The Ebro, Laura Rosenberg show.
Hey.
Oh, good morning, famelam, bam.
Man, oh man.
It was a close one today, Laura.
It was a close one.
What happened?
Your boy was out of the house last night on a Monday.
And it almost cost me this morning.
Doing what?
I was that, where was that?
I was at Jalen Brunson's party last night
Oh my God
Oh, is that what it was?
Yeah, that's why I ended up
But I am, let me tell you something
Washed a Losh.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh my God, that's so fire.
It was, um...
What can you tell us?
It was a rare, rare moment
where Peter Rosenberg said, you know what?
I need to be outside.
Um, what happened?
Here's what happened.
I'll tell you the story.
How come you didn't invite me?
you asked because I was an invite because I was an invite you were somebody else's
yeah no this wasn't just to be clear this wasn't me pulling a little I won't name any names
just low key sneak a leak to the coolest party but don't tell anyone this was I got asked
to go and so I was like okay so basically long story short I reached out to a friend of mine last
night about validate me my good friend Skyler Aston who's a good friend of mine who is most
famous for being one of the stars of
pitch perfect. That was like his big
claim to fame, but he's done mad stuff
ever since then. Great guy,
big wrestling fan, him and I've been friends for a long
time. Him and Dip are extremely
close, and him and I are very, very cool.
So I had him up about to invalidate me
one day yesterday, randomly sent him a voice note.
We had like DM'd last weekend
because I saw he went to the game
in San Antonio. He's
always at MSG, always
seeing the national anthem, always doing
Nick stuff. So I just congratulated
the other day, blah, blah.
Anyways, life is just weird.
So yesterday I hit him up with the thing about validate me.
And then, like, an hour later, he hits me up and is like, yo, you want to go to Jalen Brunson's party
tonight?
My wife can't go.
I was like, I normally would just be like it's Monday night.
It's too much.
But I decided, Laura, this is not something you even, like, think about.
You have to be at this.
So I went through and it was a little,
it was a relatively low-key party.
Relatively, it started out more low-key
and got like less low-key as time went on.
Okay.
But yes, they were all there.
I didn't see McHale Bridges, I don't think,
but I saw everybody else in the building.
Spin King was in their DJing.
Okay.
Another heavy hitter was in their DJing.
And listen, I'm fascinated by getting to be in situations
with people when they're having the moment of their life.
Right, right, right.
I always think it's just a fun thing to observe the vibe.
And it was a cool-ass vibe.
And they're what you, they're like just what you think.
So you got to chat with any of the players?
I chatted with Brunson and Josh Hart.
And my boy was hanging with OG a bunch.
I didn't really talk much with him.
But Mitch was in there.
They were all in there and all being lovely and very around.
And, nah, it was dope, bro.
I love this.
Jalen Brunson is so extremely polite.
and kind, even in the moment of having just the most insane, glorious moment, just what
would you expect?
Did you invite them to the program?
Let me see.
Did he?
Did he?
Trying to find if there's an appropriate.
Did you invite them to come on our show?
No, no, I didn't have.
I had two seconds.
You know what kind of bitch move that would have been to be like, thanks.
I know I'm the media guy.
First of all, people are already averse to having the media guy.
at their party.
Yes.
Yes.
And that is a thing, guys,
because some people are like,
I don't know what it is.
You think that we're like sitting there.
What do you mean?
You don't know what it is.
Yes.
But I think that for some people,
there's some people who do that.
And I think that there's some people
have different relationships.
For sure, but I don't have.
Yeah, you're 100% right.
And to your point, though,
I don't have the relationship.
Like, I don't know them.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I'm not, you know,
I assume in a situation like that,
while I know,
I know I downplay myself
and a lot of times,
people like you know 30 year old people kind of grew up watching me on the internet doing different
things and they may have good feelings on me they may have not good feelings on me I don't know
but what I'm not going to do is when I see them for two seconds like yo what's up with the interview
that's not hey nice to meet you know I'm all for interview exactly no I'm doing things right now
currently like you know DMing Miss Rachel that's the stuff that I'm working yeah yeah yeah
yeah but not at the best night I said I just yo I'll be honest it's rare that I'm at like a law
for words with people.
The moment is so big that they're having,
it's almost hard to think of what to say
that's not generic.
Right, right, right, right, right.
Yo, congrats.
You know, I told Josh Hart, I was like, bro, listen.
I said, I'm not even a Knicks fan.
I'm a commander's fan,
because he's a huge commander's fan.
And I was like, but I will tell you,
the role that you've played on this team,
like you are such a forever New York guy
because of like what you brought to this team.
And I'll, you know, but then after that,
Yeah, he's heard that a million times.
So I'm like, what do you think?
You think Jaden's going to have a good season?
And I'm like, that's it, small talk.
I literally, and I had a quick conversation with Jalen in which I asked him if he's going to come to Saturday night's main event because W.W.E. is here in July.
Honestly, even that, I truthfully would have been fine not having the conversation and even bothering people, except for the fact that how are you going to tell the story if you go to the shit?
And they're like, so what was Jailen Brunster?
I didn't say anything.
I just had to say something for that.
the purpose of the story. For this moment right now, I had to say something so I could say I said
something. I love it. But no, it was totally good vibe. That's so cool. Shout out to the Knicks.
Very, very cool. Shout to my boy, Skylar Aston. I'll tell you what, fever pitch all these years later.
That thing, people still come up to him and like start gushing. And meanwhile, by the way, him and I have
been boys for years. Never seen fever pitch. I've never seen fever pitch either. It is like a very specific
cultural thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know who I need to ask about fever pitch.
Griff, Griff, you ever see fever pitch?
You mean pitch perfect?
I mean pitch perfect?
Oh my God.
I called it fever pitch.
Because I'm thinking about Jimmy Fallon because I'm thinking of the team on.
I don't know what you're talking about.
No, pitch perfect.
Hold on, fever pitch by the way is a movie.
It's Jimmy Fallon's and Drew Barrymore's movie.
Okay, I have not seen it.
And I have not seen pitch perfect.
By the way, Griff, why didn't you weigh in sooner, my jeep?
I'm giving the whole goddamn story about my friend.
Now if he hears it, I'm an a-hole.
I'm dead.
Oh, I just got it wrong now?
I'm dead.
Oh, I did?
All right, thank God.
All right, but the question is, Greg, have you seen?
