Just don't call in a podcast. Are we live? I don't know. I have no idea what's going on. The communication on this program is well documented as frustrating for me. I like your approach. We are live. You're positive we are.

Yes. Who told you? A producer. Oh, I wonder. There you go. That has to make you feel good. Do we have buttons? Hit the button, man.

I'm already frustrated. That little transition right there already pissed me off. The first thing you want to do without me at home is call for the button. You're frustrated. And then you think the move is

call for a button. I want to get it out of my system right now. Congratulations. You play. Look at that. Look at that. Okay. My bad.

Don't we have... Listen, ladies gentlemen, the Ebro-Laure Rosenberg show. Hopefully you subscribe to the YouTube. I see you guys all in there chatting. You know what I'm saying? And then hopefully you've gotten yourself and the ability to get to the Patreon.

If not, it's okay. Maybe one day it'll fit into your budget. But yesterday we put up an episode with Rosenberg was really, really losing his mind, man. Like in a major way. But I'm glad eventually you reeled it back in. I was proud of you. Real it back in.

It was a mix of I'm going to let go of real frustration that I have. Yeah. And also we're having fun. And we want to, it's Patreon. Let's get the people going. So it was a mix of, of it all. But I do feel sometimes these days. So you do admit.

I do admit. No, you do admit, though, that there was some real in that, in that unraveling. Absolutely. There's real feelings in that unraveling. Yeah. I don't unravel without it. It's never fully provocative. It's rude.

Unravel is rooted in realness, is what you're saying? For sure. I mean, I just let go and didn't worry about being recorded. That's just the kind of thing I would have said if it was the three of us not recording, which is why we decided to bleep it because I was like, I'm not trying to, even behind the paywall, even on Patreon among our fots, our most hardcore fads. Yeah, yeah. I'm still not trying to let loose like that.

It was uncouthy, bro. In the chat right now, people are talking about the new studio. I'd love, if you haven't seen the Patreon or any of the clips from Patreon, we'd love to know how you feel about our new endeavor. This is something actually, I'll let the audience know that we've been working on long before our departure from our last partnership, our last employment. That's right. Because there was, I've always had an issue. I've had an issue because I believe that the Internet's never really got to hear the gravita. of our program.

They never got to really feel the nuances and intricacies of what we did on broadcast radio. Most of it never made it to the internet. They would cut up congratulations. You played yourself, or they would cut up Laura Stiles flashing lights. We'd get some interviews going out,

but they didn't have the staffing or the desire to actually give you guys the full show that we were doing on the air. So a little while ago, I started on an endeavor to try to get that stuff to the internet. while we were in the midst of a contract renegotiation. And so that studio that you see that we did,

that we showed you all a little piece of on Patreon, I actually offered that to the former partnership. Didn't we talk about this on the Patreon? Did I talk about the fact that I wanted to shoot our show there and offer them? I don't know if I did I talk about that? Yeah, we talked about how that may have played. Got it. Okay. Well, at any rate, so that's the new studio. We'd love to know how you guys feel about it. It looks great and it's going to look better and sound better the next time you hear it. That was literally us taking our patrons.

You right over there, buddy? Ebro, what's going on over there, man? Yeah, you're like breathing into the microphone. Laura, it sounds like it's like a boxing match and your man's in the corner between the rounds. But it's going to, that was literally taking our. our patrons behind the scenes of the whole thing. So it's going to look and sound better. And shout out to our guy, Omar. And shout out to Bascom,

who have been, they've been working around the clock to get that thing, you know, to the right place. I don't know if you know this about Ebro. Ebro is a great leader. He's also an intense leader. You know what I mean? Think about your Greg Popovich's. You know what I mean?

Your guys, they have a lot of intensity. They're fun. And they may make great jokes and talk about their, you know, political stuff in a way that you admire. But behind those doors, some F-bombs fly. Some things happen. And everyone is efforting to make this thing flawless. And like even yesterday...

Well, see, let's stop right there. Let's stop right there. Let's stop right there. That word effort. Let's talk about effort. Okay. And hard work. Let's talk about those words.

Let's talk about the difference between good and great. Okay. Yeah. Everybody's definition of that is different. Right? Some people will be like, yo, are you making an effort? and they'll be like, I'm giving everything I got. They'd be like, are you?

But to them, to them, and at the level that they've, you know, done work, that's everything they got. You know, my intensity level and effort level and sense of urgency, right, is, and work ethic is what's sustained me so far in my life. It's surely not your talent or looks is what you're saying. It's none of that.

that. It's all been effort. So I figure if I work harder, show up more, have a level of intensity, a level of communication that's beyond the rest of the majority of the batch that I'm in the in the in the in the in the arena with. I'll succeed. I'll succeed. So you're asking people to to find a new level of intensity that maybe they've never had before either. I'm trying to I'm trying to hold hands. I'm trying to pull people along. But it, because see now,

now with the Ebro-Laure Rosenberg show, this is ours. There's nobody going to be like, hey, guys, you showing up today? Hey, guys, can you do that read again for a client? Hey,

hey, guys, can you be on time? Hey, hey, guys, hey guys, can you? Do we have that at the last show? They didn't even know if we were there or not. Well, I mean, we did have it.

It was called Laura Stiles and Ebro. Right, right. So same people, we have it now. Right. But no, no, but no, but no, now it extends to more people. Well, A, it extends to more people. And the money that you were getting paid every two weeks was showing up regardless, as long as you delivered the ratings.

That's true. Right. But now we have to. This money ain't showing up regardless. If you don't deliver for these Patreon people, don't unsubscribe. If Laura don't get these t-shirts out the door, ain't nobody buying them. Oh, they're already being sure.

