My name is McKenzie, and I started to go fund me for the adoptive mother of a non-verbal autistic child, the mother had lost her job because she wasn't able to find adequate care for this autistic child. So she really needed some help with living

expenses, paying some back bills. So I launched a GoFundMe to help support them during this crisis. And we raised about $10,000 within just a couple of months. think that the surprising thing was by telling a clear story and just like really being very clear about what we needed, we had some really generous donations from people who were really moved by the situation that this family was struggling with. GoFundMe is the world's number one fundraising platform trusted by over 200 million people. Start your Gofund me today at gofundme.com. That's gofund me.com. This podcast is supported by Gofund me.

Water.

It's a Rozenberg show. That's right. We're here 8 a.m. checking in for duty in the midst of a nurse strike. Yeah. Which will delve into. Mom, Donnie, was out with the nurses. So that's a good idea for Mom Donnie. I like this.

And then you got the rich folk that run the hospitals. Laura will report on the lies. The lies. The lies. The lies they're trying to push. The lies they're being told. I know. I know.

Listen, man, the billionaire class, y'all got to chill out, B. Y'all really got to relax. Stop being so damn greedy. Well, not only that- Well, how do you think they got to being billionaires? They're not going to stop now. Well, no, you're right, Rosenberg. But also, stop lying.

Like, the whole, is it the jig? The jig is up? It's the jig is up, yeah. The jig is up. Because nobody believes you. You need more. people and you can't just pay for it anymore. Like there's no reason that nurses are struggling and CEOs of hospitals in New York City are making $26 million.

$15 million. And nurses are just asking for basic things. When I'm going through the bullet points of things they're on strike for, it's mind blowing. It's just basic things. That's usually how it is. You get nothing without a fight. You get nothing without a few. letters. You know what I mean? You need some letters. You need to stand your ground. You need to,

you know, wait a little bit. But yeah, the nurses were outside, man. It's the biggest, I think they're saying this is the biggest nurse strike in New York City history, right? I read that too. That's not what you want, by the way. It's not good, right? If the nurses are outside, that means there's a problem inside. Correct. If the nurses are outside, what's going on inside? This is not what you want. So I didn't know much about this until last night. I didn't see the first thing about it until like last night. Yeah. But no, that is absolutely not what you want. Yo, can you

imagine, yo, and especially people are already struggling with health care costs. So you've got the health care cost situation crazy. Nurses are on strike. And don't we have like one of the worst flu seasons we've seen since

I don't know. Yeah. The, you know, the black plague or something. Based on my personal experience and interaction is people are just sick everywhere. So yeah. Yeah. I still haven't figured out my situation. I get my kit today, my mold kit. Well, you know what it sounds like of well, two things. One, nurse strike hit the button. Oh, I wasn't ready, but I have congratulations. You plagued yourself. Rosenberg may have likely moved into a mold ridden new apartment.

Oh, I hope. Congratulations. You played yourself. No, I really hope not, bro. I know I'm hitting you with the button, but it literally, I've seen people get, um, reoccurring respiratory issues for years for living in Moldy apart. Well, I'll tell you this, Rosenberg. If, if in fact, it's positive, you have a reason to break your lease and get the hell out of there. Well, that's facts. So, so, of course, now we kind of like it and we're kind of good, but it is what it is.

It's so if it comes up positive, here's the question I have. They're going to say we can fix it, right? Well, it depends. there's levels to the game. I think, honestly, if your little home test comes up positive, higher professional. Mm-hmm. And then you have a baby in the house. You got to go. Which is a whole other level. Yes. So we got to go. You can raise hell. I mean, at this point, we've been here a month. So we get up. Are you unpacked? Yes. Hit the button. No, no. No, I don't think. No, it's not like a, no, but it's not like a. Congratulations. You play.

He's right. Listen, there would be no way around it. If, if, because there's been a series of things that were, we didn't like about the building. It's hard to explain why we rushed here, but it's a long story. But then there was a series of things. And, you know, but then it's been mostly good. But then last night, for example, I went to go take my dog out before bed at 10.30. Okay. All right.

Both elevators were out. Nah, bro. Congratulations. You played just. What floor are you on? Eighth. Oh, you're like me. That's my biggest pet pee.

And then the stairs are like, there are stairs right there. Like the stairs are open in our building. It's like you see the stairs when you walk into the lobby. It's a big staircase. They're incredibly steep. So like it's not, first of all, my dog's 15. He literally couldn't do it.

I mean, no joke, Bear couldn't do it. So I would have to carry him. Carry him. But that wouldn't be safe. So I'd probably have to like put him in a duffel bag and carry so i woke up this morning and i um i walked out and they were both working i went down to the trash room to throw away some trash and i saw two guys there one of which was a lovely listener who said hello to me but i said what do you guys doing here they said fixing the elevator and i asked i said what happened they said it must just been something tripped the power went out to

both of them it wasn't a danger just some sort of power thing happened but i was like i don't like this though. Congratulations you plagued yourself. So, listen, if the mold test is the thing, I guess we'll just get up and get out, which would be a huge pain in the ass, but I'm not going to have my daughter in a place that's not safe. Exactly. Exactly.

No, the button one more time. I'm sure. No, but, Ebro, it's New York. Congratulations. You play yourself. I'm sure the landlords can't just, you know, do whatever they want. They'd have to, I'm sure, be responsible, right? Well, you have a new mayor who's attempting to hold them responsible.

Has he had success yet? I don't know. Are all of his systems set up where, I mean, they do have a person that you're in office you can go to now and make a complaint about the building. Yeah, it's all new. Can you find Mom Donnie's, get us the name of Mom Donnie's person that you're supposed to complain to about your building?

Oh, okay. It's all new, but he's, that's exactly why he's been so passionate about that because forever, I can't even say for years. Right. People in New York have been dealing with these issues. Well, here's the other interesting piece. And worse. I assume your building is not to your standards.

However, I'm sure it's not as bad as some other buildings in the New York City area. Well, that's the thing. I mean, so you're probably not at the emergency level of them coming to check on your building. I would imagine that. But what it could be very helpful is, like if, for example, if God forbid there is mold and I'm like I got to get my child up here out of immediately

yo the building should be responsible for paying your moving cost the building should be responsible for a lot at that point I mean you think so they they sign the thing that said no mold in my there's a special form in New York apartment yeah yeah you're right it says no

mold so if you were in if they were knowingly or unknowingly endangering my family that's not a lot lawsuit but i hear you listen you know what i'm not going to jump ahead we're going to figure it out we got plans well we got plans uh speaking of uh please subscribe to ebro laura rozenberg right here on the on the youtube or you can um you know obviously uh put the notification on as well and and get updates as soon as we go live or new content premieres on ebro laura rozenberg we also

I'll give you all of it. So, you know, a couple of different things. Riri made a comment on social media that everybody melting down. I'll let you know what it is later on. Mary J. Blige made a huge announcement. I'm very happy about this. And I don't know if you guys saw the Joel Santana car accident situation. I did not. What happened with Juel?

