Just don't call in a podcast. Are we on? Oh. For the signal there, Rosenberg. Oh, you know. I was reading the Ebro-Algo videos that I sent over by the tonnage. Mixed batch yesterday, in my humble opinion. Big batch is actually a win from you.

No, no. For me, it's a big win. That's a big win. Yeah, you were batting like, you were like a baseball player. I'm going to the Hall of Fame. You're 3.30? I'm going to the Hall of Pain. Ladies and gentlemen, we're back for another week of shenanigans and good times with you.

Thanks to everybody in the Super Chat for the love all last week, and I'm sure y'all going to kick it off again this week. Remember there's a hype button when you're watching this. After this show goes live and anybody watching it later on in the day, hit that hype button. It helps you get going into algorithm. And if you're watching live right now, make sure you hit the thumbs up, the like, you know, all the things.

EL Army, represent yourselves in the chat. Where are you watching at? Stand up, E.L. Army. You know what? Let us know where you're watching at. We'd love to know more about you. How was your weekend, Laura Stow? It was good.

I was locked in. Kids party. You know how that goes? We had to swing one of those. And just, yeah, just hang out with the family. It was good. That was it. Yeah.

We ran into each other. Where did you guys run into each other? VintageCon. I don't know what this is. You can figure it out, though, couldn't you? Yeah. So my boy, shouts to my guy, top shelf premium. He had a little off top cipher with underground artists at VintageCon.

He asked me to come through and host it. Well, you out here still supporting the underground in New York. It's whatever. You're not from here. I know. I just like to do it as a foreigner, you know. So came through and did that. And then Laura hit me because Ricardo saw me on stories.

It was like, oh, Rosenberg's at the thing. So they popped by and I got to see the whole fan for a minute. Where was VintageCon? West 18. Street. Was it like in a large facility? Is this a small underground affair? It's like a it's like some space that they use for things like fashiony things fashiony cons. I feel like I've been there. Don't they do like friends and family shopping things over there? You know by the way I'm gonna tell you right now I'm sure Laura's been seeing this the so like the polo vintage has now

hit like a new peak it's never been in before. Oh yeah it's crazy. Yeah like it's out of control. Well you know on the on the on the so I'm a big polo shopper. on the polo app now literally on the polo you could buy polo vintage on the app on the pro ralphorin app they have a vintage section on the app like they sell their own vintage but but are they but is it vintage or it's their recreated vintage no no no it's vintage like expensive vintage yes like two thousand dollar pieces we're going to keep this for ourselves small of whatever from 1987. Wow. So yeah, apparently

there was like a Rob Report article about Polo Vintage. Like it's become its own. And it makes sense. I realize because like they had so much, so many different styles. Like it's the ultimate clothing to collect. They had every, a million of everything, you know? But those sweaters,

bro, a classic bear. Yeah. Or the USA. It sucks that it's not a great time to want to wear USA stuff. Because I see a lot of stuff that I'm like that's fire. I'm not spent. By the way, I was never into the USA. Really? You didn't like the, I loved the plain Navy, a plain Navy sweatshirt with the collar and just

the USA? I thought it was fired back. I was never into it. I like the bear. The bear I was in. Where did you? Bear with USA? Yes.

Rugby's I was in. Letterman's I was in. Yeah, yeah. And you know, there's a, what is it? Bobby's in Boston. Have you heard of that story before? No. So there's a man, a black man in Boston.

Bobby. Bobby. I believe it's Bobby's in Boston. Correct me in the chat if I'm screwing up the name. But anyway, it's a very. it's a vintage store in Boston or right outside Boston and the family runs it now Bobby passed away but double RRL like Ralph Lauren like the high-end Ralph Lauren kind of outdoorsy stuff and vintage look Bob they say Bobby's in Boston is like the OG spot you could still go there by appointment only

and look at like racks and racks and racks of blazers and rubbies and leathers and pants and all this Ralph Lauren tinty hold on real real quick. So Shat Shat Shat Shat so House DeVintes Scott. They do a nice job. Speaking of appointment only for clothing, we were at the Moynihan Train Hall doing our Big East tournament show that we do every year. This is ESPN. This is Don Hahn and Rosenberg. On the ESPN every day three. Yes. And we started, we always

interview the same, like, few Biggies people. And like, listen, it's a cool show, but now it's like my third year doing it. I've interviewed Walter Berry from St. John's. Charles Smith from Pitt. It's the same guys, blah, blah. I'm kind of like sitting there like, they're lovely guys. and the woman who runs the big east conference. But you're bored. But I'm a little bored.

I'm kind of looking at the guys. I said he was bored. He didn't say he was bored. Yeah, thank you. I wasn't. Bords's the wrong word, Ebro. Because I love the great people from Schwepps.

I love the great people from Schweps who sponsor it. Shout to Schwepp. Shouts to Schweps. Great time. Love that we can do that on our own show now. You know what I mean? Shouts to Schweps. So Walter Berry, who was the star of the St. John's team in the early 80s and mid-80s is there.

And he's talking. It's a fucking cool interview. But all of a sudden, Alan Hahn goes, you know, Walter, I heard you have some Mike Tyson stories. And I naturally perk up a little, as you guys might expect. Tell me how this man, Walter Berry, the first story he tells is about running into Mike Tyson when Mike Tyson was on the come up in 86. Tyson says I'm going to be heavyweight champ.

Walter Barry's already a big deal. He's like, ah, that's cool, man, good for you. I'm glad. This is when Mike Tyson's like knocking out tomato cans one after another, but he's not the man yet. Okay. The next time he's like, my man, John, John, or forget what the guy's name was, comes by my house with Mike in the Rolls-Royce drop top and my mom came out and took a picture with them blah blah blah.

Then the next time, three stories. The next time Mike hit me up and said he was going to dapper dance. Why did this man tell the he was at the Mitch Green fight at dapper Dan? Wow. He was, that's where the story went. And not only that, this guy drops. Walter Berry's probably late 50, 60 now, early 60s. I don't know who Walter Berry is, sir.

He was the star of St. John's. Yeah, I remember his name, but I, you know. He drops this, though. Yeah, matter of fact, I was tapping Mitch Green's girlfriend. Oh, wow. I thought he was coming for me. Oh, my God. He didn't use the word tapping, but he said dating, I believe.

Yes, yes, yes, yes. He thought Mitch Green was coming and knock him out. He's like, I had my, he goes, I had one of those brick cell phones in my hand. I was ready to knock out Mitch Green myself with the phone. Mitch Green comes in, starts grabbing Mike's pocket. starts feeling on Mike's pockets. But when it ended, he got in the car and drove away with Mike Tyson. That's the number one Mike Tyson's street story of all time.

No, it's up there. And you're still excited three days later. Could believe it. Look at you. The way you're just frothing about it. No, you can't. You look at you. Look at your eye.

