They made a whole sign for it Wow So you got to put it up on camera Turn around So the cameras can see Which camera is best? That's the wide. Yeah.

Wow, look at that. We got hold on me to get straight. We got plans. That is from a Stephanie Corral, I think, is how you said. Let me see. Carrao. Stephanie Carrao. Yeah.

She wrote us a letter. She said, to Ebro, Laura, and Rosenberg, or made us a card. Excuse me. And the car says, we got plans. It says, to Ebro, Laura, Rosenberg, and Griff. I've been a listener since before any of you had kids. And over the years, It's been amazing watching you all grow your families.

For so many years, every morning and traffic was spent with you all from taking my son to daycare through high school. Whoa. You were all a part of our daily lives. The conversation segments and laughs got us through those long drives. Ooh, bars. When the show ended, we all felt lost. You took a chance on your listeners and started something new, not because you had to, but because you wanted to. That shows loyalty.

I made this small piece as a small thank you for the impact you've made on our live. Wow. Stephanie Carrault. Stephanie. The old mom in the car. Oh, we love you. Stephanie, your handwriting's not bad. She said, sorry for the handwriting.

I only learned script in school. Not Stephanie. Your handwriting is too. And then I'm assuming Sunny Acres, she put a card in here. Maybe that's her business? It's her business. Sunny S.O. That's nice handwriting.

Acres. Yeah. That's not. That's really nice. That's a custom card, Rosemary. I see. I know that we got plans cards at Hallmark. So there's been this whole combo on the show about decorating the room.

Should we put this on our little shelves back there? This is about as elaborate as what you guys were going to put up there yesterday. Or should it be, should it just be the sign up? We should put her sign up. At least let it live for a little bit. I mean, it deserves some love. By the way, maybe things can rotate on the shelves that come from Fox. Did you come up with that yourself?

Just right now. Nice. but that is very nice man That's really cool Really thoughtful And shout to all the listeners You stop us in the street I don't know about you guys

Yeah I've been getting stopped a lot Really? People outside? A lot bro Wow This show is moving around People are talking to the street And we still ain't even

Unleashed all of our plans No Not all the plans have been unleashed It's like a reintroduction to a lot of people Because people used to get pieces of our show And I think now they get a whole chunk Do you feel like people are seeing more of us? Yes

100%. You do? 100%. Yes. I can't say that I know that yet. Yeah. You're not feeling that. I'm not feeling it. I'm just like, I got some love in the street yesterday,

but they didn't say anything specific. Right. You know what I've gotten some real specific. There was a guy I was sitting outside of the Apple, one of the Apple offices yesterday, having a cold brew. Good for you. Okay.

Before the 3 o'clock Ebro show on Apple Music. Matter of fact, E. E.L. Army needs y'all to lock in 3 o'clock live on the Ebro show. Listen to some tunes and stuff. But anyway, a man walks up. His name is also Peter. Okay. If you say his name is also Ebro, I was almost impressed. No. Peter. Okay. And he says, his wife calls him the Black Rosenberg. The Black Rosenberg and his name's Peter. And he was a Jewish studies minor, I think he said. It's giving Cory Booker. But he said he listened to us in New York. Him and his wife are huge fans. Wow. They moved down south and moved

back to New York and it's been along for the ride the whole way and they love the show. Wow. Why? Why? Now, did you get the explanation on why the Black Rosenberg? I assumed it was because of his interest in Jewish studies and Jewish history. Oh, is that it? But I'm not that interested in Jewish studies.

Well, I think it was just a Jew, Peter, Jewish studies, Jewish. Peter's on a Jewish name. Peter's a Christian. No, no, Jewish Peterson. Jewish studies. His name's Peter. Your name's Peter. And mostly the point is, they listen to the show. That's it. That's the point. she just wanted to call him the black rosemary i i love that maybe they have other interests there

or he has other interests that align with yours or maybe or maybe he lays it that lays it down and smacketh yaketh and she's like damn you're like the black rosea boy oh my god but the question i don't know that's what her imagination says does she know that you lay it down and smack that's what i'm saying that like i connote that she assumes that you get you put it down i can note that to her that's right so with her man she's like damn you must be like that's the or that's the or that's the oar you you're giving on the program. Can I dream up an aura? Come on, man.

I wasn't debating it or debating it. No, you were allowing it to live. I was going to rock out with your thing out. No, that's really, that's really cool, man. Shout out to them. And I didn't delve deeper into the combo because I was FaceTime with jazz. Having a little before my next show, 10-minute combo.

A little check-in. Well, yeah, yesterday was like, you know, getting ESA from school to Alvin Ali and all the different things. we got to do during the week to make things happen. So it was just busy. I was just checking it. Making sure things were flowing.

Well, listen, I'm not doubting that the movement is out there. I definitely feel good outside. I just haven't had a lot of convoes. But I haven't been to a lot of stuff recently either. You know what I mean? I haven't been outside that much. I think, and yesterday it was interesting because it was a lot of people outside.

The weather was beautiful. I mean, did you guys get a taste of the sunshine? Did you guys? Did I? It was so nice. Yesterday I walked everywhere. It was so nice. Good for you.

I love that for you. Speaking of New York City, we got somebody new producing the show today. His name's Joe. If anything goes wrong, blame Joe. Yes. But ultimately blame, still blame Rassan because he decided he wanted to have another kid.

And I think they're at the hospital right now. Uh-huh. Where's in the chat? He's in the chat. Yo, Rassan. Hey, my man. He's waiting. No.

Did we tell the audience, yo, did we tell the audience that I forced Joe to come in against Rassan's wish? We told them that Rassan was like, no, I'm going to be there. Don't worry. I was like, bro, your wife is going to have a, she's going to need to go to the hospital. He was like, nah, nah, I'm going to make it. I had to threaten him, Hebrose. I was like, you better be there for her. What is wrong? You know what I

think's happening? I think Bascom knows that he's pissed off Ebro so many times with being late and things of that nature that he feels that if he skips his wife's birth to show his loyalty, that'll get Ebro off his back. You know what you need to do, Rassan? Not do wide shots that show a cardboard box with Rosenberg's drink on. How about? How about you? How about. about that. And start to show not at 803, but these are the things. That's way more important. Ebro doesn't want you to skip your child's birth. He just wants the show to start at 8 o'clock. And you're already here at like 7 o'clock. Yeah, so why can't we be on time? It's not so hard. Baskin doesn't run in late and put, no, he's here. But when it gets

to me like close to the time, we're looking at him. He's still walking around. We're like, wait. Talking to Louis and Griff. Getting it close again. Chit chat, yo, that's the chit chat crew over there. Nah, the chit chat's crazy in the morning. I walk in sometimes, Griff's talking to Laura. I'm like, yo, we got five minutes to go, and he's telling stories about his sister and his mom and the kids, and Laura's like, really?

