The Ebro-Lara Rosenberg Show.
We are live.
Okay.
Almost on time, too.
Very, very cool.
No, it's very cool.
No, it's crazy.
And right before we went live,
Rassan was trying to act like he was ready to go live,
but he wasn't ready to go live.
Yeah.
And when I asked.
He was almost.
He was almost.
But when I asked, he was like,
of course.
But he was like, wait, when did you?

get the algorithm really riggedy rocking on a Monday
you know Mondays are like one of the bigger days of the week for
yeah yeah
when people I guess that's people are up and going to work
or up and not going to work I don't know
Or just jumping at the show early.
Maybe there's a sense of urgency after the weekend.
That could be it.
Yeah.
And, you know, speaking of the algorithm, man, my constant proof of people live in their own world.
And one of the main people who I see that in my life is Ebro.
Okay.
Do you see Ebro's response in our chat today?
Which one?
That he had never seen the Jim Carrey thing.
I'm going to need to be filled in.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I was surprised.
I didn't, yesterday.
Was this all yesterday?
No, bro, this is from Thursday.
Yeah, I didn't see it at all.
I didn't see one thing on Jim Carrey.
No, we all live in our own, each individual sculpted reality.
How about this?
I saw a Jim Carrey throwback post of him doing something, didn't investigate further.
And Jazz actually brought up Jim Carrey in the house.
Like, I need to know what's going on with Jim Carrey.
So you did hear things.
It made it to your peripheral, but you didn't see the post after post.
Yeah, but I was in storage wars, man.
Saturday was like, you know, Alvin Ailey, running around with Issa getting her.
I went to see, are you guys familiar with Freya Sky by any chance?
No, I saw you went somewhere, but I didn't know what it was.
So the teenage girls like Freya Sky, British winner of, I think, or runner-up,
something on a show called Eurovision, which is a talent show.
Yeah, not familiar with.
Big show, but she's the, she's brolic on there.
Anyway, she had a show at the Hammerstein Ballroom on Manhattan Center, so we went over there.
One of her besties is big fan.
Issa was, like, okay, I've heard of me.
She's the medium fan.
Yeah, but her friend was a big fan.
So all the dads that are kind of part of the Alvinalee Dad click,
a couple of dads linked up.
We went to Freya Sky, went to dinner.
It was that Saturday.
And then Sunday, I was storage wars, man.
What does that mean?
That means, you know, the house is getting cluttered.
Jazz is frustrated with the clutter.
I'm constantly like, well, let's just throw it away.
Let's just throw it away.
Let's just throw it away.
And she's like, no, I want to keep this and I want to keep that.
want to keep this and we have three car seats and a duna and a this and a that and a
so i was like look let's get some bins and let's get into these storage
so in storage this weekend i was in storage all day so that's why i'm not up on but this is but you're
up on a lot you're changing he this isn't like an indictment this is just the world we live in
listen if you're not in my first few scrolls i may not catch but like i feel like that just
kept i'm not like i don't know why it hit me it just kept hitting and then people like basically jim
Kerry showed up to an award show last week, the Brits or whatever it was, or Bafters,
whatever the hell it was. And when he showed up, everyone's like, he has a whole new face.
The funniest part of this is I'm such a Jim Carrey defender.
Like in my brain, I like, not that I'm some obsessed fan, but I like him so much.
Yeah, yeah.
Love what he stands for.
Love the things he says.
And I'm like, he looks fine to me.
He looks fine.
No.
And yeah, there we have it.
It was actually an impersonator wearing a prosthetic.
It was not Jim Carrey.
No, listen.
But I believe that was Jim Carrey and I was fine.
The person on the left here is not Jim Carrey.
No.
No.
Go back to it.
Let me say it again.
His name is Alexis Stone.
He's known for changing his, he's a makeup artist.
And other people's looks.
Yes.
I think he made Tim, Kim Kardashian.
I mean, it looks like Jim Carrey to me, though.
Yo, I wouldn't have thought nothing.
And everyone's freaking out.
I'm like, so my man had a little Botox.
He had a little like, oh, because he looked a little fuller.
They were like, he looks so different.
I was like, he's not a different person.
He turns out.
He's a different person.
He does not have Mar-a-Lago face.
No, it wasn't Mar-a-Lago face.
Ricardo sends it to me.
He's like, it's a clone.
And I was like, oh, God, here we go.
You know, he always sends me.
He gets parisies.
And I was like, whatever.
Then I was looking at, like, the nose.
I'm like, the nose is different.
But I was like, all right.
Next thing you know, I see that.
It was finally revealed that it was.
So, yeah, but it was just, it was a big,
everywhere I went.
On IG, it popped up.
On Twitter, it popped up.
I got news for you. I wouldn't have cared.
That's probably, I wouldn't have delved into it at all.
Did I send, I didn't send it to the group.
It didn't affect my life.
No.
I'm just surprised that that's what I mean when he's like, someone's going to have to explain
this to me.
It's crazy that we all are in our phone scrolling things and we are all seeing.
And I thought it was a bigger deal.
Like if that would have came across my timeline and people were like, have you seen Jim
Kerry?
I'd have been like, what happened?
That's why it was my, that was my response too.
I'm just going, okay, he looks a little bit.
All these people in their late 50s and 60s to me look like different people.
Yes.
Because very few of them are just letting it go now.
Well, you definitely start to look different after 50.
I got news for you.
After 50?
After 50, 55, you're looking different.
Because remember, Hove and even Farrell and a lot of cats were looking pretty,
Nause, they were looking the same, same, same, same, same, same, same.
50, mid-50, it's like, oh, you're starting to age a little bit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, which is natural.
No matter how much money you got, it's going to hit you.
I can think of an example.
I'll be able to think of some examples where you're wrong.
I'll tell you what.
There's probably some.
Does that Sam Jack video that was moving around?
Sam Jack's like what, 75?
Was this, was this happened?
The N-A-C-E image awards?
He looked great.
Well, look, some people have been old a long time.
Facts.
Facts.
Morgan Freeman is, who knows how old?
150?
We don't know.
And he's been old for a long time.
Sam Jack's kind of been old since he rolled up and coming to America with the shotgun.
Yeah.
He's kind of been old since then.
He's 77 now?
How long ago was that?
That's 87.
So is that?
37 years?
He was in his life?
late 30s. Yeah. But he looked old.
See? I'm going to let you know he was old then. So it's true.
He's 88. Oh, God bless him.
88 years old. So Morgan Freeman's been old my entire life.
Yeah. Although I'll tell you the age thing is weird, man. The people who you thought of as
being super old and then found out they were in their 50s at that time or late 40s and
you're like, that's how people see us. I know. And then you look at your age now and you're like,
nah. No, we're old though. No, I don't think people see us and think those guys got to be
definitely in their 60s. No, absolutely people. Well, they don't say you. You. You.
Maybe. They don't say 60s, but old to them is 40, especially for the 20s. Oosievert fans,
they think I'm old. Well, you call yourself old and you've like, but I just, I play ahead.
You're very gray and you played ahead. Yeah. Why not? Besides that, though, you wouldn't be that old.