You know, pitch-perfect?
I saw a bootleg, so it was like cut.
Oh, my God.
He saw a bootleg pitch, by the way, if you want to know,
if you want to understand exactly how Griff is so black and so white at the same time,
he saw pitch perfect, but he saw it on bootleg.
That is Griffith.
in a nutshell.
It's all of the things.
Oh, God.
That was so funny.
So anyways.
I love it.
I love it.
Anything else going on in the world of the Knicks yesterday?
I am so happy that you just came with some nice positive news because all I've been
seeing online is like doom and gloom.
Like I, Peter, my one, two, three, like four of my friends in L.A. sent me the video.
Oh, why you do you?
And then I sent it to you.
I'm sorry.
I'd already seen it to one.
just so traumatized over it.
I don't know.
And for the audience and chat, I don't know if you guys saw it, but there's a very
disturbing video that's trending online.
It was a woman in California who was sobbing on top of her dog because LAPD came and
just shot him.
A neighbor called, I guess, you know, I called the police.
It was the night of the game, right?
Because she was obviously very excited like every other person.
And they called about a, you know, noise.
complaint and then they showed up and then they killed her dog.
Yo guys, it is so crazy.
It's like a big, the dog looks like, it's laying there dead.
And it looks like a big Laura like almost terrierish kind of dog, right?
Like curly.
I think it was a golden doodle.
Or a doodle.
A doodle.
Yes.
Yes.
Now, I am not for, you know, pre-judging anything.
Yeah.
However, I could even believe some event could have happened in which cops could freak out if it was a gigantic Rottweiler or Kane Corso or aggressive pit bull.
Sorry, guys.
There's a situation in which then maybe you could be in danger.
Doodles can be annoying and bitey.
They cannot kill you.
A doodle cannot kill you, dude.
Bro, and he was wearing a Knicks jersey.
It was wearing a Knicks jersey, a golden doodle.
What the F is wrong?
with you. Oh my God. And then it was like 13 cops like just standing there watching this woman like
ball her eyes out. Yeah, they're going to have that that is I'm going to tell you right now people human beings care more about
dogs than other human beings. That is going to play really bad for LAPE. That is going to be really.
That poor woman Marie Merseille is her name but I was just so heartbroken for her. I was like oh my God.
On what now forever this great thing is going to be the worst night of your life. Yeah. Because the cops
should have murdered your dog.
I can't even, I can't even.
Laura, why do you do that?
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
I still have good stuff on here.
Okay, let's go back to good stuff.
Can we get the video,
can we get the video of,
Mikhail Bridges talking about James Dolan?
Do you have that?
I think it's 17.
King Louis Cricken up.
Owner.
Right.
Dolan.
James Dolan.
You don't think he is savage, bro?
I don't think he is savage?
Ten weeks?
He brought niggas in,
10 weeks don't have no sex lock in he is a savage
he could be a he could he could hey hey he could be a bigger savage if you
build a practice facility in the city but he's still savage
on everything for a beach on everything
and everything yeah because I know there
This is Laura, this is a stream morning.
It's like 10 a.m.
Oh, God.
There's a big girl, everybody,
though, cheating your boyfriend,
eyes at the show.
So it's funny for a couple of reasons.
Obviously what a lot of people are talking about
is the not having sex for 10 weeks
request from the owner.
That's getting a lot of conversation.
That's like somewhat interesting to me,
but that's always been a thing,
the like weak legs, don't have sex,
all that kind of stuff.
To me, it's funnier that in the middle of it,
talking about how it's a savage.
You'd be more of a savage if you built a practice facility
in the city is the part that I thought was funny.
Because the Knicks have to go to Westchester every day for practice.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And so it messes up your whole situation.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
If you live in the city,
then you always are leaving on practice days,
which is a pain in the ass.
Yeah.
But, yeah, a lot of people are enjoying the conversation.
And it is like, listen, all's fair
because they won a championship.
If they hadn't won a championship and it came out that Dolan came out and made that request of his point.
People were like, what did you?
You did that?
Why did you?
Right, right, right, right.
Did you guys, did you see Dolan on the post game, Laura?
No.
You know, Dolan had a straight up Howard Dean moment, guys.
That scream at the end of the thing when he was like, rah!
I didn't see it.
But it was, I will say this.
James Dolan has not always been, you know, the most beloved, obviously.
And Ebro talked about this yesterday.
I respected the fact that he started off by saying, like, sorry, he took
so long.
I did think that was a nice thing to acknowledge.
But I think he's getting a lot of love, especially after the video came out last night
of the speech before the playoffs.
Yeah.
Now people are going to, again, because it worked out, because it worked out, you have to feel
good about it.
You know, it's all positive now.
Right, right, right.
It's not overstepping.
It's not anything.
It's just all funny part of a great story because they won.
One thing I saw, go ahead, Laura.
I did see a clip of him saying, um,
that not only were the players going to get rings,
but their partners were going to get rings.
Oh, will you have it?
I saw this.
I don't know if you understand what it would mean for you to win a championship this year,
to win the NBA championship.
It would be life-changing for all.
It will stick with you the rest of your lives.
if you don't win, you'll be thinking about it the rest of your lives. You're going to have
to sacrifice if you want to achieve this. You have to have a discussion with yourself about what
these next 10 weeks are. Because it's only 10 weeks. It's not a long time. But if you can now
focus yourselves, sacrifice everything around you for these next 10 weeks to win that championship,
I believe you can do it.
I've seen you do it this season,
and you've seen yourselves do it.
You know you can do it.
I believe you know you can do it.
But will you do it for the next 10 weeks?
This has just got to be all about us and about how we play.
It's not who we play, it's how we play.
Because I believe this team can be anybody in the NBA.
We've already shown that we can.
So it's not who we play, it's how we play.
So when you go home and you talk to your brides and your significant others,
I do want you to tell them one thing that I said.
When we win the championship, right, we will get rings.
And when we get rings, so will gain.
I will buy a ring for each one of your significant others
because their contribution is going to be very important to this team.
one. And then he says, and if you don't have one, go find somebody worth it.
It's just interesting that this, again, interesting that it played out so well because he's like,
you know, he's not a natural talker. You know what I mean? Like, it's not, that's not like a very
this is the most I've paid attention. Yeah, I guess you would. The most I've seen him. Yeah,
yeah. He, so, you know, he's been on my, he was on the Michael Kaye show with me before. Like I've,
I've interviewed him before.