I can't believe he's running this back a fourth time, though. It's so crazy. What, we're signed with the kid? Man, four times. They didn't plan on it. Listen, listen. No, no, they didn't because they gave away everything. So you want to talk about lay them down, smack it.

Yeah, I guess, you know, listen, hey, I got one thing to say. God bless. Yes, we're wishing you so much love. No, we're sending you so much love. I mean, that's crazy. In the hospital. After three kids to just stumble into another one means the work is getting done. Let's talk about it.

Because kids don't just happen willy-nilly out of nowhere. It's not because you had sex once that a child was created. I mean, for some. For some. But timing generally, you learn things got to line up. You know what I mean? Some people are fertile. I guess so.

Some or another for sure. It does just pop off. You, I had a conversation early this morning because I was up. Issa, Issa cooking some breakfast or doing something for parents at the school. She had to be at school at 6 a.m. Oh, my God. Okay. And they're doing like a pancake parent breakfast or something.

So she's one of the order. Okay, okay. You know, my, my amazing daughter always volunteering for something at school, outside of her other activities that she's already got, outside of the other activities that the school already plans to just, you know, throw your schedule into a sales thing. Plus star of the show last Friday. Oh, Star, people.

People were loving. Oh, what? She was ringing off. Oh, she was hot out here. Go ahead, Lisa. Even our social was on fire. People loved the easy of content. Yeah.

Well, anyway, I got a call from one of our mutual friends. And for some reason, he won... One of the hour? All of us, yes. No names for now. But he wanted to tell me how fertile he was. As he gets prepared to get married and, you know, they're planning and have kids. I was like, yo, my God.

All right. I know I'm of a certain age now where you just like start talking about fertility. But I don't really. need to know what's going on with your junk, my dude, at 6 in the morning, 6. Wait, wait, wait. Do we know this person's getting married? I think so. All of us do? I think you do. Okay, all right. You know who it is? I think I know who it is.

But we don't need to say names. And the audience, I ain't put nobody in business. You can't know, can't know. Okay. Well, you could do it after the show. No, but I'm curious down. Now, because it'll just give me intel on the conversation, but they just call it, yo, my joints ringing off out here? No, no, it was, it was a little bit, it was a little bit more of an update of life than that? And then it left, but at 6 in the morning? Yeah, because

this person doesn't go to sleep and I'm always like yo go to sleep got it oh that's possible I see what you're saying yeah well listen I say this I hope that's true because I've been on the other side of uh I thought I was fertile my whole life in fact I had I wouldn't say empirical evidence but I really really had every reason to believe that I was and then when it came to baby time guess what I learned not so much my guy took a little bit of work from the old medical team and I realized realized the other day and this is one of the things I'm going to get into in the podcast that I'm starting that I'm never going to start. We have that trailer ready for the new podcast?

I don't know if you have the trailer still on deck. Because we've been trying to play this trailer for three weeks and now we've transitioned to the actual topic. So, well, this is one of the things that it's not like listed as one of the topics, but like one of the topics I do want to get into at some point is male infertility because it's so not talked about. Well, and it needs to be talked about because dudes is out here unhealthy and not checking on their junk and blaming women.

Always, that's the main thing because they're like, you go get check, you go to I had to tell a friend of mine, I was like, has he gotten checked? He's smoking and drinking and eating crazy. I was like, what makes you think you could be the one? Right. But he also could be the one. So that goes back literally to like forever, right, to the 40s, 30s, whatever it is. They've always assumed it's the woman.

A man can't, man can't have a problem. But male infertility has been steadily on the rise for 20 years. And they don't, they can't, they don't know, don't show. and don't care about why infertility is on the rise. They really don't. It's probably a combo of a lot of factors. Sedentary lifestyle, weed, use cell phone in your pocket, laptop, porn. Who knows?

There's going to be a million things. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But one of the things I want to talk about on this podcast is that issue because I realize so many men go through it and don't talk about it. And not only that, if you haven't been through the experience, you don't know some of the things to ask and do. I got, I at one point thought I was not having kids. It was not going to happen.

Then got to a point where like, it was like, okay, maybe there's a possibility, but, you know, we don't know how much like motile sperm is there. And then at like my fourth different person over the years, this is now new wife, new life, new life back again, trying to get in the saddle again. Right. The doctor was like, have you ever done an extended search? I was like, what's an extended search? Extendo. And he was like, what's an extendo clip? And he was like, well, you know, when you go to the, to get checked out and they tell you have, they'll say you have zero percent motile sperm or, or basically good sperm.

Motile means ability to move. They'll say you have zero percent. He goes, that just means in the droplet that they looked at, that it has zero. Then they deduce because there's zero there, you have zero. I was like Huh? That's the whole system Bro

He's like Yeah but if you do an extended search They will look through the entire sample I was like He was like but it's a bit pricey I was like oh That's why Okay here we go

Insurance don't cover How much? Of course not No no I go how much He was like You know like 800,000 bucks I was like

I think I'm willing to spend that On this issue You're like I thought you were gonna hit me With $25,000 Correct That's what I should must be some insane number. No. And so they did it and guess what? The first time out the gate they

come back. They're like, yeah, we got a bunch we can use. You're good. And for years you had worried about this. Not only years and I never wanted to talk about it. It's the only thing I was truly private about because I could not handle until I had a child. The idea of the internet trolls being like this beta cuck is infertile. I couldn't handle it. And then I was like, but once I attack on your whole manhood. Bro, people take fertility as as if it's not first of all, of course it can be that like you have an

unhealthy lifestyle. That's right. But in the case of many people, it's just luck of the freaking draw. Yeah. It's just, the sperm's ain't sperm. That's right. You know what I mean? Joe, do you find that trailer? Oh, he's got it. Check the trailer. Rosenberg's Do you have a date for this launch?

No, but after we show this and I see the excitement from the EL Army, I'll give one. Okay. But do you have a place for them? Do you want them to go in? Oh yes, I do. I do. In fact, they will,

it's on the YouTube channel of the name of the show. After that, they can go subscribe right now. Okay. You need volume two, Eber. Addiction starts early. I mean, really early. As a baby,

it can be food that makes you feel better. Then you grow up and maybe it's a drink, a smoke, a bait. And as life gets harder, the drugs. get hugged. But for me and more and more people every day, the real addiction is validation, swiping endlessly on dating apps, texting with strangers, or just opening Instagram for the

10th time in an hour, chasing that hit, that like, no one is immune, and the internet, it wants us addicted. So let's talk about it. Because like every addiction, validation will not make your life unmanageable. Trust me, I learned the hard way. Validate Me, a podcast about validation, addiction, and filling the void. Subscribe now, on YouTube or wherever you find podcasts.