If we're not on time on YouTube and giving people entertainment at 8 a.m., guess what? They're moving on to the next piece of content. They may not come back, especially if they don't hit the subscribe and get a notification when we pop up. So it's a different level of intensity,

is what I'm saying. It's a different sense of urgency, is what I'm saying. So you can't treat this thing like the other thing. That's all I'm saying. And I think, and let me say this. I think everybody, it will take different time to receive the message and start to execute.

And I like where we're at right now. I think we're doing good. And also I'm really feeling the love from the patrons, man. The fact that, like, Ibro and I had a conversation like a half hour ago about, because I'm on Saudi time. It's 4.12 p.m. So, Laura, I was earliest that I've ever been in 20 years. God.

So I was chilling. And we were talking. And Ebro made a good point because he was like, he was saying, you know, No, people were like, why were they recorded? What's happened with this? And my default is like to get defensive. I go to like, well, we're giving more than any other podcast does. We're five days a week.

And Ebro rightfully pointed out, he's like, hey, man, if we have people that care, they're that invested, that they're noticing slight differences rather than get annoyed with them. Let's appreciate how committed they are. And I was like, wow, you're so right. And I hope they get the sense of commitment back from us. Ebro's up at the absolute ass crack of dawn on the West Coast. I had my man from the hotel here come upgrade the Wi-Fi for me to make sure we're good. Got a dedicated line, paid for a dedicated line.

So we are trying to match your effort, but we appreciate you guys. Well, yo, thanks for giving us your time, people. Now. I was getting so hot about the stories that were going on before bedtime. So look We got things to get to Nicky Minaj is at the top of the pal Bring up that Aconelli

Put it in your mouth instrumental Get that ready for the people We got we're gonna do When we're doing the dance today We're doing a different type of guzzle I mean it's a different type of gaggle Guzzle you know that's going on They left the dance floor

They left the dance floor No no Ebro Ebroke said I'm good with the dance floor I want to go to the champagne room Let's go all the way. Now, I need that gold card. Wait, now, listen, and I want to talk about that. We'll get to that coming up. We also got to get from Rosenberg what this Saudi Arabia experience is really like, right?

Because there's a lot of, we hear a lot. There's golf tournaments. There's, you know, big comedy shows, boxing engagements. Saudi Arabia is paying a lot of money to have people out there. And obviously, in America, we get the, you know, the civil rights violation market. of Saudi Arabia and all the things that they do wrong. But I hear from a lot of people that is beautiful over there, Rosenberg. Yeah, well, listen, I've only had the experience that I've had so far.

Right. And all I know is, all I know is I live in the United States of America. All right? I got a lot of thoughts about what's going on in the United States of America. Yeah. I don't feel like I'm in the best position to be overly judging any place that I go. but all I can speak to is the people I've been around. And so far my experience has been just lovely.

Yesterday we went to this amusement park. Oh, I saw. I saw. Lori, you saw my picture of me slumped over? Wait, what happened? What you got on that roller coaster? Not Ebro. Talk to me.

What happened? I went on Falcons flight. Okay. They gave us the treatment. You know, they gave us the treatment. I call it Ebro at Disney World treatment. You know what I mean? I'm not skipping the line.

I'll get you like to go out here. You are a VIP. So we went on this Falcons flight. It is the longest, tallest, fastest in the world. We said all that. I heard about it. I was a little nervous about it. But the way it's set up, you cannot see very much of it in the park.

You only see one spot of it. I don't know how they set it up. Keep in mind, we're in South Carolina. Saudi Arabia guys. This is 50 minutes. It was in Cadilla City, 50 minutes, an hour, over an hour from where I am in Riyadh. It's all desert mountains around you. So it's a totally different vibe of amusement park than I've ever had before. Guys, I cannot describe to you how effing insane this ride was. I said it like this, because after I took it a couple of our people work with us, my camera guy, Luis, My man, Brian, all these people were like they hadn't gone on yet.

They're like, should we go? We're kind of scared should we go? I said, guys, it was amazing. It was insane. I'm not doing it again. You make your choice. Like, just make your choice. Right, right, right, right.

It was madness. Ebro, it goes 155 miles an hour, bro. Oh, my gosh. No, that's moving. Like, being pulled back. I mean, it's definitely a lot of G-Force. Bro, I've never in my life. I don't know if I did any.

this on air, but remember I told you, I can't do that anymore. My body is not equipped. I get dizzy. I want to throw up. And I used to be a fanatic. I used to love six flags. Any roller coaster, I'm in. Five loop-de-loops, I'm in.

Didn't matter. I can't. I had the same thought. And let me tell you guys something, because we're all friends, right? It's just us and the fots. Yeah. Hopefully my wife's not watching because I don't need her to hear this part of the story.

Do you ever fly and have, like, stomach issues while you're flying? We're like Let me put it How can I say this Delicately in a way that's not repulsive It feels like after I have a long flight like that I'm kind of bind it up And

Oh mean you couldn't You couldn't take a dump You couldn't drop a deuce Well no no It's more that it's happening Slowly throughout the day Instead of like one good You feel good for the day

Kind of situation That makes sense Okay So I was scared That this ride was gonna be so crazy that it was all just going to happen. I didn't know what was going to happen. I was scared.

So you was going to. Well, way. There's people listening to with the kids in the car right now. It's children. Well, then they've heard about it. Guess what? They've cleaned it up for you. Yes, yes.

And they probably felt the same at some point in their lives, okay? I was worried. I was going to evacuate mid-ride sitting there with the New Day and Ria Ripley and Dexter Loomis. I thought it was all going to happen. Well, listen, you'd be able to come back home. you'd be like, look, I took a dump on the Saudi Arabia. Well, I went to the Saudi Arabia, and I took a dump on the whole thing.

That is not what I would say or what I would do. Why, because you're doing the dance. Get that Akanelli going. This Saudi Arabia promos got us in. Well, you went to the champagne room yourself. You literally asked me, how's it going so far? Don't listen to something. No, this is not for me.

