Ebro-Lawr-Rosember, we back at it, right? It's kind of crunchy for you, isn't it, Rosenberg? Way crunchy. What do you mean? Crunchy? The sounds. Oh, in the ears?

Yeah. I mean, they're loud. There's some loud sounds in the ear on the eardrum. And you move that down. I don't know why we had to move it down. Did things go up? Well, that thing's weird because if that's just up, it messes with the ears no matter what.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just giving you some inside baseball, folks. Yeah, I noticed. I just ignored it so that the audio sounded good. Does it sound, and we don't know. Does it sound good? We haven't gotten complaints. Or we have, but they're also different that you can't keep track of what complaint actually makes sense.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are getting ready for the big parade tomorrow. Everybody's got the details, I'm assuming, starting at Battery Park, going to City Hall. The Knicks Parade, the ticker tape parade. and I think it's confirmed I'm going to the parade Oh nice I'm going to go to the parade With Issa

Oh Issa was like dad we're going No I haven't even told you Oh surprise Yeah and I think we're going to the same place In the parade it's going to the parade A J's It's the best way to go to the parade isn't it Yeah

I think I never done I mean if you could have a spot Wait but aren't you don't you have to do ESPN stuff I don't know I think now no I think I mean I think it's be good that I'm there and I will probably check in, but I don't think I have to do anything. But you don't have to, like, do a John Han.

No, Bart and Carlin are there. Okay, got it. They are live from the parade. But so now I just would like to be there for the moment. It does feel like a moment in time, right? Yeah, not. It's history, bro. Like, I mean, what else is going to unify like this?

Like, I'm not going to a Yankee parade. I'm just to be honest with you. Not happening. Not going to a giant parade, for sure. Jets ain't ever getting a parade. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So what else? Unify the city, like something that everybody wants to be a part of.

Yeah, and if people think I'm a fraud because I'm a Celtics fan and I'm enjoying this, I don't care enough. So I'm happy to just enjoy it. Yeah, well, I think as a sports fan who lives in New York, you have, just like anybody else who probably loves Nix fans, you're happy for the moment. It's not like, it's not a situation where you've taken up someone's seat at the parade that we like would potentially want to go. But because Rosenberg's there now, they can't go. Correct. Although I did, you weren't here yesterday, but I did take up spot at Jalen Brunson's party

a couple nights ago. But listen, a Knicks fan's not supposed to be at that, because guess what? You'd vomit on yourself. It's not a good spot for a Knicks fan to be. Why? Because I talked to, like, I was talking to Mark Ronson yesterday. And I'm like, A, Mark, I said, I think for the first time ever, I've done something socially that you will be jealous of.

And I was like, I was with your guys party. And he was like, oh my God, I couldn't handle it. I was like, yeah, years of you. being cool. Years of you becoming this cool guy and hanging with Dua Leepa would have gone out the window when you vomit on Josh Hart's sweater. You know what I mean? Whereas I was just like happy to be there. Just like, hey man, this is crazy. Y'all are really good. You really good. You guys did you good. No, but Josh, let's talk some commanders real quick. You know what I mean? That's the that's Is that what you did? Yes, 100%. He's a hardcore, bro. He's a real, no, don't do it. Because

you'll be wrong. You play. No, you're playing yourself. Wait, why couldn't you, why couldn't you wait? Why couldn't you just have a moment? I gave him. I gave him. I gave him. Big love on what he is for the team. And then I was like, but let's talk about our guys. Over the course of how much time, big love. 30 seconds? 20 seconds. And then transition straight.

It's his team, though. I understand. Yo, he went to Sidwell friends. I know, but yesterday we talked about this ebrook is like, how much, like, great job. You guys are amazing? How much of that are you going to do? I don't know. I'm not a big small talker.

So I would have been like, yo, you guys did a great job. It's fire. You got an NBA championship. That's all I would have to say. Well, I did, I did longer than that. I probably gave another 15 10 seconds But then you went to talk about football But that's his team

What kind of party was it? Was it a dinner or was it like music playing? No music playing part Like people was hanging out But Josh didn't I don't know the man The vibe he gave was sober guy at party Like hanging out very together

But not enjoying the music Wanted to have talk He was at the bar He was in the bar area talking to people He was not in the middle I didn't grow He wasn't grinding and I was like Yo my man

Hold up hold up Let's talk about the come out Hey yo yeah yeah Clue Turn that music down. Now listen, you got time to hang with itches later. Let's talk JD-5. He doesn't, actually.

Well, he's married with children. Yes. Exactly. So what was I? Like his high school sweetheart. So what was I interrupting him from? Exactly. Hey, yo, Clu, turn that down.

Yo, OG, be quiet. We got to talk commanders talk real quick. But I'm, no, but the Knicks fans, man, the way that they interact with the team, the way this is hitting people is just, it's crazy. It's so fun to watch. You will actually, I thought about you. because yesterday my co-host for some reason

which one you have two Don Hahn and Rosenberg Yeah In our group chat Someone mentioned a Jets conversation About oh well you know There's a supplementary draft coming up And I was in my brain

I was busy I didn't get to respond to it But my brain I go I hope they don't think that we should mention this today on the radio Like I pray that they don't want to do this Congratulations And as the show went out we got to a point and then they brought it up and on the air and I don't think Don was thrilled

with me. I was like, what are we doing guys? No, what are we doing? We have the rest of time to talk about the piece of shit jets. Can we please? Our show ends at 6 o'clock on Thursday because of, uh, we're preempted and then we're off Friday.

Until 6th. You're off for Juneteenth. Look at you guys. Offer Juneteenth. I have to actually host a USA soccer event. It's in Jersey. You should go if you're right. But, um, it's an off day and I'm like

until 6 o'clock Thursday guys I'm sorry can it just be next every minute we got a championship we want to waste this and move on to Jets right now good job I agree with you what because right now

we're getting casual listeners who might be like I'm into sports now but I'm not normally they hear you talk about the Jets supplementary well no maybe was Don a big basketball fan Don is not a big basketball fan but he's obviously been very into this

Of course. But he's probably like, all right, I don't have anything else to talk about. What else is there to say for him? I've noticed. Khan probably has lots more to say. I've noticed Don struggling to know how to handle Happy Radio. I think Happy Radio is like what, because he keeps talking about stuff like, I got into a big argument with him yesterday. He's like, if you're a Knicks fan, you know, you can't turn around next year and lose.

I said, I should say that because on Monday, I remember vividly here when I was like, no, we're going to do something. something positive and you were like, no, I'll be back tomorrow for things that annoyed me. Because you had that same moment. But not Nix. It was not Nix. It was just like in general. Oh, he wanted to go bad on something. Northwest at the Chicago.