Yeah. I think the times have changed. I think old in the 80s and 90s. It's just different.
Of course. Of course. And also, we're starting to see people who, who engaged in a lot of plastic
surgery. And as they age, you really see a different. Yeah, that's true too. They end up looking,
They end up looking extra nuts.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, let's not even pull up.
What's going on with the Osbournes, bro?
I know.
Well, we didn't play Sam Jack's.
You want to see the Sam Jack now?
You brought up Sam Jacks.
Oh, no.
I don't see that before I'm inundated with whatever you go.
Yeah.
I am somebody.
Looks great.
It doesn't matter where you live or who you are.
You matter because say it with me.
I am.
Somebody.
You can overcome any obstinate.
because I am somebody.
And we will continue his mission.
Sam Jack doing the Jesse, though,
does feel like a sketch to something.
It does.
And we will not be erased
from this country's history.
Because we are,
and because of you,
we are right on.
Now, do we have Dionne Cole at the same,
at the same N-A-C-P image?
Now, which Dionne Cole do you want?
Because he had a few moments that were cool.
I know.
I know.
Which one do we have?
I had the one where he brought up 50 cent and the prayer, right?
Where he's talking about Nikki Minaj.
Oh, okay.
I was going to use that in the rundown, but go ahead.
Oh, my fault.
My fault.
Lord, I want you to bless our sister Tiana Taylor, Lord.
Keep her single and weigh from six three green-eyed men with muscles, Lord.
Give the average man a chance with her, Lord.
Hell, give the average woman a chance with her as well.
Lord, I want you to bless our brother 50 cents, Lord.
Damn, that's on it.
Why have to?
But that pettiness beginning our day going by fast at work, don't it?
You know what, Lord, bless him with some more petty ideas, Lord.
That'll help us at work, Lord, definitely.
Lord, we want you to bless our sister Nikki Minaj, Lord.
Yes.
She's been going through a lot lately, Lord.
It hasn't been herself, Lord.
I believe whatever's in her ass is affecting her brain, Lord.
Take it out of ass, Lord.
We bind that spirit in our ass, Lord.
I respect Dionne Cole doing a full prayer bit at the NAACPM of the way.
That's the envelope pushing.
I think it's the second year in a row.
He did it last year.
Oh, the same bit?
Same bit.
That's a good.
If you want to push the envelope in like a black room like that,
going to straight church bit is, that's edgy stuff from Dionne Cole.
I like that.
I like you.
No, Nikki is catching it at every, every gathering of famous people.
They are taking a moment to let her know what's going on.
How can they not?
How can you not?
How can you not?
It's bananas.
It's ridiculous.
And it's so over the top.
It would be one thing if she was like, if it had been in any way a lighter version of what it's been,
I think maybe she could have skated it a little bit.
The fact that it's so over the top, you know, the posting Trump's Bible.
She posted a signed Bible.
I'm not seeing any, once in it.
again. I went and looked. No, this was me, I went and looked. I went what she even saying recently on her
page. I am, you know. I saw the same Bible. And this is going to be Mr. President, thank you,
this is one of the most important items I'll ever have in my life. And it's a signed Bible.
Congratulations. From a man who's never read the Bible. Why would you want a sign? Of all the,
signed dollar bill from Trump, you know, I'm getting, if you were a Trump person and you had a
signed dollar bill from, like, cool, that's, that's who he is. He's a money guy. Why?
a Bible? Because he was selling the Bibles. I can't even believe that religious people allow this
to happen, right, without protesting. Yeah, which is, which is also why I've almost tuned out
of a lot of things with him. Because it's so, yeah, some of it is just so ridiculous. We're not playing
such a, it's, we're not even talking about. You had, you put out Trump Bibles. You put out
your own version of the Bible. You don't even care. You don't even, you're not even committed to the
bit. If you were committed to the bit, you wouldn't do a Bible. It's too far. After that interview
years ago, when they're like, what your favorite Bible?
He's like, oh, I love them all.
There are too many.
And he could not come up with one.
And then there's a thing with Mickey doing the same thing.
I would take it the other way.
I would even say maybe that's why he did it.
He was like, oh, I got away with that.
Let me keep running it.
Run this thing up.
And he did.
And by the way, the Bibles are free.
He's charging for his.
That's how.
Yeah, you can get one how.
Congratulations.
You praise yourself.
You can get one at any hotel you go to.
That's right.
They're free.
Walk right in.
No problem.
That's right.
They're always at the little drawer next to me.
That's it.
I didn't know anyone needed a Donald Trump.
Imagine being a religious person and be like, let's pray tonight, guys.
Let me grab my Donald Trump Bible real quick.
No, you need a mental healthy vow, sir.
That's crazy.
A lot of people out here need a mental healthy vow,
especially after this weekend where we go full, we go full war with Iran, huh?
Full war.
That's where we're at now.
You know, I think people said this was going to happen.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Before people voted for him.
people said that this was what he was going to try to do
people told everyone that Israel
would have complete control over him
and now we are Israel's being bombed
Dubai was I saw some videos
Dubai called some with somebody called it
something caught on fire
Yeah
Missiles are going to Dubai Dubai got hit some of something
Qatar got hit with something
Multiple places are getting hit with things falling out
Either I guess from attacks on bases
or just things being intercepted in the sky.
I have one of my old interns,
I still follow her on Instagram.
She is stuck in Dubai right now.
She's scared and she's been
kind of documenting everything she sees.
She's just stuck.
She's like, there's no flights.
I'm stuck here.
She's a flight attendant, by the way.
Wow.
And when could that end?
If the war doesn't end,
when is Dubai going to say,
when will they know the airspace is safe?
I don't know, but it's very scary.
Although I'm starting to like,
I keep going in different directions
on the whole.
United States, Israel, Iran thing in terms of like where I point exactly what it's at.
Is it that Israel owns Trump and can do whatever they want?
Yes.
No, is it?
Or is it that Israel just is the United States?
Yes.
So it's not, that's the thing because the other version of it.
Here's why I point out the distinction.
The other version of it, to me, makes, it's always the Jews of the scapegoat.
So if we say Israel controls the United States, to me that's also can be easily part of another
picture of because the Jews run everything.
But aren't we fighting against that narrative that all Jews are aligned with Israel is not a thing?
We're trying.
We're trying our best.
Right here on this show.
I mean, just on this show.
No, on this show.
So let's just act like that's not the same thing.
You got to kind of, you got to do the work.
You're actually smart enough to know that not the same thing.
Fair enough.
But I also do think like we keep acting as if Israel is ever going to do something in this stage.
Are they really going to act without the United States or is it really they're all the same thing?
BB can pressure him like their friend
They've definitely
They've definitely recently acted
Without the United States
They did make the rogue
The first attack was pretty rogue right
Yeah and but also
The cutter attack
Right they've done that
That's happened
So yes
So one sense
And that's why I say yes to both
Right right right
They do whatever they want
Yes
They kind of can bitch them around
Yes
But they also mostly are just doing it
With the United States
As backing weapons
And not only that
but even if the United States acts like their hands off,
I think in some regard, the United States is like,
yeah, yeah, go do that because we can't do that.
