Just don't call it a podcast. The Ebro-Lora Rosenberg show. Let's go, man. Let's get it cracking. As we get closer to the weekend, it's Ebro and Laura and Rosenberg. And we are the E-L-R show. I'm like, Y, L-R-R. Yo, do you guys think, yo, chat, do we need like an intro where I go,

that's Laura? And then she goes, that's Peter. And then you go, that's E-BRO. And I go, we're the E-Bro-L-R-R-R. Rosenberg show and we do it all in unison. Nope. I'm here to respond on behalf of the chat. I know we're not always in lockstep chat, but I think we're in lockstep on this. I think they might want it.

It feels very, um, K-poppish. Yeah, no, I think it would be like, it would just be this though, it would be you go, I'm Ebro and I'm Laura and I'm Rosenberg. And then together we go and we're the ELR show. That's it. But not all the names. No.

But I think, like I'm Beyonce. I'm Latavia. I'm Latoya. I'm Kelly. And we're Destiny's child. That's right. Playing the hits with our boy PMD. But Kelly don't like you. So I don't play that.

I have the drop though. But Beyonce was the main voice on the drop that I have. And what's that? They didn't say all their names. They just went, What's up? In unison. What's up?

We're Destiny's Child. And then Beyonce jumps and he goes, paying the bills with our boy PMD from Dust Till Dawn. Peter from Maryland. PMD. Or maybe Kelly says that part. Then Beyonce's like, keep it locked. Yeah.

What's going on with your relationship? relationship with Kelly Rowland. We have not spoken. Okay, have you reached out? I did at the time. I sent multiple apologies through the angles I had, which was nothing, DM or whatever. And that's it.

Then I moved on my life. Do you maintain in the Kelly Rowland debacle with Rosenberg? Yeah. This is really a throwback. No, it is. Oh, yeah, it would cause people maybe to go do some research. Do you maintain that? You don't have to do that.

Do you maintain that? The question was asked badly, but the premise was fine. and then it was exacerbated by social media. Yes. It was a clumsy question that I'm embarrassed to say. I think I probably even asked previously. Like I probably had asked her a version of it before.

That's the part I realized. I think I probably had said something similar before and she might have already found her knowing once. And then it's like years past. I forget. And I know you've done this too. Doing all the time. Seven years later you're doing an interview again.

You know what it would be interesting. You're like, well, I've already asked you this. And they remember like, What if you've asked me. I'm sure it happens every interview I do. Yeah, no. You're, Ebro's just hoping to get the person's name right.

But, um, Yep. So it was, it was a clumsy bad question by me. We were totally cool after it happened. Totally cool. Like chatty. Because she's a professional,

but deep down inside she could have been similar. Chatty and friendly. Because I, listen, I'm not an idiot. A lot of the comments were like, you know, Kelly Roland was reading Rosenberg and he didn't even know. I'm like,

I knew. I was kind of like, oh. And then we were really cool. And then when social media made it a thing, I think she just, you know, obviously accepted the praise that people were giving her. Right, right, right, right. And it ended up just being like a dump on Rosenberg Fest.

But those happened. And all you can do is say, sorry, keep it moving. Yeah. Now, there's going to be a lot on Rosenberg today. What? Why? Because Laura, he feels vindicated, this guy. This is dumb.

I didn't say I feel vindicated. I can't. I'm even annoyed that we're still talking about this, but go ahead. It's only been a week. Still. Yeah, Laura, we got to have our new. Also, I want a little bit of credit. I want a little bit of credit. I actually had a W-W-E-D-D.

Wait, hang on, right. W-W-E-D-D. Say it again, W-W-D-D. E-D. What would Ebro? D-D-D-D-O-D-D. What's your last name? Oh, what would E-BROD-Darden do?

I didn't think of the darnman. You are a word I'm not allowed to use. No, go ahead. I'm not allowed to. An idiot. No, okay, there you go. I don't want to say moron and send dog. Wait, wait, wait. You don't want to do name calling? No name calling. So I go ahead. And by that I mean, I wasn't really ever that

upset by the whole thing. I thought it was a good conversation as we're building a new thing. Let's ask my guy right. Listen, that's why he makes the big bucks right. Nobody really came up. No, but I made it a whole thing. And I didn't even want to make it about anyone else. I switch the conversation for me anything about over there to about

me and being a New Yorker in that conversation. So, but the Rosenthal's, the great, it's the real guys. Eric and Jeff was popping. Two Jews, three black dudes. They asked by the way, because they're from New York. They are from New York. They have a live show coming up soon. They're like, yo, could we come by? Absolutely. I was like 100%. You're going to have to bring chairs

and microphones for you guys and the locks. Wait, how many people is five people? That's a lot. Oh, we can't host five. I said not yet. But soon, we'll figure out. We got plans. No, no, no, no. So chat, subscribers, everybody, what we'll do is we'll have all of them on two microphones, five people on one side of the road. And then we're all together.

And then we're over here. It's not a great look. But let's try it anyway. Let's see what it was, you know what I mean? Push the studio to the limit. We could also do like a couple of them in person, a couple people on TV. Yeah. Anyways, they hit me up.

Shouts to those guys. Oh, the podcast is great. And they said, oh, Joe Budden and Mark Lamont Hill were defending you today in your conversation. Defending you Rosenberg. Yeah. Let's hear it. Just got exiled from here. And now you just took the slot over.

And now you're sitting here saying, oh, it feels good to hear New York again. So what you're trying to say was in New York when I was here? You've been in New York in the time frame. It's still a dig, yo. I'm sorry. It's still a dig. I'm not how you look at it. Even if it wasn't intended, that's a dig.