You wanted to go bad on something. Yeah, but in the sports thing, the way I look at it is I've had to, I've been doing sports talk there now for 10 years. And in that time, there have been no championships. And we've talked about so many teams being bad. And the easy thing to do in sports talk radio is just bad, bad, bad, hammer people bad bad bad and it's a little harder and and we're not in a comfortable place sports talk radio by the way that yeah i think so no it's not oh you're saying it's all the world

it's we all do it we do it about music like we could be loving an album but we could be loving a movie but well bro congratulations you played yourself yeah congratulations you played yourself yeah donkey of the day yeah every segment is you f stop yes yeah so then having a moment of like We want to do radio where it's just, isn't this great? It's like kind of hard. Like if you don't know it, but I've been, I'm just like, just let people call. Let people gush about their family situation. Yes.

Let's just like keep it going. Bro, somebody told me, a listener told me that they thoroughly enjoyed us taking calls. They're like, the fact that you guys took calls from Nick's fans was so fire. And I'm like, 844-E-L-L-R-3. Yes. Keep it going. People are still feeling it. And some people can't make the parade.

They live out of town. I know so many people flying in for. just for the parade that are New Yorkers that live somewhere else. Are you you not bringing the baby? No, I feel like it's too much. Should I? And I don't know what to expect. So that's so I was going to follow your lead on this actually because you have more experience out with the baby.

Yeah, I just don't. I don't know how many people I'm going to need to interact with. Are you coming or? Um, I got invited to the same thing to the same thing. Yes, I'm going to go drop off Kansas at school. So you're not bringing her? And they go, no, she has school. Okay, she has school.

We were debating. You're going to take her out of school? No, no, no. It is a moment in time, though. Yeah, no. Wow. No, no, no. If I, I'm taking kids out of school.

Yeah, no, no, no, she can stay. Are you sure? Yes. These are like, but these are- I just don't even want to hang out with her. I know. I want to go with her and her. By the way, that's really what it is.

I need to bob and weave. I need to do whatever I got to do with my man. Like, I don't, I rather. The bob and weave part, I agree with. But if it wasn't for a safety issue, I would, I would push back and say maybe this is a cool thing. Maybe. Well, maybe.

Five, six is a tough bobbing weave versus, like for MJ, you could put her in a baby Bjorn or whatever those things. Strapp on sounds wild. Pause. And then move through the crowd. Obviously, Issa's, you know, five, six. But you could. Islauging and rolling?

You could do it with Slossi too big. No, I could, but I just, I'm not quite sure the interaction level and the crowd. That's my fear. And knowing Salasi, she's going to get sick of you holding her. She wants to hang out. Yes. And Slossi'll be like, I could do it. I could do it.

I could do it. Daddy, I could do it. But you just, but you're going to a place. So it would just be about the moments on way to place and way out of place. But I don't even know what place is. What happens at the place? I assumed it's like an indoor area. I don't think so.

I don't think so. I think they built some sort of platform. Anyway. Why would it be indoor? Like if people have, I don't know, that's a good point, I guess. If you were higher up and you could see over it, like it's an off. Sometimes people in place like this, they'll have office views and they're like, we're on the route.

So we have this area. and you can see it. I don't know. You're right. I'm making it up. I don't have kids. I mean, maybe we should ask. But I still didn't.

I mean, Sla's too and a half. And how are you getting? Here's my other question. You're driving in. No. I'm not. I'm taking the train. And I'm going to take the fair.

I'm going to be on Jersey side. So I'm going to take the ferry over. Ferry over. Train down. No. Ferry over. Battery Park. Because there's a ferry that goes down at Battery Park.

And you'll be right there. And then I get off and walk a few blocks. And just walk. Yeah. So I'm guessing that I'm sub-waying, which I don't know what that's going to be like with the baby. That's my concern. It's like they're saying it could be millions of people.

No, no, no, it's millions of people. That's what I'm saying. No, it will be. And you would be sub-waying down a Chamber Street, which is already, it's, remember, it's 8 a.m. on a Thursday morning. Even if you're not going to the parade. Yep, that used to be my stop for school.

And it was a nightmare all the time. So I can't even imagine. You think people who work down there, I mean, financial stuff ain't stopping, so. Nothing. Yeah, people have still got to go to work. That's not a job that's stopping because of the parade. That's definitely people who are going to take the day off.

We're going to work from home. Work from home. All right, you've convinced me. I'm going to leave the baby. It's a good call. Who you got, Grin? Annie, share the story about the Knicks and her mom. Annie, talk about the Knicks and moms.

Rest and peace to mom. Hello? Hi. Hey, Annie, you're on. ELR. Ebro-Lauro-R-Roszenberg. Good morning. Good morning.

I'm calling about my mom. She was a lifelong Knit fan. Shout to Mom. And she passed in November. Oh, I'm sorry. Has it been emotional this whole time thinking about mom watching this thing? Of course, especially game four. I was looking at her ashes and I told her that Trump's evilness is not stronger than my love for the Knicks.

There you go. There you go. And look at that amazing comeback they had. There you go. Yes, Annie. It was either Wutang Clan or your mom. You know what I mean? I'm with you.

I'm with you. I feel like all the Knicks fans in heaven really pushed and we're like, come on, let's do this. She's definitely pulling strings. And I used to gig on her my whole entire life watching them and they're never going to win during your lifetime, mom. They're never going to win during your lifetime. And I was right.

But I'm so happy that they did because I know she's smiling down on them. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Annie, thank you for your phone call, man. And thanks for us supporting ELR. Thank you very much, guys. Have a great day. All right, take care.

Sound like she was welling up a little bit now. I know. I know. 844, ELR, ELR 3, the lines are always open. We still, we have a lot of things to get to today. Laura's got the rundown, which you're covering. The Floyd Mayweather drama that's going on, a new Diddy update, and just, you know, I'm going to chat a little bit about Serena and Venus.

We also, this was going around in our chat yesterday. King Lou, how would you rank this on the? on the viral level of conversations on social with the dad taking his daughter into the woman's restroom. Where would you rank that? Is that like a threat level 10? No, not going to be like. I would say it's seven.

Seven. It was hot, though. It was hot, though. It was hot, it was moving. Yeah. Yeah, I could see that because there's a lot of different opinions on it. I was surprised. Yeah.

What was the big, like, the big hot take on it, though? I don't know. I didn't see one specific. I just, it was a lot of people sharing either as dads what they've done. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Or response to that video because clearly it didn't have to be. Oh, because the Karen came in and got him in trouble, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And it was a guy, he was a male Karen coming after another guy. Well, so I was, I was curious about that. And we'll talk more about it in a second. But did a woman complain that a man was in there so another man showed up? Or is that what took place for son? You got a mic? Go ahead. Say it.