Which is the whole point of the agreement anyway.
That goes back to that, though.
That really it's just an outpost for the United States in Israel.
And like, you know, I saw a post a conversation earlier.
Don't forget, like, the Christian Zionist movement
is in scale, I believe, donations, et cetera,
bigger than the entire Jewish population of the world.
Yeah.
There are more Christians who are like,
we need to make sure that the Jews have Israel and Israel is safe.
There are more Christians saying that than Jews.
Well, you can't just say Christians anymore either.
No, of course not.
You have to say right-wing Christian nationalist.
Yeah.
You got to say the whole thing.
Sycophants for the end of the world for the Jesus' return,
like literal sycophant.
The full right-wing crazy,
living their life under the Jesus is coming home.
And by the way, it's our job to make it happen.
Not that you can't have a belief in your heart or something that Jesus is coming back,
but once you start dictating policy around the book, we've got a problem.
Well, no, no, no.
And starting war for on behalf of the book.
That's what this is all.
That's a part of this.
So the Iran thing, if you're wondering, and so some people are talking about the oil, right?
Iran's oil and Venezuela's oil have a relationship.
Do you guys all know about this?
Remind us.
Apparently Venezuela's oil is so heavy crude that to pump it and move it, they need something in Iran's oil to do it.
And that's what the relationship was all about.
Yeah, Ricardo was telling me that too.
You mean, this would explain why even though Trump said that the nuclear capabilities had been taken out in Iran already,
now that the Venezuela thing has happened, that's why all of a sudden we have to go back to Iran.
Yeah, whatever, whatever lie they told.
Netanyahu's been acting like Iran's going to have nuclear missiles in tomorrow since 1987 or so.
So let me ask you this, though.
Yeah.
That is that piece related to the oil too?
Or is that just related to Netanyahu's crazy vision of like domination, expanding the Middle East?
So now this is where we all start to work in concert.
What are your interests?
What are my interests?
Oh, maybe this works together.
Yeah, I don't like Iran.
I want them out.
I want freedom to do whatever I want in the Middle East.
We've made friends with a lot of the other Muslim countries.
You got to remember, America is only interested if there's money to be made.
That goes all the way back to World War II.
I thought that they were doing this because they wanted to free the people.
No, because if they wanted to free the people, then they would be doing this a lot of places.
There has to be a financial interest, right?
Like, because, remember, don't ever forget how President Trump allowed the Taliban back in control of Afghanistan.
Remember they all wrote, they wrote a note, a love letter.
Yeah, I remember the letter.
like, hey, you guys can have Afghanistan.
Afghanistan is still in shambles.
Yes.
So it's not about the people.
No.
There's just nothing in Afghanistan that we want right now.
What was flooding my timeline all of a sudden was just like, obviously, look, I know,
I know people who live in Iran who are happy, right, celebrating finally that they feel
like this is going to be an answer to like over 40 years of, you know, the craziness they
were living under, right?
There's this video that I saw.
I don't know if it came across your timeline, but it's like an Iranian person
when Amalgah had saying, I don't understand.
This is not about left or right.
Why can't you guys see that?
We're finally free, right?
Why would you, why would Democrats be against this?
I'm like, well, because they didn't want them bombing schools.
Did you see the all-girls schools that was bombed?
All those children that were innocent children that were killed.
You know, seeing those images of those bloody backpacks will send you somewhere else.
I didn't see those images.
And not only that, but so, Muhammad, most, most of the good.
dead. How did you pronounce his name? He was the duly elected president or leader of Iran.
Before, after two years, this was during Nixon. After two years, we ousted him. And we put in the
Shah. The reason the government in Iran is the way it is today is because of the United States of
America. But there's always how it is. And so the Shah was in there. So the Muslim population,
the kind of conservative Muslim population of Iran
and leftists in Iran
were so upset with how the Shah
and how corrupt the Shah was running Iran
that they exiled the Shah
and put in this current
type of government
because they thought that the Shah had lost his values,
his religious values,
he was too aligned with the West,
etc., etc.
Iran's been trying to have their own thing for a long time.
Now, did they elect some bad people
or some bad people took advantage of them
and it's been horrible for the last,
I don't know, however many decades,
absolutely, according to what we know.
But guess what?
This happens.
Here, that was the next line.
And in Israel.
Yes.
So that's the problem is that when people point out,
and this is fair,
and people are asking this in earnest,
but isn't he bad?
Isn't the Aitola bad?
This guy's bad, right?
Yes, but so are all the other players involved.
And for right now, the idea of celebrating, obviously I couldn't tell someone from Iran what to feel, but from my perspective, they're going, they're immediately going to have someone who's the same or worse, who's there.
Well, celebrating like it's better.
Trump was just talking to press yesterday.
And they were talking about how they basically killed the potential first, the Ayatollah, the second in charge, the third in charge, all these people are apparently dead.
And Trump was basically like, yeah, who we thought.
was going to be the second is dead and who we thought was going to be the third in line is also dead.
So they don't there he's basically like let's see how this works out. But in the meantime, they're going to be
trying to get in there and get this oil. Now obviously the fear that I have and I'm trying to get my
make sure my wife doesn't because she did two nights ago spend her nights doom scrolling and going
to very dark places. Right. Is that what I guess gives me the most agita at this moment personally
for our loved ones and ourselves just being selfishly is if they, if they're,
attack, if someone decides they're really going to make an impact, they would probably do it
through terrorist means. That's probably what they would do. It could be in Israel. It could be in the
United States. It could be at a base somewhere, right? And we know they've already killed Americans
with strikes, but I'm saying some sort of terrible terrorist attack. If God forbid that were to
happen, then where are we going? Where are we going from there? If God forbid... We go to full-scale war.
Then we go to full-scale war. But this full-scale
war is not Colin Powell and it's not other people who were also men of war who are not heroes
those were the headlines yesterday you saw those no new stories where people were like um all of the
responsible individuals that worked in the defense department have been fired who's in there making
these decisions so it's going to be pete haggseth who's decided it is going to be a joke of a human
being not only like an inexperienced person but a seemingly unkind kind of violent leaning person
You guys, remember the whole leaks on the signal chat?
Remember that?
Of course you did.
The whole leak with the journalist signal chat thing.
Yes.
So I didn't send the video over, but there's a video of what's the guy from TMZ, Harvey?
Harvey Levin.
Having a conversation with a journalist who's in D.C. at Joe's Crabb.
And the guy from the journalist decides to jump on with Harvey Levin from a restaurant.
Harvey's like, why are you at a restaurant?
He was like, well, I was going to run somewhere else and do this.
but I was listening to an interesting conversation.
And Harvard was like, what conversation you're hearing?
He was like, I think we're going to this Iran thing's going to happen today
because he was sitting in a booth next to people who work.
Oh, my God.
And he was on TMZ.
At Joe's Crab Shack.
At Joe's Crab in D.C.
Look how loose this is.
Listening to a conversation next to him about what's about to happen in Iran.
About 10 hours before it happened.
If you want top secret, go to Joe's Crabb.