Validate me. All right. I love the animation. Validate Me show. Yeah, and there's a validate me YouTube channel as well that you could go subscribe to right now. Now, Laura, missed the first 15 seconds because her headphones weren't plugged in. No, I was about it.

Oh, God. How did I, what do you mean? That means we were sitting here the whole time having a combo. Your headphones were never on. You moved to your foot, and that's when I was like, wait, how come I don't hear anything? Let me tell you something about Laura. We don't trust it. Well, you know, we don't believe that.

No. Nobody in here believes that, gee, actually just unplugged those headphones. How do you think I was listening to you before? You were just sitting next to me. No, no, no, no. Validate me show on YouTube, though, if you want to hit the sub. So if you want to subscribe to the podcast, that's going to be what it kind of focuses on is, you know, I call it validation today. because I believe the phrase sex addiction is inaccurate and really does nobody any favors brand wise Like I don't think anybody wants what the whole walking around being like yeah, I'm a sex addict is I don't think goes great

But on on it's not realistic so today we drop a new Patreon. Yeah sure we do and we talk about On the Patreon I believe this was on the Patreon this week Love from our parents and you were talking about my Mindy and hugging and this sort of thing. And you mentioned that maybe that's where your desire to get validated comes from. Oh, yes, I did. I did. I forgot. I was like, where are you going? Yeah, yeah, I did. And so while yes, we point to these other things, there might be an origin story for a lot of people

that is before social media, before the self- Oh, oh yeah, this is that's kind of hardwired into who you are as a person. Maybe even why you want to be on a microphone. Maybe even why you want to perform for a living? Oh, 100%. It's all built in there. The behavior is the symptom of the problem, right? What is the problem? Like sex addict, that's why I hate the phrase sex addict, because sex addict, people

drop like, yo, my man, I'm a sex addict too. You know what I'm saying? I've got to slay everything. And it's like, no, my guy, that's not. Every guy we know generally, not every guy. Most guys want to pursue women. I understand that. But this is about something else.

This is about craving another person to make you feel whole. And then when it's like very often, but when it's your partner, that partner is no longer enough. You need to seek other people to make you feel good and regularly all the time, all the time. And that's again why the phrase sex addiction to me doesn't work because it's not about having sex. Like for me, the issue is not, I need to have sex with a million people. It was, I need to feel good from a million people. I need to know I could have sex with a million people if I wanted to because I want to feel dope. I want to feel hot.

I want to feel fly. I want to feel whatever that feeling is. Even though I don't actually want to do the work because I'm lazy, I'd rather just go to sleep. Yeah. Well, no, it wasn't the laziness. It wasn't the laziness for me. It was the plausible deniability that if I go do that, that's too much. But I could draw a line.

Which, by the way, is crazy addict talk, right? Right. That's the same as gang. Now we're into gambling addiction. I'm never going to do blank. Or even alcohol. No, even alcohol, where people are like, I can stop whenever. I don't drink on weekdays, though.

I've heard alcoholics say, oh, I stop drinking. I don't have a beer every now and then, but that's nothing. That doesn't count. What? Well, it's, I mean, alcohol is so complicated, though, too, right? No, there's alcohol and beer. Yes, but you can be like a later in. I do believe that they're changing, some people are changing the idea of what alcohol recovery looks like,

and that there could be people that depending on your kind of addiction, maybe there's a stage in your life where you could have some level of relationship with alcohol. Because not everyone's version of whatever your addiction is, Not every version is the same. I had a dear friend who is no longer with us, who I met in program based on all these problems, sex addiction, validation addiction. Now, he was a real sex addict, for real.

I was, in meetings, I was a bore. I was like... Compared to everybody. They were like, no, no, not for the first few months, I was fun because I was weeping through the whole meeting. So I think people were like, oh, here comes crying guy. Let's get the stories cracking. Crying guy.

But then once I was like, okay, I'm pretty boring. My man, yeah, I won't say his name because that's totally against what the idea of it is. But my man who's no longer with us, yo man, my man's stories were wild. And as he got into recovery, he still would occasionally have wired stories, wild stories, but they were inside what he believed were a healthy, sober lifestyle for him. You know what I mean? Like not, it's not your plan and program isn't necessarily always going to be, I just don't do anything like this.

Yeah. It's about your life becoming unmanageable. You know what I mean? So you may not be having sex with anyone. And you may not even be sexting with anyone. You may not be talking to people. Your validation addiction could be scrolling. Yeah.

It could just come from like... Comment section. It could be comment section. It could be, you know, searching Google News if you're a public person. He's like, I got to see if anyone's talking about it. There's so many different things it can be. Validate me. New podcast.

People dismiss sex addiction. That's why... That ain't real. Because the name is trash. I'm telling you. They came up. with a name that makes people, A, judge you, and B, like, A, make you think you're a pervert. You sound like a creep. And B, it's not even accurate.

Bro, and it can happen to anybody. So now, is it true, you could be a sex addict. Yeah. You're only having sex with your partner. But the way your partner has to be there for you and please you, and you are not interested in what they're feeling like, you're just like, I need sex. For sure. So I've heard that's a thing too

And people are like, that's not a thing. You're in a relationship. And I'm like, well, but if your partner's not Right. No. Enjoying this. Or doesn't want to do certain things. Or like, you don't want to do certain things. And you're like dangling the relationship over it

or acting as if you're going to leave because they won't or whatever. For sure. It's not just cheating. Right. Right. And I'm just adding that into this whole kind of, you know, people would be not having sex at all and be a sex addict. There's so many different levels to what it can mean. That's why I think the name is.

not quality. Let me tell you. So one of my best girlfriends moved to L.A. And, you know, rent's expensive and she's an up-and-coming actress. You know, so she has to get a roommate. Yo, you guys, he told me that

her new roommate was addicted to Grindr. Grindr? Yes. Grindr. Like people just popping up and having sex. And what's the other one? Tinder? Yes, and Tinder. Both.

She said her new room, every night a new person in the house. every night. She was like, you gotta go because I can give up all these strangers in my house. You could say you're addicted to grinder and whatever. No, you're a sex addict. And you're a whore.

Yo, that's crazy. She was like every night a different person. Sometimes too. Guys, I got news for you. But slutting, yo, people have their slutty phase, man. Men and women, that's not just... That's not normal. What, to have a slutty phase?