He's okay, but you know, we'll talk about it later on. Nah, but you know, I got to do things right when I think about them. Are you guys at that stage of your life? Where if you don't do it right when you think about it, it'll pop, like you'll forget it's gone. Yeah. I mean, listen, we all washed. We're all washed out here. It's facts. Yeah. Yes. Speaking of watch really quickly, guys, yesterday, bro. I mean, I guess this is,

should probably save this for family matters, but Kenzo was throwing up like a crazy person yesterday. Oh, man. You got something in the house. That's a bug. Yes. I mean, out of nowhere. It was just like project. Exorcist. Exorcist.

You already know, Ebro. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, man, broke our hearts. Me and Ricardo were going nuts on cleanup and then, you know, washing her up. And it's just, ugh. Damn. Fever, too? No fever.

No fever. Tummy ache. Don't know. She had been saying that her tummy was a little off. And I think she, she's been going to the bathroom. Okay, she dropped a deuce. So it's coming out both in. Something's working.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. She seems really good right now. Like this morning she was good. Maybe it was just like a little, you know, 24-hour jam. I hope. I hope it was just something that wasn't. Are you keeping her home from school? Are you one of those parents that don't really know what's going on?

So you're just going to send her back in and hope for the best. Yep, there she goes. Off to school. She seems okay now. She's good. I asked her. Just spread whatever disease she's walking around with back into the school. No, do you think it's irresponsible?

Because she's fine this morning. Like, I checked. And I was like, are you good? She was like, yeah, I want to go to school. She was good energy. If there's no fever, if there's no fever and she was just yacking, it could have been something she ate. That doesn't sound like.

Right? That's what I thought. That's what I thought. Laura, I just wanted to blame you for all the other parents who send their kids to school just snot running down. I don't do that. Big giant cough, just, uh, I've seen it. I mean, there were my child, Iber when I, when I jump up. You're like, yo, who sent you in here like this?

I'm a judgeer. I'm like, ew, I want to I guess what happens. I guess parents get to a certain point at times. You take care of them for a couple days. If people can't miss work anymore, they're like, ah, you seem good enough. Pack some tissues and go home, go in.

I mean, listen, guys. It's that. It's also the pediatrician says, oh, they're not contagious anymore. Right. Snots flying out of the state. And also, that's not front, guys. We all, when I remember my history,

I definitely remember the days when I had a pocket full of tissues and it was a long day. Oh, no, I used to walk around red man style. Yeah. But you had, you had, allergy problems. And we're not even allergy problems. If I was sick, I had asthma as a kid growing up. I was a disaster.

I got hit up my doctor. Why? My E&T, because I just want to ask him if I should get. Well, no, it's bitch hasn't been going away. So like, yes, I'm going to do the mold test today, but I think there's a good chance that'll come up negative. And then it's just why have I been on and off sick for three weeks? And I don't want it to lead to me losing my voice again.

So I think my guy who's like an E&T, him taking a look is probably a good idea. That's the responsible thing to do. You know, I talked to my therapist yesterday. She picked up the phone. I swear to God, she sounded like this. I was like, I can still talk if you don't mind. You're like, you're like you shouldn't be talking. So I know.

So at the time, though, I'm already in the car. I was moving, you know, now I don't have a parking garage anymore. So I'm already in my car like waiting for a spot. I was like, well, I'm happy to talk if you still want to listen. And I was like, but I'm going to be honest, doctor, you shouldn't be talking. And the times that she would weigh in and she'd be like, I'm like, you know what? You just, I don't need your advice this week. No, I don't.

Go ahead and be a sounding board. We don't need it. You're like, I'm good this way. This is not helping me. This is actually freaking me out. No, there's things going on out here, guys. The streets are not good. No, the streets is, it's a mess outside.

There's blood in the water, as they say. Yeah. Here we are. It's blood in the water. Now Rosenberg, I noticed yesterday on yesterday's program, we started talking about Trump's dementia. And every time I bring up Trump's dementia, either publicly or privately, you seem to fade. I saw Cory Booker post something on his Instagram. No, I don't fade.

I don't fade. I have mixed feelings on it in that I don't know how much it is yet impacting what's going on. It's almost like, for lack of a better word, like, you know, it's almost like the hope of people who are against. Trump, meaning people with free will and spirit, that this will be the end and we can get out of this, God willing. Well, now, and that we will be honest. Well, if you go from Trump's out early, you go to J.D. Vance. Yeah. That ain't going to. You know what? I've started to think that used to scare me. These, these other cats, they're not going to hit the same. They're not going to, they don't, Ebro, they don't get the people going. That's the thing. Like, that's the, we cannot remove that part from Trump.

Yeah, but, but it's part of it. Yeah. Okay. There is that. I'll give you that. But there's also like the fact that I believe the JD Vances and the people who financed them like the Peter Thiel's Palantier and all these billionaire tech bros are even more dangerous. I think so too. And the people that are already in power. And I think Trump's may be tied to some old school cats and lets them, you know, maneuver him in some ways to get to the money. You know what I mean? I do think that Trump kind of, if his brain is working, has a mind of his own at times.

I 100% agree and I felt this way for a long time. Yeah. That as evil as Donald Trump is, he is not as evil as Vance, Miller, or your point, these other ones who aren't even in power. And because he's a wild animal, you know what I mean? And is down to just randomly go,

you know what? I changed my mind. His free will has probably at times randomly saved us from things getting even worse. Yeah. Because he's a wild card and they can't totally hold him down. J.D. Vance, will be owned by whoever needs to own him.

100% already. Already. 100%. No, no, no. It's already done. It's done. He's not going to have the Kajunas to be like, nah, I don't do that.

Trump has this false sense of he knows everything where he will push back. I do, that part does scare me. Well, anyway, the reason I bring that up is because I also feel like there's people who don't want to point to Trump's dementia because it feels like a replay of what just happened to Biden. And it feels cheap. It feels like, so you. you guys just going to go with the man is old and the same way they went they did the same thing

with biden well but the truth of the matter isn't the brides i point that out is because he is old he plays younger and we've talked about this for for years he plays younger than biden the way he talks and moves but that's not hard right exactly that part but how much younger is is trumped and biden two years four years something like that's two i think He's about B-80, right? Yeah. Two years, Griff says. Yeah, he's, no, no, he's old.

He's, he's very old as well, and it could be a thing that, you know, his, his health is clearly not great. We know that. The man, the man lives off of, like, hot dogs and diet Coke, okay? He's not. Don't forget, don't forget the many, many, many, many French fries. I just, I guess I just don't, I care about it. I pay attention to it, but, like, I'm just not going to. to do, you know, to me, I don't think it's going to save us at this point.