Guys, the moment of Saturday was so brutal.
So for everybody.
But I woke up to a text from my dad that I think I can't really see that well when I wake up in the morning, particularly.
And I look at my mom.
I just see it says, I think it said, yep, war or whelp war.
This is me waking up in Chicago.
On October 7, 20, 23, I woke up.
in Indianapolis, Saturday morning, same thing, right?
I'm like, oh my God, within hours of that,
my brother hits me and says,
did you hear that Coleman McCarthy died?
Coleman McCarthy was my peace studies teacher
from high school.
But to say he was a teacher is like a massive understatement.
He was this incredible man who chose to teach peace
with his time after being a journalist
and a trappist monk and a scratch golfer who played two
to be a PGA tour events
and a guy who interviewed
Mother Teresa and Desmond Tour's
Most interesting man in the world.
Bro.
I didn't even realize,
until reading his obituaries this weekend,
I didn't realize,
I didn't remember the monk part
that he spent five years as a monk.
He stopped by a monastery
and decided to stay for five years.
Wow.
And then essentially, like,
couldn't deal with the not talking
and doing stuff.
It was like, I probably,
they said to him,
like, you should probably,
if you're desperate to go to town
and read the newspaper,
this isn't the right place for.
Five years.
That was like in the early 60s.
and then he ends up becoming a journalist
and getting to write,
but he became a sports writer at first,
but as the story he always tells is,
he kept asking,
when did the Dodgers leave Brooklyn?
And people were like,
this isn't suited for you either.
So he just became this, you know,
incredible voice for peace everywhere he went.
The Washington Post in 1969, where he started,
and he ended up in my high school in 1982
saying, I'd like to teach a class for peace.
They were like, well, we don't do that.
We don't have money for that.
He's like, I just want to do it.
and then he spent the rest of his life until he passed away last week at 87,
teaching over 15,000 students.
When I tell you this man was of principle,
like there's no line in which he breaks when it comes to violence.
None.
None.
So there's not an animal product that he wears.
There's not an issue in which.
So when I went to his class,
every, there's always like a few conservative kids who would go to class.
I'm gonna get him. My parents been telling me about this Coleman McCarthy and when I get to his stupid
Peace Studies class, I'm gonna let him know the time it is. And these were like some of his favorite kids.
Like he loved this because he wanted all of it. Like he wanted all of it and so often, I'm not saying he would turn all of those kids into like peace knicks,
but he would change the way they saw the world for sure. And they would always come on them, what about this
situation? What about that situation? And it was always the same. Even in uncomfortable situations,
abortion, anti-abortion.
Did not believe the government had the right to be involved in abortion choices,
but believe that people should learn all the alternatives to abortion.
And he taught all, no, he taught us how to walk out a class.
He leads walkouts every year.
There's always, he's always outside with the kids pissing off all the other teachers
because he's got all these seniors outside.
Maybe the most impactful thing he did in my class, and he did this many times,
was when you got to the death penalty part.
He brought in a woman
whose daughter had been murdered
by a drug addict.
Oh gosh. They had let a drug addict
stay in their house essentially. Yeah.
And the drug addict
ended up murdering. No, I may be confusing stories.
Either way, her daughter was brutally
murdered by a drug addict.
And she ended up
forgiving this man
and then befriending this man.
and then kind of became like sort of his family as the years went on.
And she came and spoke to our class.
Bro, to watch people's brains melt as they can't understand
not having the,
not following the instinct of vengeance and violence,
but you're stuck because you can't say anything to her.
Yeah.
What are you going to tell her she's wrong?
That she's found the way to find peace for herself.
Because Coleman's being anti-violence also extended to those who had committed violence.
You know what I mean?
So no matter what the subject was, the Holocaust, he will tell you about the towns that peacefully resisted.
I was watching a video of him yesterday going over seven countries in the last like 30 years that all overthrew their governments without violence, with strikes, with so many different ways to do it.
He changed so many people.
He was such an amazing guy.
That's one of the main plot lines in that show shrinking, I love.
I just started watching it.
Hey, nice.
I got to catch back up.
Wait, what's one of the main story?
Well, the daughter whose mother got killed and the main character.
What's his name?
The guy.
Jimmy.
Jimmy.
His wife gets killed by drunk?
Drunk drivers?
Was he drunk?
Yes.
He was drunk.
But anyway, his wife gets killed.
Yeah.
That's in it from the beginning.
That's in it from the beginning.
And he's raising his daughter.
Right.
And, you know, all of that.
He's angry.
Angry, but then he goes on his own journey of drugs and irresponsibility.
and things that have affected his daughter also.
So you got, mom died, I'm supposed to be the responsible parent,
but because I'm hurt also, my hurt is now not being there for mine, my child.
But anyway, they, you know, I'm not going to give it all the way,
but they end up befriending, and the daughter ends up getting close to the man
who killed her mother.
Oh, wow.
I did not know that's in this season or that second season.
That's second season.
And end up getting close to him.
And then just that whole, and he needs them.
and they need, because he's so remorseful,
but they are in pain,
and then they end up clicking,
I ain't going to give the whole thing away,
but it's right there.
But it's right there.
It's in the show, yeah.
So I don't want to spend all day making people sad,
but like my heart hurt Saturday.
And he was 87 years old.
He died in Dominican Republic.
His wife had died three years ago.
They'd been together forever.
So, you know, he died of pneumonia at 87.
It happens.
Yeah.
I am sad because we don't have a lot of people
who are willing to,
to literally give up everything to teach peace.
And like he had to fight and struggle to teach peace.
Like it was everyday effort to get people
to let him teach a class on this.
And now when you say we, you mean we, us in this room
or we us in the world?
No, we in the world.
So this is not happening anymore or something?
Well, his program continues.
It's at the places it is.
But I just don't know, like,
we can't afford to lose a lot of people
who are willing to dedicate their whole life to this.
Coleman's whole thing was it's easy to teach peace.
All you have to do is start.
You know, pick up the books, start reading, you know, and start talking about it.
But obviously, and I was looking through my emails with him.
And in 2007, an article came out about me in the Washington City paper.
And he's like, Peter, I could just read it in his voice in my head.
He said, Peter, I read the article.
It's very impressive.
We're all very impressed.
By the way, he's very funny.
Ish Talker, funny.
He grew up with a stammer, so it's kind of built in that he has a little bit of
when he talks, like he has a whole
he has a gimmick, right? And watching
his old clips, it's like watching him do stand-up.
I know all the routines, okay? He did it
in every first class. He do
the same quiz in every first class, pull out a $100
bill, set the $100 bill down, all the kids get
excited, and he goes, who's Robert E. Lee?
And they raise their hand. Who's Ulysses S. Grant?
They raised their hand. Who's Napoleon?
