If you're a podcast host, listen up this one's for you. My name is Ali Jackson. I'm the host of Finding Mr. Haidt, a dating and relationship podcast that I've been doing for four years now, sharing my positive and practical approach to dating that's built on my own life experience. And I wanted to share another experience that I've had, my secret behind monetizing my show. It's called Red Circle. and I was just telling my colleague about how much I love their platform.

That's red circle.com for a free trial. Just don't call it a podcast. Blood and water. You like blood in the water. That's the classic. I don't know if there's any blood in the water anymore.

I actually feel like things have gotten curiously, curiously quiet. Curiously quiet. Well, because I have to assume that people are seeing, A, they didn't expect us to just fire back with a YouTube and a podcast in days. They didn't expect that. Over the holidays, when we were going to be on vacation. They didn't expect that. I think they're seeing the numbers, and they're kind of going, oh, wait, this is a real thing.

And these guys really weren't being maximized in the digital space full stop. because we talked for years about the fact that we would do full shows every day for the radio because that was our you know that's what we were paid to do the bread and butter bread and butter I wasn't really tripping on YouTube like that or a podcast um and I don't think that the uh company that owned us was really able to maximize it they didn't have extra market dollars he's stepping out again he's stepping way out on the limb again you're going there you're going to go out and you're going to go out ahead and say this You don't think they were maximizing us in the digital space?

Hey, yo. Yo, listen, man. Hot take. Yo, my intuition sense. That's crazy that you think that. That's wild. Now, so I think like, you know, interestingly enough for us,

and the opportunity is, you know, a lot of people haven't seen our full content, man. They haven't seen how we do things. I was reading comments yesterday. Yeah. Because we're doing this. This will be our last show of the year, Tuesday, December 30th.

And then we come back in earnest, as they say, on January 5th with the full show. Well, it'll be more like the 7th. Oh, really? You're gone? Oh, you're traveling. Yeah, that's right. I'm gone. Classic.

No, so when Ebro gets back. Well, I had, listen, this was supposed to be vacation time anyway. We decided to work because it was blood in the water. Facts. There's blood in the water. But listen, by the way, we can. can do like we used to do before. Laura and I can jump on the fifth.

It's all good. We're going to make this thing work. But either way, we'll be back after the top of the year. Yeah. This is our last show of this year. But in the comments, the funniest thing is I'm seeing comments from people being like, yo, I just found you all. This is great.

Say word. No, I swear to God. Griff, you've seen these comments? There are people coming in going, yo, man, this show right here. What is this? I'm dead. I'm dead as. I think that they, maybe they were familiar with

who we were from like a very like I remember those guys they used to do interviews I haven't seen them in years but they used to do something they got a whole show now I swear that is the thing like it's going to be interesting because we're going to take our people with us on this journey and I don't even think those people have all found us yet because the schedule it's we're in the middle of the holidays that's right but I think when those people all come with us on the journey yeah then we're going to have these new people who for the first time ever are like following along and knowing that we do a daily show where we talk about more than what was determined to be this should be the social clip for the day and like so yeah full disclosure for the

audience um the former situation that we were in they would only take like and shout to the digital team over there that they had and by team i mean individual um they would only have time to cut up whatever they thought, you know, was topical that day to try to do some algorithm hustling for the day on their YouTube channel. And that wouldn't always be our best content. It would be what did, you know, what did they best guess would be the stickiest of the day? Well, odds are if Laura, when Laura comes back and Rosenberg was chastising me in the, in the text the other day.

That's strong. Chastise is strong, but go ahead. About the fact that Laura does stories and I'll be like, yeah, nobody. don't care about this. I don't care. I hate this story. This sucks. But the reason I do that is because that's how I really feel and I want the audience to get to know me. I don't want to sit up here every day and act like I give

a damn about Summer Walker and Rich the kid, but I know people are talking about it, so we need to cover it. I know, but I think that, well, two things. One, I wasn't just talking about you. That was you internalizing. I was also talking about Laura. Okay? I was also

talking about it. Now she's got Laura's BBC. By the way, I also spoke to Laura. I don't, I said to Laura, because after I texted you in the group, I texted her on the side. I said, Laura, when you get back, it's the time to talk about how you want the news thing to be. Like, is that how you want to do it? And do you really want this to be called the BBC? These are the things we need to address when you get back.

And she said, okay, cool, I definitely don't want it to be the BBC. That's a direct quote. So why did she name it that? I said you should address this then. Because your man's going to run with the BBC. He's all... No, I'm not running with the BBC. We can't do that.

We don't want another season to assist. We can't do that. You can't do the BBC. No, what we can do is Laura's BBC. No, that sounds crazy, too. Why does that sound crazy? Because either way, no matter how you say it, it's got a different... And by the way, I got evidence.

I got evidence. I told her to make it the BNN. With you mean, either way, it's the big black... It's the big black... No matter how... you can't. No, it's not. That's what people. BNN was Bochinchin news network. BNNN. BNNN. It's like Griff says,

Griff is saying right now she changed it to the BBC. Because remember, I was trying to build community. This goes back to, you know, me always trying to build family, connect community, being a cornball. Yep. And me thinking it's valuable that inside our social media channel, we create our own conversation. Right. The BNN, led by Laura Stavis, the Bo Ciche News Network.

Which, by the way, I have E&N at 6 o'clock. But that's why I wanted to do BNN. No, it's branding. It's double branding. BNN and E&N. Exactly. Exactly. Well, listen.

Well, now it's Laura's BBC. Well, I was just saying I think that when we do this, as long as it, because listen, I think we may end up back on radio, but as long as we're doing this in podcast form, I think that idea of we need to cover it and even if our covering it is we don't care about it, I don't think that flies the same way online.

What do you mean? We can't argue about it being stupid online? If none of the three of us care, that's not a good news story for us. No, but it's not about caring about the actual story. The story's hot. Okay, if the story's hot, and this is what people are talking about,

about. But it has to be legitimately like hot. Like what's hot? Well, it depends on your algorithm. I just, listen, I have mixed feelings on this. I've always felt, I've said this many times, I've always felt that Laura got sort of saddled with when she came on the show. We already had the flashing lights when Laura came. If you want to go old school. Okay. Back in the day, Syphi Sounds and Rosenberg show, we had the flashing lights with Kay Fox. Okay. That's where it was all the way back of the day. When Laura came on board, it was what we were already doing. She took that job and everyone kind of liked it and thought this works. I always questioned whether like Laura actually wanted that to be her role or if it was just the role that made sense for her at the time.

But she said she does. She was like, no, I do like doing news. But I was just like, all right, let's just make sure we're doing stuff that you're passionate about. Because when the person telling this, you know how well our audience knows us? They know when Lord, is reading a story and does not give an ish about the story. But that's all I'm saying. At the time is all I'm saying. I hear you. But if no one cares, it's a bad look.

We move on to the next story. I just, I think it's always fine. Listen, these are the things we're here to talk about. No, well, not here, but that we have time to talk about as we get ready and head into the news. Because some stories just need to be like, for instance, today, I was going to share audio of the fact that the, United States Postal Service. Oh, boy.