Stop it. Stop it, basketball. That is not for me. That's Ebro. I'm trying, I bro, don't clean it up. Only one person gets that. That's your girl who gets it today. That's your friend who gets it today.

Not me. I'm out here working. I had a great time. And then we went to a meal at this restaurant. I love Middle Eastern food. Right, right, right. The hummus, the baba ganouche, the falafel. Not stop.

Stop. It's been really quiet. I haven't heard anything about you on a roller coaster. You didn't even get on one? Of course. I love roller coasters. I jumped on the front of the roller coaster multiple times. The last time

Now No no no With just where Issa When we went to What's that called? Universal Studios You know where they got the Raptor And they got all the big roller coaster

Universal Studios Me and Issa was on them I can't On them take them I mean Natalie just Natalie just texted me Ew in all caps

And then wrote in all caps Poo Pee That's my wife That's not Becky Lynch That's my wife Poo Poo Pee Pooh Pete Poo Poo Poo Pee

Yo, look, we got to get into this Nicki Minaj story since we got the Aconelli put it in your mouth music going. I seriously want to ask you guys. Seriously. Seriously, serious, serious, serious, serious.

If everything we're seeing from Nikki Minaj was all to get that gold card that she got from Trump, can we get a picture of it put up, please? If everything was for that and dealing with her immigration status

and all of that. Yeah. Is there any forgiveness for her? Is she able to double back later and say, hey, guy, hey guys, I had to do this. Well, can I ask you a question? Yes. If she needed status of some sort. And shout out to my wife, who early in the day yesterday said she's hustling for the gold card.

I was not thinking about it. Called it ahead of time. She did. You know, Queens. You know what I mean? These Queens weirdos, they all relate to each other. You know what I mean? On some, she understood.

You know what I mean? No, it was a bad look for Queens yesterday. But, but, so tell me, though, if she, why would she need her status to change? Because she's not a, she's not a citizen. But you don't think, you don't think with all the money that she has, she's a millionaire, right? And she has great lawyers. You don't think that she could have, like, applied and done it a long time ago? I think she could have applied it.

No, no, no, I 1,000% think she could have applied a long time ago and absolutely got it done. I don't know if she was responsible enough to do so or considered it a priority before that. But I'm just asking the question because I don't know what kind of duress. I don't know what kind of duress she's under. And is this just bad person? I know we all want to sort to, ah, she's an a-ho, play the Akenelli. music. She's up there guzzling Donald Trump. They don't left the dance floor with the champagne

room. But I don't know what kind of duress this under, this person's under. I don't know what she's dealing with. I don't know what bad choices. I don't know what bad choices she's made that's caused her to have to do this. Like the person she is married to is on a sexual, what's that called? A predator list.

Or her brother being in jail, that's not her fault. That's just her brother in the world that's come from. Let me ask you a question. Just being fair with ourselves. Do we give that sort of grace to everyone else who does this? Well, we have. I mean, we have. No, you have with some of the rappers.

You have with a couple of the rappers. Yeah, I have. You said, hey, they got a charge. But generally, it's because they did something stupid, by the way. Yeah. Generally, it's self-inflicted. They did something stupid, and then they want to get it fixed. So then they doubled down on doing something stupid by then kissing ass at the same time

while our country is being ripped apart right in front of me. look well look yes it's happening because they're selfish they did something stupid before and notoriously we've talked about this one of the appeals that donald trump has to criminals to people who are in trouble to people there's so many people he's pardoned et cetera et cetera some of the appeal to that is the fact that they could pay to get access in ways that they were never able to do before because that is called corruption and that is breaking the law and that's why they weren't able to do it before but guess what people like a little corruption in breaking the law that benefits them well well i think everything that you said makes sense sure yes for having grace but niki however has

has long has long long been treating people nasty behind the scenes oh here we go No, I'm just facts. She's acting like a nasty person many times. A bully, an outright bully to many people. Including you. Including me, but I'm not talking about me. But this is the chickens coming home to Roos. Now we're fully getting to watch this whole thing in front of us.

Not only did you have to play the game, but Laura, to get up there. Let's watch it. You know what, Basker. Let's watch it. Let's take a look. Probably the president's number one fan. And that's not going to change. And the hate or what people have to say, it does not affect me at all.

It actually motivates me to support him more. You wouldn't be bringing it up if it didn't affect you. We're not going to let them get away with bullying him. Oh, okay, I can't take it. I can't take it. Now I can't take it. I can't take it. Turn it off.

Turn it off. Make it stop. I can't take it. Now I can't take it. I can't take it. Just put it in your mouth. Just put it in your mouth. This is beyond the dance.

There's no, that's not dancing music. But that's what I was saying? You want to see them hold hands, though? Because at least they held hands after. You know what I mean? That's nice. That shows love. Well, I'll be honest.

I hadn't listened to the audio. Oh. I had only seen the photos and seen little clips. But hearing her talk. It's sending you a place. It's sending me to a bad place. Because, oh, I'm not worried about the haters. Yes, you are.

That's why you brought it up. Facts. Facts. And then, by the way, and then some of the stuff you're saying is so egregious. Yeah, you've become a, it sucks that she decided she wanted to be a MAGA mascot. She wanted to go beyond just taking a photo, beyond just a tweet, beyond just like, I don't know. Like the T-Pusa thing was like, all right. Terrible.

super terrible, but it felt like, okay, maybe now you're circling back around. You're circling the rim again. It's a circle jerk is what you're saying. Exactly. You circled the rim and then you circle jerked. It is. Rosenberg, did you see that Katie Miller did like the, that little, like, TikTok challenge with her, the Bees in the Trap one?