They raised their hand. And then he starts saying, you know,
who's Emily Bulch? Who's Jeanette
Rankin? He starts naming the great peacemakers,
and nobody knows who they are. And he goes,
that's because R, you should go back
and sue your school district because we're all being ripped off with fake education and he would go out,
you know, he has the whole thing. But this, this man, I forget the point I was trying to make
on that specific spot. Here's, uh, you're saying he had a routine in his whole, you know, you can,
oh, oh, so I remember the email. Thank you, bro. So in 2007, he wrote me. I saw the article,
Washington State paper. Oh, Peter, very impressive, very impressive. You've done, you've done your
Larry King thing now. It's time to do the real work and come home and teach. That's where we need you.
And he was dead ass because he always thought I was a great student who was super passionate about these issues.
He was like, it's time.
Good run.
And then I saw another email from him in 2014.
And I responded, by the way.
In 2014, he wrote me.
And he were like, not yet.
I'm trying to get to this rap station.
I know.
Exactly.
I wasn't here yet.
2014.
He's like, I just saw the New Yorker.
Well.
And he had like a different tune.
Like he was now starting to believe maybe I could make an impact.
But to him really, no matter how famous or big,
get talking. The real work was in
teaching peace. Baskam, I gave a clip.
I couldn't decide there's so many great clips.
Here is, this is like
during the Obama administration,
someone asked him about
what should be done
about the Iran
missile problem.
What would you do with the Ayatollahs?
I would do what
exactly what we said before. If you want to have
a chance for peace, don't talk to your friends.
Talk to your enemies. Obama, get on the
airplane and fly to Kabul.
and go talk to them.
Oh, oh, you can't talk to evildoers.
You hear that.
And we demonize them.
It makes it easier to kill them.
Oh, they're sub-humans.
And so we did it with China, and it worked.
We did it with Soviet Union.
It worked.
And that's what we ought to do.
Instead, we keep demonizing each other.
You remember during 1991, George Bush wanted to find out,
what can I get the public to do to get behind me?
that I can go invade Iraq.
They did a poll and they came back,
call Saddam Hussein another Hitler.
And that's what Bush call him.
The next day,
what Saddam Hussein called Bush.
He's the great Satan.
You see, you're Hitler and Satan fighting each other.
They were demonizing.
And so that's what, you see, very few politicians will do that.
They appeal.
they all you have to do is say we're being attacked
that's what gobbles once said
and and why you tell them the public
we're being attacked
condemn the pacifist for being disloyal
that last bar is what you're seeing right now
everyone who's being a pacifist about this
and simply saying I'm against a war is being called disloyal
happens every single time no every time
and I'll be honest once again back to the algorithm thing
and he seems like
a great man, by the way. He was.
Coleman, rest in peace. Go look him up and get all his
books. He's got a million books. He's got a million videos.
I promise you will love this man.
Coleman, I loved you. You were the best man.
Thank you for sharing that, Rosenberg. Thanks for letting me share it, guys.
He brought up a good
point where he was like, Obama go talk to him.
Obama did end up talking to him.
Yeah, in the end, we ended up
getting an agreement there. And there was an agreement.
And they stopped enriching uranium
to get towards a nuclear
warhead, and they were allowing international
inspections.
and the sanctions got lifted and people had a problem with that.
And then Trump tore up the deal and now we're here.
Yep.
And a lot of...
I missed a step in there.
Trump tore up the deal and they started enriching uranium and they're very close to a nuclear warhead for real now.
Now they are.
Yeah.
Because the deal was torn up.
Yeah.
But what about when we did it and Trump said we had the most successful attack of all time?
Well, clearly not because we're back again.
Congratulations.
So here's my question.
yourself. Are we back again because they really, on some level, they did really enrich uranium
and are getting close? Or is it because of the oil thing or both? Well, I think, it's, look, if you're
going back because they enriched uranium, the reason they're enriching uranium is because they feel
like you're trying to cut off their lifeline to the world. I don't know where we get off thinking like
you could just beat someone into oblivion and they're just going to lay down and take it. Well, this is
the, this is, this is like you have, well, to you. Well, too,
to your professor's point,
you got to go have conversations
with people, man. No, but if we
demonize them all and we say they're evil
and then you turn around and become an adult and realize,
well, who really is the evil one?
Because we've been doing it. Our country has been doing.
Why would you muddy the waters?
I want to look like the hero. I want to look
like the evil. Yes.
Who on earth have we
killed into oblivion
and there hasn't been a
terror, a terroristic response towards
us because of it?
Where is that at?
Where there never was?
No, you last a while.
Depends how long you last.
We lasted a while before 9-11 happened.
There'd been a big gap between like Pan Am 103.
A while, what's a while?
Yeah, a few years, you know.
A few decades.
Is that good enough?
Two decades.
That's what people weren't when you talk, you just brought about your,
you guys talking about peace.
Is that good enough?
That's not peace, man.
But we don't.
Having, not having open lines of communication with people who are trying to conduct
business to the world and take care of their constituency.
Look, I know we try to run around a globe and police the globe and try to
act like our way of doing things is the only way and the most righteous way, but we're liars.
Yeah.
Hold on liars.
We spend 55% or something of our total budget on weapons.
Yeah, but once again, we're lying to our own population, right, which is, oh, we're keeping peace.
We're not.
We're creating instability, actually, right?
If you look at what we've done in South America and Central America, what is it done?
Oh, okay.
I have something for you on that.
Okay.
And then if we look at what we've done.
in the Middle East, what is it done? Yeah, but
while they're doing it, they get to tell everybody
that we're policing the world and being good. Number
one, we're destabilizing. Number two, we're making...
For profit. Well, that's my next step.
But number two, we're making very rich these
weapons companies, which is what we do, which is why
we spend 20 times
what our...
I think we spend more than our
top 20 would-be enemies
all spend on weapons combined
is what the United States spends.
Over the weekend, I sent Rosenberg a video
that really hurt my heart, but my mom sent me
the first one. So, you know, Cuba, Cuban doctors go to different countries to help, right? Well, because,
you know, there's their education, their medical education is beyond, right? They're very great,
and there's not enough jobs in Cuba, right? So there's Cuban doctors that have been in Guatemala,
specifically serving the indigenous people in rural areas. They're all leaving because of the U.S.
Yep. Now I sent Rosenberg a video again. Remember, in Honduras, the same thing is happening.
because nobody wants smoke with the U.S.
Meanwhile, all these vulnerable people will suffer and die.
Well, and the piece in there for the audience
that may not be picking up is the reason that Cuban doctors
are being kicked out by Guatemala and Honduras
is because of our sanctions currently against Cuba.
That's right.
And Guatemala and Honduras are not in a financial situation
to be able to tell the U.S. no.
Of course not.
Of course not.
So all these places fold up and do whatever they have to do
And the people don't matter.
They're trying to just kiss the ring.
That's right.
And people will die.
And, you know, I just keep thinking about all the things I saw, watch Coleman say in these
videos as weekend about how he's never stood for the national anthem because it's a war song.
You know, everything we do is war.
The whole thing is war.
Listen to that song.
I think about every time I hear the song.
The whole song is a war song.
Yeah.
It's all being, everything we are sold on is about war.
That's right.
Every time, every, and by the way, this isn't about the individual because, you know, again,
And the simpletons will always make it about what you're attacking the troops.
Of course not.
I don't blame the actual soldiers who do what they're told to go do or need to go do it because of their situation.
