Just don't call in a podcast.
Okay, okay.
Hey, Laura.
Happy Friday.
Shout to everybody dealing with allergies, man.
I was here dying.
He's smacked up.
I've been getting smacked by allergies my whole life.
You know how some people like evolve into allergies?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think that's what's going on with Issa.
Issa said her eyes and nose was itching this year,
but she hasn't had like sniffles and all that yet.
But she's outside more too.
Yeah, that's what I told you.
You run around playing football and all it's in the grass.
It's getting to you.
Yeah.
I've been getting smacked up my whole life.
There's pictures of me when I'm like five years old, eyes swollen shut.
Oh, my God.
I need to find those.
I hate fever.
I started in my teens, my late teens.
That's when I started.
It sucks, man.
And I grew up with asthma too.
So it was like the allergies and the, you know, all of the phlegm and all of that then would trigger my asthma.
That doesn't happen anymore because I changed my diet.
That was when I was eating cheese.
I remember when I was a kid, I couldn't have milk and all this other stuff because it would trigger mucus, which would then trigger the asthma.
I spent one Christmas in the hospital because of asthma.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Asthma scary.
They used to have to bring the ambulance to the crib, take me to the hospital.
there's a few of those moments
he said I don't got asthma right
none of the kids got asthma
none of the kids got allergies really
jazz was complaining of a headache
the last couple days a bad headache all of a sudden
and I think
she post pregnancy
her body's changed it does
and so I think she might be getting hit with allergies too
she took some flow nays or something
is feeling better
yeah I do that too man I'm hurting bro
I just went on line here
I found a
a guy named Gordon.
Uncle Gordon never bought his honey before,
but I'm buying the honey.
You do the local honey.
Yeah, I started taking local honey,
and I just do like a little teaspoon daily.
Listen, I read that it helps,
and I've been good, you know, right now,
I don't, you know, I feel it.
I feel it coming on,
but eventually the honey is not the only thing
that's going to hold me down.
I'm going to have to hit some kind of drugs,
some Zyrteg, some Allegra, something.
So I just read something.
If you suffer from allergies, my mom used to give me bee pollen when I was a kid.
And I've been slipping.
I just been taking the Zyrtec.
But I think this year I'm going to get on this honey.
It says you look for a beekeeper or something, 30 mile radius from where you live.
Mm-hmm.
And you eat their honey.
Yeah.
And that's good.
Damn.
Uncle Gordon, North Bergen, New Jersey.
He's over there about the American Dream Mall.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It helps, guys.
Damn, says he sold out.
Wait, hold up.
God.
Come on, Uncle Gordon.
I need some honey, bro.
They're shooting my email and be like, what's up?
Can I get some?
Yeah, but for the audience, man, it helps.
Local honey helps.
All that good stuff.
I also use the, not the netty pod,
but the squeeze bottle to rinse my nose out.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I rinse the nose.
I do that after I come back from cycling.
Yeah, that's.
He used to scare the hell out of me.
Now I'm a pro.
Now I'm like, let's go.
Oh, here we go.
Uncle Gordon.
Got the delivery.
Okay.
It's going down.
Sorry.
Sorry, guys.
This is the allergy show with Ebro and Laura.
Rosenberg is in WWEmo.
What's the W.W.E thing that's happened this weekend?
WrestleMania.
It's a big deal, right?
It's the biggest of deals.
Two days, King Lou says.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Lou, your mic is on.
You don't have a mic.
No, it's not.
Oh, yeah.
What are you guys doing?
I thought that was the new thing.
You guys wanted like camera shots
and mics over there.
What's happening?
They're requiring.
Nah, no.
Shout to engineer, the engineer, Dan.
He came and tightened up some wires.
But that doesn't mean you can't have a mic cable.
Oh.
All right.
Wow.
Laura, what's you cooking up today, man?
What's our focus?
So we have, well, it's Friday Freedom.
Yes.
Fought Friday.
So we have a lot of great emails.
I do want to encourage you guys, send us some voice notes.
I told you, send us some videos too.
It's easy and some people are shy, but we love them.
So we have a lot of that.
Guys, I finally got a sneak peek at Kansas school pictures.
Remember I told you I was scared?
Yes.
Because I greased her up and she was great.
And at the end of the day, she looks like she's been tumbled dry.
Semi tumble dry.
Oh, Kenza, stop it.
It's one of those.
And then I've been telling her like, yo, smile for the pictures, you know, smile.
So she goes like this.
looking like it hurts
like yes
and that's exactly what I got in the photo
so what does she want to take a picture like
no it's just like she feels
that when I tell her smile
instead of her natural smile she goes
oh yeah she doesn't know how she doesn't know
so she has like the forced smile
but have you ever asked her like
when I take this picture what do you want to do in the picture
she probably wants to do a silly face
so you should let her do that in a school pitch
oh god no email no bro you got to let kids
yes why not
No. Why do parents not allow that to live?
Because then you look back at the picture, right?
When you're older and you get an example of what you were as a kid.
See, look at you.
Like, I think that's healthy.
My brother, I got to find my brother's old pictures when he was in school.
Why?
His were all like that?
Bro.
Bro didn't take nothing serious.
No.
Nothing, bro.
Everything was a joke all the time.
So what was he looking like?
Nuts, bro.
Hair was like out to here.
But you know, this was the 80s.
So he's got like the, you know, the, what's the, what's the, the Partridge family feathered hair.
You know what I'm saying?
He got all that going on.
My brother, you know, he's white.
But then his, his hair would be all over the place.
He'd be making a stupid face.
That's funny.
No, but you should let Kenza live like that.
Well, right now we're stuck with this kindergarten photo of the first smile.
No, man.
I will show you guys.
Kenza, you need to get in there and say this.
FD scale, kid.
And then take the photo.
Facts
Yeah, I'm not showing it
Because there's other kids in the photo
But you know
Oh, that's the full class
Yes
Wait, but do we have just her pick?
Not yet
I'm waiting for them
Oh
Yeah
Man
They hit me with the full class first
I have Issa's most recent
You know what I mean
Hey yo Rassan
Look pay attention
Let me find a
See if I can find
Issa's most recent
School pick
Um that they sent over
What is it
Um
You know I'd be looking at
These school picture
Situation is differently
now since the Epstein
files. Oh, God.
You know,
don't tell me they were working with like, I didn't know this.
What? You didn't see in the Epstein
files and all of this Epstein where they
studied and found out that these billionaires
are the ones that own the school picture companies?
Y'all didn't see that? Wait,
y'all didn't see that? No.
Reson, you saw it, right? I didn't see
that. Yes, bro.
Ah. Yes, bro.