So I just don't spend too much energy on it. I got too much concern about the Gestapo walking into people's houses, you know. I'm glad you brought up to Gestapo. I saw a post of a woman talking about that this ice thing, while we're calling it a Gestapo, because I think, you know, it's more recent history for people. The Gestapo going door to door in the night, snatching people out, neighbors disappearing, all those things. ICE is actually according to people on the internet

more like slave catchers than they are like the Gestapo interesting and basing that on just how they get signed up who are these people well did slave catchers like sign up slave catchers would just like sign up I'm down these weren't well trained individuals

and they lured them with like a nice chunk of change yeah and then they're like here's your training is probably like a one hour video you got this and then you have incentives for the more you catch the more you get yes whereas the gustavo was a fully trained military gustavo was a little bit more locked in now you mentioned yesterday the guy that has shot murdered rene good this guy's well trained oh yeah he's not he's no johnny come lately he's been around which makes it worse yeah i i just what what really upsets me is i know people people, there are people, there are Jews, there are other minorities who watch the videos and stuff.

And these aren't like evil people or anything. These are people who have just like been slowly co-opted and lost sight of humanity whose attitude is just like, well, why don't you just do what they say? Yeah. Yeah. And so, see what I'm saying is, and when they say that, they're not coming from like some malicious, terrible place, but they're just not seeing,

how are you not seeing this? Why don't you just do what they say? If we all just do what they say. I mean, I'm, I am so thankful for the brave people in these cities like Minneapolis who are not under the threat of ice, who are showing up and making this job hell.

Like these are, these are brave, incredible special Americans who are out there fighting for their fellow man and woman to make this harder. Right. And just like during abolition and the civil rights era, guess what the white supremacists do? Kill them also. Well, as we just saw. How many videos have you seen of like U.S. citizens being roughed up, beat up, and then pleading like, yo, there was this one video that I saw. I was a black American who was like telling him what hospital he was born, like just running down a proof of any kind that he's an American citizen. So after they basically slammed him against the wall and beat him up,

then they were like, they check his stuff and they're like, all right, you could go after the trauma and the violence. All right, you could go. And you don't have a Department of Justice. You have no recourse right now. You have zero recourse. There will be lawsuits, though, against the federal government. There will be payouts. There will be payouts. There will be payouts. Right now they're counting the dead, right? That's starting to move around late last night of people posting the names of all of the individuals killed by ICE. I think we're in the 30s. Yeah, right now it's the 30s.

And then you have videos. Rassan, run the video of the ICE officer like this that are hitting the internet yesterday. Shame on you. Listen, have y'all not learned from the past couple of days? Have you not learned? Learned what? What's our lesson here? What do you want us to learn?

Following federal in. Haven't you learned your lesson? Haven't you learned from the past couple days? Now, a slave catcher was a person employed to track down and return to escape slaves to their enslavers, primarily, obviously in the United States, before the abolition of slavery. These individuals were part of slave patrol system and often recruited by southern planters to control the enslaved population. The role of the slave, slave catchers became particularly contentious. in the lead up to the American Civil War, especially after the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850

requires citizens and law enforcement to aid in capturing runaway slaves. So the sign up of citizens in this participation of tracking down and capturing individuals, Gestapo was a, I don't think it was citizens who were signing up to the Gestapo. It was military. It was like, it was military.

And, and on top of that, they were just going door to door, snatching people up and snatches people out and people were disappearing. Right. And so J.D. Vance, I don't know if we ever played his video, just did an interview talking about them ramping things up and going door to door. Yeah. That's where we are.

Hit the button. And, and, and, you know, oh, sorry, that's me on the button. Congratulations. You played yourself. We're not far off. you know from it being they got to pick a group first right they had they had

they the safest group for them was foreign born in theory in their made up theory foreign born illegal and dangerous yeah that was the line right they're foreign they're illegal

and they're the quote worst of the worst we know that to be patently fault just this Statistics don't back that up whatsoever. But now it's becoming, oh, naturalized citizens. We're going to look at that. Yep.

Eventually, it will be people like us. People who are speaking out openly against the government. It's not that far a slide before Mark Ruffalo. And that's the thing, you bro. Cats are brave now to speak up on a really big stage. This is all, everything's a risk right now. I'm not going to lie I'm Mark Ruffalo who did it

on a huge platform and the whole world's posting about it it's a very scary thing man and this could happen and that's why when people say why don't you just listen we cannot just accept this we do have the opportunity to slow this down as much as possible

by being interferers you know by making this more complex and harder for them if we just lay back at everyone takes it it will move faster i don't know if you saw the video and i and i had to stop because it it made me cry it was a a couple i don't know what state it was but it went super viral a door dash delivery woman who was a latina she was delivering food and then all of a sudden ice rolls up in front of the house and the woman like runs into their home and the woman in

spanish is pleading that she has her babies you can't my daughters i was i couldn't i couldn't not. It was the most heartbreaking video. The woman that owned the house had kids in the house. And meanwhile, the ice, you know, slave catchers are outside circling her house like, like, like wild dogs waiting for the woman. They're hunting. They're hunting and they love it. And the Latina woman was crying, but she was like, I have children in school right now. They can't, they'll be by themselves. They have nobody. I am their only caretaker. And then the woman is like freaking out because she, They have guns.

She's calling the police and she's letting them know. And they're pretty much telling her like, ma'am, if you do not open the door, you're harboring a quote, unquote, criminal. You can get in trouble. So it's like this poor family is crying. And she kept saying, telling her, I am sorry.

I am sorry. I didn't want to do this. But she has to open the door because then she will be in trouble. Well, and she has children in the house. It's the most heartbreaking thing. No, but ICE can't come in that woman's house. No, but they told her if she doesn't open the door that she will be legally, there's, there's, uh, remif, um, she can get in trouble. If that, if, if that woman who was a delivery person was actually a criminal.

Yeah, Iber, but they're looking at you now. If you are undocumented, they're already labeling you as a criminal. You're here illegally. You committed a crime by just existing and being here. But that crime is not a felony. Do you think they care? I know, I know, I know. I'm just making sure. it's said. That's all. I'm just making sure it's said. If you're the person and you want to help this person, but they're a stranger and you have your own family in that. Yeah.

It's awful. It's awful. Well, how about the, how about the teenager? I think he was 17. Did you guys see this video? He was working at Target. And they picked him up and put him in the car and then threw him out of the car and left him like eight miles. He was at his job.

Oh my God. No, I didn't see this. At his job. picked him up in the parking lot, took him when they found out he was an American citizen, just dropped him off eight miles away and threw him out of the car. Wow. Now, the report says they threw him out of the car. Now, I don't know if that was like they barely slowed down

and just kicked him out while the car was moving, or they let him get out and it was, you know. Man, these people, bro. It really is, this is like, it's hard to, like, stop thinking about this. Yeah. You know? Well, it's hard to stop thinking about it. It's hard to stop talking about it. And you can't, you can't. And then you shouldn't and can't also.

It's Ebro-Lora Rosenberg's show. Did we, it was after we were off yesterday, we didn't get to salute Merrow for doing Merrow in the mornings. Mornings with Merrow. That's right. Yes. That was announced yesterday. Came down. Yeah. I saw, I saw this morning. I didn't even see it on my Algo. but I saw a thing this morning with Nessa and him. I didn't get to hear it though.