A woman saw a man I was trying to go use the bathroom manager of the Got it Got it And we don't know if that woman even knew that the man had a little girl She just probably saw a man and complained right away Maybe we don't know

I don't know because I didn't see that part Got it And then we also The Obama Library I mean that's got to leave a mark On everybody What do you mean leave a mark? Well because Trump couldn't even pull together

a 250th celebration of the country with reputable artist performing. Obama's opening a library in the south side of Chicago and it's the... I mean, it is the who's who of performers. It's like the best concert you'd ever want to see, damn near. It's pretty solid.

It's very... I mean, I don't know if it's a concert I'd want to see specifically, except for Stevie. Common. But those are two good ones. Eddie Vedder, you know, it's cool. I don't know if I wanted.

You're not a big Bono guy. No. No. I'm kind of good on Bono. I like Eddie Vedder. Christina Aguilera. What about Sting? Sting?

I'm not a big Sting or a big Bono guy. I like Sting live. All right. Let me see. I know he's done good shows for sure. Mark Anthony's going to be there. Mark Anthony? Thames.

The point is the names, though. I mean. Jennifer Hudson. The general quality of names are you're talking about. Legitimate artists is what you're saying. No, legitimate superstars. Yeah, but international. superstars want to celebrate the opening of a presidential library.

Now, it's a special presidential library. It does have a gym, a restaurant, a fit, yeah, a kids playground, and some sort of like open park area. So, and a museum. So it's not your normal presidential library, and it costs $300-something million. So, so it's different. No presidential libraries, I think, had the gym, and the restaurant. I don't think so.

I don't think so. A gym open for the people. Yeah. That's awesome. Yeah, I don't know if you need a membership. I don't know how it works. And it's got like some community area where like the community, because it's in South Side.

So it's got like something for the community that could come and do, you know, panels, discussions, learning. And the indoor kids area is so clutch because in the winter, people struggle. Where do I take my kids? That's affordable. Big facts. You know,

I happen to know someone who can probably give me information on if there's ever been a comparable presidential library. Who's that? That would be the man I know who visits things like presidential libraries by dad. He would know. Goes to presidential libraries, presidency doesn't even like. See if MJ wants to call the show this one. I love MJ.

I don't know how much he knows about this library, but I'll ask him. Maybe he'll do a little research. He's a journalist. He's a journalist of all journalists. You think you're a journalist. I don't think I am a journalist. Well, you went to journal. Didn't you like major in journalism? Sure. You're still not an MJ, is what I'm saying.

That's fact. You're not an MJ. So we'll come back to the library. And then are you guys paying attention to the race riots in the UK? My dad, my dad's who filled me in on that this weekend, too. I was telling Laura off the air how wacky that story is. That story is crazy town. What, that white people are being mean to immigrants?

No, that story's oldest time. Okay, so what's crazy town? What started this? Okay. The event that started. You didn't hear about it? The stabbings? Yeah, with the stabbing.

So, like, this crazy man who happened to be a Sikh. Yeah. Stabbed another person who had, happened to be a, I believe, Polish Brit, a white person. Yeah. When the cop showed up, the man who did the stabbing was like, he attacked me because I'm Sikh and faked a race crime. And the cops actually, in a moment that you would never see happen in America, believed

the person of color and let the white man die on the ground. Wow. But the let the person die. was crazy. They didn't like tend to him in the same way. They believe, this is what I understand of the story. Don't Brits in the chat feel free to correct me. Don't scream at me. As a result, you can imagine how this is

playing out. Now the stories with the racism that's already been bubbling and the hatred towards Muslim Brits, Middle Eastern Brits, etc. By the way, this is in Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland, sorry. So this is in the U, this is not even in England. No, it's in the Kingdom. Yeah, it's in the United

Kingdom, Northern Ireland, which is still 97% white and they're trying to make it feel like the immigrants are taking over. Yes, that's been the angle for all. It's 97%? Yes. Wow. Interesting. Very interesting.

Well, and it's also got, you know, it's being funded. There's, you know, political angles out of that. Did we put in, let's see, let's go to Mr. Cody, uh, dollar, a comedian that I follow, who does some pretty interesting stuff. Okay. Clip number 18. So you don't know why the UK seems to have spent the last two weeks enjoying a twin pack of race riots,

but you don't want to look like a thick, thick, dum dum in front of all your mates. Here's a quick rundown to help you understand why these gentle giants have taken a break from beating up their girlfriends to help keep Britain's streets safe by burning those streets to the fucking ground. Now, the race riots in question

were caused by the murder of 18-year-old Henry Novak in Southampton in 2025 by Stabby Psycho Vikram Digua and the attempted murder of a man called Stephen Ogilvy and Belfast last Monday by Stabby Psycho Haddy a Loddy. Now, no points for guessing that the two stabby psychos in question are not white. Hence in Southampton, a far-right group called the Southampton Patriots got the wrong address

for Vikram Digwa's family home and instead terrorised a complete randomer's semi-detached for two and a half hours. Lovely red stripes, sir, I like my patriotism served with a blood-alcohol level of how the fuck is he still standing up as well. And in Belfast, gangs of men in Balaclavas committed a pogrom by setting fire to the homes of immigrants and ethnic minorities. Now, I don't want to sound like a tinfoil hat, twat, but I've identified some dots that I've got to join together with string until they create stringy portraits of these four cites because these race riots are part of a strategy. Stay with me. During the race riots in Southampton, the vice president of the United States J.D. Pistice Pants took a break from looking like an AI-generated image of what a butterbean would look like if it was a human being to post on X to think he thought Henry Novak was killed because of an invasion of migrants into the UK. Similarly, half man, half Khole, Elon Musk posted on X that the Belfast riots were a result of uncontrollable. immigration, even though according to the 2021 census, Northern Ireland was 97% white. Now, you might remember that in December last year, the Trump administration published a new

national security strategy. Stay with me. Contained within this new national security strategy was a promise to cultivate resistance in Europe to ensure that America remains the greatest and most successful nation in human history. The strategy then went on to say that the most effective way of doing this was to support Europe's far-right movements. Enter far-right lunatit Tommy Robinson. Real name, Total fucking cuck.

Who was unbanned from... by Elon Musk in 2024 and is bankrolled by two US tech billionaires who are close to Donald Trump. Robert Shillman, who's a former board member of the Friends of the Israeli Defense Forces, who bought Tommy Robinson his new teeth, and Robert Mercer, who bankrolled Brexit and set up Bright Bart News, the alt-right news website that's widely seen as to have created the MAGA cult. Meanwhile, Tweedy GONAD, Nigel Farage, said that the British people should respond to Henry Novak's murder with cold rage. Now, all of this comes at a great time for Nigel.

who's currently being investigated for accepting five million pounds from his own tech billionaire, a man called Christopher Harbourn. Nigel's also shitting his pants because his party, Reform UK, is currently losing votes to restore UK, a party that's even more right-wing and led by a man called Rupert Lowe, who Elon Musk said would make a better Prime Minister than Nigel Farage. So what the fuck's going on here, then? Answer, a group of men who were funded by tech billionaires have exploited two tragedies to openly call for race war on the streets of Great Britain,

which apparently is all part of a US strategy for world domination. or maybe I'm reading too much into it. No, you're not. That guy's great, by the way. That was very good. He's very funny and informative. Wow. Yes, nice.