Right.
But all we do is when you go to baseball games, all they do is stand up and make you honor people who have been in combat.
Yeah.
People who have, you know, been in war.
That's all we honor.
How often do you go to a game and they make you stand up and take off your hat to honor teachers or nurses or first responders?
It is always in every, how much money does the NFL?
fell get from the army and everything and that's not again not about the soldiers it's about the
narrative that is the marketing the marketing to keep these weapons suppliers spending spending
us bullying bullying we're such a lie well and then just this weekend and remember i told you guys to
jump off chat gpt and jump off claude have you have you been seeing those headlines off claude too
well no jump to yeah if you're interested in using AI oh no you're talking about the the
anthropropic thing yeah
Do we not get to it yet on the show?
No, I had been talking about what, remember last week I told you guys what Anthropic was.
I had no idea it was going to know.
But didn't you tell the guardrails thing, like the story about what happened actually?
Well, I told about what they represent.
I did not talk about how the U.S. Department of Defense basic.
Oh, no, we did about blacklisting them.
Yes.
Because they wouldn't.
We didn't allow.
Well, it happened this weekend.
Yeah, yeah.
They went there.
But the company for OpenAI, the company that owns ChatGBT, OpenAI, was willing to jump
right in the slot. Oh, you don't say, were they? The number one Trump supporters in all of tech,
basically? Yeah, Sam Altman and them jumped right in and are going to allow killing,
autonomous weapons killing without any human oversight, meaning you can use AI weapons
that are completely artificial intelligence, no human oversight. And that was the big thing for
Anthropic. You have a video oversaw? Let's see this. And so we have said to the Department of War
that we are okay with all use cases, basically 98 or 99% of the use cases they want to do,
except for two.
One is domestic mass surveillance.
There, we're worried that things may become possible with AI that weren't possible before.
So there's this way in which domestic mass surveillance is getting ahead of the law.
The technology is advancing so fast that it's out of step with the law.
That's case number one.
case number two is fully autonomous weapons.
This is not the partially autonomous weapons that are used in Ukraine or, you know, could potentially be used in Taiwan today.
This is the idea of making weapons that fire without any human involvement.
But we have some concerns about them.
First, the AI systems of today are nowhere near reliable enough to make fully autonomous weapons.
You know, anyone who's worked with AI models understands that there's a basic unpredictability,
to them that in a purely technical way we have not solved. And there's an oversight question,
too. If you have a large army of drones or robots that can operate without any human oversight
where there aren't human soldiers to make the decisions about who to target, who to shoot at,
that presents concerns. See? And so Anthropics sit up to the government and now they've been
labeled a woke. They call them a woke. Trump specifically went online and called them a woke something
or other. They're woke because they don't believe in letting robots kill people without
human instruction. And you got to add something else in there. I hate being woke like that,
you know. Robots that aren't even don't exist yet. It's not even the capabilities aren't there.
So you want us to allow it to do something that doesn't exist. It sounds like our old contract
at the plantation station. Right. You want us to show up somewhere that's not there.
and commit to it in documentation.
It doesn't exist, man.
And we're not going to allow you to make it exist
because we don't believe that it's reliable enough
to not just be killing indiscriminately.
So it's just like to people who think
that everything's all the same.
One thing is all the same.
We have never elected a government.
Honestly, we've never elected a government
who's not interested in killing around the world
to do whatever the U.S. wants to do.
For financial gain.
For financial gain.
We've never.
Not one president who we liked more than other.
has ever been much better in that regard.
It's what the U.S. what we do.
However, there are then degrees to which you want to be indiscriminate with your killing.
They are saying we want to be able to be indiscriminate with our killing.
We don't even want guardrails.
We literally, no, you know why it is woke?
Because they really want not alive people to be able to make decisions on court.
Right, right.
That's how, woke is just human to them.
If you're human, you're woke because they want robots to be able to decide.
They want Terminator to happen.
For real.
We are living in a Black Mirror episode.
Every day.
And it keeps getting worse.
And the craziest part is we just,
no one can even question it.
And we have to be, like, scared to some degree
because otherwise we'll get shouted down
as being anti-patriotic.
Just because we were stupid enough
to believe what's on the page.
Yeah, but shouting down, it doesn't really work.
People've been trying to shout me down for years.
I'm still.
Well, you're a lucky one.
Some people get shouted down.
Well, you can't give up, man.
You have to know that being on the side of history that embraces humanity,
embraces people from all walks of life,
embraces like lifting people up in positivity is the right thing.
But I think what's important, I'm trying to learn this right now,
for our own ability to thrive and continue to be able to say the things we want to say
while doing what we want to do,
I think it's important to lead that way.
You have to.
with that because it's easy to get caught up and leading with the anger of like what's wrong with you people.
Why can't we just?
Yeah.
But if you do lead with and that's why I've seen a lot of Coleman stuff made me think about that.
If you always lead with, no, I'm always on the side of peace.
I'm always on the side.
Whether it's Palestinian kids, Israeli kids, Russian kids, Ukrainian kids.
I am on the side of kids don't die.
Bombs don't drop.
If you lead that way, it's hard.
People can still call you a B word if they want to.
Oh, they will.
Look at Miss Rachel.
Well, of course.
No, the fact that Ms. Rachel was,
they was trying to shout down Ms. Rachel was banana.
That's how you know,
that's how you know people aren't well.
That's how you know people aren't.
They've made her a full-on enemy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, that's how you know.
She doesn't want children to die.
No, you're not well.
There's something wrong with you.
Laura, you ready for the rundown?
Sure.
All right, let's spice it up.
We got the run-down turned out.
We got super chats too even when we get a check.
Do it right after the rundown.
You have low-down to?
I'm going to took it.
Oh, the Dion Coe, my bad.
I mean, that wasn't that wasn't that low.
It was low-ish.
All right.
So I don't know if you guys remember,
but Wiz,
with Kaliva,
that's what I'm talking about,
was stopped by Romanian police
in July of 2024
after smoking weed on stage
at the Beach Please Festival in Romania.
The Beach, please.
That's what it was called, yes.
Now, that's crazy, bro.
Beach, please.
In Romania, it's wild.
Hip-hop.
So he was arrested
and, you know,
was found in possession
of more than 18 grams of weed
and that he consumed on stage.
Now, a Romanian court, this happened on Thursday,
rejected an appeal by Wizz to annul his nine-month jail sentence.
I was handed down to him.
So Romania has some of the harshest drug laws in Europe.
So just possession of cannabis alone,
even if it's for personal use, it's criminalized.
And the prison sentence is usually between three to two years.
Two and three years?
Yes.
For drugs in any way?
It's three months to two years.
A three months to two years.
Yes, yes.
So it's not clear.
So they wouldn't throw it out.
They're going to do.
They wouldn't throw it out.
That's probably precedent, right?
So some of that is, hey, we need to let it be known.
And when people visit here, we're serious about our laws.
So we're not throwing this out.
That doesn't mean he'll go to jail.
That doesn't mean he'll go to jail.
But it's just like, hey, he's probably got to come here and go to court?