And people were like celebrating. I'm like, do you guys know what a horrible person, Katie Miller is? Yo, she's, that is, that is the wife to the architect of someone who, if he could, would turn our country into Nazi Germany. This, this is, that is literally, she is, the interesting part is, she's doing this as a direct way to affect her immigrant status while immigrants are under attack in our country. The people that Nikki, her family, the people who. she grew up around are living in fear and under attack and it's not that she did the business behind the scenes used her power hey you could use my songs no no she has gone full on i want to be your number one fan in public you know run the video she held his hands they sat there and held

hands i never seen anything like this before ebro you've never seen this before okay thank you thank you On behalf of all the entrepreneurs in America, I'd like to thank you, Mr. President, because we create 72% of the jobs. Companies, 5 to 5% of employees, and all we care about is policy. We love policy, pro-business policy. Kevin Larry, I can't tell you. Play put it in your mouth.

Put it in your mouth. Oh, put it in your mouth. Yo, Aconnelli's from Queens, too, man. Shout to Queens. I can't. Put it in your mouth. He never goes. You know, and then she was up there.

She had some kind of Q&A, you know, talking about Gavin. You can stop him as well. Newsom, you know, she loves to call him Newcomb. She hates Gavin. But I think that has to do with her house being swatted and her quote-unquote asking for help. And she felt like nobody protected her. But I'm like, I don't understand. Laura, there has to be more to that story.

That's what I think, too. That's what I think she says it's about. But I thought it was also with her husband. I thought it was the husband being on the list and not registering. That's probably more what it relates to is because they live in California. Yeah. And there was some sort of push to probably get it removed and Newsom probably said no. Shout out to Kathy Hockel, by the way, who our governor who posted the Cardi B meme yesterday.

Right. And I got bad news for you. if you hadn't already been sort of surpassed in popularity by Cardi B, this is just going to make it worse. Cardi B, you could say what you want about her. And I know the Nikki Psychos have a lot of things to say about Cardi. Guess what? She's been on the right side of history.

She's been outspoken on the right side of history repeatedly. I mean, as you look at when you see posts and, you know, her fan bases, we already know, they're very aggressive. But it's just really interesting to see guys, like we've gotten to a point in our lives. where it's like, fandom makes people drunk. Like, people are so invested that they don't care who their person is. They don't care what they do.

They don't care, bro. Because there were so many of, like, look at her, she beat the system. She tricked them. She won. Everybody was, like, celebrating her. All her fans were celebrating and see a guest. And it just shows you how easily manipulated people are.

Like, all it takes is for your person to be, like, this is what we're doing now. I was just shocked to see how many people, people, Ebro, were just very much like, yes, celebrating it. Like, well, no, I do, which is why I brought it up. Listen, I, I, one of the most famous people in the world, okay, I'm not going to say any names, who is not a U.S. citizen, okay? And I'm not talking about Nikki Minaj.

This is about someone else. Told me, right, that they were concerned about their citizenship status. and I was like, yo, but you're you, first of all. Second of all, you're not like in any trouble or making trouble or even that outspoken recently. And why are you worried? And they were just like, I'm very scared that this person, Donald Trump, the new president, will try to make an example out of me. And so that's why I brought it up in the narrative that I brought it up in just now.

around we don't know what kind of duress Nikki Minaj is under Now did she have to go as far And put the whole thing in her mouth And then you know play with the scrotum from the bottom No, oh God No, you don't have to do that's that's that's that's that's that's That extra no that extra is when you care

All right, all right Ebro stop You know what I mean? You know what I mean? Give me the shouts to the legends You know what I mean? That's Sarah J-Wark right here But, but none of, I just wanted to kind of put it out there. Because I hate, I hate the whole thing, whatever. But once again, I was just thinking, I was started thinking about my own life.

And I started thinking about us, right? Where people assume you're all good. You don't know what kind of duress people are under, right? Like, you don't know what people are dealing with in real life, that they have to leverage the tools that they have to get safety or whatever and play the game. I don't know. I'll say this, though. It is unusual.

To Laura's point, early, this has been a very wealthy, connected person for a very long time. She also makes very bad choices. Yes, there is a history. She torches relationships.

She has gone after Jay-Z and Rock Nation obsessively. She, yo, there is part of me that believes that the beginning of her Trump turn could be as simple, as Cardi went Kamala, I think I like Trump. She makes bad choices.

She has for a long time. And as much as I can have grace and empathy if she really is in a bad way, are all the way she's in a bad way? Her choices? Who you chose to be with? These are all choices. These are all choices.

And so many people are getting forced to deal with ramifications for choices they're not able to make. They're immigrants in our country under attack right now. They don't have choices. They don't have choices and they're being attacked. This is a wealthy person living in a mansion, making bad choices, and then doubling down with more bad choices.

Shame on you, Nicky Minaj. Shame on you. Well, playing to put it in your mouth for me. Your legacy is going to go right down the toilet. So, you know, I know Seanie wants that moment for life on the top 50, but this is her moment for life. This is the moment yesterday, you holding those purple messed up hands

was your moment for life. That's what people are going to remember. Great job, Mickey. Yo, it's crazy too. When I got into it with her, she was so quick on that race and gender card. I guess now she's the anti-woke, though. Now she's the anti. You don't bring up race your gender anymore, right?

Because now you're team MAGA. So, don't play that card anymore. You're on the other side. Oh, no, she brings it up. Remember, she was she was a chastising black women for being mean to white women about beauty. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes, up there with Erica Kirk. That's right. That's right.

She is playing, she is doing it, but she's going the other way. That's right. Can I ask you a question about this Trump gold card? Can a, can the next president just be like, yeah, this is BS? Let's just get rid of all of it. I have no idea. I don't remember if these come from an executive order. But I feel that she can,

I feel like those can probably get wiped out. Now, if you already have gained the citizenship, that's an interesting question. I just keep going back to Laura's main thing. If this was such a big thing to you, you've had millions and millions for years. You're telling me the rich people can't jump the line. Well, well, I...

And connections, everything, everything. I'm saying I don't believe with her, with the history of bad decision making that you pointed out, and just, like maybe not paying attention. I do believe that either A, people did not think it was a priority or a concern until now. I don't think they, I don't think they, I don't think they felt concerned.