It's not your first time in New York in 15 years. So you're speaking to the times you've been in New York and it ain't sound like New York. Go ahead. Does this conversation happen if Rosenberg's so that high? No. And I don't, obviously, in the sense of like if he had said, like I wish New York Radio sounded like New.

In other words, does Rosemary ignore this if they're not repositioning for the new, with the new gig and, you know, with the new platform and all this stuff, that don't what I like. You know, is also like how much to seize this moment. Was it an overreaction for the moment? I don't think so. I have a question. I think he took it as a dig and was right.

What did we say when they? No, Mark is correct. I was doing it because of the new gig I was doing Mark knows me well It was promo Appeared to be hiring a bunch of people From out of town to replace

Rosenberg in the radio show What was the general consensus By the New York media We ain't seen them to Atlanta Comedians Where they were from? We didn't see in Atlanta Now they all like Saturday

Do you you know this real quick That there's a lot of Now that Ebro and them was off the radio A lot of people are like shitting on them a little bit Yeah it wasn't shit on them before when it was, I mean, I've seen it, but it's a lot more now. That's pretty flip.

They were gatekeepers and stuff. They were gatekeepers and stuff like that. I don't know. You guys know the logistics and ends and hours of the radio. I just, it's kind of they're all doing great. So I it's corny to try to shit on them while. Ebro, I like the changes you make into your show in real

time. I like the set. I like the graphics. I like the topics. I like what you got going on. It's a great show. Yeah, yeah. Shout out to Ebro, Peter. And, and and Laura. Oh, so let. Told you guys, never have,

you never doubted me. I knew you never doubted me. God. No, shout to, Joe and squad. Yeah. It was good stuff.

Especially Mark Lamon Hill. Mark always holds it down. He's so supportive of us. And I got to say for Queens flip, too, yeah, no, people was tight. Listen, man, everybody wants their song to get played.

People never liked me. in that position from the day I walked in the door it from MD you mean from music director the program director the VP of programming there was always a he ain't from new york well and then and then and by the way this is how ridiculous it is as if it didn't behoove me to do what's best for the audience tuned in so the ratings could be great yeah but you know that's not how people view those things no but that's because they're idiots no what that's not sure no no no no no Because historically radio does annoying stuff sometimes, plays one record a million times. Well, no, no, no, no, for sure all of those things.

But no, but I'm just talking about making sure that the listeners tune in. If what we were doing at Hot wasn't great for all those years, I would have been out the door way faster. Bro, anytime anybody asked me that I always say this, let's picture this, right? You're in your car. You listen to your favorite song, you're jamming. And then something comes on that you don't know. What are you going to do? Change the station.

Hello. So it's always hard. That's why it's a gamble. But the funny part is this is... And you're just speaking to new music. I'm talking about just embracing the city and doing... All those things. And playing the records that the city is out in the clubs, partying to...

See, because the music community, right? Rappers actually think that radio stations and DJs are in business to support them and their interests. Right. You're supposed... They will say that. Like, yo, you're in... Yo, but you're hot 97. You're supposed to blah, blah, blah.

It's like, no, they're supposed to make money. Sales is supposed to deliver an advertising. Hello. We're in business to get ratings and sell advertising. And then you have Rosenberg who dedicated a complete show to it. That none of y'all supported. Not really. That was the crazy thing.

It's like I kind of get you guys hating Ebro because he was the boss and seen as the gatekeeper. Yeah. The me part, not you just, it's just people saying they don't like how I look and sound in my name. Because I never. Or I had an opinion you heard one day that you disagreed with. No, you're white. and you shouldn't even have an opinion on black music or black artists or in black spaces. Well, and a lot of people don't remember this, you know, and I'll give Euro credit for it too

for discovering me in Washington. Before me, respectfully, there wasn't another me. There wasn't another like, and in fact, even to this day, there's not a lot of super, like, white guy who does hip-hop stuff and not only plays the records quietly, but is like, no, I have really strong opinions about it. And sometimes they're going to annoy people, but sometimes they're really informed and kind of useful. That didn't exist.

It was a stretch Armstrong as a DJ. He didn't talk like that. Not a talker. Bobby Conders, not a talker, not opinionated. And then the guys that- Legends, absolutely legends, but by the way. But by the way, and this is a challenge to all of y'all out there.

The white guys that y'all watch the most, spend the most time with and talk about the most, they embraced the most. the most lowest common denominator garbage of the culture. Correct. But y'all cool with them. But the guy who wants to embrace

intelligence, lyricism, craftsmanship, artistry, you got a problem with him. The guy who's most known for championing Kendrick Lamar from the very beginning. The first championed, of Kendrick Lamar on a big state. See, but this is where you go too far.

I'd already, I'd already big you up. Now you're right. Sorry. Thank you. No, you're right. This is why. No, you did good. That was,

that's enough. But it's true. They all, they just don't know. They love to regurgitate talking points that the internet does. Like the same ish with Ebro. Program director, mind you, hasn't been there in a decade in those seats, right?

The same thing, you don't, what pisses me off the most, you guys have never done anything for our community. What? We're vultures. All we're doing this. What? Eating.

We're eating. We're just... We're just... Ebro brought A.C.'s. Bought A.C.s with his own money for New York City listeners when our own damn station wouldn't. God forbid you win one now. You might not get it.

Now when I say it might, I mean, definitely. Well, I think the other piece is more an indictment of who... And by the way, this is all of us who we are culturally. That we are always consumed. The music we like. The stuff we like to watch. A lot of it is... garbage. The food we eat.