Has changed how they date your mail. Most people listening to me do that headline right now do not care. They don't. They don't care. They're like, wait, what are you talking about? Why would I give a damn? But, but it's relevant. But if you got a grandmother or somebody that's dealing with health care and they have to

post date or make sure their mail is dated so that they can get money to pay for their health care and the U.S. Postal Service doesn't date that mail right. You don't get your money. The Postmark rule changed quietly and it affects voting and health care. Let me explain what just happened at USPS because this is not minor and it's not theoretical. So as of this week, the United States Postal Service clarified that a postmark date is no longer tied to when you drop your mail off. It's tied to when that mail is first processed by an automated facility. So as an example, you can put something in the mailbox on Monday, but if it doesn't hit a sorting center until Wednesday, Wednesday becomes the postmark.

That matters when deadlines are based on postmarks. Think ballots. Many states say a mail-in ballot counts if it's postmarked by election day. Under this rule, you can mail your ballot before election day and still have it postmarked after. So that's not voter fraud. That's logistics, quietly overruling intent. So now let's talk health care because this is where people really get hurt. Healthcare runs on mail deadlines, appeals, prior authorizations, Medicare notices, prescriptions.

See, I told you wouldn't care. No, it was good. We got the information that was needed. This is going to be problematic for people. Yes. Yes. But if I just told you the headline, you wouldn't care. Correct. And you didn't even care about the audio. And once again, it went in one ear and out the other. Nobody's going to pay attention to that. So are you saying that's something we should do or something we shouldn't do? I'm saying we already just did it. But you see how I was able to tie in that we didn't nobody really cared, but we actually ended up doing it while we know that nobody actually cared. You see what I'm saying? It's like entertainment.

But the only way that you were able to do that is because you, the deliverer of the news actually did care. But I don't care. Because I don't even have a health care thing. But then you faked it well. But you faked it well. If you had fumbled through it and been like, oh, so I don't know, it looks like some ladies saying something about a post office. So you're saying Laura's a bad faker.

Yes. That's exactly what I'm saying. If she doesn't care, I can just hear it. And I'm not, it doesn't sell me. See, but now I'm entertained because now I want to see her do stories that she doesn't really care about. I want to see if she can fake it. I want to listen. Well, guess what?

You probably will. Tune into Loris BBC. Coming your way. Again, I don't think she wants BBC. Did you get it? Coming at you. Loris, BBC? Yeah.

Now, here's a bit of news you wanted to get to yesterday that we never got to. Yes. Spit that T. What is? How did this start moving around? This kid. Hang on. Hey.

With the classic. Okay. Oh, verse two, verse two. Yo, I didn't mean to do that, but that kid's pretty good. Nah, did you see the video, though? I did. All right, so he's got his timboes on. He's got his oversized snorkeled on.

He's got his, you know, he's got his hat with his, his scully with the brim on. What are those called again? The scully with the brim? I don't know, I don't know, but those were so, those are so 2000s. But at any rate, his name is Little TC or TC. I don't know if his real name's Tchala or if they call him that or his name's T.C. Teach the children or something. But anyway, I saw his mom in Naz's comments thinking Nause for posting on IG,

but that's not where I first saw it. I saw It's Biscuit on IG posted first. Got it. It's Biscuit, Long Island kid himself. I don't know where this kid T.C. rapping is from, but don't say we don't support New York rappers. Look at us. Look at us.

Is he from New York? It got to be. Sounded like it, right? Sound like it, look like it. Walk like a duck, talk like a duck. New York rapper. You know another comment I've been getting? I've been seeing around, by the way.

Shout out to the little men right there. People missing beds for our show. Like when we talk over the music, talk over a little beat. Yeah. Oh, you're throwing a little sign. Yo, it's Ebro, Laura Roosevelt. Good morning.

Does it feel right? Like, even if it's like, because that beat is trash, but you know what I'm saying? Well, this, I just picked what I, it's not trash. It's not the kind of beat we normally talk on, but I just,

I don't have a lot of options here of, you know, free beats. Yo, plug in the turntables. Just throwing an instrumental. Then they take away the show, though. Let's see. Slow Vodge. That's tough right there.

That's tough. I mean, by the way, you know what else is saying that people miss Shawnee, too? that's sharnie's vibe of the show is that he would give us the well y'all can still listen to shoney though but it's not the same because it's just johnny they didn't say they want just shawney oh dan don't do him like that don't do them like that i'm just saying i don't know that that's what they wanted was i'm to say i think they like his production i really i haven't heard what they're what they're

sounded like i only heard like one segment i haven't really gotten to hear very much so wait you're saying in your personal time it wasn't your habit to turn on the radio i haven't you got yo no wonder we got fired. I haven't been up and out of the house like that. Yo, no wonder we got fired. You didn't even support the station you worked at. Bro. I didn't do a lot of listening at this point. That's fair. Damn, man. You know, no wonder we got can, man. You should have known when I didn't show up to Summer Jam that I, that the end was near. Yo, Ebro, there was a time when I would have skipped funerals for Summer Jam, bro. Summer Jam was like, and this past year I was like, I got a

WWE taping. This is crazy. I don't think I could make it. guys. That's how you know something had changed. There was blood in the water. Do people like blood in the water? I think it's just me. But I'm running with it. All right, ladies and gentlemen, let's get into some more action today. Is everybody up to the time on the Trump administration, the Department of Justice, and J.D. Vance, accusing Somalis in Minnesota. Yes, all of them of government fraud. Have you been following this story, Rosenberg? Mm-hmm. Following is aggressive. I've been seeing the story. So there's a whole narrative, a fraud narrative around Somali people,

and obviously that puts the Trump administration right where they want to be with regard to trying to take status, legal status, away from Somalis and begin deporting them in Minnesota. Okay, right. That's the noisy part of the story. Now, what you need to know is Tim Walts, the governor of Minnesota, who also was running with Kamala Harris. Tampon Tim, that's what we call.

I don't know if you know this, but Trump and those guys want him out and they want to turn Minnesota red. And Trump's going to be supporting some other governor candidates. It should be noted that Tim Walts administration in the state of Minnesota has already been locking people up who are not Somali,

who are just white folks for fraud, who have been going into the Somali community, working with Somali people who also committed fraud. And just like I said on yesterday's program, the idea that we would frame an entire community or ethnicity around its worst is terrible. Yeah, but this is America in 2025. My bad, my bad, my bad.

Congratulations, you plagued yourself. What are you even saying? You know the vibes. I know the vibes. I should have known. They're black. These people are black. They're black.

they're immigrants they're from they're from they're from what uh donald trump would call an ischall country yeah but we don't listen to that we don't listen to but this is how they operate there's a place where black people come from people are this isn't what they want here they didn't that pure aryan race well another thing i can't just ignore is all of a sudden and israel wanted to recognize Somaliland oh i saw that because they care well because well Somaliland's not Somalia what's some alt version though that likes Israel apparently well yeah it's It's basically like the equivalent of like, of Gaza trying to be recognized, where you have an ethnic group within a state saying, hey, no, we're our own independent thing.