Deportation because the Trump administration is making her go to the Trump administration. Yes. And run to put it in your mouth and put it in your mouth. No. I don't believe that. I don't believe that. No? I don't know

That would be crazy And instead of doing the dance You had to go all the way to full Put it in your mouth With some scrotum from the bottom Stop Stop Yeah

She's doing the whole tour I think next week She's on Katie Miller's podcast She's doing it all Oh man The craziest thing is She has nothing to say Like here's the funniest thing

when she sits and talks with them and they're like, so tell us why does Donald Trump speak to you so much? She hasn't even done the work to sound like she means. But part of me well no, but part of me thinks that's the hustle.

I don't think she has any shame, guys. I think she has zero shame and is willing to do what I don't, but I don't, she has no shame. All of these people over there have zero shame, by the way. They have none. You can't shame them. You can't make them feel bad for their decisions. They, they are willing to do this. And she's probably looking at, A, I can get citizenship. Can I help my brother? Can I help my husband? Oh, my gosh. Donald Trump just made,

and power. And oh, and Donald Trump just made $1.54 billion more money than he's ever made in his entire life as president of the United States, scamming and taking from our tax dollars and scamming other governments and using the office to make money. She's like, I'm getting on that gravy train. She has no shame, bro. Hey. I can't, but it's hard for me to believe that after all these years of being the person that you've been in public, that within months you've made a full 180,

it's got, there's something in it for you. There's something in it for you that is important. Oh, that part I agree on. No question. I agree, but guys, maybe this is what she always supported. Like, maybe she truly was like, yeah. This is what I believe in. I believe, you know, it could be.

How do you like this Rolling Stone? Here's a Rolling Stone tweet. Two of the world's most infamous bullies, one of U.S. president bitten with the imperialist bug and another a rap icon known for attacking other celebrities online in her orbit, joined forces in Washington and a public show of support. Maybe it's just like-minded energy, bro.

Yeah. This is her vibe. Well, that's what Kanye said. He's putting out an album called bully now. Remember he put out he did his apology tour and now it's album time within a week. And remember Kanye was talking about I like Trump because he's got that dragon energy.

Remember all that dragon energy talk? And I'm still wondering if his apology letter, which once again, I'll go on the record, I like the apology letter. But it still doesn't explain all of the Trump. Man, play that. Yo, Kanye was at the desk, putting it in his mouth first. He beat you to it, Nikki.

He hit it first? He hit it first. And how did that work out for Kanye West, Nikki? Come on, man. Come on, man. It's something. It's bad. Listen, I got to apologize to everybody.

I don't know what's going on on. My Wi-Fi before we started the program. Everything was great. and then we started the show and it went south and it's been south the whole time. You didn't have any issues early. Zero. But we did all our tech, it was...

Could you like leave for a second and turn your Wi-Fi off and turn it back on and come back? Let me see. Let me see. This looks like pure ass. Laura, in the meantime? Yeah.

Here's my question. Okay. Are the Katie Millers and the Megan Kelly's and the Sean Hannity's and all the right people and the Erica Kirk's in addition to Nikki Minaj selling out you know who fans that she's had

and maybe any belief she previously had if she had any they also have to completely lie about their ideals to embrace her yeah her her music is about filth and sex and graphic nastiness over and over and over and over again throughout her entire career yeah if she were if she happened to be a supporter of the left,

they would vilify her. They would tear her up. Just like they did Megan and Cardi, remember? Exactly. So now they have to pretend that they don't hate everything she stood for previously. Yeah. It's going to be great.

And it doesn't surprise me. It's just the hypocrisy, bra. It's next level. Ybro, your video is much better. Your loud sniffling and breathing. All right. People can feel your mucus. on their screen.

I like it. I like it. I like it. I want you to film me. Laura, do we have a merch update? Yes. Everything's been, we're almost done shipping.

Almost done. There you go. Very exciting. We're actually prepping for the next drop. And let me tell you guys something. You better be following our IG account, Ibro, Laura Rosenberg. Because we're just going to announce it.

And then all of a sudden, it's gone. It's going to be another limited drop. So follow our IG account, because that's where we're going to announce it and drop it and, you know, give you all the links and all the good stuff. Because people were mad at us. They were just like, why? Why only two days? Why?

Why was it so fast? Well, the other part is, remember, like I said, in the beginning of the program, program, we're managing all this ourselves. There's no company behind this. So we want to, like, manage everyone's expectations, right? Like, Laura's with Laura and the merch team has been trying to get these T-shirts. You said we're still getting shipping done? It's been. It's been a week.

Yeah, it's been a week. Yes. But again, to your point, it's only us doing it. So calmate. No, no, I'm just. It's hand-to-hand. You know it's like a hand-to-hand combat. Listen, I'm aware.

I got the 400 different charges on my personal credit card for every single shipping label that Laura had to print. And I was like, yo, what is going on? I was like, chill. Well, how else are they doing, I guess? Well, no. Yeah. That was it.

She was like, that's the card you gave me. I was like, I didn't know you had to do individual charges for every single label. You know, I was like, Laura, what is happening? I'm like, we're going to upgrade next time. Right now? We're starting. We're probably going to. We probably should.

But here's the problem. No, it would be great to get a business card. Do you have a bank account? Well, no, aren't we going to make a bank account? We're going to. We got to make money, man. Where's the money coming from? There's money.

There's money. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Money's been, you see the money. It hasn't hit the any account yet. Not yet. It's not instantaneous. You know how long it takes for Shopify to pay out? Six years.

No, I don't think it's six years. No, I was legitimately asking. I have no idea when does Shopify give you the money that people spent. I don't know. No, I think you can take out of your Shopify account quickly. I do. I've used it before. It wasn't a long time.