We consume a lot of garbage. We do. And when you try to force feed people some vegetables, you're not the most popular person. You're not. Aidan Ross is the most popular. Aidan Ross is like the most influential white dude to ever sort of quote unquote be near hip-hop, because he's not a hip-hop head, but who uses hip-hop for his game. Is as hot as can be. No knowledge, no love, no care, no interest in any of it, just a means to an end to get rich. And y'all want to talk about it all day long. Shouts to Rory, by the way, who I didn't mention this conversation.

But Rory, of course, who I love, who has respect for the culture and treats me like an OG. Like he understands so I came along. The nuances of it. Yeah, shout to Rory Moll. Yeah, Rory Moll. We're talking about you this week, too. Well, yeah, because I, uh... What'd you do?

What happened? So I get fed up sometimes. Yeah, we see that. And... A piece of paper on the wall, you don't mind. You know what? Let's just watch the clip. Okay.

Of you, Ebro. This might be one of the wildest clips off. seen this month. Some of y'all don't deserve a fucking opinion because you haven't been doing this professionally consuming playing. Jim Apple, my see. And critiquing hip hop as your life. You're just a fan. I think that people talk with a certain level of certainty that don't have no idea what the fuck they're talking about. And in that regard, I got to agree with him because I'm a rap. I've been on the road. I'm a songwriter. I'm friends with these artists. I know what happened in the studio, why this song didn't come out, et cetera.

You have people that respectfully, you work at FedEx, you go get your hair cut in a barbershop, and you talk with this level of certainty about things you have no idea about. Most people are driving their kids to school, going to and from work, and are there to just listen to the music and have every right to critique the entire thing. Oh, for sure. I'm not saying Ebro was wrong. It was just in the way he said it was such entitlement where he doesn't realize we are the least important part of this entire process.

We as in who? The critiquers, the media people, the commenters that are on these microphones. We are the least important out of this whole process. Matter of fact, Ebro was more important when he was a program director and was able to play certain records for artists. The two most important people in this group

is the artist number one and then the consumer. That's listening to it and buying it. Because a lot of times people in front of microphones will start listening to records they'd never listen to. They're only doing it to critique. They're not a consumer. Well, and shout to Rory on that because the fans are important and the artists are important. I agree with them that they're the most important. They are the most important.

In a world, and I'm just put this out there, in a world where there are a hundred and something thousand songs coming out every day. Yeah, uploaded every day in the streamers. Those of us who are talking about music are helping the people who don't have time to find it, find it. But on that point, if all I was doing was critiquing songs and talking about it, There is a part of that conversation for better or for worse that is helping the audience watching right now go, let me go listen for myself. I never even heard that was out.

Oh, hey, what are they talking about? So not as important as the artist. Not as important as the fan. You're justified more than you even need to, though. Because your point remains regardless. The main point you made was that people speak with a matter of certainty that they need to hear my voice. And they never played records.

They never showed any more involvement than being kind of a casual. You just use the mean word. You were like, would you say, oh, I say, you're a cut. Well, they're the real full clip. I was like, yeah, a fucking customer. By the way, that was hard for Apple. You were kind of hard for Apple. I kind of go ahead.

You guys should watch Rap Live review. Well, I watch much. Listen, you've definitely gotten spicier, though, because it was, you are. No, I have my days. I have my days. I just like to say. I just like to say what my wife and manager say to me in this era that I'm currently living in. Chill, bro.

Well, let's keep everything copacetic right now. Guys, I got news for you. Keep it clip. If I'm doing that on music, we're in a good space. Facts. That's just about music. Right. That's all you talk about there is music.

But your point is still correct. I don't, and I think Rory knows that. It was a good provocative conversation, but the fact is everyone has a right to an opinion. But like, listen, we're not different than any other people who love music except for the fact that we worked our asses off and made music our life in order to get to a point where we can have an opportunity to speak into a microphone and share our opinions. that required work and commitment and loved. And now you could literally be like, hey, have you heard this new album? Oh, that's pretty cool.

Let me tell the whole world about my opinion. That's not the same thing. Not all voices are the exact same. I think also, and you guys know this, most people also don't know that some of my lifelong friends are some of the most well, you know, well regarded and well-renowned songwriters and producers in the hip-hop and our members.

space of all time. Yeah, I don't think people know that. People don't know that. So I've been in these rooms. I know how the records get made. I know what sound, what vibrations, what frequencies go with what. It's just not my profession. I don't, that's not what I pursued, but I know how it happens, some of the greatest, right? And that's why I have relationships with these people because they know I speak from a place of really knowing not just what the charts are, right? But how the actual record got made from the musicians to the songwriting to the mixing to the engineering, right? Like they know, and I've had these conversations privately with them, but those conversations aren't what I have in public. So most of my conversations are critiquing, gossipy, arguing about

today's topics. Right. Well, because that's not what your show is. You could host a show if you want to do. It's really nerdy about like music making with artists. But also, another piece of that combo that I want to make sure people understand is that was about hip hop classic albums so that was extrapolated from a larger combo about hip hop classic albums because of the drake combo right and the reason that was happening and I said that in the drake combo was specifically for a lot of fans out there once again we've been covering this for multiple weeks who are just fans of an artist you're not fans of the culture you haven't really been studying hip hop you haven't really been listening to it that long. You don't have a macro view or kind of like a historical

understanding of the ends and outs of why certain things happen or whatever. By the way, fine as a fan, but when we start talking about classic hip-hop albums, those things were determined by journalists, DJs, producers, other MCs, executives at labels. There wasn't social media when we all said Illmatic was a classic album that wasn't like a collective decision amongst people commenting or that was done by people who

are actually in this. And what got the conversation going was Ms. Info's five mic reading. A journalist. A journalist. Well, who worked hard to get that opportunity to write about it. And back to that, to put a bow on it, the Drake music conversation is where this started.