So, yeah, race riots in the UK. But it's all, and Lauren I talked about this some yesterday. This is all, so much of this is a big export of the U.S. This whole thing. Like, that's the crazy thing about what started in 2016. It's really taken over so much of the whole world. Because, you know, racists were looked. They're always looking for it.

And this movement. movement, if you want to call MAGA that, has given that to so many places from Brazil to Europe. So it's just everywhere. Everywhere. It's getting worse and worse. Well, some places are kind of primed for it. Of course. Because there's history there.

Of course. And then there's places that are obviously struggling like economically jobs and things like that. So the billionaires who don't want, always remember it, the people with all the resources don't want people looking at them as the problem. so they want you to pay attention to you want us blaming each other. Right. Right. Or other immigrant people who have nothing.

That's a big thing of the Jew hate of all time. Right. The Jews have always been that. No, no, no. No, it's over there. Trust us. It's the Jews. Right.

You know, that's, or whoever in this case the group is. It's wild times, bro. Well, and then when you really, really look at it, it's something that corporations, billionaires, hell, they do it in sports. fans go after players more than they go after owners. Absolutely. And you're like, yo, this guy's just trying to get what he's worth.

Yeah, why is he the one? Why is he the bad guy? Isn't that weird? We're so good at going after the people who are not the actual ones pulling the street. But that's what makes them so good. Right. That's why they're so good at pulling these tracks. And we're conditioned, too, a little bit.

Griff, who you got over there? Or did they hang up? He just began. Oh, bandwagon. Everett's on the bandwagon. Let's celebrate the band. Yo, get on the bandwagon, Everett. What's going on, y'all?

Yeah, I'm out of the bandwagon today. Listen. Oh, just today. No, what? For tomorrow. Wait, us or you mean the Knicks? They won the championship. It's an easy bandwagon to get on.

And the amount of people that are going to be down at the parade, there's plenty of room. No, I was just saying there's plenty of room on the Knicks' bandwagon because the amount of people who are already on there celebrating. Come on, yeah. So listen, let me tell a quick story. All right. So I remember the episode before Memorial Day.

You guys were talking about gambling. And gambling is in my blood. That's not a good. So I took a chance on the Knicks and over. It took $900 on it. And I won $2,800. Very nice. I became a Knicks fan.

Then on top of that, New Jersey don't have no team. So I'm rooting for my neighbors. There you go. Well, listen, I said congratulations on your win, by the way. 28 Hyundai. God bless. Off nine is a good number. Now, did you pocket the winnings,

or did you continue to waste your money? I pocketed it and I flip it because you know, Mr. Chicken and Waffle, that's what you're talking to. Hey, Mr. Chicken and Waffle, yo, over there. And you're in Irvington, right? Well, I was in Pattinson. Patterson. I'm in Newark, I'm in Hoboken.

All right, yo. Check out Mr. Chicken and Waffles on Instagram. Big supporter of the program. We appreciate you all the time, man. Listen, I love y'all. Yeah, be safe, have fun. And I hope I'll run it to y'all tomorrow. All right.

We'll see you at the parade. You're bringing out the food truck? You know, I got a New York City for Mitt, but it's only for events, so I can't bring it out. Oh, God. All right. We don't want you getting told. Yeah, you know, I think you should just leave his food truck where it is.

I've seen too many crazy. Too much craziness. And it's going to be super crazy tomorrow. Now, I saw Mom Donnie tweeting about some special tickets to a thing. Is that to be up close at City Hall or something? Is there like a performance that's going to take place? I don't know if there's some extra entertainment. I don't know if there's extra like why you would want the tickets.

I don't know. Maybe there's at risers where you can be like. That's what I'm, I'm assuming it's something cute like that. In a better spot? I don't know. We'll see how cute any of this whole thing is. I'm trying to figure out this many people descending on lower. Manhattan. I really, I've never.

There's not a more secure location in Manhattan, no. I want to let people know. You're down by the Freedom Tower, Wall Street, City Hall, one police plaza. If you, good luck to you. Don't play games. If you think you're going to go down there and play games. Yes, King Lou. And the tickets are

to be at City Hall. So 600 free tickets they're giving away. Oh, wow. Okay. And it's a lottery and that's going to close at 11 a.m. Got it. All right. That's a nice treat, though. Yeah. So we don't, but we don't know if there's like a concert going on at city hall.

Get to rest them feats. See, that's what I'm really looking forward to. I don't know. I'm glad this is like an hour, I think. I think here's. So I need to plan to walk for like 30 and stand for like an hour. As you know, I got to get my brain together. I got to get my arthritis together.

You mean if it's a stand. Because you're saying it's, oh, it's going to be a stand. We don't know what the situation is, though. Again, you have no idea. I was just happy to get an invite to something. Yeah. I think I was going to end up going anyway and try to figure it out. But my plan, here's what my original plan was,

because I do want to do this for Issa. Like I was like, y'all, I want her to see something like this in the city. I was going to go down to the beginning of the parade down at Battery Park. Because down at Battery Park, there's just like a little bit more space and you wouldn't have had to have been crammed in the blocks of Broadway.

Right? So my thought was, go down early like 8.30 a.m., right? 9 a.m. and be down there at battery park. Not a bad plan, but hopefully this is even better. You know, well, now it's better because I was going to not do the show. That was my plan. I was going to tell you guys I was going down there to the parade and I wasn't going to be on the show.

No, we'll be fine. And then I was going to say maybe I could call in. All right, well. A live hit. But now you don't need to be down there that early. Well, I don't because it doesn't start until 10 so we can go after the show. That's exactly. Yeah, yeah.

And King Louis is going to hit the streets. Oh, King Louis on the streets. What are you doing? He and Basqueam could hit the streets? Yeah. Where are you guys going to be at? We don't have to figure that out. Yeah.

Do we have like an ELR mic flag? We worked on it. We worked on all this. They will be wearing ELR merch so you can spot them. Do you know what I mean? Look for Lou and Basqueam down on the parade. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Shout out the show and the Knicks.

They're going to post on social media on their stories where they're at or where they're going to be at. Oh, I'll repost. Yeah, we're trying to be a city hall. So if we got connected. We haven't even been able to get a mom-doney interview. What connections we got? Yeah, now. Anyway, but they'll be in these streets.