I saw Nessa and him doing something. So shout to the family over there, man. I'm happy for Mero. It's a good dude, man. He deserves it. Yeah, he's a great guy. Obviously, we already knew. All of us already know.

So we reached out. And like I said, it's like I told him he's with a great team. Like our team is a great team. Mia Bell's amazing. Of course, Shawnee, Juanito, Caz, people. we absolutely adore. So, I mean, we don't know if they're going to stay, but I hope they do. I will say, I think the most perfect and apt phrase for me when it comes to this is

a broken clock is right twice a day. And the powers that be, I think this is a very good hire. Mero is entertaining. Super New York, super good dude, has four kids, like family dude. It's great. It's great all the way around. And I just got to remind people like our issues were never with the people there. We love the people there.

We love even Hot 97 as a brand. We just didn't. We hated the company that runs it. Now listen, me, me is I am incredibly the silver lining. And there's some other people who are going to be on that show that they didn't announce yet. Oh, really? Yeah, they haven't announced yet. But there's some other, you know, I think he's putting together a bit of a team also.

And, you know, the silver lining is I love the people who are getting a chance to do it. And I think they're really good. You know, it's, it, that part makes it really dope. Listen, I'm not going to, I'm not one to hold back. So I'm not going to say anything crazy because we have our own BS to deal with. But the one thing that is hard not to feel away about is, is to see the rollout and the excitement and the posts and the production around it. And the, even at times, it seems like paying for stuff on social media. You're getting suggested videos and stuff like that.

that the only reason that I'm left with the nasty feeling is that our exit was plain old nasty. Like there's just no way around it. Like, but there's also, from beginning to right now. Yeah, but not to, right, but not to relitigate it too much, right? Not to go back into it. We were vocal about how things were being managed and we didn't like it. Yes. And most of that was because I have, that's not my bread and butter over there.

And they knew that, which is another reason why they probably was like, you know, we got to get rid of this guy. It's not even his primary gig. And he's complaining too much. And he's complaining and on the air complaining, not even behind the scenes, on the air complaining. But listen, I get it. We all did. And then the Cuomo thing was like, and listen, you're giving lots of reasons.

And the reasons are all. things that make sense. They did not want us to put out the entire Cuomo incident. No, they pulled it. I took it and put it out anyway. Correct. That is not, people don't like stuff like that, Rosenberg. You are 100% correct. Laura, let me just add. Go ahead. You are 100% correct. However, there was still no need for it to be as nasty. Like, you know, listen, enough, enough got to send off. Angie got to send off.

Listen, I understand most people, you don't always get a chance to do that. But had they in a decent way reached out to us and said, hey, here's the deal. We can't come up to terms. Y'all are unhappy. We understand. We're going a different direction. Let's wrap this thing up nice. They absolutely could have done that.

none of us would have been like, no, I didn't want to. I never expected it, especially from them, but you know what makes me happy? Hit Rose, Rose, yeah. Congratulations. You played yourself. The only thing that makes me happy is like, you guys hired Mero. Somebody who is definitely has the same politics. Political beliefs.

Yeah, yeah. The same political beliefs. And he was out there campaigning for Mom Donnie. So I doubt that. Mero is going to hold back. And I hope he doesn't. Right. But Laura, Marrow's not going to hold back.

Mero's also, he's going to do it through a funny lens. He's not going to be yelling and berating white supremacists and Nazis. Right. It's a different practice in the morning. I mean, he, hold on. Listen, I will tell you right now, the other day, the other day, you go look up Mero's tweet the other day when J.D. Vance gave his spiel. Uh-huh.

Oh, no, he goes ham. No, Morrow on Twitter. says things that I go, wow, I couldn't post that. No, no, no, he goes hand. That's what I'm happy. So who knows? Who knows where this thing goes? He goes.

And I hope he does. Listen, I hope I'm wrong. You want to see it. But I want to see it. The other, the other, the other pieces, remember specifically the Cuomo and the Adams. Adams, I'm told, was a friend of the audience. Yes. Right?

And Cuomo was a friend also. like yeah and and keep in mind this is an awesome move they got rid of us non-new yorkers yes yes and they got a chance to make a new story with new yorkers this is a solid this is this was my broken clock is right twice a day thing yeah it is a solid it was it was again like i said i can't say anything negative about the higher because i love the people they have and it's a great hire yeah all i can say is the negativity about the nastiness that went on from then until now and continues to be nasty and the fact that you were incapable regardless of what had been said incapable of thanking people for their work you know nearly 20 in your case you bro over 20 years in our case nearly 20 years of

our life and to not even be able to throw in a sentence is is wild is wild Rosenberg. Wait, time. I'm sorry. I hold people to human skin. You know what? I'm a wait. I'm a wait. I'm a wait. No, I want to wrap this up. No, yeah, I'm a wait. No, because it's going to come back up. I'm a wait. The other thing I'll just add, I wonder if Mero and Envy worked out their differences. It said that they did.

Oh, that's great. Well, no, it's not. I mean, from a radio standpoint, I hope, I mean, listen, you got to get something cooking, baby. That's how you do it. Nah, no, no, no, it's a different time, Rosenberg. You don't think people want to cook in the same way? Nah, they don't want to do that. Every, everybody, nobody like, I don't, well, let me not say nobody. People now, they want everything to be hunky-dory and nicey, nicey.

They don't like to, you know what I mean, they ain't no mixing it up. You know what I mean? Well, listen, I just know, you know, Mero is spicy if it gets down to it. Yeah, no, it's good. It's good. Wait, hold on our chat really quickly, okay? This is from Majin Side Duck. Eber is that one friend that's still popping-ish when everyone is trying to de-escalate.

I swear, if he was born in New York, he'd be from Queens. Wait, well, how was how popping is? Yeah, he wasn't doing it here. Sorry, I just like that. I was trying to keep Rosenberg from, you know, turning up. No, no, he's right. Bonnie said, Bonnie said you deserved a final show. I will never tune into that station again.

No, come on. Listen, the good thing about, the good thing about where things are now is if you're locked in with us, you can be locked in with us. You know what I mean? Yes, yes, yes, yes. And I'm excited for that. And you can check out other things. Yeah.

But no, listen, like I said, look, I'm happy for people that we love that they still have jobs. And I'm happy for the people who are supporting us because we have so much love from our listeners that we've held down throughout the year. So love all around. Now, I want to get back, speaking of mom, Donnie, I want to get back to that because I don't know if we played his video out there with the nurses. I want to stay on this nurse strike here in New York City because it's huge. A, and B, the billionaires who are working at the hospitals who are trying to. spread lies. So let's get this mom Donnie did rolling. The CEO and president of Montefiore made more than $16 million last year.

The CEO of New York Presby, where we are today, made $26 million last year. But for too many of the 15,000 Nizan nurses who are on strike, they are not able to make their ends meet. They are not asking for a multi-year. million dollar salary. What they are asking for is for their pensions to be safeguarded, to be protected in their own workplace, to receive the pay and the health benefits that they deserve. New Yorkers have a right to quality health care, as do the nurses who provide that care. The Najda demands pay hikes. Safe staffing levels.