And that was one thing I saw in the comments is they were like, you guys just don't know. Drake's classic is blank and then the next person said Drake's classic is blank I'm like not y'all are still missing it you don't know what what is y'all saying if there's no way it's in the lexicon as a certified classic if his fan base can agree for sure on what that classic is these records we're talking about they're not all my favorite albums but the culture decided overall yes these are consistent then there are other ones right like for example I could me and Ebro might agree I might

tell you, yo, Diamond D's, stunts, and hip hop is a classic. Yeah. And it is to me. It's to me also. But I don't. I wish I could play Day in the Life of Three Black Men Run. Oh, man. But I don't know that it's in the lexicon as agreed upon by everyone because it was a niche

album for a certain kind of fan. But there are some records that just go beyond that. Your low end theories, your midnight marauders, your equeminized. They're just there. So now you understand why I was talking greasy. Yes. It knows. Well deserved.

I supported the greasiness. Because if you just look at that clip, you think I'm just lambasting fans of hip hop. No, this was about deciding what hip hop classics were. Is it, I think it's lamb-based. And I always say lamb-bast. I'm pretty sure it's lamb-based. It is? Lamb-based?

Because you baste the lamb? You based the lamb? I don't know, but like basing like a, I think it could be. Oh, wow. But Laura, I remind, real quick. Congratulations. I played myself. I forgot, I forgot to mention this to you guys.

It's going to mess you guys up. When you do the rundown, I have a lowdown. I have a lowdown story. A story of criminality. Okay. Related to my own world. That's when I read y'all this story, it's cool. Is it breaking news?

Because you know I have a new breaking news thing. I'm really excited to bless. Let's hear it. But don't do it yet. Groovy, old school TV. You don't like that? I've got breaking news, folks. That's good.

I like it. It's like a little bit of a bop. It's like I kind of am like, who has breaking news to you? Well, do you, do your tease again. Do your tease again. Tell us with it. Coming up in the lowdown, Peter Rosenberg gets into a story of criminality,

mischief, and outright negligence that harmed many. A price is being paid. You'll find out by who and for how long in the lowdown. I know if that's what you need to close. I was looking for now. I was trying to figure that's all I had. Hard? Sounds good to me.

Those shimes come through. We're closed. Don't play with those shimes. You know what I mean? Ladies and gentlemen, we need the EL Army to activate today. Just Thrive has landed on the E. Roara Rosenberg show. Just Thrive probiotics.

Most products never make it to your gut alive. And that's why they don't work. Now, Laura, talk to them about these probiotics. Let me tell you, change my life. You know, my stomach's always been all over the place. The girl makes fun of me constantly. Rosenberg, you're a bit nice. Yeah, but it is annoying.

But it's a thing. And when I started taking probiotics, boom, I felt like everything was balanced in there. So I got some questions. Okay. Yeah, bubble guts often? No. Yes?

Sometimes. Bubble guts. Bubble guts. Bubble guts. Sometimes. All right. Or indigestion, like burping in this business, like acid reflux. General queasiness.

Everything is a some, sometimes, sometimes. But I'm just telling you that it all changed when I started taking probiotics. And you know what I love about Just Thrive? There's a lot of people who can't take pills. So they have gummies. That's right. Boom. How about this?

Light still flashing, we don't slow up. All right, well, this got a little messy, guys. So a couple days ago, you know, in the, it is what it is podcast with Cameron and Mace. Okay. There was an episode where Shine was a guest. And I started talking about a love triangle that they once had back in the day.

Mace and Shine that they didn't know they were dating the same person. But check this out. Said off. Yeah. What happened with Brandy and everything? Man. Let's just do it. Listen, let's do it. Who's dealing with Brandy?

Okay, let me switch my glass. You know what happened? You know what happened? You was dating Brandi at one time? Or y'all was just, how'd they go? I was special, you know? He came. He came in and wanted to be special.

So I had to let him be special. I mean, you know, no lie's told. He was Shaq. Okay. He was the champion. He was the MVP. I was Kobe, no pun intended, because they said Kobe was a special friend of Brandy's as well. Right.

But no pun intended. But I was coming out of high school on a championship team. And he was the superstar of the team. But I definitely did want to be special. I definitely, you know, but I had no idea. So what happened is we had a mutual friend who was a snitch. Okay. So I'm not, I think he know who it is.

Right. I'm not gonna expose him. But so I was so excited because this is my dream person. Right. I'm talking about Brandy. Brandy. Right. Poor kid, Brooklyn, watching MTV, watching Moesha,

watching her on BET. And, you know, as a dream, I'm like, man, if I ever, if she was the no shot, I got that. Right. So when I came up, she was in the cross ears. Like, you know, I was sniping. And yeah, I had no idea, though, because he was, he was special. So he was running that playbook so discreetly, so quietly,

I had no idea. Yeah, he's sneaky. Yeah, so he was an ultra sniper, but I was so excited. So I kept telling one of our mutual friends, and he was snitching me out. And then so Brandy was like, yo, who you told you here? Oh, man. They all day. Yeah, no.

The good old story. Chat, chat, chat. Chatty chat. They're telling the good old story. Brandy was sitting around minding her business yesterday. And all of a sudden, chitty chat. Chat, chat, chat. But that was interesting.