Headlines heavy, but we still cut up. Light still flashing. We don't slow up. So Floyd Mayweather is currently facing two felony charges in Las Vegas for allegedly writing a $200,000 check to a luxury resale store with insufficient funds. Did you say Floyd Mayweather?

Yeah. Congratulations. You played yourself. Wait a minute. So he wrote a check and he had insufficient funds. But that doesn't mean that it was intentionally fraud, though. So, I mean, he could have. And who, first of all,

stop everything. Who the hell's writing checks in 2026? Some people do. But that to me is what's so. No, bro. No, that to me is what's so suss. Floyd Mayweather, the king of just as literally walks around

with a bag of cash. He sits at Lakers games in the front row with a bag of cash on his lap. And you're telling me, he wrote a chee was like, you know what, do you guys take a personal check? Let me go to my pocketbook. I mean, obviously,

if these people are coming for him, he probably did it. But that's, but my, he probably did it. And to Ebro's, he doesn't have money is my, my, my concern. That's what, that's what I'm saying. I don't think he has money. Well, Mr. Flesh money down the toilet? Well, didn't he just do a bunch of like real estate deals in New York? I see these headlines that he's doing.

I know. He's moving around with these. He's running around with Israel cats and doing real estate deals. I know. How does, what was happening? He's taking fights with Tyson and Paciow and anyone he can get a fight with. Which is actually those things are the things that make me believe he doesn't have money. Correct.

I'm adding it all up. I'm just. Yeah. I don't think. That would be, yo. Which is crazy. And we've heard for years that he's got a money management issue. That's a nice way of putting it.

That sounded very clean the way you just said. A money management issue. Yeah. When you're talking about that kind of money, that's a money management issue. How much? I can't just chalk that up to being an idiot. Like. Well, I think it's more than that.

I think it's a gambling issue also. Really? That's what I've heard. I've heard that he's gambling. I mean, he's betting millions and millions. He's walking to the sports book every day. He lives there and is going to the sports book and betting. I didn't know he was that.

I've heard of him doing big bets, but I didn't know it was like his money. Estimates put Floyd Mayweather's career earnings at roughly one to $1.2 billion. Oh, my God. Please say it again. Oh, my God. Congratulations. You play. There's so much money.

I heard he has a tax lien for like $8 million. They're saying something like that. I think you bro's right. It is money management. No, it's the combo. It's all. Yeah.

The gambling it. Yeah. That leads to the money management. Now you don't have money. Now you owe taxes. Now your lifestyle. You know what Floyd Mayweather's lifestyle cost to live? If you're not,

if you don't have the money coming in? The amount of security, the money team, the cars, the flying private, the multiple house and location, house and location. A location of Miami. Miami, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, it's just a lot, bro.

You got to be making a lot. Because I saw it with Tyson, even, who doesn't live like a maniac anymore, obviously. How expensive it was for him just to live life. Like, Mike isn't moving into a, you know, a one bedroom and driving the tourists. Right, right. It's just not how life works. Well, yeah, but see. But he did, but he does live in Florida.

When you're talking, okay, if you earned one point whatever billion, Okay, fighting. You're paying, we're going to call it 35% of that is going out the door to tax. Gone. Gone. You only have a, you have a measly $700 million, okay? Now you're on $700 million. My brain can't process because you're not, I mean, you could be doing loans on real estate, right, where you're doing it where you're mortgaging it, right?

So you're able to invest your money that makes money. and then pay the mortgage with your investment earnings and taxes and it kind of that money just makes money like you know what i don't say if you took just let's i don't get it i don't understand i don't understand just if he just took 30 million of his 700 and put it in like you know low yield lightweight easy investments but it's 30 million of it safely you're making just constant money every year. Lots of money continues to be made. And it grows and grows and grows and grows.

It makes no sense. You can't make sense. You know, 30 million in a money market account that's going to guarantee you 5%. You're making... It's a lot of money, bro. That's what I'm saying. And that's just a little piece that he put...

Let me just take 30 million aside. That's this. He may have never had... It's possible that the way these fights went over time and depending how much he spent, that he never at one day. time had more than like $50 million. That is possible because he might have always been

houses, cars, jewelry, gambling. Like all. How many kids is he out? And wives and stuff? I don't know. I just know one daughter. Yeah, yeah, but I don't know if he has more. No, he has more.

I don't know how many. Because that'll hit you. That'll hit you. And you're not going to, you don't get a return on the kids and wife investment until they're grown and make good decision. Five kids? Five kids. I was going to guess four biological one adopted.

Okay. Four biological one adopted. I was going to guess five. I'm proud of myself. Well, you're, and a grandson. You're one off in Burke. You know,

you're always good there. And I still would have technically been one off because one's adopted. Right. But they all can't, they're all those kids. Right. No, but that'll hit you.

Kids will hit you. Especially. What? Bro, my best friend has four kids. He's a therapist and his wife teaches music to children. No, no, no. You could survive.

No, but you're different. It's different. Because they all have to be rich. Well, yeah, they got to, you have to provide them. the same lifestyle and it's for it's the same it's not the same mom no how dare you how dare you sir suggest that it's all with the same woman suggest that it's not oh it's floyd mayweather well hey i got good news for floyd though it could always be worse you could wait what'd you say look two women

two women that's not crazy not crazy not crazy but anyway that's two separate households two separate houses and two separate things. So and it has to be at a certain level. Right. And then multiple. Plus whatever, if there was ever lawsuits. Nothing we're saying can make it make sense. I'm trying to wrap my brain around.

Hey, it could always be worse, Floyd. You could be Adrian Brunner. So. Congratulations. I mean, you played yourself. You could be on, you could be on kick or whatever social media platform, just groping women. That could be your entire life. That could be your brand.

It's just you grope women on kick. literally that's all that's all i ever see of adrian bruner so he's a talented fighter at something it's so sad bro and some of the things i see they're so disgusting the people who are also propping them up and putting them in this position like no one cares about this guy no one cares about this guy they've got him out here just looking absolutely yeah the only thing it just keeps ringing

in my head is the old adage it's not getting the money it's keeping it you know what I mean like it's not getting the job it's keeping the job It's not starting to, but you're still trying to, you're still trying to understand it. You can't. There's no way. It has to be, you know, you don't hear the stories about gambling addiction. Yes.

But we're regular people blew 500,000 or a million. So imagine if you're not regular and money's always been a joke. You're like, yo, I'll plan one fight. My payday for that fight's 30 million. I could bet 15 right now. Well, no, here's why. Here's why, man. It's right.

Right, but here's why. Right. So people who have a certain level of wealth, They have financial planners or advisors or whatever the things are. They have accountants. Those individuals make money when you make money. That's how they make money. Why would they let you when you have this much money blow through your money?