And I felt, you know, as you guys know in every interview when there's a reason to ask about Michael Jackson or Mike Tyson, I do it. Well, I think that I hadn't done it was disappointing to me. Listen, you talk a lot. out on this program. Yeah. And the real thing people need to learn about this story right here is now you're no longer bored when you do your, that was, going to hand haul interviews for anything can happen. No, just do a better interview. What it means is just do a better interview. What that means you're a hack and you need to step your game up. See, he went right to hack, right? We told the trigger. The re- The trigger. Listen, it was a busy, busy weekend. You're going to be covering Oscars.

I am. I got you. All right, which was a shout to, man, listen. What? We'll get into it in the rundown. Yes, yes, yes. But also, yo, congratulations, you played yourself. Congratulations, you played yourself. Yo, Dominican Republic, y'all was supposed to beat the USA yesterday. What happened, Rosebara? I don't know if they were supposed to beat them.

I think USA was favorite to win the whole thing. No, I know, but still, you were supposed to be it. But in my algorithm, DR was favorite to win everything. Exactly. Yeah, I don't know. I didn't watch that, but, yeah, they won't. You don't like the World Baseball Classic as far as... Do you know the things I...

There are a lot of great things I don't make time for. baseball that this here's what the u.s did in the world baseball classic one guy was unwilling to shake the hand of his mexican teammate his real teammate in seattle cow raleigh the best player was unwilling to shake rosarina's hand because they were on different teams in the world baseball classic complete yo-yo nonsense not here for it then they had the navy seal who was part of killing bin laden speak to Team USA before they played Canada in the world baseball classic. Hit the button, bro. Congratulations.

What is that? You played yourself. Yo, the Dominican team was dancing to classic music. Every team was doing a cultural fun thing. Okay. We're talking about killing in war. Here goes the video for you. Great.

The American baseball team literally had the guy who killed Osama bin Laden do the pregame speech before playing Team Canada. Can we talk about how crazy that is? Like all these other teams are just leaning into their culture. The Italians have an espresso machine in the dugout and an Armani home run jacket. The Canadians have been rocking hockey gear basically the whole tournament. The Dominicans are dancing, celebrating, bad flipping, having fun, and leaning into their baseball culture. And what are the Americans doing?

They literally had this guy gather everyone around and sit down for story time about killing Osama bin Laden. Man, that's weird. He nailed it. He nailed it. Well, no, it's not really weird. I don't think it's weird. Why, that's all we know. What else would they be doing?

Right. Well, guess what, though? You're taking it. When they be celebrating black culture? Would they be celebrating Italian culture? Would they be celebrating an Irish culture? What culture would the USA actually be celebrating that's not violence? Honestly, with baseball.

No, with baseball. It's baseball, right? You could come up with literally eating hot dog. Yeah, okay. All right. Hot dog. Sure. Whatever.

Fair enough. But our culture is violence. Violence. That's our number one thing. And so real quick, you're going serious enough that you got to have the Navy SEAL, but we're also not serious enough that we are the only team in the World Baseball Classic who had players who left at the end. There were certain players who were like, yeah, I'm going to go back to spring training.

I'm wrapped up here. I did my... How am I as a fan supposed to care about the tournament when players on our team leave before it ends? Now, question, is it true that the Italian team? Yeah. Has Posada as a coach? Yeah. How is he Italian?

I don't know, on one side, I guess. You know these other teams need it. No, I'm fine with it. I just didn't know if there were rules. Like, and listen, I know some of them, I have some Puerto Rican friends who swear by through osmosis, they're Italian now, like, just because they live in Staten Island or wherever. They're just like, they have an accent.

And it's like, bro, you're not. But Posada's Puerto Rican? Yes. He was. King Lou. Half Italian, half Cuban, but born and raised in Puerto Rico. Oh, so he's like kind of legitimately. all three in a lot of ways, right?

Both parents are one thing, and then he grew up in another place. And he probably just wanted to coach, too. And they gave him the opportunity to do it. And Team Italy ended up doing really well. You're still in it. Team Italy. USA embarrassing themselves as per yuge.

And in hockey, when we do great, then it becomes all about Cash Patel pounding beers and, you know, no matter what we do, we seem to slip and fall. This weekend, the big conversation on my algorithm. was Jack Harla. Yeah. He put out an album.

They called him Music Snowchild. Bro, I was crying. I thought music stole child. They called him that too. They also called him most definitely not. Uncommon. Uncommon?

Do we have the list of names they've given Jack Harlow? Uncommon. Let's get this picture up. I actually think somebody should have called him Michael McDowell. Oh, that was yours? I said that on.

I said that on social media. I like that one. Michael McDowell. Here's the list of Nate. Lint condition. Neo-colonizer soul, music stole child, ninth one to Brett, Charlie Kirk Franklin.

No, Charlie, it's not right, though, because Kirk Franklin is an R&B. That's the only reason it doesn't work. Oh, my God. You don't that back up, Lou, I'm not done. I mean, uh, Rassan. My favorite up here, though, I'm gonna tell you, the home run.

What? Luca Van Dross. Home run. No, that's some, this is, This is quality. White thought is funny. Luca Van Droste, though, is a home run. Ghostface Vanilla, uh, L.L. Cool Whip, eh.

Honky, honky, honky, instead of Tony, Tony, Tony had me, though. No, that's, that's lazy. You could do, you could do better. Now, if you're not tapped in and you're wondering why he's catching all this vitriol from the Internet, it's because rapper, Jack Harlow, decided he wanted to, and this is his quote, get blacker and drop a soul R&B album? But here's the question. Would any of the vitriol have been there had it not been for those terrible quotes in the New York Times interview?

Maybe. But not the same level at all, right? Yes. So he decides it's a good idea to go sit with Caramonica and what's the other. And Coscarelli. And Coscarelli at New York Times and have this discussion. Let's check it out. John's saying you didn't retreat into a whiter genre.

In fact, you arguably went into, deeper into black music. Yeah. Deeper into black. So unnecessary. Is that, was that conscious? Was that a little twist on the typical move that white rappers make, which is to retreat back into traditionally white sounds? It certainly made what I already wanted to do even more appealing.

Absolutely. Because you like pushing that boundary, that line? I think I love black music. I love the sound of black music. Who among us? Yeah. Yeah. And of course, I'm hyper aware of the politics of today, that safer landing spot that

a lot of my white contemporaries have found. And of course, it appealed to me to do something that I felt like at a time when there's plenty of people expecting me to take some of the routes, shall you take. To take the route that not only might not be expected, but is also the one I genuinely want to take. So all the stars aligned in that way for me, to be honest. Damn. Here's the problem that many people have.

First and foremost, Jack Harlow, I like you, you're a nice guy. And I think I've listened to a lot of your music, and I think you're a good rapper. Solid. Solid. And I think the musicality on this project is actually great. Your performance sucks, bro. Whoa. You didn't do the work.

So you want to drop, you want to sing. You want to drop an orange. be soul album but not be able to sing at all like at all it's it's and then you didn't do the work with any of the people in this cultural genre like where's your work where's your work like even even and i you know i take issue with people calling country music a white genre right but even in that space where biance says you know what i'm a show up she collabs with the people in that world. Yes.