I didn't know that.
Yes, let me see if I can pull us up
Here we go
So was it like a list of companies to look out for?
Nah, I mean, I don't know if this is still going on
But this is what was going on
With that whole, you know
This is disgusting
That whole thing thing
Wait, all I can find is a receipt
We'll proceed, we'll proceed
In the meantime, do we got Issa football video
Since we're family Friday, fought Friday
We'll jump to Issa getting some interceptions
in the most recent national championship flag football down in Baltimore,
which I wasn't able to attend over the weekend because I was in L.A. Travel mode.
That's right, Issa. Watch, watch.
Look, watch. Watch hit the spin on. Oh. And then this one, too.
Hey, oh, yeah, Issa, get that. Oh, oh, oh.
Yo, she's rocking. Go ahead, Issa.
Yeah, you saw that out of bounds spin.
The feet was moving.
I know, I saw the little spin.
Yeah, she getting faster.
She getting it.
Look, look at her little swag.
Got her glasses.
Getting her little flag football swag together.
I love it.
No, she's not a, I don't believe she's a Ravens fan.
I don't know who she's a fan of,
but that was what's interesting about the flag football thing right now,
and if you got young kids and, you know,
this is something that maybe your kids might be interested in
because it's getting really popular.
Yeah.
Same way it caught Issa where it was like, you know,
she saw other girls.
girls playing and they got the face paint on and the outfits look cool and they spinning and running
and catching in the ponytail and the hair and all the staff stuff um now you have NFL team so the
jets have a uh what they call like New York Jets all elite which is like all over like the Jersey
New York area and they take kind of the best girls playing in the area and they go and they
compete but that was a Baltimore Ravens I think national championship so if you if you perform well
at these different tournaments around the country
then you end up going to like a national tournament
That's dope.
ESA's team, they lost two games by one point
And then won the third game
So I don't think they qualified to go to the championships
In that game
Or in that tournament
So I don't know where their national standings are
I feel like as a parent
I can't just be paying I can't be paying to it
Like you're 11
You know what I mean?
Like I can't be at the crib
Like all right so here's a plan
We're going to go to the
National Championships and we're gonna train you go get to the June like it's like yo chill out
But because there's parents that's on this type of time very much so I know I know I know no no I can't be that parent guys I'm sorry
I may let some of you down because I got my friends hitting me sending me links to camps and trainers and
You'll get Issa in this quarterback camp and get her in this day I'm like yo can she just enjoy it just have fun can she just have fun for a little bit
If she wants to compete and comes to me and says hey dad I want to take it up and
notch. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Then I will take it up a notch. Yeah. But dad's not going to be like,
yo, this is what I need you to do this weekend. We're going to hit these hundred crunches.
And then we're going to run these hills. And then we're going to drag this sled. And then I can't
be that guy. Yeah. It's a lot. I can't be that guy. Uh, Fatt Friday. Uh, Ebro, Laura Rosenberg is
the Gmail. Uh, Laura, how did you feel about this week with me traveling? I saw, uh, Snow the product
here. Have I met Snow? She did a good.
Great. Yo, thanks for coming on show.
It was great, great show, great combo.
She makes great music.
She can bar it up and says real things of her music.
She's dope.
I don't think you've met her before.
I think this was her for, I mean, I met her before one time because I had her on my old
podcast, but it was Rosenberg's first time.
So I think it's, yeah, I don't think she's ever met you before.
How did you guys stay connected?
She just, y'all just follow each other?
Yeah, that's it.
And we, like, DM each other and we chat.
And then she told me she was, she's the one who hit me.
She's like, you're going to be in New York.
And I was like, come by.
She was like, I would love to him doing promo.
Like, I would love to come sit with y'all.
So she's the one who hit me.
If you are watching this, yo, chat,
how did you feel about the Shine interview we dropped this week?
Any feedback for Shine?
We didn't get deep into the politics.
I saw on some other.
Shout to my family, Earnier Elegio over there.
Them brothers had him on as well.
And they delved more into his political stance,
which was interesting.
You know, because he's anti-
dictatorship.
Yes.
Like staunchly.
Yeah.
Now he said some things that we'll have to bring up with him later on where he was like,
you know, America's a different place now.
You know, it used to be racist and it used to be this.
And it was like, my man.
What are you saying?
Used to?
Yeah, exactly.
But I think what he was articulating was or attempting to articulate
was how he as a politician can't support the Cuban regime.
because it's a dictatorship.
Okay.
So he's like, yo, two things can be true.
I can support the Cuban people
and not like their government.
Yeah.
And also not like what the American government's doing to Cuba.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
But by no means, does that mean I'm going to align with a dictatorship?
Right, right, right, right.
Because what I found interested when he was here is like,
I support freedom of speech,
but I will not criticize the president,
leave that up to y'all well but i think that's because he's not a citizen and he doesn't want to get
his visa revoked and they will do that so and he knows what type of time things yeah so i think that's
that part um but we'll have him back up and we'll get into politics because he said he's running again
yes and he did mention fraud so there was a lot going on in there so i'm curious to see you know
what exactly he was referring to but yo i i could see him going far though i could see him listen
he's the prime minister maybe yeah
I mean, his dad is heavy in there.
And you know, he's opposed.
Where he is, Sean is in the government in Belize
is opposed to his own dad.
They're not aligned.
I didn't know that.
That's interesting.
I didn't know that.
And I didn't ask him,
which is why if you notice in the interview,
I started laughing when he was talking about the fraud.
Because in my mind,
I think his dad set him up.
Oh my God.
This is going to be a movie.
Yeah, I think his dad's crew,
like the old crew of Belize,
He's like the old politician crew
Is the crew that's like doing him dirty
Allegedly, okay?
I said, I think.
I think, I'm not sure.
Shout to Austin and Shell.
They said, they love the new show.
Happy didn't let the suits run this issue in the mornings.
My fiance and I love Ebro reviewing Disney
Ebro Animation iteration.
We thought it was a great title.
Keep up the great work.
Forever listeners, now watchers too.
Thanks, Austin and Shell.
I love that. Okay, okay. Yeah, no, that's dope. That's dope.
Yo, when I showed Issa's football, I'm out of whack, man. I've been traveling a long week. My brain is fried.
I was supposed to hit the Family Matters intro. Or no, I was.
Damn. Everyone's looking at you like, bro, you slip in.
Damn, bro. Let's go. Congratulations. You plagued yourself.
So shout to them. We're doing emails right now. Laura, you got an email?
I do. I do. Here we go. This is from Anonymous.
Yeah.
Oh, ELR fam.
I love your friendship.
Y'all like family.
Question for the squad.