That's right.
And if I'm whiz, if, or maybe they'll give him a virtual.
I don't know.
Maybe he could send a lawyer.
I don't know.
But if I'm whiz and there's not documentation that you,
y'all told me the laws when you hired me to come to Romania?
Is that really on me to know the laws when I was hired to go?
I mean, technically, yes.
But I might find a loophole to sue the organizers.
You got to hope that one of his people didn't get documents that said that.
Right.
Because they could have.
Yeah.
Yo, remember last week when I said, I wished I loved anything as much as racist,
love being racist?
Yeah.
I think the only cop is how much weedheads love weed.
Like real weedheads like this.
Yeah.
Like you, no, come on.
no one said anything
why can't people resist it
it's like a day
they get the bag and go home
and then I got to know
did he smoke on stage
on stage
yes in front of everyone
see that's that's
now you're stunning on the government
yes
that's the real
congratulations
you play
because if he was just like
maybe backstage
by his love
because I guarantee you
they got weed in Romania
right of course
low key
so that's what makes it crazy
so you tried to stunt on them
and now you're going to be like, oh, my bad, my bad, I don't want to go.
And they're going to try to stunt back and say, no, we got to show people we're serious.
Yeah, they're going to make an example out of you.
Man, I don't want, yo, but maybe this is why maybe now Amber's friendship with the.
The Magas.
With Maga can help.
Maybe.
Maybe we don't know who, do you know anything about the Romanian leadership?
I don't.
I know they went and took out Andrew Tate.
Remember, that's the same people who went and arrested Andrew Tate for his trafficking.
Oh, and Trump got him out.
I don't know if Trump got Andrew Tate out.
But I remember that they went, you know.
But they lobbied for it.
They did, I think the Magas were lobbying to get Andrew Tate.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I hope we didn't waste one on Andrew Tate because that would be a shame and not get Wiz back
because we got Andrew Tate back.
And I'm sure Wizz has his connections.
I got to tell you, this is one of the ultimate nightmares for me.
We're going overseas and getting in trouble.
Yep.
And the idea of now you're sitting here and you don't know what's going to happen and you
might have to go back and you're like, there's a chance I'm going to spend
two months to three months to two years.
in a Romanian.
Y'all remember what happened
to Rocky?
Yes!
Yo, the fact, I saw I'm talking to you about it.
The way he was able to look back
and laugh at it, I was like,
I...
How?
Because...
I guess he's been through a lot of things
because I would not be able to laugh at that.
Yeah, that's crazy.
In other news,
something positive happened
over the weekend.
So the intersection
of Prince Shaw Boulevard
and Slosson was dedicated
to Nipsey Hustle.
That's true.
That's fine.
All happened on Saturday.
Now, here's a video of Lauren
London and a short,
beautiful speech that went viral yesterday.
Lord, okay, I'm gonna be really, really quick.
It's a short story when me and it first started dating,
we would drive by over here and he would be like,
you know, Boogie, one day they're gonna name this whole section after me.
And here we are today.
So thank you all for showing up.
Thank you to our family for being strong and beautiful and inspiring me.
So God bless you all and peace and love.
Love you, God.
I say all that to say how important this parking lot is and how important this corner is from little kids to ownership and even what happened to my brother in this parking lot.
I think that his spirit and his soul is here in this section.
Yeah.
And it's an honor for the city and the people to rename this location.
Nipsey Hustle Square.
It means a lot to us.
I know it means a lot to bro.
And the last thing I'm going to say, man,
bro wanted to inspire people.
Oh.
Beautiful.
Beautiful, right?
Because, you know, the part that's unsaid is, of course,
that he said to Lauren London,
one day they're going to name this after me
and he didn't mean two years later or whatever it was.
Right, right, right, right.
It was supposed to be 50 years from now.
Right.
And not in this way.
And not in this way.
But it is beautiful.
Something that pissed me off, though, this morning when I was coming in.
I saw a report.
They're saying a shootout happened at this event.
No, guys.
So there was a shooting that happened down the street.
But LAPD said it had no connection to this ceremony into, you know what I mean?
To people are already trying to tie it.
That happens all the time.
It happens out here when we're doing, you know, the West Indian Day parade.
Right, right, right.
Going down Eastern Parkway or whatever.
And it was like, oh, it's a shooting.
Well, it's Brooklyn.
They're all shooting.
Right.
Yes.
You know what I mean?
Like these things happen.
So, yeah, near, near, yeah.
But that was beautiful, right?
Yeah, that was really nice to see.
I just, he was such a great dude, man.
We had phenomenal conversations with Nixie.
Yeah, man.
I remember the last time I saw him at All Star right before at all.
I mean, pretty, I guess weeks before he passed.
And he just, because he was just getting it.
He was just getting there.
Like, history won't, history ends up confusing timelines.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I feel like that's happened with Dilla and like a lot of different people.
even Pock, people don't understand
like what they were when they were alive
exactly because they can become so.
In some cases, it's different.
They're fully realized.
I don't think Mac Miller, for example,
was pretty much the guy he was, whatever.
But in the case of Nip, for example,
he'd been growing, growing, growing.
Victory lap was the beginning.
He called it Victory Lap because to him it was that.
But really, that was the beginning
of him becoming a huge start.
Yeah.
Like it was just starting.
It's crazy.
Yeah, man.
But yeah, that's the rundown.
All right.
Let's shout out some of these people
real quick.
Laura got the run down.
I think people are against this.
People are not.
People are not for it.
Yo, what's King Lou do during the show?
He texts?
He's online.
No, he's managing the chat.
No, he's in the chat.
Okay, so he's seeing what people are talking about.
You want him to find out?
Well, yeah.
Normally he's sitting right here where I could see him.
He's not here today.
He's sitting there.
He's sitting on the other side.
So I can't ask him what they're saying.
What are they talking about?
What are they responding to?
What are you asking?
Right now?
Well, he responded.
to King Lou.
All right.
Well, we're in the meantime.
Well, Louis lets you know.
TR, the DR.
Gave us a big old 50 spot.
All right.
Oh, wow.
Nice.
Thank you.
Good morning, everyone.
Everyone needs to delete chat, GPT, and download Claude A.I.
Shouts to you, Ebro, for putting us on.
For the medical professionals, use open evidence AI.
Okay.
I don't know what that is.
Cool.
Scooby to Don says...
A lot of Don's out here.
With a week of hell, I'm thankful for you guys and the EL Army.
Okay. Thank you, man.
Appreciate it.
J.W. Always in here.
What up, J.W., J. Dubbs, who I feel like is J.W., but maybe not.
Love this story, Rosenberg.
Shout out to peace, and now to the late but always great.
Mr. Coleman.
Yes, Coleman McCarthy, great guy.
Yasser Kasakas said, this is for taking time to shine a light on a positive person in his life.
Thanks, Pete.
Oh, that's cool.
LBN Jackson says I'm on punishment today for talking about 47.
What does that mean?
You have unpunishment from who?
I don't know.
Nell says,
I've been rocking with you all for years.
I support you on Patreon and will follow you off a cliff.