Well, I mean, you can even make the, you can even make the argument that some of the white artists that they refer to when they go to that world, Post Malone still does records with the people. It's expected. You can't even do it, period, full stop without showing up in Nashville and sitting with Nashville songwriters

and that industry for them to okay you doing it. The problem also, Jack Harlow, is you're putting this on like a costume. Like where because you're white, You just get to choose where you want to pop up. That's triggering for black folks. Because black folks don't just get to choose to show up places. We got to do a whole bunch of work and backflips and all the other stuff.

Even Beyonce. Even Beyonce. Had to fight. They booed her. She's from Houston. Yes. She's from all of it. Yes.

Did all the work, got all the features. Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton showed up to everything. But also even before. But even before that. What's up? They worked at the award show with the chicks. And got crucified. And that's what she got.

And still got all of that vitriol, Beyonce. And you're just like, I love black music. I just want to show up here. Then you play around in people's faces. I don't know if I sent over, did I send over the comedy skit? Everybody knows that Monica is like this viral. I've never heard that. Is that a thing?

Well, it was a comedy skit online that people were like throwing around. It's like my nigger, Monica. And this dude was saying, you have it for son? You don't have it. Let me send it over, see if we can get it up for y'all if you haven't seen it. But that's the gist of it. Is that there was a sketch that it's based on or people someone made a sketch about it? No, no, no.

There is a sketch that's already existed. Okay. And when people heard that his album was going to be called Monica, they was like, the sentiment went out. Like, why are you calling your album Monica? So my dumb that my default was when I heard it was an R&B album and it was named Monica. Yeah. I assumed it was about Monica. Oh, that was like an OMB artist.

Well, yeah, I hadn't seen on, I haven't been on Twitter. Twitter yet. So the only logical thought I had was you made an R&B album. I don't know. Monica was like the epitome to you of 90s R&B? I don't know. Well, look. I hadn't seen this yet.

Listen. And then I went online and went, oh. I think for you, yes. It's not dumb because you just didn't know it. No, I had no idea. That's a thing. But, Rassan, I just posted it again. It's a, man, I've been seeing this for years.

For years. Years. It's just this white comedian cracking jokes about growing up around black people and being an immigrant. But can you ask one question before we play that? While he basked and puts it, why on earth would Jack and the team make a decision to go and to discuss this for the first time in a big way?

We're going to sit with the two white nerdy music critics Rather than go to a place. You played yourself. They weren't thinking. And or weren't caring. And I think that's why people are mostly offended. You weren't caring. You didn't think that that you weren't careful

because I'm going to tell you something. In hip hop, you know, which is, it's black music, if you can bar it up and you make a few mistakes, we've given passes. Eminem wearing a do rag. Remember everybody was like, why you got a do bag on, bro? Yeah, it's not the same level, but I'm just saying. It irritated people.

Yeah, people were at the time. Eminem had an inward scandal. Right. He had an inward scandal. With the ex-girlfriend. Yes, yes. And people were like, all right, but you got bars. I cool and he apologized.

Benzino made a whole magazine about it. You remember the whole thing. The whole thing. Right. And so there's been a history and hip hop where passes have been given. R&B and soul music, you got to be able to sing, bro. You got to be able to sing. You got to be able to or at least have soul, at least have feeling.

When I listen to the album, I don't feel nothing, I feel nothing, Jack, and that's a problem. Joe Budden said something super interesting, I thought. He got kind of pooed by the on the clip I saw by Parks and the other guys, but I see what he was saying. Joe Budden said it gave him gunna vibes. And I understood what he was saying. And they were saying, oh, no, don't, that's not gonna, gunna, but I see what he was saying that it wasn't singing.

It's just like light rap. You know what I'm saying? You took what was supposed to be an R&B aesthetic and did kind of mumbled, light mumble rap on it. And that's not. And once again, I went into it based on how you're looking, what people are saying about it, the way the beats drop on it.

And I'm like, and then the change. on top was him feeling too comfortable saying I got blacker. No, and not sent people. And why did he and also, you plagued yourself. First of all, in my experience of Jackson's the very beginning. I really do think he's a good dude. I always

thought that he did have, like we had real conversation about race many times where his understanding to me always seemed to be like a pretty aware dude. When they asked him the question about retreating, not only did he say I got blacker, that's the easy line to grab onto, but it was more

like he thought about it. You could tell he did think about it. Like, well, they normally do this. So I'm gonna do this. As opposed to the easy answer is, guys, I never, no, this is the music I love. I made an album with the artist that I wanted to work with and make the music I love. But I guess that wasn't the case. Well, no, he was being as honest self. Not, there's no easy answer. He was being true. Yeah, that was that was the answer. Now, here's the Monica comedy skit that's been going around internet for a while. It was really weird because I was the only white guy there. And everybody called me the N-word but I didn't understand what they were saying right I thought

everybody was just misgendering me the whole time my name is Zach and everybody they're calling Monica you what's up Monica if you're white and you don't get it you don't have any black friends if you're white next to a black person who doesn't get it you can't Explained it Did anyone ask him Why the album was called Monica? I haven't seen that clip.

Maybe they did, maybe they didn't. I don't know. Don't you think that? I feel like that would have made it around. I haven't seen it. But that was the early, that jumped out when people heard the album title.

And I saw it and I was like, I don't, and I honestly gave him a pass at the time. I was like, nah, I don't think that's what he's doing. You gave him a couple. That, me too. So as the,

The weekend went on, you know me, I'm quick to defend against a Twitter outrage. So I'm like, all right, let's see. And then as everything kind of kept, I was like, this is not good. No, this is not what I know. And also it's the year. And you know, De Angelo passed this year and the sounds of it were super voodoo at the beginning. Like, they called him DeAnglo. You saw that one right.

They called him De Anglo Saxon. I saw it. I saw. The Angelo did crack me out. I don't understand. Eh. So yeah, that's, that's, uh, Jack Harlow gate. Now.

I for me and I went through the album multiple times multiple time multiple time and watch the world baseball classic no I didn't watch okay that was just on my I was just like how much time you had no no no I well because I had to talk about it with jazz right big R&B head so I wanted maybe I'm bugging I'm being too harsh because I am harsh when it comes to R&B yeah I am I am harsh when it comes to R&B like well you seem to see but maybe but you made a good point maybe he wasn't trying to do R&B maybe he's doing some light rap hybrid soul thing he's doing. But no, no, the reason

I said he sound, I like Joe's thought that he was making sounds like Gunna, the music of it is very much, I'm making an R&B album. Yes. He just didn't have he's not Robin Thick or John B. He didn't like lean in and start singing. It was kind of like talking on it. But it's also

to get bro's point, he didn't sit down with the people who live this, you know what I mean, even try to work with them. Well, do we know who I blame Drake. Deep down inside I blame Drake. I blame Drake. the way though Jack Harlow's always wanted to be in the Drake he's no they're real friends I mean I know and that's that that

aesthetic he wanted but Drake has real songwriters around him and Drake sometimes really leans in on the singing thing and does pretty well and the songs are so great the songs are so great that you're like yo this is a great song like hold on we come home no he's he has phenomenal he has classic R&B so no no classics Jack Harlow you you didn't do it. You did not land it, bro. You missed it completely. It's tight. I hate it for him. And I'm a take it. And by the way, I saw 9th one to tweet if Justin Timberlake would have did an album like this. What was the angle of that? I think he was just saying he was just going white for white. But like

what's what was the point he was trying to make? Like, you wouldn't have this energy for Justin? I didn't know what he was trying to say. I think that's what he's saying. But Justin's a singer. But that's what my point was. Justin would not have done vocals like that. It would have been real singing vocals. How about this? Justin Bieber. Black folks will be like, now, that's Arn Bieber right there. When he decides he's going to make an R&B record, I see a lot.