That's what Somaliland is? Yes, that's the way I understand it. For what people in Somalia. I don't know. I don't know the ethnic group. Well, I just, I saw that headline too. I was like, that's interesting. Why does Israel care about Somalian?

Israel won't recognize the West Bank or Gaza, but they'll recognize. Somaliland. No, Somaliland they're here for it. That one they fully get. Well, and let's be honest, geographically speaking, I think Somaliland gives them access to the Red Sea right there, which they want. I don't like that you're suggesting

that these countries are doing such nefarious things. How dare you? You know, for money? Ah, these people just want freedom, man. Didn't you see Trump and BB yesterday? They were just getting together and having to chat. You know, Trump was threatening Iran again, talking about knocking him out of the war.

water, they're beating the hell out of them, whatever random language he used. Yes. Not to mention, I saw there were more explosions, more drug dealers' boats were getting blown up. Oh, really? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You mean alleged drug, alleged? The blowing up isn't alleged. The drug dealer part is alleged.

That's right. That's what I'm saying. Which really leads me to what my biggest, I got to tell you, my biggest this for Ebro is. Congratulations, you play yourself. Yo, bro. I got one? Yeah, I got a hit you. Why do I get the button?

Well, me too, except I don't deserve it as much as you because I'd actively been trying to remedy this. I just hadn't gotten to do it yet. Yo, bro, you haven't seen one battle after another yet? Nah, hit me with the button. Congratulations. You pulled it yourself. You don't even know how bad you think you're just getting it

because it's like a Leo, Paul Thomas Anderson. Like, it's a good movie. Tiana Taylor's in it. Oh, that's cool. That's cool. You don't know. I heard it's like a movie. No.

First of all, I'm only halfway through it. I had another, it's long. It's like two hours and 40 minutes. All right. And I was like an hour. Wait, I don't get a pass because I got a toddler and a toddler basically is taking over the television. I don't have any free time to watch a movie with my lady.

I mean, okay. But like you, you have, now I could tell you back and forward, trolls world tour. No, listen. Trolls. I'm sure. Abominable, we're no, abominable.

You should watch a bombinable. I don't even know what that is. I'm not even there you. It's great. Oh, listen, listen. What about Moana? Moana. No, you've been seen that.

You've been seen that. No, no, no, no. But it's back now. It's back. When I tell you, like I said, I'm halfway through this movie. Yeah. First of all, the level of excitement from the second it starts of like, oh, we are in this. But it's not just that.

And like, by the way, out of this, out of the gate, yo, Tiana Taylor and Leonardo DiCaprio just tongue-licking, making out. Oh, man. They got it on? Yo, I was like, jealous. I was like happy for. Both of them. I'm like, this is great. I mean, Tiana Taylor's got to think, like, wow, I'm making out with Leo DiCaprio. Yeah. And he's got to be thinking, hey, this is fantastic. Hey, yo, Griff, reach out to Tiana Taylor. Tell her we're late to the party and we want to talk about her kissing Leo.

No, this is, no, this is, no, listen, this movie, Ebro, it's not only is it super exciting. As it kept going, I'm like, yo, this would be like if Ebro had the creative juices to write a story. No, bro, it starts out. And I'm not going to give anything away that we wouldn't like see in the description. But like basically Leo and Tiana Taylor are part of like a super militant black power underground revolution branch. No, no, no. That's how it starts. No, that's how it starts.

Them freeing prisoners at the border of Mexico. Oh, man. No, my knee, if my knees were good, I'd be doing it. Blowing banks up. They're doing everything. Let's get it. take down the whole financial infrastructure. But then as it goes further,

because if you were to look up what the movie's about, it would say Leonardo DiCaprio's character is basically in hiding, and then the bad guy of his life comes back to try to steal his daughter. Right? That's what the story is. But what you don't realize, what I didn't realize is, the bad guys are part of a super underground white supremacy operation. no they're literally the worst of the worst.

No, it sounds like a documentary. No. This is a documentary. And when they decide they want to go after Leo and his daughter, they just tap into the military and they're like, yo, we need y'all to come up with a good reason. Oh, that's what's going on right now. No, it's literally, this is your talk.

The whole movie. Yo. It's, no. Congratulations. You plagued yourself. When y'all frame this up on the internet, it should be titled, Rosenberg and Ebro

finally see the documentary one battle after another. No, it's so, it's so crazy and good and up your alley. And I just feel like even though we've given her a lot of flowers,

Tiana Taylor's level of gradual coming up in entertainment has been a spectacle. Right, but she's also, well, first of all, super-tallel. It goes back to 15 years old.

But we've been 15 working on this. Like, this isn't just like, you know what I mean? And Super Sweet 16 is when people first knew her, right? Um, I didn't, yeah, she was on MTV for my Super Sweet 16. Farrell played at her.

Right. Yeah, I guess. People knew her from that, but around the city and all of that. She was signed to Farrell at that point. And she was signed, yes. But, um, saying all of that to say,

she's super talented and she's been working on this for a while. And here's the key part for you boys and girls out there in TV land, YouTube land or your podcast land. she's actually a nice person and people want to work with her oh she's great you know what I'm saying oh and by the way she's on time for work I on time for work nice person keeps her word communicative these are things that if you want to be successful in life you should you should adopt these practices but she's also shockingly talented and hot well I started

I started I started there I gave her that because there's people who are talented and hot but not nice people not on time I love Tiana I love her mom always have they're fantastic I just want to say when I saw her yesterday getting after it with Leo like the opening scene is her talking to Leo and then her is talking Sean Penn who's the heel in the movie the bad guy I'm like yo Tiana Taylor's a straight up co-star with Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn how many awards griff give me a number how many awards are they giving this movie

I got to see how the whites in Hollywood deal with this. Oh, it's up for a lot. It's up for like seven, I think. Okay, I got to see it. When, though? I don't know if I, we don't, we don't know. Is it good enough to win? Your, you're, your brain is your movie.

I haven't seen everything. I haven't. I haven't. I haven't seen everything. Yeah, I'm really locked into the Hollywood foreign press. I haven't seen everything, but as you could see, I hadn't even seen this until yesterday, but it's fantastic. It's, it's going to be in the conversation, for sure.

It's, you're going to love it, bro. Just make time. Honestly, you're going to, you're going to feel you've played. You played yourself. Well, I got a button for that, and Rosenberg gets a button too. So give yourself a button. Congratulations. You plagued yourself.

Rosenberg decided it was a good time to show up to the American Dream Mall. That's right. Post-holiday season, mall go. No, mid-holiday season. Yeah, but you're in the return cycle. You're in the life. Congratulations, you played yourself. I got a gift card.

I'm going to the mall. kids are out of school and I'm just going to go hang out at the mall all day. That's the key. It's cold outside. So we're going to go to the biggest mall in the area where they have an indoor ski slope. Oh, boy. Indoor water park. Oh, indoor amusement park.