All this chitty chat from 1998. All of a sudden reset. Well, listen, Mesa was sitting on top of the world. You know what I'm saying? Don't ever forget. Mace was popping. Shian had his moment. He didn't know.

Listen, but by the way, that story right there, it's interesting because it's the music business, right? It's entertaining. There's a thousand people watching right now that have, like, you know, met a girl or something and found out that they was dating the homie or something. Or used to date the homie or whatever. You didn't even catch my reference, though, did you? Well.

What was it again? Tell me? Mace was sitting on top of the world He was on it We got it He did get it He was on the record He was on the song

So, Ray, Jay. Yo, Ray J. We need to have Ray J on the show. No. What? You sure? Chat. Should we have Ray J on the show?

Because I got to ask him about the eyes bleeding. We're going to talk about it multiple times trolling. Now he's doing this whole skit. We might have to just have motion. I just want to know how you went from. Y'all look like the three stooges. So you need to pull your skirts up. Well, I don't know why he's been a time on that.

It doesn't make any sense. And I don't know why he's grabbing himself on the camera. Does he know who the three stooges or? I don't know why he's grabbing himself in a little. camera like that as if he's going to sexually assault someone that's what the whole thing was a set up for sexual assault yeah and i don't even know why he was doing that i don't know what i that's why i said i need to have more i don't know what is happening by the way raja needs to chill he just i would chill i really don't know what is happening no no chill or not chill

but why i would say chill why are you threatening sexual assault and on camp and and i don't want to do it their names are killer and murder folks don't do it i know but i would want to know why how you got to sexual assault and pulling up skirts So yeah, that's where we're at right now, guys. I, by the way, I can't describe what Shine's vibe is to me. Like, I love aging Shine, like politician, Jewish, older Shine. He, like, I love the vibe. I can't quite pinpoint what it is.

It's like, well, he's going to come on the show. We're having Shine on the show. Shines on the show. He's doing it because he's doing an anniversary show. Is it 20 years? 20 years. First album at King's Theater. Yeah.

All right. I look forward to it. So he'll be on the show. So you're going to ask it. I look forward to this. Now, Rosenberg, you got a lowdown also. I got a lowdown, folks. I hadn't mentioned this to you, but...

It's time for the lowdown with Laura Stey. This came out earlier this week. Owners and CEO of wholesale pharmaceutical company sentenced for distributing more than $92 million of black market HIV drugs. drugs. I just want you guys to think about how bad this is. Okay, say it again. You're going to hear it.

You're going to hear it. Okay. Two owners of a pharmaceutical wholesale company were sentenced Friday to a total of 38 years in prison for orchestrating a complex nationwide drug diversion scheme that harmed vulnerable HIV positive patients, placed countless others at risk and corrupted the supply chain for prescription drugs. in the United States. Patrick and Charles Boyd, Charlie, did not just commit fraud and cost taxpayers millions of

dollars. They preyed upon some of the most vulnerable members of our society. HIV patients who depend on life-saving treatments to manage their disease. That's Assistant Attorney General A. Tyson Dova of the Justice Department's criminal division. Fraud schemes like this undermine the integrity of our supply charge. for necessary prescription drugs. Guys, they were taking fake drugs, wrong drugs, and expired drugs,

repurposing them as HIV drugs, and selling them to pharmacies to the tune of $92 million. And I went to high school with both these MFers, partied at their house. It says Patrick and Charles of Easton, Maryland. They ain't from East and Maryland. They are from Montgomery County.

Disgusting. You know, this affects babies to full adults. They are, yo, and here's, it gave me insight. So you went to school with some crimin and now. So it gave me insight about who comes this kind of person. Because Pat, you know them from young. Yeah, and Pat and Charlie were both. It's very, I want to see if I can get you guys to understand this,

but I don't, not sure I can convey it well. You ever have anyone you partied with in high school that you had like good moments with them? And because they were popular and because they were on the football team and they party with everybody, a lot of people knew them. You go to a party at their house, but on like a deeper level, you just didn't F with them. Like they were in, they were around. There was no way. They were around.

And I've been to their house on multiple occasions. And they, now they've been to my, well, not Charlie, but Pat's definitely been to my house a couple of times. And we had twins as them? No, they were three years apart, actually, because Charlie was two years younger than me and Pat's a year older than me. Pat dated one of my close friends when she broke up with my best friend, one of my best best friends. And we were all like, oh, God, you're dating him like, he's fine, but he's a douche. Like, what are you doing? They were always, they weren't rich, but they were those white boys who had like, you know, black friends on the football team.

but then I'd hear them being racist around other people. But the black kids come to their house and party, but then I'd see them being racist with their white boyfriends. You know what I mean? Like they were that kind of people. Neither of them the sharpest tool in the shed ever. Neither of them got good grades. Neither of them were particularly smart.

It's just fascinating that they would go on to be this level of criminal. Like, this is some of the worst criminal-ish I've ever heard of. What's more immoral than this? I mean, immoral maybe, but not the worst criminal issue you ever heard of. I mean, hell. It's on the level. They're on the level, though. These kind of people end up in the current administration, right?