Now, that's a record. And he's really singing. What's a really good point, because his last album was basically all that. Yes. And the people that he chooses to work with are all that. Not that one's in. I don't know everyone who Jack worked with.

I don't need it. So I don't want to disrespect if he worked with great people. Well, I just want to assert, if Jack, if you did lean in with the R&B community that really writes this and makes this sound, and they let you come out. sounding like that, they plagued you.

Congratulations, you plagued yourself. I, psh, yo, y'all was talking about interviewing Jack Harlow. I was like, I don't think it'll be, I don't. So this was before I saw it. Although now I disagree with you even more. If we could have gotten him now, I'd say definitely. But what am I going to say to him? What's this be said?

What you're saying right now? But he can watch this. I just thought of you. But by the way, when I hit the group chat, again, it was early on a workday Friday. I didn't know what the conversation was. I just saw he dropped an album out of nowhere. Eight songs. Oh, he made an R&B album.

Interesting. I didn't think it seemed like a huge leap from his sort of style and knowing what he's like musically. Although I'm shocked, no one brought up over the weekend. No one brought up our brandy and rage acolyt. Well, someone did. I saw an algorithm or I saw a post on Ebro's Algo. Someone said, I clearly remember Jack Harlow not being familiar with Brandy and Monica.

and also I guess there was another interview where he wasn't familiar with some other R&B but that wasn't what happened he was familiar with Brandy he didn't know Brandy and Ray J were siblings That was the huge controversy Yes yes yes yes yes But at any rate I was Rassan I'm glad you text me that

I was just about to go look How the album was categorized And it is categorized as an R&B soul album Yeah Congratulations You play it yourself Listen guys Y'all can keep playing around

If you want to But if you want to be in black spaces And you want to make popular music And you want to use black Aesthetic You're gonna have to do more work than that I'm telling you It's a

Well and you also This whole just throwing on some rim glasses And a most deaf hat And leaning back And getting some certain beats It ain't gonna cut it bro It's just not And by the way

There are plenty of white artists that black audiences love because they're doing the work and they know how to actually sing. You mentioned John B. I mean, we go back, that's why I called Jack Harlow Michael McDowell. Because McDowell's is the fake McDonald's. And Michael McDonald's.

Oh, don't know how. I didn't know where he was going. Michael McDowell. No, always love him. Everybody loves Michael McDonald's. Nobody would ever question this soul. Ever. And I'm here to tell you you can be on the right side of everything, be loud and outspoken about it and still get chewed out every once in a while.

So no, my point is, if you do nothing, if you do absolutely nothing, because I'm telling you, even if you're a good white, you're going to get slapped back every once in a while because you are using your privilege to choose to be in a space. Yes. So every once in a while or sometimes regularly, depending on the season, you might get a shut up white boy. You're like, hey, I really want to be here. You can't never say anything important or do it. And then take a step like this. And you know what I mean? It's just, again, I don't know where his heart was on it,

but it did not come off good. Look, I think he is, he loves the music. I think he just sees it like he saw hip hop. It's something I want to do. And unfortunately, R&B and soul music is so coveted by black Americans that you can't just play with it and get loved. It's not going to work like that.

You can't. And you're right. It's going to work like. Hip hop gets a different, as much as people love hip hop. It doesn't get the, they're not the same connection to it. No, no, no, no. In the culture. Not at all.

But Jack Harlow, uh, regroup, dust yourself off. You're a nice guy and hold it. Matter of fact, there's, congratulations. You played yourself. Matter of fact, you do yourself off and try again. I don't know if you're aware. It's a very famous R&B song by an artist named Alia. She was very popular.

I'm kidding. Um, now we didn't shout these out. Um, somebody made these. We got these funco. What are what? Pop yourself. Pop yourself. No.

Pop yourself. Wait, it's nuts. It doesn't say pop yourself, does it? It doesn't say pop yourself on a side. It does. It does say pop yourself. It's funco pop. I understand, but it clearly says pop yourself.

Baskin, get this single right here. Yeah. Pop yourself. All right. Well, shout out to Serene Storm 43 or 6. That's who did it? She wanted, yeah, she wanted us to shout out her YouTube because that's where she watches us.

Oh, thank you. You know, this is super. Storm. You know, if mine has, I don't like that I look like Laura's brother-in-law juice. Oh, see? Yeah, your beer should have been brown. But, and my glasses, and I don't do thick rim glasses, but they don't have that. But I'm wearing the commanders.

That's what I believe it is. Yes, yes, yes. You know, this is super. See, guys, I think this is worth putting somewhere. I think it's very sweet. We have a big debate going on, family. You'll be, thank you. Where they want to do, well, Lauren Rosenberg, as they, not me, want to do, like, you know,

decorating of the studio. And I'm so over studios being decorated. I don't know what to do with myself. And I hear Ebro. But I think if it's stuff that's like Like these you'd have to take them out of the box For them to pick up on camera Right

People people know what those are though People like nerds know what the funco boxes are So like the display of your own funcos is a thing All right you know what I'm saying? All right by the way well we have gifts Shout out to our guy Greg at WWE Today is brought through lemon pepper step or man Today to know today is 316 day

All right. NWK born came through and said, Shouts from Newark, New Jersey, 27 year old fought since a kid from my mom driving me to school on hot every morning to me driving my sister now. are the voice of my every day. Sell X2.3 came through and said, it's like USA is Cobra Kai and everyone else is Miyagi-do.

G-G to USA, hate ending that game on a bad call. Guess what, though? D.R. still going to party. And lastly, Grim B.K. says, I saw that comedian clip. It was cheesy, but whatever. But if Harlow named his album that, and it comes from that joke,

then he's playing in our faces. That would be, I agree, the number one face playing would be if that's the case. Wow. Kyrie Navarro came through and said, Love you guys. Loyal Fott. Happy first birthday to my first baby.

Arielin. We both listen every morning heading to daycare, keep it going. And lastly, shouts to Serene Storm who came through. And LaGoing's 56. Shout to all you guys.

Yeah, the Funkos. That's the lady who gave us to Funko's, right? Yes, you'll leave. That's Serene Storm 3. 4306. Oh, thank you. Sorry. Listen, I,

Ebro's Algo is a great place to be. Before we get to the rundown, Can you bring up, um, what you got? Algo number three. For me, please. How's the number three? Hmm. There's so much going on.