No, every day. No, no, no. Every night. I'm not saying it's normal. That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that people have phases. But I'll just say this. I am lucky that I,

was not ever single in the era of apps. Because you went off deep in. Bro, I was meeting people online when that wasn't a thing. Like when I was 18. ASL? That was ASL. Oh, wow. So like, you name it.

I found it. Bro, come on. It was built in my DNA so early. If I'd gotten to the point and not only that, my real life game was mediocre. My chat game, It's an acquired skill. It's a manipulative acquired skill where you can learn how to talk to people in a way that kind of makes them come back for more, right?

If I've been on the apps in the era, multiple times. There are people just walking in from one date to another. Yeah. They got a six, they got an eight, they got a ten. This is a six to eight to ten. What do you mean? Three different dates. Oh, you mean time.

Yes. They got a six p coffee, eight p dinner, ten p. drinks all lined up every night. But if they're not hitting it, that's just dating, right? Is it? Or do they have a problem? They can't stop doing it. It's every day, and they're spending money, and they're tired at work the next day, and their life has become unmanager. Every day, I forgot the everyday part.

Yeah, y'all make it me, you sound bored. No, it never be you. Y'all make me, I was just your regular run of the mill. Can I hit that guy? Wait, wait, wait, Ebrose. Because you're out in these streets. Did you ever go on the AOL chat rooms? No, I never did that. Ebro did Ebro do that? I just wondering if he hit. I wasn't even on my space like that. Come on, bro. And then I was mad that everybody thought Facebook was different than MySpace.

That was like a whole year for me. Everybody was like, you got to get on Facebook. I was like, it's the same as MySpace. No, it's different. It's only for students and you have a different email. I was like, same thing. Yo, I love that. Ebro's always been old.

Even though his take is correct, it's still such an old man take. Isn't that the same thing? It's the same thing. But you were right. But this is why I want to. But I was also, mind you, I was in clubs every night. No. So no, but I'm not.

I'm saying, but sex addiction similar, right? Yeah, but you were a normal. You were actually a healthy version. No, I don't know. You had ability to do well, and you were outside and single. That's fine. I think that's normal. Yes, mostly, but I was outside outside.

But any guy, bro, you were a person of note from very young. You're outside in the club, cool guy, hosting. Like, that's a lot of good stuff going on. And the thing that actually saved me, I think, from being too crazy was the fear of getting robbed. you had fear of everything fear of AIDS fear of getting robbed well people was getting AIDS and getting robbed I didn't want to be

no judgment I think these are great fears to have but that'll keep you here's the thing though when you're an addict those fears don't matter you think you could beat it it's not gonna happen or you're willing to take the risk and then the next day you're going I'm never doing that again here's the I will say this and not that this

was not meant to be a preview of validate me because we'll get into it one day when that when I start this soon but if you get to the point with anything where you go, no, I'm not going to do it like this anymore. I can't. It's hovering over my head. I feel guilty. I'm never doing this again. I'm not doing again. And then within a couple of days, you find yourself doing it again, that's a problem. That's a problem. You know what I'm saying? I don't think what you were doing. You were like, oh, man, I don't want to hook up with another hot chick at the club again. I feel terrible about that.

That wasn't what was happening. You were like, that was pretty good. I wonder if it happened again. Maybe, maybe not. Maybe I'll see. Maybe I meet somebody. We don't know. But this is all going to get so much worse because now we're of the age. These kids are going up with that. I'm hearing it's the other way. I'm saying studies are the other way. They said kids aren't having sex.

Kids are having less sex and using less social media. And not drinking. And well, but that's so that's the kids not drinking thing. They're saying, but they are doing pills and they are doing these other things. However, there is a trend of these kind of like, what do they call them, like health parties where people, are gathering listening to music it's early in the day and they're like yoga parties or like you know I don't know listening to music and like you know what's the other thing that people do um meditate meditate nah swear I was joking

Zoran, is that you? Do you have a number for him? 10. Oh, 10. There you go. ...day 69 of the Moundani administration. Here's what changed in the last 24 hours. False Spring arrived.

The Mombani administration got one step closer to seizing property from criminal landlords. The Safer Homes Act, a bill from council member Sanchez, had a hearing at the city council. He would let the city take entire buildings from landlords with piled up violations and unpaid taxes. Love that. This is a pathway towards stabilization and responsible ownership, including community and resident ownership. And the city council just decriminalized street bending in New York City, which means street vendors will no longer face arrest, jail time, or criminal prosecution or conviction simply for selling food to support their families. This is a big move for protecting even though New Yorkers, removing a tool to ICE use to get undocumented street vendors. The mayor just expanded free childcare again.

We're adding more than 1,000 seats to 3K performance. seats to 3K programs in 56 different zip codes across the five boroughs. That's on top of the 2,000 new spots announced last week. And council member nurses introducing a bill to nearly double the city's minimum wage from $17 to $30 an hour. And the Department of Transport announced the full redesign of 14th Street with safer crossings, bike infrastructure, and new plazas, stretching the entire width of Manhattan. Progressive change in the city isn't just coming from one office. Not bad for 24 hours.

Oh yeah, did you guys see the dolphin? Yeah. I saw the dolphins. The dolphin was cute on a springish day. Yeah. The dolphins were very excited about the dolphins. Every year. Every year I feel like there's a whale.

Wasn't there a dolphin like up in a Bronx? Bronx River last year or something? I'm like, get out of here. It's dirty. Nah, that's the whole story, though, Laura. They cleaned them up. The one that was in the Bronx? Yeah, they know where they've cleaned up the Bronx River a little.

Oh, and that is a result. That's the story. And then the dolphins in these wildlife. The dolphins name Lord was Belcalis. Why did you name the dolphin? and after Cardi B. No, just picking a Dominican name. Yo, he sent me this, like, this IG video of, like, crazy Dominican names.

Yeah, I'm sorry. It's the best. It's the best, bro. It's so real. It's so real. You, Francis? No, the one I did not believe, though, was Dysney World. No, I do not believe Deasney World is the name. I don't believe it.

That goes back to the end of the high thing. Usnavi. Ustnavi. That's real, though. Usnavi's real? I thought it was just a bit for the play. Nobody, does anybody actually know, Usnavi? There are real names in the video I sent that were real that are Usnave and Jace.

But U.S. Navy? Usnavi? Oh, I didn't even think. Nothing is too ridiculous. Nothing. Nothing. Just know that. Laura, you ready for the rundown? Yeah, yes. Let's go. Laura got the rundown, turn that up. Screen's on glow when she pulled up. Headlines heavy, but we still cut up. Life still flashing, we don't slow up. All right. Now Forbes release. It's updated. The Richard people in the world less.