He's sort of an uncomfortable.
He's not a super comfortable
with the mic and his hand kind of guy.
We saw last week he decided to go on the fan
and talk about Mom Donnie and was kind of like
beefing back and forth.
When he talks, it hasn't always been the best.
But this, I listen, I don't know
if this is what resonated as much as
they just think this is an amusing thing
and it's overall, like I said, positive because it worked out.
The speech that people have really talked about
is that Patrick Ewing spoke.
to the team when they were down to one against Atlanta.
And Patrick Ewing, you know, he was on our show yesterday on Don Hanna Rosenberg, and I asked
him about it, and he wouldn't like say what he said specifically, but if you read between the lines
of what Patrick talked about, you can tell he let them understand that like when he went in 94,
he didn't know he'd never really get a chance again because when the Knicks went back in 99,
Patrick wasn't healthy.
So he wasn't there for the finals.
And they obviously lost.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And Patrick Ewing's entire career has been he didn't win a championship.
And he ended up, it was actually really beautiful, though,
because the way he celebrated with this team afterwards,
it was like very unique for a past player to be that involved in it.
And by the way, and the team themselves is like just great.
They were great about bringing him in.
Cat, Jalen, by the saw I caught Kat last night too.
What a sweet kid.
I interviewed Kat when he first got drafted in like 2017.
He seems like the same sweet kid.
But they welcomed in Ewing.
So now to realize that Ewing gave them the speech
right before they went on the winning streak.
Like I think he probably does really feel connected to it also.
This is so fire.
There's just so much cool stuff that makes this whole thing awesome, man.
Yeah.
And then Thursday is going down.
Thursday's going to be a lot of fun.
Listen, Thursday is for the true fans.
You know what I mean?
I don't know if I, I'll probably be turning on the parade from home.
I'm sure, listen, it's for the true fans,
but I think everybody's going to be out celebrating.
And, well, are you going?
No.
What is he talking about?
I just, you know, I'm not, the large crowds is not for me.
You know how I get.
But I'm telling you, like, if you're not a super, like a super fan,
and you're not someone who like this was like you're like, nah, you're really Knicks forever.
Not like, oh, not like me and you were like, this is awesome.
I'm so happy.
I'm enjoying this.
This team's so lovable.
You're going to be waiting in that crowd all day.
Now, I will say, the timing is fantastic because the next day is Juneteenth and a lot of people are off.
It leads into a three-day weekend.
So, no, it's going to be super, super cool.
Let me see if there's any other videos related to the Knicks that we did not hit yet.
Oh, here's another story I saw moving around yesterday.
Yo, man.
You yesterday was a rough day for my guy Jay Will on first take.
Do you guys see my boy Jay Will on first take?
No, I missed that one.
Jay Will had two takes on first take.
One, he said that the shaking hands is for like JV players.
Because people were talking about that the Spurs didn't shake hands after the game.
They just walked right off the court.
Oh, okay.
And Brunson before he's celebrating.
goes and finds everyone.
And then it reminded people
that the same thing happened
at the NBA Cup.
When they played in the finals
of the NBA Cup
where the Knicks also beat the Spurs,
go to video 8.
Brunson at the NBA Cup,
he did the same thing.
And if you watch closely
at the end of this video,
respectfully, you'll see Webby act like a bitch.
And I love Webby,
but he do have bitch tendencies.
Very much so.
Here's Brunson.
Yeah, look at him.
He's celebrating, but he's going to find everybody.
He's being a good sport.
Look at him.
Look how little Wembe gives him here.
Nothing.
Bro, he just walked through him.
He walked through.
So the conversation was then in the finals, when the Knicks beat them again,
they didn't shake hands again.
And which is odd and like so unspur-like to me and un-Greg-Povic like
and, you know, not what you think of.
But I saw Jay Will saying that like, and Jason Williams, he's a former player, went to Duke, but we've gotten past that.
Okay.
And we've been very cool for a long time.
Lovely guy.
And very smart.
Jersey guy.
Incredible college career.
He got injured in his MBA career and just went on to be a great analyst and broadcaster.
Anyways.
So number one, he said, like, people are making a big deal about the handshakes.
Ah, whatever, handshakes like for JV, like it's not.
And I was like, bro, why are you giving these guys?
Don't do that.
Don't you're just, I'm not saying it means you're a horrible person
and you can't have a moment where you're not up for it.
I get it.
But let's also not act like what we don't want to teach our kids is,
is in win or lose to show graciousness.
Let's not act like that's not a thing.
Let's just be honest, it's poor sportsmanship.
Like, that's so whack.
I didn't understand, like, maybe he was saying like other players don't care,
about it because like you know they relate to the feeling so like it's not as big a deal for
players i don't know if it's even really about that though yeah like sometimes it's bigger sometimes
former players get so caught up in what it means for players sometimes it's about what like you're
putting out to the universe by doing exactly exactly but however though i mean listen uh evancy
suggests based on yesterday that um when it comes to sportsmanship j will might be in an odd
because he also said that he went to UFC 250 at the White House and that it was an incredible
sports event better than the NBA finals and he was at both. You didn't see that? I saw that,
but just. This is a beat of 250 and we're celebrating Black Music Month, a celebration of legacy,
creativity, and global influence of Black music. Today we celebrate the legendary Leotane Price,
one of the most important voices in American history. Opera began in 16th century.
Italy. But black artists helped expand and redefine what that tradition could become.
In the late 1800s, pioneering performers like Matilda Jones helped open the doors for future
generations of black classical artists by appearing on some of America's most respected stages.
Then came Leotin Price. Born in Mississippi, Price brought a voice that was rich, powerful,
and unforgettable. In 1955, she became the first black opera singer featured in a major
television opera production with NBC Opera Theater. She later earned worldwide acclaim
Performing at the Metropolitan Opera and internationally.
At 99 years old,
Leotene Price remains a symbol of excellence, discipline, grace,
and artistic greatness worldwide.
Black Music Month Amplified Voices is sponsored by AARP.
Better than the NBA Finals.
Listen, the, fight fans loved it, okay?
Fight fans thought it was really well done,
and that the actual card, like the fights were fantastic.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And people were very into it.