Y'all number system ain't really cracking like that. The talking point from MAGA is, well, Obama dropped bombs too. Yeah, he did. And he did it better. Obama was able to use surgical strikes and limited military operations to take out targets and not start a fucking war. How about that? He did it better.

In fact, most of the things that the Trumpies like about Trump, Obama did better. We'll go with unemployment. Obama did better. Economy, Obama did better. Deportations. Obama did better. He was able to deport way more people than Donald Trump, and he's able to do it on one-tenth of the freaking budget.

Yeah? And without sending goon squads into American cities. Obama did it better. So trying to say that Obama did it too on any subject just shows the failure of Trump and the failure of his people to recognize that, that everything that Trump said Obama did, Obama did it fucking better. Thank you, Keith Bell. They just don't like that a black man did it better than a white man.

That's Keith Bell 841. He just popped up on my elbow. I figured for all our friends watching, if you need a clip that you want to send and really trigger your Maga family and friends, that's the one. one for you today. That'll do it. It's dead on too. Yeah.

Let's get to the rundown. You're ready? Let's go. Let's go. Run down time. Laura got the rundown down. Turn that up. Screen's on glow when she pulls up.

Headlines heavy, but we still cut up. Life still flashing. We don't slow. All right. The 98th Academy Awards went down hosted by Conan O'Brien. And yes, best picture went to one battle after another. Wow. O-B-A-A.

As it's known. Well, it was a big celebration, though, for sinners. Best original screenplay went to Ryan Cougler. Oh, that was so fire. Oh, it was so fire. Yes, but they won for Best Original Score and Best Cinematography. And that went to Autumn Arkapal, who made history as a first woman to ever win in that category. And during her speech, she had all the women stand up, bro.

It was so dope. To me, it was perfect. Because, you know, I was on the fence about, is sinners the best picture of the year. It won everywhere to win. Yeah. Original, I mean, Cougler getting director

would have been awesome too. I firmly believe he will get that one day, 100%. But he gets original screenplay. She gets cinematography. Yeah. The one award I absolutely thought was the most deserved of anything

was Michael B. Jordan winning for best actor. That's right. Man. Because he, to me, to see someone play two roles and they feel so distinctly different, I thought was so incredible. So that was, they won, they won, bro.

You know, listen, I'm just happy they still like us. Like, actually, we have some elite friends. Yeah, no, they're now very elite. They're very elite. The other thing I'm really excited about with this centers thing, and this is obviously things I've learned since Coogler came up and talked to us about it and watching his, you know, the posts about the film that they actually shot it on

and the different types. or even learning how to, like, shoot it a certain way so it was able to get in these IMAX theaters, which they normally don't give to black directors and black film budgets, period, full stop, was all of the business that people were really upset about with this film, which is him having some, you know, the terms of the deal.

The other thing is he owns his IP. So whatever the sequel is, whatever the spinoffs are, whatever the animation becomes. If there's all of these things, he owns all of that. Well, not only that, he owns the film. The film comes back to him. Yes. And he will completely own the film, which is like, yeah,

there's like two or three people in history who've ever done that. Right. So beyond the film, the history in that deal is stuff we've never seen before. And it was just beautiful to see how much they love each other like the cast, right? You felt the love through the screen. You could see it. Yeah. Like as each and every one of them won,

everyone was celebrating each other so fire. Like, did you see Ryan run to get her child? So he, so her child could see her win. Like he ran down looking for the baby and was like, here, look at your mom win this. Like, it was such a beautiful. No, it was, it was awesome.

And as we talked about the end of last week, I got to rewatch it. I enjoyed it. At the time, I didn't think it was like incredible. But now there's, I talked about it more and more and more. I want to go in with a different eye. And we looked like, we were in all of it. And I remember being.

like, I wish I had more closure on the indigenous people that were chasing the vampires. There were things I wanted, right? Then the vampire thing, I was like, okay, maybe you had to do the vampire thing because then that got the box office going a little bit more. I wasn't a big fan of the vampire thing. But then the second and third time that I saw it, I think that's where it really started to click and obviously the narrative that is shaping about black culture, black music, and that experience from the bayou, of which so much black

American culture comes from, I think for me, you know that that's really what drives home. No, and like, as I told you guys, the first 45 minutes, I was like so ant and then it kind of trailed, but I want to go back and watch it again from the lens that I now know it's about. Yeah. You know what I mean? Because everyone did say about that movie and they always made the point in promo me. People seeing

it two and three times. Yeah. They were like very keen on that. There were a couple other ill things at the Oscars. Number one, Sean Penn won Best Supporting Actor and didn't come. And I loved that what's his face? Uh, McCulley called Kieran Culkin.

Karen Kalkin presented the award. And he's like, Sean Penn couldn't be here or didn't want to be here. I'll accept it on his behalf. Yeah, with Shade. But I think it's the shade because, well, I couldn't tell if it's Shade or almost giving him props. He clearly, Sean Penn, as far as I know moves to the beat of his own drum. Yeah. Bro, what other film thing were you doing that would keep you from the awesome?

I don't think that's what it is. You didn't show. I don't think that's what I think he didn't want to be there for some political reason. Oh, that's my assumption. So the other film that won the Voice of Hein Rejab? She didn't know. It didn't end up. Oh, it was nominated.

It was up against, you saw it was up against? It was up against that sensitive, what was the thing? It was in so many categories. The Danish movie that it was up against was also up in tons of other categories. Anyway, the main actor in the voice of Hein Rajab, the star of it, isn't allowed to come to the United States because he's Palestinian. Cannot come. Cannot come. And so there's a couple of other stories like that that were circulated.

around the Oscars that I think there were some actors that had issues with how the Oscars are like They're like one foot in one foot outing You know but speaking out but isn't that very white America? It's very white America, but I'm saying that might be why somebody like a Sean I assume Sean Penn's was political Yeah, he's been so we know Sean Penn's been out there like he goes hard for stuff he goes hard for that's right I will say though that we could be completely wrong completely wrong figure out what it is the um in memoriam My guy, Billy Crystal, shout's to Billy Crystal,

did the Rob Reiner tribute. Oh, man, that was amazing. And then, like, all these stars from his biggest movies came out on stage with the picture thing behind him. And then, like, the trip, so many people passed this year. I know.

Barbara Streisand came out to do a thing for Robert Redford. I'd forgotten Robert Redford even died this year. Yeah, and, yo, she sung. I don't know the last time Barbara Streisand sung in public. She's 83. She hit the chorus of the way we were at the end. 83.

Wow. Robert Duval died as well. And then I saw some people online were upset that James Vanderbeek got no love in the immemorial. Eric Dane was not in the immemorial. And there was one other one that people were sort of upset about. But the immemorial had a lot of people this year. Wow. Did you see?

So the, I didn't see any of it. K-pop Demon Hunters won two for Best Original Song for Golden and for Best, best animated feature. So they go up. Did you see that? I saw that they won. Yeah. So she goes up on stage

and does like a beautiful speech and then she wanted to include the rest. Yo, bro, the way they shut them down was so disrespectful. They were just like, they were in the middle of speaking and it's like, nah, da, da, da, da, that.