Yo, my man came through with a 50 spot.
And he's on the Patreon.
Hopefully we will not take you off a cliff.
Yeah, no.
That is not a part of the plan.
Yeah.
Let's hope it doesn't go there.
Oh, but thank you guys.
Make sure you hit that like button, please.
That's how our videos survive.
You know any of those likes, those comments.
The shares.
Also tell a friend, like a lot of people still don't know.
Yo, are you guys aware?
You know that meme of the kid standing in the fast food restaurant,
side-eyeing with the soda in his hand?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Run this Popeye's kid story.
Was this kid always from New Jersey, bro?
I didn't know that.
Now he's like state-chip.
Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me.
Now's hands out there from Zone 6.
You guys were one of state championship.
How you feel?
It was great.
Feels great.
Yes, sir.
What are you about to go do right now?
Ooh.
That's him.
I'm not going to get me some chicken.
Did he just say he about to go get some chicken?
No, you're still waiting on that chicken?
Yo.
Oh, shit.
So anyway, I think he's from East Orange, right?
East Orange, New Jersey.
I came across my timeline.
I was like, yo, look, look.
Memes to Dreams, Pop-I's.
Memes to Dreams.
This is so cool.
He said, let's get the.
Popeye said, let's get this breading.
So I wonder how good he is.
I wonder if he's like, good.
Yeah, I don't know.
Like go get an NIL deal with Popeye's good.
Facts.
That's fine.
If he could be a college player.
No, that's a great story.
That's cool.
Sorry, what are we going to say?
Just something really quickly.
Yesterday, I was at a restaurant in the Lower East Side,
and this really nice young man was kind of like standing at the bar.
Finally, when I walked by to take him to a bathroom, he said, hi, Laura.
And I was like, you know, sometimes you forget.
I'm like, do I know you?
super sweet. He says, hi, I forgot his name. And I really wish I would remember this name. He's like,
I'm Israeli. I just wanted to let you know how seen you guys make me feel. And he watches our show
religiously. And he says that the things you guys cover, he's like, they're so close to my heart.
And then, you know, he started telling me about his family members in Israel that he's lost,
but he really appreciated our conversations. And it was such a nice, it was such a nice conversation.
So I was like, I will tell the guys.
That is really dope.
It doesn't match for the people who tell me that I hate Israel and myself hating you.
It's not about you.
That's why it's not.
But that's why she's telling you.
Yeah.
No, he does not think about that and think about him.
Right.
She's trying to help you.
Yes.
No, I just wish that guy.
I wish people were more.
No, well, people just pay to tell.
No, it's not even, all they'd have to do is actually listen.
That's just, he's someone who actually listens.
No wait.
You know what I'm saying?
He's a good person who listens to the show.
It's true.
I wish people would actually listen.
It looks like there was more you wanted to say, but then you said, you'll wait.
I this is just me being petty
but there is this guy who listens to our show
who has a blog called
the stop right and I think I mentioned
him earlier his name was Danny
at first I was like I don't even acknowledge him
he's a hater because he did this whole like interview
with Adam 22 or whatever how much he hates
Ebro and he hates us he hates you
right who Adam 22 does no the guy
oh the guy does what was Adam 22
what did Adam 22 do with it agreeing
he was there you know they're all agreeing
I met Adam 22 I have back in the day
fast forward right
he's been in our chats.
He gave us like $40 in like our super chat.
He was like, yo, I can't believe that this show is really good.
And now I listen to it every day.
Louis said this screenshot to me.
And I just, it made me laugh.
So what was he listening to before?
That's what I'm saying.
People don't listen.
They just regurgitate all the hate that comes to you guys.
Well, no, but what's important in this is this is why we had started down the path of building this space.
Yeah.
Because when we were at the last gig,
80 to 90% of the conversations we had
couldn't hit the digital format.
Nope.
And it wasn't because it was potentially
like trying to like silence our voice.
It was because they didn't invest in the staff enough
so that we could get edits of all of the different content
that we covered.
And maybe they didn't want to populate their algorithm.
I don't know what they're doing.
Because they could have done what we're doing.
They could have done this, but they just weren't doing it.
Which is then I was like, well, look, we're going to do it ourselves.
Wait,
Rassani, you feel like that shade towards you?
Oh,
it's smaller now,
but it's only focused on this.
Then you guys had to do the whole station.
Right.
Right.
Well, yeah,
when King Lou,
they let you go,
then yeah,
we weren't getting that content.
But anyway,
that's why we were on this path.
That's why this happened so fast.
Yeah.
Right.
This happened so fast
because we were already on this path.
But they didn't want to give,
we wanted to do the show from here
and on hot at the same time.
They didn't want that.
But whatever.
Now we're here.
But my point is,
is I wonder what people
who hated the show before were actually
seen or not seeing or
I don't know what they were why. No, they've only
seen, what I'm gathering is
based on the hate that I get, they've seen
a few stories, whatever their
artists is, whenever we interacted
in a negative way with their artist
or whatever it was or
or complimented an artist
they don't like. Those are the only things
that made it to them. They're not hearing the conversation
every day. They didn't download the podcast.
Hit him with a button.
Congratulations.
And on that note,
that's the show.
Oh man.
The guru's got to wait until tomorrow.
Yes.
People get mad that we miss the guru.
Well, guess what?
We need more emails anyway, so send your emails
to the original gurus
at gmail.
Grips looking at Rosenberg, like,
what the F of you talking about?
We got mad email.
Do we?
We'll always welcome more.
Yes, we need more.
Trust me, we need it.
Somebody's lying.
Somebody's lying.
Listen, today,
there's bombs being dropped
around the world.
So there was a pressing
issue. We felt we needed to kind of cover, which was Iran, and where this is going to go.
Shout to Michael B. Jordan and Coogler. They had a busy weekend with the NAACP Award,
image awards. And if you had the SAG After Awards where Michael B. Jordan won Best Actor.
Yeah. How does that line up for Oscar, generally speaking? Is that a...
Sag After? Yeah. I mean, no. Golden Gloves. They're all, you know. It could add up to an
Oscar. I don't know if it works that way. It can be an indicator, but you just never know.
Right? You don't know. And thank you guys.
for the space to talk about Coleman today. I appreciate it.
Nice love. Great guy.
And we didn't get to the Osborne's face.
No, we'll do that tomorrow.
Yo, Dre says,
Ebro since Portland,
the reason I got into broadcasting,
Laura never changed.
Pete, I thought you were in the box.
The box.
Pete, I thought you were in the box.
Oh, he means an elimination chamber.
Wait, did you have to broadcast outside of Chicago?
We did for the first half.
and then they brought us inside for the second half.
And the inside was so dope.
It was perfect.
But it was it cold in Chicago?
Brough.
Brough.
No, bruh.
I couldn't believe.
I knew it would be cold, but I didn't know that that lake hit is different.
It cuts.
I was barely out there and it was bad.
It was bad.
But shout to Chicago.
I had a great time.
See y'all tomorrow.
T.I. is supposed to be on tomorrow.
See how this works out.
Oh, let's see.
Don't call in a podcast.
Thank you.