Have you guys ever had a real fallout on air?
A real disagreement where you actually got mad at one another.
How is it resolved?
You have been together for over a decade daily.
So something has to happen.
I feel like I know y'all more from listening to you on air for years.
No, I says, I feel like I know y'am more from listening to you on air for your
Okay, keep it up.
Hmm.
Laura, have we ever had a fall?
Let's start there.
Yes.
What do we follow?
We had one.
Okay, what was it about?
We had one where you were being a troll, and I still remember this, because I had a gig where I was interviewing college basketball players.
Okay.
And I was like, I don't even know if I should take this gig because I don't know anything about college basketball.
I was like, no, just hit him with lifestyle.
Talk about them.
You can do this.
So he hyped me up.
And I was like, yeah, yeah.
And then on air, you pulled such an a-hole move where you trying to put me on the spot and like asking me stats or something.
And I was like, bro, I don't know.
And then like the guy, the people from the brand were listening.
I was so angry at you.
You don't remember me.
No.
I almost cursed you on air and I threw the headphones and I was so angry at you.
I don't remember this at all.
How do you not remember this?
Lou may not.
How long ago was this?
It was years ago.
Rosenberg will remember.
And I was so mad at.
you and I walked out.
You stormed out of the studio?
I did.
No, you can't do that when the advertisers is listening.
You got to stay in character.
No, I, I, I stormed out.
I broke you.
But you did apologize afterwards.
You're like, man, I feel bad.
I wasn't really trying to be an Aho.
And we talked it through.
I remember I was like, at that morning, it was so mad.
I was like, I don't want to talk to you right now, Ebro.
Give me space.
No, that's a why.
And you know what's crazy about that?
That's not even really like a personal thing.
We've had like real heavy.
personal stuff.
And we haven't fought about none of that.
But we fought over college basketball stats.
I was so mad at you at that point.
That's crazy.
And then,
but that's it.
That's the only one that I,
that I can think of.
Now what about Rose,
have,
well,
we'll start with me and Rosenberg.
Okay.
Oh, God.
Have me and Rosenberg ever had a real falling out?
I feel like the answer is yes.
But I don't remember.
Let me see.
I don't,
I don't remember if,
If he was falling out with me, I've never had a falling out where it was like I wasn't going to talk to him.
I don't.
Rassan is laughing.
So do you remember something specifically?
Well, yeah, even in this iteration of the ELA, I remember right before we met live.
Uh-huh.
You guys was like going back and forth with each other and voices was getting loud.
And then I gave five, ten, five, four, three.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I remember that.
And everything was good after that.
But that wasn't really a falling out though.
It was just like we disagreed on something and I wasn't backing down on, listen, and you guys, I mean, I'm sure the audience has seen me make little comments about it.
I take great pride in what we do.
And I take great pride in how we look.
Yeah.
What we're doing now is something that we're in control of and we are paying for.
That's right.
Right?
And so it's not just a rag tag operation where we're partnering with a company and we have to sit and kind of accept whatever equipment look of the studio distribution of the content.
You know what I mean?
Like we don't have to accept things that are whack.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And so why would we continue to do things that are kind of half baked and whack when we're in control?
And one of the biggest issues that we had was.
shit was half baked and whack.
So then we come in here and I start, we're working on stuff and I'm like,
yo, why are we still doing whack half baked college radio stuff?
Yeah, yeah.
Or experimenting when like we know what success looks like on this platform.
So why are we doing this?
Yeah.
And Rosenberg is very much like, we'll get to it.
We'll evolve.
You know, slowly grow.
And you're so not like that.
You're like, now we have the tools to do it now.
I don't understand.
But other than that, I can't think we've had disagreements.
Uh-oh, Griff.
Rosenberg melted down on me on the I want to see it after January.
I believe that.
But I mean, was that a falling out?
Did I give a damn?
I don't remember.
But for the most of it, we haven't had anything crazy serious.
I remember Rosenberg to this day.
I laughed when Trump got elected in 2016.
I started laughing.
He was like, this is not funny.
I was like, it kind of is.
It's kind of ridiculous
We look ridiculous
All you can do is laugh
Because we still look ridiculous
Yeah
He got upset at you laughing
He was like I don't know how you think this is funny
I was like
It's got your reality show
Host
From The Apprentice
Is the President of the United States
That's not funny to y'all
I mean it's sad funny
It's kind of like
Got a laugh to keep from crying funny
Yeah
But when you stop and you're like
Yo if we didn't actually live here
and we heard that actually happened.
You telling me we wouldn't laugh,
we would be like,
yo,
what are they doing?
We look crazy.
And guess what?
We look crazy.
The world is going,
yo,
what are we doing?
We're in,
yo.
So anyway,
yeah,
that's all,
you know,
we don't remember anything,
okay?
We don't.
What I do know is
Rosenberg is definitely
falling out with me.
Yeah.
I don't know
I've ever cared enough to follow him.
And Rosenberg and I, I'm trying to figure out if we've ever fallen out.
The only time he got honestly red-faced Rosenberg was with that stupid hat, that stupid hat.
Oh, the Tribe Called Quest hat.
Yeah.
You, find that video.
Oh, we need to play that for the people if they haven't seen it.
The Tribe Call Quest, oh, man, that was a good time.
Yeah, just really quickly, he had given me a Tribe Call Quest hat.
He lost his and he wanted me to give him my hat.
So we argued about it and it was a whole big thing, but it is what it is.
But yeah, that's it. That's it.
All right.
Anonymous writes saying the first time writing on Freedom Friday, or Friday Freedom, L.O.L.
I appreciate how honest you are about family issues.
The show makes me feel seen even though I yell at the YouTube screen sometimes, L.O.L.
The one thing that really brought me in was your honesty about life and even fertility.
I appreciate your honest conversation about life and how crazy it is raising kids, getting pregnant, partner issues.
Rosenberg's honesty.
about going through IVF really touched my heart because my husband and I went through it.
Thank you all for your honesty and laughs.
Y'all, that's real talk.
Yeah.
Because so many people are struggling to have children.
And I know a lot of women, y'all put pressure on yourself.
And I get it because you guys, obviously, as women, are kind of raised in this society that has these, like, yo, when I found out,
that you know because as a man
I've never been to the
to the doctor with a woman before
like yo
when I first went to a gynecology appointment
to you know
understand
Issa's birth process and what's going
what was going on
and I found out that y'all
start getting quizzed
about your eggs and all that
when you're like 16
17 years old
and they're like every year y'all show up to appointment it's like okay
what are you doing and what's your plan and i was like and they and i saw some like chart
where they start showing you these charts about your ovaries and all of that it's pretty crazy
no no no i was like yo they got the pressure on y'all crazy bro and i think because other people
have dm'd me about fertility they were just really happy that we were able to
touch on it in such an honest and open way.