Like, this is on the level. This got a lot of people killed, I'm sure. I'm sure people died. If not, like, at that moment where they couldn't be charged with murder, but it could have led to other health complications. One person alleged in the article, one person testified, I should say, that because of being on the wrong drug, they were trying to get HIV medicine,

and instead they were on some sort of psychotropic drug. Oh, no. And ended up completely unconscious for, 24 hours. Like they were giving people the wrong drugs who were sick, man. Yes. Like HIV is now an illness that thank God you can live with. You can live

with if you're on the right medicine and they were mess. Well, also too you got a fat, yeah, it's low. It's degenerate behavior. And it's terrible. It's very bad. You know anyone who committed worse crime? Like murder? Rape. I don't know anybody

committed rape, but murder. You know murder. You know, murder. know a murder. Yes. For sure. I don't know this. I need to know the murder story. This could be worse because this is indiscriminate. I'm just going to let people maybe die. Yeah. Is this worse than selling? It's not personal beef. I'm with you. No, but is this is worse than selling drugs that you know is killing a whole community. It's similar. It's up there, but this is very specific to people who are already suffering. My family, my people in my family were some of America's biggest drug kingpin. Well, listen, that's that's a big drug kingpin. Yes, we're in the same conversation. Not like a random dude street hand to hand. You know what I'm saying? But this. And if you don't believe

me, shout to my family. I love my family. Everybody, but we had a lot of drug dealers. Rudolph Henderson. My dad. You can look them up. Oakland. Like bad stuff. But I mean, he was selling crack in the 80s. Like, you know. No, listen, listen. All bad. It's all really bad. I just, I couldn't, I couldn't believe. And I also recently found it. there's another kid who I went to middle school with. He didn't go to our high school who ended up 20 years after the fact, this guy, Eugene Gleegor, they ended up convicting him 20 years after the fact for killing his ex-girlfriend's mother.

His ex-girlfriend's. So in his 20s, when I already didn't know him, but in his 20s, he murdered his girlfriend's mother. No one knew how the lady was killed. And then 20 years later, evidence came out. And they found, It's just crazy when you found out the people you knew you were kids with.

Guys, everybody knows criminals. I don't care what your tax bracket is. I don't care what neighborhood you live in. I don't care if you think you're living in some elegant suburbia, wherever the hell you are. There's some criminality taking place. For sure. At some level, somewhere. That's like the guy, you know, remember the guy that killed the seven women in Long Island?

You know that story about the beat? What is it? Gilgo Beach. Those trials are about to start here in New York. That's just starting. That's the trials are just. starting right that's how long it takes that's how long it takes get going and you know everybody you know when that happened remember oh it just looked like a normal family

everybody runs i can't believe now your man was murdering people and bearing them in the beach so i'm not you're shocked because you know people who did something crazy it's the level of evil that is well i think it's like if they were with you you know what i'm saying it's the level of people who were already sick you mess with their medicine could that but that wasn't what they were thinking about that's not what they were thinking but that's the problem that's That's the problem. They weren't thinking about it. So what are you through the logic? They were thinking.

We're mixing around some drugs. No, no, no. We're selling things that aren't being sold so that we can make money. Right. They're not thinking at the end, it's going to end up in someone's medicine cabinet. Well, they probably at some point knew that. But at the end of the day, they were like, you know, we got a scam going. You know, there's these expired drugs and things that are just not being used.

We repackage them, bottle them, and we sell them to the pharmacy. You have a button over there. Yeah, this one. Congratulations. My friend was telling me because it's Fed time. It's minimum. It's guaranteed 75%. They're in jail into their 60s.

Guaranteed. There's no get now. And whatever money they made, they got to pay it back. You're not keeping the money from them. Some people can try to stash some money, that's the play, right? They're going to try to stash some money with somebody. A couple million over here, a couple million over there, gifted to somebody. Somebody stashed somewhere and wherever.

And just wait. Invested by an asset, do something. When they start really investigating anyone who took the drug from that pharmacy, that received it from this person who potentially died. Could have been affected by it's a good call. You know what I mean? All of that's going to start coming out. Crazy.

Super Chat was popping. You know what I'm saying? And also to everybody out there watching this, make sure you hit the hype button. After the show's over, if you're watching this later on, whenever you're tuned in, hit the hype button.

King Louis says it does nothing. But I know we were on some sort of chart because y'all hit the hype button so much. So that's something. Now, Ebro, I always, want to make sure we don't get through today without you playing some of the Trump clips we haven't gotten to this week. Do we have those, Rassan? With Trump.

Uh, talking Cuba and Trump talking about some dude who had some turmoil, some senator who was about to die. Let's see. You want to do Cuba first? I don't, I don't know if Rassan has him. Oh, I thought you had it on the sheet. No, I don't know if he's on the sheet. I said I would like to do it, but nobody, nothing happened after that.

That's why I wasn't going to go. Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you meant it that it was already there. We hadn't got to it yet. I don't think he never got sent over or put on the sheet. So he may not. have it. I know it was put in the chats. Lou put it in the chat. I'll go back and rehash it for you. Well, we don't have that there. Oh, you have, you have,

all right, we have this. How about just Trump being an a hole? Uh, let's go to 14. Evan Newscom has admitted that he is a, that he is learning disabilities. Honestly, I'm all for people with learning disabilities, but not for my president. I don't want, I think a president should not have learning disabilities. Okay. And I know it's highly controversial to say such a horrible thing. The president of the United States, Gavin Newscom, admitted that he has learning disabilities, dyslexia, everything about him is dumb.

You couldn't even hold it. You couldn't even hold it. Everything about him is dumb. Yo, I can't just watch Trump clips all the time and actually take it. I know you enjoy it because it still triggers you sometimes you you want some things I'm only watching for comedy now like I I the people who are out on him and know that he's a bad guy I think most of them are out there's some people still working on that with their parents and all of the stupid I see some podcasters calling their moms their older moms wearing MAGA hats

and they're like telling them the actual news versus what their mom believes and having like these debates fine work on it with your family cool we'll see we'll see we'll see when you get here. But other than that, it's all just comedy and unsuriness, right? Even the proof of life videos with Netanyahu, they're joking about mass murder, bro. Yep. Goofing off about who's getting picked off on the list, who's getting blown up, what's getting blown up. But I just think this is interesting too.

