up. There was noise reverberating off the walls of Madison Square. garden before you showed up. All right. Well, I thought he was all about Trump. I don't think he, I'm not going to get into this whole thing.

He's never been all about Trump. It's, the, it's, the question is whether he's easy on Trump. Sure. I don't think he's all about Trump. I've never thought he was all about Trump. I think he said that he's, wants to vote for Newsom or Josh Shapiro. But. Okay.

Interesting. Interesting. I mean, listen, it's all nonsense. I just like seeing Trump, squirm a little bit. 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. 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 as EDM, Frankie Knuckles, with 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. Month Amplified Voices is sponsored by AARP.

844, ELR, ELR3. Griff, who you got? Let's get Chef Marcellus. Oh, and we also, oh, yo. What's up, Chef? How you doing? What up, Chef? What up, what up, Rosenberg, E, Brigham.

I've been on the program for day one, bro. Thanks, man. If you don't know, me and Chef Marcellus had to do some crazy things one day at like 3 o'clock in a month.

Yeah, no, you've always halfway told the story. I can't really tell those. I know. It's always this. I love, I got love, you all, man. No doubt. So what's going on? You want to talk Knicks?

Everything is everything, man. Hey, man, go Nick. Go Nick. I think we needed this loss. Oh. You know what I'm saying? We needed this loss so we could get more stronger and we can take the rest.

Nixen 5. Nix and 5. All right. Thank you. Nix and 5 games. So that means they will close out in San Antonio. Thanks, Marcellus for your call. Who's next, Griff?

You got Jordan. You got Jordan. That OKC fan? That's number one. Jordan, the OKC fan. Supporting Nick. Who's supporting the Knicks. Jordan, welcome back to the program.

Hey, how you doing? You see why I didn't wear my OKC gear outside? There you go. You're smart, man. Smart. Well, now, but here's the difference. It's not OKC's not in the finals. Nor are they playing the Knicks.

In this current climate, I would suggest not to do it. But generally speaking, nobody good. I'm not doing it in any climate. No, I think you're good, generally speaking. Thanks for your call, Jordan. Listen, can I just say one quick thing? course okay interesting interesting you there oh man now are we giving away tickets today mass appeal world cup opening concert June 12th the Billy Jean King Center and then we also have

a Father's Day prize pack courtesy of pure powers organic yo listen so um at the crib Laura you know how you talk about sea moss yeah and how you don't like the smell of seamoss yeah Me either. Yeah, very sensitive. If you are like one of these, you know, individuals like myself and Laura Stiles who keep like C-Maw, so you like, like, small. Hello, Griff, what's going on over there? Oh.

Or you keep, like, you know, body lotions and things from, like, small companies. I like to use small companies. So the one that we use at the crib is called Pure Powers. But anyway, they're in, like, Fort Lee, New Jersey, a friend of the family. And I asked them if they would give away some, some Father's Day stuff so we could, you know, do something for the dads. That's cool. I like this.

We know we have something for the mom. So we can give that away as well. How are we going to do it? How are we doing the giveaway? I don't know. We'll figure it out. We still got to do the rundown. We got to get to a guru this week.

We haven't got to a guru at all this one. If you hadn't brought up Philly's most wanted, we'd be on time. Laura, what have we got in the rundown? Let's go. Give me more song. Sorry, bro. Laura got the rundown, turn that up. Screen's on glow when she pulled up.

Headlines heavy, but we still come. Okay, I mean, we mentioned it, but yes, Jay-Z is celebrating his 30th anniversary of reasonable doubt in Paris and in Los Angeles this fall. So, of course, you guys, the Yankee Stadium shows are set to go down July 10th, 11th, and 12th. All right, and then he's going to continue the celebration in Paris at the State de France. I've never been to this stadium before. Neither have. And he's also going to, you know, he's hitting. The SoFi Stadium, October 23rd in Los Angeles.

Go, Hope. Get him. So it should be fine. More opportunities for everybody to see Hope. Yeah. People were complaining. They were like, only in New York. Yeah, this, he's doing a lot.