Because a lot of people attach like shame to it.
And it's like every,
you will be surprised how many people go through it.
IVF and IUI and all of that is so normal now.
It's expensive as,
but it's so normal.
I have the conversation with my,
my girls that are in their 20s, 30s about egg freezing.
I was just about saying,
you know,
I know it's just weird,
but you know,
I have people I manage and stuff like that who are young.
Mm-hmm.
And some of them have,
have come to me like because they I don't think they're they're like afraid to talk to
their families yeah yeah about like and they know I'm a parent I have girls right so they feel
like oh you're a dad so maybe I come talking um which is weird in the workplace for me and I'm like are
you sure you're supposed to be talking to me we have HR people for that but um I do the same where I'm like
yo you got medical that covers this bro and I know mad women that wish they did
didn't have medical coverage couldn't afford it you have it there's
like no reason not to yeah you know getting your eggs frozen it's between 10 and 15
thousand dollars wow it's insane so if you have I encourage people to just to look into it
like if you're if you're lucky enough to have insurance that covers it man just take advantage of
it because it'll save you so much in the future but yeah real talk that we have here so let me ask
you Laura um because there's also like the cultural and religious pressure yeah having children um
And I know women who had children young and had full support of their family.
Yeah.
Like, it was like, you know, it was almost like their family wanted them to get having children out of the way so they could continue their life.
And it was kind of like grandma and the family would rally around the sport.
Is that a thing that you've heard where the family's just basically like, no, like have children in your 20s.
We're going to support you.
Hopefully the marriage works, but we need these babies.
That's a thing.
That's definitely a thing.
At least I grew up with my mom is super progressive.
super liberal so when I was going through
I don't know if I want to have kids
she was like whatever you want to do
well and for you the I don't know if I want to have kids
was linked to the partner part or the responsibility
of having kids or just all of it all of it all of it
and I in my circle of friends I've had
one two three of my girlfriends who've had
horrible partners and what I mean like
co-parenting situations that I've been like
complete nightmares so I was like yeah I'm not
dealing with any of that, you know, and I've seen how bad it's affected them. Don't get me wrong.
I have some that have been excellent and they have wonderful families, you know. I just didn't want to,
I didn't want to be a part of that mess. But I had my child later on in life and, you know, it wasn't
easy. Because also as a woman, it's like if you, the longer you wait, the more complicated
things get. Yeah. And that's where the IVF and the IUI and all this stuff comes here. Yes, yes, yes.
But yeah, shout out to you. And thank you. Thank you for bringing that up because quietly.
people have sent me messages thinking us for just being so open and honest about it.
And fellas, going out there and get to the, get to the, you know, I was going to call it the spank bank,
but it's not really a spank bank.
But going in there and get your soldiers, see if they're moving and swimming.
Because everyone always assume it's the women's issue.
And I'm telling y'all, these dudes, the way y'all are drinking, sedentary, smoking, eating,
all you eating is meat and not getting any veggies and not getting any sleep.
I'm telling you, your swimmers ain't swimming.
All of that affects you.
Or they're not swimming, they're not swimming straight.
Yeah.
They might be growing two tails and all of this.
Oh, my God.
And swimming in circles and not know which way is up.
Going there and, and have them look at your stuff.
Sit in the little room.
I don't sat in the little room.
I don't sat in the room.
You know what I'm saying?
And they got the magazines.
Okay.
Yo, the room, y'all I'm telling you, they got the little porn magazine.
And then they got the little TV.
Like, you could bring your own DVD.
I was like, why didn't even have this?
I got my phone.
Yo, is it all like from the 90s, all outdated?
Nah, I didn't even look at the stuff.
I was like, hey, I'm not touching it.
So I don't know what y'all been doing over here.
Let me go ahead and bring my phone out like I normally watch, you know what I mean,
my adult content and get this off into this cup.
Yo, that is hilarious.
That is hilarious.
You know what I can not.
Nah, then sat in the room, man.
I'm sure there's people who saw me sitting in the room.
Luckily, nothing.
And luckily, you know, when I was, you know, I'm older.
So, you know, when Jazz and I were talking about this and she was good to go, I was like, let me just go make sure.
So we did, you know, it's interesting when you get older, you start thinking about like DNA testing and making sure kids are healthy and like making sure.
So I went and did, you know, I got good medical.
So I was like, let's do all the things.
Let's see what's what before we go down this path because I'm older now.
And, you know, I want to make sure I, you know.
Get blessed with the right thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And if you're, listen, listen, this is a message to you.
I'm looking at you.
I'm looking into the camera.
If you have a job where you are lucky enough to have insurance, go to the doctor.
Man.
Please.
Please.
There's so many people that live this independent life.
You know what I mean?
They work for themselves.
They're entrepreneurs.
They don't have insurance.
They refuse to go to the doctor.
But I have so many friends, Iber,
who have excellent insurance and they're scared to go.
They're scared to find out because they,
know they're unhealthy. They don't want to face it, but you have insurance. Please go get your annual,
you know, your physical, your checkup, go to your specialist. Take advantage of it. I'm talking to
you. Well, and I'm going to tell you, for those that, you know, don't know and you don't have access
because whatever your economic bracket is, the rich folks is out here with some specialized
doctoring going on. Yep. So all this Wagovi and Ozimic that they take in, these pepest,
Peptides.
You know, and I, you know, I don't know, there's a lot of peptides.
So I don't know, a lot of them are not FDA approved.
No, no, no.
And so.
Some are.
You can, you can actually go out here and get what they're calling a concierge doctor now,
where you pay for a membership.
And then that doctor will now help you work on do your whole, you know,
what is it called, like blood testing of your hormones.
whatever, and they'll give you peptides
so that your body will start making the stuff that you need.
So the only reason I know about this
is because my knee, my right knee is on fire.
So I start asking people who have been through
who are older than me, like, yo, what are y'all doing?
Like, because I'm in pain, bro.
And they're like, yo, you're not taking peptides?
I'm like, what the hell is that?
Yeah.
What you're talking about?
So they have a peptide or a couple now,
and yeah, you got to inject it every day
whatever and I think it comes in topicals and pill forms yeah but anyway my doctor was like yeah
you're like bro I've been impeding this whole time you didn't tell me like so like so in my brain is like
this when if I stand for like two three hours my knee is on fire if I'm walking fast like a paste walk
let's say I don't a few blocks in the city paste walk my knee is on fire if I sit too long knee is
hurting.
Yeah, yeah, right?