For me, I can't come away, you know,
saying things like that when the lasting thing
that so many people are thinking about is some a-hole
showing utter disrespect by saying something so abhorrent
about the former First Lady.
I can't just be like, oh, the event was incredible.
I can't.
I'm sorry.
For me, it mars it.
Like I'm too, I call me a snowflake.
I'm too offended by it.
Yeah, but it's like, it's the tone because it's what every, at least all of us thought it
was going to be and it was on full display.
Like I saw somebody like, you know, they were interviewing people that were there.
They're like, yes, everyone, you know, it was, everyone was cracking up and laughing and it
was because it was a joke.
I was like, eh, they're not funny about it.
And I really, and also, it didn't really get the laughs like that.
I didn't see it either.
It didn't.
It honestly didn't.
and I was happy to see,
I know this is a very low bar,
but I was happy to see they interviewed Shane,
TMZ like,
or one of those places,
grabbed Shane Gillis walking on the street afterwards.
It was like,
what did you think of what Josh said about Michelle Obama?
And he's like,
I didn't like that at all.
I'm not into that.
Like, I was glad to see that
because we've reached this bar,
we've reached this bar
where you're not sure sometimes where people are.
Yeah.
I have tend to think in the case of Shane Gillis.
I see,
I think he's really funny
and think he's,
I think he's,
likes to push boundaries, but is not a bad human being.
Again, just what I, in my parsing out who each of these people are,
he's someone who I think seems cool.
I was glad to see him out loud say the right thing,
because people won't even say the out loud right thing
when it's so obvious.
They give the, it's America, that's what we love, free speech.
We can say whatever we want.
No, no, you cannot say something hateful, racist,
deplorable and disgusting about the former,
First Lady 50 yards from where she lived when the truth is that dude's a nobody.
Yes.
He beat Derek Lewis at UFC 250.
How much do you want to bet that in three years and the annals of sports history, you are a zero?
Michelle Obama is a historic, a literal, historic figure who will live on in American history forever.
this classy and gracious and lovely human being
who made America look better to the world.
She's only handled herself with complete class.
You're a random current heavyweight in UFC
when the truth is mainstream people don't know the heavyweights in UFC.
You will not be, you're not even just in Gaichi or the other people on the card.
No one's going to know you.
You just use the moment to disrespect the woman who,
live there?
It's crazy.
It's disgusting.
It's like, you know, I didn't expect anything different though.
I knew something was going to happen.
I know something that was going to be low and, you know, whether it's a racist joke, sexist,
something was going to happen.
Something.
I guess I had hopes that like, you know, that nothing would happen.
But the truth is a lot of got one of my, one of my big issues with MMA.
has always been
that fighters in post-fight interviews
always talk insane. And I've always
felt that, you know,
as crazy as boxing was in its heyday,
generally, as time went on, maybe there was less decorum.
I mean, Mike Tyson did say he wanted to eat
a van or Holyfield's children.
But, praise be to Allah.
It was quite a combination of things.
We never see anything like it before.
Why is Rahsaan cracking a bit of court?
You just want a drop of me saying praise me to Allah.
I want his heart
I want to eat his children
Praise me to a lot
I was like Mike
Mike
That's a lot
Yeah I was a lot
I was worried at that time
But yeah
I just always feel that
For the sport to make it
To like the next next level
And even though Trump said yesterday
To McCrone
Maybe maybe the UFC was even
Even bigger than World Cup
No sir
It's not better than World Cup
I'm gonna let you know right now
But yeah I was just
I was surprised Jay Will said that coming off of,
at least without adding the caveat of what the hell was that.
Bro.
Now, speaking of good old racism, guys,
we had a conversation the other day, Laura.
We spent some time, and it was based in racism
because we were talking about the sentence for Carmelo Anthony
and how he was facing life.
And in fact, I saw right-wing outlets try to cut up our conversation
and make it look like I didn't believe that he should be punished,
which I never said in the conversation at all.
That's the key thing that everybody is running with
because I saw the comments on our videos and I saw...
Because they all came from Breitbart.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
These cats are really out here trying to cut up videos
to make me lose my job.
Yeah.
This is, it's crazy.
I was like, I went and watched the video like,
oh no, what did I say?
And I watched, I was like,
so I was saying I'm not,
I don't know that when something,
horrible happens between two teenagers, if it's the first time that the one teenager's done
anything, do you want to, like, end that kid's life? So I was questioning whether a life sentence
is really what you need. In the end, obviously, he got 35 years. He'll end up being, I'm probably
fine with the sentencing. My problem is when the shoe's on the other foot, and it seems like
it's a black teen who's harmed by a white person, I don't usually see those repercussions.
Yeah, and also it's like, it's a combination of things, though.
Like, I don't know, Louie, were you the one that was telling me how it, it was like,
even, okay, the photos they used when discussing it, right?
You saw these, like, lovely photos of, what was this?
Austin Mecca?
Of Austin.
And then when it comes to Carmelo, it's like the mugshot, right?
And I just, listen, after watching all those videos of his father saying all these disgusting things.
Let's see one of those videos.
I didn't know anything about this.
When we talked about it, you know, Ebro brought up the idea of him maybe being bullied.
Carmelo is maybe being bullied and it's Texas and it's these two white brothers.
And I just, I don't know what happened.
I didn't pay enough attention to the trial to know whether those things are at play.
I'm just calling it as a man, a kid got killed.
That's terrible.
Yes.
And then the trial was over like, what, three hours?
It was like three hours.
It was super fast.
So without knowing much about the Metcalf family, now these different things have popped up
because Austin Metcalf's father has been going on social media.
Let's play video six.
You don't even know who your fucking daddy is because 78% of you don't have your father in the home anymore.
You've got baby mamas running around with eight kids so they can get EBT cars to feed you all.
You think I'm being racist?
No, I'm being real.
Oh, you've got more melanin than me.
Ooh, so you get more privileges, more entowlement?
Because 400 years ago, someone actually sold you to us,
and we took you over here and put you to work.
And then we had a civil war to free your ass.
And now you won't talk shit.
Oh, I've been so oppressed.
You couldn't even vote 1960.
Look how far you've come.
Look at all the free shit we give you.
You're not oppressed.
You're fucking entitled.
You know what DEI stands for?
Yeah.
I mean, I don't have to be fucking qualified.
I just got to be a certain color or the race or gender.
Whose broad-ass idea was that?
I'm gonna tell you right now.