It's just like Trump in an effort to distract and talk about things that don't matter and attack a political opponent. decided to take a dump on everyone with dyslexia and people with learning disabilities? Of course. You, you realize what kind of? No, he said he's off for people with learning disabilities. But you should not be president. But dyslexia should prevent you from being president.

What about dementia? Yo, my man. What about do-doing on yourself? Incontinent. Because dementia, even people with dementia would say, yeah, if you have severe dementia, you probably shouldn't be president of the United States. It's probably not a good idea because you can't keep track of what. going on. Dislexia would have no impact on how you're able to govern people.

And here's my question. Did he get Gavin Newscombe from Nikki? Yeah. So like that's, well, that's his people. At least, at least I, she was the one that I first saw in her tweets. Right. You know, the name calling? I'll tell you one thing about the right and name calling. You have no room to talk about name calling. You, sir, have zero space I call Don the Greca a moron Yo, they love to come up with a name

For the people they hate, though, bro That's all they do It's funny And they know people like it's entertaining It's Newsom But we call him Newscum Get it because of scum But his name's Newsom

New scum I thought it was pretty good Did you? New scum It doesn't even sound like scum Newskam It just changes his name to Newskum I start to begsum

Oh, it's his name Gavsum New scum. Yo, I don't feel any way about it. Yo, Bassum shook his head. He said, no. No, no, don't do that. Don't do that.

I think we got one. Bascom, New scum? Well, no, I'm saying, but Rassan, not like scum. I'm saying scum. Scum, like scum. Like, your last name is Bass scum. It's not Bass scum. You never said that?

Hold on, hold on. You literally used to call him Bascombe. You forgot about that? No, no, I didn't. I didn't know anybody was going to bring it up. I thought I had a... When he was outside, we would call him Bascombag. For sure that happened.

No, he's changed. He's converted. This was before four children and before Islam. Way before Islam. That's how long we known it. Yeah, it was years ago. And by the way, that was last week. No, it was not last week.

How many years ago, basketball 10 years? Over 10. No, he had four kids in a week and became Muslim. No, but real talk. Sidebar. Everybody watching. There was a day. where Rahan walked in and was Muslim.

No, it happened. You were like, what? You're what? He's like, yeah, I converted it up. We were like, wait, you was wasted last week. No, we had never seen anything. I just saw you winding it up, smoking a blunt end. He found the way.

He found the way. Oh, he found a way. Oh, yeah, and he cut his head. That's right. Yeah, can you sound like. Came in with a coofy on and hitting his prayers. No, it was, we never seen anything like it before. We were shot.

It took us a good six months to get a grasp. And yet he said, still and you know he's hanging on because he still loves boss scumbag tv. No, he loves scumbag TV. What, what ratchet show you watching right now? Bad girls Phoenix or something? Oh, he's too busy with the baby. Yeah, they got a new baby in the house.

Congrats again on that, Rassan on the new baby. Yay, Rassan. Hopefully he's not making his wife cooked, though. She better not be cooking. I don't want anybody watching this wondering why Rassan's already back at work and hasn't taken paternity leave. I ain't got nothing to do with it. No, we never seen anything like.

We trained someone else to do it. Train someone, bro, still showed up because y'all is. the chat was bigging up Joe for his camera editing. Is that true? Yeah, absolutely they were. Nah. Lou? They tried to come for Bascom?

No, they were just bigging up Joe. I've been, I know what it feels like, Bascom. But he's in New York. Thanks. Yo, let's get to the gurus. Hey, yo, it's top of the gurus. Rosenberg. It's all right.

You know you are a beautiful queen. Ebro. Don't ever play yourself. You're not a guru. Hey. The original gurus at gmail.com. The original gurus at gmail. Guru.

For the gurus unite. Shine the light. Burn the sagey bro. Zen. Zen. A zen. All right, Rosamore. Who's writing to us?

Who needs our help? Ah, so many people are in need of the gurus helps. Help, that is. Not helps. You send your message to us. At the original gurus at gmail.com. The original gurus. When you said helps, I couldn't help but think of Eric Adams and all he said.

E Bros? Ebrose. And then I couldn't help but giggle that Eric Adams was actually man. It happened. It's crazy. It happened. That was crazy, time. And I still haven't heard back from my daddy this week.

And I can't, in fact, he was in the back of barbershops, string of hency and going to hookah. Like, we stopped and processed this. No, that's crazy. If he had just been, if he just hadn't done like the making the rich richer and like doing all the trap, basically being just a. Republican in sheep's clothing. If he hadn't done that, I really would have enjoyed laughing at how funny he was.

He had a shorthy out and Rockaway. His sidepiece put out a book. Nah, he had a lot, man. He ruined it, though. Could have been fun. But now, we haven't heard from Mom Donnie this way. But it's just like Trump. Mom Daddams.

Trump could be fun if he wasn't out here just committing mass murder and getting us in wars and being ridiculous and having a whole COVID-19 site. That's a complete propaganda. Did you see that? The lab leak. Did I send that? We'll get to that out. It's crazy.

All right. All right. Back to positivity. All right. The original gurus at gmail.com. Ebro, don't ever play yourself. Call of voice. I have a question.

My wife and I have been married for over 10 years and have gone through a million ups and downs. We have three children and through prayer, patience, therapy, and friendship we have found a great understanding. We are finally on the same page. For the most part. She's still the boss, I guess. My question is, we have found villages in the past that help us and provided counsel.