It's going to end up being a lot. It's going to be more and more. And he's going to be an album. And it's happening. I think if, I think Hope does runs in specific cities, not all cities. I don't see him. No, no, like a full tour. Yeah.

I don't see full tour. I see like, if you want to see them, you'll do multiple dates in London, man. Like, you know, like, you bigger tourist hubs. Maybe it'll end up being 20 or something in different places. I think that's probably correct also. I'm attempting, I believe, to go to the Friday in New York.

And then I, I'm going to say, I bought tickets to Saturday. I'm going to go Saturday, too. You guys go together? You're having a party without me? I didn't even know she was going to. No, Ricardo had tickets. But, yeah, well, we were going to have a party.

It would be without you. Thank you. Yeah, I was trying I hit up Michael K You'd be like yo can you I did the rare Can you help me buy tickets When people say that to me

I hate them and I think they're lying They're like hey can I get a hook up on WWE I'll pay And I'm like sure you'll pay But in this case I really meant it I'm like I don't know how to buy them And did Michael K hit you back Yeah he connected me with people

And I'm waiting It's people I knew already Turns out from the Yankees And I'm waiting to see if there's a link To just buy at face Yeah And then I don't know how bad face is Face is, I spend a lot of money, bro.

And how are your seats? I bought on the floor. That's why I spent a lot of money. You bought on the floor. Yeah, and I bought five. Five. Dang. Yeah, I'm not on the floor.

Was it Burke. And what we're talking about? Like a thousand a ticket? Yeah, it was a lot. It was a lot. They're pricey. I got to tell you, I love Hove. I love Beyonce.

I love Taylor. I don't, not really, but you get the idea of being nice. I'm disgusted by the ticket price thing. It is insane. I love you all. You all are greedy as hell. And I don't need to hear, well, ticket master is greedy. Okay, well, you're all greedy.

But what we're not going to act like is when Taylor Swift or Beyonce finishes a tour and they pocketed $300 million off the backs of fans who desperately needed, like they feel they need to go. What we're not going to pretend is like the artists aren't also greedy. Everyone is greedy. It's crazy. People continue to buy them and they continue to bring up the price. And again, as we always say, as you used to always say about the jet. or the Knicks at different points,

stop going. No one stops going. No one can stop going. Now I've got to try to buy these tickets. This is going to be their show. Like, no, I don't go to the other shows. I'm just going to go to this one. As somebody who's put together,

as put together events, yes, everyone's greed. Also, yes, everyone wants to make more money. Isn't that the same thing, those two the same things? Not always. Like there's, you know, there's some people who are like,

hey, I want to make a few dollars more. But start at the lowest price thing that you could buy at any event. What do you think it is? A hot dog? Sure. How much is that hot dog? $10.

Yeah. Okay? And how much did they get it for when they bought a shit ton of hot dogs to, you know what I'm saying? But that hot dog person who made the hot dog is selling it for more, so they're selling it for more.

Everything is more. That every level. Every place. Well, every single place needs to make more money than they made the last year and every and again and that's why the that's why the airline situation as we talked about sucks because it's not that they're not making money it's that their profit the the stockholders want to make more and so live nation is a publicly traded company and so let's go look at the at their stock price no i'm sure it's fine no it's actually i own

some live nation stock and uh let's see uh live nation is up sure they're uh oh man that they've jumped $4 today. Up $4. But they're down this week. Let's see how, let's year to date. Year to date, they're up $20 something. So they're doing a good job for their stockholder.

Yeah. With these, what concerts are out here in the marketplace that are doing well that are on sale for this holiday? You have to Chris and Usher. Yeah, that's a big one. Chris Usher, Hove.

Harry Styles. Harry Styles at the Garden. what he's doing, 30-some dates. Are any of the K-pops, the K-pop artists? The K-poppers. Who went back on sale? Ariana Grande. Ariana Grande.