Charleston White, you think you're funny?
We'll see who's laughing.
Drew Anthony, you're a
and a coward, and you raised one.
Kayla, you drunk.
What'd you do to that boy to make him to stab somebody?
My God, what kind of mother are you?
There's so many layers, bro.
I don't even, I hadn't seen all of that.
I don't even know what to say.
I think there's more, too.
There's other ones, but yeah, I don't,
I don't feel like giving it anymore, more attention.
But, yeah, listen, we are not saying,
Because I think people were like, how could you, how could you, how could you say that he shouldn't, you know, he shouldn't gotten the sentence that he got?
I was like, listen, I'm not telling you he needed to walk free.
I was like, but I feel like we could have looked at things a little deeper.
That's all.
Yeah.
Well, yeah, when we had the conversation, you know, I immediately, and I, I, a reporter from Fox News reached out to me.
And they're like, hey, we're going to cover this.
Like, do you want to comment?
And I'm like, no, except I'll say that you should watch the whole video, watch our whole conversation, if that's what you think, if you think I'm saying, because if you go look at the comments, Laura, at the tweet and what my Twitter's been getting since that day, from these sickos, wishing harm on me, hoping that someone in my family gets victimized because I don't believe in, in punishment at all.
that's not even remotely what I said
and obviously in the conversation
this is the world we live in in the clip economy
10 seconds later I talked about my own personal
like I had a teenager in my family
killed by a teenager
I literally lived through a different version
of something tragic like this
and what I was pointing out was
A I saw how
a good defense
defense team can really find a way to make a white kid in America look like this just innocent.
Oh my God, they would never do anything kind of thing.
I've seen race in these trials play a thing.
Even though in my case, my brother-in-law was white and the kid who killed him who was driving
the car was white, I still saw the way the lawyers were able to try to clean him up.
and make him look like he's good in a way
that if it was a person of color,
a jury just wouldn't see it that way
because we live in America.
And they always apply a level of guilt
to people of color, specifically black and brown people,
that they don't like it.
So, but I also got into in that conversation
how ultimately, even though the sentence was not satisfactory,
no one ended up feeling particularly satisfied
after the sentencing.
Now, granted, it was a bad sentencing.
But had he gotten life, I don't think anyone would have felt particularly good either.
It was just at the end of the day, what, I mean, that person we just saw talking is obviously a horrible human being.
If those words come out of you, that is a horrible human being.
I'm going to remove that part and just talk about the being apparent part.
Okay.
Their lives without their son, it's an unimaginable grief that I witnessed first.
hand up close and it is it is unimaginably and unspeakably bad and we don't know
what that experience like and I pray that I never directly would ever know anything
like that I just know that from watching up close in my experience as the years
go on you know the person can't come back and if someone did something you know
intentionally like someone really went like they were it was murder one they
literally like I'm going to murder a person I plan out the murder
I execute the murder.
There are levels to these things.
That's why, you know, different crimes have different levels to them.
I don't know that in the case where it's someone who you don't know that ever had a violent
past previously, if they did something absolutely horrible, they need to pay the price.
But I don't know that that's equal and exactly the same as someone who planned out a murder.
That's why they have different levels to these things.
And that's the conversation we were having.
That's it.
We're not saying it.
I don't know.
I just felt like the way they were trying to frame you,
because that's what I,
what I saw was like Rosenberg making excuses for a murder.
I'm like, when did he do that?
I was the one, by the way,
our chat hated me because I was in there saying,
I mean, listen guys, he stabbed someone to death.
He has to go to jail.
Yeah.
That's how, whether he was being bullied,
whether it was racist,
any of the things that may have happened,
unless his life was being threatened,
literally like your life is being threatened.
If you kill someone,
there's going to be jail time,
which is a whole interesting conversation, too,
about like, we all get very judgmental
about these things, but, like,
God, life is just so about crazy situations happening.
Yeah, yeah.
I have to imagine no one involved in that
showed up to that meet that day thinking,
I'm going to be involved.
Horrible.
Either my own death or someone else's, you know?
We're just so effed as a country, Laura.
Like, that's what I saw from the comments.
Like, nothing in the clip that they pulled
was particularly controversial.
It was a conversation about punishment.
And yet the comments, like thousands of them,
and were this, and word that.
We've reached like a new low in this country
where it's like now, remember where when racists were ashamed a little bit?
Like they would hide and they were like, not me, not me.
Oh, no, now they're proud.
Dude, do you see what he was saying?
He's bringing up slavery.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
This stuff is literally right on the tip of their tongue and they're like, they're proud of it.
And the illest thing is we're talking about America.
The truth is, just like everything else, we have exported this around the world.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, you go look around what's happening in countries in Europe.
We saw it in Brazil, though they fortunately fought back and are winning the fight.
So you've seen it in Latin America.
You've seen it in Europe.
You've seen it in Eastern Europe.
we are exporting our racism.
Yeah.
And like as of 2016, when things started to get great again,
that greatness, the racists all around the world were like, ooh, look what they're doing.
Finally, somebody represents me.
It's okay to be the way I am.
Like, it's truly sad.
But also, and on top of that, you add the layers of like this, this clip, this clipping,
economy, right, where everybody's just clipping and it's all rage bait and that's all everyone
wants.
Just rage, rage, rage.
And it's so sad because I feel like at every moment, they're waiting to catch you to say
something that they could frame a certain way to get engagement.
They don't care about anything else.
Just engagement because it equals more money.
Well, how about this?
Explain to me, who is watching our clips that are random, because our conversation didn't
go viral in any way.
That was just in our show, regular thing.
And someone from Breitbart,
one of the established true right-wing outlets that there is,
pulled 30 seconds and posted it and said,
Peter Rosenberg, WWE commentator.
So they're specifically trying to get me fired.
It is like, let's see if we can frame him in a way
where a place that employs him thinks that he's immoral,
even though if they watch the clip
they'd be like
I know
Okay that's how he feels
I see King Louis who
who wallows in the waters
of the internet
So what do you
I guess I was even
taken aback
It'll be one thing if the thing itself
Already went viral
I was surprised they went into our show
To pull it out
You'll be surprised
Especially on X
How many of that side
Of the people
Stay watching
Do watch
And take a look at the clips
And do comment
comment on those clips for whatever reason.
And that could come from the conversations back then from.
That's what I think.