Oh, no, you can't. She was like, five more minutes. She was like, just give me one more, one more. Yo, the disrespect was so foul. You can, you can get away with going entirely too long. if your awards are early. When your awards are late.

Because they started at seven last night, which is earlier than I ever remember. And they still got to the main event stuff at 11 o'clock. The actress, actor, best picture was like 11 o'clock. Yeah, it was crazy late. Conan was pretty funny, though.

Took some shots, had some fun. People have their shots at Paramount and CBS. Who's bigger into the Oscars between you two? He's the big award watcher. I'm not in last night. You know, you know, the Oscars was watched by 75 million people. I'm not that into it. I'm like, I fast forwarded until I would see the people I was interested.

Oh, got it. Okay. I knew I wanted to see Billy Crystal do the thing for Rob Reiner. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And his wife, of course, but no, I'm not like that. It's not, it's a fun. The Rob Reiner story's crazy. Is there any closure on that story?

So, no. So it's the son. Oh, no, yeah. That, we know that for you, it was the son. 100%. And him and the son were beefing. It was political or? No, no.

No, no, no. What was it? So the son was a drug addict who'd been up and down and like my dad was telling me that he'd been seen some articles like people had felt like the son should like not be around for a while. He's in and out of rehab. At some point, 10 years ago, they made a movie together about his son's addiction. Right, right.

Okay. But at this stage. I'm confusing with the Gene Hackman story. Got it. Got it. That one was weird. This one's more straightforward, tragically. I just don't know what you say about it.

Like my brain. My brain goes to this dark place of like, is your life even worth it if it ends that bad? If it ends with your child killing you, like, oh, he had the best life. Rob Runner's life was so ill. I know.

I don't know. It's so sad. Why not? I don't know. It's where my brain goes. I'd rather, I, like,

you'd trade it all to not have it end with you and your wife being murdered by your son. You know what I'm saying? It's just so bad. I just, yeah, it's horrible. It's just so horrible.

I can't like shake it when I think about that story. In all of our lives. I hate to be this guy. Good or bad, there's a lesson in it. That's all there is to it. That's why, listen, unfortunately, I hate to break it to y'all. We're here for a blip, man.

We're here for a blip. A blip in time. Yeah, but if that blip could not end by my throat being slit by a family member, I'm going for that. Yeah, but how much greatness did you have until that moment? So much.

You didn't know that was coming. And you know, Rob Reiner had an ill relationship with his dad, Carl Reiner. He was like so jealous. of his dad growing up and was so it was such a huge thing but he was close with him and just like jealous because his dad was such an icon like carl rhiner was such a gigantic hollywood icon and rob riner at the time when he got started was like a pudgy actor he was just a a pudgy actor on archie bunker he was the boyfriend he was the boyfriend on archie bunker and had never made a movie and was like

just he got the job because he was car riner's son and then found his voice and worked his ass off and there was one line I heard him say that when he was growing up and struggling with the shadow of his father someone said did he ever make you want to change your name and he was like yeah and they were to one he's like to Carl like I just wanted to be just be my dad

you know so it's interesting then that whatever he had with his kid it just was when that father's son thing right and maybe there's a story in there for us to learn maybe we don't know all the facts maybe there's something in there besides just raging drug addict yeah maybe there's something that pushed his son down that path.

I don't know. I look at the more obvious lesson, too, of if for everyone who was at the party that night at Conan's house, Conan has his party, and the son's there while in and had to leave the party. Apparently he was on new drugs. He had gotten on new meds.

And then they went back and he's in the house with them. I don't know what you do if you're a friend who sees something like that to like maybe pull him aside. He needs to go somewhere right now. A real friend would. But I don't know. Most families, I know some families that have some people in their house and they're questioning.

Are they good? Like, should I let my son stay here tonight? He's bipolar. Yes. Or she's bipolar. It's my son. It's more common than you think, guys. And I'm not sure if I'm safe with my child.

And it's hard for a parent to go, yeah, I'm going to tell my child they can't stay here when they need a place to stay. Because we're worried about our safety. Because we're worried about our safety. And that's why the, as they get older, like, I, I've seen scenarios where it's like maybe a single mother and she's tiny. The sun is very large and heavy. She can no longer control him and he's not himself when he has an episode. Right.

So that's where I can get really dangerous. Yeah. It's just really sad story. It's super sad. It was a beautiful, beautiful tribute though. Yes, yes, yes. I enjoyed the Oscars overall. Just all the special moments like that center's music performance.

Oh, it was beautiful. I mean, you say you saw it before? I thought I saw them perform something like that. But it wasn't this elaborate. Misty Copeland. Oh, wait. How about Misty Copeland coming out of retirement to stunt on Timothy Shaliman? Right.

That's what everyone said. Let me show you. There's that part. And oh, by the way, she just had hip surgery. That's right. She retired, had hip surgery, and then is out there doing that. Those are new hips, y'all. Brand new hips.

Yeah, that's crazy. She's probably in pain doing it, but she's like, I'm going to show out. I'm going to show you. Shalemae kept catching it, too. Oh, they was on it? Did he win anything? No. No.

And Conan had. Congratulations. And Conan had a funny-ass joke, too about like, he's like there's a lot of security concerns here about things that could happen at the Oscars this year. Dangers on both sides from the opera and the ballet. He laughed, though. That was Shalemae laughing. By the way, so I heard. But, you know, he's a New York kid.

He could take the score. I totally agree. I think he'll be right. take this but I think also the Kylie thing I think it's a collection of things that are making people side eye him and just think that he's like gassed or spoiled

or whatever I think he seems like a really decent he always seems like a decent fellow when I see him yeah so I took that you know his thing is kind of a joke gone bad it wasn't like you know naming your album after someone's name that sounds like a racial slur Monica

it can't be if it's that it's the biggest congrats of all to i i can't even i don't even come back from it if that's the reason i don't think you can't come back from well he's never going to substantiated now he's going to say it's about a girl i need i need pictures who is monica i by the way don't tell me you just love friends i know if that if that's the case then you damn sure shouldn't have been making an r&b soul album after our friends character congratulations i was going to name it phoebe but it didn't feel R&B enough so I went Monica. Dwight came to New York.

He was looking for the central perk. I cannot. That is so funny. You all ready to get to the gurus? Let's do it. Gueroos. Hey, yo, it's shop with a gurus. Rosenberg.

It's all right. You know you are a beautiful queen. Ebro. Don't ever play yourself. You're not a guru. No, not a guru. No, you are. You're not leaving now.

Once you're in, you're in, bro. I ain't going to hold you. It's hard, man. It's hard being responsible. Nah, you got jumped in. You stuck now. That's it. You for life.

Right? Now you can't leave. All right. Let's breathe in. Breathe that. The original gurus at gmail.com. The original gurus at gmail.com. Where the gurus unite to fight for what's right.

Come on, Ebro. Lean in. Zen. Zen. Burn the sage. All right, Rosenberg. Who's out there? Who needs us?