Cycling, the reason I love cycling, when I get done cycling, knee feels phenomenal.
When I get done lifting, knee feels phenomenal because I'm engaging the quad muscle and
it's important to join all the things.
No, but it's important.
But anyway, now I'm thinking about taking a peptide.
Yeah.
I'm thinking about getting one of these concierge doctors doing the damn thing and then getting
the peptide so I can get my knee tightened up.
And I know you guys be like, well, Ebrook's case, it might be rich people talk.
But you'll be surprised how much your insurance covers.
Most people don't know.
Right.
So talk to your doctor, Bree, because they definitely got stuff now that, yes, they got the O-Zempics and all the stuff for the weight and all of that.
But they got stuff for arthritis pain.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I do, you know, I go to my doctor, shout to Riley Williams.
We've had them on the show before we did my knee surgeries.
I go to his office right here at the hospital special surgery on the right on the west side
And I do PRP where they take the blood they take your blood they spin it in this thing and I got it yo
Real talk a session of that like three injections to that three visits to that is two thousand dollars crazy
It's crazy two thousand but anyway I just I encourage you guys to see exactly what your insurance covers because bro when I was looking into it
I was like I got like my nutritionist was covered I was like going to
Oh my God, I didn't know all of this.
All right, let me hit you with another one, Ebro.
This is from Jose.
It's called Show in Love.
I just want to show love and support.
I've been seeing the negative post on blogs,
and I've been fighting with losers and comments.
Just know you're my favorite daily watch.
You guys are hella funny, informative, and mature.
The show is for adults, and I appreciate y'all so much.
No, we appreciate you too.
Appreciate you, too.
I've had people send me clips of other podcasts.
talking about us.
I think I got sent like a clip of like a no jumper podcast.
You know, I've never seen one in my life.
But what I find funny about it is like we are completely different.
You will not see us.
We're not going to sit down with any gangster rappers.
No, excuse me, not gangster rappers.
Real gangsters.
I mean like, because I've seen like real, real gangsters on some of those clips.
No, no, no, no, no.
We are very, very, very, very.
Very mature people.
We are squares.
We are law-biting citizens.
I am talking to you about insurance and kids.
Like this show is for adults that have jobs.
If you happen to come from the street life and you'll have something positive going on, we absolutely are going to sit there.
That's different.
But to sit up here and just talk about who's got what snitch papers and who's, you know, under federal investigation and RICO's and, yeah.
It's not for us.
But you know why this is popular?
It's like reality show content,
even though, you know, it's not on VH1.
Because a majority of people are squares, Laura.
Yeah.
And so they're intrigued by these worlds
that they're not a part of
and entertained by them,
but it's just entertainment.
They don't actually care,
I don't believe, about the individuals
that they're laughing at
or talking trash to in the comments
or egging beef on or watching people harm each other
because they're not really involved.
They're sitting in the,
their bedroom just talking to the comments and be quick quick to post an RIP post the next next day
you know what I mean no thank you we have nothing yeah we have nothing to do with that I do
appreciate you should we save Marion who has comments for Rosenberg until Rosenberg's here next
yeah let's save it let's save it all right so save that one Griff that's about uh Jews in
Hollywood and and and uh sinners okay but this one right here is Wendy
from Wendy and Navi.
Okay.
Hi, Ibrough, Laura Rosenberg.
My name is Wendy, a regular,
smegler, degler girlfriend of the Bronx.
Now living in Georgia.
Proud and loyal fight.
We appreciate you, Wendy.
First off, I'm glad you got out to plantation and do your own thing.
I have an 11-year-old son, Navi.
We listen to the show together every day.
He plays the podcast on the way to school,
and I catch it live on the way home.
He's been gifted in classes since second grade,
so he really understands a lot of the topics y'all get into.
When Ebro gets fired up, Navi is right there in the backseat of green.
That's right, Navi.
Asking questions, adding his own commentary,
he definitely laughs whenever Rosenberg slips in a curse word.
Listening together has opened the door for real,
unfiltered conversations between us.
That's dope.
I love that.
I don't think you realize how educational the show is.
I'm raising a black child in the South,
and it's wild hearing kids' age talk about politics.
Politics already.
Meanwhile, Navi is confidently dropping facts.
He's picked up from your show and from home.
Navi's birthday is April 15 happy birthday happy birthday Navi a signed mug would absolutely make
his day if that's possible is that possible Laura styles the merch manager yeah yeah we can work on it
there's I've gotten a couple of requests for signed merch okay so I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna
I'm gonna figure this out for y'all um shout to the super chat and everybody throwing stuff up in the
super chat we'll try to get to you but we got a lot of emails to get to uh you had you was
about to say something or sign oh we have the Rosenberg hat
video let's double back on the time Rosenberg went full meltdown over a tribe car a free hang on a free
tribe car quest hat that we all got gifted tribe car quest merch pinton you look at that happens
i let's see what i want to give it to him why what's you're gonna do runoff with it yeah my hat you're saying
The old Ben's hat.
So you're saying this dusty...
That might have just got there right now.
Looks like it had been worn.
He said a guy from a guy outside.
Yeah.
That t-shirt, fire, warped here.
Now, the better question is, why you buy a dirty hats?
I'm not a picture.
Why are you putting his hat on?
I want to change the size and see if it looks like the same hell.
Someone else is that.
No, that is the hype of the game.
Oh, so.
you were remember right how are you changing the size of the hat it's the same bad it's not your
hat shout to hip-hop mic will you guys stop playing this game what game
that Ben's bought him to my tribe hat on the street it's not yours it has a sticker on it
it's not yours why are you tweaking yo guys are all assholes by yeah
yo why are you guys what you're at you guys look at you guys you guys are you guys this is
You should have the game.
Nobody's playing with you, bro.
Guess what?
If that was the case, then guess what?
Ben's just lost his hat.
They got daked in front of them.
Wow.
You take his hat, yo?
Your hat didn't have a sticker on it, bro.
Let me look and look at us.
Next time we need something, go only go to Steve.
Okay, hold on.
Wow.
That's crazy.
That's crazy.
You're going to go.
You're not your hat.
No, that's not your hat.
hat the guy the setup is good i appreciated the work that went into it multiple people were involved
you think you're going to play me this bad the sticker this genius where would he get this
hat this i don't know where would we get a sticker but you didn't have a sticker on your
how would you have a new sticker on your hat um because i know someone else who has the sticker who
who laura stiles you think i brought the sticker why would she have this just the sticker i know what's happening guys
I'm really complex.
Andrew Bens, who I know very well, I've never seen the man wear a hat once.
It looked absurd sitting on his head.