I don't have a Shopify account. The merch manager does. She hasn't told me anything. I'm like, well, you kind of do. Yeah, you kind of do now. Yeah. Think about it. I don't know what the hell is what happens on a Shopify account.

And by the way, the people who've subscribed to Patreon, where's that money go? Patreon, Patreon is like after a month, you can start getting the money out. Right. So, boom. So at least 30 days from now, we'll hopefully be able to get a bank account. and then we'll be able to use that account to pay for more merch and other things. But in the meantime...

In the meantime, it's your credit card. But think about it like this. Thanks to your unraveling on the first Patreon. My unraveling on the second Patreon, we got loyal people who are enjoying the unraveling. And who knows what's going to happen next week. Well, now, Laura, you were at the studio yesterday. I'm in L.A. working on Versus,

which, you know, for everybody watching, remember, versus Mike Will made it versus Hit Boy is Friday from our Apple Music Studios here in L.A. at 8 p.m. Eastern, 5 o'clock Pacific. So I'm out here managing that. Plus, we got Grammy situations. Rosenberg is WWE dancing in Saudi Arabia for the Crown Prince and Triple H and everybody over there.

So that's going down. I'm just working. Yo, you wrote, hey, listen, let's not play the put-it-in-your-mouth music for your man Tim Cook at the Melania screening the other day. Oh, no, yeah, you got it. Listen, I didn't, I did. One of 90. Oh, no, he's in there.

In there. He was doing the dance. In there. But he's been. The movie. He's been doing, he's been doing the dance, though. Listen, that's his job. That's the job.

All we can do is all of us are working for people who are doing a dance. I just try to shoulder shimmy rather than put on the ballet shoes. That's all we can try to do. Well, at least you're not going to the champagne room. You're going full champagne room? Thank you. No. I'm doing the day. Well, back to the studio. Back to the studio.

I'm gonna'amena. And, like my music, my cabello can't be able to continue my rhythm. For so, Potion Nine of Sebastian Professional has everything my my hair needs.

Nutrition Profunda. Protection against the encrespaid. 99% less of rotura and punas abirtas under control. New Potion Nine of Sebastian

Professional, the secret professional of who not see in tendencies, but of who I was going to end with that, Laura, which is you were in the studio yesterday doing some updates.

How you feel about the studio? Turn your mic up, please. You're too low and we're too loud. All right, all right, right, right. But yes, Ebro. Yeah, go ahead. Talk to us. How was the studio?

No, I'm asking you. How was the studio? Oh, my God, it's great. Yesterday we were doing a lot of, like, we're dealing with professional lighting yesterday. And honestly, guys, I'm really happy. Like, I'm really excited. It looks really good.

I'm happy with everything. We have a great team. But, like, sitting there now, I sat there and I was like, this is it. This is it. So. What, no, did the lighting, you and Rosenberg were tinkering with lighting. There were some issues. I wanted the audience to maybe be able to tune in and see if we got it right.

Or maybe it's wrong. No. Well, I think we got it right this time. Okay. So what you saw on the Patreon is just a sneak. peak, guys. It was just a sneak peek, but moving forward, we are professional. No, it looks good.

I'm telling you guys. I'm very happy with it. All right, there you go. Now, Rosenberg, have you listened to this new Jay Cole. Birthday Blizzard. What's the feedback? What do you hear right? Wait, wait, wait, then let's go because it's in the rundown. Oh, that's in the rundown? Yes. I had no idea.

Any chance we have the rundown music? Maybe not. Laura got the rundown, turned that up. Screens on glow When she's up Headlines heavy But we still

Prep's prepared man Light still flashing We don't slow up Or Rahan one of them Somebody's prepared Yes I love it I love it

I love it I love it Now remember we talked about this guys You know we mentioned it Because well Jay to kind of mentioned it But yeah You're gonna have to turn the beat down

Or off though Sorry guys Jake Cole Surprised everybody To celebrate his birthday His 41st birthday to be exact with the birthday Blizzard 26. It's on

sale now. It's four tracks. It's pay what you want. You can pay a dollar. Pay whatever you want. So that's how he's doing it. Yes. And remember, I paid a dollar. I joined Jada podcast. He definitely, uh, you know, he's wrapping over some lockspeed. Somebody prior respect was in there.

And, uh, and Ken I live was one of the beats. Uh, what else was there? Uh, the who shot should be. Yep. So it was four tracks. And victory. And victory, I thought was one of them. And victory. Yeah. And victory.

But yeah, I, you know, this was the surprise mix tip that people were talking about before the album. The, um, also, I can't forget the, I don't know if you mentioned it, sorry. The DJ clue of it all. Yes, I'm sorry. Yes. I didn't even mention it. Yep. The Cluminade.

That definitely was a nice. Yep. A nice touch. And shout out to West Side Gun, who does have to get credit. West Side Gun and Tyler. really brought back the drama, the mixtape vibe. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

You're not going to give Kendrick a shout out for that for putting Kitt Capri on. What you call it? You know what? Does that predate gun? It probably does. The kid Capri. That's on damn. That's on damn.

Yeah. Yo, play the put it in your mouth music. My man, Ebro's taking my spot with Kendrick. Wait, what? No, that was good. I was joking. What? To actually play the music.

I literally just pointed out a fact. No, no, no. It was just a good, I'm jealous that I didn't, I didn't remember that. It is funny, though, how they made Ebro, the internet made Ebro the Kendrick Glazer, though. It's hilarious. No, no, that's not, but that wasn't the internet. That was Ebro. Ebro made himself the Kendrick Glazer, and then the internet had good observation.

But also, wait, how did I become the Kendrick Glazer? Wait, what? You don't remember this? Because you also were, you were the internet. anti- Drake and you were the Kendrick Glazer. Yes. It all came to. You're Jay Glazer, bro.