High-end shopping, mid-price shopping, restaurant. I mean, America Dream has everything. Yo, I've never in my life seen a place like this. This is, it's like, it's like I walked out of back to the future. too. Like the amount of crazy over the top, everything from the Angry Birds mini golf. Hey, kind of tough. I took that with East of years ago. I got to get back in that. To the Ferris

wheel. Haven't done the Ferris wheel yet. The snowboarding. The snowboarding I haven't done there, but I want to. They got the weed shop in the mall. There's a weed shop in the mall? There's a weed shop next to the snowboarding. Oh my God. It's Liddy over there. They got every, they got so many restaurants that it's create. Yo, it's the most hype place. There's a place called Mr. Beast Burgers.

I'm like, Mr. Beast has a burger spot and it's in the mall. They have every hype beast thing that could exist. Is an American Dream mall. As they should, shout to American Dream. Yo, it's giant. And by the way, it has to have surpassed Mall of America, right? That's bigger than Mall of America. Well, so it should be

noted, I believe the same people own it. So the same people own Mall of America that own American Dream. And then there's some big mall down in Florida, I think they own and maybe one more after that. I don't know, but this is their thing. I don't think it's bigger than Mall of America, by the way. All right.

So the biggest mall in the world, for those wondering, is the Iran Mall in Tehran. Okay. All right. And they out here hating on Iran like Iran ain't popping. And Dubai Mall. Yo, Dubai. Yo, the Tehran Mall has 21 million square feet. I don't even know what that means.

Me neither. It's too big to even understand. So in the top malls, none of them are U.S. Yeah, let me change. Listen, sidebar, I'm just a small tangent. Just look for the biggest mall in the U.S. Yo, the U.S. is so washed out here when it comes to being on top of what's hot in the world. China is in the future. My cousin just came back from China.

He was like, China is in. three the year 3000 i believe it they have cities that have levels man he went to the city i forget the name of it where you think you're on the ground the whole city had an upstairs the city has upstairs that's crazy so it's a rich city in your eyes that means no if you got upstairs you got money man you know the rules if you got upstairs facts no that's correct i believe it but by the way but ebro when i walk around a place like this, I don't want to be more in the future. It's too much. I'm not saying we want to. I'm just saying for us thinking we're that John Blaze in the world as the United States,

we are not John Blaze. I was walking around this place. And I was having a good time, but I'm also just like laughing. I'm like, what is this? I mean, it's it's absolutely insane. The kids are walking around. The parents rent a stroller that has a built-in tablet. Yeah. How about this? Did you see the little furry animals that you could jump on and ride around them on?

The kids was just riding around on the little furry animal. I did not see the furry animal. I saw the train. I saw there's a Toys R Us Jeffrey Express. Now listen, now listen, I'm going to put you all on to something. After the holiday season at American Dream Mall, when things start to slow down, the kids get back at school, people get busy. On a Monday or Tuesday night, if you have time and you could get there. And I would grab Easter from school, like if it was, you know, we had time. And we will hit the American Dream Mall on like a Tuesday night at like five o'clock. All right. Nobody's there.

They have that Nickelodeon amusement park. You can get on all the rides. They have like a night pass. And they got like real, they got some real live roller coasters. Oh, no, no. I walked by the park and was like, yo, there's a real amusement park here.

No, no, no, no. Me and Issa will hit that joint now. When Issa was small, my big ass can't get into small kids things. my legs don't fold up good enough to get into the little kitty things. I can barely get in them joints. But now that Issa's, you know, last few years that East have been older, she'd get on the big joints with me.

And they have adult rides too. Yes. For sure. So I was saying the exact same thing to Natalie. I was like, if we hit this on a weekday, not when kids are on break, it's probably chilling here. No, no, no, it's great in it. So this is when they make their money.

They make their money on weekends and holidays. That's basically it. Now, the big plan over there was supposed to be you had the American Dream Mall and you had MetLife Stadium. Mm-hmm. They were supposed to plop down some hotels because the idea would be, right, that you can go over there, go check a concert or a football game, spend the whole weekend in the area. and the mall's enough between the amusement park and restaurants the water park nice hotel a concert

but they haven't fitted they haven't you know you still got that nagmae what is that the izod center or whatever that piece of garbage is there's no hotel they got no hotel they got a couple over there but they're not they're not really doing it they're not really doing it um once again it's it's it's it's it's not john blaine no but it's not john if this was dubai if this was duby if this was Dubai, that whole thing would have been built out. Yeah, and probably connected. If this was one of them Chinese cities with the upstairs.

Oh, you could go upstairs and go. They'd have had multiple layers, flying cars. They need to have a better way to get, like, it still feels nasty to get from the American Dream Mall to the stadium. Right, that walk across that. That feels nasty. And I would think they would have wanted to have the good hotels ready by the time the World Cup comes this summer.

You would think. Because there's multiple, how many, Griff, how many World Cup games are they playing there? A few, right? I think it's a few games getting played there. Yeah, the World Cup's going to be a big deal. It's going to be a big deal. No, the world comes don't ring off. There are four in the first round at MetLife.

Wow. And then the finals there. So five total. Hey, yo, hit the button. Hit the button on the whole. Congratulations. You played yourself. Meadowlands, MetLife.

You missed the World Cup. You got to feel, you got to feel ridiculous. No, if Brazil is playing there, England is playing. No, no, yeah, yo, hit the button again. Congratulations, you play yourself. They've got to have hotel. They've got to have a different hotel situation. Now, what you can do is you can take the train straight from Penn Station,

straight pull right up to the MetLife. But you've got to switch at Sikakis, I think, is something like that. And at night, that could be annoying. I'm sure that won't happen. I'm sure the games won't be that late. No, they'll run the trains late if it gets crazy. There's a Renaissance Meadowlands Hotel, I see. Okay.

That's what the people want. A renaissance. Yeah, it's such a weird area. It's the worst. Griff said that was his wedding hotel. How was it? That was his wedding hotel, huh? No, I'm saying.

He says, it's nice. There you go. Yeah, listen, Griff got married to American Dream Mall. I don't even remember. By the way, Shawnee just got there. He just shut up to the wedding right now. He walked in. He went, wait, I missed it.

Congratulations. You played yourself. People remember, we have new watchers, new listeners who've never seen the show before. So they don't even know your inside jokes. Yes, Shawnee showed up to Griff's wedding late, sat down and eat with us and said, yo, when's the ceremony? No, we were, because Griff had like a pretty big, you know, listen, if you, if you're listening to us from a different area, New York and New Jersey cocktail hours are a crazy thing. Like, it's particularly Long Island and New Jersey. cocktail hour is bigger than the whole damn meal. It's gigantic.