You know, Basque made a great point. I think all this happened to Jack. because he went to the Kentucky Derby with Drake. You saw all those weird hats. Things get crazy over there. I told you I was Drake's fault. Y'all think I'm just Drake hating. Drake made people think they could just jump in R&B whenever they want to.

Yo, and I hit Jack when the album came out. I had seen nothing. It was like 9 a.m. I'm like, yo, new album sounds good, bro. You want to come up? I didn't know what was going on. Do you like how the album sounds? Well, I just literally thrown on.

I'm trying to be a decent, you know. I thought the sounds of it were cool. I didn't like the vocals. I didn't enjoy the vocals. I didn't enjoy the boat. I didn't think they were like God awful, but like if you, but to your point, if you're going to mess around with something like this, you can't mess around. No. And I did think I was like, I just kept thinking about DiAngelo.

I'm like, you know, like the old, you know the old line, Fat Joe found puns rhyme book. I'm like, oh, Jack Harlow thinks he found DeAngelo's rhyme book. You know what I mean. Do not do that. See what I'm saying? And like that was what the sound kind of gave. So I think your point was mostly fair, you know? And I hope that he, hope that he learns from it.

but the sentiment that I heard wasn't great. Anyways, The original gurus, Laura, at gmail.com. The original gurus at gmail.com. I've been rocking with you since the very beginning. Aloha, original gurus. Hey, are you checking it from Hawaii? That's right.

Been rocking with you guys since the very beginning back when the corporate restraints were still on. Okay. Now that you guys are operating with total freedom, I'm loving the lack of fluff. It's refreshing. I didn't know we had much back in the day, but that just shows you

that most people didn't get our, they didn't hear the show. They only heard Or maybe there was slight fluff We're not thinking about It was built into our Like the hot 97 extra radio accoutrema Well I guess Roda died

Curve that kind of stuff Contests If you're out of town You don't care about And we're bringing these contests back I want to bring back Laura never loses Or Laura never win

This man loves a radio contest We're gonna give someone something And you will get your tickets If we do it though You will get into the show Absolutely I spoke to Cash App last week I'll tell you that

No No Oh, okay, we'll talk about it later. All right, cool. All right, yay. It's refreshing to hear you delivering the truth without the filter. Because of the Hawaii time difference, I'm either catching the live stream when I can't sleep

or catching the replay on YouTube in the evenings. That said, with great freedom comes great responsibility. I don't usually do ultimatums, but I've got to keep it 100. This is not a guru, by the way. I just like to say this was infiltrated into the original gurus. This should have been a fart Friday. This is a fart Friday. If I see Kanye West walk into that studio for an interview,

I'm officially tapping out. Oh, man. Okay. You guys are better than that circus, and I say that with love. If you give him the platform, just know that in the immortal words of Khalid, you played yourself. Let's keep the guestless prestigious, shall we? Prestigious. I mean, I don't know if we'll be able to keep prestige.

Yeah, prestige is tough, but I see what you're saying. How about moral, with moral integrity? Okay. You know, maybe that's what she's saying. We've been mostly great with that, generally speaking. I think we've been great with our integrity. Now, I mean, throughout the lifespan of our collaboration. All right, you guys want, how about this then?

Since that wasn't a real one, we have a follow-up from Fart Friday. All right. Oh, okay. First off, it's a real deal of Fought. To know I influence the now Fart Friday is a cool accomplishment. And not being able to share with my wife because of her booty. It's going all dizzy Gillespie. That inspired it's happened.

Damn. Anyways, to answer some of the questions. The gas issue isn't some unspeakable mystery. I think her embarrassment initially led me to joke about it to protect her feelings. Got it. And in time, my attempts to make her comfortable made it a little too comfortable. As wild as it sounds, five to six times an hour isn't an exaggeration. Even in her sleep, it's popping off most days.

Diet is good, not great. For the most part, she eats pretty clean. When she does eat something out of the ordinary, the gas levels take an uptick. I mean, she doesn't need to go to the hospital after a cassidia, but the diet is pretty good. Okay. Um, we've tried the Bino gas X route, no effect. It was like throwing a glass of hot water on a forest fire. You know, my man, stop.

Her doctor's tried some prescriptions, but because of her long-term conditions, it caused her stomach pains. To answer the small question, she always brings the noise, but not always the funk. Glass half full, I guess. Honestly, you guys are right. I just need to nut up and have a difficult conversation. Our 20 years, we've been through some ish. So some farts should be easy, right? Wish me luck.

P.S. Laura, I got tracking on my t-shirt about a week ago, and it hasn't updated since. Stop farting around with the shipping. Q Rimshot. Appreciate you guys. I keep telling you, you have to email us. ELR merch at Gmail. Send an order number.

Yeah. So we can track it. Everyone should be pretty good. So send your emails to the original gurus at gmail.com. No questions today. Just to follow up from Fart Friday. I was moving around. People were very amused,

concern, opinionated about that. I appreciate the fart follow up. You know what I mean? That's good. I do hear him say, though. Diet is. is good, not great. Yeah, like, what if it could be great?

Outstanding. Because that could control the funk. Well, he said the funk, she brings the noise mostly, not the funk. But I think the noise is also a turn. Yeah, but that's why I mean, let's get to great. If you really love me. If you really love me. I mean, what were y'all vows?

Go through your vows again. Well, but in sickness and in health, in farts and in silence. There you go. But, you know, she's got to do some work, too. You still got to try. She needs to hide a couple of those. You know what if there's just one food? You don't know.

What if there's just one food that's like really doing it? And it's in her diet all the time. That's right. Could be like a could even be a vegetable. Could be something you think you're being healthy with. Yeah. Like you know. I know y'all not out here eating cauliflower and broccoli.

Brutley. Brussels sprouts? You better not. Please. Beans. I mean, you just got to be careful. Yeah.

Beans, beans, the magical fruit. Oh, man. I mean, hopefully, but, you know. Also note to self. We can talk about it later this week. maybe for family matters. Remind me to not randomly try drinking a weed soda

before my parents come over. You're such a dork. Why would you do that? Hold on. Oh, look. Gurus are over. Why would you do that? You plagued yourself. I went to the weed store.

We have a, in what is our neighborhood for two more weeks. Okay. One upside is we do have a nice little weed store. I popped in. Yeah, those weed stores are dope, by the way. They always look so fancy and cool. Anyways, behind the counter, they have these drinks.

And I have a friend at one of my other jobs who swears by the weed drinks. He stopped drinking alcohol together. And he's like, well, when I want to have like a little relaxing, I sip these. And if you sip it, you just sip it, you're not going to feel anything crazy. It's like having a drink. Okay.

And my parents were coming over. They got to town. They were coming over a couple hours later. I popped a drink. Uh-huh. Did you sip it? No. No, I didn't.

You drank the whole thing. I drank it in like five, six minutes. Congratulations. Five six minutes. Peter. Felt nothing. Walked around, made some phone calls. doing my thing, handling the baby.