And we found it important to do so for others. But honestly, I am kind of done as there is no magic pill to fix issues. And although we have stress therapy, there's always a reason why they don't or haven't yet. Peter's the only one married legally, I believe, but it doesn't matter. As Lauren Ebro of long-term relationships, do you all have help to, do you all provide help to friends during tough times or stay the F out of it? Wedlocked and loaded. So is he saying he's saying he's not? sick of helping other people. That's what it sounds like. I'm actually doing it to multiple

individuals right now that I've been friends with me. Really? I'm not I'm no one's a one's a husband and wife scenario and they both text me about how much problem you got a button over there. No one needs that. Yeah. Um, so you do so you you counsel people. Yeah, but I'm telling them to get therapy. Your counseling is you should go to someone who could help you with this. Yeah, you should guys need to see a professional. But then also just like on. some being honest with them like um you're holding on the baggage and why you bring it up ohish and if you haven't gotten over the oldish you should go see a professional about getting over the oldish and like managing those triggers and like why are you doing that and you know you're

doing this because of that type stuff you know are you in the I'm kind of like it's 50 50 50 there's some people who I just don't want to get involved with because I know that they're not going to listen so I choose to separate myself and then there's people that yeah if they hit me I will I will talk to them, but I just try to have like a healthy space between us. Do you understand what I'm saying? Because I don't want to be blamed for things. I've been blamed before. I do not want to get blamed.

So I'll just say how I feel, but a lot of times I say you should probably see a professional. So one of my friends screwed up a long time ago, cheating scandal. Yeah. I got the phone call. From? From the wife about the cheating scandal. I didn't know about the scandal. Congratulations.

But I got to call on to like, yo, do you know this lady? I was like, I never seen that lady before in my life. This is years ago, though My buddy who screwed up They have two daughters And I told him I was like, yo, you're gonna have to keep Showing up for these daughters

Whether you like it or not Just keep getting dirt kicked in your face Your lady moved You gotta fly there You gotta do things You're gonna have to take the L bro That's what it is Yeah

Just one last time Congratulations And so that was my advice Now that's coming to kind of an end now Because the kids are getting older And you know Do they stay together? I don't know

what they did, but he kept showing up. I don't know whatever y'all call it. If you live together, if you don't, you're staying over there sometimes. He's staying, I don't know what was going. I wasn't in the weeds. And to Laura's point, wasn't getting in the weeds, because I know both of you are. But you screwed up, for whatever reasons

you screwed up, go get therapy for whatever those reasons were. Yeah, validate me. Coming soon. Nonetheless, y'all got two kids. You, as the dad, you got to keep doing this here. Yep. Well, the other one, I don't told them to break multiple times.

I'm tired of y'all texting me. You know what y'all need to do? Break up. Y'all kids is older anyway. Break up. Stop texting me. I've had enough. Stop, break up.

Yeah, because when me, when you continue doing the same thing, stop bringing up the same, stop texting me, stop calling me about the same thing if you're not going to listen. Multiple times I've told them, you know people break up all the time.

It happens all the time. No, it's, why are you acting like y'all break up? Y'all are in different rooms. Yeah, why is your breakup special? Also, this isn't interesting anymore. Just from, just realistically, you can't keep bringing people the same problem repeatedly. Yeah, it's boring after a while.

That's what your family, your immediate family's there to hear you, like, complain about the same thing forever. That's what you're literally, that is a rare thing where families different than friends. Well, no, I'm not that family. Because you're no, no, that's what I'm saying. No, you're a friend. Your mom, your dad. No, I'm not that family for my family. Well, no, yeah, yeah, I see what you're saying.

I'm kind of with you, bro. No, I hear you, but like with your, with your sibling who's going through something, they may repeat the same bowlish over and over again, but you're literally, sibling and you hear them like that's tough man but even a certain point then you're gonna go but you're a great sibling you're a great sibling because i said didn't you go through this last year or six months well i i've never had that though where it's literally just the repeat of the same of the same of the same like at some point it was i don't know yeah maybe i would say hey bro you're gonna keep tell me the same thing over and over again it's time move on so yeah maybe you're right maybe even

family is not good the point is you're right it's you can't keep boring people with the same issue over and over life's too short And what's the point of Ebro or this person doing the work in their own relationship to have a good time if they have to be dragged into someone else's boy. Yeah, by the way, by the way, had to cuss somebody out about that. Showed up to a thing. We having vibes. Me and my lady having a good time. They want to talk about.

I don't. And y'all, listen, if you guys think I am abrasive on the program, I talk crazy in real life to my friends. We'll be on the phone with friends like, no, nobody want to hear this. I'm getting off the phone. You sound ridiculous. Oh, by the way, you're in my house. I don't want to talk to you about this. Shut up.

You make a choice. It's my house. This is truly your house. Or I'm having a good time. Not interested in your problems. These are people I love and care about. I'm very, very honest with it. I respect it.

And I encourage everybody else to do the same. So we feel you. So, yeah, you could tap out, buddy. You don't have to keep doing this. So say the goobers. How about that? Fire. I just want to say, man.

Congressman Neil Donne of Florida had had some real health challenges, and it was very serious, and had had a pretty grim diagnosis, diagnosis and I mentioned it to the president and I said Congressman Donne is a real champion and a patriot because he's still coming to work and if others got this diagnosis they would be apt to go home and retire what was the diagnosis it was putting all his business out it won't stop he would be dead by June you oh stop and just laughing outro he'd be dead by June yeah you can see the levels of psychosis there's just level