It is expected you can have steak. You could have mashed potatoes, cream spinach. It's a full meal for cocktail hour. So we were sitting at a table hanging out our group at Griff's wedding, enjoying the cocktail hour, which is, you know, feels almost like a dinner. And Shawnee walks in, you know, with his, with Shawnee's, you know, his outfit of the, of the, of the, of the ancestors. His his his bandana and Captain Black Sparrow.

Yes, Captain Black Sparrow fit. Captain Black Sparrow. Shani shows up, yeah, he's got the bandana on. He's got the flowing blouse, you know, and we're like, oh, Seanys here. What's up, Shawnee? He's like, oh, blah, blah, blah, we're hanging out. He's taking a bite of the food. He's like, hey man, when is the ceremony?

We're like, what do you mean? We already had the ceremony. He's like, well, I thought this was just hors d'oeuvres. I went, Shawnee, you think there's this. level or hors d'oeuvres before the ceremony? No, we had the ceremony. And they started the ceremony 15 minutes late and Shawnee still full on missed it. Didn't show up at the beginning of it. Missed it. Doesn't the thing that's hilarious about it is, Ebro, is the wedding, the reason the wedding can cause such conflict in a home is that when women notoriously take a long time to get ready for

an event where they have to get nice. The wedding to me can be stressful because you know you can miss it. Like it's a hard time. You have to get there. That's right. If it's a ceremony and they say a wedding starting at six, you really know you can't get there later than like 605. You know that. It's like we're going to be, you don't want to end up walking in as you're seeing the bride get ready to walk down the aisle. I really have no tolerance for this conversation.

It's very frustrating for you, huh? I have zero tolerance because I don't know how people can't manage time. Adults. I don't know how adults can't manage time. But a wedding is like, it's a, it's, it's, what's how much your start time? No, you get dressed, yo, in a wedding, the bride and the groom and everybody gets dressed at the wedding. Yeah. You get dressed at the facility.

How are you late? How are you worried about time? Well, no, but we don't have to have the bride and groom being late. What about Shawnee being late? F, Shawnee. Whoa, whoa. my God, man. Shani still work for the ops.

Oh, now it's all coming out. Happy Chinooka. He went right for, he went right for Shawnee culture. He still worked for the ops. I thought you was a real one, Shani. You thought Johnny might roll out. No, I thought you was, you know what I'm saying? I thought you was against Babylon and all that.

Now, this is a super Babylon. Oh, so you stuck with Babylon. Who, who do you think of the- So you don't vote? You don't vote. But when it gets real, you can't even walk off the job. You ain't free. You ain't free.

Oh, this is crazy. No, you're not free, bro. Oh, this is crazy? Is Shani who you're the most, is Shani the person you most expected to walk off with us into the sunset? I didn't expect him to walk off with us, per se. Yeah, I don't believe he's loyal to us. I just thought that, you know, when people really saw the shenanigans

and the disrespect taking place, they would have respect for themselves. Oh, and. That's what I'm talking about. Self-respect. But listen, there is a theme, though. He was late to Griff's wedding, and he's late leaving the radio station as well. And he was late every day for work.

Yo. He was late to the station and leaving the station. Not where it is, where it is, though, as soon as we got clipped, axed, as they say. Yeah, oh, the big great time. The next day, he was early. Yo, and it's crazy, too. They started acquiring them at like 5 a.m.

Five to 11. We wasn't even asking for all that. Five to 11 is. 5 a.m. every day. On time. Shiny culture. Y'all ask shiny culture. And his voice works now?

Yo, and his voice is back. No, it's crazy. Congratulations. You played yourself. No, it's real. It's real. But this is how it works, though. You know what I'm saying?

You help somebody build a brand. You know what I'm saying? You give him mic time when the establishment was like, yo, take Shoney off the mic. Why is Shani? talking. The establishment was working against Shawnee the whole time. That's documented facts

that program directors that were there. Did not want us to have Shawnee on the air. By the way, though, I maintained that was a, and I said this to them at the time. That was a misunderstanding of them. They didn't understand Johnny's role. Listen, we're not getting into the particulars here. We're just talking about the establishment wanted to take him out.

Right, right, right. And who held him down? We said, hey, Shawnee. Who held him down? when he was late for work. We said, hey, your home is here. You're with us. Who got him extra money? And then he didn't even do the work to get the extra money after the extra money was already coming.

Well, he did extra work. That's not fair. He did extra work. I recall some extra work. That's not what people were saying. Listen to Griff. Look what Griff just said. Oh, no.

What did he grip say? It's a mess out. He just wrote, nope. No, don't do that. Don't tap into the Griff shone attention. There with, yo. Now, Griff, is a stickler.

Griff is... Well, Griff works the hardest, too. No, no, they'll be... But also, but also, Griff is like, when it comes to T's and eyes and dots and crosses... Oh, they need to be... They need to be... Nobody is...

Nobody is more focused on the details than Griff. Got to cross it. Got to die. No, no, no, no. He can't... He can't get through the day if it's not. Shoney is the complete other end of the spectrum, which puts them at odds. they wouldn't have been at odds if shawnee would have just met him in the middle that's an interesting

so it makes you think did shoney get griff clipped because why would they keep shawney and whoa whoa where are we going right now this is crazy whose decision this is not what i expected you think you think shonny had griff done it I mean, Shawnee was canoodling with the bosses in Africa and on the islands.

You know what I'm saying? I thought the craziest one yesterday, I was thinking about yesterday, I thought the craziest one is that Bascom got clipped with us. He didn't even, he wasn't even technically like a part of our show. He's not even a part of our show. Like he did other videos too.

He didn't just do ours. He did everything. And they're like, yeah, you know what? It's a good time. We're getting rid of people we don't like. Yeah. Since we're getting rid of people

we don't really want around here anyway. Hey, Bascom, you know what? Take care. I got to chat with you real quick tomorrow. I got to run a couple things by you. That's my new line. That's my new line from when I'm going to hit someone with something terrible. Can I run a couple things by you tomorrow?

Before we wrap today, any Anthony Joshua updates? So the only update I saw yesterday was tragically the two people who passed away were members of his team. Okay. Damn. So, you know, I was just sitting there stuck off of the fact that these guys a week ago were having such an incredible weekend together. They all just got a gigantic bag. They destroyed Jake Paul, partying in Miami together. And these guys are two like integral part of his team.

I want to get their names right, but Sinagami and Latif Ayodele were are believed to have been traveling in the same Jeep as Anthony Joshua when it collided with a stationary truck on the side of a busy highway in Lagos.

So these guys are, you know, they're part of his team. Y'all know what a boxer's team is like. Like, that's like brotherhood. That's family. That's your real family. And Tyson Fury, who Joshua called out after the fight. And of course, the world wants to see Tyson Fury in England, of course. Great Britain really wants to see Tyson Fury versus Anthony Joshua.

Tyson Fury put out a post yesterday, sending love to Anthony Joshua and his friends. Look, Jake Paul put out a post, too. Man. Jake Paul said life is much more important than boxing. I'm praying for the lost lives. AJ and anyone impacted by today's unfortunate accident. I just can you just realize like one literally a week in change ago. Nice.