Arianna Grande. So, yeah, they out here making some money. It's nasty, bro. I agree with you, Rosenberg. It's still nasty. It's just too much. It's nasty. All right, so, you know, we talked about it.

Watch parties are expected to return to Madison Square Garden for game form. And reports are saying that President Donald Trump will not attend Wednesday night's game because of scheduling conflicts. That's what they try. to go away. No, he wasn't coming again. Why would he, he already, he already got booed.

He got booed out of the building. He's not interested. And he sleeps better in his bed. That's it. Or in his chair. What was it better than? What was it better than the garden or my? And also, like what was the upside?

Like to your point, everything you just ran through, right? But then when Donald Trump shows up somewhere, it's a marketing stunt. Right? Like it's a, it's to, it's to create a narrative for his. his sycophants and, you know, that whole movement. What came out of that that they could use? Nothing. I don't see how you could have viewed it as good by any metric.

So we, even Republicans, Trump supporters in New York did not love it. So why would I be going back? I don't get it. Anyway, this was like, I saw a cute clip of this, but Long Beach Award Snoop Dogg the key to the city. So he had his whole family, you know, hometown hero. I mean, that's as his overdue as anything ever. That's what I said.

I was like, well, this hasn't happened to me. It sounds like we should be upset that it just happened. Yeah, I'm pissed off. Snoop just got the key to Long Beach. He is Long Beach. He is Long Beach, but I thought it was really cool. Well, speaking of Long Beach, I want to shout out for Vince Staples, man. I love that new Vince Staples album.

That's right up my alley. It's called Cry Baby. So if you want some alternative rock slash hip hop with a political, lyrical lean, you know, that's up my alley. I love it. I love it. I love it. And you know, Long Beach, the reason,

the other thing that clicked in my mind is, Long Beach has a long history of like punk, you know, like a punk scene, strong punk scene. So shout to that. Very cool. That's the rundown. There it is. Intro is the outro. No, it's not because you put your charge room.

You're disgracing yourself. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Sorry, sorry. You guys want to get straight to the guru? We have to. We have to. We have to. Hey, yo, it's time for the gurus.

Rosenberg. You know you are a beautiful queen. Ebro, don't ever play yourself. You're not a guru. The original gurus at gmail.com. The original gurus at gmail.com. Where the gurus unite to shine the light. That's right.

That's right. Burn the sage. Zen. Zen. All right, Rosenberg. Who's writing to us? Who needs our help? Well, probably a lot of people,

because we don't really do the gurus that often. We're trying our best to. The original gurus at gmail.com. original gurus at gmail.com, your destination for clarity. Gurus have been with my boyfriend for eight years. We both came into the relationship with children. Okay. He has a 10-year-old daughter and I have four children.

Whoa. Two adult children and two younger kids who are 13 and 11. We've built a life together and I genuinely love him, but lately I'm struggling with whether this relationship's emotionally fulfilling for me or if I'm holding on to potential instead of reality. About two and a half, three years in, I found out he had been cheating and talking to multiple. other women online.

We worked through it and stayed together, but the insecurity from that never fully left me. Even now, most of his social media seems filled with women, many of them single, and it still bothers me. Anytime I try to bring up my feelings, he becomes dismissive or changes the subject. Oh, he's playing in your face, by the way.

Lady, just letting go. It makes me feel like my feelings are inconvenient to him. Another issue is that I feel disconnected from him emotionally. I'm someone who likes to talk about goals, the future, and building a life together, for example. I've talked about wanting to buy a second home as an investment property so we can create more income and stability for the future, but he doesn't seem interested or engaged in those conversations at all. Sometimes I wonder if it's because we're not married, so he doesn't see it as our future. Financial stability has also been on my mind. He works in HVAC and changes jobs frequently.

I understand the industry can be difficult. It still makes me uneasy. The intimacy side of our relationship has changed too. We barely have sex anymore. and even outside of that, I don't feel emotionally desired. I feel like the only time he touches me is when he wants sex, not affection or closeness. I miss intimacy that feels loving. So my question is, after eight years, am I wasting my time trying to keep working on this relationship, or is this just a rough stage that long-term couples go through? How do you know the difference between someone loving you quietly versus someone no longer putting an effort?