45 minutes later. My parents walk in. I was like, oh my God, I did it again. I was on some Brittany. Oops, I did it again. You start dancing in a circle with knives and a miniskirt. I know. This is why I pass on grass.

I never want to feel paranoid. So I basically, that was the last time I've done anything related to weed in months and months, if not over a year. And I was like, I'm here again. I'm here. You know how paranoid you? You start noticing everything everyone's saying like every I well you're already paranoid and you're already hyper concerned about what everybody's saying you don't combo have you have you ever got when was

last time you bro you got like stupidly whoops I don't want to be this way high has it happened in years I can't remember really not even in the edible like like era I mean yeah like I have but I don't know long it's been a long time is you too Laura same I mean I just always go back to when me You got stone at that club one time And we were freaking out of my God I forgot you were with me for one of the worst of all time Yeah That's top five

That's top five When I took y'all to where were we at That was the Amber Rose event Over in Pat It was a club in Newark No it wasn't Newark It was Elizabeth It was Elizabeth

And stupid as Juanito gave us A weed brownie And I remember asking him Like it was a strong No bro That's not what happened That's not what happened That's not what happened

What Juanito had some edibles And I told all of y'all Yo, be easy, only eat a little bit. I don't remember that. Because I ate it also and was chilling. And I was like, how much you, y'all? I don't know. Meanwhile, fat-ass Rosenberg and Laura's snacks were like yum, yum, yum.

He gave us a big chunk. We're like, um, taste good. Which, by the way, that's happened to me multiple. I have like a Mount Rushmore of worst weed experiences. This one this weekend was not on it at all. It was just, I'm at home with my family. It wasn't that. Well, you didn't want to be that high.

That's all. And my problem is I start noticing things about the people I'm around. And the things I'm noticing aren't inaccurate. They're just super hyper. I was with a friend once years ago, and I do not take bong hits. This is like 10 years ago. I'm out. I took bong rips with this guy.

I'm not a bong rip kind of dude, bro. Not my thing. I don't even realize at the time what a true bong hit will do. Ebro, don't let Ebro's coolness. I know he is a, you had to be a bong rip guy in Califaca. Back of the day. I had a six foot stainless steel bong. We would put in the freezer and get it cold.

No, listen. Ah, it was great. You know, I knew how to make emergency bongs with an apple. With an apple. But that's low key. Cocaine, apple. That's really, I could take a tissue paper roll. I can do whatever.

Come on. Stop. No one. The gum aluminum wrapper. But that's more like a bowl in the end than a ball. Give me a piece of aluminum foil and a tissue wrapper. This was a real, but this was a real. Yo, I sat there afterwards.

And I looked at my friend, who I am still friends with this day. And in that moment, I was like, I hate you. I don't want to be near you. Everything you're saying, there's something wrong with you. You're bad. You're the war. Nothing, nothing happened. There was nothing.

My, I get paranoid. You get paranoid to the point of like, anyways. So be careful with that weed drink, y'all. Because apparently if you drink it fast, it's just like an edible. Oh, man. Consuming THC full stop in doses that you're not. comfortable with is going to put you in a place that you're not comfortable with. How about that?

It was a sativa. Was it some kind of high? You got to know these things. The rule of thumb. The rule of thumb is literally the rule of thumb. You take a piece, the top tip of your thumb. You eat it and you wait for 40, 20 to 45 minutes. So how much should I have sipped before I even?

One sip. One sip you would have to wait? Yes. Because I don't know. I'd have to see the can to see how much tea is. It was 10, it was 10 milligrams. That's that's yeah, so you probably could have did more than one sip, but a few sips and waited. Well, no, a few sips would have done you well, put the can away.

Come back. For you, you don't consume. Right. Yeah, you shouldn't. So your receptors are just, you can feel everything. How do you guys feel that you're in business with someone who, let's just be honest, is not bright? Like, this is the decision you've made with your life. I've been thinking about this.

We can do this on Patreon this way. How dumb I am. Well, you know, it's not that you're dumb. It's, it's, you're ignorant to a lot of things. But this one, this one bothers me because you've been here before. I know. So, but then the one thing you're ignorant to is yourself, and that's what bothers me the most. How can you not be aware of it?

Because just, and this is going to be on this week's Patreon. I can't wait. Just last week, you launched a show called, what's it, what's it called? Validate me. Validate me. Yeah. This weekend, you jump on ID. Begging for validation.

Begging for validation from motherfuckers who don't. Oh, excuse my language. Go ahead. From people who just troll. Like, who are these people? No, that video piss me. Norrie? You care what Norrie thinks?

I love Norrie. Don't care what Norrie thinks. He's going to say whatever he needs to say to get in a room. I don't feel that one. I just can't believe. I was like, I looked at your video. It's like, why was this necessary? Well, this is a good Patreon subject.

So annoyed by you. I'm sorry. Yeah. No, listen. God's still working on me. Norry shows up wherever to be happy. I know. To bring Joe.

boy, he walked into a room with people from the Bronx. He was like, this is the most, you're not from New York, Rosenberg. I know. And that's okay. You didn't even do enough to like act like you wanted to be from New York. You're going to keep your team, the commanders. Yeah, I don't think. I'm not a Yankee.

And then be mad that a city full of people who only validate themselves based on the type of clothes they wear and the teams they support are going to tell you where you're from. The part that was misconstrued, we can save it for Patreon is, I wasn't trying to say that I want to be a New Yorker. that I think I'm from New York. But you were trying to get validated. No, you're right. That part, you're correct.

That's all I'm talking about. Well, you started getting into specifics, which makes me want to argue. But you're right. You're right. I'm like, why do you even care? I'll save it for Patreon. I got a couple things to tell you.

Why are you yelling? Because it's annoying. You're annoying. That's what I mean when I decided to do business with somebody who's just annoying. I love you, but I was, I was annoyed. I was going to text you. Yo, let's have Norrie on the program.

I bet you when he comes in here, he says something nice about our program. I know he will. It wasn't about I wasn't mad at Norrie. I was just like why does someone always why can't they compliment someone without saying a oh and finally it's not because because that's their differentiator their competitor is not us and that's okay. They're not competing against us. Right. They're competing against the show that has envy and a bunch of people not from New York. Yeah and that's okay. I you know what I told him? Bro for people who ain't from New York. For people who ain't from New York, We had a great run. I told them. Made a bunch of money. Put a bunch of people on. Made a bunch of people more money.

Had the biggest concerts they've ever seen or will see. We did our thing. And talked to our ish. That's the things of me that I'm like, why are you? It's inherently New York to do what we did. You don't have to be a New Yorker to represent New York property. You still care. There you go.

There you go. What were you to say, Laura? I was going to say, I told them. I said, why don't you just be quiet and let our New York fans do the defending and arguing? Just let them handle it Because you know what, they do a great job I'm sorry The EL Army is fire on fire

And they step in when they need to You guys, listen, I blew it I'll see you guys on Patreon this week I'm looking forward to this therapy session Bye Listen, I really got yelled at that Yeah, because you're playing yourself, man And you're making us look bad