Mm-hmm. Full health care coverage and pensions, workplace protections against violence. Yes. Did you mention responsible use of AI and health care to support and not replace human patient care? I did not see that one. I'm glad you brought that one out.

That's a big one. That's a big one. Yeah. Yeah, the management of AI where they don't just bring in AI nurses. Bro, I'm not, as a patient, I am not trying to be greeted. You don't want somebody rolling up an iPod? You know, punch in how you feel and have the iPad talk back to you? As I'm bleeding or throwing up, like, I do not have time to just be there.

Are you saying you don't want a Tesla robot to come, you know, take your blood pressure and your, and your, and your blood to figure out what's going on? No, thank you. I would like a real human being. So are you telling me ladies aren't going to be into the robot pap smear? That's not going to go over. Yeah, probably not. Or I doubt you want an automated colonoscopy. that doesn't sound fun.

Although what I've heard, based on what I've heard from women a lot over the years, they may appreciate the robot over a male doctor. That is, that is possible. Well, we have the option to choose a female doctor if we want to. That's the way I hear many people do it. It's so quintessentially American. You know, the whole thing is just so American. All these people, they cannot afford to pay them a basic wage,

and they make $26 million. And, guys, this extends across all fields. This is, this is everywhere. And it should be noted by anybody watching this or listen to this conversation. Hospitals have been closing in New York City. Everywhere, Ebro. Well, everywhere, but I'm just, you know, this is where the strike is right now. Hospitals, public hospitals have been closing in New York City.

So the health care system, I mean, obviously on a national level is terrible. Locally, it's, it's really, really bad. And it's been, it's been sliding for a long time. Oh, look, coming up, we have to get into the gurus. But right now, Rosenberg, get your stuff together. Don't shiny culture me right now. Well, hold on. Tell me where for the low. It's rundown time.

It's run down time. All right, well, hold on. Before the rundown, I do have to do, Ebro, we've got the super chat cracking. And so I got to just give these shoutouts because people are supporting the show. So these are not the words of me. I am repeating the superfan comments. Okay. Steph Aism

I'm about your name I'm sure said they did you all dirty with that unceremonious exit anyway someone called Mero Diet Ebro yesterday and that shit was hilarious Hey hey hey no let's not do that let's not do that Well I have to read I I'm not for a shout her out and say you saw the comment She showed a lot of support She showed a lot of support But yeah we don't feel that way at all that that is definitely not how we feel at all

So we love you. We love you and appreciate the love, but not. Definitely no shots over there. They actually managed to come up with something. I said, hell, no, they didn't come up with something like that. I think we all had the same reaction of like, wow, a good idea. I haven't heard one of those over here in years. Next thing you know, they're going to start selling commercials.

What the hell's going on over here? I hope for the best, man. I hope they invest in those studios over there. I hope they invest in that location over there. I hope they take care of our family at WBLS because that studio they're broadcasting it is unacceptable like those conditions that they're and by the way these two legendary heritage brands in the city WBLS is like one of the oldest black

or it was the oldest black radio station one of in the country and so with great people great people who have been on the radio telling the news day and day out good days and bad days for a long time and the conditions that they have them in is are unacceptable and you know I was not going to sit by and not be vocal about that no you know and Laura you did a lot as well like a lot of people were were voicing that this was not an acceptable thing and they didn't like that and listen maybe bringing in a marquee talent like a marrow will help force them to do the

right yeah that that's what you can hope for all right dear bro that was a lot of stalling to say you want the rundown well you only had one person in this the super chat? No, there's more. Go ahead, Laura. Go ahead, Laura. I don't even know what the hell a super chat is.

It's a super, it's super and it's a chat. All right, here we go. Listening slash watching from Alabama since 2015. Wow. Y'all are the host. Real opinions on the real world and good fun.

I'm with y'all wherever you go. Love you. That's a lot. That's really cool. Thank you, man. All right, we got to get to it. Come on. Let's go.

The rundown. The rundown. Laura Stavre. Laura Stiles. On Ebro, Laura Rosenberg. All right. All right. It's a pop.

That's a bop. All right. So let's get into it, guys. Not wait for the beat to drop. It's just taking so long. It's all set up until this part. Hitting the beat. Now you go.

Okay. Okay. Okay. All right. Mary J. B. Laura, your shoulder dance. They hit like the Ebro's shoulder dance. I'm not even.

Don't do that. No, I can't. He's trying to start it's today, man. I can't hold. I can't even hold. All right. All right, so Mary J. Blige made a huge announcement. Her first Las Vegas residency this year.

Ten shows. Listen, my girls have been texting me left or right. Are we going? So it's Mary J. Blige, My Life, My Story, at the Dobie Live at Park MGM in Las Vegas. May and July, 2026 dates. So I believe in May, it's one through, one, two, six, eight, and nine. And July is July 10th, 11, 15th. 17 and 18.

So that's exciting. Also, Joel Santana was involved in a car accident, guys. He shared photos of his facial injuries, but it sounds like he's okay, you know? People were kind of cooking him. He's like, who posts a selfie right after a car accident? Because he had like cuts and scrapes in his face, but I'm just glad he's okay.

Man, I want to shout out to Jewels, man. He texts after we ended our relationship over there, at the last situation, he texts and was insupportive. So, you know, and I see him here here from time to time, man. Get well, man. Take your time. And just glad it wasn't anything worse, man. Yeah.

All right. So Rihanna had people annoyed again. Let me tell you why. So there is this woman who posted this video of her kind of like in deep thought. And the caption said, deciding whether to get hot and sexy or get pregnant in 2026. Rihanna goes and comments and says, wait. So I'm not crazy then. bat.

hilarious. So they were like, no, not another baby. We want the album. Wait, she can't. You can't drop another one, can you? She's thinking about it, Rosamund. No, no, no. She, listen, remember, Rihanna said she wanted five kids, bro.

And what, and what stop her from having five kids? Wait, I never know she put out a number. I swear I saw an interview where she was like she always dreamed of, like, having a large family. And I thought she said a number, man. Maybe I, listen. I apologize if that didn't happen. Well, she's at three right now. She got two boys and a little girl.

Yeah. And fast time. I know. Back to back. The oldest is like four? No, not even. I think younger Rosenberg. Well, no.

And Rocky's album is this Friday. It is Friday. Rocky's albums this Friday. I like punk Rocky. I like that record, Punk Rocky. And he dropped another one yesterday, a helicopter. I got a peat.

Yeah. Listen, you know what I need to know from the chat? I want to start featuring like a song a day on this show just to keep y'all in tune with the music that's coming out out here. I reached out the chance to rapper. He's like, yo, I give y'all my whole catalog. Y'all can play whatever you want. I mean, depending on I can do what I want.