I'm expected to believe that our engineer who doesn't wear a hat found a tribe hat on the street.
And it looks used on the exact same level that mine was used.
This is just as beat.
That's not your hat.
You're a piece of shit.
And you should be the happiest one.
Because we all knew what was happening next.
You're gonna get pleasure and be browbeaten until you gave me your hat.
And now...
This is so mean. You guys are mean.
And the thing I wonder is how long...
How long ago do you guys know where the hat was?
Because not your hat.
It's not your hat.
But how could you be so sure it's off my head?
Because you're a...
You're a fucking dick hair.
The part of you.
So now you look crazy.
You're gonna have...
I got the hat today to fuck with you, you dick.
So why would you do that?
You were to get it all on tape because you're an asshole.
How am I an asshole?
That wasn't me being an asshole.
We're going to pretend and make you think that we found the hat and you're an asshole.
Congratulations.
You played yourself.
No, but he really was upset.
He was upset.
But the point of the whole thing, Rosenberg, and I wish you was here.
The point of the whole thing is you weren't listening to anyone in the room.
He didn't care.
You were so positive that you knew what was going on.
Yo, and he still has that trait by the way.
Even after that, you were so positive you knew what was going on.
I wish he was here to defend himself.
But that was a day that he went bad.
And this is a clip because, yo, good job catching this behind the scenes because I didn't even know.
I didn't remember that.
No, didn't they all go on the internet.
Okay.
No, we put that whole thing on the internet.
Oh, God, he was so mad.
But he really was genuinely pissed at all of us.
No, we put that whole thing on the internet.
To point out, and I think at the time, it was to teach him a lesson about being a dick.
So first of it, actually, you guys set him up, and I think Deiani have recorded it for Snapchat.
Yes.
And then after that break, you guys went on the air about it, and then that's the video that we posted.
Right, right, right.
Wow, bro.
Well.
Bro, he'll be so certain about something and argue it to death.
Even in his face.
Everybody was like, it's not your hat.
But I think the trick on him was the fact
we told him it was Bentz.
That's why he couldn't believe it.
And we would have told him it was Laura's hat from the jump.
He might have went for it.
Anyway, oh God, red face Rosenberg.
We get one of those gems every now and then.
What's you got, Laura, on the email?
Okay, this is from Billy.
Yeah.
Hey, squad, I've listened to every single ELR show on Apple Podcast
since you guys got started.
Most of them in entirety.
The show is exactly what I need as a daily commuter
with two hours of driving a day to and from Harrisburg, PA.
I never got a chance to listen on the radio show,
but I followed Rosenberg here from the world of WWE and Chee Pete.
And I'm now a fop for life.
There you go.
As soon to be dad, oh, congratulations.
And just a person trying to stay informed yet sane
amid the absolute absurdity of that we are subjected to every day, every single day.
ELR is the show for me.
I'm gonna'amena.
And, like my music, my hair can't change with me and has to be able to
keep my rhythm.

Oh wow, Billy, thank you.
That's dope.
That's fire.
He never listened to our show before.
Yo, Billy, appreciate you, bro.
That's fine.
Appreciate you.
All right, so let's get into something.
This is a good one.
All right.
You know what, nah.
What?
I need a white person here.
We don't have our token white person.
Oh, my God.
Why?
Well, because Linda says the miss, no miss combo.
You know when I teach my kids to say miss and show a level of respect.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But Linda wrote an inflammatory email.
All right, I read it.
Black people are raised to stay in their place reminiscent of enslavement.
White people are taught to think they're equal to anyone, if not superior.
It's why white people will hire the most ignorant, uneducated black person,
preferably unfamiliar with the child's culture to be their nanny.
They want their kids to view black people as inferior and subservient.
Also why in New York City, white people open charter schools to keep their rhythmically challenged far less coordinated kids, apart from confident, smart, entitled creative, athletically gifted black children.
How can you carry on the belief of superiority despite all evidence confirming the opposite?
By the way, that was the whole email from Linda.
That was it.
She just wanted to say that.
That's why I say I need a white person here
So we can have a real
Well-rounded conversation
But you know look
Some of what she's saying
I think has validity to it
You know
And for and for some people
Yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Especially privileged ones who can afford nannies
And can afford to start charter schools
And and privately fund those charter schools
Because you know charter schools
Take public funds and private funds
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
So, but then damn
But you had to go rhythmically
Challenged far less
Coordinated kids
That was
That's rough
Felt rough
And uncalled for
Linda
But we hear you
We hear you
We hear you
Um
Ebro Laura Rosenberg
At Gmail
We still got to get to the gurus today
Um
Question for you, Laura
Yes
I noticed earlier in the week
When Rosenberg
Was going at academics
You didn't seem to love that.
I just, I don't.
Or, and more specifically,
talking to the dude who was like trying to call me broken all that.
I don't.
Tell us what.
I just, I feel like we're a completely different show.
I just don't feel that we need to wallow in the mud.
Like, I, I'm okay with them saying,
our show sucks.
Who wears the audience for that?
Who are they, you know?
Right.
I can't relate.
Of course you can't relate because we're talking about different things.
But we have an amazing audience that wakes up every morning and tunes in.
I think we're doing a phenomenal job.
We're growing at a great pace.
So there's obviously an audience for us, an audience that doesn't care about internet beef,
an audience who doesn't even know who academics or any of these people are.
People who, that's why I said this is a grown-up show.
This is a place where you come and you discuss life, health, family matters.
When I was on Patreon, when Louis does one of those ask me anythings,
We get a lot of, hey, please talk about health routines,
talk about what you're doing to keep yourself in shape.
Like, if anyone else wanted to see,
these things, we're like, these guys are nerds.
Yeah, we are.
Yeah, we are nerds.
We watch documentaries.
We hang on with our families.
But it should be pointed out that most of the people
that are out here talking about street nonsense,
they're nerds too.
That's why they're talking about it and not actually doing it.
In a different way, yeah.
Well, no, no, you're a dork.
You're a dork because you're enamored by,
street things that you're not in any way
shape or form involved in.
Like it's not your life.
You're waste.
You're glazing people who are actually outside.
You're fan-boying people who are actually outside doing real things.
And you're taking it and you're monetizing for the internet
and sometimes for community harm.
That's how I see it.
Like people lose their lives.
Yeah.
Like why are we pushing this?
Do you think it's because you was really outside and you know these people are dorks?
Well, I grew up in Mid City, Los Angeles, where my neighborhood was gang infested, and I saw death at a very young age, and I never wanted to be a part of any of that life.
And I've lost a lot of people that I've loved.
And going back home, I still see people doing the same thing.
And I look at them like, damn, what a waste of a life.