I mean, unless he doesn't listen. Of course, not that they can't stop you. They can't stop you from doing craziness. But you would just feel like it would behoove them to figure out ways to make more money with the money he's like I'll just book another fight I'll be fine flip it's it's it's sad man it is really sad Floyd has never look we be honest though Floyd in decisions have never it's never been great boxing great his box is in ring ability his decisions in the ring can't just say all his decision well

you know it was like you know his defensive decision yeah yeah phenomenal with duck phenomenal swing no he's got those decisions on lock he's been great at it but life decisions have been a lot of story and we were to go back and dig up all the mayweather stories it's not great bro yeah Laura what else you got yeah it looks like diddy's release date has been adjusted by a few months again and now he has a date of February 23 2028 got a it was because of a program that he did Laura I want to know in your brain when you see a diddy headline about getting out of jail in 2028 and we're in 2026 I want to know why you that's a story to be just the simple fact that he's coming home a little earlier and that the

dates have been pushed a little bit little if i was in jail right now and you told me i was coming home in 2028 i wouldn't feel like it was soon i've never been in jail but you know what i'm saying and before this did he hasn't either so i'm not sure he thinks it soon hey listen if it was a june and then in february i'll take it yes no of course my point is it's just not a new talk to max b This is quick. This is a, this is light work. Light.

He did 17. Yo, man, I was just in L.A. Yo, hearing Max B on the radio in L.A. is wow. I was wondering this week if that record's big out there.

It's big everywhere. French Montana and Max B have a certified smash all up. Super hit. Super. On the radio. Yo,

we are going to start giving French his A&R credit. You know what I mean? Absolutely. Like no one's ever. Book them on the show. We're going to do a whole. whole conversation

I had him recently and he said they were absolutely down. They were parting for Max's birthday and he was like after that, I'm down. I want to just talk to them about because the last time I spoke to them at Apple Music, obviously none of this had happened yet. Everybody loved

the song. But it wasn't in the NBA finals as the song being played in the thing. And French was everywhere for the NBA finals. Yo, they're on first take, bro. Max B. Do people, like Max B? Are we processing this? correctly we're not

Max P. was facing 70-something years. He got out in 17 and within months him and French are on Sports Center. Yeah, and French has been beside him the entire time.

Like, I just think, listen, for somebody to say like, my loyal friend, well, there you go, you have one. Brough. It's pretty incredible guy. I sit back sometimes in Marvel that this whole thing happening.

And Max's character, You were off. You were on one of your trips when we were talking something about Max because we were playing the clips of him on Gileon Wallow. Yo, his laugh, bro. So funny. And I don't know who the tandem is for him.

Maybe it's just them together, but I think they would need someone else. Max on a podcast at some point. I don't think they go that route. I'll be honest. You just keep making hits? No, they do that, but I think the route they go is red meth.

And they go out here and make a movie. Max in a movie would be funny, bro. Max and friends. French and whatever it is. I don't know what they're what they're going to red meth, French and Mac whatever it and they do some sort of like I don't know what it'll say you know like buddy buddy comedy Oh buddy a buddy cop movie now you've gone too far but now it is incredible but they can be like corrupt cops and you know what I'm saying Speaking of corrupt I saw a video moving around from a few weeks ago that we missed of Snoop and dads beefing with each other you said

All right guys it's not great the family beef let's not do that What, Louis? There's at least one time a week where Rosenberg brings up some random 19-19-hip hip-hop. That was a nice now. Snoop's not random. Thank you. Snoop is definitely not random. You don't see this every day, folks.

But he got there because I said the word corrupt. That's the random. And then he went to the rapper corrupt, which then took him to Snoop and Das. Corrupt's not even involved. Nope. That is correct. He followed my path. Speaking of, and speaking.

Speaking of Dazin, Corrupt, let's move over a little bit to Long Beach. This morning, I got the full time with the Vince album. No, let me tell you something. Ebro talks a lot. He's, I just have you heard this album? He's so into music with the Apple thing. I can't, I don't have as much time. It's part of his job.

I don't have the time. Today I got the hit play at the beginning headphones. Vince dropped a masterpiece, man. A masterpiece, I gotta listen. It's, it's the, I was sitting there listening. I'm like, what? in the public enemy. Yes.

Beastie Boys, bad brains. Fugazi. Yes. Outcast. I mean, it's, he really did it. Like, you know what I? It's well done. It's so well produced.

It's. And he's rapping. Oh, yes. It's rap. But, you know, not the way she's saying it, though. He's not rapping. He's rapping. No, he's rapping.

Because he's, because it's a rock record. Yeah. It's a punk record. But he's still rap it on a punk record. Yeah, he's not. singing. He didn't start singing. It's like he's no, he's definitely still rapping. But he found a, this is like maybe, it's such a sweet spot for him. He sounds so good on it vocally and the shit he's talking like real life America. KKK, you know, talk. And so the project's called cry baby. Okay.

On the cover is a white baby crying. Okay. And the whole album is about basically the, I'll call it a paradox, if you will, of cry babies, people complaining about a dynamic that we exist in society. And the people complaining are the ones who are the ancestors of the people who created the dynamic. That's correct. And that is literally what's happening. That's the whole thing. The whole anti-D-EI.

The people complaining, y'all create, your people created this. Fire. But that's what's literally happening right now. That's what the whole anti-D-EI is, bribated. Yeah. The whole thing. It's so freaking good all the way through it.

And you know what part I loved? I loved, because I was always annoyed. We talked about this. I was always annoyed that cop shot the kid by Nas and Kanye never felt complete to me. Oh, he'd sampled it again. And he chopped it again. And he used it right. Like he used it right to me.

Because cop shot the kid by Nas and Kanye should have been awesome. But it was that period where I felt Kanye was just not seen. records through. And I was like, there was something not finished. It didn't, it sounded unfinished. The way he flipped it is so fire. And I have to look in the comments right now and say, this is from the guy who said the J. Cole has no skips. Am I never going to live this now?

It was early. Okay. I was excited for an album. Crybaby's only like 12 records. No, cry baby's definitely no skips. It's very, it's 39 minutes, something like that. Yeah. Congrats, Vince. Like, what a yo, the TV show was awesome. They ended the TV show. It's very hard to keep going in

TV and get third, fourth, fifth season, but the TV show is freaking great. And that was its own social commentary. And now he does this album, which is commentary. This is a guy who just never compromised himself in any way. Oh, and I also thought of Mac Miller listening to it. Because thinking about how close him and Mac are, Mac being the other rapper from that era who was able to authentically go to other music without it sounding like, oh, you're ditching hip hop to try to go do something new.

No, it was a natural evolution musical. Well, it's also like hip hop, what you're going to hear on this Vince Staples album, those of y'all that are going to go check and have the time. It's not a departure. If you're knowledgeable about hip hop, it's not a departure from anything that we've ever heard or felt in hip hop. And certainly not a departure from black music. At all. This is exciting.