I talk to French Montana. That Max B French Montana Project, I eat on it. Yeah, singles pretty dope. Singles dope. Let me from a pop, like a commercially joint. That's pretty good. Yeah, but there's some things on that on that project that I really. like, who else did I speak to?

Oh, Mass appeal. Shout to Massapil. Always. Massifield's like, yo, tell us what you need. Because for the audience, if you don't know, you got to get permission to play music when you live on YouTube. But I want to make sure, you know. And then obviously we could do it on Patreon. We could do a straight music show for y'all on Patreon.

Yeah, that would be the easiest way to do it. But for the live people with commuting in cars and all out, I want to get y'all a song. You know what I'm saying? Just to keep you in tune with some of these fire hip hop that's going on out here. All right. Let's get into the low down. Oh, low down time.

Lowdown. All right. Some bocineze. For more styles to get down all the way down. Sean Tomp in 940. And shout out to the regular people in the chat, too. The low down. All right.

So this is just some bocinscheche, but I don't know if you guys see an Anthony Anderson and Roxy Diaz were spotted hand in hand, a new little relationship. So they were leaving a Golden Globes after party and they asked him and she and he was pretty much like, she's my date for the evening. And he's like, we've been friends for a very long time. But there's definitely something going on. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Now, they're saying just friends. Yes. And they were holding hands. Yes. They didn't fight hard, bro. They weren't fighting hard to convince anyone. Yeah. They're just I want to admit it. Now, listen, man. Shout to shout to great friendships. Yes. Shout to great friendships.

All right, guys. Now, this one is a doozy. And we've been so busy talking about everything else that this one was something that it's been brewing behind the scenes. And I know it was brewing behind the scenes. But yesterday, L.A. Reed settled his sexual assault accusation ahead of his trial. Now, remember the incredible woman, Drew Dixon. Yeah. So we've interviewed Drew Dixon before. She did the documentary. That's right. She did the documentary. And this woman has suffered a lot. Her story. And I encourage anybody who's tuned in right now, go look her up. She's an amazing woman. She was suing L.A. Reed. And he was like, let's settle. Let's settle really quickly. They settled right before the trial.

Now listen, it's crazy. And it was an undisclosed amount or something like that. Yes. Undisclosed amount. I'll tell you what was disclosed. It was this. Congratulations. You plagued yourself.

Now, looking at the at the whole picture, right? Not saying that Drew Dixon is incorrect. But remember, sometimes people settle because trials cost more and it's public. And I don't think there's a win. Even if you, even like, for instance, like, even if you're at a, uh, a, uh, a, uh, not get a settlement in your favor or in your favor as L.A. Reed. How is there an upside for L.A. Reed to take this all the way to trial? And go to court with people on social media and all that.

There's not. The congrats. The reason I'm hitting the button is, why let it get to when it's the day of the trial? Facts. Like just from the very beginning, guys, there's been enough, I don't know L.A. Reed. I don't want to speak out of school. I know he wears some interesting robes and ish that looks very suspect. But from all the things we've heard out there, bro, you knew you did not want to go through a trial and have people telling all the stories of things that you've done

and parties you've been to and what you were, why wouldn't you just spend the money up front? I guess maybe it's a lot and you're trying to avoid it. But maybe that was the advice his lawyers gave him. But then they changed their mind. Or maybe at the last minute he's like, I can't do this. This is crazy. Who knows? Yeah, we don't know.

Who knows? But I know a lot of times, you know, when people don't go to trial and they settle, for all of us in the regular world, it's like an admission of guilt. But sometimes it's, I just, there's no upside here. Well, and that may be the case here is that he really doesn't think he did anything wrong, but that the stories in it are going to be so salacious anyway that why am I doing this? Yeah. But it looks even worse for some reason when it's day of.

Yeah. It would have been way quieter. if from the beginning, although you do it if the day of you were to immediately hand over the money, that looks really guilty. Listen, it's all bad and it's all that hit the button. Yeah, it's not what you want. Let me go out on the limb here. None of this is what you want. Congratulations, you plagued yourself.

None of this is what you want. Yeah, no charges. No one trying to say that you sexually assault them is the ideal way to go. I'm being told that in our chat on YouTube, thanks for the low. Is that all you have for the lowdown? Yes. Lowdown? That's a, that's a Miss messy styles, uh, in the low down. The low down. Oh yeah.

She takes us to hell. You go low, Laura goes lower. Come on down here in hell. And I love it. That wasn't even bad, obviously. That was just news. Um, I see people giving us money on YouTube. That's part of the super fan thing, the super channel. Wouldn't it be, wouldn't it be better for them to just like, once we get the Patreon going, just subscribe to the Patreon? I think they're excited though this is I don't know I think this don't man I just want people to say I just want people to use their money the right way you know what I'm saying I'd love to get if you start a poll Louis see how many subscriptions we would actually get if we started a Patreon

I know people are gonna say I know people are gonna say depends on the price but I bro what can I say this completely respectfully but when it comes to hopefully getting money from people can I just I suck normally tell you to such a bitch ass up real quick I'm terrible he's like I do not 25 cents a day. I do not like asking our listeners for money, man. Here's the perfect thing. We didn't ask.

We're not. But you don't have to fight them. Like, we're not. This is a thing people do. You're not a part of that culture. This is the thing people do. I'm not, man. So don't feel bad.

Listen, we have a lot of people on this team who need to get paid. So a few bucks coming. What you're saying now is fat. So how about you sigh bow and let us do what we do. Yes. Yes. I feel you. It's a little odd.

It makes me feel like. an only fans model just a bit. But, only fans, Rosamberg. Listen, Louie, Baskam might have another kid by the time we get on Patreon. Oh, Bascom has another kid on the way. No, he might have another. I mean another one after that. Oh, God.

He's like Rihanna. He's the Rihanna of our show. He's the Rihanna. He can't stop. Your man can't stop. And they're both Caribbean, too, bro. Coincidence? No, I need, we got to, we may have to interview Rassano on the show.

Like, did you want this many kids? Was this a plan? Like, is this your idea? Is this your wife's? idea you guys on the same page. I got question. Yeah, listen. Like at any point, do you guys go, hey, this is getting expensive less to him? Are we not concerned about the baby that's on the way and the, and like, he's fascinating. Like, you guys are just so busy with the other four that the baby gets knowing, like where are?

What about the fact that he's a converted Muslim did all the studying in one moment, turned his life from being ratchet in the streets? It's a clean Muslim man. And yet, But yet he still watches every trashy TV show on planet Earth. It's he's the best person because it cracks me off. Like just when you think things are like so bad, who watches this? He's like, got you. How about this? He sent out a baby show or like a registry the other day.

Uh-huh. And was like, hey, guys, you know, here's my wife. Here's our registry. My wife put this together, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, cop something. And, you know, cracked the joke about being unemployed. I forgot that he was having another kid. I was like, wait, is this the same kid that you told me about a few? Or is this another kid?

I've lost track. No, you know how crazy? You know how crazy it is when someone's having that many kids that you literally are like? And then. I know. And then I can't even. As someone said to me, I'm at ESPN yesterday. He was like, oh, how you doing?