And Dr. Dre made the cut for the first time. Yo, one billion. That's a lot of money. I don't think people, people throw the billion word around. They don't realize that's a lot of money. I'm numb because Elon Musk is at $870 billion. Nah, bro. He's on his way to a trillion.

It's so crazy. Well, and Elon Musk is the richest man Forbes has ever reported on. Yeah. So he's the richest man of all time. Well, other than Monsomusa, but that's a different time. Matsamusa? Who was Monsa Moussa again?

He was the head of the Mali Empire in Africa. Got it. They say he was the richest man ever lived. I mean, listen, nearly a trillion dollars is great. Respect to Matsamusa. It's Monsa Moussa. You've got to do the knowledge. Respect to Monsa Monsa.

Is this related to Mata pizza? No, it's Monsa. Monsa. Shouts to Monsa Moussa. Yes. I don't know if he cares for the shout-out on E-L-R. He's been around for it. But I don't know if you got to $870 billion.

Yeah, yeah. They said his, I mean, they had like the whole world. Well, yeah, I like the whole gold of the Mali Empire, West Africa, and then like did a pilgrimage. So he might have had more time. And literally gave away so much gold, it like enriched all of North Africa. Well, another way that he's not. Another way that is not like Elon Musk. Yes, very different. But Elon Musk is African. So we have that going for. Wow. Okay.

Don't ruin the joke. I don't know if you guys peeped this, but Live Nation reached a tentative settlement with the Department of Justice. So remember they were trying to break it up, break up the whole monopoly, Live Nation Ticketmaster? Yeah. Yeah, that ain't happening. Well, yeah, because Trump got in the way, right? I heard.

Yep. So the original lawsuit was filed in 2024 under the Biden administration. And then, of course, it proceeded after Trump took office. Now, the Trump administration opted for behavioral changes. I was like, what is that? So basically, it's just having Ticketmaster open up, you know, ticketing platforms to its right. That's it.

So other people can sell tickets too in a way. So in a way that's saying, hey, we've broken up the monopoly because you have to allow competition. But, eh, really? Yeah. Not really. Because all those crazy, because the big argument was also all those crazy fees. Remember, that was a big thing. Well, I think that was the biggest thing people were fighting against.

Yes. Well, yeah, all of that's going to stay the same. But that was the important part. Yeah. I read somewhere that $200-something million is going back to states that sued. so some states want some money, and there's other states that aren't going with this agreement. They have lawsuits that are going to continue.

Like New York is one of them. They're going to continue. So what's the short of it for the people? The short of it for the people is Ticketmaster is going to keep doing what they was doing. Nothing changed. And you got choice, and you can go to other places to buy tickets.

But you can't go to other places to buy tickets. Yes. Okay. So that's something. Something. I get it. But I don't think that's what people were gunning for. Okay.

And I think the real headline came out was because it was getting buried because there's other news. going on that people are just not covering this a lot. You know, like a war. Yeah, Epstein Files. Yeah, yeah. That's what they're trying to. Things like that. Not to talk about, but okay.

So yesterday, this is just fun. I saw Variety did a whole like Oscars prediction, right? So they were talking about all, you know, obviously all the big movies, Frankenstein, Marty Supreme, one battle after another, the secret agent. So this is who they think will win, could win,

should win. All right? Who they would think should win? could win will win will win and should have been nominated okay I'm curious to see what you guys think they think will win sinners best picture they think sinners will win best picture yes could win one battle after another okay all right should win the secret agent the secret agent I even know the secret agent I see it and should have been nominated was the voice of Hyn Rajab oh nice should have been nominated but wasn't nominated but wasn't it I thought that the Well, and the voice of Henry Jab was a documentary you covered on the program.

Yes, yes, yes. Spike Lee was a producer on that, right? I recently found out. And that one is controversial, obviously, because it's giving voice to the Palestinian struggle. Correct. But it has a lot of big Hollywood weight behind it, too. Yes, but still wasn't nominated. Not enough.

Brad Pitt was involved in it, too. It was Brad Pitt's production company. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So a bunch of big people put their names on it and help. But setting myself up to just get screaming. down as Zionist Jew boy, but how often do documentaries get up for best picture? It's not a... It's not a doc?

I don't know. It's not really considered a doc, is it? Is it a film? Is it acted or is it a... It's a doc. It's reenacted, I guess. It's reenactments. Yeah, little parts.

But it's a doc, but it's a doc, no? It's more of a doc. It's not a, you're not following an acted film. It's not a scripted film, no. No. No. Okay. Docu drama.

That's the word. I'm just saying, I mean, listen. And this should have been nominated for, best picture? Yeah. You're the same best picture. That's tough. That's what I'm saying. That's tough. You can easily make the argument it wouldn't be because of all the reasons that it wouldn't

be, but also movies like that don't generally get nominated for Best Picture. Just saying, I mean, let's look for the last one. They nominate some weird things. But we could also just throw our hands up and be like, you know what? I like the narrative that y'all didn't nominate it because you're hating.

That's right. That's right, Oscars. Y'all scared. But is it nominated for Best documentary? I feel like I saw that it was. So it's nominated for something. Just not Best Picture. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know the secret agent. Never, never.

I don't even think I've heard of it. I like what they got on sinners, though. Let's see if it happens. This Sunday. Best picture? Sinners? Guys, it was a fun. Griff is like, no.

It's a fun movie. Michael B. Jordan, best actor. I'm in. Okay. Best picture? Well, I guess I'm just thinking about what's better that you like this year. I liked one battle after another better. Okay.

For sure. I didn't see it, so I don't... What else is on the other? I like one battle after another, but it wasn't... It didn't do it for me like sinners did. Cinsers didn't do it for you like sinners did. Well, I'm just comparing those two. You liked Cinners better than that?

Yeah, personally, I did. Really? Yeah, I enjoyed Cenders a lot. I really like Cenders, too. But I, and I liked one battle after another. Not saying I didn't like that either. Listen, I take a lot of risk to make black people get mad at me in the chat. C sinners was average, guys.