They do come and look, especially when it comes to those topics and those key topics
and say nasty things sometimes.
Yeah.
I mean, look, they know where we stand, right?
We've been together and, and for what, over 10 years, we're pro women, pro black,
pro-indigenous, pro-gay, pro-everything.
They did not like the conversations we had.
That would go viral.
Do you think that people weren't,
attention when you were going off on that police officer?
I don't know.
And after that they were like, ooh, let's keep an eye on him.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah, like it's a thing, bro.
That may have been the one that got me on the radar.
People are paying attention and not for the reasons that you think.
I know, by the way, it's so funny you bring that up because whenever I see Kylie
Jenner, I always think about the fact that Kylie Jenner posted that rant when it happened.
And then yet when random stuff will happen now,
I'll get called
I'll get called into
question about being a racist or not an ally
and yet in that moment
that was the most viral thing I've ever done in my life
and then literally it like disappears too
it's crazy all of the world is crazy
because in some ways
like if you have something terrible happen
it will stick with you forever
a good moment where people are like
yo this is something
it seems like that gets completely erased
I bet there are people in our chat right now
I don't remember that
when did Roseberg do that
It was Alton Sterling.
It was like 20, random day in 2017.
Yeah.
I looked horrible in the clip, but it was a good clip.
Okay.
Listen, it was pre-me getting my lineup right.
So it's unfortunate.
All right, some super chat, Lauda.
Please, please.
Grimby says the Knicks should go practice at the Nets facility in Brooklyn.
They'd put it to better use.
That's not nice.
Like, the Nets aren't doing anything right now, quite literally.
Can you just let, come on, man.
Just let the...
You don't have to take shots at the Mets right now.
Grimby K also says, why the F do you like Wembe?
Bro, I like him personally.
I don't know him as a player and like how interesting Wembe is.
Oh, man, he is exactly what the league needs.
I'm sorry.
Like, Steph's about to be gone.
LeBron's about to be gone.
They're going to have, and I called it.
I called it on TV.
He is about, I said before this series,
he is about to be the best villain ever.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was going to say that.
I'm like, a bro, his attitude.
Laura, thanks, but I guess that's what people like, though.
It makes it exciting.
It makes it exciting and hating him is as good as loving him, right?
But like, before the Nick series, people didn't really know what a villain he was going to be,
but like I'd already seen it.
And he's so good, though, also.
So, yeah, I think if you're a fan of basketball, having that story of him there is going to be great.
Tina Christie says, good morning.
Where's my T? 5 slash 18.

Where's my what?
Where's my tea?
Email us.
If you have issues,
E-L-R, merch at gmail.com, because we say over and over and over.
No, Laura will yell at you.
And then people are like, where is it?
Well, I'm sorry, but people are not always paying attention to the chat.
So how about this?
If there's an issue, you email and then we'll resolve it.
Laura, she spent $10 right now just to get an answer.
That's like a third of the price of the shirt.
You could have gotten for free if you would have just listened and email us.
And the same to Chrissy is definitely not sent an email.
I don't know.
But if you sent an email and I personally take a look at all the emails and make sure,
because I go in there and I'm like, let me make sure that every single person gets an answer.
I take pride in that.
I want to make sure that every single person gets an answer.
I want to make sure that anybody who has issues is taking care of.
So I hit up the other companies to take care of them.
But I'm on it.
If there's anybody in the chat who's ever dealt with me online, they'll see.
Because I appreciate everybody spending their money with us.
But if you have
That you've taken on this work
And also I'd like to give you
If you have an issue
You have the email us
E-L-R-merch at g-mell.com
Because we also
You also deal with different companies
It's not like where you know
There's one headquarters
Where somebody's making mugs
You don't know
We deal with third party
companies
So we have to specifically find your order
And if you email us
Please tell us your order number
And what it is that you order.
She wants the order number
Yes
She wants to know what you ordered.
Yes, please, so we can get to the bottom of it.
And then you get to the bottom of it.
Yeah.
I can't believe you decided to take this on.
Bro.
Sometimes I'm like, I'm going to cancel this.
I'm a cancel this program.
We can't just go.
We can't just find a really good merch place that does all kinds of merch and hands it off to them.
Why are you bringing this up right now?
Because it seems so hard, Laura.
I know I'm lazy.
There's a reason we're doing what we're doing.
No, I know.
Shut up.
I know.
I look forward to you one day deciding, you know what, Rosenberg, you were right.
This is for the freaking birds.
All right.
Sir,
Sir, do we know, says,
why are we giving Dolan Grace
when he's a horrible person to begin with?
Really?
Have folks forgotten about 1027, 24
and the Trump slash Nazis rally?
Oakley being barred,
his hatred on fans.
Stop.
You mean he allowed,
are they,
he's referring to them having the route,
the,
yeah, having the Trump rally at MSG.
Hello.
Got.
Okay.
This is where I,
I have to. Now, listen, there was a real Nazi rally at Madison's the scorecard.
See, here's where you have. This is when we get messed up being too hyperbolic.
The Trump rally, you cannot call it a Nazi rally.
You can have your feelings about what's underneath everything and all of those things,
and I hear you loud and clear. But they did not host a Nazi rally.
They did host the former president running for, our society has accepted that somehow this is
the political situation we're in.
them taking the money to allow the rally to happen.
I don't think that's something I'd hold over Dolan's head.
I think any arena in the country,
if the Trump people come in and are like,
hey, I want to do this thing here.
I imagine they would take it.
But anyways.
But he's also a supporter, so it doesn't surprise me.
That also.
Yes, they are friends and all of that stuff.
But why are people giving him grace, sir, do we know?
Do you think people are giving him grace though?
I think in this moment,
I think people are taking a break from being mad at him.
They won a championship.
Guys, that's why people are into sports.
Yeah.
That's the only reason they care about him.
I mean, you know how many people?
All of us are dealing with people we work for and know who have money,
who are on sides of politics.
We completely disagree with.
The only interaction with Dolan is the fact that he owns the team that people love.
And now they want a championship.
So that's why people are giving him grace for a few days.
Yeah, I mean, listen, I've seen a lot of people say, F him, love the Knicks.
I'm happy for the players.
I've seen a lot of those comments too, so.
They exist.
But, like, I mean, is that where you want to spend your energy right now?
where you're like, hey, he backed out of the way enough
and they won a championship.