Like, you've done nothing with yourself.
You're still out here doing X, Y, Z.
So I just, I think it's a waste of time.
I think that our audience loves us for who we are.
and the people who support us show up every day
and I'm like, who cares about what these people think?
You know, that's just how I feel.
No, I feel you.
No, I listen.
You guys like to.
No, no, no.
I just like to talk to.
Yes, that's what I'm saying.
You like to talk shit.
Most of her I like to talk shit.
Yeah, I just like talk shit.
But what you're saying and the reason I brought it up
is because you're absolutely right.
Like, I just enjoy going at it with people
just for engagement.
You know what I mean?
For me, it's just like being, you know, it's like, it's like playing hoop at the park
where people are just talking shit all the time.
You know, it's like, it's like playing dominoes to me.
You know what I mean?
Where you're sitting across the table with somebody and they talk of shit.
Like, I don't really, it's not, yeah, it's a sport for me.
It's video games.
I know, I know.
It's so funny.
Like our friend Waino was like, why are you guys even doing this?
I saw Wano.
Yeah.
He was like, stop fighting the internet.
Let the internet think what they want.
Let the internet to think what they want to think.
Shout to Wano, man.
And I see what you're doing on your platform.
And I love the fact you you know got your crib I see you you know really making a couple of dollars and paying bills and living life and doing your thing and telling your story and that's fire bro. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Shout to what I feel you. I will say this man. And I've said it before. I love how much promo we shout to the Jasmine brand. They must be getting a lot of engagement from our content because they keep posting us. I didn't know we'd ever be popping on the Jasmine brand. Shout to the Jasmine brand. I saw a clip.
of uh what's the name who the guy hollywood a lot was it
Jason Lee Jason Lee yeah and it was like and maybe we got bringing us up next week
more in depth but the headline was like Jason Lee says you know F e bro or something
that was the headline y'all you sent it to me right and I was like what did I do 50 cent
me what why is it for like what did I do?
I really don't know why, where that would come from.
So I have to show.
Was it F, like straight up F, Ebro?
Yeah, something like that.
Yeah.
And then, you know, him and Rosenberg been having some.
I don't even know the origins of why Rosenberg is calling Rosenberg.
Jason calls Rosenberg culture.
I'll tell you.
We had Jason on the show once.
Remember?
So we had him on a couple times.
Maybe.
Maybe twice.
Okay.
And this was, by the way, Jason, we were supporting you early, bro.
Yeah.
But I guess after the interview, something happened where Jason called Rosenberger Culture Vulture.
But why?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Just because he's white?
Because he's white?
Anyway, so that's how that happened.
And Rosenberg is like, we just had you on the show.
We were supporting what you're doing.
And then I'll, you know, that's how Rosenberg said.
So Jason in this clip that you gave me, do we play the clip?
Do we have the clip?
Do you have the clip, Rasson?
you don't have it
because I didn't even plan on talking about this today
so maybe we'll get into it later
but in the clip he talks about meeting me in Northern California
back in the day
because he's from Stockton I was in Sacramento
sir I don't recall
well I don't know what he was doing
bro I can't remember what was done on this show in the last
same bro if I met him in Northern California
you know what year that is that's pre
98 that was one that would have to be
yeah
because I was on the air in Northern California
from 1990 to 1998 programming,
doing air, on air, clubs, all that.
So who knows?
So, yeah, it would have to be that.
Maybe upwards of 01.
No, I was still hanging out around in 01
because I didn't get to New York to 0203.
So, but at any rate,
I wanted to point out that I don't know
the podcast that Jason Lee was on.
What did they call?
You bag fuel big up because clearly they thought my name and that conversation and putting it in the title was going to get the algorithm popping.
So my name, you know, our name, my name, Laura Rosenberg, they're using us for the Algo hustle.
We on to something.
Can't bow.
You know you're back.
Blame Ebro is back.
Say word.
Blame Ebro is back.
What is it?
Blame broke Ebroke.
Blame broke Ebroke.
Blame broke Ebro's a thing.
Oh, but I'm broke.
What's the blame?
Blame Ebro, that was, that's a classic.
That's 2012.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Did that, do you think people remember Blame Ebro from back then?
They don't remember that.
I had sold socks that said blame Ebro.
I had T-shirts that say blame E-bro.
Yeah, I remember this.
This is funny.
Yeah.
The broke thing that the internet likes to run with is because they just take pieces of like
our earlier shows, like when we were building the.
studio and they're like look at them they can't even afford a studio they're moving them around though
hey listen i'll take the promo because guess what even if they run those around when people come
if they care to come look for us now they're going to see a different program so they're going to
see progress and so i take the progress i just wanted to point out that the promo is phenomenal
and so the the Rosenberg going to act is going to get promo you know look Rosenberg does a lot of like
wrestling tactics in the show where he's unraveling over things and it's really how he feels which is
fortunate for us but we're not going to get that from laura stows and that's why i've asked you how you
felt and what you thought about it because laura's not going to unravel on a bitch but if she does
oh man the problem is is laura won't give you the satisfaction of publicly unraveling on
no i was trying to get it out of her with the juanito thing she wasn't giving us nothing
I gave you something
A little something
A little shade
Some people
You know
Some people are very much like
I can't believe you're
You're this mean
You're mean to him
After what you did to him
What did you do to him?
That people
I can't believe you did that to him
Laura that's terrible
Well you're involved
Some people feel that we made Juanita
Look like a fool
It was mostly Laura
How
How?
He doesn't
You know what
You're trying to
You try to bait me. I see what you're doing.
You try to rape me.
I was about to say something right now.
No, no, no.
Well, we had a discussion earlier this week, too.
Was this on the Patreon?
I don't remember because we do so many shows.
I don't know where I say things.
When we talked about Juanito and I was talking about how I think he has resentment towards us.
Was that on the air?
It was Patreon.
That was in the Patreon.
Check the Patreon.
But we went deep.
Yes.
Where I was saying that I think that Juanito and I tried to evolve Juanito's
character, but he always resorted to being who he is.
Yeah.
And so I didn't tell him to speak improper grammar so badly.
You know what I'm saying?
Like not only was it improper grammar, it was also bad improper grammar.
I didn't even tell Juanito to do that.
And he was always chaotic and a mess and like, but that's him.
That's why I tell people I'm like, bro, how many times did we give this man a chance?
we didn't tell him hey Juanito act like this did you ever say that no we never said that the only thing
that the only label Juanito got that was like something that was put upon him was the tallest Mexican
and that was a long time ago I mean I was not a part of that I like the tallest man he's tall he's
he's Mexican he's not the tallest Mexican but he was at the time he was one of the tallest
Mexicans that Rosenberg knew and Seif.