I think you're really, I think you're really going to dig it. It's very themed, though. Okay. And by the way, the other thing that, remember, you are, you were outside doing things you weren't supposed to be doing. at a very young age, at a time when the Long Beach punk kind of skate thing was happening. He's from Long Beach, which has a great history of punk bands and, like, you know, that kind of hip-hop punk scene. So that whole, like, you know, the way you get to no doubt through bad brains is through the punk sky hip-hop thing. Correct, correct, correct, right.

So this is in that. No, I feel so natural. It feels so. Yeah, it's, no, I'm glad you brought up the other day because I went and listened. right away, but I wasn't in the mood sonically. So when I heard like guitars and stuff, I was like, ah, I'm not, it wasn't where I was at right now. I'm listening to Lloyd, get it shorty.

You know, I'm in a different spot. But today, today I had time. I love it. All right, that's the rundown, because I want to get to a guru. We owe them. Yes, we owe them. People are being like, where is the guru?

Okay. Yo, Vince just texting me back. That's crazy. This morning, he's up. Right now. I hit him a couple hours ago. I'm like, yo, this shit's a master. It's a masterbees, but it was mad early out there.

Yeah. But I'm going to tell him that he should listen to what we just did because he should be proud of it, man. Absolutely. Absolutely. All right. Let's breathe in. Wait, wait, wait.

We got an intro for this. We got, you know what I'm saying? We're prepared. We got to set this off. The gurus. Hey, yo, it's the top of the gurus. Rosenberg. It's all right.

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

Burn the sage, Ebro. 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 Leotin 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.

years old, Leotene Price remains a symbol of excellence, discipline, grace, and artistic greatness worldwide. Black Music Month Amplified Voices is sponsored by AARP.

Rosenberg, who's out there? Who needs us? Who's been waiting for us? The original gurus at gmail.com.

The original gurus at gmail.com. Your destination for clarity. All right, sorry, guys. We haven't done a lot, so we're going to try to make it up to you with some good ones. Good morning, ELR. First of all, I just want to say, I'm so proud of y'all.

You're making this thing happen. Despite all the adversities. We see you. We support you. Thank you. Thank you. Now, get into the nitty-gritty. I'm a 35-year-old mama three.

17, 16, and a 20-month-old, aka almost two. That is a gap right there, boy. My oldest, the 17-year-old just graduate of high school. Yes, I was young, it happens. I'm so proud of him, man, kids these days. For context, the first 14 years of his and his brother's life, I was a single mother until I met the love of my life,

who came in and accepted my boys as his own. Now, my son, has struggled extremely bad with ADHD like myself and learning. Setback since he was four years old and he and refuses to medicate, but I digress. Anyways, he had zero plan for after high school and I'll be damned if he lives at home as a grown man working a BS job playing video games with no real direction in life. So we as a family came up with the Navy as an option. He joined junior ROTC or ROTC of some sort in high school and everything.

Well, three ASVA B tests later and he still cannot get a high enough score to get in. He turns 18 in a couple of weeks, happy birthday and then can take the test again. This is where I feel like a bad mom because it's get a good enough score to enlist or you're 18 and you've got to figure your life out just not from home. As a mom, I don't fully agree, but as a wife to a Jamaican man, I have to back this. I'm struggling and need some words of wisdom or even just validation. Ebro, you aren't a guru, so hush, ha ha. Thank you for getting to this one.

I appreciate y'all and everything. You do keep up the greatness y'all bring from a mom between a rock and a hard spot. Man, the last couple of sentences in there really took the whole thing and shifted what we're talking about, in my opinion, a lot because it went from

you're not going to be in this house to my husband says you're not going to be in this house, which does change the conversation. It sounds like mom's not all the way in on it. No, and it's not his dad. Right. And remember, she was a single mom the first 14 years

before meeting the love of her life who she now has a 20-month-old with. Their dynamics going on here that are real. Well, I just want to say, whatever's going on between years, and that's her oldest, son. Yes. The oldest son and the new husband. Whatever that is, if there is, needs to be dealt with cleaner than just you're not going to be here.

Of course. Right. And she didn't say the son was doing anything. Did she? Did I miss that? No. No. Is the son doing something other than just getting older and taking up space? She just didn't want him home playing video games. She doesn't want that. And I wonder if it's like the husband has been like, I don't want him home playing video games. So, so she's trying to figure out like if he can't, he hasn't passed the test, right?

He's going to turn 18. We're going to try again. What happens if he doesn't? I don't know. And it's so funny. When I read the subject to this email, I thought it was going to be the mom panicking because her son wants to join the Navy. That was where I thought it was going based on like the subject,

like my almost Navy son. Turns out that's not the case. at all, which is fine. She's supportive of this and thinks it's a good idea, which is cool. But to your guy's point, like, I don't know, is it, is it good? I'm asking legitimately, completely in earnest. Is it good to just decide you can't be 18 and be in the house? No. Because living here in the tri-state, I don't know where they live. Here in the tri-state, particularly in the boroughs and North Jersey, 18 does not mean leave the house. People live in their houses in New York until they're 25 years old.

Like it's very, very good. But also, but also, you know, that's why I said it needs to be cleaner than just like, yo, you got to get out. You're 18. I think it needs to be more sophisticated than that. I wonder. Like, because he might be depressed. He's not passing a test.

He's doing, he's attempting to do something. She's always struggling with learning stuff. That's not going well. Yeah. And he's not getting the like upliftment and support. He's getting like, yo, what are you doing? Take the test again.

Take the test again. Why are you on the couch playing a video game? He's likely depressed, bro. He likely needs more support than just, you know, tough love. I wonder, does he really want to go to the Navy? Is this something that he wants to do? Because I didn't hear that he was okay with it. I heard her pushing him to do this.

Well, but this is why I'm saying this one's deeper than rap. Yeah. Because now you're telling me at the end, I'm between a rock and a hard place. I live with a Jamaican man, which by the way, not all Jamaican men have a line in the sand of you must leave house at 18, but that's your Jamaican man but now you're telling me that's actually coming from the husband who's been around three years met him as a teenager this is not an ideal situation I know because it

sounds he just wants him out and by the way where is real dad is real dad completely out of the picture because maybe this is a place where he could be helpful she didn't mention him so I'm assuming I'm assuming as well but but again I also assumed it the whole time so I got to the end that this was her wish Are you sure that it's best for your son? Like isn't there a world in which okay, he doesn't get into the Navy? Because she even said, guys, this is what I thought was very harsh. To Iro's point about not being that sophisticated. She was like, you're not just going to work some dead end job and stay here and play video games.