Wait. Hey, listen. I was watching a battle and I was watching someone lose and I was watching someone else do a better job and put out an amazing album after and then go on and perform at the Super Bowl and have one of the most historic

hip-hop moments ever. I was just covering it. The only one The only thing that I will call you a glazer on, and I say this as the original Kendrick Glazer, is the play my Kendrick music, the amount of GNX we played. Oh, yeah, no, I was trolling. I was trolling.

I was trolling. You put extra sauce on it. But by the way, by the way, if we was all right now, the way that GNX still rings off on my playlist, you know, play that Kendrick Lamar. No, but right, hold on, but right now we're talking Jay Cole, and the clue part is just a dope, like, addition to it. But Cole,

he's spitting on all four of these, man. You could tell he's got a battery in his back. You could tell Jay Cole is offended by people who have had things to say about him and the decision he made to step aside from that. But also taking accountability. Also, you know, saying, hey, you know, I had to make some decisions. And even to the point where he's like, look, I like being an underdog. You know what I'm saying?

I like the fact that I took a step off and had to start back at the bottom. and I'm still climbing past some of you cats right now. And I like being doubted. Now, there was talk where there was talk on, I think it's Golden Goose. The Golden Goose freestyle. Yeah, the Golden Goose freestyle where he says something to the effect of the tough guy image. And I saw people saying, oh, is he talking about Drake? Is he, you know, et cetera, et cetera?

And I don't know if that's been confirmed or denied. And I don't know if it ever will be. I think the internet assumes it's Drake. So I saw that. I saw that. Here's a quote. A lot of rappers make dough and be prone to lose it.

For crumbs, dumb-ish, they sold their soul to Lucian. N-words cheating, and I won't excuse it. And if I said it then that I wrote it, stupid, if the streams you say you win in, then why is your tour losing? When your math ain't math,

then of course you're juicing. That means the bots are, boosting. Cut the tough guy image. It is not conducive to breathe and don't gamble with your life because the ops is cruising. Word to Mike Vic, your dog

might get ish for losing. People are saying that that's towards Drake. But also, it could also be at Kendrick, couldn't it? But the dog's line. The dogs line, the tough guy image, the tour losing. The tour losing was because remember the Australia

a tour or the New Zealand leg that he had to cancel, but was it because of poor ticket sales? I don't think so. To say Drake's tour, if that's about Drake, saying his tour wasn't working does seem like a reach. Right. But those other lines,

but those other lines from Lucian on all the way toward to the end with the dogs, they do feel like they're going at Drake. And I'll say this. None of us have any idea what happened and what transpired between them.

But from what I've been able to gauge about how Drake and OVO move, anything that's not with them feels against them. And I could see a world in which they were not happy with what happened with Jay Cole. And Jay Cole, the kind of man he is, I could see him trying to extend a hand, have a conversation. Maybe it didn't go good. Maybe things went left. But that definitely sent, that ain't about Kendra. It's definitely not about Kendra.

And then, you know, people criticize Drake for the tough guy imaged when, you know, he's not. So they're, you know, so I thought that was interesting. Well, look, to your point, Rosenberg, any, any room for confusion here is not going to bode well with people not thinking this is about Drake. anything left up for interpretation that's going in this way is it must have been intended because Jay Coles a very calculated individual. That's right. Now, I will say this. I love the tape.

I love the birthday blizzard. I'm glad it happened. I paid my dollar to get it. I bought some vinyl on the falloff.com. But what it also helped me do, do is I went it was uh cold's birthday the other day so I went into that cold discography because there's a lot of stuff I like in there yeah uh there's a record on KOD called 1985 and in and in parentheses and in parentheses it says the intro to the fall off is the name of that record

which is I love that record uh obviously false profits is another one I think people should go back and listen to uh with Kanye back on the scene and you know while having such a great run right now. Another great record. And I say all of this to say that while these freestyles are phenomenal and I love them, it makes me more excited for the fall off project. Because Jay Cole albums

have been fire. The last three, four albums have all been fire. And I think Jay Cole is a better album maker. He's a better album maker than Drake. Full stop. Oh, what?

That's not even a... But I didn't, I didn't know that that was, I didn't know, like, I don't know people are having that convoy. Jay Cole's albums, the themes, the song selection over the last several albums have been top tier. He, guys, I was not the biggest Cole guy. I was very excited at the beginning, you know, did stuff with him on real late and SOBs and all that stuff.

And then I kind of faded for a couple of the early albums. I found him a little boring. man from Forrest Hills Drive on That's me Yeah me too He's been on the up and up ever since Just every album I like more And like Bourne Center

There's things I absolutely like on Bourne Center But then there's things I don't like home born center And he's another one we had the Jay Z conversation Yeah I never like Jay Cole chasing singles When he would go for the single It would be one I didn't like Wait what's the single that you hated

The TLC joint The TLC Joint. What was that? That was Crooked Smile. Yeah. Crooked Smile. Yeah. Crooked Smile is a hit, though.

That's a hit. It's a hit. No, they worked. It just never, never worked. I never liked. I never liked to do that. Oh, I hated Hoot. Oh, it was his first single.

I was like, I was fine with who that. No, I wasn't with that. Oh, you didn't like the workout. I didn't like that joint either. No, I didn't like workout. It wasn't for me. But, man, he's, F all that. F all that.

It's not how you start. It's how you finish. I think you can make the case He is the most consistently evolving Rap artist ever Yeah He's that good and And running a great business

Seemingly efficient business with merchant touring Right even even he shouts out his guy His guy JID we love JID Another artist who's Love J Ix Phenomenal phenomenal album just came out and a phenomenal rapper Like, and Mike, I think he's nominated for a Grammy, isn't he?

I think, is the album for Best Rap album? I think, isn't J-D. best rap album for a Grammy? Am I, or I'm making that up, or I wish that happened. No, hold on, let me look. I don't know if you're making that up. J-I-D Grammy nominations. Shout out to Boz, by the way, while we're at it as well.