So he called him tall.
And he thought it was hilarious.
Yeah.
So that was like the only thing I think that was put upon him.
Why, Rassan, you remember something else?
No, I was going to say, I think he credits Kay Slay for giving him that.
Case Lay is Tallest Mexican.
All right.
Okay.
So rest of peace, Kay Slay.
Okay.
So it wasn't even us.
But so, but I do think he harbors resentment.
Or, but I also think that may be Juanito.
And this is why I keep checking on him.
And Laura, I think you should check on him.
And why that's Rosenberg.
about this too.
Juanito has had a lot of loss in his life.
And so this most recent Hot 97 loss, right?
What place that he beloved or a place that he loved and he was beloved.
I think he's mourning a little bit.
Not being a hot 97.
He was there.
How long was Juanito?
Since 2005?
06.
Working with C., working with K. Slay, working with enough.
hustling, working with Seif, working with Rosenberg,
Purdue, like he, that was his life, bro.
Yeah, like a lot of us.
So you don't feel bad.
Everything that you're saying, I can relate because I went through the same.
But you don't feel like you should check on Juanito because now he doesn't.
Wait, listen, we had a text conversation.
Like I showed you, if I see Juanito, I'm not going to be like, oh, my God, I hate you.
I will never talk to you.
So he could come on the show.
To do what exactly?
We just have to talk about it.
It's fine. It's fine. It's fine. I'm teasing.
Yo, you got a guru ready?
Yes, yes, yes.
Let's get to the guru.
Hey, yo, it's shop with the gurus.
Rosenberg.
All right.
You know, you are a beautiful queen.
Ebro.
Don't ever play yourself.
You're not a guru.
All right.
This is a long one, guys.
I'm going to try to, like, edit this whole shebang.
All right.
The original gurus at gmail.com.
The original gurus at gmail.com.
Where the gurus unite.
to shine the line.
Burn the sagey brow.
Oh, my allergies.
Oh, God.
My allergies. The sage is my allergy.
My nose is sensitive.
Here we go.
Hang on.
Oh, that was a nasty one.
Zen, Zen, Zen.
All right.
Hey, gurus, long-time listener
and having missed a show here since the move.
Love the new show.
Keep doing what you're doing.
Right into it.
I have a co-worker in a hospital.
She is trash.
She was hired as a shift.
You okay?
Yeah.
All right.
She was hired as a shift lead
and immediately thought that she was better than everyone,
even though she's clearly still learning about the profession.
F, Dad, B.
She's the definition of pretentious.
She's the definition of, yeah, pretentious.
She caters to the higher ups.
She caters to leadership.
She's an ass kiss, a bootlicker.
Yes.
A brown noser.
And then behind all their bags shows her true,
colors to the rest of us. It's not the problem. The problem is the second someone speaks up,
she brings race into it. It's her way or you're a racist. Anytime anybody says anything,
she says you're racist against black people. My question is, how do you deal with people like this?
I don't like her, not because she's black, but because she sucks as a person. One of our main
managers is also black and she's absolutely wonderful, but this coworker has brown-nosed her way to
becoming almost BFFs with the higher ups and I feel like it's even a losing battle to say anything.
If it matters, I'm Hispanic.
So maybe it's not as bad as someone white saying this.
Regardless, even outside this instant, these kind of white people exist.
How many times?
Okay, hold on.
Let me just, it's too much.
It's too much.
This is my work issue.
I'm mostly ignored these people, but now I just feel a certain way.
How do I approach the situation?
What do I say?
Oh, by the way, she said to me that black people are incapable of being racist.
Is that an actual belief?
I'm just curious.
But I don't want to ask anything again because I'm scared.
Any insight on that statement?
Thanks in advance.
Well, technically, we'll start with the racism and black people's being incapable of being racist.
The term racist and racism is based around social constructs.
Yes.
Race is a social construct.
So in the society we live in today,
the institutionalized racism
and the way racism has shaped people's perception of things
and shaped policy and shaped, hell, city planning.
Everything, yes.
All of that.
Yes, black people have had no play in any of that.
So a black person actually institutionalizing something
or having the power dynamic to be racist.
That's the technical breakdown of it.
So maybe that's what she's talking about.
Yes.
That is a thing.
But that doesn't make her not a bigot,
not an a-hole, you know,
not a bitch, you know, give me a turn.
All of the above.
So those are all separate things.
I don't understand your workplace enough
to comment on what she's talking about
because unfortunately, like we were just saying,
our society, a lot of things are based in race and racism.
I will say, though, if something is,
if she's doing something specific that's affecting you,
you can follow the corporate structure and just go to HR.
Yeah, because I didn't hear in her email
that the woman was doing anything to this person that emailed
us other than being annoying and kissing ass to the executive.
Yes.
Which makes me think that the emailer is actually more annoyed with this person because she's
black.
Because if the person was just a brown noser and was just kissing ass to executives, would
you be emailing us?
I think in one part of the email, they said that they act a certain way with the higher
ofs, but when it comes to the rest of the staff, I'm assuming she treats him like
I'm assuming that's what I got from the email
But let's just say that's the
If that's a situation
But remove race from the convoy
Like there's probably
There's other managers in the world
Who do the same thing
This woman just happens to be black
Absolutely
So I'm pushing this back on the emailer
Because everything you're saying about this woman
Could absolutely be true
But why is race a part of this convoy
Other than the fact that the woman
Makes race about the convo
You know about a lot of things
Because
Because nothing happening in the work
places based on race.
Yeah, her being black doesn't, has nothing to do with it.
Other than her bringing it up all the time.
Yes, yes, yes.
But her being mean, kissing ass to executives, treating the staff like ish.
That's not because she's black.
That's because she's an asshole.
That's it.
So I think that if it's directly affecting you, if there's something, a concrete thing that
you're like, man, this made me feel XYZ.
The only thing you can do is go to a higher up.
Go to HR if it's affecting your work or the workplace environment.
But other than that, I really don't see what her being black has anything to do with this.
Do you think on this for the emailer?
Do you think this is for you to look in the mirror and ask yourself,
if this was a blonde-haired, blue-eyed person who happened to be Hispanic?
Yeah.
Because there are Hispanics who are blonde-haired blue-eyed.
Yeah.
Would you be equally annoyed?
Right.
Would you be equally offended?
Would you be emailing us about this person?
Yeah.
What would you do about it?
Correct.
So think about that.
And like I said, if it's something that directly affects your workplace, then just, I would just go to HR if it's that bad.
But other than that, that's it.
So see the gurus.
Wow.
Boom.
Bip.