These guys were all partying together in Miami. It's just a lot, bro. It's a lot. Also, man, I just, I know this is, I don't, I know I certainly don't know anything about the traffic and driving situation in Lagos. I, I, I, bro, you would, you've been there, right? No. You haven't. No, I've been to Accra, Ghana.

You've been to Accra, Ghana. You've been to Akra, Ghana. You never been to Nigeria. Okay. No. So I know nothing about the traffic there. but I will say this. I had a friend, a good friend of mine, was killed two years ago now,

coming up on two years, because he pulled over on the Henry Hudson up here. He had an issue driving late at night. Carr had an issue, and he pulled over and he stayed in the car. And that's how my friend Jerry got killed. Someone smashed his car. I know this is a random thing for us to throw out there, but since it just happened, you need to get out of the car.

Like if you're in the station, I don't know. So I don't know if that's, I don't know if that's the right advice, Rosenberg. I don't know. I've definitely heard people say, do not get out and stand. No, you don't want to stand next to it. You got to have a place that you could get to. But they may not have one. And so you can't just also be walking down the highway either.

So wouldn't you be better off, though, like if you could get out and walk a hundred yards away from your car all the way off to the side. But people can't see you necessarily. But I mean, assuming that there's like some highway has some shoulder. Man, I don't know, bro. I don't know if this is the right advice you're giving. Y'all can leave comments, but I don't know if you're giving the right advice. I've heard people say, leave your lights on, put your hazards on so you can be seen.

And to the safest place to be is in a car. Yes, it could be dangerous also, but you're on the side of a highway. We're not talking about, you know what I'm saying? like and if you can't get off I mean ideally you know if you can keep the car rolling in some way shape or form to the nearest exit is even obviously better it's a really good point what does chat GPT say about this I that's well this is the kind of thing where they will do the research for us you think chat GPT really I do I do I don't I don't understand why chat GPT is better than just a regular Google because I'm still not convinced It does a bet the AI part of it is doing the search of everything. That's the AI part. It's searching all of the possible sources to give you a better answer. Right, but isn't Google?

Not it's, I don't think Google's doing, you mean the AI answer on Google? Yeah. I think it's close. I think it's probably close. And you, wait, so you pay for chat GPT. Yeah, I may have canceled it, but I was there. You hit yourself with the button. So this.

button you get the idea so this says congratulations you plagued yourself this says for safety on a highway the best practice is to stay in your car buckle up turn on the hazards and call for help as your vehicle offers significant protection only exit if absolutely necessary and do so carefully on the side away from traffic staying a safe distance from the car and roadway ideally behind a guardrail Yeah, it says usually stay in your car. But how far did you get your car off the highway, Ebro? That's the key. Well, you got to, if there's not, you got to be over.

Like, you got to, you got to get over, man. No, I, maybe my friend, maybe my friend was still in the lane or like barely out of it. Now, you got to get over. Because then I, then I heard a thing that there's a possibility that his hazards were on, but that the car is driving down the highway, the way your eyes are at night, it can be confusing. Like, your eyes can kind of play tricks on you

about whether the car is in front of you or off to the side. Like, you can't necessarily tell if the car is moving. I just feel like if there's any place, well, you wouldn't think that if there's any place that you could get away from the road, that's the way to do it. Griff said, we changed the diaper on I-95

just north of D.C. on the side of the road. That issue was scary. Now, I don't want to pass judgment. I love Griffin. I love his wife and I love his entire. Why didn't you have to stop the car? Why didn't you just keep driving the baby? I had to sit in that doo-doo for a second, bro.

Y'all could have went to the next rest stop unless it was like bubble guts all over the seat or whatever. Griffith. That's what I said I got overruled. No, we're fighting. Me and my wife is fighting. You are not convincing me to pull over on the highway, on a highway with 18 wheelers and track the trailers flying by

to change a goddamn, diaper. Although I would sit here, I would sit here and say something about Don, if it wasn't just a week ago where Bear was freaking out in the car and I thought he had to take a poop. And I asked Natalie, can I just pull over here on the highway and let Bear poop? And Natalie was like, are you out of your bleeping mind? You want to have me and the baby on the side of the road and Bear running around on a leash on the, what are you? Congratulations. You played yourself. Everything about this is a terrible thought that you just had. What are you saying? I was like, you know what, I'm thinking about it. I'm spinning it around in my head. So I think the point is this, though.

If there's a way to get away from the highway, like on the Hudson, for example. No, listen, that goes without saying. You're saying what you're saying is obvious. If you can get off the highway, yes. No, no, but I mean even walk off. Like if there's a, if there's a hill that you can go walk up the hill and sit on the hill and it rather than your car. Bro, I don't think that that's good advice. You don't? You'd better off setting. in the car. If you can't get off the highway completely, an off ramp is even worse. I don't say an off ramp. I'm saying like literally there's a grassy area that you could go stand and not be near the road. Okay, maybe. Yes, I guess. But why not drive, push the car over there?

Why not let the car roll over there? Why? Because remember, the car is made of things that can protect you. That's what they're designed to do. Yeah, but better than you. just standing in the open. Well, guess what? It didn't protect my friend. The healthiest, the physically, the healthiest dude I know. My man was jacked to the gills and died in a second inside his car. That's crazy. I just, I just, I, you know what?

It's all a bad situation. You just don't want to pull over on the side of the road. No, if you can avoid it, you definitely don't want to be on the side of a highway. Yeah, even if your car is smoking, you want to try to exit. You want to really try to get all. if you can now. If your car's on fire, if it is smoking and you think something's really going to happen to it,

yeah, you got to lead a car. But to just be walking on a highway, bro, with cars flying by you at 65, 70 miles an hour. And, nah,

you don't want that. You don't want that smoke. Speaking of, I was real quick, speaking of cars, I borrowed a car from my people over at Mercedes Benz of White Plains. My guy,

Jimmy, let me a car. I borrowed the biggest SUV. Yeah. The biggest Ben's SUV because I drive the smallest one. Okay. Because I'm an idiot. Oh, real quick. Sorry. Congratulations. You plagued yourself. I don't know how I'm going to give this car back, bro.

I can't go back to my small, that. Yo, Ebro, my car is not an SUV. It's a sedan that sits up a little higher. It's not. There's no room. There's no room for anything in this car. Well, you're, first of all, for anybody watching or listening to us wherever you're listening. I hope to have this show more formatted than a few. and it's not just meanderings of me and Rosenberg.

Well, we'll get there. Um, secondly, if you've been listening to the show for a little while, you would know that Rosenberg, when it comes to automobiles, is not knowledgeable, full stop. Congratulations, you plagued yourself. And it's cheap. Um, well, on top of that. Congratulations, you played yourself. And, and he owns it.

So him being Jewish and cheap, you know what I'm saying? Do it that with you. Congratulations, you play yourself. It doesn't mean all Jewish people are cheap. It just means that Rosenberg fits hysteria. Never forget that this happened, Ebro, when I was hanging out with Capona Noriega backstage at Berkeley Center. That's the fucking Jew-N-N-Nus. That's a junior.