It was not... It was not Ryan's best movie. It was cool The beginning was fire I was on the way to it being epic And then the vampires came And I was like I didn't need the van this I just didn't need a half-ass vampire movie

When I felt the same way about one battle after another At a certain point Well about which part of it This is like too long Like just where it got to where it was going All of that I do agree that as it went down the road And the cars and this whole thing

And he's on the side of the road It's like I hear that that that is to me What prevented it from being Oh my God, the best thing I've ever seen Because the first hour and change I felt the same way about sinners That's why I'm just comparing what's there I'm with you I actually think it's a fair count

I don't think I'd put either as my best So what else are we saying this year? Well, Laura gave me the list Really quickly the voice of Henry Jad was nominated for best International feature film not Doc Best International feature film And let's see if it wins Yeah, let's see

Because that will lead to And will they put it on the show Oh, will you add The category On the show Let's see if you're scared than that. Man, listen, to the audience go, if you can, watch it. It is

so powerful. I was sobbing watching that. So here's what's fully up. This best picture Oscars this Sunday. Yeah, this Sunday. The Secret Agent. Which we, none of us are familiar with. Bagonia, fire. You love

Bologna. I didn't watch it yet. I thought it's great. Do I think it was, do I like it much better than sinners or? It's in the same realm of I really liked it. Because to be clear, I'm trolling people just to troll. I really liked sinners. I just didn't think it was the best movie I've ever seen.

Okay. But you're also thinking of the best movies you've ever seen. We're talking about the Oscars this year. But this year, Marty Supreme didn't see it, but I saw it. It was good.

I liked Marty Supreme. You did? More than sinners? No. Okay. I heard Marty Supreme was in. I like Marty Supreme. You really like that.

Yeah, I really enjoyed it. I had fun. I went to the premiere. It was fun. It was cool. He got the little orange golf balls. But he went. You got the special streamed out.

You know what do you mean? You were at the whole. I sat in a room by myself with a bunch of students. It's not like I was hanging out with Timothy Shalamee and Tyler's a creator. I sat by myself in a room with a bunch of students. You actually got a really good, honest viewing. I was just sitting there with a bunch of kids. I was like, this seat y'all gave me.

Matter of fact, I need to bring this up. I think they actually, the celebs were like in another theater. And they just put me in a seat in a room with a bunch of people. I was like, with students. Because Tyler and them did walk in and present it. And then they left. and probably went to another theater. Or didn't watch the movie.

I think they went down to all to another theater. You think there was a dead-ass thing. Was it the day of the big premiere? Yes, it was like the premiere. Hold on. The real red carpet premiere was also there. Yes. And they put you in the loser theater?

Why do you have to frame it like that? It was with students, man. It was students. What was Tyler there? He didn't sit in that room. What about Timmy? They left. So yeah, you weren't in the A room.

No, you got disrespect. I was in the B room. Super Bowl E-Brose. Oh, this is crazy. They ever see the Super Bowl hats on? They didn't listen. So you got Marty Supreme. Here's one that I have heard from basically everyone is incredible and has the big feel of best picture.

I know it's real because when I saw the trailer for it, it looks so boring, I almost fell asleep. But I hear it's amazing. It's train dreams. Never heard of it. It's about the West and Native Americans and like it's supposed to be some really deep, amazing movie. Very best picturing. Don't sound more John Blaz than sinners. Let's go Google and they hate it.

F1. I like F1 a lot. Here we go. Here comes Apple, boy. Here comes Apple boy. I like F1 a lot. The best picturey type, though. Best picture's tough.

It feels crazy, right? Up against sinners and what they have? All right, here's the next one that I heard is amazing and didn't see it yet. Wait, did you guys see F1? No. You'll really enjoy F1. I'm going to watch it. I'm definitely going to watch it.

It's just like, you know, I love my, I love Damson Indress. So I am interested. That's part. Frankenstein supposed to be phenomenal I heard it I heard that it's right how did you Dei de los Muerto not go see Guillermo de laura did not go see it did not go see Guillermo del Toro in

Frankenstein hit her with the button congratulations you play yourself now then there's then there's Hamnet which is supposed to be amazing wait how many pictures get in this please that now it's too far no it's too much I'm done centers wins Hamnet, one battle after another. How long they've been having 10 movies in it? Like 10 years at least.

Oh, okay. I was going to say they added more movies and tried to take sin and die. Sentimental value is the last one. I haven't heard of that one. But, uh... Look, it's either F1 one day after another or a sentence. That's it? The ones you've seen.

That's it. Now, Hamnet is supposed to be brutal. But what's it about? It's about a baby dying, like a child dying in the parents' recovery. I watch that. Can't watch that. Where's laugh out of here? I can't.

That doesn't mean it's not great, though. No, it could be great. I'm not saying it. I'm not watching it. Neither have I. So. I can't take it. But that's what's up to Sunday.

I don't, you know what? It's not a bad list of films, though. Compared to other years, there are years guys recently where we've been like, oh, we saw one. Right. And they were sending us the DVDs and we still only saw one. I know. So this is a pretty good year.

DVDs. Is Marty Supreme really best picture material? The ping pong man? It's not about, the ping pong thing is, it's not really that. It's not that. It's not that. It's really about a, New York kid who comes from, you know, just hustling trying to figure it out, kid.

Okay. And he's finessing this ping pong thing. Got it. And that's really what it is. It's a fun movie. But it's also really a, I think it's also kind of about addiction and validation and, like, pushing the limits and, like, not knowing when to quit. And this guy, he's kind of, Marty's a disaster now that I think about it. Got it.

It's not like a, who he run a ping pong tournament. No, no, he's a mess. He's a mess. No, I got to watch it. I think that's now out to be seen. So I want to see a few of these. Maybe I'll try to see a couple more before Sunday. Speaking of Timothy, Chalema.

Chalemaget? Are you guys following this latest debacle of sorts? The opera ballet. I'm seeing that this is a big thing that he's getting roasted for being anti-opera. So I've only saw Doja Cat saying something. That was it? That's all you saw? I heard Misty Copeland came out with some venom.

And it was people before that, too. It's been like a week now. Can I actually see what started it all the actual Timothy Shalamee clip? Have you seen it? Do you even know what he said? I've read what he said, so I'd like to see it. Let's have a look. And I don't want to be working in ballet or opera or, you know, things where it's like,

hey, keep this thing alive, even though it's like no one cares about this thing. All respect to the ballet and opera people. No, you can't. I just lost 14 cents in viewership. Damn. I just took shots for no reason. That's not a shot. I hear what you're saying. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

So. Keeps going. By the way. I think they were also cooking him because his mom was a ballerina. Oh. Well, that might be why he feels like he has more insight in it and that it felt like it didn't feel like it was there. His mom was a former ballerina. Well, why didn't they come for a Maconnaie?