Oh, man, boss, my God, love boss. Yeah, he's up. He's up for a rap album. You know what I mean? Yes, yes, he is. And best melodic rap performance. Yeah, man. Real quick.

Just real quick while we were going down this path of actually talking music, which I'm enjoying. Yo, man, have Ebro, have you listened to the IDK project? Love the IDK project. Yo, IDK might be one of the most criminally slept-on artists in hip-hop. Yep. Is that fair? That's a fact. That's fair and a fact.

And the way he works, the way the deals he's gotten done, the way he works, the, the collaborations. IDK and K Trinada. All of it, all of it, all of it. There's so much. got a song. He has a fire record. We'll play it on the next Patreon. He has a record produced by K. Trinada featuring

DMX on this project. No, it's crazy. No, it's crazy. Oh, wait, I got to hear this. He has Rizza on the project. He has Pusha T on the project. It's, yo, shout-outs, Conductor Williams, MF Doom. I was going to say Doom. IDK, it's a conductor MF Doom record.

IDK does incredible -ish, and I've always felt like, Ebro, there's a lot of people who were kind of like if they felt like they lost Kanye to his bullish I felt like IDK could have filled a void for you in your life musically energy like there is there's a Kanye influence in IDK that you can hear and I mean that from the best version of Kanye that you can hear in his music but he is just he's the man bro shout to IDK and that's another DJ joint that one's who kid oh wow yeah that's right it is who kid you know shout to who kid getting this

Getting his, getting his props, too, with this moment in hip hop history. Listen, 25, 2025 and 26 might turn out to be the turn that we needed to see to get back to some real MCing. And emcees, people who are really out here rapping using their MC skills, really getting to these bars, getting their flowers. because I think people saw, especially people who do this well, they're seeing the celebration of Waleigh. They're seeing the celebration of the clips. They saw what happened with Kendrick and how much the audience wanted to delve deep into Kendrick's lyrics

and understand what he was doing during the battle. Like there's been real MC hip-hop moments since the battle, let's be honest, there was a major reset during that battle. As much as, you know, people may have not liked how, turned out, you know, for whatever, but if you really love this hip hop, hip hop thing, and you're not just a fan of an artist, but you're a fan of hip hop. Yeah. Post-battle, I think hip-hop has been tremendously healthy.

Yeah, it's bounced back. There was a moment there where it was worrisome, and I was like, uh-oh, is this going to have a negative, a negative ramification. But if you really look up where we're at now and maybe the Grammys are, you know, not the typical place that you would look to see the health of hip-hop, I certainly wouldn't rely on the Grammys. when you look at let God sort them out

Chromacopia Dochi has become a star JID's only become a bigger star It's a pretty good time man It's a lot of good stuff Now before we wrap Today because I think we We got to wrap I got to let everybody know

Yes we're on the road Sorry about the technical issues today I want to apologize I thought I was good on my side Clearly I wasn't But But yeah the video I mean but if the video, the videos are the version.

Well, maybe that's what we should change the name of the channel. Because right there in the logo, you could just put Schmorg, S-M-O-R-G instead of S-H-O-W. Now we're having a conversation about this morning. You know what I'm saying? And Laura, thank you for the rundown.

Do you have anything for the lowdown? Okay, I do. Really quickly. Wait, wait, hold up. We need the intro. Okay. Oh, there's no devil today. Hold on to your speakers.

The time for the lowdown with Laura's time. Oh, guys. The sex workers are coming for 50 cents. Oh, this is down dirty. down dirty. Oh, man. So a man by the name of Clayton Howard, a sex worker, he's claiming that his story was misrepresented in the Sean Combs,

the reckoning documentary. He is suing 50 cents at Netflix. And he basically says that he feels that he was edited incorrectly. He said that they deliberately edited. edited, distorted, and misrepresented his story as a victim. And he says that he believes that they suppressed testimony, which points the finger at Cassie as being one of the people who sex trafficked him. Yeah. Damn.

So that's, yeah, he's not happy about that. So he's coming after 50 and he's coming after Netflix. Well, I can't say this is a shock, can we? Not at all. There was going to be things like this in the aftermath. Well, look, if you want to dance with the devil, you want to get down in the dirt, the mud, the mire. I know I don't need to talk to Satan today,

but if you want to get out in the mud yesterday, if you're going to get down in the lowdown, it's going to get low down. You know what I'm saying? Low down. And that's what this is, man. That's it, guys. So we'll keep you posted as that lawsuit, you know,

Let's see if it continues. Have you, Laura, have you seen the news circulating about the video of Alex Pready kicking the light off the back of an ice vehicle prior to the shooting? No, I just saw somebody sent it in our chat, but I saw it yesterday. I saw it yesterday and my first thought was good. They're going to do everything they can to villainize this man. Good, but that still doesn't excuse you. That still doesn't.

You shot the man in the back while he was on the. the ground. So you can circulate whatever videos you want to circulate. He kicked a car light. He did whatever. He was on the ground. He did not pull a weapon out and you shot him in his back. Shut your bitch ass up.

You know what I saw? I see you trying. They thought that would be a mic drop video to show. Right. Right. Right. What I saw in that video was, another example of him being out engaging, had his gun legally and nothing happened. He wasn't going for his gun. He had his gun with a

again. He moves around with his gun. That's what he's allowed to do. I thought you guys like that. And he wasn't pointing it. Right. He wasn't pointing in at people. Like that other crazy ass couple with whoever they were. Remember, they were just out of their law and pointing the gun. Yeah, we've seen a lot. I mean, what's your man name? Rittenhouse. Rittenhouse. Rittenhouse. Writtenhouse. Rittenhouse. Oh, yeah. And he used it. Written. Ritten's, you didn't burricks him by accident. I did say Rittenberg. Definitely not. No, no. There's a house. He's a house. He's written house. No, why are you adding an ER to it?