I said, good. He said, yeah, man, these kids being sick. I said, yeah, it's tough. Yeah, I got three of them. I was like, hey, man, that's your thing. You got no one to blame but yourself, bro. Wait, Rosenberg, y'all not going back? No, we are, but I guess, you know,

it's a very, it's a very strange thing. Like, we are so. He just had one. We're so in love. We're so in love with Maya and her birthdays in two days, and we're sitting there crying every day about her turning one and all the things. And I know we want to do it.

again because the idea that this would be the last time we get to experience this is is like impossible to imagine but at the same time you know even in the good life that we have this is just so hard from and from every single standpoint imaginable that like I know everyone's like yeah you just keep rolling with the next one it's no big deal but it's a big deal listen It feels big. Time management is a big deal. Scheduling is a big deal. Making sure that you're like giving attention, the attention that the children need and deserve is a big deal. These things are a big deal and people just blow past them like it means nothing.

Guys, and healing is a big deal. Mentally, emotionally, your relationship not turning into nothing but work is a big deal. The space in your house is a big deal. The money that it costs to take good care of them. To your point, I was just talking about the children. You guys are talking about yourselves. But it's all there. It's neat.

You can't. You can't really. That's the thing. Yeah. Like if you look at just the kids part, it feels manageable. Everything else. But then people get addicted to the baby part, right? They get addicted to like a baby in the house.

But the baby thing is over in 10, 12 months. So that's the thing I was wondering. What is the logic? You know, and listen, Baskam, I don't want to get all up in his business, but this situation just kind of happened. But with people who are like, we're going to have, I want to have five babies. you know that means Rihanna's young

when you're in your 60s you're just dealing with five different adult personalities and it's for the record the thing that scares me as a paranoid Jewish person who's always been in tune with mental health stuff

I got if you have five one's probably crazy the math is killing the batting average goes way down bro I think after three I think after three I think after

two, the batting average start to slide because then you start to slide into middle child issues. Oh, God, I see it. And then you start to slide into other trauma where kids feel left out or they have this or they have that or they're not good enough. One kid's an overachiever and the other kid just feels like, you know, I can't ever be that.

The middle child thing in practically every case in my life with the families I'm friends with or family I have where there's three, practically always middle child thing is real or one of them if not middle child. It's very real. It scares me. But the reason I brought up, Rosenberg, for you going after another one is because you're talking to the guy at

ESPN, he's talking about three. You're going, don't act like you're not going to have two. And Griff's talking about that. Criff is saying in their house, they're talking about going again. Well, listen. For a third. Well, this shop is closed. And Rassan can't get a girl. He's got all boys. Well, guess what?

I have, yo, I have a friend that has four boys. Four boys. and they're giants. Yeah. Or they're giant six, six, six, four. Eating up all the house. No, no, no.

You can't, you have to go kill a cow. They have to go to the butcher and legit put whole cows in deep freezers to feed these animals. The stories I hear from Ricardo growing up, Ricardo's one to five. And he's the middle? The stories are here, I'm like, how, how did you guys do this?

I don't, I don't understand. And for the record, if you had, you know, all the these people with I need the other gender. If you have, it's what you got. Or. Yeah, yeah, no, I just want healthy. I never, I never cared. Yeah, or, or if you, um, or if you go ahead and do it with doctor help,

they can ensure that you get one. But not everyone has that situation. Yeah, you got money like that. And for the fellas out there, you know, ladies want you to get to snip, snip now. If you really want to stop getting her pregnant, ladies, you know, because the vasectomy is reversible. They can unplug your pipes and plug your pipes back up.

women don't have that luxury when they go messing around with their innards. It's either, yeah. Once it's over, it's over. I mean, you get your tubes tied, but. I just heard from a good friend of mine. I don't want to say his name based on what he said, but a good friend of mine who just wrote, I have five siblings.

Three are crazy. And multiple have middle child. Three are crazy. Wow. No, it's a real thing. Listen, before we wrap today, Ebro-Lora Rosenberg, make sure you subscribe. smash that subscribe button.

Yeah, bro. Smash your check. Put your notifications on. What are our subscriptions at right now? You know? I haven't checked before. 44 on the nose. We've bottomed out already.

No, we're growing. 44 on the nose. Oh, wow. Last time I checked, it was 40. Oh, I love this. Yeah, it's 44 on the nose. It's growing day by day. You know, listen, we got plans.

I think it'll be very exciting when we start, you know, talking to guests and doing different kinds of content and we're together. I think it will see even more growth. But like this, this run guys, I actually feel terrible because my, my ESPN show that I do every afternoon, Don Hannah Rosenberg on ESPN New York, they got serious about YouTube like several months ago. The whole station started a YouTube channel and they started broadcasting every show on the YouTube channel. Yeah. A few months. And we crushed the subs of the whole station's channel. on our first day.

Oh, wow. I just want to, like, really clearly let you know how real it is to get 44,000 in a couple of weeks. It's those are, those are real, that's real love and support. And I know there's still a lot of people we haven't found yet. There's no people guys who are coming back like, yo, what the hell happened to you, bro, Laura Rosenberg? Right. Because people don't listen every day. So.

I've seen people leave comments like, can we get a podcast? I'm like, oh, honey, it's up and it's popping. It's popping out here. We got to, you know, the next phase is the added content where we start to supplement, like Roseberg said, the interviews. And it's coming. And more music commentary and things like that. A lot of stuff is on the way. Oh, and for anyone wondering, not that anyone cares, but if anyone's wondering, you know, I did real late.

When Ebro, when Ebro first hired me on Hot 97, it was to do a late night underground show, which had always been my dream, like a late night mix show. And I did it for 18 and a half years before I. I was unceremoniously dismissed. And I have now spent like whatever it is a month straight with no weekly radio show. And I just want everybody to know that will be changing soon. Announcements soon come. Real late will be continuing. Are you going to put it on this channel?

Now, we could have a conversation about the videos being on this channel. Okay. But no, there will be an audio home for real late, an audio home. Oh, okay. Like where people can drive around and listen, turn on a radio station and hear their favorite underground. You know what I mean? Nice. Nice. But no, we love that.

The video component we got to talk about because that's going to be there as well. But I just knew I needed, I need some place to have a radio. I have been on the radio since I was, as you know, I bro like you. And Laura, you're not far behind. Since I was 17 years old, I did my first shift at WMUC. I have never had a period that lasted more than like a few months once in 2005. where I wasn't on the box. So like I love podcasting.

I love video. I love all of it. But that radio is something I always want to have for my music outlet. You know what I'm saying? So soon come. Well, let's get into it. It's time for the original gurus. Oh, yeah.

You don't have your stuff. No, but I think is busy cross-promote. No, since we don't have an official guru intro yet, Ebro. We got to hit the harps. I'm going to hit the harps. I'm going to hear the harps for the breathing. But in the meantime, we haven't seen one Ebro doing the day. dance today. Come on, man.