He was, well, you mean because McConaughey was just having a conversation with someone and going, no, I hear what you're saying. And no, he was like, you're not taking a shot. I hear what you say. But that's because what McCona, oh, I don't know why they didn't come from McConaughey. Because McConaughey could have been like, yeah, that was unnecessary. But it wasn't. This is being, I mean, listen, they're sensitive. Ballet and opera.

Hang on. Yo, ballet and opera hive. I want to see y'all come for Rosenberg. Here we go. I don't agree with what he said exactly. Okay. I am down to get sensitive about defending a group of people. who because of the color of their skin, religion or sexual orientation, disability, whatever the thing is that defines them,

I am down to be sensitive and defend anything loosey-goosey. Me getting butt hurt because someone said they think an industry is dead or they think an art form isn't popping like that. You may say you're an idiot. That's totally not true. Being offended by it, I can't be offended by it. It's offended? People are offended. Well, I think the thing that hit me and by the way.

I thought it sounded wrong. By the way, I just saw that for the first time. Yeah, me too. The thing that struck me about the whole conversation was like, first of all, Issa does ballet. Okay. It ain't free.

And the people who go very far in ballet, most of the time, not all the time, most of the time their parents have the time to help them go far in that, which means they have the means. Sure. It's a thing of means.

It is. They both are things of means. also? It's not. But what was the rest of the conversation? This is where we get caught. Well, Salome was just talking about himself and like, why he wants to be an act.

Is it like, is it about, I want to just be in mainstream movies? Is that what he's comparing it to? That's what I took from it. See, that's the thing. We only saw the clip. Because even that,

we still didn't see the overall context. What I think's funny about the clip is, he knows he's big enough that he's like, as he's doing it, he knows this might be bad. And he's still kind of being silly. So then the view... I don't think he's being that...

I don't think he's being that serious. Well, then the view jumped in. It's clip 12. Uh-oh, the view's in? The view is in. Which one was it? Was it Neil O'Connor Lip-Tard? And now he's facing new criticism

over his take on the arts during a town hall discussion with Matthew McConaughey. Well, so his grandmother, mother, and sister all danced in the New York city ballet. This seems like a family issue. But I also feel like this is a good example

of where people are so American culture-centric. These are international art forms. Like, ballet is everywhere, and it's not only not declining, it is huge in other places where the access is even better. So I find it an interesting that maybe he came from a place of not knowing that. Well, ballet is hard. Ballet is an art form.

And it's very popular here. And as a member of the dance theater of Harlem, a classically ballet black troupe, I am offended and disappointed in what he said. I didn't realize that he was that vapid and that shallow. Well, you know, I think it's more about him being young, and you're sitting with Matthew McConaughey and y'all,

Kiki-Kin and it chopping it up. Right, all right, all right. So I think he thought he could say that. First, he just made the good pink thing. movie. So, you know, he's a young, handsome man. I like this first. You know what's a Sheryl Underwood? She's a regular on the view? I mean, clearly, yeah. If he was playing him in a movie, he would respect the art form a little bit better.

And that goes to show a lot of young people need to understand. Don't just flip off and say something. Really understand that your words have meaning. People flip off and say stuff all the time, including you Cheryl Underwood. You're a comedian. And an staunch Republican. I wonder if she's still a staunch Republican. But Cheryl, Underwood's a staunch Republican? She was.

As you can see, I don't know that much about her as I didn't recognize it, but I thought her original take was good. I didn't know that. Yeah. I don't know my view host here. I was more offended by the white lady up there shucking her shoulders when Cheryl Underwood was talking. No, what she went, all right, all right?

That's a Matthew McConaughey bit. Oh, right. I was more offended by that. Yeah, no. What? No. I can't date no young, handsome. You can date anybody you want.

You know, I have no problem with it. But you come from it. dance family. And so this is the longest clip we've ever played. That's enough. Thank you.

Thanks Joe. Louise. Yo, y'all be cutting clips up nice. Why the you clip was so long? So, real quick. There's so much going on right now. If this, again, like I said,

if this was about people. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like I'd be more, it was a dumb, I think he's wrong. Well, I just wanted to see if you guys saw it. I didn't even think we'd actually care. No, Doja's mad. Doja was mad. That's what really made it a thing, Doja Cat.

No, that was like the latest in... That's how you saw it. I'd already been seeing it move for a few days before Doja Cat's something. I think it's honestly, honestly, I think it's a work. This is, this, I thought about this this this morning when I was outside with Bear. I was like, did Ebro really just say in our text that he thinks it's a work by the ballet and opera industry? Yes, it is. I'm like, this man is insane.

By the way, leading into the Oscars, Oscars on Sunday, Shalamays, all the talk. I got, boom, it's a work, B. They're stirring this up. So I want to go on the ride with you. So who is... Benefits? Yeah, no, who's leading it? I don't know.

The ballet industry. His mom and his grandma. There you go. This is what we're going to do. The Shalomeehive. You know what I mean? It's all a troll. Remember, and this is the other thing that struck me, too.

The Marty Supreme Rollout, remember how they were active. That marketing was active. Bro. That made it seem like it was going to be the greatest movie in the world. And I think that it backfired on them because a lot of people were so like this. is going to be insane. It got overhyped. Yes.

And then remember, they turned into the big hype of Salome versus Michael B. Jordan, which seemed like such a forced, this forced conversation of who's better and who should be thought of. And meanwhile, both of them are nominated for bad stuff. I think Michael B. Jordan has been the more decorated one throughout the season. I never even saw the Michael B. Jordan versus Shalame in common.

What? Never saw it. Come on, bra. How does that not make your, Ebrose, Algo is drunk. But that's the whole, that's why we're going to do this on the show. New segment. Ebro's Algo. Ebroz Algo.

Griff's with your Algo. You saw that, right, Laura? Michael B. Jordan versus Timothy Chalamee was the whole thing. People were doing think pieces. Torre whispering. Did you see that Timothy Shalamee and Michael B. Somebody at Toray haven't come whispering Rosenberg's here on this program.

He loves a Toray whisper. I want to understand why certain people don't understand. Is your mom upstairs? Maybe. Maybe the kids are sleeping. You're a grown-ass man. Make the video. No, but that was a big thing too.

So you're right. Back to your point, there has been a lot of hype just around the Shalamay. I went there. I was like, really were doing ballet opera? You could totally disagree with the point that like, because think about the point he's trying to make is whatever he was trying to say that led him there is I wouldn't want to be a part of these things that are kind of like fighting. I'll take it a step further.

I was just watching Sonny. I've met Sonny multiple times. Very nice person. I didn't even believe you, son. No, she got so serious. I felt like y'all sat around in a production room and was like, somebody's got to be really offended about this for this to move. And Sonny was like, as a Harlem dance theater, ballet, alma mater, whatever, I'm offended.