That's a junior. That's a junior. That's a junior. Yeah. Ju-naker. Do you hear the last one? The last one sounds so nasty. What is that?

He just says it. No, the last one, he's like, juke. Just says it like, no, it's great. Listen. It's a, it's a wild to be. Man, in the streets we use slurs, man. Slurs. Slurs.

In the streets. Not at home. Not at home. And by the way, those people love you. So it was love. But listen to the last one, how crazy it sounds. That's the fucking Jewel. It's the junior.

That's the junior. The junior, super Jew niggins. I don't like that last one, though. Yo. So are we ready, ladies and gentlemen? The Mom Dani era is about to begin, man. Mom Donnie. Going down.

The Mom Dani era is about to begin. On Thursday. Yes. Sworn in on Thursday. There was a New Yorker article pulling it up right now. Excuse me. New York Magazine. Yes.

Excuse me. New York Magazine. Now comes the hard part. Introducing Mayor Maimdani and his inner circle. The first is, let's see here. Zoran Mom Donnie's Revolution. in this moment before he takes office

has two defining qualities. The first is a well-known movement building skill of the man. Out of nowhere, he has become the center of the political university in New York and redefine what is possible in American politics. The second is a certain sense of unreality,

a tension between what he promises he will do and what the normal laws of political physics would seem to allow. Deep. Well, I thought that was important to read because the world is watching this. Mom, Donnie's got plans. He's got plans.

Plans, some people like to frame as promises. A promise to work on a plan isn't a promise that the plan is actually going to work. You feel me? Yeah, because anyone who sees it as a promise is you're just waiting to come for the guy. Well, no, but this is normal in politics. Rosenberg, don't do this. Most people hear plans from politicians, and they say the politician made a promise

and fell short of the promise. When the promise was a promise to work on a plan, but the plan is not a promise. I think I understand what you're saying. No, you definitely do. Yeah, I get it. And so they're waiting to slit Mom Donnie's political throat. Oh, man.

shark yo blood's in the water sharks are circling now listen it the blood is in the water for mom donnie anytime mom donnie does anything there the the ADL is watching this guy so crazy trying to call him out as anti-Semitic at every step they're going through every social media post of everybody he even stands in here and it's crazy how Islamophobic it is they have a goal So, wait, the ADL still has credibility out here? You determine what credibility is. They still make noise. Okay, they still make noise.

They got a lot of financial support. They still have a lot of financial support. The marketing machine is, is revved. Yeah, and the guy who, and the guy Greenblatt, Jonathan Greenblatt, who runs it, still, you know, does a lot of talking and is outside. Yo, I forgot to tell you. I don't want to go into the details because I'd feel. guilty, you know, spilling like a personal conversation that wasn't meant for air. But is somebody you care about or somebody you don't care about?

That's always a determinant factor. I care about anyone I've had a friendship with, even if I think they're a kooky. So you think it was a bad idea that I shared Drake's DMs? No, that's not a friend. That's not a, that someone threat, yo, someone says something like that to me. I'm telling. Because you know, that was the narrative, the internet tried to. Oh, he's sharing private DMs.

If you, listen, I got no screen. Stop, stop. The people don't know me very well, especially people on the internet because they haven't seen a lot of our content over the years. I don't give a rat's ass about social media. If you only know me on social media, we're cordial, we're nice. You don't know me, bro. Are you talking about the people or Drake? I'm talking about people or anyone that just DMs me on there.

If I'm having a personal conversation, I know you personally as people who have DM me like, yo, what's going on? And I'll be like, yo, text me, bro. Like, what are you doing? Like, I'm offended if I know you and you just talk to me on DMs. Like, we're just having a chat in DM. Like, what?

Listen, either way, the idea of protecting a private conversation when the conversation is about you dying and calling you the P word, that doesn't count. That doesn't count as private. Believe me, I have way more conversations with Drake historically that I kept private.

Believe you, me. It wasn't, it wasn't. Can we get them DMs? Yo, more DMs. I have my old phone backed up. I have years of text messaging with everybody. Yo, we should do, Yo, we should launch a show just called Rosenberg's text messages.

Bro, let me tell you something. I got, I didn't remember saving it, but I found this file. Apparently, at some point, I got some backup thing, and I was like, oh, let me backup this phone. And I have, like, I have crazy stuff on my phone with people who are definitely now. I have conversations with enemies. I got all kinds of everything. I never, but I would, that's something I would never do.

Now, this person who reached out to you. How much, but, but a million dollars? Well, see now. No, I mean, it depends on what the thing is. How would you do the dance for $200 million? $200 million. That's a big dance. I don't have anything that's that valuable.

So I probably, I mean, look, if the offer's on the table, there's no $200 million deal that's just guaranteed $200 million. You're going to have to, there's like an earn out. You know what I'm saying? You're going to have to earn it out. Well, I would hit the person up. And I'd say, hey, I'm about to go get this back. Yeah, I'd say, hey, I would never do this.

but someone offered me $200 million. So I got to give up these text messages. You said some stuff you're probably not going to love, but you'll get through it. It's going to be the worst thing that's happened. You're going to be fine. But I heard from Azilia Banks the other day. Oh, wow.

Yo, I need, we need sounders, man. We need like a, we need like a breaking. Morgan. I need something. I need something. We got to get our audio together. Our audio is trash. No, by next week, I'm going to get like some,

I'll get some more actual sound. in here. No, no, not, but when we, yo, listen, we got plans. In the next couple of weeks, we got plans. Everybody's buckle up. Now, we're going to do some good things. You like those photos? You like those photos? Yeah, yeah, actually I did. I like to start. She's looking like. Well, by the way, it looked different. Ebro sent me mockups of our new studio. Hey, hey, whoa. Sorry, it looked different than the first one you showed me. Yeah, because I'm minimizing a lot of it. I'm putting some other stuff in there. Yeah, I like the ones you sent as I really liked. I saw it like late. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But we're still going over some stuff.

So there's some stuff that, you know. I like that better than the first one you sent where it looked like we're like... Ah, hey! Why is this a secret? This isn't a secret. It doesn't matter. Why are you spilling the beans, man? It's a room with microphones where we're going to talk.

Whoa! They never see anything like this. Nah, but you know, I like the comments where they're like, yo, you're unemployed and broadcasted from your bedroom. That's, by the way, I was employed and broadcasting from my bedroom. I'm a big fan. That's my favorite part. What are you talking about?

I've enjoyed this. Anyways, it was a very interesting conversation with Azealia. What was it about? And what prompted it? And how did it give us the whole thing? She reached out to me out of the blue, and she sent me a record that she wanted me to hear. And I'll tell you what, Azealia can still rap. No, no, listen.

One thing we're never going to do is act like Azealia didn't make great music. Azalea is not doing it talented bro she is I don't understand her like she is one of the smartest and most talented people I've ever known in music and then she just like says things that I'm like what are you saying but you've seen that before but not but like you know you've never seen you've never seen you've never seen in talented individuals who are extremely talented also say But like, for example, you know, she's been on some Zionist stuff recently. Well, I saw they took it to Israel. She was out there.