And at what point do you stop asking someone to meet your emotional needs? Oh, man, that's sad. This is, this is, this is, some of this is beyond what we're able to feel here because, like, we're just not. I don't know if you guys know, we're not real experts or doctors or anything. We're just a couple of yo-yo's on the radio. I think her questions we can answer. Go ahead. Like, how do you know?

Yeah. You have a conversation. You start trying to really have talks about, like, what people are actually feeling and, you know. Certainly a good start. And then you also probably need to look in the mirror, like in the line where she says, I miss. what did she say the affection that's not tied to sex

I'm paraphrasing but she said it better was that in the relationship or were you confusing sex and affection for a while and now you've mature

and you want something deeper and more meaningful because that happens too people are being in relationships and they're having great sex and they're having fun and they're doing all these things right

and then as the relationship matures you know someone goes you know, we don't hold hands anymore and someone else goes... I'm gonna keep it a bug. I'd wrap this up. Like my man on the internet says. But how long they've been together?

Eight years, eight years. It's not gonna be a quick wrap up. No, it's gonna be difficult, but to Rosenberg's point, when you were reading that, like even the whole cheating thing and her trying to talk about it, yeah, he's playing at her face.

Ladies, if your man got caught cheating and he's still got mad single women on his social, he doesn't give an F about you. By the way, multiple times, multiple times, she said. He's been caught multiple times cheating, and his social is still filled with single women. He doesn't care about your feelings. He wants to get his joint wet, all right?

He doesn't care. And when she brings it up, he dismisses her. Bro, he's probably still cheating. He doesn't sound like a great guy. And on top of that, he's an unstable HVAC who you can't rely on. Hey, don't issue on HVAC. I said unstable, HVAC. Why is he unstable?

Because she said unstable. But what does that mean? She said he's changing jobs every few months. and it makes her feel uneasy. Yeah, but HVAC guys get mad working to something. But right now, he's not generalizing all HVAC guys. You just talking about this specific one.

I'm wondering. She said, I don't know why you checked out for like seven seconds in the middle of the email. She just said he specifically is always switching jobs and it's making her feel uneasy and insecure. So I don't know. It's no shots at HVACs.

We love the HVAC. I'm sure it's a very good business too. They make good money. I'm sure. But unstable is unstable. and doesn't make women generally feel secure in America. When you, I can't speak for everywhere in the world, but in America,

you're the man in the relationship being super unstable in his work life creates massive problems. As big a problem as anything else could cause. So you're talking about the cheating as massive as a problem as there can be. Lack of stability financially work-wise. These are two big problems. So they should wrap it up, but, you know, I still put it back to her. I'm not quite sure.

Having a conversation, you're saying. No, I don't, I'm not quite. sure and everything that she told us that it wasn't always like this. And this goes back to the next thing. This goes back to our niche conversation earlier. Ebro always defers back to, but it's always like this. Well, no, not. That's not good.

No, no, not in a good way, but like in her own, her own accountability kind of way. Like, so this doesn't happen again. If you're going to dead this. Sure. You still have to look in the mirror and go, how did I get here? And are you going to pick another one that's the same thing? Exactly. That's a good point.

Ebro is right. You need to have a conversation. And if he won't even give you a serious conversation, that is the conversation. that is the conversation. Yeah, that is. See what I'm saying? Yeah, I just, I think they agree each other. Eight years is a long time.

They did a lot. They got kids? They have their own kids. Yeah. So I said, maybe a, you can, yeah, I think, yeah, I don't think this relationship is for you anymore. But it's ultimately up to you. You got to decide, but I just, everything that you gave us, it just doesn't sound good. So, I don't know.

I personally think that this relationship is not for you anymore. That's what I think we're at. And they need to have a conversation. So see the gurus. There it is. On the outro, I got some Knicks pieces I want to show. Well, and you have to give things away. 844, ELR, ELR 3.