So you're saying even if he has a job, he's only 18. He has to be at a firm, like he can't just get a job somewhere. I think she needs to email us back because I also want to put this out there. So your 14-year-old son Who you are a single parent of But there's three kids Yes 14 what's the other one 17 we're talking about the 17 year We're talking about the 17 17 17 14 and two

And a baby two so your 17 year old son Who was basically your ace because you know that mom's son Relationship thing is the first one The first one he's feeling like he's the man at the house Whether he acted like it or not He's feeling like that's my mom. I'm the oldest. I'm backing my mom up.

We got this. New dude shows up. Has that energy been resolved? Have you actually talked to your son who's 18 about how that made him feel in that moment? Now, he may, you know, dudes ain't really great at expressing feeling. He might, no, I'm good. You know, I'm good, man. You know, ain't anything.

Or he didn't say nothing at all and you didn't ask. All on the table. All of it, all of it. And so now he's 18, and he's looking around like, yo, my mom really just. Wants me out? Or my mom really just took this dude and now I'm, I got to get it. Do your mom ever get a serious man?

No. And when she tried to date, you and your brother were terrible, right? Yo, who this? Hey, yo, so a, bro at the door. Oh, God. And so the point that she never, she never even developed into a full relationship. Yes. So that's not healthy either.

No, it's of course not. But like, we were giants though, bro. Yeah, and she had, I was a giant at 12. I'm like five, nine, 170 pounds. But I can imagine you're a kid and you're, and it's your mama and it's just you guys. Yeah. And you love on your mom. Like you love her.

And now there's a new dude who she's gushing to us in the email like, and then I met the love of my life. So you can only, sorry, not to be disrespectful. That's great for you. But you can imagine from the viewpoint of the sun, you were the love of her life. And now there's some, you know, big Jamaican dude in the house. Like, yo, Wagwan, what you got to do today? Kick making him get a job. And there's a new kid.

And then they had a baby. Yeah. It sounds to me. So he could be depressed. He could be heartbroken. And then just turning 18 and parents, uh, I know, you know, men don't articulate themselves well if they haven't been raised that way. Turning 18 as a young man is scary as hell.

It's scary, bro, because people are talking to you like you're supposed to have everything figured out and you know nothing. Guys, guys today, literally today, my nephew is traveling to Japan. He's 18 just graduated. He went on this school trip, but it's a small trip with like 12 kids. They do it every couple years. and the plans at the airport, I've been texting with them all morning, everything's gone, hey, why,

we're not going to make the first flight. Some kids got to get on this flight. Some kids got, anyways, I talked to my brother. He calls my brother, and he's like, well, you know, I don't really, I'm anxious, you know, I'm not exactly sure what's happening because, like, there's only one adult

and blah, blah, and my brother's like, no, no, Alex, you're the adult. You're an adult. You got this. And I was thinking, he's a boy. He's at the airport. Like, I've never even been at the airport, myself like I'm going to Japan so to your point it's scary man and and I don't know look I'm

sure in some communities and households and cultures they give you know boys grace but a lot of them clearly in this email you have people who are like you're 18 now yeah figure it out it sounds like the husband wants to start a new life I don't like with the wife and the baby you know what I mean like that's what it sounds like I think she needs to be honest about that with herself yeah yeah yeah and look if the Navy's not a thing because the Navy is easy for them because he goes. He's out of the house. But why not work on him of something he actually is passionate about? Put him in a trade school. You know what I mean? Put him something that's going to lead him to a better opportunity in life. That's not a dead end job. But you have to continue to

support him. You cannot just dump him at the Navy. Like I don't agree with that, man. I don't. But it seems like we need we need an update, right? We want some more answers. And hopefully, you know, you guys can figure this out but I want to add this too because Laura you said dump him at the name okay not dump him but that's what I feel no no no but there is a world where you do have to go look I love you this is going to be very hard

it is very hard for me and but this is going to make you stronger we're going to make this leap together and it's got to feel like I got you back we're in this together Let's lock in. Let's go. It can't feel like get out. It definitely can't feel like Hey baby. I'm sorry. He wants you to go like we need a follow-up email where you can let us know what that dynamic is with the husband. And be honest. Yeah, there may be a situation where you need to step up to

This husband and be like, hey, I love you, but you can't just show up here and dictate exactly how everything's going to go for my son. Well, they also might be living in his house and he might have also been talking about this for three or four years. And he might have also been like, look, if y'all going to move into my house, this is what I expect at 18. Like some of this stuff may have been talked about for years, too. And 14 to 17 is still super developmental years, bro. Like, that's still your baby.

And things changed. You had major changes happen. So it all needs to get addressed, man. He's a kid. This is, I don't want to make her feel bad or overly worried. But these are critical times. Yes. and critical decisions.

So send us an update. Good luck and God bless you. So say the gurus. Oh, we got a therapist who paid $20 to say something. Okay. Go ahead. Therapist. Electric lady says therapist here.

If his ADHD is impacting his ability to focus and be successful, they should explore ADHD medication. I understand the resistance to medication, but it can be very helpful. Also get him into therapy. Okay. There you go. It sounds like she's not resistant.

into it, it sounds like the kid is. So. Any more Super Chats? You can still let the music. Okay. Yes, there were a bunch, actually. Damn. Watch your mouth when talking about my Jets.

Sorry. Who's that? That was Jaya Weekend. I know, Joe, Jai Weekend, look, I know Rosenberg can apologize and say sorry. But not. But also, stop it. You need to start talking about your Jets more freely

because that is a trash organization. Please talk about why that rubber is is being given a pass when it's clearly AI slop. The rubber song is the one I played for you yesterday. Oh, that's what you played me? Yes. Wait, time out. First of all, Phoenix Flexing is from, what's the crew?

Mafia. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I don't think it's AI slop. I don't think it's. Yeah, I think it's him. I think it's him. And it's also a rip on putting on the rits kind of. Yeah, or a new wave-ish.

Yeah, you can't just call everything AI slop. You may not like it. But that doesn't mean to say I stopped. And it's novelty or whatever, but people are loving it right now. That's just a cute song. I'm an interviewer. Phoenix Flex. Tina Chrissy just sent us 20 bucks, so she's nice.

Evelyn Vieira sent us 10 bucks. Thank you, Evelyn, Tina. Spring, just Spring says, do Ibro or Rosenberg have playlist they share or update anywhere? I need new music. I don't even understand Apple Radio. Well, look, for new music, you can go into the search function on the Apple app and type in Ibro-Darden playlist. I have a whole playlist. That just continues up to. I always update it. Nice. And I

on my Instagram put up my playlist to my Shade 45 radio show every week. It's on Rosenberg Radio. And I also put the shows up on MixCloud. And you can find those as well. The other thing you can do, too, is just say Ask Siri to play Apple Music 1 and it'll just the radio just pop on. Bam.