She's, you know, pro Israel now. No, they put her on Team Rapaport. You know what I mean? Come out here, check things out. Yo, that bag. Yo, people do the dance for the bag. There's a bag there. Listen, and by the way, it's a, I got to tell you, if anyone out there who's, like, never been to Tel Aviv,

you're going to have a great time. It's going to be easy for them to make you love the place. And then they start hitting you with the propaganda information on top of it. it's a lot but here's the difference like rapaport for example he's not a very bright guy he's okay he made some good movies he's a good actor he's been a lot of crazy stuff

but he's not like I've never heard him talk and went wow that guy is just smart same with Kanye Kanye Kanye gets ideas in his head and he goes crazy never sounds informed or smart but very creative and very creative all those things Azealia is not like those guys. Like when she wants to give you her pitch on Zionism,

no, she's doing the work. Like she gets the information. She retains information incredibly well. I can't. I can't do it. I'm just like, how are we here? I can't do this. Well, you didn't do it.

I had to do it. No, I'm in it now. You're talking to me. I can't. I'm like, I'm like, why can you be this smart and also doing this? I don't understand. like she was Azealia was like super pro black do you remember that let me tell you what Zionism isn't that super pro the people of indigenous people of color no that's my point I'm like how could we

get here from where you were like voice of of black of LGBTQ of like she I just don't know how people go from that to this other thing. I just cannot. Ebro, I don't. Why are you doing this, man? Are they offering, they really offer a check? Like, literally, hey, so here's the deal. We're going to give you.

I mean, I'm sure there's some financial upside to toe in this line and doing this dance. Are we back to doing the dance combo? Oh. No, I don't feel like, I don't feel like that. You're going to get me dragged into conversations. I'm going to get an awkward text message conversations from people. It's got, yo, the clip of this is moving. No, why?

Zionism, Azalea Banks, and Rosenberg? No, I don't think so. What? I don't think people really care anymore. I swear. About which part? All of it. They don't care about Zionism anymore?

Well, that part's big, bigger than it's ever been for some people. They don't care about a black woman who was Azelea Banks, who's like a lightning rod on the internet. Text Rosenberg to sell him on Zionism? Well, I'm not, I'm not saying that she was, I'm not saying that her goal was to sell me. You said she laid propaganda out. Well, my personal belief is that her feelings are that. I believe that that's what her, I'm not saying her express purpose was.

But why did she hit you about this? I think the combination of Jewish guy and, uh, and music. like the over so now so now all right so boom you guys have had a good relationship throughout the years this is a fact and then we had bad and then a bad relationship but she included you on her second album first audio for was that her first album first official album Rosenberg is on the album I think was part of an interview or you did a drop something whatever so it's clearly been a relationship there so out of the blue Azalea banks who had who has recently discovered Zionism and

Israel and it was brought to Israel to perform. Decided that she wanted to reach out to a Jewish person who she knows, knew, had had a good relationship with to now start talking about Zionism. Well, again, I think, I think the reason she hit me up was she wanted me to hear this music. Okay. But there's Jewish stuff in the music, too. And so did she assume that it was a safe landing space because now, Now she's promoting Israel and Zionism, and she also has new music.

So she was like, I need to find a Jewish DJ who may support this. Perhaps, you know, and I hit her, I had her up and I said, hey, I don't, I don't support Zionism. I said, I don't. Wrong guy. I said, I said, this isn't my cup of tea. I made clear that I don't agree with this thought process. You know, I said, listen, I have a lot of connections to Israel and Israeli people. and I got a lot of love there, but killing kids is, I'm against that.

I'm against killing children and taking land. So I'm not a Zionist. I don't know what you know about me, but I'm not that. But she assumes you were like a lot of people do because the last name is Rosenberg. Yeah, it's crazy too. And you're proudly Jewish. Yeah, nothing gets me hotter, by the way, than when I post something about nothing and someone posts in my comments, free Palestine, like they're talking ish to me.

I'm like, but I say free Palestine. So why are you putting it in my comment? Like that's just anti-Semitic. Now you're just being anti-Semitic. You're just saying, you assume because I'm a Jew, I'm going to be offended that you're saying free Palestine. No, I'm offended that you don't think I believe free Palestine. That's why I'm offended.

Why you put it in my comments? And why do you think that's the appropriate way to show your great protest was when I posted about wrestling, you need to write free Palestine in the comments. That's not doing anything, bro. But yeah, so the reason I'm being a little bit of a wuss here is I don't want to ish on her because she reached out and, and I don't want to betray her. But like she's very public about where she's at on this issue.

This is out. She publicly stated I'm a Zionist. So I don't think I'm saying anything out of school here. But I was just like, wow, she's really passionate about this subject. And this has been Ebro-Lauron Rosenberg. Come next week, we're going to really be on point, man. Well, look, I've been told by people that do this podcast thing. and monetize it and run businesses around it,

that our numbers and the support you guys are showing and the love and the engagement is beyond phenomenal. What's beyond phenomenal? Give me a word. Phenomenomenal. You know what I mean? Like we are doing great, thanks to all of you. And we have plants exemplary.

Great word, Griff. Wow. And because you guys show us love and all of that, we might be able to buy a hamburger next week. You know, this unemployment line. I mean, listen, Baskam's out here shoveling snow for a few bucks. That's how bad it's got him. Now, Baskin told us he was trying to help his family shovel snow the other day

and they tried to give him some money because they're worried about his employment. You know, that was calm. And he was like, I don't want to be that guy. Yeah. Close out, Ben. Yeah. Go subscribe and share. Tell a friend.

Turn on your notifications too, I'm told. Turn on the notifications, Rosenberg's told. Happy New Year, and shout out to Nicholas Craven, who did these beats. Nick Craven, I'm going to bring in some beats to him. I'm going to have a pack of beats for you by the end of the day. Oh, send them, and I'll load them up a page of them. I need a pack of beats. And by the way, you know, that's something we can do to help support New York rap.

The beats that we use during this show, if you hear anything that you might want, That's what I'm saying. I thought that could be cool too. We play beats and then like we list the credits of the beats in the description. Oh, hi, baby. Shout to MJ. So speaking to MJ, I saw a photo on your story. She was sitting up with a shirtless man.

What was that about? We were at my friend's pool. Sitting up with a shirtless man. It was from the summer. I saw my knees sitting up with some shirtless man. I didn't like it. That was MJ. Jeff, we were at his pool in the summertime.

So everyone was shirtless. It's all right. All right. Why are you handing your baby to shirtless people? shirtless men. Shirtless men, no less. Well, I'll be honest. A shirtless random woman will be weird, too.

I'll be honest. For sure. Why are you doing that? Why do you? Happy New Year, everyone. We'll see you in 2026. Just don't call it a podcast. If you're a podcast host, listen up this one's for you.