He put the people in place who want to change.
It's hard to hate him for these few days.
I'm sure within a few weeks, give people to them.
You're putting a pause on the hate?
Who else?
Y'all should have waited to discuss this
until Ebro was there.
Talking about racial harm without black people
being a part of the convo is also damaging.
Sorry, I disagree.
I believe anyone can talk about racism.
I do too.
I'm sorry.
I think more people that are not black
Should be talking about racism
I think the fact that I think people who are not black
Being upset, angry and discussing racism
To Laura's point is what needs to be done
We need to wait for Ebro
See this is when we go too far people
We can't even discuss racism
Without being like nah that feels racist
Guys we eat our own
Can we have a conversation about how we were disgusted
By the vile racism
I have to call Ebro and go bro
Are you good with me talking racism today
Good Christ
Christ.
Emperor Zaddy Supreme says meet and greet.
Oh.
So what do you want to do about that, by the way, Laura?
I was talking to my boy Peter who puts on events.
Okay.
And he wants to do ELR events and he'll do the legwork and he'll set us up and put us in.
He can route it, give us multiple dates over time.
Like, what should we plan for our first thing?
We should like, we should take a step and just like make a decision and start doing something.
Because I'm talking to my girl Vashti, but it's such a separate thing.
It's not a meat and greet.
She throws like a family party where you bring your kids.
It's a kids party.
So unless you're a parent, you know what I mean?
It's not for you.
And that's not even.
I'm going to do that separately because I think it's cool and it's fun if you're a parent come
hang out with us.
But that's for the family matters crowd.
You know what I mean?
I think we need an official.
And like we're going to be chasing after our kids.
Yeah, yeah.
That's not like, I mean, don't get me wrong.
It's a very sweet idea.
Yeah.
But it's not John Blais.
Yeah.
I mean, what about one where we're like, you know, kicking it with the people.
Hanging out, having a little drink.
Yeah, having drink, having people come out and say hello, like maybe, maybe we do a live show.
Like, now that we're not a morning show or like a podcast.
Yeah.
We could just do like a live show for 45 minutes, take questions from the crowd, do different things, bring out a couple of guests, maybe, you know.
We could.
We could.
Louis, were you been to say something?
No, that's the move.
I think that's the move.
The live podcast.
A live podcast, separate meeting, greet right after.
So what's kind of what do you guys do?
What is it?
Like every year?
With you, Alan Hahn and...
I'm Rosenberg.
Yeah, you are Rosenberg.
Yeah, no, like just a live show you're saying
and then do a meet and greet afterwards.
Yeah, yeah, I think that's...
And I think the first one obviously makes sense
to do it in this area.
You know, city, Brooklyn, Jersey, or whatever,
somewhere around here.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then sort of try to gauge where else we could get...
Like, there's...
I know there's an app, Louie, where you can sort of like pull your people and see where they're at and who would be down for an event different places.
Yeah, we can figure that out.
Yeah.
Because people have been asking us.
Yeah, they've been asking us for a show too.
But not necessarily just us like, hey, can you guys host a mini concert?
Well, that's a whole different event.
I mean, we can.
And we can.
But here's what I would say.
The only issue with that is that's, yeah, I just think that's a whole lot of money, a whole lot of effort.
And cool, but it's a different thing.
together. Yes, I hear the heavy breathing of the
former gummy bear now oatmeal eating
Ron Baskin.
I was going to say, bring back Peter Palooza.
You know, listen.
No, no more saso. No, everybody told me.
Okay, Ron. Let's get through the point.
I thought about bringing back the Paloos.
I don't think this is the year. I was thinking maybe
for my 50th in a few years.
In a few years. Is that too long?
Yeah.
It is, if you're gonna do it,
that has to be sooner than that, P.
Well, how about this?
What year was the last one?
What?
A bunch of years.
It was already like five.
It was pre, it was pre, uh, divorce and stuff.
What?
Oh gosh.
What?
18?
He says pre-coving.
Oh, definitely pre-COVID.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
18?
I think 18 was my last one.
And for the new, okay, so for the new,
it was in Brooklyn.
New listeners, for the new listeners,
explain what Peter Palooza was.
Peter Palooza was my birthday concert that I put on.
It was based on, I did it,
I did it sort of as my homage to Wainstock from Wainsworld 2.
I was the original Palozo out here.
That wasn't Lala Palooza.
There were other Palozo that came along.
Peter Paloosa was that thing.
And we had really, really big acts and sold out really dope venues.
And it was a, you know, a mix of awesome.
Let's see, you had it.
You had a odd future multiple times.
Yes, yes.
A sap Rocky, Bronson, schoolboy Q, meek Mill, many, many, many, many, many greats and near grades.
Flatbush zombies.
Yeah, so many people.
West Side Gunn, Conway.
It was mad people.
Anyways, maybe next year, 2027 would be the 15-year anniversary of the first one.
2012 I called it a night of real hip hop
because that was after I got another thing with Nikki
at Summer Jam and I turned it around for July 23rd
so that was like early June
and then I turned it around and that first one I think was like
Rayquan
Asher Roth
of a random
maybe odd future actually too I think odd future as well
so yeah anyways
Long story short, maybe next year we bring back the Palooz.
Okay, look, shout to spring just spring.
He says the 40 plus crowd needs to be able to sit, L.O.L.
See?
I feel you.
Facts.
I'm not going to have you all in the pit at a concert.
We need seats.
Laura, we didn't even do a rundown yet.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Our boy, Vic Mensa,
when she pulled up.
Headlines heavy, but we still cut up.
Light still flashing.
We don't slow up.
Our boy, Vic Mensa,
I was moving.
around because he's basically declaring that he wants to play Prince in a biopic.
That's his ultimate goal.
I saw this moving around.
You know, and then when you look at Vic Mentsa, I'm like, hmm.
I know.
I can see it.
You can kind of see it.
Yeah, because, I mean, he's done his acting in the shy.
What else?
Has he done anything else?
I know from the shy.
I mean, I know from the shy.
I know he acted in the shy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I saw that.
The resemblance is there.
Yeah.
No, I mean, listen, I don't, listen, playing Prince, though.
Yes, you know.
Like, that is a, from an acting stamp.
I'm not saying he couldn't do it.
Absolutely, my boy could do it.
But, man, looking like someone only gets you so far with Prince.
I know, I know, I know.