Nobody was really doing the dance today. Oh, no. Oh, there were people doing the dance yesterday. Lauren I talked about it. Wait, what happened? What I missed? Just do the dance. I don't want to. I'll tell you off the air. People we know in love were doing... Are you guys taking shots? No. People we know and love were doing the dance.

But maybe they're excited. I like that I really can help himself. If the music plays, he has to do the dance. Maybe they're really happy. All right, let's focus. Hey, listen, man, change is good, man. Change is good. Breathe in, breathe out. I never knew Ebrod have a dance.

I love so much. It's a crazy twist I never expected. We burned some bottle of something. Listen, man, I've been holding back. I've been holding back certain skills, you know, for this next chapter of my life. I love this. I love this for you. I love this for you.

All right, all right, all right. Breathe in, breathe out. Zen, Zen, Zen. The original gurus at gmail.com. Zen. The original gurus at Gmail.com where you email us your problems and we are here

to save lives. Rosenberg, who's out there? Who needs us? Who needs the original gurus? So many are in need, Laura. And they write us at the original gurus at gmail.com. The original gurus at gmail.com.

Got some mold in there. Anyways. Greatest of morning gurus. I'd be remiss if I'd not express my love and gratitude for you all for bringing your energy and personality to YouTube after Massa took the strong vocal

slaves off the plantation. I said what I said. Oh, man. Here's my dilemma. I experienced a friendship death, meaning that we are no longer friends. But they are alive. L.O.L.

I get it. Back in May. And I have been ruminating on whether I was wrong for not accepting her yelling at literally at a restaurant because I don't tell her everything, quote, regarding my day to day. For context, we went to the restaurant to eat something quickly so that I could continue helping her move an apartment's worth of items after out of a storage space in one borough to her apartment in another borough. No compensation for gas, tolls, etc. Because I did not explicitly tell her that I have been having car trouble, hence me having a jack, ropes, tire, wrench, etc., in my trunk.

She decided to have an adult tantrum in a public place because my trunk was not completely emptied to put all her stuff in. It didn't matter that I fit six large bins and two extra large boxes into a Honda CRV. I did not yell back. Instead, I repeated calmly that I am not going to argue her feelings, nor am I going to argue her truth. I did that to control myself from getting violent because she was strong an audience. I even completed what I said I would do, moving her stuff in and making sure she was good in her apartment. Since then we have not spoken. She uninvited herself on a trip that she initially invited herself on that I took in July and has sent subliminal shots at me on social media.

What? Yes, I have blocked her completely and restricted her on my pages. My question is, was I wrong to disconnect from her rather than argue with her? Should I have fought harder for a 10-year friendship? I am in my mid-40s and it's hard to make adult friendships at this time in life because of responsibilities and adulting.

Do you have any suggestions on how to make healthy friendships? I have no interest in interacting with her again. I just want a different perspective on this experience. Thank you so much for being phenomenal. Ebro, Laura, Rosenberg, and producer Griff, loyal fan of this show.

Appreciate you for the film. Yes, love you. Yo, listen, man. I feel this lady, 1,000%. I hate what you. when friends try to act like they need every detail of everything you got going on all the damn time, bro. Like, I don't, that's not me. I hate that.

I hate it. And I hate when people try to make friendship work. Yeah. Like, are we friends yet? And we, there's, you know, we talk, we show love. But, you know, if the schedules are working out, the schedules are working out. Schedules ain't working out. The schedule, we know you make time for people you care about.

It's just like needy relationship. I hate it. I don't want it in my personal life. I don't want it in my friend life. I don't want it. And just respecting people's boundaries. Like you were there. You were helping.

You did all that. And for her to act that way is nuts. She seems very ungrateful. I think you did the right thing. I think sometimes, you know, some friendships run its course and that's okay. And when people start treating you like with no respect, it's okay to close that door. But Laura, isn't it? there's something in Rosenberg speak to this too.

You go to therapy more than all of us. Isn't there something to be said for the neediness of this friend and maybe some issues that this friend has the way she's, you're yelling in a public place. You're lashing out over like not me not checking

in enough or not giving you details. Well really what you're mad about is they're not being enough space in the car and she's lashing out for the reasoning behind it but really she was just mad you didn't have more space in the car. Um, Yes, there is more to it, I'm sure. However, I am normally much more than burn it down styles.

I am much more a fight for the friendship kind of person. However, in this case, honestly, you met them in your 30s, bro. I got friends who were at my first wedding in 2012 that I do not talk to anymore. They were a moment in my life and there are the friends that ride the whole journey with you. And there are some that come and go. And it's, it's, that is, I'm an emotional person, so I do find certain things about that, sad. But what you described was so out of pocket. And then the follow up rather than apologizing was uninviting herself from a trip and then taking shots at you.

Nah, you good. You can find other friendships. Yep. And you can find, you know, I'm going to take the role of Ebro and Laura Stiles here. Sign up for an activity you enjoy doing. You know what I mean? Meet friends of friends. Like, you know, I don't know.

She's saying she doesn't have any friends. No, she just wants to not many friends. She just was, is interested in discovering new people. Okay, fine. What Rosenberg said is great for discovering and meeting new people. How many friends do we actually need? When people are like, yo, I got like, you know, this friend and 10 friends and 20 friends. These are my bestie, my bestie over here.

I don't trust you. There's no way all these people are your besties Stop it, knock it off They're not all your friends You're a liar, you're needy too Like how many friends do you Friends? Like people you check in on with every week

Do you actually need? Bro I have a group of girlfriends that I talk to a lot We have a chat I got a group of friends too But how many? Laura, it's not that many though I kind of know all your guys' friends

Yeah I'm even less probably I know people who have birthday parties At 300 people there I go I don't know how you do this I couldn't Facts. Possibly.

No, Rosenberg, you could have a birthday party with 300 people, no problem. Strangers. You wouldn't have a birthday party. They'd be strut. But what I'm saying is they'd be utter strangers. Like I...

They'd be list people, not strangers, people watching right now. Record label people. I love... Artists. Yeah. Family. Friends of family.

Tell you. You can do it. Listen, man. Next birthday. When's your birthday again? June what? July 23rd. Don't put him on a spot.

Don't put him on a spot. July 23rd. We're doing a three. 300 person birthday. Rosenberg. You're going to struggle. You're going to struggle, bro. So, yeah, I think you,

I think you've done enough. I think you, I don't think you did the wrong thing. That's wild behavior for an adult to scream at you while, and for the record. Let me hit you with the button. Hold on. This lady. Congratulations. You plagued yourself. You're in your mid-40s. Ain't no helping anyone move anymore.

It's over. Nah. Nope. Oh, wait, you need to put a suitcase in my You can put one suitcase in my car. No problem. I am not showing up at your house and carrying things downstairs in my mid-40s for you. Call me boogey. Send an email.

That actually show up and risk tearing another meniscus going up and down the stairs at 46 years old. Lady, what are we doing? Come on. All right, all right.