Even the panel didn't even know what to do. Their improv was terrible. When she said, I'm offended. I didn't know he was that vapid, flimsy, whatever she said. I was like, I mean, he's a kid. It was, he thinks that I get what he was trying to say. But obviously those things are very popular. But we're not going to act like they're mainstream popular.

They're not. Name an opera singer, guys. Name a current, not Misty Copeland. Name another ballet dancer. Well, Missy's retired. She's retired. That's the only thing I know about ballet is that Misty Copeland retired. So we're not going to pretend that they're mainstream.

They're not. But they're huge. Andre and Bocelli. Bacheli. Poverati! Is he still around? He's still doing his state? Is he Poverati still around?

He's doing his state? I have no idea. Poverati, I'm going to be honest with you. Poverati could be 75 or 80 years old or dead for 30 years. I have no idea. That's not nice. I'm just telling you the facts. The opera hive's coming for you. I don't know why we're playing with these people. Pavarotti.

Dead? He died in 2007. He died in 2007. So I missed it by seven, by 20 years. Oh, I can't believe Barati's gone. Yo, why are you doing this? What's wrong with you? Totally didn't. Why are you doing this? No, that I missed the new. No, what's wrong with this guy? Yo, get to the guru.

Come on, man. Why is this guy? He really wants the opera house. Rose and birds. All right. You know you are a beautiful queen. Ebro, don't ever play yourself. You're not a guru. Breathe in, breathe out. The original gurus at gmail.com.

The original gurus at gmail.com. Right to us. Tim, don't even shout it out. Your man, Bam, out of Bay. You, 83 points last night today. Yo, shout to Bam. Yo, love lifts people higher, man. Seeing him and his lady and her just loving on him after he did that.

It's great scene. It was. It was. They both being amazing professional. Asia Wilson. Asia Wilson. A beautiful story. And the only other thing that can lift you higher than love is taking 41 bleeping free throws in the game.

At the end of the game, he just kept taking the ball and trying to score. They were up like 30 points. And I respect him for it, by the way. I would do the same thing. I'm not knocking this. He just kept going for it. And then the whack-ass, pathetic wizards kept fouling him. So, like, the whole fourth quarter, he's just shooting free throws, too.

Now, is he making the free throws? Yeah, he shot like 36. of 43 or something. That's amazing. I'm a little irked that he broke Kobe's record and did it with so many more shots and so many more free throws than Kobe, but it's still very cool. Very cool. Shast of Bamat a bite.

All right. Who's out there? Who needs us? Laura, many. Many people are in need and they send their emails to the original gurus at gmail.com. The original gurus at gmail.com. Send your email today. You may hear yourself tomorrow. Hey gurus. I love you. guys and I just want your opinion on something. I have a best friend who's always going through

something with her boyfriend. She always complains about him and has even said that if she could go back in time, she would never have talked to him in the first place. And I'm the one she usually vends to. So I hear all of it. Her and her boyfriend recently broke up, but I have a feeling they're going to get back together. So am I wrong for not wanting to hear anything when it comes to him or wanting to be involved when it comes to them? Are you wrong? No, you're not wrong. That's not wrong. From the beginning, you're saying you heard he was whack and you wish they never met. Now they broke up.

You're not in the mood to hear about, oh, my God, I'm so sad when you know for a fact she told you, I didn't, I shouldn't even been this guy in the first place. I've been there. You're not wrong. No, tell her. Hey, you made the right decision. Let's not waste any more time. You said it yourself. You never should have been with him in the first place.

You're right. I know you're sad. If you want to go out, if you want me to help lift you up, if you want me to help have fun with you to get you back, I'm there for you. I'm there for you. I'm not mourning this man with you. He sucked. We're not mourning. That's how I'm not doing it.

And you're choosing. If you choose to get back with him, that's on you. That's on you. And I'm glad you went there, Laura, because the next question you need to ask is, are you still talking about him because of that dirt? Because if he was really whack. Why are you still talking about it?

But that doesn't mean that he's not whack? Doesn't that make it even easier? It's like, oh, so you had good sex with the guy. Move on. Maybe not. Some people struggle with that. They want the sex. Or they confuse the sex with actually.

feelings. Yeah, that's true. Why, when it comes to a best friend here, you don't have to hear it. Yeah, and by the way, though, be comfortable, though, knowing that then if she does get back with him, your friendship will probably take a hit. Well, but that's why I'm saying. Investigate and find out, is this really about him in the bed?

Is this really about the dick? Because then you could be like Because then every time it comes up, you can be like, stop it. You're just saying that because of the other good sex out there. It's cool. You'll find somebody else. Stop. It wasn't about his personality. You hated hanging out. with him. You didn't like this. You run down the list of all of the things. You're just

talking right now because you're horny. You'll find somebody different. And there is a possibility. Yeah, that she's going to be like, all right, and choose him. And you're cooked. That's not going to be. No, but then once again, no, but then once again, you can be like, look, you just went back because you're shallow and you just wanted some like EZE said.

Addicted to what the did. There you go. But yeah, you're not wrong for the feelings. Just know that there's a chance, because we've seen it a thousand times. We're the good friend who's there. gets left out because she goes back to the whack dude. We've seen it. That's right.

The tale as old as time. So say the gurus. So say the good. That was a fun show. I enjoyed today's program. You know why? Because it was about me? Yep.

I knew you were to say it. No, you know what I was thinking? Because literally last night I thought, we hit show 50 last Friday. And I was thinking about like the show and how it's going and how I feel like we're doing. and I feel like the one thing we can do too much of is we're also focused on the political climate that we can do days where it's all politics

for like the first 45 minutes. But it's important that we do that. Like that is also what makes us us. But I was like, but I do want us to find a groove where we just talk about good stuff. And I thought that's what today was. Covered a lot of stuff today. No?

I'm just listening. You're observant? Just listening. I feel both. I have some days I don't want to do with you. talking about. Some days I know. That's what you're saying. That's what I'm saying. And that's why I was just listening. Okay. Why are you trying to get me to disagree

with you? Because you do a lot of this. I know. You had a funny, you had a funny style face. Yeah. Let's you do that. I'll just say I thought it was a good different. It felt a little different. I didn't even say anything, man. The face is like, he's like a mother. You know, he gives a mother. Now I'm a mom.

Now I got boobs. Oh, now you're trying to. What? Nobody's going to move on boobs. Goodbye. Wrap it up. We'll see you tomorrow. A new Patreon up today. New Patreon. Don't call it to Congress.