Like, you'd have to really be able to, like, the energy that Prince exudes is a different animal.
Like, think about how great Michael's nephew was to make that work.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It wasn't just the resemblance.
But I also know that Vic Mensa would, like, throw everything at it.
Like, he would lock in and get all of the necessary.
necessary coaches.
Like, I think that he would put his all into it.
Of course.
You think he needs to get the thing and show up to a set like a yo-yo?
But I mean, it's nice that he wants to do it.
But wait, is there even a Prince Biopic?
I don't think so.
I want everyone to be clear.
This story in the rundown is literally just a friend of ours saying,
you know what I'd like to do one day?
It was moving around.
But it was.
No, I saw it.
It was.
Yay has announced two Chicago shows in September.
And they're pretty big.
So let me see.
So, you know, he actually has a handful of performances on his website.
But yeah, back-to-back shows in Chicago at Soldier Field September 3rd and 4th.
Chicago still loves and supports him.
They're going to come out.
Well, I mean, the people who do do.
Yeah.
Let's not include all of Chicago in that.
But yes, the people.
You know what I mean.
Listen, the yo-yo's who don't hold Kanye accountable are still showing up no matter what.
They're still buying the weird clothes when he was selling them for $8 a buck.
He also has a San Antonio date and then he is...
San Antonio.
Yeah, then he's going to Spain, Portugal.
So let's see how this moves.
Another thing that was moving around and trending,
I don't know if you saw this,
sorry to bring doom and gloom,
but did you see that horrible video of that woman?
Her name is Maria Eduardo Rodriguez
and she was bungee jumping.
I just heard about this.
She was with her boyfriend.
And there were,
in an area called Skeleton Bridge before her, you know, being put in position and thrown over.
They forgot to attach the actual bungee cord.
No, bro.
Bro, that woman, she's 21 years old, lost her life, man.
She flung 130 feet without the rope being attached.
Like, it is a nightmare.
Now this isn't, I don't even know if we, should we show the video?
I mean, you don't see her dying in this video, but this is just like at the very beginning when they were
setting her up.
Oh, this is so sad.
This made me really rethink things, Rosenberg,
because I'm one of these people who likes to, like,
ooh.
No, no, no, no, no.
Yeah, it's horrible.
It's horrible.
It's horrible.
Oh, my God.
Why do you do that?
I'm one of these people who likes to do all these crazy things.
Not anymore.
Rassan, one time was fine.
Oh, my.
Yeah, one, yeah.
And then there's another angle out there which shows the entire.
Oh, yeah.
I do not want to see that.
I do not want to see that.
What the hell kind of operation was that the joint is laying on the ground.
Bro.
That's your main job.
That's what.
No, but like literally what kind of operation is that?
Like it's just sitting on the ground.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then they run.
When they realize what happens, they run.
And they arrested them and they know who they are and everything.
So it's literally not a real operation.
I mean, you know, when you go to different countries and you see people be like, yes, there's an advertisement for this.
Like, you don't know that company.
You don't know how legit these companies are.
Bruh.
It made me really rethink things because I've taken part in wild things like this.
I've gone to like, you know.
Natalie, Natalie's Natalie Bunchy Jones.
Me and Natalie did it together.
We went on this hot air balloon.
And by the way, that was a little, yeah, that was a little suss, right?
Bro, when the, when the balloon, when the hot air balloon was landing, we almost landed on this random.
zoo. I was like, sir, there's like hyenas down there. We cannot. And he's like, oh, okay,
let me pull us up again. It was, did she didn't tell you? No, I remember that. I just didn't
really think about it in context of how scary that would be. Yeah, it was pretty wild. And
how close were you getting? Like, close, Peter. Like, we were, like, we all looked over the
basket and be like, guys, there's a zoo here. And the guy was like, oh, okay. No, like, how do I
say this respectfully? Don't get me wrong. We are an absolute disaster of a country.
in 90 million ways,
but there are certain things here
that I would trust to do here
that frankly other places
I just wouldn't.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I know it's like I just,
our business practices,
I mean, they can be terrible,
but in terms of like you will literally die,
people who care too much about money here
to allow these like,
that thing was rogue.
I know.
That was so,
that's so awful.
So heartbreaking.
Was she Brazilian?
I don't know.
I don't know if she was?
I believe so.
Yeah.
Poor.
Oh.
Yeah, it's crazy.
But yeah, it just made me rethink things.
People in the chat are like, thanks, Laura.
They were like, now there goes my excursions.
I'm saying we just have to be a little bit more aware.
I might, I don't know about, even Natalie in the helicopters these days.
I just like don't like.
This stresses you out.
Yeah, honestly, you know, it stresses me out now because it stresses her out more.
Yeah.
Ever since the baby, it stresses her out more.
She didn't used to get stressed out.
Well, now she does.
I was the same.
Before you're like living your life.
Yeah, I'm going to do whatever I want.
Woo-hoo.
Now you have a child that.
depends on you.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Someone that you love more than yourself and you're like, I can't die.
I can't risk my life.
So everything changes.
Yeah.
So I don't know.
I did the bungee.
I did the, you know, I did all of it.
Now, Natalie's bungee video is the worst.
Like she's done everything, right?
She's skydope?
That's the one thing I didn't do.
And I'm not going to do it.
Well, you heard about the skydiving thing this week too in Missouri.
No.
On this past weekend.
11 people were killed
in a plane for skydiving.
Oh my God.
With like expert divers
and then a few people
who were going to be doing tandem diving
and like it went down right after going on.
That's horrible.
Here's the thing.
Just seems like
so many of these things like
are around things like
you know, a small propeller plane
that was used for this.
Like it's just all that stuff.
I'm not saying it's like high chances
but it does seem like
There's more with regard to that than just other places.
It just makes me very, very iffy.
Yeah.
Anyways, Laura, I'd like to say thank you because you started the show with depressing stories and you ended it with depressing stories.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Am I wrong?
I tried to come in.
I went to the Knicks party last night, y'all.
Let's talk about it.
It's what's on my mind.
It's what people, my friends are sending me.
It's what's trending.
I was talking about it with Louie.
You started the show with dog murder?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
And you ended it.
with bungee death.
I know, I know.
That is what we did today, folks.
From dog murder to bungee death, another glorious morning on ELR.
The chat is like, and then you wonder why Kenz is the way she is?

You're not wrong.
